Rocketman

Walt Disney Pictures brings a great family movie with comedian Harland Williams playing the part of a disaster pron computer analyst and astronaut wanna be.

It is a no brainer movie to just sit back and relax to in your easy chair. The plot is good, a little predictable and, though a little dorky, will give you a few good laughs and a smile. There is even a little, warm, sweet romance.

Rising Son

This movie is long! It's a lot of yackity yak and chit chat. If you want a movie with a lot of action and explosians or effects this is not the movie for you. If you want a cerebral movie that you might relate to and need a good cry this is the movie for you!

Brian Dennehy, Piper Laurie and Matt Damon fill out good roles in an interesting plot that shows family situations in an era where car manufacturers went from employees to machines for production work.

Employment issues, survival and relationships are throuwn into turmoil in which reckoning creates awakening.

Escape from Sobibor

Tragic and riveting. I have yet to see a movie this graphic with violence that can capture the attention as this one did!

Escape from Sobibor is the true story about one of three death camps that the Germans had in Poland in WW2, Sobibor. Rutger Haur and Alan Arkin are two captives from two different countries ... Russia and Poland.

I'm not a big fan of this kind of violence that depicts one people's hatred of another, but I found this movie to depict some of the "qualities" of man and how some adapted as well as their escape. It is an impressive film for these reasons.

North

The movie's box says it all. "Rob Reiner, Bruce Willis and Elijah Wood deliver a feel good ... comedy." "A family comedy that appeals to the child in everyone." I couldn't have said it better!

While being a little corny this movie is the kind of film that you can pop into the v.c.r. and play for the whole family.

Other actors include Jon Lovitz, Jason Alexander, Julie Louise- Dreyfuss, Dan Akroyd, Kathy Bates, Faith Fordd, Reba McIntire and John Ritter.

11 year old North (Elijah Wood) decides to go on a quest to find the perfect parents. His journey leads him through many different choices and combinations ending in ... well, you'll have to see for yourself!

Rated PG.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider

You may call me a chauvanist, if you like. :D This movie starring Angelina Jolie is a total "man's movie." If you ever choose movies by that standard or it being a "chick flick" this is definitly not the later!

I do enjoy a good, thought provoking movie from time to time. Especially if it seems to deal with scientic principle. Yet, there is nothing quite as enjoyable as a good, action movie!

Stand back Indiana Jones! Lara Croft has the ticket on adventure now!

Jon Voight plays the part of Lara's father in this PG-13 movie.

House of D

House of D starring Anton Yelchin, Tea Leoni, David Duchovny and Robin Williams is a good film about relationships and going back. It is produced by David Duchovny.

I thought that the movie was a bit wordy, long, but worth the waiting for in the end. I don't know any thing about Yelchin as an actor though I can say that Leoni, Duchovny and Williams carried off this movie very well. Their interaction was what tied the plot together. Any other combination would've failed in my opinion. Robin William's incredibly cerebral portrayal of Pappass, a developmentally disabled individual, was more than fantastic showing William's incredible range of acting ability!

This movie is rated PG-13.
