A lovely film. And a tearjerker. This had been on my film list for a while so when a friend lent it to me I jumped at the chance. As a child I loved the books of C.S. Lewis and was devestated to see he had such a sad life going through so much pain with the woman he loved. It's a touching and heartwarming film that will really make you think about your partner and how much you care about them.

This film is a classic and viscerally honest portrayal of human conflict and personal growth. It clearly depicts working class young adults who sought to break away from past barriers and limitations and build better lives for themselves. It is a coming of age story, where a full spectrum of feelings are explored as young adults learn about fulfilling their potential, building value systems and attempting to fulfill personal desires with honesty and integrity on many levels. Two hot young stars were cast in the leading roles: Richard Gere who was riding high on his recent success in "American Gigolo" and Debra Winger who shined in her role in "Urban Cowboy". With stars of this caliber, it surprised me to learn (in the Special Features section) that doubts ... Read More:

This film was made AFTER Private Benjamin. Military drill sergeants shouting ino the faces of cadets wasn't something made up by this movie, as good as it is.

This movie is not a bad movie. It has good performances, especially from Jack Nicholson, and a good story line. But this is one of the most over-rated movies I have ever seen.
The direction is similar to that of a TV movie, very basic and plain, and is what one would expect of any run-of-the-mill director for a major film.
The main problem I have with the movie though is that it does nothing for me- it's not particularly interesting, funny, thoughtful, or novel. The majorty of the film is a series of snapshots of a mother-daughter relationship through time, not at any point doing more than documenting "where they're at", whilst the final third of the film is a melodramatic twist that contiues in the same vein as the first part of the film, rather than attempting ...

DVD : Sometimes In April

Sometimes In April


starring: Idris Elba, Noah Emmerich, Debra Winger
directed by: Raoul Peck
April 03, 2006


Sometimes in April is the real deal. It is ferocious in it's criticism of both Belgian colonialism and UN involvement in the genocide, in a way no other film has had the balls to do. It starts at the beginning of the route of the genocide, unafraid to lay blame where blame belongs - at the feet of the West who cowardly turned their backs on the 1994 consequences of their historical mess-ups. The main character is a Rwandan - none of this White Boy Saves Africa syndrome - and he honestly and convincingly portrays a human story as opposed to a sensational 'what kind of people would do that' narration that comes across in other films about the genocide. Peck is also deliberate in the scenes he choses to shoot - the lack of violence leaves the audience to consider the facts, as ... Read More:

This film is jam packed with acting talent, Hank Azaria is quite poignant as the former child star who wonders what happened to his promising career and Debra Winger is hilarious as the loquacious head of a silent family. To be honest I can't remember the last time I saw a film in which all the actors pulled their own weight as they do here.

I did see the twist coming very early on, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of watching the interplay between the family members. I don't want to say too much about the funny bits as they're funny because they're unexpected, but when the brother (Ray Romano) questions his sister's girlfriend about their sex life I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

The DVD doesn't have much in the way of special features, ... Read More:

Steve Martin is someone I find is a bit hit or miss, usually more miss (e.g. Pink Panther). Yet, ever since I saw him years ago in an unexpectedly funny/good film; "The Man With Two Brains", a 4 star movie, he's someone I've wanted to find funny more than he actually is. (Can't explain why, must be some sort of psychological 'imprinting' going on!)

Anyhow, in this flick, Steve Martin departs from his typical 'idiot' roles. And he delves into the darker side of his character in a clever and very adept way and delivers a strong and very worthy performance as a quick talking, street smart hustler who sees religion as a nifty business to scam and get-rich-quick from. As he says; "if God exists, why did he make so many suckers?"

He plays 'Jonas Nightengale' ... Read More:

A simple film about humanity, humaneness, just plain life and what it should be. The question here is about the place of a mentally disabled person in our society. Is he supposed to be pushed on the side and kept there in the margin or is he supposed to be helped to find a place inside where he could be useful to himself, to others, and happy too? I guess when stated like that the challenge would be accepted by anyone. Asking the question is answering it, as the saying has it. But if we move to the South in the early integration days and if the mentally disabled person is black, what can we do? And asking that second question reveals what it is all about then? Not about the retard as some are going to call him, but about the racial difference. And that is what the film shows with ... Read More:
