I usually don't write reviews on imdb. But I wanted to in this case after
reading so many
user comments for "Session 9". I think it's a shame that film audiences
today have
become so lazy. Here is a film that displays artistry, subtlety, and
intelligence, relying
on the viewer to actually use their brain instead of be bombarded by
useless
imagery.
This truly ...

In the 60's, Alan Quimp (Douglas McGrath) is a school teacher of English
grammar and married with the very demanding woman Daisy Quimp (Sigourney
Weaver). In order to avoid the constant mockery in Daisy's family, Alan says
that he is a secret CIA agent. Daisy tells everybody, the CIA acknowledges
the lie, but due to a coincidence, Alan has just helped and hidden the

True, there are some goofs, for the one who wants to find them. They're
not important, though.The primary feature of this film is watching veteran expert actors do
their craft. Kristin Scott Thomas is beautiful and plays well the part
of a strong woman, but one who has been hurt. Same for Harrison Ford,
who, for the ladies, is just as beau as Kristin is belle for us guys.Their hurt...

This is really a film that got me moved, amazed and demanded empathy without
much effort. Joanou hasn't been my all time favourite director, but he
managed to get himself at my list of favourites at once (along with Stone,
Wenders & Luhrman). First of all, the story and the way it was brought
pulled the right emotional strings with me. Above that, the fact that Joanou

The much under-rated Primary Colors represents the zenith of its genre:
a consistently excellent political satire armed with a stellar cast, an
involving, intricate plot, and some of the finest direction in recent
times from the sporadic (yet always reliable) Mike Nichols. John
Travolta's portrayal of a Clinton-esquire Southern governor with a
weakness for women and doughnuts i...

L.A. Confidential is, without a doubt, the best film of the 1990s, and
quite
possibly one of the best films ever made.As with any great film, it all starts with the writing. The story is
riveting, the dialogue is smart and quite funny, and the characters are
written in three dimensions.The acting is phenomenal. Perhaps a bigger tragedy than L.A.
Confidential's
loss to Tit...

This is definitely one of those films that grabs a hold of

direction and Mel Gibson giving perhaps the performance of
his
career make this film worth seeing.Those of us who have

...the flop that deserves six of its Razzies and the nomination for
Worst Picture of the Decade?I think, "Striptease" (1996) directed by Andrew Bergman based on the
book by Carl Hiaasen, is all of the above - a curious mixture of
laughs, satire, absurdism, darkness, silliness, and over-seriousness.
The latter comes from Demi Moore who plays Erin Grant, the FBI

I guess you could call this a "neo-noir," which is a modern-day film
noir. It has that atmosphere, especially in New Orleans which seems to
always been pictured on the seamy side in films. After the devastation
that took place there last year, perhaps filmmakers will kinder to the
city in future movies. Anyway, a seedy New Orleans, some good blues music and five

I just watched this movie again, after having seen it twice before in
1996-97. It hasn't held up particularly well. It steals a lot from
Hitchcock (the "I had the dream again" key phrase from "Rebecca", the
superficial psychoanalysis from "Marnie", the setting of the climax
from "Vertigo"), but Phil Joanou's direction is, for the most part,
static. The two leads, Gere and Basin...

True Colors is an intelligently plotted drama that never insults your
intelligence. John Cusack is excellent as Peter Burton, a man with an
amazing knack to manipulate people. James Spader is also excellent as Tim
Gerrity, who becomes Burton's best friend. Not a moment of this movie is
wasted, nor a single line of dialog. We see Burton advance his political
career by hook a...

Wes Craven's "The Serpent and the Rainbow" is one of the more original
and ambitious horror movies to come out of the '80s. Not only does it
seek to reconnect cinematic zombies with their voodoo roots, ala
classics like "White Zombie", but it also uses the creation of zombies
as a political allegory. The film is set in Haiti during the last days
of the dictatorship of "Baby Doc...

I finally saw this sequel and it was better than what many people say.
Murphy has some very hilarious moments and Reinhold and Ashton were just
as
good. Also, the action scene's were decent too, though the chase with
the
cement truck was'nt as good as the chase in the first with the transport
truck. I did notice that the film lacked the freshness of the first one

Considered one of the most notorious box-office flops in history (next to
the 'Road to Morocco'-ripoff 'Ishtar' with Dustin Hoffman and Warren
Beatty
the following year), 'Howard the Duck' became the laughing stock of
critics
and movie-goers alike when it was released in theaters in 1986. If its
executive producer, George Lucas, had his way, he would have canned that

It was only in his third film, "Apache," that Aldrich's assured grasp
of genre and liberal sensibilities came to the fore in a sympathetic
but never maudlin portrait of an Indian alienated from both white
America and his own kind...Based upon the Novel "Bronco Apache" by Paul I. Wellman, the film
relates the story of the last Apache warrior Massai following

Maxwell Anderson's classic play is reduced to a 77 minute running time but
the result is one of the tightest, tensest films to come out of the early
talkie era. Acting ranges from excellent to outstanding (Burgess Meredith
recreates his stage role). Although the film deservedly earned Oscar noms
for Art Direction and Score, it excels most in its black and white
cinematography...
