"A Lot Like Love" Is Light Enough to Fly Away and Never Be Missed By : Ed Bagley "A Lot Like Love" chronicles the indecision of two young adults who are misguided and muddled in both their careers and love life. They haul off and do nothing with themselves and then wonder why they are not happy. No wonder they are confused about love. They deserve each other. See this film once and move on. "Breakfast on Pluto" Is Really Not About an Alien from Outer Space By : Ed Bagley "Breakfast on Pluto" is a gender preference movie about a boy who really wants to be a girl, and settles for being a transvestite trying to find a place in a world that curses his very existence. I endured Boys Don't Cry and Transamerica and am pleased to say I did not have to endure Breakfast on Pluto. I think that Neil Jordan is the reason why. This film is worth viewing for its message: to thine ownself be true. "Camelot" Is a Magical Movie, and a Primer in Civilized Human Relationships and Growth By : Ed Bagley Camelot, released in 1967, celebrates its 40th anniversary this October, and was based on the 1960 musical play Camelot written by Alan Jay Lerner with music by Frederic Loewe.

"Chocolat" Is Moviemaking at Its Best: A Sweet Story With an Important Message By : Ed Bagley It is rare when you can say that a movie is so warm and wonderful that it can even overcome a manipulative, vindictive authority figure and a husband guilty of spousal abuse, but "Chocolat" manages to do so with some great acting, writing and directing. Chocolat is everything that is right about moviemaking—don't walk, run to this film and warm your heart with a wonderful viewing experience you will remember. "Coach Carter" Sends an Outstanding Message About a Coach with Integrity, Honor and Goodness By : Ed Bagley Samuel L. Jackson plays Coach Ken Carter in a good sports drama with an outstanding message for today's high school basketball players who see playing with the pros as their only objective in life. Carter believes that a basketball scholarship and ethics should go hand in hand. This is an incredible story of a coach who will not compromise his values by not compromising his integrity. "For a Few Dollars More" Establishes Leone as a Master of Creating Emotion By : Ed Bagley After the unexpected, smashing success of Sergio Leone's direction in "A Fistful of Dollars" with the newly-found presence of Clint Eastwood as the gunfighter who would become The Man With No Name, Leone 's direction in "For a Few Dollars More" was even more successful, artistically and financially. Learn why a film that could not garner a single award in its day has become a classic western film with a faithful following. "Kingdom of Heaven" Sought to Be an Epic Film, But Became a Disaster in Production By : Ed Bagley Unfortunately for "Kingdom of Heaven", what started out as an ambitious epic film about a little known time in history, became an almost disaster at its release and was only average at best. There is probably enough blame to spread around. Find out the nine reasons why Kingdom of Heaven could not cut the mustard as a good film. "Lost in Translation" Makes the Meaning of Life Sound Elusive By : Ed Bagley "Lost in Translation" was written and directed by Sofia Coppola and won enough awards to fill a grocery cart. Seeing this film, I would not have guessed it would have won so many awards. I gave this film an average rating rather than a good or excellent rating. I wanted real substance in this film and I was left wanting. Learn why in my review. "Nanny McPhee" - An Excellent Movie with Magic and a Message for Children By : Ed Bagley In an entertainment world full of trashy and violent video games and movies, Nanny McPhee is everything good about movies for children. You and your children can watch this film without fear of unpleasant and unwanted garbage rooted in sensationalism for ratings and greed. Nanny McPhee is an excellent film with a wonderful message for all children to recognize and understand. "Prada" Boss Drives Away Everyone and Everything But Blind Ambition By : Ed Bagley Meryl Streep, one of Hollywood's best actresses, carries The Devil Wears Prada like the namesake handbag we see early in this movie, which is about Miranda Priestly, a powerful New York fashion magazine editor who hires Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), a recent journalism grad, to be her new gofer. In the end, she ditches the job when she realizes that life without her boyfriend, her friends and family are not worth the price of being exclusive. "Radio" Is One of the Most Under-Rated and Under-Appreciated Films in Movie History By : Ed Bagley "Radio"—the true story of high school football coach Harold Jones and a mentally-challenged young man named James Robert "Radio" Kennedy—might well be one of the most under-rated and under-appreciated movies in film history. Find out why this movie will tug at your heartstrings, and settle your soul. "The Departed" Is Best Mob Film Since Mario Puzo's "The Godfather" in 1972 By : Ed Bagley Let me get to the most important thing first: Director Martin Scorsese won an Oscar for "The Departed". Scorsese, one of the most accomplished directors of our era, has been nominated for 7 Oscars—5 for Best Director and 2 for Best Screenplay—before winning with The Departed. The Departed is simply the best mob film since Mario Puzo's original Godfather in 1972. "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" Ends Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Western Trilogy By : From virtually no acclaim at the time, Sergio Leone's "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" is now regarded as a classic by many critics. It was part of Time's "100 Greatest Movies" of the last century. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is currently ranked no less than 5th among the Internet Movie Database Top 250, all of which is not too shabby for an Italian guy directing an American Western. "The Quiet Man" Is a Love Story Set in the Emerald Isle of Ireland By : Ed Bagley No one ever said that filmmaking was easy, only that it could be very good and sometimes enduring, as in "The Quiet Man", starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara with legendary Director John Ford. The Quiet Man was the first American feature to be filmed in Ireland's picturesque countryside. Ford earned his 4th and last Best Director Oscar for The Quiet Man in 1952. See the film and understand why this love story will touch your heart. "Tipping the Velvet" Is First Alternative Lifestyle Film with an Educational Message - Part 1 By : Ed Bagley "Tipping the Velvet" is what some viewers would consider a terrible film about a sinful, raunchy lifestyle, and what I would consider an excellent film despite any apparent raunchiness. The BBC brought this controversial movie to a 5-millon strong mainstream television audience in England. Tipping the Velvet is an incredibly unusual firm because you rarely, if ever, see an alternative lifestyle movie with a happy ending. "Tipping the Velvet" Is First Alternative Lifestyle Film with an Educational Message - Part 2 By : Ed Bagley Based on Sarah Waters' acclaimed debut novel, Tipping the Velvet was adapted by Andrew Davies, an Emmy award-winning British screenwriter who has also written "Doctor Zhivago", "Bridget Jone's Diary", "Sense and Sensibility", "Vanity Fair" and "Pride and Prejudice". Davies is a very talented heavyweight. "To Kill a Mockingbird" Exposes the Destructiveness of Bigotry By : Ed Bagley Gregory Peck won a Best Actor Oscar in this adaptation of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about white lawyer Atticus Finch defending an innocent African American man accused of raping a white woman. This is a story that illuminates everything that is wrong about hate, prejudice, bigotry, ignorance, stupidity, lack of backbone and lack of a heart. "Transamerica" Transsexual Tale Misses Opportunity to Inform and Educate Viewers By : Ed Bagley There are easier films to review than productions involving alternative life styles, and Transamerica is an example. It is one thing to make a comedy or romantic comedy with no other purpose than to entertain viewers, it is quite another to tackle a difficult, controversial subject without assuming some responsibility for making its presentation a positive, productive impact upon viewers. To do less is entertaining but useless. "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out, Kid!"

Both of these films have a very limited audience because they are more negative than positive and have few redeeming qualities. A Brief History of Anime By : John Dee With the different animation techniques that was practiced and employed in France, USA, Russia, and Germany, Japanese filmmakers decided to experiment with the techniques at the start of the 20th century; thus began the history of anime.

A Jewish Family Flees Germany and Settles By : Ed Bagley Only Walter could see it coming. His extended family in Germany could not see that Adolph Hitler would turn on his own German citizens who were Jewish. Walter was a professional, a judge and a German citizen, not a Jew who happened to be a German citizen. He would leave Germany and take his family to Africa in 1938. "Nowhere in Africa" is his story.

You won’t have to leave the comforts of your home to enjoy a good movie. A Romantic Comedy That Works With a Couple of 60+ Senior Citizens By : Ed Bagley Something's Gotta Give is a romantic comedy without substance that works because of Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. Keaton is one the few actresses at age 60 who has been able to partner with bankable leading men.

Bollywood is a Force to be Reckoned With By : Parminder5 Parminder5 When you hear the term bollywood what do you think of? The not so illustrious past of this particular film industry has been looked upon in many different ways depending on who you asked. For many Americans it was filled with too much of the Hindu culture to be enjoyable while for other countries it was something that was “different”, but not something that anyone thought would grow as big as it has today. What was for years looked upon and talked about with a condescending attitude has been transformed into something to be feared in the world wide film industry. Bollywood Movies and Music By : humsohail Music is the main essence in all bollywood movies. The inclusion of song and dance sequences forms an integral part of every movie.

Audrey Hepburn was a model of grace and humility.
