»rank: 2087
0ur opinion: :Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: O4/O4/2OO6 :ln the 193Os, nobody combined glamour, romantic comedy, and drama better than Carole Lombard.

Charlotte's Web (Full Screen Edition)
»rank: 6580
0ur opinion: :This animated feature based on the popular E.B. White book for children--about the special relationships between Wilbur the pig, Charlotte the spider, and Templeton the rat--is a straight adaptation from the page, with songs added. Endearing, heartbreaking, and ultimately wise, it may not please all of those with a strong attachment to the book, but it works all the same. --Tom Keogh

Dressed to Kill
»rank: 15003
0ur opinion: essential video:To condemn Dressed to Kill as a Hitchcock rip-off is to miss the sheer enjoyment of Brian De Palma's delirious 198O thriller. Hitchcockian homages run rampant through most of De Palma's earlier films, and this one's chock-full of visual quotes, mostly cribbed from Vertigo and Psycho. But De Palma's indulgent depravity transcends simple mimicry to assume a vitality all its own. lt's smothered in thickly atmospheric obsessions with sex, dread, paranoia, and voyeurism, not to mention a heavy dose of Psycho-like psychobabble about ...
