The film gives teachers yet another role model to look up to and strive to be. It also shows the downside of being the devoted teacher Gruwell was: divorce, administrative battles, etc. Perhaps by centering the movie around the teacher instead of the students, Freedom Writers dodges the bullet of portraying teaching as a completely idyllic occupation. Yes, teachers can make a difference, but the costs can be equally high read the full review | |

 | | Black Dahlia (Widescreen) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | | The Black Dahlia By: Edward Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/28/2006 10:21 PM | | I think it is time for Brian De Palma to give up on directing and just become a cameraman. His recent slate of films ending with the just released on DVD The Black Dahlia have two shared characteristics, wonderful cinematography and confusing hole-filled plots. For whatever reason De Palma seems unable to combine some beautifully composed shots with a coherent story and good performances. read the full review | |

It's always satisfying when a movie defies an obvious formula and delivers something better. Freedom Writers is the first such surprise of 2007, a genuinely touching entry in a genre that often wallows in cliché: a motivational teacher inspiring a group of troubled kids. The list in this category is long, and the quality broad, ranging from To Sir, with Love (Sidney Poitier straightens up hooligans) to Sunset Park (Rhea Perlman coaches hoops!). Instead of sliding into pitfalls of predictability, writer Richard LaGravenese (The Fisher King, Beloved), who also directs, relies on straight, unforced dialogue delivered by a fine cast. read the full review | |
