Review of Millennium Actress (2002)

By Lanning : (254) on 12 Jun 2006

Review of From Here to Eternity (1953)

Review of Stalag 17 (1953)

By Lanning : (254) on 27 May 2006

Although Holden won the best actor Oscar for his portrayal of the fast-and-loose Sefton, the weight of this movie, for me, pales in comparison…

Review of The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954)

By Lanning : (254) on 26 May 2006

Review of The Boys from Brazil (1978)

By Lanning : (254) on 22 May 2006

Review of Valmont (1989)

Review of The Day of the Jackal (1973)

By Lanning : (254) on 09 May 2006

Review of Sayonara (2015)

By Lanning : (254) on 09 May 2006

Review of Roxanne (1987)
