I saw Leap Year today. Matthew Goode has been a favorite of mine since
his performance in Chasing Liberty with Mandy Moore. Amy Adams was new
to me. Both leads were outstanding in this film. I am 58 and single, an
old softy who always looks for a good "chick flick" and this one is a
beaut. I don't want to give away anything. Just see it. You will love
the interplay between...

I'm not sure why people are giving this movie such a hard time. My
husband and I went in looking for a feel-good, wholesome, lighthearted
romantic comedy, and that's what we got.The actors were all terrific. The "chemistry" was there. The storyline
was interesting (not deep, somewhat predictable, but still pleasant and
interesting). I laughed and smiled a lot throughout the...

"We've got a couple of hours before dinner; time for a couple of sex
surveys. Who wants to go first?" This line from KINSEY is a great representation of the movie. It
illustrates the film's offhanded sense of humor and shows that the
otherwise taboo topic of sex is tossed about in a way that can be seen
as being either casually shocking or mundanely trivial. And, logically

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers has to be one of the most creative,
complex and revealing non-documentary movies ever made about an actual
person, living or dead, and the inspired casting of Geoffrey Rush is
spot on - he's magnificent in all the various and sundry Sellers
guises, especially the ones from Dr. Strangelove and The Pink Panther's
bumbling inspector. The...

story, much of which may pass younger children by, without spoiling any

dope growers and their "community" of likeminded folk. After
their

You will fall in love with Harry and wish that Bigfoot / Sasquatch was
real.
A funny, endearing movie! There are several messages along the way: 1)
Some humans are more beastly than animals; 2) Forgiveness is a powerful
healer; and 3) Protect the wilderness, for it contains many wonderful
things
that are not always apparent to us. This movie is a family
favorite!...

It's definitely a division maker, a film that splits it's viewers down the
middle. If you're a 2001 fan then you'll hate it - the sense of mystery
and
discovery is lost as events and motivations are layed-out and explained
every step of the way. If you didn't like 2001, wondering aloud what the
heck you just saw, I suggest you do see 2010 since you'll love the
directness of...

Wow was my first reaction to seeing the film back in February 2003. I
had bought it on a whim and watched it one night when I was bored. The
rest is history. Terms remains one of my favorite films and I really
can't say why. Reputation has made this out to be "the ultimate chick
flick" upon which every other tear-jerker is judged. But it's
definitely more of a character study t...

I was a naval aviator deployed aboard the USS Ranger (CV-61) when I
first saw this film. The show had aired back in the States some time
before the film reels (this was before video tape decks were

telecast had had a big impact on the American public before we had the
chance to view it.That didn't matter. The ...

carries
over from its novel or written form.However, knowing up front that this film is NOT the book and dares
to
actually go in different directions than the book, may allow for aviewer to be a bit more open about the point of the story and
not
necessarily the story itself.I adore the novel. When the film came ...
