Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)

Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)

Like the Southern home cooking featured so prominently in the film, Fried Green Tomatoes sticks to your ribs. Its characters take up residence in your mind and stay with you for years to come. Now, with the release of the Extended Anniversary Edition, there’s no better time to revisit...

Arizona Dream (1993)

Arizona Dream (1993)

The first time I saw Arizona Dream, I was smitten.  I had been waiting to see the movie for three years by the time I stumbled into the video, and when I finally watched it, it just took my breath away.  It was inventive and original, funny and touching,...

The 4th Floor

The 4th Floor (1999)

The Last Castle (2001)

The Last Castle (2001)

Tagline: No castle can have two kings. I’m thinking that there aren’t that many movies out there that are predictable from the onset that are as enjoyable as this one. Even though the complete plot is given to you within the first few moments, you still enjoy the journey...
