This is by so far the funniest movie of all time, and for all the wrong
reasons. And here's just a few examples why: - When the baby is born,
he is launched quarter-back style from the womb into the arms of a
running doctor - A boy with a flatulence problem is best friends with a
child-genius who happens to have no sense of smell, named Alan A. Alan
- He travels around the ...

I'd really love to hear a "Mission Statement" from the producers of
this latest batch of Poirot episodes (and the Marples for that matter).
I would have given them the benefit of the doubt if Taken At The Flood
had been done right, but the changes made make the films utterly
pointless. I was disappointed too by Cards On The Table as it started
so well, and the character of Mrs ...

I almost missed this one because I was turned off by the commercials
and previews, with their emphasis on the silliest parts (the dancing
donkey, etc.). What a mistake that would have been -- I'd have missed
one of the driest, archest, loveliest scripts in years. Emma Thompson
can do more with a slightly quirked eyebrow and a quiet "Hm" than most
actresses can with an entire Sh...

I saw this film today at the Toronto International Film Festival and I
really liked it. I was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected plot (it
didn't match my expectations based on the mini summary I read prior to
seeing the film)....I won't elaborate since it will spoil the film for
others. The only reason I give a 9 rating instead of 10 is that there
were a few unrealistic and...

Richard E. Grant's mostly autobiographical film tells the story of a
boy growing up in Swaziland amidst the end of British colonisation, his
parents' harrowing divorce and his father's destructive alcoholism.Before the film I was promised it would make me cry, laugh and be
totally delighted with what I saw.The tears come from some very moving moments between Ralph (Nicholas

First, the positives – Colin and Hugh are still hitting their marks.
Even though he might not know why, Mark positively adores Bridget.
Colin gets that and twinkles, melts and warms in all the right places.
Same goes for Daniel– he's drawn to his Bridge for some inexplicable
reason. Hugh Grant really ought to be looking for a patent for that
mojo he works so well. All...

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

Finney adds yet another stupendous role to his acting credits. He plays
Churchill warts and all, wisdom and all. Vanessa Redgrave is stunning
as Mrs. Churchill. Finney and Redgrave, between the two, portray an
interesting, intimate and wholly plausible complexity of their marriage
and homelife. This, adding a major league cast of the Best of Britain,

It may be somewhat sacrilegious to admit this, but I actually prefer
this production to the David Lean classic. That is an admission however
that I do not take lightly, the Lean version having left an indelible
impression on my younger life and the beautiful Lara's Theme having
haunted me since I first saw the original version on television back in
the 1980s. No, when I sat dow...

As a huge fan of the books, I had incredibly high expectations of the movie.
In order for the movie to work for me, it had to capture Bridget's
plucky-heroine character and the hilarious-poignant emotions that are in the
book. Needless to say, `Bridget Jones's Diary' the movie worked very, very,
very well. Although Helen Fielding also wrote the screenplay (w/ Richard
Curtis,...

We are great buffs of A Christmas Carol in our household, and watch
almost every version faithfully each Christmas, including the old 1938
Reginald Owen and the 1984 George C. Scott. Our overall favourite is
the 1951 black and white tale starring Alastair Sim, because for me,
Sim IS Ebeneezer Scrooge, his conversion the most believable. However,
this modern version has its own ...

Films as intelligent and well crafted as this are hard to come by. `Hilary
and Jackie' is an exceptionally well done character study of two real life
sisters. Jackie (Emily Watson) is a world-class cellist and Hilary (Rachel
Griffiths) lives a normal middle class life. The story is rich in character
development depicting the sisters starting from their childhood when both

When this first came out, almost a decade ago, I thought it was the
best job I had seen of making miniature people look real. This showed
how far technology had come in films and now, of course, we see a lot
more amazing special effects.It was fun to view how these "borrowers" moved about, using ordinary
household items to propel themselves around a normal-sized house. It's

I nearly spit out my teeth when I saw how low Frankenstein (94) score was.
This film is quite simply spectacular! It goes in the same category as From
Hell, they are both too sophisticated and beautiful to be JUST horror films.
The cleverness of this film and its sheer radiance must throw some people
off. Robert De Niro is the creature! De Niro gives the foul beast a soul

When I first saw this movie, I loved it. Having recently seen it again after
several years, I found it to be every bit as good as I remembered – in fact,
better. So I thought I would visit IMDB and see what others had to say. I
learned four things;1/ This movie was a flop at the box office. Funny, I had always assumed it
was a hit – it was so good, and spawned three (soon...
