Director Lasse Hallstrom has become Miramaxs Golden Boy of the moment: his 1999 picture, "Cider House Rules" won 2 Academy Awards, and his 2000 "Chocolat" grabbed a handful of nominations as well. Its a simple fable about a nomad (Juliette Binoche) who settles in an ultraconservative French town and..

Don Juan DeMarco |
You might not get a thrill from the sight of Faye Dunaway and Marlon Brando throwing popcorn into each others mouths, but that didnt stop this movie from gaining a new lease on life thanks to cable television and home video. Its a quirky romantic comedy about a mental patient (Johnny Depp) who claims to be Don Juan, the worlds greatest lover, and he gets quite a few women to believe its true. Brando plays the psychiatrist who tries to analyze his patients apparent delusion, and Dunaway plays Brandos wife, who wants to inject some Don Juan-ish romance into their marital routine. Walking a fine line between precious comedy, wistful drama, and delicate fantasy, the movie gets a big dose of charm from its esteemed cast, with Depp delivering dialogue that would have sounded ludicrous from a les.. |

Johnny Depp is bee-yoo-tee-ful. As the self-styled Don Juan DeMarco, one glance from those deep brown eyes can turn you into melted butter while youre sitting on your sofa. But Marlon Brando and Faye Dunaway (as the middle-aged Dr. and Mrs. Mickler) are beautiful too. "Don Juan" and the good doct..

Despite the several warnings in reviews here about confusing the book with the HBO series, its easy to confuse the two. After all, the typeface and star of the series is featured on the books cover. Be aware, though, that the book is nothing like the series. The tone, like Bushnells other fiction, i..

989 Sports has certainly brought their game to the table with their latest effort, "MLB 2005."
The graphics are top notch and the details (use of color, definition, etc) make this one of the best baseball games available. Where the 2004 version seemed more like a PS1 game, the 2005 version defini..

The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Widescreen Edition) |
As the triumphant start of a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves you begging for more. By necessity, Peter Jacksons ambitious epic compresses J.R.R. Tolkiens classic The Lord of the Rings, but this robust adaptation maintains reverent allegiance to Tolkiens creation, instantly qualifying as one of the greatest fantasy films ever made. At 178 minutes, its long enough to establish the myriad inhabitants of Middle-earth, the legendary Rings of Power, and the fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and humans--led by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and the brave hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood)--who must battle terrifying forces of evil on their perilous journey to destroy the One Ring in the land of Mordor. Superbly paced, the film is both epi.. |
