I am so shocked at the polarizing views on this movie. The ridiculous
high standards placed on this simple film about its plot and purpose.
This is no documentary. It is a very funny comedy about two families.
Clearly, their is a significant amount of intellectual elitism that
exists over race in this country. From the amateur comments to the
professional critics, the focu...

And you don't have to necessarily be named Barbara for that to happen
(movie in-joke, you don't have to get). This movie found me strangely
intrigued. Strangely because I can see quite a few story/pacing flaws
and inconsistencies but still was entertained enough, to like it quite
a bit more than I would think.Might have to do with our two lead actors, might have to d...

especially "The air I breathe" with multiple story's, drama and the
city atmosphere, it has a similar feel to it.Despite a few REALLY cheesy scenes in the end, it really was

I attended an early screening with my 8 year old daughter; we're both
big fans of Sendak in general and this book in particular, and I quite
like Spike Jonze as well. But this did not prepare us for the moody,
almost downbeat atmosphere through most of the film, nor the sense of
immediacy and almost hyper-realism combined with astoundingly fanciful
imagery. It is such an o...

I like movies based on true stories but if you go to any city and pick
the best players from 5 different high schools of course you will win
State Championship. Forest Whitaker is an annoying actor also, I cant
ignore his lazy eye and he is the same character in every movie.
Someone needs to tell him to act and not just be himself in every
movie. New Orleans is a sinful town an...

Here's another movie the critics dismissed that turned out to be a
great movie. I was initially hesitant to go see the movie because of
the negative reviews, but went to see Forrest Whittaker, Hugh Laurie
and Keanu Reeves. I think most critics can't look at Reeves and not see
Bill Preston Esq or Neo. However Keanu Reeves shows range in the movie
and heads up the movie w...

As the Bourne series raises the bar for action films, and audiences
balk at two-plus hour runtimes, the filmmakers of Vantage Point seem
like they are trying to bring a fresh, new, unconventional take on the
action/thriller genre. Though it may annoy some people, I felt the new
take turns Vantage Point into a taut terrorist thriller.The new take or approach is jumping right into th...

I love ensemble dramas. Especially when they have the whole "stranger's
lives intertwined" thing going on. However, as much as I enjoyed this
film, it is not for everyone. It is slow and heavy, but I can't find much wrong with it. There were a
couple of scenes that were poorly developed or written, maybe. All in
all, if you're like me, and you like superbly acted and di...

The Air I Breathe is stunning in many ways. It should be established
right from the start that this is not a movie which allows you to check
your brain at the door. It demands attention and thought. Director
Jieho Lee and co-writer Bob DeRosa have crafted an intriguing work
which leaves more questions than answers. And, after all, that is what
art should aspire to do.The film i...

There have been so few pictures this year that are standouts. This
movie is one of them. Much of what you will see is true, and did occur
in Uganda's history. Amin's doctor, played by James Macavoy, is the
main fiction in the movie, but one would think they are watching a
historical event. Macavoy's character is so real. The doctor grows from

It's strange how people are reacting to this movie. I'm not sure what
they're expecting. This is simply a fine, fun movie for the 4 to 10
year old set. I brought a group of kids with me that were in that age
group and they all loved it. They were cheering at the end. As a parent
I also found it quite enjoyable. It's no "Shrek" I suppose, but few

I've read comment after comment and review after review saying this
film is just a remake of Crash. Some even saying the director should

read in People Magazine will know that this film was being shot BEFORE
Crash, and had actually been c...

This movie doesn't get the credit that it deserves. Travolta's speech at
the end of the movie to the doctor is incredible. Rarely do I ever see a
movie that acknowledges the value of a single human life like this movie
does. Most movies glorify sacrifice. This movie glorifies life. I
highly
recommend it....

This was a very inferior remake of "Seven Days in May".What dooms it from the outset was Jason Robards' characterization of

most of the country fears has endangered America by his disarmament
