"Somewhere" Movie Review77

"Somewhere" Movie Review

Somewhere tells the story of young Hollywood celebrity actor Johnny Marco, played by Stephen Dorff and his very bright, talented, unhappy, young daughter Cleo played impeccably by Elle Fanning. The movie was written and directed by Sofia Coppola. It's her fourth movie and just as good as her most recent one, Lost in Translation, for which her script won an Academy Award.

Who was Dr. Strangelove?74

Who was Dr. Strangelove?

The question of the identity of Dr. Strangelove is not susceptible to a ready answer. "Dr. Strangelove" is Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece and my all time favorite movie. If you haven't seen it don't let another day pass without a trip to your nearest video rental for a copy.
