This film is getting a 9 based soley on the completely misleading
promotion.I went into this expecting a love story between Carter Webb (Adam
Brody) and Lucy Hardwicke (Kristen Stewart). I was expecting a dramatic
age-gap romance with an ending about his having to go back to Los
Angeles.What I got was a totally confusing love hexagon that ended up not being
about love at all.Ca...

If you don't take it too seriously you'll really enjoy this. Noah Wyle
returns as the Librarian Flynn. This time he sets out to find King
Solomon's Mine together with the help of fellow "nerd" Emily Davenport
(Gabrielle Anwar). I found a lot of similarities to Indiana Jones as
well as The Mummy is this film. But it did not ruin the Librarian 2 for
me at all. It'...

I remember the last time I saw my mother. I sat on the end of her bed,
strumming guitar, and singing a song she used to sing to us as
children. I hoped she might remember it. She would probably not,
however, recognise her son. Or even speak. She had Alzheimer's.After self-righteous 'disease of the week' movies such as Iris, it is
maybe hard to imagine a riveting, nuance...

It blows me away that such good directing and editing work were put
into a story that lacks the basics of what it takes to achieve what it
aims for.So many characters that occupied significant parts of the film had
virtually NOTHING to add to the story, and the causes that supposedly
drive the plot were either badly overblown or completely unrelated. The
level of disconnectedne...

I saw the film at the Nashville Film Festival. It was beautifully done,
from cinematography to the acting. It's the story of a father and son,
and how they come to appreciate each other during a family crisis.
Beautifully written with dialog that never rings false, the film
showcases the acting talents of Paul Reiser and Peter Falk, among
others in this outstanding cast. The fi...

I liked it. I admit to catching the movie only because of Noah Wyle,
but the movie caught me. It was fun, not taking itself too seriously,
and the feature character is an unlikely hero, which is always worth
watching. The name librarian is misleading since Noah Wyle's librarian
character is more archaeologist and artifact keeper than librarian,
probably why he's the librarian i...

I was fortunate enough to see this film at the Sundance Film Festival, and
while I was ostensibly in Park City for skiing, this film will stand out
in
my memory as the high point of the trip.
Poignant, heartfelt, authentic, beautifully acted, outstanding direction,
incredible script - I could go on...When the director of the film came out to address the audience before the

While many reviewers gave this film mild or bad reviews, they all seem to
miss the attention to detail -- the artistic attempt not only to recreate
the look and atmosphere of THE GODFATHER, but also the look of the periods
depicted.
I found the film delightful. I was expecting what I got -- a spoof from the
AIRPLANE folks. They didn't promise Shakespeare so don't expect i...

A seemingly small movie yet it's beyond charming, it has heart. Don't
dismiss this as an expanded version of the TV series Jennifer is in, she's
what she is, yet she fits into this story so well, playing opposite Jay Mohr
and Kevin Bacon, with Ileanna Douglas as her best friend and Olympia Dukakis
as her mom – it's Jennifer Aniston perfect.The heart may not be evident in the b...

Hot on the high-heels of "Showgirls" comes Woody Allen's latest film,
"Mighty Aphrodite," named after the Greek goddess of love, another
American
film trying to interrogate the questionable mentality and dubious
spirituality of the skin trade. A lot will probably be made of the fact
that, not satisfied with merely pointing out classical references in his
text, Allen decided...

Combine THE THIN MAN with IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT and THE FRONT PAGE and what
do you get? This is an enjoyable thriller - rival newspaper reporters
(Nolte playing Jack Nicholson and Roberts playing herself) try to outscoop
each other, get drawn into a suspicious cover-up and wind up joining forces
(and falling in love) as they single-handedly solve the mystery. Terrible

OK, yes, I do think we are all a little sick of the Look Who's Talking
sequels, even though I did enjoy Look Who's Talking Too, it was just
taking a really great concept and not putting the effort into it. Look
Who's Talking Now is just plain pathetic on the level that it's more
for the kids vs. the adults, I think because they found that Look Who's

I was disappointed with this movie. Not that I don't like this kind of
comedy, I loved the first one, but this just doesn't live up to that.It's not the kids' fault though. Mikey is still a cutie, and he's got some
good jokes, although I don't get the speaking arrangement - he says a word
or two himself, and then it suddenly switches to the male voice. I think
they should have chos...

This film is worth watching for two reasons. First, it is based on a
tragic, real life event. As such, an enhanced credibility sustains the
film's underlying premise, and thus renders a much greater potential
for viewer impact and depth of meaning, as opposed to a work of
fiction. Second, quite aside from its autobiographical roots, the film
has entertainment value, expressed m...

Look Who's Talking is such a great classic, one of my great memories of
childhood, every weekend when I would go to my grandparent's place,
they would let me pick a movie and we would watch it together, very
often I would pick Look Who's Talking or Look Who's Talking Too, they
were just such fun movies to watch and laugh at. When I grew up, I
realized I hadn...

You know you've had a boss like this. Someone who stole your ideas,
used you to advance their career, and did everything to keep you from
getting the credit you deserve. I think of him every time I watch this
movie, and although he got his come-uppance, as such people usually do,
this one is still more satisfying.Griffith is a little annoying as the giggly secretary with ambition,<...

People call this Cher's movie, but Olympia Dukakis makes it for me. It's
under her roof that I heard some of my favorite dialogue in the
movies.I am not a violent person, but "Old man . . . you give those dogs another
piece of my meat and I'll kick ya til ya dead!" has got to be on my top
ten
list of memorable quotes.I like the conversations around this family's kitchen table ...
