City of Ember employs a supremely majestic setting to unravel its
end-of-the-world sci-fi adventure, but several missed opportunities
keep it from escaping its family-friendly roller coaster ride feel and
becoming something truly unique. However, a few too-convenient outcomes
and a rushed introduction can't take away the undeniable enjoyment of
solving the epic mystery of t...

Three soldiers are home from Iraq; a 40-ish Tim Robbins out for good
and the young Michael Pena and Rachel McAdams on a thirty day leave.
Each has their own problem that they are faced with at the beginning of
the film. Robbins comes home to a wife who wants a divorce and a son

Yes it's a movie about a man's frustration with urban noise, but you
don't have to be noise sensitive to be engaged by his frustration with
something over which he has little control or power. The movie is about
how a man works through his rage at feeling powerless, exploring
different modes -- impulsive, destructive, productive, etc. So if
you've ever been up a...

Just saw it at as closing film of Austin Film Festival. Going in, a had
seen a few snippets of their act at Alamo Drafthouse, and thought the
trailer was amusing but I wasn't expecting such an epic theme music and
the use of tarot cards is genius in the title sequence. Watch out for
cameos from Ben Stiller and Tim Robbins, and the dark lord himself (who
has a fetish for KG)...

This movie, set in the 1980's, depicts and contrasts the brutal
oppression of White South Africa with the opposition of the ANC, most
notably Joe Slovo, a hero of the time. Joe Slovo paid a high price for
his opposition, including the loss of his wife to the oppressors of the
day, but this movie, with a screenplay written by one of his children,
takes a high-minded, forgivi...

It is rare when a movie transports me back to my childhood memories,
reminding me of the time when playing games use to be fun. Adventures
were limited by imagination, and Summer days were transformed into
magic. "Zathura", directed by Jon Favreau, based on a book by Chris Van
Allsburg, came knocking on my door and invited me to come out and play.Author/Artist, Van Allsburg has a w...

I went to see this last Isabel Coixet's movie three hours ago and its
beautiful and powerful story is still bouncing in my head... the sea,

nowhere..The way it is conceived is somehow simple, a mysterious woman, in my

'Code 46' is the most beautiful film I've seen in quite some time. It's
funny how something entirely new is produced when the properties of
film noir and futuristic sci-fi are married. Like 'Until the End of the
World,' 'Strange Days,' and 'Gattaca,' three films which 'Code 46'
potently recalls, this is above all else a mood piece, wherein
character and plot are secondary to th...

As he managed to do in Being John Malkovich, brilliant writer Kaufman
succeeds in creating a completely believable alternative reality, which he
employs as a metaphor that pokes seemingly light (and therefore lethally
subversive) fun at 'society' - what it means to be civilized, what it means
to be free, how people judge each other based on ridiculously superficial
differences ...

OK, make no mistake, this movie was made to convey a message. If criticised
in terms of, say, similarity to "the Firm", or "yet another cyber
thriller",
then you really missed the point. The message is pretty blunt, and
guaranteed to anger a certain large corporation. (This is not an
anti-corporate movie, it is anti- a ~particular~ corporation, and if you
can't guess which ...

Having read the very good Nick Hornby novel of the same name I looked
forward to "High Fidelity" quite a bit, but I never expected it to be
as good as it is. This is easily one of the best comedies of all time
for its laughs alone - but what separates it from other comedies
(particularly new-age ones) is that it's a very poignant multi-layered
tale that focuses, primarily, on m...

After a second viewing, I can say that I am still not sure what to make
of this film. Many will see this as something of a remake of 2001. And
yes, the film is visually almost plagiaristic of the Kubrick
masterpiece. The two biggest problems are a lack in originality and
thoughtfulness. From my rating, you can see that I did not despise this
film. It's visually nice, and th...

Contrary to what you may think initially, nothing happens by coincidence on
`Arlington Road.' Outstanding performances by Jeff Bridges (As Michael
Faraday) and Tim Robbins (Oliver Lang) highlight this taut thriller about
terrorism in America, a disturbing film instilled with a sense of loss, fear
and paranoia. Director Mark Pellington perhaps does not mine this vein to

Steve Oedekerk's splendid "Nothing to lose" is certainly one of the funniest
and most amusing and entertaining "black & white -buddies" -movie of the
90's. Story is fairly clever and dialogue is witty and quite hilarious. Tim
Robbins is excellent as a touchy, fretful and bitter bloke Nick Beam ("wrong
guy on a wrong day") who believes his wife is having an affair and kidnaps

Why do I want to write the 234th comment on The Shawshank Redemption? I am
not sure - almost everything that could be possibly said about it has been
said. But like so many other people who wrote comments, I was and am

friendship and redemption. The only other movie I have ever seen that effects me as strongly is ...

Maybe I'm being too generous with the rating...but I just love this
movie! I've seen it so many times, but every time I see it I fall in
love with it all over again. It's just a simple romantic comedy, with
nothing huge or monumentous that happens. But I'm a big romantic and
this movie *is* romantic. I love Meg Ryan and Tim Robbins, and Walter
Mathau is so funny. The scientists...

Another fascinating piece from the Coen Brothers, 'The Hudsucker Proxy'
is an homage to the films of the 1930s. From the grey faux-Gothic
cityscape to the over-the-top acting and rapid fire dialogue to the
subdued colors to the stark sets, this film hearkens back to an earlier
era of films. The plot is simple enough. When company president Waring Hudsucker
commits suicide, the ...

Come next year, when I am trying to devise a list of the best films of the
90's, Robert Altman's "The Player" will be near the top of my list. This
film skillfully creates a central plot around Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins)
(who hears about 125 movie pitches per day), a studio executive who is being
threatened by a writer whose script or idea he likely brushed off. But what

Right, so judging by the 5.7 score this film has, I realise I'm in a
minority here... Well I'm sorry, but this is such a wonderful film! The
story is great, the cast is fantastic, effects are good, soundtrack is
lovely, and excluding the first fifteen minutes, which are crucial for
the storyline, it is hilarious throughout! Unlike other Python films,

Tapeheads is not a subtle film. It is not brilliant film. What it is is

It is nice to see a movie that attracts more than one kind of audience.
This is a comedy, then again a love story. This can be placed in the
baseball genre as well as a coming of age drama. Most movies claim to
be one or the other and sometimes fail to be. Then again, when a good
movie hits a homerun it can not only become a money maker and a box
office smash, it can also becom...

Considered one of the most notorious box-office flops in history (next to

Sure Thing'. And, despite a life-long hatred of "girly" films and all
things
romantic comedy, this slice of 80s college cheese surprisingly hit the
spot.The story is nothing new: boy (an effervescent Cusack as Walt Gibson)
