shirley-valentine-mcalister Shirley Valentine Reviewed by Linda Lopez McAlister For The Women's Show, WMNF-FM, Tampa, FL July 6, 1990 Shirley Valentine is a British film that was shown in movie theaters in early 1990 and which received, at best, a lukewarm reception by the film reviewers in the local press. Shirley Valentine (played by Pauline Collins) is a 42 year- old, white, middle-class, English housewife whose kids are grown and whose husband has become a dour, boring, martinet who hardly speaks to Shirley except to give orders or complain. She's reduced to talking to herself or her kitchen wall, and wondering what ever became of Shirley Valentine, the spunky young woman with hopes and dreams that she used to be. www.mith2.umd.edu /WomensStudies/FilmReviews/S/shirley-valentine-mcalister   (582 words)

Barnes & Noble.com - Shirley Valentine -- Lewis Gilbert - VHS In the film version of Shirley Valentine, Pauline Collins re-creates the role that had previously brought her theatrical fame and a Tony Award. Shirley Valentine represents the second felicitous collaboration between playwright Willy Russell and director Lewis Gilbert; the first was the equally marvelous Educating Rita (1983). Spending the bulk of the film speaking directly to the audience, the titular Shirley (Collins), a middle-aged Liverpool housewife, reveals her innermost thoughts and fears in a manner that is both insouciant and poignant. video.barnesandnoble.com /search/product.asp?ean=97363224839   (582 words)

AboutFilm.Com - The Girl Next Door (1999) Fugate opens the film by establishing that Valentine, née Stacy Baker, really is "the girl next door." She hails from Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she was a young housewife until, in 1995, her abusive husband pushed her into competing in an adult magazine's amateur model contest. In her enthusiasm and ebullience, Valentine comes across as naive and a bit vapid, as does her boyfriend Julian, who is also in the adult film industry. The Girl Next Door follows two years in the life of Stacy Valentine, who rose meteorically in the adult film industry in 1997 and 1998, appearing in dozens of features and magazines and winning numerous awards. www.aboutfilm.com /movies/g/girlnextdoor.htm   (1493 words)

Caveman's Valentine Although Eve's Bayou had its otherworldly references linked to voodoo, that was easier to follow and was not as much of the essence of the story as the delusions that Jackson has throughout this film. Tamara Tunie provides texture to the film by showing the relationship that was, and will never be again, with Jackson, even though they never meet face to face in real time in the film. The beauty of this movie is being able to think, see and feel like a person of high intelligence, who can no longer function in society. www.reelmoviecritic.com /2000/id966.htm   (1493 words)

Resident Evil: Apocalypse! - Beyond3D Forum Joining the duo for the second installment will be three new companions ripped directly from the game; and while it may not come as a surprise to all of you, we were completely floored: Jill Valentine is going to be one of the movie's central characters! The actress set to play Miss Valentine is still under negotiations (though we're going to go out on a limb and predict that either Famke Jensen or Alyson Hannigan will get the role), and the identities of the other two game-related costars are still a mystery. Though exact story details are unknown, the ending of the first film should be an indication as to what to expect(prepare for spoilers): Alice, Jill, and company find themselves alone and outnumbered as they fight off the massive undead population of Raccoon City. www.beyond3d.com /forum/showthread.php?t=5125   (1328 words)

MovieMaker Magazine HOP Volume 3, Issue #6 Director Eli Roth In addition to the films from the ’70s, I grew up with the horror films and the teenage sex comedies of the early 1980s: films like The Burning, The Last American Virgin and My Bloody Valentine. For Roth, a former protégé of David Lynch, it was more than a little ironic when the same studios who passed on Cabin Fever years earlier were engaged in a heated bidding war when the film debuted at the Toronto Film Festival in September of 2002. Those films had lots of nudity and that’s what I wanted in my film, just in terms of not wanting to be formulaic. www.moviemaker.com /hop/vol3/06/directing.html   (1957 words)

dOc DVD Review: My Bloody Valentine (1981) George Mihalka's My Bloody Valentine, in its unedited form, is no doubt a truly great genre film. George Mihalka's My Bloody Valentine appeared on the leading edge of the 1980s masked killer revival, and featured one of the more memorable genre bad guys: the pickaxe-wielding miner, all decked out in black, complete with helmet light and gas mask. You might think that canceling such a trivial event as a Valentine dance might not be the biggest sacrifice in the world, but to the narrowly focused, stock character populace of Valentine Bluff it is apparently a very big deal, because of course twenty years later they just must have one. www.digitallyobsessed.com /showreview.php3?ID=3926   (968 words)

Amazon.ca: St. Valentines Day Massacre: Video "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre" is the kind of film that needs to be accepted on its own terms. "Massacre" is a thoroughly entertaining film that never tries to be anything more or less than that. His tactics are similar to those employed by James Cagney in "Public Enemy," and it is this little homage that should tell viewers that the film is going to make a mere pretense of accuracy - and that this is just fine. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/6301966937   (513 words)

DVD.net : Valentine - DVD Review For this reason, Valentine was not the first film of its kind and it will certainly not be the last. Valentine’s central character is Kate Davies (Shelton) who plays the group’s sweetheart and is the character we are supposed to feel the most sympathy for. Valentine is presented in Dolby 5.1 and, as such, these effects work well. www.dvd.net.au /review.cgi?review_id=1156   (1429 words)

Review: The Girl Next Door (1999) Stacy Valentine is a product of her environment - her breasts have been augmented more than once, her thighs and legs have been liposuctioned, and her lips have been injected with fat removed from her hips. Stacy gives Fulgate surprisingly candid access, allowing the director to film her during some of the darkest moments of this period. Her stage name is "Stacy Valentine", and her list of credits list more than 65 adult movies, including a number of popular titles. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/g/girl_next_door.html   (1054 words)

The 11th Hour Web Magazine - Movie Review - Valentine Valentine is overly aware of this appeal, which makes it less scary and more schizophrenic as it tries to keep the killer's identity a secret. By the end of the film, they've jerked you around enough that you just won't care, and considering the way the film ends, you may find yourself still befuddled even when they seem to be spelling it out for you. Valentine leaves audiences with a number of questions as the final credits roll. www.the11thhour.com /archives/022001/moviereviews/valentine.html   (1054 words)

Victim's family opposes Son of Sam film by Lee Valentine said the film wasn't focused on Berkowitz, instead dealing with a group of Bronx youths who severely beat a man they mistakenly thought was the Son of Sam killer. Al Valentine, location manager for the film, said the filmmaking would go on as planned, although Lee was sensitive to the protesters' concerns and has ordered his crews to stay away from actual murder sites.

JAKEOPOLIS.com - Movie Reviews, Editorials, And More From The Big Guy During one of the opening moments of the film, Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) just walks into the police station, guns blazing, and says to everybody that you have to shoot the zombies in the head. But, with lines like Valentine's, "I'm good, but you're better.", it's a wonder why they signed up for the film in the first place. Perhaps the films most intriguing aspect comes from Jill Valentine's clothing. www.jakeopolis.com /jakereviews/residentevilapoc.html   (1092 words)

Valentine: Movie-Source.com Valentine Movie, Valentine Preview, Valentine Review Valentine cannot and should not be considered a great film, but if you have a couple of hours to spare, it can't do any harm. Like most horror movies, Valentine is filled with a gorgeous cast, although the story at least builds that in a little bit, since a kid from ten years ago has returned to kill the popular people that were mean to him. As for Valentine, a horror movie that leaves the teenage group and moves to the slightly more upscale (and, I guess, sexier) twenty-something age group, it is packed with stupidity, but at least it's entertaining. www.movie-source.com /movie_page.asp?movieID=1236   (414 words)

VALENTINE - movie reviews VALENTINE is all about scare, of the funhouse variety. Even good performances can¹t save this scary movie from becoming the type of film that gives horror movies a bad name.

The Caveman's Valentine: Cinephiles Movie Review Although The Caveman's Valentine mainly focuses on depicting the difficulties Romulus encounters as an outcast who tries to solve a murder, the film also explores the character's relationship to Art as he confronts his suspect. Aside from Jackson's memorable performance, The Caveman's Valentine is a film with intriguing concepts and unclear representations of them. Thus, The Caveman's Valentine may be viewed as an imperfect attempt to find visual and narrative representations of the themes involving the questionable and often abused definitions of Art. www.cinephiles.net /The_Cavemans_Valentine/Film-Synopsis.html   (414 words)

David Boreanaz - "Valentine" Movie (2001) - Boxofficeprophets.com Review - Reviews Add in that Valentine is a horror film - albeit a slasher, my least-favorite sub-genre - and it wasn’t all that difficult to choose to invest the 96 minutes to check it out. Still and all, Valentine is a decent entry into the genre, and given the paucity of St Valentine’s Day-specific horror flicks, it certainly will fill the bill for the get-your-baby-to-move-closer portion of your Valentine’s celebrations. Or perhaps you’re out on a movie date, and all the films you wanted to see are sold out, and there’s only one film available that you haven’t seen. www.whedon.info /article.php3?id_article=8541   (1550 words)
