Thank you for your attention

Answer:

Dear Movie Fan,

The Movie American Scandal that stars Sam Neill, Carmen Ejogo and Diahann Carroll is a story of the extraordinary, controversial relationship between Thomas Jefferson and his slave mistress, Sally Hemings. Sally begins her unexpected relationship with Thomas Jefferson in Paris where he is serving as the U.S. Ambassador to France. After escorting Jefferson’s younger daughter on a trans-Atlantic journey to join him in Paris, Sally is soon exposed to a world quite unlike the one in which she has lived as an slave in Monticello. While Sally serves as a nanny, Jefferson provides her with an education, nice clothing and opportunities to experience cultural events. Her brother, James, who works as Jefferson’s chef and was also educated by him, delight in the fact that they are free in France-and are treated with respect. It is under these circumstances that Sally and Jefferson become acquainted with one another and begin an affair that will ultimately lead to scandal.

Question:

Looking for an older comedy called “Big Man On Campus”

Answer:

Dear Movie Fan,

The movie you are searching for “Big Man on Campus” directed by Jeremy Kagan, starring Allan Katz, Corey Parker & Tom Skerritt is a light comedy is a contemporary—and wacky—version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. In this version, a malformed young man hangs out in the bell tower of a California college campus and has to face a number of prejudices when he is brought out into the light.

It is a hard to find title. Most copies that are out there have been transferred from VHS to DVD.

Because the title is not as popular to the mainstream it is likely that it will not be released on DVD by the film company anytime soon.

However, we have done some checking and we found some sources that you may want to check out below.

There’s no other way to say it. I loved this Movie! If you don’t like singing and dancing or musicals in general, maybe you won’t agree. But seriously you might want to give this one a chance, it’s an excellent production. I have never seen the stage version so I have nothing to compare it to, but the music and choreography in the movie are superb. The story takes place in (obviously) Chicago during the roaring twenties in the times of flapper dresses and Tommy guns. The story is about a woman named Roxy (Renee Zellweger) who is living a boring uneventful life and married to a ploddingly simple and easily manipulated husband. Her dream is to be a singing and dancing stage star but the path she takes to get there is through the murder of her lover. She is jailed and if she is found guilty will be hanged for her crime. Also in jail with her is another murderess played by Catherine Zeta-Jones. Their lawyer is a slick talking carnival showman played by Richard Gere. The movie is a very cynical look at tabloid sensationalism and the effects of publicity on the legal system. All three main characters do their own singing and dancing and they all do a very good job. Also unforgettable in her role as the prison matron is Queen Latifah, who despite the all star cast, steals every scene that she is in. I highly recommend this movie as it is slick and entertaining. You’ll definitely want this for your video library, don’t just rent it, trust me you’ll want to see this one again and again.

While I think that everyone would agree that this is an excellent movie, I think we can also agree that it is not an easy, sit back and relax type of movie. It is extremely intense beginning about three minutes into the movie when you follow Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) and his men who are landing on Omaha Beach. Steven Spielberg pulled no punches when filming this scene and any thoughts you may have about the nobility of war are quickly dispelled. What you see is a scene of horror filled with young terrified men, who know they may well be facing their last minutes of life. They’re not thinking about winning, or the honor of their country, or taking out the enemy, their thinking about how they will survive. The Omaha Beach scene, which is very long, is stressful to watch and its realism leaves you shaken. But as there is no rest for the weary so this is true for Miller, his men and us, the watchers. They are assigned a special mission to find and save Private Ryan, the last remaining son of four brothers sent overseas. Captain Miller and his men question the logic and sanity of risking the lives of so many men to save the life of one. If you have not seen this movie, I will not give away the ending which is, like the rest of the movie a little too realistic for comfort. Sorry, no fairy tale endings here. No matter how disturbing this movie is, it is well worth the emotional effort it requires to watch it, as it is a superbly told story, with amazing effects and top quality performances by Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns and the rest of the cast. I highly recommend this as a must see movie.

If you’re looking for an epic science fiction movie, this will definitely not fit the bill. However, Zathura is a genuinely enjoyable movie with an interesting plot. It’s a good family film (don’t know the official rating) as there is no sex, no swearing, no blood and is not too scary for kids. It’s a true SciFi and adventure movie about two brothers, who take a fantastic and unexpected journey when playing a board game called Zathura. If you’re thinking that this is the same as Jumangi, it’s really not. I actually enjoyed this movie much more, the only similarities between the two is that both adventures are centered on a discovered board game. Zathura takes our two quarrelling brothers and their house into space. As they play through the game, trying to get back home, they meet a hero astronaut and carnivorous monsters that want to eat them for dinner. As they draw each card in the game, whatever the card says comes to pass and they must deal with the results. The adventure itself, although somewhat simplistic, is fun and imaginative. The story about the brother’s difficult relationship with each other and how they learn to trust and appreciate one another is the true point of the movie, as you will see in the surprise revelation in the last few scenes. There are also some very funny moments dealing with the two brothers older sister who is in the house during this adventure, but is unfortunately frozen solid through about the first two thirds of the movie. I did not expect the surprise revelation and I always appreciate being surprised when watching a movie. Maybe you’ll see what’s coming before I did. Either way, curl up with the family, grab the popcorn and enjoy Zathura, I did.
