"The success of Slumdog Millionaire, despite our reservations about it, has got us thinking about romance in film. We look to another Westerner’s spin on Indian romance, Nina Paley’s Sita Sings the Blues. The animated feature, which is now available for free online, weaves an ancient Indian epic with a modern day break-up story, all with a soundtrack of vintage Annette Hanshaw. Then we look at Roman Holiday. A classic romance involving ro "

""High School Musical" represents everything I despise about the corporate juggernaut known as Disney: Flawless teens seemingly air-brushed by nature, ready-to-market characters prepared to franchise into every imaginable direction (stage play, television series, dolls, ice show, dolls, recording contracts, etc.), and a story you can set your watch to. It's also pretty darn fun, gosh darn it. I realize that the majority of the target audience of 'High School Musical 3: Senior Year' could not give two shakes of Zac Efron's hips as to what my opinion of the film is. So this review go out to all the parents out there.

"Just kidding. This film would have suffered immensely if it were shot in Hollywood. The backdrop of 1950's Rome adds so much romance and character to the film, not to mention the ever lovely Audrey Hepburn (in her first starring role) and the always affable Gregory Peck. Great story that has been ripped off in recent years countless times, but as many of us know, the original is always where it's at. "

"The China Syndrome focuses on two journalists, Jane Fonda ("Georgia Rule") and Michael Douglas ("King of California"), who try to expose the dangers of a nuclear power plant in California. Jack Lemmon ("The Odd Couple II") works in the plant and helps them when he becomes convinced that safety standards are not being met. The film is a bit slow starting off, but when it gets going, the paranoia and cover-ups are easy to buy into. The ending is also very good. Definitely worth checking out. I haven't seen a film as moving as Talk to Her in quite awhile. Written and directed by Pedro Almodovar ("Volver"), the story follows two men who become friends while caring for the women they love, both of whom happen to be in comas. But it's so much more than that. There's love, of all kinds, morally questionable actions, beautiful cinematography, haunting music, crying, laughing, general amazement on my part. This is what movies are all about. Grand Hotel was the Best Picture Oscar winner in ... "

"Release Year: 1953Director: William Wyler *****There is a reason Audrey Hepburn is such a beloved film icon. First, there is her ability to play any kind of role convincingly (see her take on Princess Ann here juxtaposed to her fun loving Anya, right). Then there is her look: the girl next door, someone any mother would want her son to marry. And then there's the way she makes even the most cynical of people let their own guards down. Roman Holiday is about, succinctly, growing up. Taking responsibility for your actions, putting others before yourself, doing "the right thing" though it may not be what you want to do. Princess Ann sneaks out of the embassy one night while in Rome and falls in with a reporter, Joe Bradley (Peck). Once he realizes who she is, he hatches a plan to get an exclusive story-with pictures-for the paper. As the two grow closer, Joe realizes if the pictures he has are shown to the public, Ann would be ruin "
