Review of Message in a Bottle (1999)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

Next to this, the films of 'The Horse Whisperer' and 'The English Patient' could almost be mistaken for entries in the 'Die Hard' series…

Review of The Little Mermaid (1989)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

Its best moments are certainly as delightful as anything the Mouse Factory has ever produced…

Review of Where the Heart Is (2000)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

Were it not for the presence of Portman and Judd, 'Heart' could easily have turned into a pilot for a lame TV series. Call it 'Wal-Mart Mama…

Review of Slums of Beverly Hills (1998)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

Reminiscent of 'Mermaids,' Jenkins' semi-autobiographical screenplay is a haunting reminder of what it feels like to be the kind of unfortunate…

Review of Stuart Little (1999)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

This may not be the Stuart many of us remember from our own childhoods, but it's likely to win over contemporary kids -- and a lot of their…

Review of How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998)

By James Sanford (927) for rec.arts.movies.reviews (2,454) on 01 Jan 2000

Stella comes straight from the 'designer problems' school of screenwriting, a genre in which stories are built around wealthy, gorgeous people…

Review of In & Out (1997)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

Like a senior citizen with a nose-ring, 'In & Out' wears its hipness rather uncomfortably…

Review of The Theory of Flight (1999)

By James Sanford (927) for James Sanford on Film (34) on 01 Jan 2000

Kenneth Branagh and Helena Bonham Carter generate enough good will to keep aloft a charming bit of whimsy that probably would crash and burn…

Review of U-571 (2000)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

An unpretentious, no-nonsense suspense film…

Review of Rules of engagement (2014)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of In Dreams (1999)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

Bening and Downey, perhaps forgetting they're in one of those new-fangled 'talkies,' recklessly indulge in the kinds of outrageous facial expressions…

Review of The Parent Trap (1998)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

A perfectly pleasant experience, thanks largely to newcomer Lindsay Lohan, who capably assumes a dual role as American-raised Hallie Parker…

Review of The Muse (1999)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

The movie's big accomplishment turns out to be giving Stone an opportunity to display her previously unseen lighter side, a challenge the actress…

Review of Reindeer Games (2000)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

The denouement involves more double-crosses, false identities and dirty secrets than you'd find in an entire library of Raymond Chandler novels,…

Review of Girls' Night (1998)

Review of The Out-of-Towners (1970)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of Road Trip (2000)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 01 Jan 2000
