I went to the midnight show last night and was completely blown away !!
I am 30 years old and had begun reading the Amazing Spider-Man back
when I was 11 and leaving the theater last night, I felt like I was a
kid again- I was amazed, I was in awe, I really felt... satisfied.Every scene crackled. There was an energy, there was an effort put into
every moment of the movie. No scene ...

Having seen the trailers for this film I have to say that I didn't walk
into
the cinema with high hopes. The computer effects looked badly integrated,
the Green Goblin's costume looked awful and comic book adaptations usually
have such painful scripting and plotting. Thankfully I was wrong on most
counts (The Goblin still looks rubbish).As it turns out, this is probably the bes...

The crucial thing for anyone reviewing a movie is to give every movie
viewed a chance; to overcome misgivings arising from the fact that the
first-time director seemingly has no track record in either TV or
movies; to ignore the fact that between them the co-writers had, prior
to this effort, and over a period of thirty years, notched up a grand
total of two previous writing cr...

I can't help but agree with most of the other comments: the sloppy
production values, the scenes "borrowed" from better movies, the countless
anachronisms, the distracting subplot about Lt. Garth and his Japanese
girlfriend, and so on. But for me, this movie has two strong points in
its
favor. One, when they get around to the actual battle, they follow the
history with s...

I don't think there's a better movie describing today's atmosphere in
America and you can easily forget Escape From New York cause its
political themes are pretty much restrained. Also Escape From L.A. is
kind of timeless in a way that it satirizes all what America is known
for, from motorcycle gangs, hookers, Hollywood agents, face-lifts,
politics, freedom, violence TO implied...

This is a feel good movie, not very deep BUT well conceived, written
and acted. DeVito is excellent as a failing marketing man being
transformed into a thoughtful, caring army educator. As important is
the film's excellent presentation and discussion of the works of
Shakespeare.No surprise, DeVito's self centered abrasiveness meets with antipathy.

One thing is for certain - you will either hate this film, especially if you
can't stand the sea, boats and wind, or, if you like any of these,
especially if you like _all_ of them, you will love it. Admittedly it has a
simple, proven plot, gives short shrift to the history of the America's Cup
and features a rather non-describt cast - but the film does have superior

BURT REYNOLDS has made some bad movies. He is a god, but nonetheless, has
made bad movies.
MALONE (1987) is not one these.
It is a update of the old 'SHANE' genre, that continues to enthrall
audiences today. The plot being; Gunslinger hangs up guns, moves to new
town, finds that he can't hang up guns....and kills every bad guy in
shooting or fighting distance. Simple>

his senior year of high school. He comes from a working-class

Everyone knows this was Natalie Wood's last film, and that some of her
scenes were filmed after her death with a stand-in you only see from
behind. Director Dondald Trumball, best known for his special effects
work in Blade Runner, Close Enounters, and Star Trek, chose this time
to build his story on plot and character development, a good choice
given the enormous talent he...

Three Days of the Condor is a classic spy thriller with a bit of a twist, it
takes place inside the U.S.A. There are no flashy locales, no super-hero
types, and no ultra-menacing bad guys who spew cheesy dialogue; instead, we
have a common man (Robert Redford) battling for his life in an uncommon
situation. This is similar to Alfred Hitchcock's North By Northwest in its
theme ...

This movie is a personal one for me. I was a high school student at
George Dewey H.S., Subic Bay, Philippines from 1968-70. My buddies and
I were extras in the movie when it was made out there. We would cut
classes and our principal would come out to the movie set to take our
names down. We got in trouble when we got back, but this was a once in
a lifetime deal. We were paid $1...

I saw this movie as an American kid growing up in England in the early
1970's. It absolutely captivated me, as it did my 9 year old English
schoolmates. The musical score still resonates to this day, as do the
magnificent scenes of those twin Merlin powered Mosquitos. As a movie, its
got its share of flaws, but as a piece of aviation memorabilia, let it live
forever! Along with...

role. Coming from Broadway he brought a very strong presence to the

William Inge had his finger on the pulse of small town America. He
wasn't checking the heartbeats of its inhabitants but his own. I've
just said that as if I knew all about it and I don't, but I sense it. I
mean, "Splendor In The Grass", "The Dark At The Top Of The Stairs",
"Come Back Little Sheeba" That's all the evidence we need to know that
he was a male writer with a woman'...
