Movie Review
Grade: A+
There is no real reason for me to write a review about "To Kill a Mockingbird," one of the finest films of all time. In fact, to say it is a timeless classic is an understatement. So, instead, I will leave it at that and instead focus on the 2-disc "Legacy Series" Special Edition DVD set that has recently been released. Read the full movie review

To Kill a Mockingbird, by lomanro
October 28, 2005
As a fan of Harper Lee's classic book, I found this film to be a complete disappointment--especially considering all the hype it's received since its release. Gregory Peck does a good job as Atticus, but the director's adaptation of Scout, Jem, and Dill are poor. Also, some of my favorite scenes from the book were not included in the movie. The great reviews that this movie has received are a puzzle to me.
