This is what happens if you set professional standards extremely high.

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Bottomline has nothing left to say. She'll go and watch the movie instead.
Review: This review has been sitting around for quite some time. I simply wasn't sure if my, sometimes inadequate, words could do it justice.

I've edited it several times and then decided to take my cue from Writer/Director Frank Darabont. He must...

Brooks was here

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 2000
Review: I?m not sure where to begin lauding this film. It is masterfully adapted from the King story, with superb acting and wonderful photography. This film evokes a myriad of emotions from the viewer, from sympathy to anger to triumphant joy. There are...

A tale of friendship and the human spirit

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: You have to see this movie!
Review: This is my favorite movie ever. I always cry at some part of the movie, and it is never the same. It is the tale of prisoners, but it really is a story of friendship and hope, and how they can both overcome just about any obstacle, including a life...

shawshank shiner!

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 2002
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend the Shawshank Redemption to anyone, because of the emotion that the movie is full of. You will be thinking about it days after you see it.
Review: Two thumbs up for the Shawshank Redemption! This movie is a wonderful tale of justice gone wrong in our society. At the same time, this movie expresses that the bad guy doesn't always win.
In the case of the Shawshank redemption, the Warden is...

All About Shawshank

Date of Review:  Oct 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: I absolutely recommend this film. It's a very serious minded movie and the acting's superb. Never a dull moment.
Review: This movie is about a man, (Tim Robbin's character) who is falsely accused of murdering his wife and her lover. He is brought to Shawshank prison to serve 2 life sentences. Along the way he goes through many ups and downs including rape, beatings, a...

A TRUE Redemption

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2000
Review: Howdy!

You would have to be a bit dense to not rate "The Shawshank Redemption" as one of the top 5 movies of the 1990's. Don't be fooled; this movie is all it's cracked up to be and more. How else could a 6 year old movie be so popular as...

A Great Story

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 1999
Review: I just bought the DVD of this movie after seeing it on TBS and must say that it is a great movie! It has a well-written plot that keeps you glued to the screen the whole movie. The plot involves an innocent man who has ended up in the worst prison...

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2000
Review: OH...this movie....
This is a movie we rented 5 times in one month! Finally, we bought it!
This movie sucked me in from the very first 5 minutes that we sat down to see it!
From that moment on..nothing existed, the phone went unanswered,...

Best of the Best

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this movie for anyone who enjoys a good story without lots of action. It is one of the best.
Review: Shawshank Redemption is my favorite serious movie of all time. Many people don't know that this is a Stephen King story from one of his books of short stories. I think it is one of his best works. The movie centers around life in prison during the...

An unbelievably remarkable film

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2000
Review: The Shawshank Redemption, a 1994 film directed by Frank Darabont, is based on "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King. This story is rather uncharacteristic of most of the other books by King; Shawshank is anything but a horror...
