Summary: Classic Disney Live-Action Fair
Review: A refreshing entree from Disney and in Widescreen Anamorphic format too. It just shows Disney CAN release a DVD properly. Too bad we the consumer are at the the mercy of a multibillion dollar company that can't seem to make up its mind as to release DVD's as trash or treasure regardless of the quality of the material.

Summary: Classic.
Review: The main reason I went to see this film is because I am a huge Alexis Bledel fan (lots of people even say I resemble her). I had read the book when I was a kid, and it had been a favorite of mine. Seeing the movie was a great way to relive the childhood glee. The movie is a beautiful, moving tale about a doomed love story. All the actors do a phenomenal job, and the scenery and costumes are beautiful. I'm sure it is not easy to do a period piece, such as this! I highly recommend this movie for anyone- from little kids to senior citizens. It is a timeless tale.

Summary: Corny, silly, unbelievable....perfect.
Review: Norman Rockwell was a painter who knew, first hand, of the evils of the real world. So was Walt Disney. But when these men put there respective brushes to paper they made the discussion, they would not paint the bad, but the world as they thought it should be. They would create loving if flawed characters and happy endings. The world of Tuck Everlasting is not real. It is a world of eternal springtime where adorable couples literally run through fields of flowers and fawns come up to be petted. It would be a quite unbearable world if such films and stories were simply put aside as being too silly or unbelievable, who needs reality, we have reality. We go to the movies sometimes for fantasy and for escape. Meet Winnie, the child of loving but unintentionally cruel parents who want what's best for there only child, but who are clueless as to what she really needs, they decide to send her to a prison for girls where she will be abused until she behaves in a way that suits them, for her own good of course, such situations are always difficult, you can't dislike parents who care for there children and make the effort and sacrifice to do what's best, no doubt at considerable emotional pain themselves. But you cannot forgive people who are fundamentally selfish and cannot accept the there child is a person, not a pet, parents care for there children, but they do not own them. Whinny's parents are unreasonable and cannot accept there child as an individual with feelings and opinions. They would have crushed her soul to meet there idea of the perfect daughter,but this is Disney, thank God. In Disney's world we know that mom and dad will come around, that there daughter will find herself and be happy, that they all will be. She runs off and meets a just too handsome young man and they spend a lot of time being just too damn happy. The young actress who plays Whiney is just perfect, she does not act so much as stand there and shimmer like some sort of living jewel, she is simply perfect. Of course there is a complication, a bad guy, and a wonderful happy ending which Walt Disney himself would have been so very proud of. There is some story about a magic fountain of youth, but that's not what this is about. This is about stepping into a world where things happen as they should, so what if it's fake. It is the fake we desperately need sometimes, like now.

Summary: Very few movies...
Review: Very few movies come in and touch your heart. This is one of them. Tuck Everlasting is a movie with so much depth and emotion. I can't imagine it being called a children's movie. Yes, Tuck Everlasting will be a hit with children but with adults it will be different. It will be something wonderful and something very beautiful. The book is wonderful. I recommend you read it to your children and then discuss the book with them. See what they have to say about Winnie and the decisions she has to make. This book is great for opening up topics with you children such as death and life. Children want to know about death and I think this movie is perfect for helping explain it. So all in all you may buy this movie for your children...but I assure you...it's also for you too.

Summary: To Live a Life
Review: This is a magical film filled with romance that is a joy. Director Jay Russell has made something special here and it is the best film I have seen in theatres this year. A romantic glow surrounds this fantasy that has some sweet and tender moments that are rare and usually short lived in theatres. So if you don't get to see this before it leaves your city pick it up as soon as it comes out. This quiet fatasy is gently started with the voice over of Elizabeth Shue who does a nice job taking us into a world that becomes real to us. Alexis Bledel is sweet innocence and romance captured in a bottle as the young and fiery Winnie Foster. She is stifled by her family life of manners and longs for change. She finally finds it when she ventures outside the iron gates of her home into the woods she knows hold something special for her. William Hurt is wonderful as Angus Tuck and Sissy Spacek gives a loving performance as his wife Mae. They have lived in these woods for centuries with their two boys, Miles (Scott Bairstow) and Jesse (Jonathan Jackson), who Winnie finds when she gets lost. But the Tuck family is being hunted down by a mysterios man portrayed with menace by Ben Kingsly. Winnie's discovery will have to be dealt with and no one is sure how. She and Jesse begin a romance with some truly magical moments. Her dancing to the beat of nature as it sings for her in these woods and a swim together under a waterfall are turned into moments you will never forget. When Jesse finally tells her about the family and the magical waters that allow them to never die the downside to their way of existence is also revealed by his brother Miles. Bairstow does a great job in this scene conveying the heartbreak when his wife and two children left these woods, refusing to drink the water. Her wealthy family closes in on the Tucks trying to find her as Kingsley's man of mystery does also. When they are discovered a decision must be made by Winnie as to how she wants to live. There is humor and joy mixed with melancholy in this richly romantic fable. After a jailbreak of Jesse's parents she must decide if she should drink the waters and wait for Jesse, who she loves. But the tender words of wisdom and angst of Angus Tuck keep returning to her. It is a magical scene when he encourages her to live her life to the fullest and drink in whatever lies ahead for her. The story is romantic, the cinematography breathtaking, and the performances sure in this wonderful film rich in atmosphere and wholesome substance. This is a truly amazing film you can not miss.

Summary: Hollywood Teen Romance
Review: When Winnie meets Jessie, the latter helps her to escape the restrictions of her class which has prevented her from forming any meaningful relationships with her age peers. The problem is that Jessie is not her age peer. He is 107. Yet he acts like he is 17, with the same lack of experience and youthful innocence that characterizes that transition to adulthood. Jessie's older brother likewise acts like a 20something, getting drunk, fighting in bar brawls, etc. He reminds me more of a college sophomore than a centenarian. I agree with some reviewers that Tuck has some similarities to Titanic, but Tuck is much more enjoyable (Titanic was torture). The more redeeming aspects of this film are its set and sound score. They did a beautiful job of bringing the mystery of the forest to life. Hurt and Spacek do a wonderful job, and Blassek is appropriately cast as a depressed girl who wants to break out of her Victorian social prison. Unfortunately, Hollywood is becoming more shallow with each passing year, so three stars is not bad. However, when compared to the many wonderful films coming out of Europe these days, this is shallow drivel that is hardly worth your time.
