As the Bourne series raises the bar for action films, and audiences
balk at two-plus hour runtimes, the filmmakers of Vantage Point seem
like they are trying to bring a fresh, new, unconventional take on the
action/thriller genre. Though it may annoy some people, I felt the new
take turns Vantage Point into a taut terrorist thriller.The new take or approach is jumping right into th...

I love ensemble dramas. Especially when they have the whole "stranger's
lives intertwined" thing going on. However, as much as I enjoyed this
film, it is not for everyone. It is slow and heavy, but I can't find much wrong with it. There were a
couple of scenes that were poorly developed or written, maybe. All in
all, if you're like me, and you like superbly acted and di...

This would have worked really really well, pretty charming indie, good
solid values, great, great supporting cast, neat feel and a good take
on the lazier side of American small town life....The plot is simple: uptight law student meets a down-on-his-luck
ex-Olympic skier bum and together with the bum's friends, the law
student learns about life... nothing stunning but sounds ...

People can be divided into two categories: Those who like Wes Anderson
movies, and those who don't. I know this is not an actual Wes Anderson
movie, for the record.There are people who laugh at situations, and people who laugh at lines
and actions. This movie will only seem a comedy to the former: the Wes
Anderson/Coen Brothers crowd. I'm not one of these people. I didn&#...

Call it the Arctic Documentary, meets Alive!, meets Jurassic 'Horror'

beginning to end, rather unexpectedly with really good results.This movie is about an oil research team in the remote reaches of the
Alaskan Arctic, trying to see just how feasible oil drilling is,
weighing the environmental unkno...

Catch That Kid, an enjoyable movie for the whole family? I think so. The
story is about a young girl named Maddy, a tomboy who loves climbing. Her
parents, however, have forbidden her to climb due to an accident her
father
had had which seriously injured his back. Though he had apparently
recovered, something goes wrong which leaves him paralyzed from the neck
down. Ma...

I recently saw a special screening of "Straight Into Darkness" at the
Italian Institute of Culture as part of the "Best of the Milan Film
Festival" series. The title is very appropriate -- disturbing and thought
provoking, the film takes the audience straight into the darkness,
violence
and brutality of war. The actors are terrific, most notably Scott
MacDonald
as Dem...

Unfortunately, the few other reviewers were expecting Caddyshack or
something. This is a Black Comedy, and it is very good. The scenes are
quick and engaging. The actors are well suited for their characters.
The Duncan brothers could have their own sequel. Christopher Walken is
very sly and humorous, shaking his castanetta's while trying to solve a
murder. If it was not made aw...

by this films writer/director/producer Skip Woods) this is a good film. It

SINGLES is a charming, romantic movie and one of Cameron Crowe's best. An oft-heard criticism of this film is that it's not an authentic portrayal
of the Gen-X culture of the early 90's, but I've yet to see that done well
in any film.More importantly, the film never claims to be a Gen-X film. It's set in
Seattle during the height of Seattle Sound but the cast is made up of driven

This is a period picture that takes place in 1971, but there are no
references to Vietnam, the flower power movement, Kent State or any other
issues or events of the day. This is because the characters have nothing to
do with that world. Bob's thoughts revolve around drugstores like planets
around the sun. His family of dope thieves lives in almost total isolation.

In the tradition of other horror movie franchises, Phantasm takes the
action route for this sequel. The horror and sci-fi are still there but
there's more combat, stuff blowing-up and gore than there was before. I
suppose it does keep things fresh but it does get a bit too
tongue-in-cheek sometimes. Kinda like Evil Dead II, I'm not sure if
this really fits in with the tone set ...
