the images of pollution of the environment that humans have caused look
remarkably appealing to the eye. But this documentary is much more than

Saw this Saturday night at the Provincetown Film Festival, and it's a
stick-to-your-bones movie -- it's really stayed with me. Adapted very
smartly from what is probably an excellent novel, it's a
back-and-forth-in-time drama with fully rounded characters, thoughtful
rumination on life choices, and, I'm not exaggerating. one of the
greatest casts ever assembled ...

This film begins with the Glenn Close character, a famous actress who
could be Close herself, giving a master class in Shakespeare to a bunch
of Juilliard acting students, in which she laments the lack of passion
she sees in their performances and, more broadly, in the world she
inhabits. Which is a fitting, and ironic, prologue for a movie that
looks at the ennui of urban live...

I was able to see a screening of this film at Sundance tonight
(1/26/05) and I just wanted to let anyone who was curious about this
movie that it is definitely worth seeing. Some lucky distributor is
going to make bank off of this great film by a skilled director and
soulful screenwriter.Although I was pleasantly surprised as famous face after famous face
came on the screen, Ja...

Most of the Disney direct to video spin offs fully deserve the hard
criticism that they got. They are literally cheap products in every
sense of the word. Disney obviously doesn't put these out with high
artistic values in mind. They're basically easy money. Besides having
weak story lines Disney really messes up with the animation in most of
them. Examples: The Atlantis sequel...

This movie is a perfect example of what is wrong with the state of
movies today. The original was a gem, with excellent acting by
Katharine Ross, Paula Prentiss, and Patrick O'Neal. It was part horror
story, part feminist cautionary tale. Most of all, it was BELIEVABLE!
You got the feeling these were real people, and that all this could
really be happening--and with a minimum o...

I wonder if the first person reviewing this film actually saw it or is
so beholden to the original that they couldn't accept this version. The
original is a masterpiece - no question. But to say this remake is
inferior in every way is a gross overstatement. In fact, Patrick
Stewart brings a more conniving and regretful interpretation to King
Henry which is an interesting approa...

It's amusing to read some of the comments in this page of IMDb. Most
postings place the blame for what they perceive as the failure of this
picture on James Ivory, Ismael Merchant and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, the
successful creative team of some of the best movies of recent years. In
fact, the sin they appear to have committed was to adapt the Diane
Johnson's novel about t...

"It's a life you've made," one of the characters in The Safety of Objects
muses at one point. "Don't act like it's not yours." In this small indie
picture by Rose Troche (Go Fish, Bedrooms and Hallways), four families
struggle with life in suburbia, each searching for a reason to wake up the
next morning. Esther Gold (Glenn Close) is a reclusive middle-aged mother
who's closest...

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 was the perfect ending to the Sarah Plain and Tall trilogy.
Once
again, there was more conflict, but this time, Sarah takes a back seat,
and
the movie is more or less about Jacob. It has a very good message about
forgiveness, which is something I think is very important.The family has grown a little to include a child between Sarah and Jacob,
and Anna and Caleb ar...

It's hard to believe a film this sunny came from Robert Altman, and is also
this good, but there you go. While I love some of his films, like M*A*S*H,
MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER, NASHVILLE, THE PLAYER, and SHORT CUTS, there are
times when I feel he has a fundamental contempt for his subject matter, like
in THE LONG GOODBYE and POPEYE, and for his characters. But while this

There's one guarantee in life : When you're reading 5 reviews on Mars

me to believe that all these movie-lovers fail to see the film like Tim
Burton intended it. Mars Attacks! is a great film and - above all - a very
effective parody. Burton takes the opportunity to spoof and laugh with

As a very young child, I grew up on the 1961 101 Dalmatians. I loved the
show, and I remember thinking that it was one of Disney's best. So when the
1996 live-action remake came out, I had my doubts that anything could be as
good as the original.
I was wrong.
This movie is absolutely fantastic! It is beautifully written and the dogs
are so cute and loveable... but I think...

This has to be one of the most maligned films of the past couple of years;
it's virtually shoved under the carpet every time Julia Robert's career is
mentioned and it's generally dismissed as a bore. And in a lot of ways, it
IS boring; not a lot happens during the course of the plot and as a horror
film it utterly fails to provide a sense of urgency and fright in the

each choice reflects different possibilities all of which are
supportable by the text; no one vision can encompass every potential...

This courtroom thriller was one of the films that spawned a huge wave of
copycats through the mid '80's and early '90's. Now, of course, these types
of stories are on TV nightly in the glut of crime/law based shows. However,
in 1985, audiences could still be (and were) riveted to the big screen by
stories like this. Bridges plays a newspaper editor whose wife is brutally

In 1983 the Yuppie era was its rise: people became more and more

the same people who once protested in the 1960s and were once against
conformity and dreamed sweet ideals of they wanted in life. The Big
