Despite what was happening with the director around the time of its
release, I have to say that this film was made perfectly. The acting,
the script, the direction, the cinematography and the editing, which
made the film, is all fantastic. Watching this film was a pleasure
because of how well made it was although I cannot give it a higher
score because I felt, and other pe...

I just got back from seeing "The Men Who Stare at Goats" at the
Woodstock Film Festival. I walked in knowing the main plot, and I
expected it to be pretty good because of the great actors it has, the
premise of the story and the music used in the soundtrack. My
expectations weren't only met, but they were greatly exceeded.The story follows a broken-hearted journalist (McGregor...

I usually never review films on IMDb. I will try my best to be direct
but not harsh. "Amelia" is quite possibly the most expensive mistake
made in the film world today, and made it was, for the worst reasons.
It's one thing to tackle an interpretation of a historical figure, and
another to depict it. David Lean once said that a director must be very
careful not to turn seq...

Tom Hanks returns as Dan Brown's symbologist Robert Langdon in his
first adventure Angels & Demons, which Hollywood decided to make after
The Da Vinci Code, given the latter's more controversial subject
striking a raw nerve on the faith itself. The Catholic Church was up in
arms over the first film, but seemingly nonchalant about this one. And
it's not hard to se...

This cod mockney melodrama from the director of Bridget Jones Diary
fails at every level. It's clearly a film involving working class
characters made by middle class people with both characters and plot
lacking any authenticity and credibility whatsoever. In fact, the basic
premise of Bridget Jones is transposed to this disastrous attempt at
making a serious drama. Instead ...

Two things to say about this film.Firstly, what an astoundingly rubbish title for a movie. "Deception"???
Oh, come on. Can you think of a more non-committal, less interesting,
less imaginative title for a movie? I can't. All thrillers are about
deception, of one kind or another."Deception" originally went into production under the title "The List".
Hmm... Well... OK. I admit it...

Hotels in California and an everyday of losing and losing. An
opportunity with a huge catch attached to it and, of course, the
inexorable is waiting. Crisp, fast dialogue. Excellent performances by
Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrel as the brothers, a...

I was at the World premiere in London and I was apprehensive about
watching a film adaptation of a book as some of them work and others
don't. This one definitely does. From the first minutes of the film,
you know that you're in for a thrilling adventure. Alex Rider, played
superbly by Alex Pettyfer, is very believable as a school kid thrown

Scenes of a Sexual Nature is a very intelligent and subtle film. It is
skilfully crafted, beautifully shot and with superb acting. Only the
most jaded and cynical could fail to appreciate this film – the best
film I have seen so far this year.It is film that has many twists and turns, some more obvious than
others, but even the obvious twists are still enjoyable. Not a lot

It's hard to comment on this film without including a spoiler, but I
feel it is necessary to try because of all of the unwarranted bad
reviews this film is receiving. If you go into it expecting to see a
rendition of The 6th Sense, you might be disappointed. If you go into
it expecting to see a logical plot with a chronological story behind it

I worked at Eworks when I first saw the trailer for "The Island." I
wasn't blown away by the trailer and neither was anyone I worked with,
mainly because we couldn't figure out what the hell the movie was
about. Several trailers and TV spots later, I still felt the same way
about it. The only thing about the film that interested me was the
cast. I really like Scarlett Johansson...

I often find that in order to be captivating, a film these days needs to
be
stressfully suspenseful or have a complicated story line. This film had
neither, and yet I found myself hoping it wouldn't end while at the same
time, anxiously awaiting its conclusion. I have to admit, I was
distrustful
of Burton as many of his more recent films have had less-than-satisfying

I have seen Moulin Rouge at least 25 times. I think it is the most
extraordinary movie of my generation and breaks every limit set by the
industry. I have heard all the traditional complaints...people didn't
like
the music, the editing was too swift, or it wasn't "their taste". Moulin
Rouge took a risk. A risk films like A Beautiful Mind and Shakespeare in
Love don't. ...

When talking about war movies, there are many great ones that
immediately spring to mind. Since the 70's, three of them have
formed a bit of a holy trinity: Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse
Now, Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, and Steven Spielberg's
Saving Private Ryan. These three movies have set the bar for all
other war movies that have come along since then. When it w...

Of course this movie had a ton of hype and what movie can live up to
all
of that....yada yada yada. Even allowing for that, this movie is somewhat

a dissapointment. This movie proves that it wasn't just special FX that

"Star Wars" fun to watch. It was as if George Lucas was so thrilled with
what he could do with CGI effects, he forgot what made the original

illogical and the first time through watching it normally, I was
