I am always hesitant when movies come out in January or February. The
Oscar buzz is about last year's performances and the summer
blockbusters are still five months away. So, when movies come out this
time of the year there is a distinct possibility that the movie is
going to have a weak story line and sub par acting. This is not the
case with "The Book of Eli." For a Janu...

ou don't get me containing my excitement too much for American action
films. I see a name like John Woo, Chow Yun-Fat, Jet Li or Jackie Chan
on a movie poster and I break into hives with anticipation. What makes
these American films better or more appealing than their Bollywood
counterparts you ask? Well, first and foremost is the style. Our
friends from fifty states ...

Greetings again from the darkness. For some reason, I keep thinking
director Tony Scott will re-capture his magic of "Crimson Tide".
Instead, he thrives on being the center of attention, rather than
letting the story and characters unfold on screen. How he mangles the
great cat-and-mouse game of the original "Taking of Pelham One Two
Three" is pure torture to watch.In the origi...

Although "The Great Debaters" does not open until Christmas, I had the
good fortune of seeing it at a preview -- and I can recommend it
without reservation. It is a great story, based on real events that
most of us never heard of, about a debating team from Wiley College, a
small black institution in rural Texas, that performs extraordinary
feats because the kids are good and t...

American Gangster has been really hated upon in many of the former
posts I have read. Yet it seems like they are all saying the same
thing, that Gangster didn't have enough action and was really drawn
out. Anyone who has every seen a Ridley Scott film will know that his
films are long! Blade Runner, A Good Year, Matchstick Men, Hannibal,
Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, G.I. Jan...

Note: I stay away from describing the plot in any detail because it
would be very hard to do so without spoiling elements of it. "Inside
Man" starts out as a no holds barred, high octane action-thriller, and
by its midpoint fully transforms into a breezy, tongue-in-cheek heist
movie, reminiscent of The Sting. I felt it to be a little over-plotted,
but that comes with the genre ...

(SPOILERS for both the original and the remake) This was not a bad movie on its own terms. Good cast, stylish direction
by Jonathan Demme (though now in his trademark style: huge close-ups of
people looking right at the camera), some nice suspense. But everything – and I mean everything – that made the original
'Manchurian Candidate' an unforgettable classic has been forcibly...

Certainly one of the finest movies I have seen for quite some time.
Exquisite direction and flawless acting make this a very entertaining
and often moving film. Denzel Washington plays one of his most engaging
and emotional roles to date, and the rest of the cast perform
beautifully. Christopher Walken is of course superb in his part
although he did not appear as often as I wou...

This is the ONLY movie I've ever been moved to write about. I rarely
even watch movies let alone offer opinions, but this movie is
exceptional in so many ways. The acting is powerful and believable
(duh.. it's real..), and the entire story is totally captivating. I was
watching on satellite and had to endure commercials, and it was sheer
torture waiting for the movie to resume....

Highly under-rated and ignored by most in 2002, "John Q" is one of those
movies that is sometimes too intelligent for a viewing public unfamiliar
with topics never really thought about in common societal circles (health
care and insurance policies, rights of blue-collar citizens, media
exploitation, law enforcement practices and over-paid medical specialists).

I wasn't going to comment, but after reading some of the negative comments,
I felt I must. I "waited for the video" for this movie because a movie about
boxing didn't seem interesting. But that's just the thing. It's not about
boxing. So if you're thinking you're going to see Raging Bull, you're not.
There are a few boxing scenes, but they only serve to move the story along.I have ...

Fallen is not your typical suspense film. There is very little gore, a
clever plot, gorgeous cinematography...but it all adds up to the scariest
movie I've ever seen. Why? It plays with your mind. The horror is confined
to your brain and not shown onscreen. Some people will (and do) hate this
film; it eschews graphic storytelling for a visual, intellectual approach.

I remember hearing about this film before its release. It had caught a
great deal of flack for its use of Arabs and Muslims in particular as
violent extremists. Even at that time I knew that the protests against
this
film were nothing more than politically correct nonsense, as even then
the
only trans-oceanic terrorists that existed were of the fake-Muslim
variety

I recently watched this movie for the first time, and as a 19 year old
black male it spoke to me. However, I can see this being a film that
everyone can appreciate. Especially now, with Lebron James and other
upcoming HS athletes, you really see the other side of life that only
they know.This movie detailed the life of the #1 basketball star in HS, and the
issues he deals with ...

This was really something else. It was very bad, but damn, I got such a kick
out of it. Russell played his role to the hilt.
My favorite scene was when the investigator people were talking and they
said, "Sid is evolving." Another one of them asked, "Into what?". Cut to Sid
doing a cocky sort of walk down the street while decked out in a pair of
shades and while "Staying Alive...

the heart of a black lawyer ha hates and has to deal with his ghost.

even better. Of course it provides lots of funny moments and the two actors
