“The Pelican Brief” Movie Review
“The Pelican Brief” Plot Summary
A law student uncovers a conspiracy, putting herself and others in danger. add synopsis
Most enjoyable thriller
Another complex legal thriller from author John Grisham (‘The Firm’) is brought professionally to the screen by director Alan J. Pakula (‘Presumed Innocent’).As in the Sydney Pollack film ‘The Firm’, ‘The Pelican Brief’ requires concentration and attention to detail as it relates the story of New Orleans law student Darby Shaw (Julia Roberts), whose theoretic paper, which outlines what she believes to be the reasons behind the brutal assassinations of two Supreme Court judges, lands her in hot water when it passes into the wrong hands. Her brief, it would seem, is much too close to the truth for comfort. So begins a frenetic chase as Darby runs for her life whilst she searches for someone in whom to place her trust. She finds that confidant in Washington Herald reporter Gray Grantham (Denzel Washington), whose determined yet ethical pursuit of the truth is both admirable and effective
Grisham’s involved novel (which probably loses much specific detail in crossing to the big screen) gives the movie a plot that is fascinating enough to carry proceedings alone, however Pakula’s effective direction and his choice of two popular stars does no harm to the cause. Both Roberts and Washington are in good form and give strong performances, as do the impressive supporting cast
A most enjoyable, and occasionally tense, thriller whose beginning and finale are both far outdone by the fast middle
Sunday, March 27, 1994 – Village Doncaster

“Terms of Endearment” Movie Review
“Terms of Endearment” Plot Summary
Aurora and Emma are mother and daughter who march to different drummers. Beginning with Emma’s marriage… add synopsis
One of the best films of the 80’s!
I never watch soaps, am not one for chick flicks, and generally steer clear of weepies. I was only drawn to this by the eclectic cast, and a vague recollection of acclaim.’Terms of Endearment’ is a stunningly well-made film. Pretty much every scene is conceived, scripted and acted to perfection. Winger, MacLaine and Nicholson make these relationships pure gold. So much of the interaction feels natural, even improvised. A twist toward the end reveals a compelling new layer for each and every character
It’s largely forgotten these days, but in my opinion stands as one of the very best films of the 80’s. Cherish it.

“Shrek” Movie Review
“Shrek” Plot Summary
An ogre, in order to regain his swamp, travels along with an annoying donkey in order to bring a princess to a scheming lord, wishing himself King. add synopsis
Wonderfully irreverent family film with lots of laughs
The filmmakers obviously have some irreverence regarding Disney, and it’s about time I say. Especially with the rather un-Disneylike behavior the studio has engaged in for the past dozen or so years. The anti Disney jokes are so much fun (our favorite is the ’small world’ parody!). I have to wonder what DULOC means! I have listened to the commentary on the DVD, done Google searches, looked through the trivia on IMDb, all to no avail. I wonder what the big secret is. Anyway, this is a family favorite of ours. The jokes may go over the heads of small children, but they will still enjoy the animation. The music is fantastic. My teenager even bought the soundtrack to it.

“Cliffhanger” Movie Review
“Cliffhanger” Plot Summary
A botched mid-air heist results in suitcases full of cash being searched for by various groups throughout the Rocky Mountains.
one of Stallone’s best and a great movie.
There are those who hate Sylvester Stallone no matter what he does and/or says. While I have many movies that he has done that are awful, CLIFFHANGER is and an aptly film that is terrific from start to finish. Stallone gives a cautiously measured performance as a rescue climber who seems to have lost his edge after a horrifying accident. When a Federal Treasury plane crash lands in the mountians with a band of ruthless murderers and thieves on board, it is up to the rescuers to do what they do best. They find out about the plane’s cargo and it’s passengers only too late. Renny Harlin directs CLIFFHANGER with style and energy to burn. Stallone, Michael Rooker, and Janine Turner are the rescuers and John Lithgow leads his band of criminals through the mountians looking for three suitcases filled with untraceable cash. CLIFFHANGER has some incredible scenery and camera work and it’s script is literate and intelligent
I do have one curious question? Was it really necessary to have Lithgow speak with an British accent? Never to quibble over technicalities, CLIFFHANGER is a solid action picture; fun, exciting, and well worth 2 hours of you time. CLIFFHANGER-***1/2 out 4.
