In brief, this film is about a family of crooks who own a house
somewhere outside a small town in the post-WWII United States. They
have developed numerous ways to swindle money and goods out of various
strangers who happen to stop by their house which looks like a regular
country-side family motel. Be sure, they're real masters of this
dangerous but profitable business. Ho...

When " A Night At The Museum" was sold out at my local multiplex, I
reluctantly purchased a ticket for "Boy Girl Thing". The reviews that I
read were fairly miserable and I was expecting a clunker.I was completely surprised by how brilliant it was. Hilariously funny.
Surprisingly moving. Great soundtrack. I was completely hooked by the
journey that Nell and Woody went on in each ot...

Atom Egoyan is one of my most trusted directors. He never disappoints
me even when I'm not totally taken by the film. This is a perfect
example of that. I loved it and hated it, all at the same time.
Everything works and nothing works. Bacon and Firth couldn't be better
as the Martin and Lewis, boy and girl act and yet...I didn't quite
believe it. Good as they are they're not h...

First of all, let me say that I was one of the few people in the
theater the weekend this came out and that surprised me because,
although this is not the best movie ever made, it was far from the
worst. Without a Paddle is a good example of what I'm talking about.
Intern Academy was WAY funnier that that movie and WAY more people went
to see that piece of crap. So how come so ...

For anyone in Dan Mahowny's life who cared to look, all the signs were
there. Bad hair, disheveled clothes, no overcoat in Toronto in winter,
empty apartment and a '74 Dodge Dart. He should have had more but did
not. He had everything the addict needs - a source of income, a source
of his addiction and several "enablers" in his life.Owning Mahowny tells the famous and true story of...

Most people can't differentiate between a bad film and a film they don't
like. Many people didn't like this motion picture because of its liberal
subtext. That doesn't make it a bad film. Most people don't realize that
this was a Canadian production and that probably explains the political
slant. However, as action films go, it was intelligent, high tech,
stimulating, borde...

I remember how, after seeing this movie, everyone in my office was
talking about Catherine Zeta-Jones and how she was, arguably, the most
beautiful woman in the world. The women in the office went to go see it
after hearing all the fuss, many going just to confirm that "she isn't
all that." In a way, it's a bit of a shame because it's a decent heist
movie with a good plot and p...

It's cold in the small hamlet of Mystery, Alaska, but there's plenty of
warmth in `Mystery, Alaska,' the film, directed by Jay Roach, about the town
and the sport that is ingrained in the collective consciousness of the
community. Hockey is the game, and when a former resident, now a
journalist, writes a story about Mystery's home-town team and their

It seems that with A Life Less Ordinary you either love it or you hate it.
Personally I am of the former persuasion, with it being a favourite of
mine.

Hodge's previous works. ALLO is in a completely different in style to
their
previous two films Shallow Grave and Trainspotting. But to say it is the...

Many have called me childish, but who could not love this film? I am
very surprised that the IMDb has such a low rating for it. I expected
it to be much higher. It isn't a "Yay, Hollywood Glamour Film," it's
just a plain little slapstick comedy, with a mouse as the center of all
of the chaos. Sadly, I lost this film when I brought it with me on a
trip abroad, so I haven't seen ...

I don't understand the trashing comments I just read. This film is very,
very good. I've seen it at least 5 or 6 times and it was enjoyable the
first and last time I saw it. The film making was superb. I actually did
some research to see where that cottage was located and see if there were
any rentals.I saw no character flaws in anyone. Each character was precise and very

My Cousin Vinny is one of the most brilliant comedies ever produced.
There is simply so much to love about this movie.First, this is not simply a slapstick comedy. Sure, there is some of
that, including a few hilarious moments in the Alabama mud. But the
dialogue in this film is terrifically funny. The writers were able to
turn a courtroom script into an incredibly funny exchange o...

has a story about the American indians ever been told with such emotion

actor.9/10...

Entertaining Jim Belushi vehicle, a modern cockeyed version of It's A

what life would have been like if he had "made it big". Jim is at his

with a good story and supporting cast; seems like real chemistry between
him
and Hamilton. Not an Oscar contender but good warm-hearted fun....

the
bright side, and DeVito is fantastic as Vincent, the greedy, dull, and
