Benny & Joon (1993)

Perhaps this isn’t the most emotionally gripping romantic comedy ever created, but amid a sea of redundant genre flicks, at least BENNY & JOON tries to be different.  It probably could be better if the resulting...

Catch Me If You Can (2002)

I suppose it’s a long time coming for Steven Spielberg to take a break from his string of very serious films (Amistad, Saving Private Ryan, A.I., and Minority Report) to do something fun, and if there’s...

Eight Crazy Nights (2002)

Working Girl (1988)

It’s the little touches that makes an ordinary story better, and Working Girl‘s director Mike Nichols provides plenty of them. Subtle character touches, a few asides, and several moments of realistic drama goes a long...
