Hugh Jackman had a great time as host of this year's Academy awards,
and so did we. His joy was infectious. The staging and set up is
probably one of the best I've seen in all my years of watching these
shows. The pre-show done by Jackman and Anne Hathaway was passable, but
the whole production came across as so real and human, it astounded us.

It's with great joy I watched THE ORDER. Easily Jean-Claude Van Damme's best
film since Universal Soldier (1992). The author Les Weldon also wrote
Replicant (2001), where he also uses lots of clich...

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...

Corp. Productions) he also stars in this exciting movie made for TNT
television. Working along with famed Charlton Heston & James Coburn, Tom's

Biggest problem with most action movies is that they take themselves
way too serious. "True Lies" is mainly fun and entertaining and on top
of that, the action is top class!Finally a movie of which I can say: "Budget well spend!" The action
really jumps off the screen but it never feels overdone or forced,
which is thanks to action-director veteran James Cameron. He should

TOMBSTONE, one of two epic westerns about Wyatt Earp released within a few
months of each other (1993-94) lacks the lyrical, 'warts-and-all' quality
of
Kevin Costner's WYATT EARP, but is a more successful film, with tighter
pacing, more clearly drawn characters, and a reverence to the genre that
has
made it the most popular Western of the last twenty years.From the opening ...

Shiver-me-timbers, this is the best version of the Robert Louis
Stevenson classic! In fact it is a model of cinematic adaptation.
Closely following the book, with whole scenes and dialogue taken
straight from its pages, the film never bogs down into the kind of
stuffy lifelessness that sometimes afflicts adaptations attempting to
be faithful to their literary source. Indeed Fra...

This was Eddie Robinson's 101st film and his last,
and he died of cancer nine days after shooting was complete.
All of which makes his key scene in the movie all the more
poignant.Although some of the hair and clothing styles are a bit dated
(also
note the video game shown in the film), but the subject of the
film
is pretty much timeless. Heston said he had wanted to

People knock this film. Yes it has many flaws but some slack should be
cut. It was 1971, Hollywood was in a desperate time of recession and
change. 'Easy Rider' had blown a hole in the side of the school of
thought that the studios had subscribed to. Suddenly, story material
that would never have been tackled by the major studios prior to this
time was emerging.'The Omega Man' ...

Beneath was the best Planet of the Apes film bar none. Everything was bigger
and better this time around: bigger sets, more gorillas, the whole of New
York instead of a mere Statue of Liberty, and, best of all, faceless,
telepathic mutants than can kill with the mind. Yes, I was once ten years
old.Watched again with many years of hindsight, it's clear that, while

If you're under 20 years of age this flick is going to look a little
strange to you. There are no super-women wielding swords in battle,
very little profanity, and the only sex is in PG form. Made in 1965,
The Warlord is an accusing yet romantic look at medieval Europe. It's
no Disney movie, but you could still take the whole family to see it.The cast is first rate. Forget El Cid. ...

As someone who had read the Bible and knows what goes where, I am
easily critical of too-Liberal Biblical movies, which is usually the
case....except for the last 40-some years when hardly any films were
made on this subject at all.My point is that this film gets toasted a lot, even by Christians, and
I think unfairly. Yes, I became a bit annoyed the first few viewings

In 1961 Anthony Mann's epic tale of the Spanish hero "El Cid" burst across
the wide screens of theatres. This was the kind of film that 70mm was made
for. Charlton Heston is Rodrigo de Bivar, and Sophia Loren is his legendary
love, Chimene. Their course of love will not be a smooth one. When he kills
her father as a matter of honor, she vows vengeance and sets in motion the

I own over 2,000 movies on DVD or VHS. I have gone to many many more
movies that have not been worthy of my collection, thus my exposure to
film has been extensive. I mention this because through every film I
have seen; I still come back to a film from 1959 as the greatest
achievement in cinematic history. I have seen great films like: Return

Seldom have I seen so many comments with so little understanding. The movie
is not about Heston's "Mexican-ness" or lack of it. The movie is not about
the 5 or 8 or 10 minute opening shot. The movie is not even, god help us,
about Welles' descent from the heights into "slumming it" in a "Grade B"
flick.The movie is about two things : film-making, and character. Every shot worth
