Growing up in and working around insurance people my whole life, the
world of Cedar Rapids is spot-on; the personality types, the (yes)
Christianity, the stupid prizes that give your company this or that
credibility, the scandals, the pressure to sell. You don't have to be
from that world to appreciate the movie - there's the performances that
go a long way, including...

starring John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei and Catherine Keener.
The film revolves around John (Reilly) a depressed and lonely man who's
been single since his divorce seven years earlier. As the film opens
his ex-wife Jamie (Keener) surprise...

This movie actually took me by surprise.First of all, let me start off by saying that the story is so
compelling and spellbinding that it will blow you away. There is just
something about this movie that is so unique in every way.The characters in this movie are so fantastically unique, quirky and
lovable. It all just came together for a greater unity. The role of

I watched a screening of this movie and loved it. I wasn't sure whether
to expect a children's movie or adult movie, and it came out to be more
like the latter. I grew up reading & watching "Goosebumps", and this
movie made me feel like I was watching a "Goosebumps" film tailored for
adults.John C. Reilly does a really great job acting; it's nice to see him do

I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd ever utter these words about a
Will Ferrell vehicle, especially one with Adam McKay as
collaborator—besides that Pearl video The Landlord on the internet last
year—but here it is. Step Brothers is an absolutely hilarious film.
From end to end, I don't remember the last time I've laughed this hard,
without stop. This...

Dog people. When I think of dog people, I think of my friend, Lloyd.
He's got this puppy, Andy. Andy's got his own personal walker, play
dates on weekends and some pieces of his wardrobe are more stylish than
mine. Despite being the dog that has everything, the most important
thing he has is Lloyd. If you spend any time with this twosome, it's
hard to tell who loves...

As a huge fan of the previous Apatow movies, I drove recklessly through
traffic to make it into an early screening of Walk Hard, and I'm happy
I did. I think this movie is a different direction for Judd and his
band, as it is more similar to Airplane in style than it is to Knocked
Up. But that impressed me that they took that risk and made it work --
and it definitely worke...

As usual Altman will divide his audience in a radical way. He, clearly,
doesn't do it on purpose but it happens more often than not with the
works of real artists where there is no room (or very little) for
concessions. It is what it is, his vision, his whole. He mentioned that
the film was about death and found that not everyone agreed not even

I was lucky enough to be at a premiere in Chicago for this movie and it
was pure fun entertainment. I am not a nascar fan and I love this
movie. First off let me say that most of the scenes that they show in
the previews are not in the movie, or are at least altered from the
trailer version. The characters are extremely funny. John C. Reily and
Will Farrell make a perfect red-n...

Once more, a great injustice has been done by IMDb voters. Dark Water
currently has a rating of 5.4, with 16% of the voters giving it a 1!
Note that 16% is 251 users, so it's not that a lot of people thought it
was bad, it just that not many people saw it and/or voted.It's quite obvious what happened. In what must be the most idiotic
marketing move of the century, Dark Water was pr...

I thoroughly enjoyed the current Broadway stage revival of Chicago
-- the Kander and Ebb original, with Bob Fosse choreography,
opened in 1975, starring Gwen Verdon (Roxie), Chita Rivera
(Velma) and Jerry Orbach (Billy), all proven musical theatre talents.
I saw the revival fairly early in its current run, starring Ann Reinking

Gangs of New York is just perfect entertainment. It is an enthralling,
bloody, melodramatic epic that more than justifies its two and one half hour
running time. In Gangs director Martin Scorsese spins another tale of the
New York underworld but with a twist. Instead of the mid-twentieth century
organized crime milieu of Goodfellas, Scorsese ventures back to the 19th
century to...

Yes I know. I've heard all the complaints already. "That's not how it
happened" (as if anybody really knows); "All of those events could not
have co-occurred on the same boat in the same trip" (as if anybody
really knows); etc. etc. Well, here's my answer - it's a movie, just a

I LOVED this movie. Not as great as "50 First Dates", but it's
definitely a repeater, especially on a rainy day or with a group of
girlfriends. Yes, the plot was "cute" and maybe even unbelievable, but
what's so bad about a feel good movie. Drew as Josie and her romance
with the teacher is so sweet and brother baseball wannabee adds to the
movie's good feeling. With all the jun...

I spend my life analyzing patterns in DNA, and I believe I fell in love
with
Magnolia for the embedded patterns and well-placed logic that organizes
this
gorgeous superstructure of a movie. In the introduction the narrator
recounts instances of eerie co-incidences. Throughout the main story, the
narrator suggests to the viewer that there is more to reality than "just"

controversial

more so on subsequent viewings. I was ...

Boogie Nights is perhaps one of the greatest examples any would-be

I first saw "Dolores Claiborne" when it came out in 1995 and have seen
it again some 3 or 4 times since, a practice I dedicate only to
"certified" masterpieces. At first, I couldn't figure out why I kept
revisiting "D.C." when it showed up on cable - it's not a cinematic
wonder or a work of art (something it doesn't strive to be, by the
way), not even a story that y...

This movie is highly entertaining. Bacon is so mean that I sometimes also
feel antipathy for the characters he plays in other films. And Meryl Streep
is convincing in her first action role. The script didn't give Mazzello any
great moments but he is good as ever. The only sad thing is that you always
know the story will have a happy ending. But you can't blame the film for

As many have said, the first time I saw this slice of "unusual" life
film, I was certain that the actor playing Arnie was mentally
handicapped. This was the performance to end all. I have been around
mentally challenged people who were the carbon copy of the character
that Leonardo portrayed. I do no think that anyone else could have
pulled this off without looking ridiculous. ...
