If aliens exist, and if they have access to the films made from Earth,
they would likely make a mental note to remind themselves that should
they visit our planet on terms other than a hostile takeover or
annihilation, to avoid landing in the USA at all costs. Hollywood has
enough dough to continuously churn out effects laden science-fiction
movies, and most of them are big bud...

Pettigrew finds her self swept up into, and where she lives her day…to

Starring: Ryan Phillippe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rob Brown, Channing Tatum, Victor Rasuk, ...

I'm a sergeant in the army and have served 2 tours in Iraq and am
preparing to go a third time in December. This film was irresponsible
and not balanced in it's portrayal. First off every single soldier has
an 8 year commitment. However long your initial enlistment is (3,4
years etc) you then serve the remainder of your time as part of the IRR
(indivdual ready reserve)....

Still wondering about the reviews above that insult this film's
animation. I thought it looked terrific. (For the record, nearly every
professional critic I could find singled out the film's strong
visuals.) The character differentiation is very strong in the mice &
rats -- and all that tender-loving detail in Ratworld and Mouseworld!
You'd have to watch the movie 6...

Genres: Drama    Romance    Mystery   

Starring: Jamie Bell, Ruth Milne, John Paul Lawler, Claire Forlani, Lucy Holt, ...

Years on from his success in Billy Elliott, it's great to see Jamie
Bell being given a vehicle to show that he has the genuine talent to
carry a film. Hallam Foe is a fine British production; quirky,
disturbing, funny, interesting, thought-provoking and consistently
well-shot and soundtracked. At the same time, it's a little gimmicky,
heavily-influenced (Trainspotting, ...

I just saw Margot at the Wedding at the Telluride Film Festival. My
first reaction was that I liked it, but not as much as The Squid and
the Whale. My friends and I started talking about it afterwards though
and we ended up staying up nearly all night talking about it. It has
some funny moments but it is DEFINITELY not a true comedy. It is one of
darkest films I've seen in ...

Genres: Drama    Family   

Starring: Keisha Castle-Hughes, Oscar Isaac, Hiam Abbass, Shaun Toub, Ciarán Hinds, ...

This is no low budget made for TV, direct to DVD, or "preaching to the
choir" type film. Quite the contrary. Like Mel Gibson's The Passion,
The Nativity Story delivers the quality acting, cinematography, musical
score, special effects, direction, sound, production, etc. we've grown
accustomed to receiving from the most skillful members of the Motion
Picture industry.I w...

Genres: Comedy    Crime    Drama    Mystery    Thriller   

Starring: Brendan Gleeson, Kim Cattrall, Ciarán Hinds, Sinéad Cusack, Sean McGinley, ...

I have read some of the different opinions here and I concede that some
of the points made could be relevant to this film. Most modern films do
very little for me (I've been filmgoing since the 1950's) but I really
enjoyed this film immensely with the possible exception of the way the
"situation" was resolved in the end. However, most people could
probably think of a hu...

Genres: Action    Crime    Drama    Thriller   

Starring: Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Li Gong, Naomie Harris, Ciarán Hinds, ...

Due to Michael Mann's track record it was hard to go into this movie
without very high expectations. After all, we are talking about the
creator of arguably the greatest crime drama/thriller ever made with
"Heat", as well as the highly entertaining "Collateral". But "Miami
Vice" fails to live up to Mann's past success in the crime genre.The plot is completely ordinary and d...

Starring: Ioan Gruffudd, Romola Garai, Benedict Cumberbatch, Albert Finney, Michael Gambon, ...

I saw this film on October 10th, 2006 in Indianapolis. I am one of the
judges for the Heartland Film Festival's Truly Moving Picture Award. A
Truly Moving Picture "…explores the human journey by artistically
expressing hope and respect for the positive values of life." Heartland
gave that award to this film.This is an inspiring story based on a legendary historical British...

Genres: Drama    History    Thriller   

Starring: Eric Bana, Daniel Craig, Ciarán Hinds, Mathieu Kassovitz, Hanns Zischler, ...

This movie relates more than just a story of "Vengeance". Besides
proving that killing begets killing - it consists of numerous fine
details that reveal the hard work done at getting to the depth of
things:For instance, only characters that get shot in the head slump to the
ground. The rest take time to die - they walk a few steps, spurt blood
and express a look of helplessness...

Starring: Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson, Minnie Driver, ...

I went to see this film with my best friend yesterday and I asked her
what she thought of the film and she said "That was the worst film i've
ever seen" I turned to her and saw she was blubbing her eyes out(she
was being sarcastic).This film was AMAZING!It looked gorgeous, the singing for some reason has been slated a lot by
critics but I thought the singing was wonderful and every...

"The Statement" deserves far better ratings than critics have given
it.
In the first place, it's NOT about an ex-Nazi in flight. It's about a
French collaborator, the Vichy Government, France's failure to confront the
role its officials -- some still in power -- played in the Holocaust, and
the efforts of right wingers in the Catholic Church to shelter the
collaborator. ...

Genres: Biography    Crime    Drama    Thriller   

Starring: Cate Blanchett, Gerard McSorley, Ciarán Hinds, Brenda Fricker, Don Wycherley, ...

Cate Blanchett has done it again - played someone you can't take your
eyes off of, and not because she's a classic beauty but she's just a
good actress and plays such intense roles. Here, she's the
single-minded outraged Irish reporter out to expose the drug
trafficking in Ireland in the mid 1990s. Yes, it's based on a real
person, a very real Veronica Guerin, who took her life...

Genres: Action    Adventure    Fantasy    Thriller   

Starring: Angelina Jolie, Gerard Butler, Ciarán Hinds, Chris Barrie, Noah Taylor, ...

Angelina Jolie returns as a distaff Indiana Jones in "Lara Croft Tomb
Raider: Cradle of Life," an action/adventure film (based on a video
game character) that is just goofy enough and inane enough to be almost
entertaining.In this follow-up adventure - which is designed to give historians and
social studies teachers a severe case of the heebie-jeebies - Lara, the
world-famous a...

I've been getting a little tired of the computer-enhanced extravaganzas that
have been flung at viewers over the past few years. You know what I'm
talking about--the movies that are short on plot, acting or both which are
bolstered up by loud FX and revolutionary digital animation so that it
becomes "special effects in search of a picture". I'm delighted to say that

Road to Perdition, a movie undeservedly overlooked at that year Oscars
is the second work of Sam Mendes (and in my opinion his best work), a
director who three years before won Oscar for his widely acclaimed but
controversial American Beauty. This is a terrific movie, and at the
same time ultimately poignant and sad.It's a story of a relatively wealthy and happy family from outward...

Genres: Mystery    Thriller    Drama   

Starring: Ciarán Hinds, Richard Donat, Sarah Polley, Ulrich Thomsen, Anders W. Berthelsen, ...

This movie could be an excellent film, having a great cast and budget,
photography and soundtrack, but it does not work well. Why? Because of the
confused screenplay and a terrible and even pretentious direction. There are
two stories, one of them excellent. In 1873, two women are ax murdered in an
isolated island in New Hampshire. A man is accused of the crime by the
survival,...

Genres: Drama    Horror    Thriller   

Starring: Julia Roberts, John Malkovich, George Cole, Michael Gambon, Kathy Staff, ...

This has to be one of the most maligned films of the past couple of years;
it's virtually shoved under the carpet every time Julia Robert's career is
mentioned and it's generally dismissed as a bore. And in a lot of ways, it
IS boring; not a lot happens during the course of the plot and as a horror
film it utterly fails to provide a sense of urgency and fright in the
conventio...

I originally watched this movie to see Ciaran Hinds (the college
professor)
who was wonderful in a supporting role.I love this movie. It is so powerful in its simplicity. The actors were
so
embracable in their portrayals as young adults in the 50's with all the
sexual taboos. The scenery is grand!I watch this movie at least once a month and have recommended it to many
fri...

Genres:

To deal with the spoiler at once - if it is one - and then have done
with it: to intensify the realism of the film most of the figures have
to speak their local northern dialect, which makes it rather difficult
to understand for foreigners as myself. (And on the DVD there are no
subtitles.) This is a pity as the description of a nation going through
an economic depression is ve...

Imagine the universe as a restaurant. The parking lot is the world. The
kitchen is purgatory. The ladies's room is heaven. The dining room is
hell. Hell is ruled over by Albert Spica, (Satan) excellently played by
Michael Gobon. Dante is Michael (Alan Howard) a cataloger of French
books. Beatrice, Dante's perfect woman, Georgina Spica (Helen Mirren)
