I guess you know the drill already. With the Lord of the Rings making
Hollywood studios go into a frenzy in adapting the many fantasy books
out there, not everything Tinseltown touched turned to box office gold,
and more often than not, save for that famous boy wizard, what could
have been pilots of franchises, became no more than false starts. I
suppose it goes to show that a ...

"Please Give" is the story of a husband and wife who butt heads with
the granddaughters of the elderly woman who lives in apartment the
couple owns, how things are intertwined and how circumstances
eventually gets to them in both right and wrong way.Cast-wise, pretty good. Oliver Platt is very likable as the cool and
flirty husband, with Catherine Keener playing his ...

'CYRUS': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Jay and Mark Duplass write and direct this quirky offbeat comedy/drama
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...

First off, I should say that I am personally familiar with this story,
having worked in downtown L.A. for the last 19 years and seeing Mr
Ayers and his cello many a time around 3rd and Hill Sts. I've also read
Lopez's columns in the Times for years and followed this one with
interest and satisfaction. Making a film about a tale like this
restores my belief in Hollywoo...

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...

Ah, how refreshing to find a comedy that isn't just gross-out gags,
sentimental chick flick trash, or predictable Hollywood tripe... while
Hamlet 2 isn't brilliant, and it isn't the funniest thing I've seen
ever, it certainly carries its own, and this is largely in part due to
Steve Coogan's performance.Coogan is amazing as the fruity drama teacher who's lif...

SOB. Here the prototypes are well known even by people who have nothing

I was taken by the melancholy and the beauty of the film and if this
wasn't enough, Colin Firth's performance! His best since "Apartment
Zero" and that is saying something. Not a single false move in a film
that could very easily become a simple tearjerker. Colin as a dad who
takes care of his young daughters after the tragic death of his wife is
simply extraordinary....

It's virtually impossible to summarize my feelings on "Synecdoche, New
York." This astonishing brain teaser from the mind of Charlie Kaufman
affected me deeply, probably more than any film I've yet seen this
year. I can't say it's necessarily enjoyable, because it's full of
uncomfortable, brave truths about what it means to be human, and it
goes places most ...

I attended the world premiere of "An American Crime" at the 2007
Sundance Film Festival. Among the several decidedly downbeat films I
saw this past week, this one was by far the hardest to watch. But
something about it is compelling, like craning your neck to see what
horrors can be spotted at the scene of a car crash. You know it can't
be anything pretty, yet you can't...

I've never posted a comment regarding a movie but feel compelled to
after attending a screening of Into The Wild at the Toronto Film
Festival last night. I won't speak to story here as it's covered in the
other comments.This is a movie of real beauty. It made me cry. I felt moved in a way
that happens very rarely. It was an inspiration.The feelings it evoked were all ba...

"Friends with Money" is Americana the sit-com way: it is about older,
(much) more monied, West Coast clones of TV's loathsome "Friends."
Although it appears a slow-mo imitation of Woody Allen at his talkiest,
the film does well. The reason: a quartet of actresses having a ball.Nicole Holofcener's script and direction are merely OK: a medium-funny,
not very insightful soap about thr...

The Interpreter is an extremely packaged political thriller that
contains only a little punch. The main reason I gave it a go was Sean
Penn who seems to rarely make mistakes selecting his work. Nicole
Kidman can be a mixed bag, and Sydney Pollack a competent seasoned
veteran director. All three performed well without setting the screen
alight.The use of the United Nations build...

This film disappeared locally right after its theatrical debut, so when
IFC showed it recently, we rushed to catch up with it. Having admired
its director, Rebecca Miller in all her films, we were right in seeing
it in the wide screen of the main theater because that seems to be the
perfect way to watch this intimate picture.Ms. Miller takes us to an island off the coast of the con...

In the previews, "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" boasts the image of another
immature sex romp about a 40-ish Lonely Guy who suddenly feels the urge
to do the deed simply because he hasn't. Too many past bad experiences
have dampened his enthusiasm to the point that he avoids women
completely. And then the unexpected happens: he falls in love. What's
more, there's a movie out about it...

The easiest role for an actor to play is a historical figure - we have
no idea how Julius Caesar really sounded, how he moved his body,
punctuated his speech, bit his lip, walked into a room, held his
cigarette. The hardest role is the living, or recently deceased,
celebrity whom we watched, heard, studied, mimicked and thought we
understood. JFK, Martin Luther King, Ray Charle...

Screw all those crappy reviews! This is a wonderful film! First of all,
I
was hoping to one day see a movie about the actors behind a children's TV
show who are completely nuts in real life. Well, I got my wish. I would
say that Adam Resnick (the writer) stole my idea, but I had no exact
thoughts on where to go with the premise. Well, Resnick went really far
with this ...

`Full Frontal' is maybe my greatest deception this year. Directed by
Steven
Soderbergh and having such a cast, I would not believe that the film could
be such a crap. There are lots of characters, but none of them is well
developed. Therefore, the viewer sees many famous actors and actresses on
the screen and is not able to understand who they are, what are their
motives, w...

All hail Spike Jonze for he is a genius. Not content with being the
undisputed king of music videos, he's set his sights on
full-length-feature-films. One might imagine that the often surreal, always
innovative humour of his short music promos might not transfer across to a
much longer production – like hell. ‘Being John Malkovich' is a fresh
exciting stroke of genius...

Firstly, this film is hugely under-rated. For those reviewers who call
this film a "waste of time" or place it in the "hall of shame", maybe
they should go back to watching more obvious and simple films. 8mm focuses on "snuff" movies and follows Nicholas Cage as he ventures
into the dark underworld of the pornographic industry. I'm not a great
fan of Nicholas Cage (I still wonder h...

Ah, 1998… Bill Clinton was still in the White House, the Gulf War had
no sequel, gas was under $2.00 a gallon, and a kinda-known actress was
in her pre-J. Lo/Jenny from the Block/Bennifer/media whore phase.Back when she used to have a little (now she has a lot), Jennifer Lopez
was actually enjoyable in Steven Soderbergh's 'Out of Sight.' I saw
this in the theater when it came ...

them.Sissy Spacek did a wonderful job portraying the most overlooked unplanned<...
