Balzac

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > En français
starring: Gérard Depardieu, Jeanne Moreau, Fanny Ardant, Virna Lisi, Katja Riemann
directed by: Josée Dayan

November 07, 2000
When I first saw the movie I was hooked on the spot.The cast and the acting was good along with the sets and camerawork.Jeanne Moreau and Gerard Depardieu are a perfect match as mother and son in the film.But I wanted to see more of Jeanne Moreau in the film and want to see more highs and lows in the mother-son relationship.The scene which nearly made me cry was Moreau's character at the door asking for her son's forgiveness.Give Jeanne Moreau a good script and she will give you your money's work.

Rolling Stones Live at the Max >

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > En français
starring: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards (II), Ron Wood, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman
directed by: Noel Archambault, Roman Kroitor

September 19, 1995
Like everyone else with any musical taste I love the Stones, and have been following them since I was fifteen and was hooked by "Satisfaction". That said, there seems to always be a propensity by whoever does the mixing for Stones' movies/DVDs to screw up the sound (maybe the Glimmer Twins themselves?). For instance, I have a number of bootlegs from the 1972 tour (Mick Taylor, decadence, hooray!), most of which are brilliant, full-bodied and powerful, then you get "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones", and it is comparatively anemic (actually awful) - guitars too tinny, the bottom rumble eliminated, Jagger too loud, and instead of sounding powerful, it sounds fragmented not like a real band at all. "At the Max" ... Read More:

The Merry Widow

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > En français
starring: Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Edward Everett Horton, Una Merkel, George Barbier
directed by: Ernst Lubitsch

January 02, 1993
THE MERRY WIDOW is arguably Jeanette MacDonald's finest film, and is still regarded as one of the greatest musicals ever made by MGM.

The story concerns one widow, Sonia (Jeanette MacDonald), a beautiful young woman who owns 52% of the small kingdom of Marshovia. Sonia lives a life consisting of black dresses, black shoes, black corsets and black veils...even a black dog. Sonia decides to flee to the gay city of Paris, and swaps her dull attire for a new wardrobe, and a new outlook.

The King of Marshovia (Edward Everett Horton) and his flirtatious Queen (Una Merkel) decide to dispatch the handsome Count Danilo (Maurice Chevalier) to Paris in order to woo Sonia and her millions back into Marshovia...but Sonia has a few tricks ... Read More:

That Man From Rio (L' Homme de Rio)

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > En français
starring: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Françoise Dorléac, Jean Servais, Simone Renant, Roger Dumas (II)
directed by: Philippe de Broca

September 01, 1998
The first foreign language film I ever saw was "That Man From Rio" and it was a great way to start. I went because it had been billed as being in the style of Hitchcock's "North By Northwest". There are superficial similarities, but the French film is more than capable of being judged on its own merits - of which there are many. It certainly has its tongue farther in its cheek than Hitch ever managed.

A great deal of the film's success is due to the charisma and sheer star quality of Jean-Paul Belmondo, then in his prime and thoroughly enjoying himself. He seems to be constantly on the move - running, jumping, climbing, fighting - pausing only to deliver a droll line of dialogue or two or to share a kiss with the delectable Francois Dorleac (sister ...

without knowing beforehand,it isn't hard to figure out Aaron Sorkin is
the genius behind this movie.yes,Rob Reiner directed this
masterpiece.and yes it had an a-list cast in both leading and
supporting roles,all of whom were amazing.but it is the writing of
Sorkin that really makes this film what it is.the man is a pure genius
when it comes to great dialogue.wit,sarcasm,drama,romance,all conveyed
beautifully by his writing.everything works in this film.you might need
a hanky in the last act,as there is a real tear jerker of a scene that
has huge impact,and will leave quite an impression.Micheal Douglas is
brilliantly cast as the "American President.man,the guy has
presence.the speech he delivers could ... Read More:
