A ★★★★½ review of A Few Good Men (1992)
It's amazing how Rob Reiner could go from directing a rock-and-roll mockumentary to a fantasy-comedy adventure to a psychological horror to such a very compelling court case film. And all of them end ...

Name a legitimately good LIVE-ACTION talking animal movie, NOT COUNTING:
- The "Babe" films
- Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey
- The "Paddington" movies

Some children's picture books are so well-known and beloved that they've become a part of everyone's childhood.
But there are always those picture books that aren't widely known, yet are a big part of your own personal childhood. Like these were for me.

A ★★½ review of Ocean Waves (1993)
The pieces are there, but the low budget due to it being a TV movie, the poor editing choices, and the poorly-fleshed out, even toxic, relationship do bring it down to being a bit of a slog.

This time, for another major animation company that's just as great as Disney Animation, and thankfully, has way fewer films for me to get through.
This is definitely gonna be a good time...

Despite some noticeable pacing and storytelling issues, Ridley Scott's fantasy cult classic greatly makes up for it with Jerry Goldsmith's score, some good themes, and many gorgeous, atmospheric visuals.

Partially in memory of Val Kilmer and partially in preparation to hear the editor speak Wednesday night.
A bit complicated to follow at times, and dang, is it long. But the tense pacing and the powerful performances greatly make up for it.
