1.Sarah Plain And Tall starring: Glenn Close, Christopher Walken, Lexi Randall, Malgorzata Zajaczkowska, Jon DeVries directed by: Glenn Jordan March 21, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.35
First off, let me clarify in my personal response that I've never been a fan of the historical fiction genre. Historical fiction books bore me, and they never seem to contain the excitement found in contemporary fiction. Sarah, Plain and Tall, while more character-centric than most historical fiction books, still just didn't catch my interest. I was just glad that unlike many historical fiction books, this one actually didn't shove random historical facts down the readers' throats in massive clumps--the historical details were there, but very subtle. Still, the plot was too plain, with not enough branches and wacky plot twists. Everything was hopelessly predictable, and I know children's authors can do much better than that. That being said, I'd still like to read the sequels (never can ... Read More

3.Sarah Plain & Tall Trilogy (3pc) starring: Glenn Close, Christopher Walken, Lexi Randall, Malgorzata Zajaczkowska, Jon DeVries directed by: Glenn Jordan, Joseph Sargent November 30, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $30.96
If you are looking for a wholesome film that is well acted with a storyline that is original and captivating, this is the film for you and your family. Set in historic America, it admirably portrays the upright pioneering values of God-fearing, hard-working American immigrants. The complex three dimensionality of the characters creates a chemistry rarely seen in good story-telling movies. Don't miss this one, the kids and you will love it.

Great Movie - Set in post WW2 New York but highly relevant to todays age of complex relationships - deals with the classic problem of multiple relationships and provides deep psychological insights we can all relate to.

7.Bullets Over Broadway starring: John Cusack, Dianne Wiest, Jennifer Tilly, Chazz Palminteri, Mary-Louise Parker directed by: Woody Allen
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.97
This is one of the finest of Woody Allen's films melding past and present expressions of humor and visual scenes with so many outstanding actors performing at their peak. This is a clever, clever film with passion for all sorts of comedy- wit, satire, parody, double-entendre, everthing but a pie fight and that would have probably fit in as a "duel" between Cusack and Reiner over his wife but the verbal bohemian musings played just fine and I lack the audacity to second guess this beautiful work. Only Rob Reiner seemed at all familiar in his performance with too many Michael (Meathead) Stivic riffs but even in this case it was as the role was written. Enough has been written about John Cusack's almost other-wordly channeling of Mr Allen and this admirer whole-heartedly agrees with all of the praise granted. I am ... Read More
