Hugh Jackman had a great time as host of this year's Academy awards,
and so did we. His joy was infectious. The staging and set up is
probably one of the best I've seen in all my years of watching these
shows. The pre-show done by Jackman and Anne Hathaway was passable, but
the whole production came across as so real and human, it astounded us.

I'm rating Lifetime's "Coco Chanel" 9/10 as a creative made-for-TV
biopic. Yes, all reviews are subjective. However, I suspect that some
folks who have berated the movie on the IMDb boards and on other
websites may have become confused by thinking that Shirley MacLaine in
the title role means the film should be judged for Oscar-worthiness. To
that, I respond with a re...

I saw this movie at the London Film Festival yesterday.It is an
incredibly old fashioned piece of film-making that at times seems very
contrived and manipulative,but it does contain genuine emotion and a
story that keeps you watching from beginning to end.Some of the
acting(especially from the 1941 period)is patchy,but in the 1991 period
of the film,MacLaine is great,so is Post...

It had so much potential... but they really blew it. They had so many
great actors but a bad script. I had wanted to see this movie for so
long because I had loved the TV show. And while I was sitting there I
was waiting for moment where I thought it would get better but it never
came. It seemed to go downhill with every passing moment. The movie
dragged and dragged on. Shirley...

I walked out of "Fun With Dick and Jane" fuming. I went into this other
"comedy" and I stayed. I even laughed a couple of times and smiled a
great deal, thanks , mostly, to Shirley MacLaine. The idea was fun, to
meet the real characters that inspired "The Graduate" and, in fact, the
best moment is the confrontation between Mrs. Robinson (Shirley
MacLaine) and Benjamin (Kevin Co...

Of the four female icons in the cast of These Old Broads only one so
far at least has chosen this to be her last film. It could and should
be the coda for the careers of Shirley MacLaine, Debbie Reynolds, Joan
Collins, and Elizabeth Taylor.The first three play aging film stars who co-starred in a musical that
has become a cult item and has just had a smash hit re-release. What

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...

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...

The original "Forrest Gump" came out in 1979 when Hal Ashby's "Being There"
was first released. A quietly brilliant, hilarious, heart-wrenching and
heart-warming motion picture that showed how great Peter Sellers
(Oscar-nominated) was and how limitless his range was. He stars as a
gardener at an old mansion in Washington, D.C. who has never been outside of
the owner's small pie...

The famous critic Pauline Kael in an interview mentioned that the
opinion about a film sometimes changes according to the time that the
film is viewed. A film that might be great when seen for the first time
ten years later might seem completely outdated and vice versa. 'Two
Mules' is a western that was released at a time that the public wanted
something else. What they...

In the 1960s Hollywood combined the classic "caper" film with a healthy
dose of romantic comedy. The result was a series of charming films such
as CHARADE (1963) and HOW TO STEAL A MILLION (1966)--films that
combined major stars, clever plots, witty scripts and which balanced
suspense with comic and romantic complications.Made in 1966 and released in 1967, GAMBIT was among the last...

Irma la Douce is a gem, one of Billy Wilders best films. Banned from TV
for many years by network censors, it began as a Broadway play and ran
from Sep 29, 1960 to Dec 31, 1961 playing at both the Plymouth Theatre
and the Alvin Theatre in New York. It quickly won the attention of
Hollywood and in 1963 debuted as a film starring Jack Lemmon and
Shirley MacLaine. It is a love sto...

Ohhh - after my 4th or 5th viewing, I think this may be one of the most
remarkable blends of comedy and drama to have ever been filmed - THE
APARTMENT - in subtle ways - rises well above the conventions of any
genre. It was my introduction to the great Billy Wilder, and my
fondness for Jack Lemmon (a remarkable and sorely missed actor) begins
here as well.*SOME SPOILERS* The co...

"Can-Can" is a feeble and obvious attempt to match the wit and high
professional gloss of "Gigi." The cast even included Maurice Chevalier,
still enjoying the quiet pleasures of old age as a tolerant judge named
Paul Barriere, and Louis Jourdan, cast here as an upright young judge
named Philippe Forrestier… After Judge Forrestier becomes amorously
involved with the caf...
