"Winona Ryder (in an Oscar(r) nominated role) and Academy Award(r) winner Susan Sarandon (1995 Best Actress, Dead Man Walking) star in this "affectionate, superbly acted" (Los Angeles Times) family favorite. With her husband off at war, Marmee (Sarandon) is left alone to raise their four daughters, her Little Women.

"Es gibt Filme, die ihre Zuschauerschaft in zwei Lager spalten. Die einen lieben den betreffenden Film heiß und innig, die anderen mögen ihn gar nicht. The Frighteners ist ein Film dieser Art. Treffend hat es der bekannte amerikanische Filmkritiker Leonard Maltin ausgedrückt: "The Frighteners ist ein Film, an dem nicht jeder Geschmack finden wird. Doch die, die Filme dieser Art mögen, werden jede einzelne Minute genießen." Mit The Frigh ..."
"Dieser wunderbaren Verfilmung von Louisa May Alcotts Roman vergibt man schnell ihre kleinen Makel. Durch den bewegenden Einblick in das Leben Neu-Englands während der Zeit des amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges, ist Betty und ihre Schwestern ein Erfolg für alle Mitwirkenden. Der Zuschauer begleitet eine Familie bei ihrem Gang in die Welt, um sich schließlich bei deren unabhängigsten Mitglied, dem freimütigen Mädchen Jo (Winona Ryder, Das Geis ..."
"Marisa Tomei releases her inner spitfire in The Perez Family. Dottie Perez (Tomei) comes to the U.S. from Cuba, along with a mixed lot of criminals, lunatics, and political prisoners--including Juan Perez (Alfred Molina), who hopes to be reunited with his wife after 20 years.

"John Goodman (O'Brother, Where Art Thou?) brings the legendary Babe Ruth to life in this triumphant film Entertainment Weekly calls 'a crowd pleaser'. Co-starring Kelly McGillis (Witness, Top Gun), The Babe chronicles Ruth's phenomenal story - from his hard knock beginnings at a Baltimore orphanage, to his meteoric rise to baseball superstardom and his poignant retirement from the game. His amazing life and career included seven Ameri ..."
"The flaws are easily forgiven in this beautiful version of Louisa May Alcott's novel. A stirring look at life in New England during the Civil War, Little Women is a triumph for all involved. We follow one family as they split into the world, ending up with the most independent, the outspoken Jo (Winona Ryder). This time around, the dramatics and conclusions fall into place a little too well, instead of finding life's little accide ..."

"An air of gothic romanticism pervades every aspect of this remarkable film, based on a true story from the turn of the 20th century. In its torrid plot, one can hear the icy restraints of the Victorian era cracking. Diane Keaton is uncannily perfect as Kate Soffel, wife of a priggish prison warden (Edward Herrmann). She's funny and touching playing what used to be called a "neurasthenic"--a nervous, depressed woman with mysterious physi ..."
"Wenn man der komischste und am schnellsten plapperndste Papagei aller Zeiten ist, kann man sich schnell in eine Welt voller Turbulenzen manövrieren - so wie Paulie in diesem superlustigen Abenteuer-Klassiker, der die ganze Familie verzaubern wird. Ein kleiner Vogel mit einer großen Persönlichkeit macht sich auf den Weg, seine beste Freundin, die ihn großzog, wiederzufinden. Doch schon bald entdeckt er, daß sein Plappermaul ihn immer wie ..."
"The human beings are almost as interesting as the title character in this surprisingly subtle and engaging film about the cross-country adventures of a smart-mouthed parrot. As director John Roberts deploys the footage, the bird becomes a vivid personality; every quizzical twist of his head is oddly expressive. The people who interact with Paulie are a quirky and interesting bunch as well, and the casting is topnotch: Tony Shalhoub (Th ..."

"One movie lover's nightmare is another's raucous joyride, and this special effects-laden horror comedy is bound to split both camps right down the middle. (Or, as Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide puts it, "definitely not for all tastes but a wild time for those who get into it.") Michael J. Fox plays a psychic investigator who can actually see ghosts, and lives with a trio of undead spirits who scare people to promote Fox's ghost-b ..."
