Review: Untitled: Almost Famous the Bootleg Cut (2000)

April 29th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Early Childhood Education

“Almost Famous” comes to screens at the end of a somewhat disappointing movie summer, breathing Oscar-buzz, heartfelt seriousness back into cinemas that spent recent months showcasing morphing mutants and cars that crash. Some four years after the …

Review: Fanny und Alexander (1982)

It’s much more about young Alexander than his little sister Fanny, and although it’s best remembered as Ingmar Bergman’s last film (it wasn’t, technically, seeing as he’s still alive and making movies today), might it also be his warmest film as …

Review: Beyond Silence (1996)

The recovery movement is filled with stories of children who grew up having to take care of emotionally dysfunctional parents. But what about those children who had to run interference for emotionally healthy parents with physical disabilities? In …

Review: A Beautiful Mind (2001)
A Beautiful Mind (2001) shows the incredible power of the human spirit, the remarkable triumph of love, and the beautiful wonder of passion. To ensure maximum enjoyment for those yet to view this film and for those who are yet to read this book, I …
Review: Fade to Black (2004)
Throughout Jay-Z’s Fade to Black , the rap superstar talks about the importance of making his final album great, and about how big his November 2003 concert at Madison Square Garden needs to be. Both are profiled in the film. It would have been n...
Review: Jungle Fever (1991)
“Jungle Fever,” Spike Lee’s new film, opens with a still photograph of Yusuf K. Hawkins, the black teen-ager killed by a white mob in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn two summers ago. But if the screen had remained blank, the memor...
Review: Waterland (1992)
Set in Pittsburgh and England’s Fens–the low, flat marshlands where East Anglia meets the North Sea–WATERLAND sadly but perhaps inevitably fails to measure up to the acclaimed novel upon which it’s based. Tom Crick (Jeremy Irons...
Review: Gone Fishing (1997)
With Joe Pesci and Danny Glover as bait, Hollywood Pictures is trolling for dollars aboard a new comedy called ”Gone Fishin’ .” It’s a sinker. This is a film that misses the boat right from the start through an improper mixture ...
Review: The Scent of the Green Papaya (1993)
A film about Vietnam that’s not about the Vietnam war–in fact, not about Europeans at all–THE SCENT OF GREEN PAPAYA is precious, tranquil, and serenely beautiful. The film opens in Saigon in 1951. Pretty, clever Mui (Lu Man San), a 10...
Review: Angela (1995)
Anyone who has superstitiously tried to avoid stepping on cracks in the sidewalk can relate to the desperate little rituals improvised by the 10-year-old title character of Rebecca Miller’s hauntingly sad film, “Angela.” As the girl (...
Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991)
I saw “The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze” when I was, oh, say, eight years old, and I absolutely loved it. A lot more than the first one. And now as a somewhat older individual I am afraid to return to the film. I fear ...
Review: Stevie (2002)
” Stevie ” is a brave and painful film, the story of a man who goes looking for the youngster he met 10 years earlier through the Big Brother program. He finds that the news about him is not good, and will get worse. This is a story involvi...
Review: Girl in 313 (1940)
There is reason to take hope this morning, to find renewed faith and confidence in mankind——and, incidentally, in the artistry of the screen. For the film version of Thornton Wilder’s prize-winning play, “Our Town,” opened yesterd...
