Movies That Improve on Multiple Viewings: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991) is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s more than just a superb Disney cartoon. It crams more emotion and interesting characters into just 82 minutes than most movies do in twice that … Continue reading →

Forgotten Film Gems: Starman

Posted on July 26, 2011 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

Starman is a forgotten classic. If you’ve already seen it, I applaud you. If you haven’t, I suggest you check it out. This movie never got the attention it deserved, possibly because it came out just two years after another … Continue reading →
