“A significant milestone in movie history and therefore should be watched as such. It's a reasonably well produced romantic action film, which carries you along (if you let it) to the corny and contrived ending. Remember also Valentino at this time in his life, was newly and madly in love with the l” read more

“The presentation is first class: the sets, props, costumes, location photography, and music are all of the caliber befitting the grandiose ambition of the production. I personally found the acting by the truly all-star cast to be uniformly excellent throughout with McDowall's Octavian and Harrison's” read more

“The film's script is heavy on dialogue. But because of the story's thematic depth, the issues are interesting and insightful, and the script never seems talky. At the heart of the story is the subject of mendacity, of lies and not telling the truth. There is considerable emotional pain, expressed as” read more

“Acting here is classic, fearless. Burton and Taylor have rarely been as good as they are at digging so deep into these characters that, especially with Burton, we can't imagine these people being anyone else. It takes a little to get used to Segal and Sandy Dennis (the latter because her character i” read more

“The wide angle shots of the Texas plains are gorgeous, and the star power overwhelms in this masterpiece of George Steven's distinguished career. The story slowly and methodically unravels the characters and shows their strengths and weaknesses. The performances are nothing short of magnificent. Hud” read more

“"East Of Eden" is billed as a modern-day story of "Cain and Abel," between good and bad brothers with one of them feeling rejected by his father. The small Biblical account of the two brothers only mentions an offering they both gave God and then saying the brother whose offering wasn't accepted wen” read more

“Brilliant cast of well-known Hollywood icons in hard-hitting treatment of story that focuses on the hopelessness exhibited by many middle-class teenagers who were too young to recall the pains of WWII, but saw daily reminders of the threat of "the bomb", as well as inequities around them.

“If you like anything to do with Frankenstein then this will only compliment your choice. It takes us into a more believable world where this idea to create life began, developed and took off making us recall the subject of its start-up in the cinemas. Sean Bean is perfectly cast and does a remarkabl” read more

“Definitely one of my favorite Caldecott winners! The illustrations are perfect and precious. It's all very cute-sy, but I love that. It's amazing how much a simple nursery rhyme can change since 1945, but it was great fun reading a previous version of many of them. My favorite would have to be:

“I feel as though children who celebrate Christmas are filled with visions of Santa. But, the story of Baboushka does not discuss elaborate gifts, rather meager gifts that are equally as precious. Furthermore, it shows children that it is okay to never give up hope. The book has religious undertones,” read more

“The artwork in this little book is so astonishingly lovely and vivid, I somehow ended up with two copies of this book. I'm not complaining; I will just share one copy. The text itself retells Spenser's The Faerie Queene, so that, with the artwork, makes this book pretty darn awesome for a Second Gra” read more

“This one was not one of my favorites. I honestly thought it was more goofy than anything. Was hoping for something with a bit more to it than this - and it was the most heavy handed Grimm tail that I've read so far” read more

“If you want to read the real stories that inspired the lion's share of Disney films, definitely read Mr. Andersen's collection of fairy tales. Do not expect happy endings however - leave those to Walt&Co. Instead imagine families trying to scare their kids into behaving in order to survive the many ” read more

“This was a good show in it's day. It was funny, a bit subversive (due to Tony's always getting the better of the authority figures that he had to report to), and imaginative. Any way you slice it, I Dream Of Jeannie is a fun, classic 60s sitcom.” read more

“Having just finished Alice in Wonderland, the first thing that occurs to me is that I wish I had read it years ago. I've known the story of Alice for years thanks to Disney, but for some reason I didn't get around to reading this as a child. While I expected to like it, I never realized what a joy t” read more

“The stories are simple fairy tales, but I found them very engaging and thought provoking.

There is a charm in the words of the author that is just irresistible.” read more

“The Wizard of Oz, to me, is a very good and courageous book. There are some violent parts, such as the Tin Man chopping off 40 wolf heads, but other than those parts this book is amazing. I especially like this book because it shows a strong girl who will stop at nothing to get home.” read more

“This brutal, violent and suspenseful thriller combines a scorching performance by Robert De Niro, sumptuous location photography, and a powerful script.” read more
