"Frankie and Johnny" has its roots in a stage play and as is usually the case when a play gets adapted into a movie it's a wordy affair, a movie which revolves around characters and a lot of dialogue. But at the same time "Fr...

The Prince of Tides (1991)

132 mins     Drama      

I've read plenty about Barbra Streisand, how some have found her hard to work with, how as an actress she could dominate a movie but I will say one thing, when she is on the money she is on the money. What I mean by that is "...

94 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

"Shattered Trust: The Shari Karney Story" is the sort of movie which leaves me torn as any movie which deals with the subject of child/sexual abuse let alone one based on a true story has an important story to tell. Yet the w...

A Mother's Prayer (1995)

The Cider House Rules (1999)

126 mins     Drama, Romance      

"The Cider House Rules" is a very pleasant film, which is full of sentiment and beautiful scenes, but is not over sickly sweet. From what I have read, this is an adaptation of the novel by John Irving, and like so many other ...

Swing Vote (1999)

90 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

It was an interesting experience watching made for TV movie "Swing Vote" because for once the only thing I knew about the movie was that it starred Andy Garcia. I hadn't bothered to find out what it was about, whether a drama...
