Art Linson's memoirs are a reminder of what a sad place Hollywood
really is. We got closer and more original glimpses in films that go
from Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" to Altman's "The Player". Bernard
Rose's "Ivansextc" also comes to mind not to mention Blake Edwards's
SOB. Here the prototypes are well known even by people who have nothing

I think you're going to see some very mixed reviews for this film. The
tragedy is that it's going to be picked up primarily by fans of
westerns, who are looking for shootouts and plots that can be boiled
down to "good guys" and "bad guys." Do not go into this movie expecting
that.This is ultimately a revenge story, but not a straightforward or
clean-cut one; in this way...

I was lucky enough to find myself at a small screening of this picture
and having no expectations, was blown away by what I saw. I felt a knot
growing in my chest with every passing minute and it didn't let go
until the credits rolled, when I had to take a couple deep breaths and
heard the girl next to me doing the same.What first struck me was the fragility Penn brings to his char...

with my friends and we were just dazzled by the brilliance of the

Seeing an advance Screening of 'The Count of Monte Cristo', and having only
seen one advertising TV spot before hand, I really did not know what I was
going into this time. I vaguely recalled it being an Alexander Dumas book,
and former film/TV versions featuring rather depressing prison scenes with
men tunneling to the freedom of the Sea. Indeed, despite its wonderful

"Along Came A Spider" works. It may suffer from one plot twist too many,
it
may borrow liberally from other pictures, it may have narrative holes you
could run a horse race through, but in spite of all that, it WORKS. And as
everyone knows, that is about the highest compliment a film like this can
be
paid.Directed by Lee Tamahori, "Along Came a Spider" hits the ground run...

Perhaps the biggest problem in Eddie Murphy's career always was, that people
expected him to be a fast talking guy whose mouth gets him in and out of
trouble. As soon as he tried to escape that formula, viewers were in for a
disappointment and found his movies below than average.If you leave that behind, "Metro" is a solid action movie with a couple of
remarkable stunt scenes. It's...

Review 4 of 4With Alien 3 closing the story arc of the Alien trilogy, this film
begins with a fresh slate. The Alien films have always been a
director's series but in this film it was the writing that ultimately
killed it. Resurrection tries to be too many things at once. It has a
very artistic and dynamic visual style, but cardboard characters. It
has a very overt sense of...

When I first saw "Point break" I thought that Kathryn Bigelow made the only
action masterpiece of her career but there she was only four years later
with a magnificent story written by James Cameron and an unforgettable
classic called "Strange days". Ralph Fiennes has never been as cool as he
was when the guy played Lenny Nero and Juliette Lewis was almost too sexy to
be true. ...

you take the trip with Blake to the big sea.So beatiful pictures, such poetry in every single one of them. Hypnotic

How is it possible that anyone can like a movie like "Braveheart" (a
"fact-based" movie about Scottish people in the Middle Ages taking a stand
against the tyranny that was going on) and then have the idea that this
"fact-based" movie is any different?Here were people in bad living conditions (to put it very lightly) and,
along with using their Constitutional Right for a Well-Regul...

ROMEO IS BLEEDING is a fascinating and unusual hybrid of highly
personalized old fashioned 40s noir and ultra-violent stylized 90s
crime drama. It's the kind of movie they never make anymore, with an
unappealing protagonist, an entirely corrupt universe where justice and
virtue won't triumph and a heartbreaking ending which basically

The only thing i can say is that when i left the movie theater then i
had no comment to give... This movie got to me deep! I was 14 and now i
am 25,and still i remember it so well and i still watch it sometimes..
Brandon Lee did a great job as an actor like everyone else, but the
story about his death is totally insane, which made me worship the
movie even more. What an irony. ...

I particularly liked the evil performances of Rochefort (Michael Wincott)
and Cardinal (Tim Curry). The rest of the cast includes plenty of A-list
types such as Keifer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt, Rebecca
DeMornay, Gabriel Anwar, and Chris O'Donnell. There are more great
one-liners in this movie than a Clint Eastwood film, a Sean Connery film,
and a Arnold Schwar...

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 ...

We all know how legendary The Doors were and still are, and sooner or later
someone was going to make a film about them. Might as well be Oliver Stone.
Given the subject matter, Stone was able to go off the deep end with his
imagery here to the point of making one have an epileptic seizure OR think
they just dropped some acid. Either way, it's great to watch in my
book.The film...

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is a movie that I've watched since I was

Christian Slater's. But if we all always complained about accents, I

The European-release version of "The Sicilian" is 31 minutes longer than
the
US version. Supposedly, the director was ordered to deliver a version
under
2 hours, so he recut the film to render it incoherent with the expectation
that Fox would have to release the complete film. Only, they went ahead
and
released the deliberately botched shorter cut. This may be apocry...
