My first reaction to Babylon A.D. was that it's not nearly as bad as
its own director, Matthieu Kassovitz, has been claiming it is, although
that reaction came to me before I got to the end of the movie. The
movie has a cool set-up and a few good action sequences, although they
suffer from that all too modern symptom of having been put together by
editors who must have been...

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this movie. Yes the plot has been done many times before. As with most romantic
comedies, it's nothing deep, had some cheesy moments and was totally
predictable (I figured out the whole movie in the first 10 minutes). But I really enjoyed it all the same. I laughed a lot in this movie.
Partly because I could totally relate to trying to...

If you are familiar with both American and French culture, this movie is
hilarious. If you are not familiar with the frog culture, you won't get
all
the jokes, but there should be enough jokes left to enjoy yourself
seriously. This is one very well-made crime-comedy. The movie does not
suffer from overacting and the jokes are not laid on heavily. The actors
are
superb a...

For those not in the know, the Asterix books are a hugely successful
series of comic books about a village of indomitable Gauls who resist
Caesar's invasion thanks to a magic potion that renders them
invulnerable supermen. There have been several animated features (only
one of them, The Twelve Tasks of Asterix really capturing the wit and
spirit of the books despite being a...

What I really enjoyed about "City of Ghosts": The atmosphere of modern
Cambodia; the understated characters and storytelling.I recently spent a couple of weeks in Cambodia. The portrayal of Cambodia in
the movie brought back many memories of the place, and I found the overall
feeling to be accurate. We get a sense of the sadness and tragic history of
the country, its current condit...

I saw the original "101 Dalmatians" 3 times while en route from England
back
home to the USA and I loved it. So when I saw there was a new dalmatians
movie, "102 Dalmatians," I was elated and when I saw it, I was NOT
disappointed. In fact, I liked this version even better than the first.

This film is a genuinely brilliant live-action translation of an
(arguably) unfilmable classic comic book series... Claude Zidi's
writing and direction are top notch, and the main characters as played
by Clavier and Depardieu work extremely well.The English translation, on the other hand, is awful. When I saw the
film in England having already watched it in France, I was, frankly,<...

Without ever attaining indisputable literary merit, Alexandre Dumas,
succeeded in gaining a great reputation first as a dramatist and then
as a historical novelist, especially for such works as 'The Count of
Monte Cristo,' and 'The Three Musketeers.' He was among the first,
along with Honor...

Two very different women, one a demure, middle-aged woman with an
over-bearing son and a rebellious daughter; the other, an "in -your-face"
young woman. They are neighbors and find a need for each other in a very
human way. Depardieu is the fellow who makes a difference in Rowland's life
-we never know how much. I wish more had been made of the relationship
between Rowland and ...

Part of the genius of Branagh's interpretation of Hamlet is in the use of
the techniques of the cinema to enhance the production. Branagh has not
condensed the acts like some mass market soup, as was done in Olivier's
1948
Oscar-winning production, or in, say, Zeffirelli's 1989 Hamlet lite
starring
Mel Gibson (both excellent, though, within their scope), but has kept

This is a funny, intelligent and, in a sense, realistic comedy about a
14-year-old trying to live her first love while on vacation, and also about
the complex, sometimes amusing, sometimes touching, relation between a
divorced father and her growing daughter... and about how far a women (not
only Nicole, the teen-ager) can go to get the man she loves! I laughed a
lot
with t...

Ridley Scott's masterpiece, 1492: A Conquest of Paradise, is a visually
compelling film and well acted. Those who gave low viewer ratings in
the viewer comments obviously do not see the beauty of epic films.
Epics are supposed to be kind of lengthy. It is, to me, the best
depiction of Columbus I have ever seen. True, the lead actor is a
Frenchman, but if you set that aside you ...

The subtitles in this movie are done so well, one almost forgets the movie
was done in French. The words seem to glide effortlessly off of Gerard
Depardieu's tongue, as if only he were meant to speak them. It almost
makes
you jealous of Cirano's eloquence. Even those with no appreciation of
poetry whatsoever can still find this movie entertaining. The action is
enthrall...

Francois Truffaut follows in the tradition of Jean-Pierre Melville by
adapting a popular genre as a serious allegory for the darkest period in
French history: the Nazi Occupation. Just as Melville used the gangster
film to examine notions of legality, legitimacy, authority and criminality
in a period when the Resistance were outlaws and the police rounding up Jews
for the deat...
