Amelia Review
"I´m going to fly around the world." "It can´t be done!" "Well let´s change that." Amelia Earhart had the heart and vision to do what no one had ever done before, and she did it knowing that in a new world era her actions carved a stairway for other women who had the will to try.

An Education Review
"So what you´re telling me is to be bored & then bored & finally bored again but this time for the rest of my life." A 17-year-old girl faces the world from both sides at once while she simultaneously prepares for Oxford and gets caught in the swirl of glamorous London nights and Paris mornings.

Becoming Jane Fact and Fiction
Cassandra Austen burned most of Jane Austen’s letters after Jane’s death. We cannot know the secrets of her heart or the tears of her sufferings, but we can soar with her on the wings of her novels to imagine what her life must have been.

Becoming Jane Review
“What is she doing?” “Writing.” “Can nothing be done about it?” “If you wish to practice the art of fiction, to be the equal of a masculine author, your horizons must be…widened…by an extraordinary young man.” Jane Austen is Becoming Jane the great author.

Bright Star Review
Bright Star is a story of love, trials and tears..some tears shed for beauty’s sake, some shed for sorrow’s sake and some shed for love’s sake. John Keats meets, loves and leaves Fanny Brawne, though true eternal love never leaves them.

Charlie Wilson´s War Review
Charlie Wilson drank at ten in the morning, in king´s palaces (or would have if he could have), in hot tubs, at 2 a.m. and any other time possible. He was the U.S. Congressman who, along with a woman and a rogue, made it possible for history to be rewritten in Afghanistan between 1980 and 1989.

Coco Before Chanel Review
Ever wonder how women’s fashion made the jump from the corseted 1890s to the free and easy 1920s styles? The answer lies in the movie Coco Before Chanel. It´s the story of how Coco Chanel singlehandedly changed what women wear and became the biggest name in fashion.

Contagion Movie Review
A logical first impression would be that Contagion is a remake of Outbreak, but a closer look reveals a thoughtful and thought-provoking medical thriller.

Definitely Maybe Review
An interesting story that falls apart in the telling, on the eve of his divorce, Will Hayes takes his daughter Maya and us on the roller coaster ride of his past three "serious" loves. It´s PG-13, a rating which should be respected.

Elizabeth Review
Elizabeth Tudor (1533 – 1603) became Elizabeth I, Queen of England, ruling from 1553 to 1603, after a long and tumultuous road that included being disowned and imprisoned. She is renowned as one of England’s greatest monarchs.

Fame Review
Fame comes back to life in full splendor with 21st Century dressings. Fame is rousingly full of good song, good dance, good talent. You´ll want to see this inspirational film in which teens learn to be performers and, while they are at it, endure the struggles of being a teen in the 21st Century.

Footloose Movie Review
Dennis Quaid, Julianne Hough and newcomer Kenny Wormald star in a decent remake of “Footloose” with energetic dance routines of the beloved 1984 toe-tapping musical drama.

Kinky Boots Review
Kinky Boots provided a wealth of information below the surface because the aspirations of different characters were embodied in their accents and speech patterns. Rated PG-13 but better for 17 and up.

Little Miss Sunshine Review
A normal family with tendencies to various dysfunctions takes a road trip to Redondo Beach, CA for their youngest daughter in big oversized plastic rimmed glasses, the alternate finalist in the Miss Sunshine Beauty Pageant, providing a vehicle for understanding beauty—but a poor vehicle for driving.

Love Happens Review
What do you do when your life changes—for the worse—and suddenly makes you famous? What do you do when your life changes again and a woman in flower shop requires truth from the cardboard cutout of yourself? Love Happens and when it does, changes in life can change again.

Matt Damon´s Linus in Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13
Linus Caldwell, the apprentice with moxie in Ocean’s Eleven, played by Oscar winner Matt Damon of The Bourne Identity fame, undergoes a metamorphosis before reappearing in Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen. Ah. But was the metamorphosis a good change or a bad change?

Michael Jackson This Is It
“You knock me off´a my feet. The way you make me feel.” Rehearsal videos from Michael Jackson´s preparations for his final concert combined with voice-overs from interviews make one spectacular night at the movies showing the inside makings of great entertainment and a great entertainer´s mind.

Movie Terminology Definitions
Much of filmmaking jargon is useless to the casual movie goer but some concepts are actually useful for adding to your enjoyment of movie viewing.

One Lat Dance Review
Three estranged friends and retired dancers are reunited to perform the masterpiece dance of a lifetime in One Last Dance. The emotions run high, the energy is exuberant, the leaps higher and accomplishments extraordinary in the lives of the dancers and the performance of One Last Dance.

Stage Door Canteen Review
Stage Door Canteen (1943) is a magnificent look at a real USO canteen in New York City during World War II. USO canteens were always operated by volunteers and in NYC, celebrities were the volunteers!

Stanley Tucci 2009 Independent by Nature Award
America’s favorite character actor, Stanley Tucci, received the 2009 Independent by Nature Award in acknowledgment of some of his contributions to filmmaking (Blind Date, Julie & Julia, The Devil Wears Prada, The Terminal, Shall We Dance, The Impostors, The Pelican Brief).

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
We see life more clearly in retrospect, but when you’re born at the wrong end of life, which way is retrospect? Benjamin Button leaves the world with less experience than he brought into it. He becomes the incarnation of the “second childhood.” An implausible story is brilliantly made believable.

The Help Movie Review
"The Help" tells the stories of a changing America in the 1960s Civil Rights movement through the eyes of black maids working in the South.

The Hudsucker Proxy Review
Insidious members of the Hudsucker Board of Directors deviously plot the take-over of controlling interest of the owner bereft company. Norville Barnes is their entry level candidate for Hudsucker President. Twists and turns show off the Coen brothers’ taste for dark farce. Definitely PG-13.

The Informant Review
When good intentions and human foibles get together, embarrassingly funny situations result, especially when you’re an FBI informant wearing a wire and surrounded by cameras.

The Young Victoria Review
U.S. Release Date December 2009: The Young Victoria: The story of love between the young, but soon to be, Queen Victoria and her Prince Albert. Queen Victoria´s speculated love for and supposed secret marriage to her gillie is surpassed by her true and lasting love for her husband Prince Albert.
