I read that this film has been labeled by parents as a "Disney Bomb"
because it's too scary for their young children. Parents who take kids
to see any movie need to be aware of something: if it's rated PG there
are likely going to be scenes that your six year old will not enjoy --
even if the name Disney is attached to it. The cutesy versions of A

Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent) an obvious student of genre

This is a truly lovely film, both heart-warming and rending in equal
measure.Bob Hoskins is magnificent, as is all the acting (especially the two
little girls), and I wouldn't be surprised to see some Oscar
nominations in there.What I most liked about the film, however, was its understanding of
life in lower-middle/working class England, not least the current

Just spent some time watching this move .. and unlike the previous
reviewer enjoyed this film. I disagreed with him so much it prompted me
to write my first ever comments on IMDb. In the trivia part of the IMDb
description it says that actual events were used as inspiration for the
scenes and i thought they were all quite believable. "He's hidin in da

excellent movies (for example:Bad Lieutenant or Ms.45) with very little

As someone who has spent a number of years preparing the definitive
biography of actor George Reeves, I approached this film with great
trepidation. I had previously turned down several offers for the film
rights to my own book because I felt it unlikely that those projects
would result in a film truthful to the essence of the man I had come to
know so well. All I can say is th...

It's hard to comment on this film without including a spoiler, but I
feel it is necessary to try because of all of the unwarranted bad
reviews this film is receiving. If you go into it expecting to see a
rendition of The 6th Sense, you might be disappointed. If you go into
it expecting to see a logical plot with a chronological story behind it

I've been a fan of Walden Robert Cassotto's for a long, long time, and
I've been following the progress (or non-progress) of the bio-pic based
on his life for an equally long time (couldn't have been any more

finally bring the project to the proverbial light of day). I'm

It would be all too easy to dismiss Enemy At The Gates as being an attempt
to cash in on Saving Private Ryan's success, but in my opinion, it is a very
worthy competitor. In fact, it is a better film. I say that primarily
because I am sick to death of Americans using World War II as a basis for
films that generally amount to little more than propaganda. Of course, Enemy

It is quirky, yes, but I enjoyed it's offbeat sense of humor and unique
storytelling. The characters were wacky, and so was the story, but I
liked
it. So it's not a total waste of time despite the other person's
feelings.
For some people anyway. I watched it because Wes Bentley and I worked

For my money this is the best film of the year.
Best in that it didn't cost a fortune but packs as much of an emotional
wallop as any blockbuster with 200 times the budget.
Bob Hoskins plays Darcy, the burnt out soccer coach whose past history is
told in flashback through his diary.
It tells of how he trained up a team of no-hopers into becoming boxers with

does not depict him as a monster. Stone and Hopkins give us Nixon, the man...

This is a cheesy movie for people who play video games. I don't understand
why some people adamantly insist this movie should never have been made.
It's cute and entertaining. It doesn't stay completely loyal to the game
storyline, but Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo are perfect for these two
roles. Worth watching if you see it on TV....

the heart of a black lawyer ha hates and has to deal with his ghost.

even better. Of course it provides lots of funny moments and the two actors

'Brazil.'
Brazil(in its proper form) is a long film at well over two hours, it has
many cutaways to dream sequences that are only loosely related to the
rest
of the film, and the narrative story is not always the driving force of
the
film which many people find confusing. With all these things going

absolutely love this movie. It is complex, and extremely accurate in its
