The simplest things...

Sun, 21 Mar 2004 16:17:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - This movie is based on a true story. Like most true stories, it doesn't have a happy ending. The cast Dr. Malcolm Sayer... Robin Williams Leonard Lowe... Robert DeNiro Elanor Costello... Julie Kavner Dr. Kaufman... John Heard Paula.....

The things you do for love....

Thu, 18 Mar 2004 01:30:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - As usual with any controversial subject, there is a large difference in opinions on this movie. I LIKED it very much. I will now tell you why.... The Story... Most people have heard of Aileen Wuornos- I was not one of them. I had only heard of...

One of the most enchanted love stories EVER...

Sun, 4 Jan 2004 16:27:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - Plot Details: This opinion reveals everything about the movie's plot. This movie is by far one of the best love stories ever written. Unlike so many love stories, this one focuses on the rarely seen in Hollywood story line that love is blind & inner...

Do ANY of us see ourselves clearly?

Wed, 10 Sep 2003 02:55:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - I remember when this movie was first advertised on HBO (this is an made for HBO movie) and thinking, "WOW! How pathetic these people seem (already!) and there's no way in hell I'm watching that!" Well, I don't remember how, but I caught the beginning...

Mendelssohn: Elijah / Frhbeck de Burgos, Jones, Baker, etc: Mozart meets Puccini in church.

Thu, 19 Sep 2002 01:17:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - Mendelssohn's oratorio Elijah is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in music. His writing has the purity & holiness of Mozart but the passion & melody of Puccini. I first sang in the chorus of Elijah when I was only 14 years old. (I have sung...

"As good as it gets?" or: "How the Howards stole the Grinch."

Wed, 7 Aug 2002 23:59:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - Is it possible that the original cartoon was as good as it gets? By that I mean that some things don't need to be, or cannot be improved upon. When I heard that they were doing a "live" version of the Grinch, I was excited. But somehow, I didn't picture...

"It was terrible- but I couldn't turn away!"

Sat, 13 Jul 2002 01:05:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - Much like an accident on the side of the highway- one that everyone stops to check out- this is a terrifying movie that you cannot turn away from. I remember the first time I caught it on Cable- I was completely mesmerized. It's not an easy movie to...

To touch the face of God through music...

Wed, 12 Jun 2002 23:35:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - I hardly know where to begin with this opera that I love so much, so I'll start with the basics- and I'll tell you that I'm am opera singer that has studied this piece, so I'll be coming at it from a different perspective than solely a listener...

Los Panchos meet the Spanish Judy Garland!

Tue, 4 Jun 2002 00:49:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - This is for me, Rocio Durcal's best album. Comprised entirely of songs composed by Juan Gabriel, this is my favorite album of his songs as well.

I guess one could say that Juan is the Latin Barry Manilow, he's the guy there that "writes the...

Like a sunny Italian day in a field of flowers.

Sun, 2 Jun 2002 14:39:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - I've seen this CD blasted for the cover art- two young lovers kissing in a field of flowers- but that is what this album is like. A combination of lieder, musicals, and classical pieces, it has something for everyone.

Track Listing:...

Me voy a regalar... Give yourself the gift of this CD!

Sun, 26 May 2002 16:13:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - My review title is taken from the 4th track of the CD, Me voy a regalar (I will gift/give myself) because this album IS a gift. To me it is Marc's BEST album. And yes, I have almost all of them & those I don't have, I've listened to.

Whether or not...

The fearful needs of the human heart...

Mon, 22 Apr 2002 18:03:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - I always marvel that people regard this as a children's movie. I have to give a dissenting vote on that one. This is a very adult movie on many levels. I suppose that's part of why I like it. I haven't read the book (but would like to & have read...

Salsa Caliente del JAPON!

Sat, 20 Apr 2002 20:20:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - Well, I am shocked to see that there was no other review AND that it looks like this is out of print! This was their first album, released in 1991 and is a lot of fun! Now I'm glad I took this album in my divorce!! hee hee! (my review title translation...

A wonderfully soulful submersion into Salsa....

Sun, 14 Apr 2002 23:45:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - This album, Otra Nota (Other Note) was Marc's first solo release back in 1993. I was lucky enough to discover it not long after. I was shocked to see no one had reviewed it here. Despite Marc's commercial & English success, to me, this album remains one...

"He came to the wrong house, and he came TWICE!

Mon, 14 Jan 2002 00:41:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - Made in 1949, The Heiress, starring Olivia de Havilland, Montgomery Clift, and Ralph Richardson is a tour de force in the acting category. The story centers around Catherine Sloper (de Havilland), the shy and timid daughter of Dr. Austin Sloper...

Salsa Erotica!

Sat, 3 Nov 2001 21:44:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - Luis Enrique has long been one of the best salsa artists in the world- especially of what us fans like to call, salsa erotica. He has one of the most romantic voices, bar none, that I've ever heard.

He biggest contribution is his voice. There...

Saint of a great movie!

Fri, 2 Nov 2001 23:08:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - I was lucky to see this movie years ago and whenever someone asks me, what the saddest movie I ever saw was, I say, The St. of Fort Washington.

I can honestly tell you that the ending had me crying like I've NEVER cried in a movie. (And believe me,...

Fighting for possession of your soul...

Sun, 26 Aug 2001 21:28:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - This is without a doubt, one of my favorite "war" movies. Written and directed by Oliver Stone, it is also, in my opinion, his best work.

The story follows young Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen) who is a "cherry" just in country (he is the Oliver...

See it! It's an "excellent notion" to quote the movie itself!

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 23:16:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - I immediately fell in love with this movie when I saw it the first time. The award winning (just about every award, Oscar, BSFC, BFCA, Golden Globe & more!) screenplay by Emma Thompson is absolutely perfect! She truly did a masterful job & was worthy of...

Puccini's forgotten masterpiece...

Thu, 31 May 2001 22:13:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - This opera was commissioned to be an operetta- but is some kind of a hybrid. Puccini wrote this at a time when he was separated from his usual publisher, Ricordi. (I had to order this score from Sonzongo and it was $75!!) This may explain part of the...

Macomb was a tired ol' town...

Sun, 20 May 2001 19:35:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - This has to be one of the all time best adaptations of a book to a movie ever. Horton Foote (who won an Oscar for this screenplay and Tender Mercies) absolutely captured the entire spirit of the book. You can never put every single detail from a book...

A movie about so much more than football...

Sat, 19 May 2001 01:58:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - I absolutely loved this film. And why shouldn't I? I've read reviewers that said it was predictable. Well, it was based on a true story & sorry that for once, the true story had a happy ending (in some ways). This review does contain some info about the...

"Shall we just have a cigarette on it?"

Sat, 19 May 2001 01:56:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - Okay... before you non smokers (of which I am one) get on me for that title... you have to see the movie.

This is a story, adapted from the book by Olive Higgins Prouty (now there's a name for you!) that chronicles the life story of "Aunt"...

The road map for a road "less traveled"...

Wed, 9 May 2001 00:12:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - I have read and re-read this book many times. I was first made aware of it by my Mother who thankfully shared it with me. This book above any other book I've ever read has impacted my daily life in a real way. I think that is because it is a "map" for...
