One of the best movies ever: The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is the tragic story of Bruno, an innocent, inquisitive eight-year-old, and the son of a Nazi officer. When his father is promoted and transferred to direct the operations at a concentration camp, young Bruno is forced to leave his friends and relative freedom behind. Enclosed behind the wall that surrounds his new house and grounds, Bruno sneaks off for an adventure in the woods and to check out the not-too-distant "farm" he has seen from his window. When he meets Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), a young Jewish boy his own age behind the farm's fence, the wheels are set in motion for the movie's heart-wrenching conclusion.

Holly Hunter, Wikimedia Commons A Poor Decision on the Part of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Resulted in Only Two Review Episodes Being Offered of Season Two of "Saving Grace" Holly Hunter is a fine actress, so when I was offered the opportunity to review "Saving Grace" - Season Two on DVD, I jumped at the chance. However, in an effort to save money, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment decided to only issue reviewers the last two episodes of "Saving Grace" - Season Two not the entire season on DVD. Really. That fact was mentioned in the promotional email, but it was hidden between the lines of hype. Imagine if you will, being dropped into the second season of a show, not at the beginning of the season, but at the end. It is hard enough to come into a series at the BEGINNING of the 2nd season. Being dropped into "Saving Grace" - Season Two at the end for purposes of reviewing it makes no sense. Two episodes didn...

Another good movie and a questionable DVD from 2009! This time I take a look at Isla Fisher's movie Confessions of a Shopaholic' and Holly Hunter's former series Saving Grace ." Both had strong casts. "Confessions" featured Isla Fisher, John Goodman, and Joan Cusack among other big names and "Grace" starred Holly Hunter and Laura San Giacomo. However, both fell flat, especially "Saving Grace"... or did it? Due to an extremely poor marketing decision on the part of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, I will probably never know for sure. Here's my take: 'Saving Grace' with Holly Hunter and Laura San Giacomo -- Season Two on Dvd 3/2/2014 I love Holly Hunter, so I was filled with eager anticipation when I was offered the opportunity to review “Saving Grace” - Season Two. I needn't have bothered. Confessions of a Shopaholic' with Isla Fisher, John Goodman, Joan Cusack--D...

Zac Efron photo from Wikipedia/Eva Renaldi 'The Lucky One' with Zac Efron, Taylor Schilling & Blythe Danner on DVD - Movie Review "The Lucky One" starring Zac Efron ( "High School Musical "), newcomer Taylor Schilling and Blythe Danner (all the Focker films, grandmother of Gwyneth Paltrow ) is a 2012 romantic drama movie that releases on DVD on August 28. I had not heard of the movie nor the book upon which it is based, and the film had already been on for 20 minutes when I caught it at a friend's house. Within 10 minutes, I asked if the movie was based on a Nicholas Sparks book. This is not your High School Musical Zac Efron!
