Rating: Summary: A Modern American Myth Review: This is a movie that speaks to the Baby boom generation. It makes us understand that what is truly important in our lives is not the business that we do but the people that we love. While some view the story as maudlin, it struck me as real and touching. Kevin Costner and Amy Madigan are perfectly cast as are James Earl Jones and the late Burt Lancaster. While I was probably drawn to this movie by its baseball theme, anyone who values the importance of family will be drawn to Ray Kinsella's voyage to a simple game of catch.
Rating: Summary: This is an excellent movie Review: This is an excellent movie that shows history of the Black Sox players. It is also a movie about family, and how important it is. It probably could have had more baseball in it.
Rating: Summary: Field Of Dreams is a heart-warming two thumb up film Review: Field of dreams is a great and heart warming tale that shows the love for the game of baseball. It shows the lengths one man will go to, all the while not knowing for one instance what or why hes doing it. Field of dreams is by far a great baseball movie, and one of the greatest movies of all time.
Rating: Summary: The best movie of all time! Review: What do you get when you combine some of this generation's best actors, a great story, and a beautiful score? The best film ever made. This is not just about baseball. It is about dreams and miracles, and the power of believing. Burt Lancaster and James Earl Jones give sensational performances in supporting roles, as do Kevin Costner and Amy Madigan in starring roles. This movie is unusual in another way: it is much bettter than the novel by W.P. Kinsella, a rare occurence in filmmaking. Buy the soundtrack if you like the movie.
Rating: Summary: A completely wonderful movie Review: FIELD OF DREAMS is truly one of the most wonderful movies I've ever seen. It is a simple, honest, innocent film, unlike anything else made in the last 40 years. It is perfectly suited for Kevin Costner's strengths, and it is one of his best roles. I envy anyone who is seeing it for the first time, because the film keeps surprising you with more and more wonderful turns as the end approaches. Keep the tissues handy!
Rating: Summary: For People With Deep Emotion Review: This is not a movie about baseball. Yes, there is an obvious theme of baseball. This movie is about forgiveness, and being able to tell your father that you love him. The movie is about having a chance to undo something that you deeply regret having done in the first place.This movie could and should make about anyone who has ever loved their parents cry. It is for those people who know that sometimes saying "I love you" is said by "having a catch" with your dad.
Rating: Summary: A movie for fathers and sons of all ages. Review: What father does not have at least one regret for that time he did not spend with his son? What son does not have at least one regret about something he said to his father? The two come together in this movie that uses baseball, and what it means to all of us, as a vehicle to let a father and a son live their dreams -- their dreams about each other and what it means to be a father and a son.
Rating: Summary: This movie made me cry, and believe at the same time Review: Its about a guy[Kevin Costner] Who is a baseball fanatic. One day he starts to hear voices from his corn field. The voice says if u build it he will come. Well at first he thought he was hearing things, but after a few more times he decides to build a baseball field. All his neighbors laugh at him, and call him crazy, but he knows if he builds the field Sholess Joe will come back and be able to play again. I dont want to say any more, because If u havent seen it u should go watch it, and I wouldnt want to ruin a classic baseball movie.
Rating: Summary: I thought it was less yucky than ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE Review: The presence of Amy Madigan achieves instant suspension of disbelief; anybody challenging this examine her performance as the survivalist in STREETS OF FIRE; a dreamlike bubble given substance only by the brilliance of Madigan, Michael Pare & exquisite Diane Lane, and the consummate villiany of Willem Dafoe (his only really convincing appearance - and based solely on appearance. He looks like the fiend incarnate). But I digress. FIELD OF DREAMS takes on its own reality once Madigan enters a frame, and though we may have to ask ourselves, "A real what?" she does make it all absolutely genuine.
Rating: Summary: CRACKING CRACKING SLOWLY IN THE CORN Review: Ever seen a farmer go crazy? Not a pretty sight. This one starts by hallucinating that he hears voices, mows his garden, goes to see baseball in Boston, visits a has-been dentist in Minnesota, picks up a dangerous hitch-hiker (brings him home!), sees ghosts, argues with his relatives...yet somehow has a happy ending. Very syrupy.
