When I heard that the movie was telling the story of one of the bands
in which Joan Jett played, I wanted to see it. Expecting a deluge of
estrogenic hormonal music and pure rock and roll, I was a bit taken
aback by the artsy, silent, character oriented take of the film, but in
the end I liked it.The movie is about The Runaways, an all girl rock band which reached
cult sta...

I was really surprised by how entertained I was by this. There were
many negative reviews of this film and after watching the film I
realised how many critics are actually quite lazy. They derided the
plot as convoluted but actually I found it complex but understandable.
To dismiss it as a heroes knock-off is also unfair. It's a sci-fi film
but that doesn't mean all s...

OK America, before you go blindly into an animated film with your young
children, why don't you do a little research on what they are about to
witness. A PG rating and stop-motion animated aesthetic do not always
make a child-friendly adventure. Based upon the horror novella by
acclaimed author Neil Gaiman, Henry Selick's Coraline is chockfull of

I caught an exclusive screening of this film a week back and I must
say, it might be the best film featuring a mostly black cast since
"Antwone Fisher." The story centers around Lily (Dakota Fanning), a
poor, lonely little girl in the deep south, who deals with a tragic
past and a miserable, cruel father (Paul Bettany). Her life revolves
around dreams of being every bit like he...

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...

Overall this was actually a bad movie, and really not anything
different from that of any other movie of this genre. It struggled to
get the main point across, and at many times it began to drag as I
found myself looking at my watch more and more.As for the acting, Dakota herself did not live up to the self hype. I
strongly doubt she will succeed in her goal in getting a Oscar

Bring your Kleenex. Maybe it's just coz I'm female, or maybe it's coz
my mother read this book to me when I was little -- but every time a
new word appeared in that web -- tears rolled down my cheeks!It's very charming. They have kept to the time frame of the book -- it
looks like the 1930s-1950s. They haven't tried to "modernize" it with
pop culture references ...

As a long time horse racing fan and a former horse loving little girl,
this movie had to go on my must see list. I would definitely recommend
it for all families - and the adults may be surprised how much they
enjoy it also. There is one scary scene for some young kids when the
filly breaks down early in the movie - but this scene is part of the
commercials that already have be...

I just finished watching this movie with my younger brothers, and I
have to say I found it surprisingly entertaining! I got it for my
brothers because I figured it would be a children's movie, but it was
good for me too! I am 15, too. The movie has a great plot and was
easily understandable for me even though I haven't seen the original
movie. My favourite character in the movi...

Maybe Robert De Niro's doctor in Godsend (2004) went to the same
medical school of horrors as his Dr. David Callaway in Hide and Seek,
this year's De Niro toss away film, from which he deposits his
considerable paycheck along with cash from Meet the Fockers. Why he
doesn't concentrate his fortune and connections (as Clint Eastwood
does) to craft an artful small film that would ...

Certainly one of the finest movies I have seen for quite some time.
Exquisite direction and flawless acting make this a very entertaining
and often moving film. Denzel Washington plays one of his most engaging
and emotional roles to date, and the rest of the cast perform
beautifully. Christopher Walken is of course superb in his part
although he did not appear as often as I wou...

As other reviewers have suggested, "Uptown Girls" is a hard film to
classify: it's not a "comedy," per se, because it isn't funny (and
barely even seems to try), but it also isn't particularly dramatic
(though there are dramatic elements). I'm reminded of a term I've heard
critics use a number of times -- "charmer" -- but only now do I realize
how necessary it is to their lexic...

For any forty-something pseudo-Boomer like myself, who grew up and
learned how to read with the Seuss books, well, this film is an insult.
There is NO way I'd let my kids watch this crude, stupid garbage. My
jaw dropped scene, after scene, after scene. What Hollywood "suit" OK'd
this thing? It is mean-spirited, raunchy and ugly. My little nephew
started CRYING about thirty minu...

lawyer who realises how empty her luxurious and successful life is. As
always she delivers an outstanding performance and reminds us of just how
excellent and beautiful an actress she is.Sean Penn is so belie...
