MOVIE REVIEWS

The Green Mile, Starring Tom Hanks
To Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks), the Green Mile is not death row; it's a state of being, a place of good feelings, where guards must be on their best behavior to help prisoners stay calm before their execution. To prisoners, it's the green stretch of floor that leads to the electric chair, where the waiting kills you more than the dying. This is the premise for the film, based on the pulp fiction story written by Stephen King of the same title. Click for full story

The Hurricane, Starring Denzel Washington
The American justice system is never without flaws. Justice isn't always blind and sometimes people do fall through the cracks. The story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter exemplifies these missteps, yet manages to tell a tale of patience, friendship and survival. And with that, sporting a boxer's physique and his own personal charm, is none other than Denzel Washington, the title star. Click for full story
