A rising artist, flourishing with the help of a benefactor, falls fruitlessly in love with his wealthy childhood playmate, who has grown to be a beautiful coquette. But the nefarious influence of her eccentric, spiteful maiden aunt taints their relationship. A stylish, heavily romantic updating of the eponymous Dickens classic, staged in 1970s south Florida. Bancroft, as the "Miss Havisham" character, steals the show.

4 stars Great in Green
This movie is not only a good movie, it is visually pleasing to the eye. The director has done a wonderful job of using green to bring out the naturalness of the actors and of the situation. Although nothing beats the book, the movie is one of my favorites.

Sometimes finding the perfect apartment is a curse more than a blessing, especially if the apartment is unit 1303. Although it's bright and airy, with a lovely view, it has a dark and bloody history that continues to haunt each and every resident who makes the fatal mistake of moving in. This J-Horror film is a terrifying look at how a tragedy from the past can send ripples through time that can only be stopped by solving the mystery that created them. Moving into her 1st apartment, Sayaka invites her friends to come over to celebrate. During the party, she begins to behave strangely and suddenly runs to the balcony and plunges to her death. At her funeral, stunned and horrified, her friends refuse to believe this was a suicide. Her sister Mariko begins to investigate and discovers Sayaka wasn't the first to plummet to her death in Apartment 1303. As she begins to uncover the shocking history of Apartment 1303, she comes face-to-face with an evil more powerful and terrifying than she could have imagined.

Nearing Grace DVD  (2006) Widescreen

Great Expectations DVD
DVD $19.35
A coming-of-age independent feature film set in late 1970s, NEARING GRACE follows high school senior Henry Nearing (Gregory Smith). Nearing has to cope with the death of his mother, and is also forced to come to terms with evolving from a self-absorbed and confused adolescent to accepting the responsibilities of early adulthood. Unfortunately his father, Shep (David Morse), and his older brother, Blair (David Moscow), don't offer any kind of guidance, and find themselves detaching at the seams. His father quits his teaching job, buys a motorcycle, and becomes a perpetual drunk, while his brother takes off to live as a transient doper. To make things even more complicated, Henry has two young women on his mind: the sexy, wealthy, and very popular Grace (Jordana Brewster) and childhood friend Merna (Ashley Johnson)--one drives him crazy, the other keeps him sane. Based on the novel of the same name by Scott Somer, NEARING GRACE at times seems to vicariously live through some of the more memorable moments of its coming-of-age predecessors, SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL (1987) and GARDEN STATE (2004). Once the haze of constant pot-smoking clears the characters are relatable and in some instances the scenes are quite heartfelt, although the film isn't much of a stretch for Smith, who is well-known as teen-angst extraordinaire Ephram Brown in the television drama EVERWOOD. But it's Smith's co-stars, Brewster (THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS), Johnson (FAST FOOD NATION), and Morse (DOWN IN THE VALLEY, PROOF OF LIFE) that deliver the emotional leverage needed to expose Henry's pain. Nearing Grace is a coming of age story about a sexually eager teenagers who sets out to fulfill his fantasy with the hottest girl in school while making several bad mistakes along the way. Jordana Brewster and Gregory Smith star. Extras include outtakes, deleted scenes, cast interviews, and theatrical trailer.
