Marco Polo

Reviewed on Jul 02 2015

This is a Netflix-made film by 19 Producers & 6 Directors, that is one of the most excellent films I've ever seen. It's like a complete movie. The costumes are exquisite of the Mongolian and Chinese culture of the 12th Century, and it gives a more in-depth understanding of Marco Polo's eastern travels and his life and Kublai Khan, the Mongolian leader. The film has everything—great acting, great cinematography, great dialog (with often a lot of Oriental wisdom thrown in), beautiful sets, ...

Martian Child

Reviewed on Mar 11 2008

FAMILY FILM

John Cusack plays David, a published author who adopts a little boy who thinks he's from Mars. Of course, my definition of this little boy would be a starseed, with many past lives, who definitely is out there, but in a very lovable way. Even in the movie, David's friend (played by Amanda Peet) says that this little boy is an old soul. A good film for the whole family to enjoy and learn from. Also starring Joan Cusack.

Men of Honor

Reviewed on Mar 17 2008

I usually don't like to see Robert De Niro playing anything outside of a dramatic role. I don't think he should ever attempt comedy, even though I think he is a great actor.  I thought he was masterful in The Mission. (I wish he desired God in real life like he did in that movie; he would be here in Divine Administration helping us to produce our first film).  I also liked him in The Deer Hunter–a film  that took me back to my ...

Miracle at St. Anna

Reviewed on Apr 03 2009

Drama

Based on a true story of a World War II division of black infantry soldiers called the Buffalo Soldiers and their heroic efforts to save an Italian village from the Nazis. This movie easily could have won an Academy Award for best picture, but the politics of Hollywood won't yet acknowledge the talent of black director Spike Lee. The acting and direction was excellent with many interesting twists. Lots of action and educational dialog of the treatment of black people in the 1940s....

The Mists of Avalon

Reviewed on Apr 05 2008

(We recommend this mini-series be viewed by 18 and over because of sexual content and innuendoes.)

The Mists of Avalon, a four-hour miniseries which aired on TV July 15th and 16th and was based on the book by Marion Zimmer Bradley, was a mystical experience to the days of King Arthur and the old religion.  This particular version, brought in the very true elements of the Goddess and Gaia–Mother Earth.  I thought, however, that King Arthur and ...

Modigliani

Reviewed on Mar 14 2008

This film was written and directed by Mick Davis. Co-starring Andy Garcia, Elsa Zylberstein, Eva Herzigova. Andy Garcia brilliantly plays the passionate Italian/Jewish artist, Amedeo Modigliani, who was contemporary with Picasso. Andy Garcia's character, as most artists, suffers from non-recognition. To deal with this, he turns to alcohol and drugs, but his great passion for life makes him loved by all. According to the film, Picasso (in his arrogance and success) is competitive with ...

The Monuments Men

Reviewed on Aug 27 2014

In World War II a group of art enthusiasts, including a professor from the United States, join with Europeans and some men from other countries to try to get back precious valuable art stolen from museums, churches, and private owners by the Nazis. They all join the United States army to do so. This is a true story. Some of the art recovered were masterpieces from Rembrandt, Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo. Unfortunately the Germans, in their retreat, destroyed a lot of precious ...
