The Color Purple (1985,  PG-13)
The Color Purple 4.5 Stars
A great portayal of the plight of the black woman and the struggles we face. Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey shine in this film! Danny Glover emodies the role of "Mister" so well, that I hated him for years after.

Extraordinary cast, extraordinary film!

The Libertine (2006,  R)
The Libertine 4.0 Stars
Rochester: "Allow me to be frank at the commencement. You will not like me. The gentlemen will be envious and the ladies will be repelled. You will not like me now and you will like me a good deal less as we go on."

Beautifully shot, brilliantly acted, The Libertine displays the debauchery that was 17th century England. Johnny Depp, as John Wilmont, 2nd Earl of Rochester, shows (once again) why he is one of the greatest character actors of our time. Samantha Morton and Rosamund Pike are stellar as Wilmont's love interests (lover and long-suffering wife). John Malkovich as Charles II, rounds out this great cast.

This film is not for the prudish or those with what I call "virgin ears"- that is my warning to you.

Edward Scissorhands (1990,  PG-13)
Edward Scissorhands 4.5 Stars
An artificial man trying to fit into the real world, Edward initially finds his niche, even daring to fall in love. But he soon learns that hatred and fear of the unknown can turn the tide very quickly. This Burton/Depp collaboration is beautifully done and painfully touching (literally).
