Pros: the acting, the story, just about everything really Cons: You'll have to work very hard to get your man to sit through this
The losing of a child is something that hasn't happened to me. I can only guess at the depths of anguish and grief that would fill me should one of my young daughters meet their end. As Sally Field noted in Steel Magnolias, "I'm supposed to go...
Pros: Two "best actresses" in same film (Winger & MacLaine), great satire on new age psychology Cons: Why do the good always have to die young?
Here I go again, reviewing a film that is somewhat dated, but I have recently been going through my video collection and realizing I have some awesome stuff that I think others will agree are some of the "Top Ten" (World According to Garp being...

Pros: Classy drama, good acting Cons: Um, Shirley MacLaine?

Pros: The best in writing, directing, acting, music Cons: that a better sequel was not made
Like a family reunion, this is a film to be embraced yearly. I take my hat off to the screenwriter. In my opinion, a screenplay is the single most important thing about a motion picture. The only thing I don't like about the screenplay for "Terms...
Pros: Great movie, full of emotions, great acting Cons: None that I can think of
Well, I was sitting at home channel surfing this weekend, and came across HBO running Terms of Endearment. A move I saw a long time ago, and liked, so I decided to watch it again, and am I glad I did.
