Selena Movie Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Selena's story lives on & Jennifer Lopez's finest moment
Selena is an amazing, moving, & enjoyable movie for not just fans of Selena but for the whole family.
It delivers the true story of Selena's life with the help of the fantastic cast. Edward James Olmos plays Mr. Quintanilla, Constance Marie plays Mrs. Quintanilla, & in the title role Jennifer Lopez plays Selena with real heart. All the cast deliver great & convincing performances in their roles.
There is no dought that this is Jennifer Lopez's finest moment in her acting career, she played Selena with such heart, warmth & joyfulness that it's like Selena & Jennifer came together during this movie. The music sounds really great during the concert scenes & Jennifer Lopez captures Selena's mannerisms on spot & at times you're mind can play tricks on you with which one is Selena.
It's a shame that Selena's beautiful life 7 amazing music career ended so wrongly.
Overall This movie is an amazing, uplifting, & wonderful & sad story
that truely show's the american dream.
SELENA VIVE!!!

Fantastic!
Such a sad story! I fell in love with Selena because this movie portrayed her to be the most beautiful, talented and successful latino performer. I envy her life as someone who struggled in her lifehood to become what she has became! I enjoyed this movie very much and will watch it over and over again! Congradulations to Jennifer Lopez as she did a superb job in her performance as Selena!

This movie is so beautifully done I can still remember the day she died...This movie brings so many memories back. My boyfriend didn't know who Selena was until I had him sit down with me and watch this movie. We'll have been married for two years now this comming summer and to this day he still watches it with me and I'm teaching him and my daughter to sing her songs. Just so that she knows she's missed but NEVER forgotten. R.I.P. Selena!

I had never heard Selena sing before I saw this movie.She was blessed with beauty,warmth,charm,charisma and the voice of an angel.It really hurts when such a person is taken away. The world is so much poorer without her presence.To Selena's family, I say you are so lucky to have shared all the memories and to have been around her.She is truly a once in a lifetime artist.Her music will live on forever.

| | Murphy's Romance DVD (1985) Widescreen
Selena film
$6.99
A charming, low-key romantic comedy, MURPHY'S ROMANCE is full of the small pleasures missing from other pictures of its genre. James Garner, in his first Oscar-nominated performance, is the title character, Murphy. Garner lends his unique, down-home persona to the character while the film's writers endow the character with some memorable lines. Murphy's romance begins when Emma (Field) arrives in the small Arizona town where he lives. With her she brings her son Jake, and a feisty attitude. Though this sounds like a set-up from any number of other film romances, it becomes clear from their first meeting that the director, Martin Ritt, is more interested in his carefully observed setting, and in the comic flirtations between Murphy and Emma flirtations, than in making a conventional picture. In fact, some of the film's strongest comic scenes occur when the locals show off their color, including a hilarious sequence during a bingo game that showcases the amazing support cast. Of course, there is some drama and confrontation, but the focus remains on the setting and the relationship between Murphy and Emma, whose lengthy romance is the clear mark of one of the most highly enjoyable movie courtships ever seen.

Included here are fights against the biggest names in the professional wrestling game, such as Triple H, Ric Flair, and collection of other opponents who were not quite big enough to take Undertaker down.

| | Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears A Who! DVD (2008) Full Frame; Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled
Selena movie DVD
$15.09
Based on the 1954 children's book by Dr. Seuss, HORTON HEARS A WHO! is a 2008 computer-animated Hollywood update of the beloved illustrated tale. Horton (voiced by Jim Carrey), a thoughtful elephant living in the jungle of Nool, discovers that an entire society, Whoville, rests inside a speck. He gently rests it on a clover flower, and searches for a place where it will be safe from the perils of the larger world. Establishing contact with Whoville's befuddled mayor (Steve Carell), Horton faces disbelief from his animal friends, including his blue mouse pal, Morton (Seth Rogen), and unwittingly incurs the wrath of an uptight kangaroo (Carol Burnett), setting the playful pachyderm on a journey to the most remote parts of Nool, with malicious vultures and monkeys not far behind.
Executive produced by Chris Wedge, the creator of ICE AGE, and directed by Steve Martino and Jimmy Hayward, this CGI take on Seuss (aka Theodore Geisel) is the first 21st-century adaptation to hew closely to the artist's true spirit and visual style. While Carrey, Carell, Burnett, and the rest of the vocal talent (also including Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, and Jonah Hill) contribute lively performances, the animation is the real focus of the film, displaying a stunning array of colorful characters and landscapes that capture Seuss's wonderfully whimsical aesthetic. Though Seuss loyalists might be dismayed by some liberties taken (particularly a Japanese anime-style interlude and a brief musical number set to a REO Speedwagon hit), the movie's heart is in the right place, resulting in a topnotch family feature.
