Fair Game may not do well in the US, despite being Doug Liman's best
directorial effort to date. If that's the case (I hope not), it'll be
the fault of American audiences' inability to deal with the condensed
truth of Jez Butterworth's screenplay, derived from the individual

Hugh Jackman had a great time as host of this year's Academy awards,
and so did we. His joy was infectious. The staging and set up is
probably one of the best I've seen in all my years of watching these
shows. The pre-show done by Jackman and Anne Hathaway was passable, but
the whole production came across as so real and human, it astounded us.

really is. We got closer and more original glimpses in films that go
from Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" to Altman's "The Player". Bernard

Gus Van Sant's talent and humility allows Harvey Milk to be a the
center of this remarkable story without putting himself in front of the
camera. Sean Penn shines with a new and extraordinary light as Harvey
Milk. His humanity is overwhelming at times. That permanent smile
defining his face talks volumes about his faith in people, no matter
what. His awareness is filled wit...

I saw this film at the New Orleans premiere and found it to be an
interesting spectacle that I largely enjoyed watching. I'm writing to
let the public know that the numbers look strange at this point
(September 17, 2006). Why? Nearly 20% of the votes have been in the 1-3
range (which would rate this film to be in the ranks of the worst low
budget films ever made). One voter...

I just viewed this film OnDemand. A weird and perilous 73 minute jaunt
through several highlights of HST's life. While not as detailed as
other treatments of the subject matter, this film makes up for its lack
of depth by a sweeping breadth of scope, and is more pleasing to the
middle-of-the-road HST enthusiast, with less drug use, less profanity,
less crotchety-ness, more ...

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...

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...

best-selling novel. Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon play three
working class Bostonians forever bound together by a mutual childhood

'It's All About Love' is a true oddity. It feels almost like someone
recorded all the strange ideas that came into their head for a week,
and chose a common topic, i.e. 'Love', and wrote a screenplay from
their notes.But that's not to say it's a bad movie.In truth, I quite enjoyed it, although I came out of it feeling like
I'd woken up from a dream, or possibly a nightmare.It's qui...

Some movies are like a novel. Some movies are like a poem. Some films
have
flashbacks and flash-forwards. Some, like `Memento,' stretch the
boundaries
of convention and take wild risks such as moving the drama from the end
to
the beginning. `21Grams' is a cinematic poetic explosion, shaking all
the
pieces hard as hell, and then tossing them in the air to fall at ...

There's a lyrical quality to this film that makes the brutality of the
oppression it depicts seem almost tangible, and `Before Night Falls, `
directed by Julian Schnabel, is photographed in a way that gives much of it
something of a documentary feel (and, indeed, some archival footage is
included), which defines the drama and adds to the overall impact of the
film. And quite a...

This movie could be an excellent film, having a great cast and budget,
photography and soundtrack, but it does not work well. Why? Because of the
confused screenplay and a terrible and even pretentious direction. There are
two stories, one of them excellent. In 1873, two women are ax murdered in an
isolated island in New Hampshire. A man is accused of the crime by the

In my opinion, there is more than one type of Woody Allen film. There is
the antic lunacy of films like Bananas and Sleeper, the serio-comic
"serious" film with "meaning", like Annie Hall, Husbands and Wives and
Deconstructing Harry and then there are what I think are Woody Allen's "love
notes", if you'll bear with the expression, films like The Purple Rose of
Cairo, Bullets O...

This is a recipe for filmmaking at its finest... Get a dialog driven play,
get the playwright to pen it for the screen, and toss in two of the most
intense and talented actors (Kevin Spacey and Sean Penn) in the business,
supported by a very talented and surprising cast. What do you get?
Hurlyburly! Billed as a black comedy, this is more what I would term "black

This is one of my favorite Oliver Stone films. It has everything
(cheating incestuous sex, chopping off digits, a dumb hick mechanic, a
blind native American who wants Dr. Pepper all the time, etc etc etc)
that a well-rounded movie needs, plus it was completely done in a comic
fashion. It is closest to Stone's other film "Natural Born Killers" by
way of stylish camera shots and...

Let me just tell you that, as a middle aged film buff, I have seen my share
of flicks, good and bad. Very few rate as high as "The Game" in
entertainment value. "The Game" is most definitely one of the "most fun"
movies to hit the silver screen in a long time. Filled with plot twists and
turns, this film takes the movie-goer on a psychological roller coaster

I'm astonished how a filmmaker notorious for his political
left-wing fervor could make such a subtle, non-sanctimonious
picture. If you're for capital punishment, you'll still
be
for it after seeing this. If you're against capital punishment,
you'll still be against it. But whatever your stance is,
this
movie will, at the very least, make you reflect on why you

Carlito's Way is an extrememely underated Al Pacino movie. This film is
probubly the best crime story ive seen, next to Goodfellas(1990), Pacino
gives another superb performance as well as the rest of the cast. The story
in Carlito's Way is extremely compelling and can be very sad at times.
Unlike Pacino's similar film Scarface(1983), Carlito's Way is not just a

Well, ask me why this movie has such a poor rating. Or maybe don't ask
me, because I have no answer. The movie is just great. The acting is
perfect for this script, DeNiro and Penn are so funny and also serious
when is needed. Why such a poor rating ? Maybe because people are not
so funny as they were once. For the people of our days a comedy is
something like Scary Movie or a ...

Consider the range and the capture of characters in one movie, Colors
delivers multiple plot lines from a number of sides. I remember when this movie first came out I was in Jr. high school.
Colors was a controversial movie talked about by teachers, principles
and parents because, believe it or not, it had a tendency for
glorification and encouraging gang membership. To my surprise...

This raw look at small town hoods brutally exposes us to a portion of
society rarely depicted in movies. Souped-up cars and small time heists are
nothing new, but `At Close Range' is really more ‘The Godfather' than

tell of it on Montel, Jerry Springer, and Sally. Here, we see it, her...

I was too young in 1985 to appreciate a movie like this, but I watched

it hit the mark, without anything cheap or exploitive. The Snowman was

I recently saw this movie again (on video, not the uncut DVD). I hadn't
seen it in about twenty years, but it affected me the same at 35 as it
did when I saw it on cable at 14. It is one of the grittiest, rawest
movies I have ever seen, and it works on a visceral level. The
performances of Sean Penn and Esai Morales in this film go to show why
they have both continued to be two...

various films came along that served to embody the times. "Valley
