Why this movie went straight to DVD is beyond me. The mood is pure
southern Gothic, the acting is terrific, and the story is complicated
and sad.The performances were dead on. TLJ hits Dave Robicheaux on the button.
But the best is Mary Steenburgen as Bootsie. She really nails this

Only Roger Ebert and the reviewer for Rolling Stone seem to see the
truth here: this film is slow and elegiac because it deals with heavy
matters, but it is never boring, not if you understand the situation
and the depth of feelings being explored. It's as if reviewers don't
get it because they didn't really feel what the film is saying. Saying
that there have been ...

works of real artists where there is no room (or very little) for

I just had the pleasure of seeing this wholly original modern-day
American western. Just when you think you have this film's plot pigeon
holed it takes you in a different direction. THREE BURIALS OF
MELQUIADES ESTRADA is in part a revenge story, but it's also much more
than that. There are no one dimensional characters. As much as you want
to hate Barry Pepper's numbed border p...

these two redneck hunters that are trying to kill him when the movie

`Originality,' is, almost by definition, a one-time thing. In 1997, the
original `Men in Black' struck a nerve with movie audiences by showing that
even a big budget blockbuster, heavily loaded down with state-of-the-art,
computer-generated special effects, could still manage to seem light on its
feet. The makers of that film pulled off this feat of gravitational
legerdemain ...

Last week, as I considered ordering this DVD, I checked the

and Samuel L. Jackson, I placed the order.

and
Jones and Jackson did very credible jobs. The flaws in
the
movie have been correctly pointed out by numerous other

Daedalus, a small Air Force team training to be the first men in space.
However, his lead pilot, William "Hawk" Hawkins is even wilder. He
pushes a test flight beyond its limit. They have to bail out. The plane
is destroyed, and it leads the project director, Bob Gerson, to pull

With two really good lead actors and people I like to watch (Tommy Lee
Jones and Ashley Judd) plus an on-the-run-"Fugitive"-type story, I
expected a lot. I wasn't disappointed, either, although it's a bit
hokey.This is a very intense, involving story, a la the above-mentioned "The
Fugitive," except this time it's a woman chasing down her ex-husband

The only reason we have a film called "U.S. Marshals" is the cold fact that
somebody was simply dying to see Tommy Lee Jones returning into his
Oscar-awarded role as a tough, bold and unhesitating Deputy Marshal Samuel
Gerard. At first I was thinking "just another foolish sequel" and I have to
admit that at one point it more or less even looked like "U.S. Marshals" is

Watching Mick Jackson's disaster flick, in which the eponymous natural
disaster wreaks havoc throughout Los Angeles, is like watching a 3 a.m.
infomercial. It's such silly, mindless fluff, yet there's just something

"Men in Black" and "Galaxy Quest" are in my mind the best sci-fi
comedies ever made, because they are both hilarious parodies of two
different cultures. Whereas the latter spoofed obsessed fans who take
sci-fi entertainment WAY too seriously, this one spoofs the paranoid,

Although this film is hardly "about" baseball, it has been classified by
some as a "baseball movie," a category in which it does not belong and in

exploration of a twisted mind, one that happened to belong to one of
history's great ballplayers.Cobb is the archetype ...

was absolutely in love with blowing things up. The more explosions, the

others. However, the accents might have been overdone as none of the

Susan Sarandon should stick with the tough

the role of Reggie Love, she brings a certain

tougher on her, she was almost outshined
by Brad Renfro, who made quite an impression
in a film such as this. While the film was put

Nothing is more thrilling to see than two characters with superior
intelligences, pitting their wits against each other. A thriller does not
require a great deal of plot or techno-babble to be involving or complex,
although many distributors of blockbusters today seem to think so. For
these
reasons, "The Fugitive" is a huge blessing for a movie critic such as I. I

This is by far Seagals best film and his only one that you could truly call
good. His others range from average to just plain awful, but this is a great
action film. Its basically Dies Hard on a boat, but is one of the few
successful Die Hard clones. Andrew Davis made this before The Fugitive, and
his direction is tense and exciting, whats more he gets Seagals best

this genre go, it makes satisfying entertainment. As written by John

convoluted it loses our credibility."The Package" takes us from Berlin to Chicago. It involves corrupt

good pirate dressed up like a white knight. Some of Phipps' dialog is
