Went in watching this movie with very little expectations. I heard from
a friend it was good but overall the Twilight shadow lingers around
Pattinson.The movie isn't technical, it doesn't try to be something it isn't. It
tries to tell a story, a very potentially real story, and convey those
emotions.Overall Pattinson puts on a great performance and all cast play...

Ben Affleck was superb as Doug MacRay and as the director takes most of
the plaudits for The Town, Jeremy Renner however as James Coughlin is a
scene stealer with a coiled spring tension about him. Renner could
double for Eminem and it's his energy and menace that keeps viewers on
edge for much of this movie. Rebecca Hall as bank manager Claire Keesey
does well though...

(I'll indicate in this review the point where spoilers begin.) My
dissatisfaction is split: 30% tone-deafness, 70% lackluster writing.The 30%: I agree with the first commenter's synopsis about the lack of
diversity in the characters and scope of the stories. I was surprised
how, this film, at best, woefully shortchanges the real NYC by
presenting a collection of people an...

If there's one flaw plaguing Peter Berg's The Kingdom, it's that it
tries to be all things to all people. OK, maybe not all things as it
definitely doesn't try the romance angle. That's not to say The Kingdom
isn't a terrific film, because it is. However, it should have been
decided at the outset to make this movie either a political or action
thriller, ...

Saw this last night at the premiere, and "Straight to Betamax" could
not be more wrong. This is actually the first intelligent, smart and
wonderfully acted film of the year, and both Patricia Clarkson and
Chris Cooper give wonderful performances in a story which is
intriguingly told and compellingly filmed.I will agree with a few others that Pierce Brosnan seems a bit miscast

I keep reading comments referring to O'Neill as an FBI Agent. Eric
O'Neill was never an FBI Agent, but rather just a support employee.
That's part of what makes this movie so exciting with an almost "David
and Goliath" quality. O'Neill was thrust into one of the most important
cases in FBI history with virtually no undercover experience. His
ability to hang in t...

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...

"Syriana" is a blistering, powerful film about the degree to which
governments and corporate conglomerates place the ambition to control
the world's oil supply above the well being of their citizens and
employees. In this game, there are only bad guys, and what separates
the villains from the protagonists is not a question of who's good and
who's bad, but rather how bad each is...

frat boy with a dubious past that includes at least one drunken-driving
charge. But he comes from a politically influential family and his
daddy's a powerful U.S. senator. Dickie, however, lacks panache. He
can't put together a simple sentence without stumbling. He's terrible

Roger Ebert says he has a theory that `people more readily cry at movies
not
because of sadness, but because of goodness and courage.'This is certainly a reason why Gary Ross's Seabiscuit tugs so effectively
at
the heartstrings. But the main one is the way the movie shows the triumph
of
the underdog spread fourfold among three men and a horse. And again the
timing is ri...

I've read many of the comments regarding Adaptation, and it seems as
though most people have disliked this movie because of its ending. They
make claims such as, "Kaufman's script was great until the end," or,
"Why did Kaufman talk about not wanting to "hollywoodize" his script,
and then do it in the end anyway?"I don't think most people understand why he did it.Throughout the movi...

I have grown extremely tired of the typical formula spy film like Bond, or
the juvenile stunt exhibition "Triple X." There have been a bare handful
of
spy films that feature relatively realistic spy thrillers, especially
recently with a concentration on spectacular movies that have less
substance
than cotton candy.Besides "The Bourne Identity," "Ronin" is the only other rec...

The Patriot is technically a good movie. Nicely made with good
characters,
good acting, a strong storyline and fabulous cinematography.But, to say this movie distorts history would be an understatement. And
that is extremely sad in a movie that sells itself as an accurate
portrayal
of events during the revolution. The Patriot, unfortunately, crosses the
line and try's to...

Of the 250+ films I've seen and rated on IMDb, only one other
(Schindler's List) is as good as American Beauty. A film like this not
only entertains while you're in the theater but also drops subtle
questions in your head about the nature of human behavior and the gulf
between fantasy and reality. After watching this movie, viewers will
think long and hard about their own lives...

I have never read Dickens' "Great Expectations," but I can tell you
that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Let me clear
something up right away. This is not a b-movie, a cheesy remake, or even a
remake. It is my understanding that this movie is loosely based on the
Dickens' book, but that it does follow the themes, just not the exact story.
This is a great mo...

More so than "Horse Whisperer", the movie deals with life altering
changes for the four characters (the mother, the father, the daughter,
the horse whisperer) and the horse of course. Even the affair is
positive. It helps Tom Booker get over his wife when he puts that
record back in it's sleeve, and it helps Annie get off her so called
"high horse attitude." It's a movie of cha...

When I saw this movie on the shelf at a video store. I rented it for the
title alone. I didn't even read the back. I guess because there are leg
men,
feet men, and by now you can guess what kind I am. I had no idea what I
was
in for when I started watching this movie. It was directed beautifully
and I
think David Schwimmer did a good job. However I don't think this movi...

I just bought this movie on DVD and watched it for the first time in a
couple of years, and once again it amazed me. While most scripts stumble
recklessly from one hackneyed plot device to another, "Lone Star" flows like
a steady, winding river, never letting the viewer see too far downstream.
The spine of the film is Sherrif Sam Deed's investigation into a
thirty-year-old murd...

Harrelson and Snipes, you can't overlook that this is a well made film.I've only seen it twice, once when it first came out on video, and again
in
the past week. I didn't think it was that remarkable when it first came

I heard of this movie before, but I had no knowledge of what it was about,
and basically rented it because it looked good and Robert DeNiro is the
star--my Number One favorite actor. Well, DeNiro's performance is one of the high points of the film, and he is
extraordinary as the abusive father who seems pleasant and jovial at times,
but can turn violent when you push his buttons. ...

This is a fairly good movie. It provides a compelling dramatic struggle
and captures the paranoia of an era. However, like many Hollywood
movies, it strives more to create a dramatic story than an accurate
one.This movie was originally to be based on the life of blacklisted
writer/director Abraham Polonsky (Force of Evil, Body and Soul).
Polonsky was working in France at the ti...

As a boy, I never liked western films. My father loved them all, all the
John Wayne classics, the Spaghetti Westerns, the whole
lot.I despised them all. They were all the same. Same plot. Same rotten
cinematography. Same unbelievable characters. Couldn't understand the
attraction.Then I saw Lonesome Dove. This film (actually a mini-series) is an absolute
masterpiece.It starts w...
