"Don McKay" is marketed as an edgy thriller, that's probably because
they had no idea how to categorize it.The movie begins as a cross between a romantic drama, a character
study, and a dark thriller. Don McKay, played brilliantly by Thomas
Haden Church, returns to his hometown by a letter from his high school
girlfriend, Sunny (Elisabeth Shue). That's the ...

I enjoy Michael Cera as much as the next person; he's awkward and
endearing and watching him fumble makes me feel better about myself.
The thing about Michael Cera, is that all of the characters he plays...
are Michael Cera.Well... except for Nick Twisp.It starts off with Nick masturbating; I hadn't seen the trailer prior
to the TIFF premiere, and during that first scene ...

on the lazier side of American small town life....The plot is simple: uptight law student meets a down-on-his-luck
ex-Olympic skier bum and together with the bum's friends, the law
student learns about life... nothing stunning but sounds ...

I find the general lack of interest towards this comedy rather
disturbing. This message coming all the way from Europe, Bulgaria. The
movie is playing in theaters as of this week, and to be honest it is
just as hilarious and similarly spirited to other Schneider flicks. I
went to see this expecting a few good laughs and that's what you get.
The funny moments generally arise...

Okay, if you've read the reviews and the comments, and seen the user
rating, you probably are wanting to avoid this movie at all costs. But
before you decide, I strongly suggest you read this. First off, many of

film. It however has become very popular to bash this film. Many of the

If you like dogs, if you like an adventure, you'll probably enjoy this
film. Even a bit of a tear-jerker as Cuba Gooding goes to save his
long-lost father! The love interest is attractive. The dogs are cute.
Even the border-collie is great! My 4 yo loves the movie. We re-enact
the "Demon, save me!" scene often. Demon is the name of the lead dog.

`Wild Wild West' joins an increasingly long list of big bloated
blockbusters, movies made for no possible reason beyond grabbing a quick
summer buck yet which, ironically, by their very cynical and slapdash
nature, utterly fail to connect with even the least demanding of audiences.
The result is a multi-multi-million dollar debacle that leaves studios

was nowhere in sight.Thank God she rebounded for "My Best Friend's Wedding". This film, while
not perfect, is a shining example of what makes Julia so radiant a...

we can see again all major characters from Free Willy. Our main hero,

played by a diverse cast. That cast is led by Willem Dafoe, who reminds
me a lot of another noir actor, Dan Duryea.There is the usual corrupt government/military officials angle but the
plot does have a few neat twists and is generally a non-nonsense kind
of story. However, I did find the storyline a bit confusi...

A funny, endearing movie! There are several messages along the way: 1)

healer; and 3) Protect the wilderness, for it contains many wonderful
things
that are not always apparent to us. This movie is a family
