VHS Movie Reviews of Wrestling Ernest Hemingway [VHS]
Movie Review: When Opposites Attract
Summary: 5 Stars
Two outstanding performances by aging stars reveal the plight of retired folks (like myself) put out to pasture based on their age by a society that overlooks their abilities and wishes in its haste to make room for the next generation. Two unlikely friends form an alliance and attempt a comeback. Shirley MacLaine is great in a supporting role. Movie Review: Love, Love, Love it! And as of 9/15/09, it's finally out on DVD in the U.S.
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this movie and like a lot the reviewers here, I have been waiting for the DVD release for years... well, wait no more!
Turns out that a new friend of mine works at Warner Bros. Home Video and she was able to give me the scoop a couple of months ago that WB was finally releasing the DVD as an "On Demand" item so you won't find it in retail stores, only at the WB online store. It was available as of September 15. I ordered two :)

Enjoy!
Movie Review: A Touching Human Story
Summary: 5 Stars
What started out as a student film project becomes a virtually lost treasure of American Cinema. The simple story of two lonely seniors who meet on a park bench and develop a relationship based, not upon their commonalities but on their differences, is warmed and elevated by the understated and gentle performances of Richard Harris and Robert Duvall. While the script is somewhat thin and meandering, the excellent cast takes full advantage of the room and leeway between the written words to draw the viewer into a personal relationship with each of them. "Hemingway" makes for a truly personal and human film. I HIGHLY recommend it.Movie Review: Fast Delivery - Many Thanks!

Summary: 5 Stars

Summary of Wrestling Ernest Hemingway [VHS]
Adventures in geezer land--make that lovable geezer land--describes this often manipulative comedy-drama that is rescued only by the personalities of its leads. Richard Harris is a feisty retired sea captain in a Florida retirement community who still wants to chase girls and squeeze the most out of life. He forces his friendship on an also-retired, shy, and routine-loving Cuban exile (Robert Duvall), who eventually reciprocates. But Randa Haines's film isn't quite sure what to do with these old characters. Though each takes a romantic plunge (with Piper Laurie and Shirley MacLaine), you ultimately know what the last stop will be. Still, Harris is a force of nature whose exuberance is contagious, if stagey; and Duvall, as the anal-retentive retired barber, has all the right prissy moves. --Marshall FineSandra Bullock Video
