A Knight's Tale (2001)

Put away your history book and have fun!

[14 May 2001]

I hadn't read any reviews before seeing this movie (I like being totally surprised) so I was actually expecting a historical knight's tale. What a wonderful surprise! How fun. How bold to take poetic license with the dialogue, music and dancing. To me, that make the movie.

What a joy to have fun with history - I took the kids and the got a taste of history without having to sit through a dry, boring documentary.

I recommend this for the whole family!

If anyone can remember the quote to the affect, "...your men like you. If I knew knothing else..." Please email me or post it in the quotes section.

A Soldier's Story (1984)

Hidden treasure!

[26 June 1999]

This is one of my all time favorite movies. The thing that I find so amazing is that few people have ever heard of it much less seen it. The acting and story line is excellent. This is one of those great whodunits with a great twist that compels us to examine our stereotypes and presumptions. If you find yourself looking for a great tip at the video store check this movie out. I think you'll enjoy it.

Tarzan (1999)

Destined to be a classic!

[9/10 · 20 June 1999]

Outstanding job by Disney! This is the first Disney animation in a long time that both children and adults will love. My kids are still talking about it.

I was glad Disney didn't feel the need to introduce some demon-like, character in this movie like they have done in many of their other animations.

Disney must know they have a winner here. I think this will become a classic Disney animation right up there with Lion King, Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast and Jungle Book.
