The Details begins with a pleasant enough introduction and promises of
a humorously dark spin on suburbia . With a stellar cast that offers up
top notch performances the movie moves along with a theme-park
roller-coaster like flow between comedy and tragedy. Certainly humorous
and at times truthful, the movie has a Jekyll & Hyde flow that creates
a whole lesser then its pi...

James Ivory proves to be a guarantee of grace when trying to render the
complexity of those novels where the evocative power of the word must
be translated into the visual form. The result, in this movie, like in
his previous adaptations of great literary classics, is an elegant and
graceful transposition of the novel by Peter Cameron. I read it some
years ago, and watchin...

Richard Eyre has carefully constructed an intimate tale of a man who
discovers his wife's infidelity. Liam Neeson and Antonio Banderas provide subtle and mature
performances, with Romola Garai outstanding as the daughter. The film is beautifully shot on location in Milan and Lake Como as well
as in London and Ely.The plot twists are effective, leaving one to reflect on how little w...

"The Nanny Diaries" did not get very good reviews but I liked the
previews so I decided to see it instead of another movie that got much
better reviews and I'm glad I did."The Nanny Diaries" is entertaining the entire time. It might not have
you rolling in the aisles like "Superbad," but it is not that kind of
movie.The main reason to see this film is because of Scarlett Johans...

I keep reading comments referring to O'Neill as an FBI Agent. Eric
O'Neill was never an FBI Agent, but rather just a support employee.
That's part of what makes this movie so exciting with an almost "David
and Goliath" quality. O'Neill was thrust into one of the most important
cases in FBI history with virtually no undercover experience. His
ability to hang in t...

To put it simply, "The Savages" is the most human look at life I've
seen in theaters this year. It's incredibly easy to relate to if you
have ever ever seen some relative or family friend of yours get old and
then forget who you are due to some sort of elder person's disease. It
features three of the year's finest performances from Laura Linney,
Philip Seymour H...

There is much of the troubling darkness of Ray Lawrence's earlier work,
movies like Bliss and Lantana, present in Jindabyne, an Australian
rendition of Raymond Carver's short story 'So much water so close to
home'. From the first scenes - a sexually-motivated killing, implied
rather than shown - Jindabyne holds your attention despite its somewhat
slow pace and c...

I just saw this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival and i have to say
that i thought it was amazing. The combination of humor and sincerity
really made the movie worthwhile. The movie was about a seventeen
year-old boy whose mother and father are very religious. The seventeen
year old, Ben, decides to work for a retired actress who teaches him
about girls and driving and life. I...

Wonderful, wonderful movie. A lesson in film-making. I know a lot of
people won't be able to see it for what it is because of the
supernatural/horror elements (which are usually a turn-off for film
snobs), but the movie is just extremely well-made.Consider the fact that Linney's character's true conflict is not
winning the trial, but a satisfyingly complex internal struggle which I...

A friend of mine was hesitant to see this movie, because she'd heard
that it pushes the agenda that divorce is never a good option for
dealing with marital problems. I don't really know who told her this,
and I hope this same reason isn't keeping others from seeing it. This
isn't at all what I took away from the film. It certainly communicates
the idea that divorce isn't easy, ...

"We've got a couple of hours before dinner; time for a couple of sex
surveys. Who wants to go first?" This line from KINSEY is a great representation of the movie. It
illustrates the film's offhanded sense of humor and shows that the
otherwise taboo topic of sex is tossed about in a way that can be seen
as being either casually shocking or mundanely trivial. And, logically
enou...

best-selling novel. Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon play three
working class Bostonians forever bound together by a mutual childhood
tragedy that has since gone on to define the kind of people they've
become and the kind of lives they've led. T...

Don't be put off by one movie critic's assessment (morally dishonest, no
stars) of this film - he just didn't "get it." This character driven
murder
mystery is one of the decade's best! Definitely four stars!The layered conflicts drive the story forward like a Mack truck careening
down the side of a mountain, making the movie seem much shorter than its
130
minutes. Kevin S...

his cell phone and watch. He knocks on a nearby house to call for help, and
the man who answers the door attacks him, saying Klein's been around three

A young gay man brutally killed by two young men trying to make a point
about their hatred of homosexuals is the basis of Moises Kaufman's
brilliant play seen here a few years ago. On the stage the play is
somewhat detached because of the limitations in the text, but as a
film, adapted for the screen by Mr. Kaufman, the immediacy of the story
is more shocking than in the theate...

Ashaming that the Academy of motion picture arts and sciences has never
realized what a brilliant actor Jim Carrey really is. The is no
explanation for him not getting the Oscar for the Truman Show, there is
no excuse for not even nominating him for The Truman Show and Man on

When I first saw this movie I wasn't expecting anything great. I
thought it was just going to be another 'corruption-in-the
White-house-plot' but it turned out to be rather different. At the time
such films were popular thanks to the Lewinskigate scandal. Absolute
Power is much better than other films in the sub-genre like Murder at
1600.The plot and subject matter are handled ...

Outstanding thriller on par with "The Usual Suspects", "Primal Fear" is an
impressive film about one lawyer's (Richard Gere) yearning for the
spotlight. He gets his wish after an archbishop is brutally murdered in
Chicago. It appears that choir boy Edward Norton (in his first film,
Oscar-nominated) is the killer, but there is more to this case than meets
the eye. In the end,...

Congo is the first movie on the IMDB for which I am writing a user comment.
I am giving it this distinction because, although it is not the best movie
I
have ever seen, nor my all-time favorite movie, it is one of my personal
favorites nonetheless. If I could choose only ten movies to own, or even
just five, Congo would be one of them.Because so many people dislike Congo, or a...

I had never even heard of this movie until a couple of years ago. This is
yet another stellar movie from the tremendous class of 1994.I was absolutely enthralled by this story, so I went and read the novel it
was derived from, Silas Marner by George Eliot. It was a really good story
as well, but Martin's adaptation was outstanding. He managed to modernize
the story so it could b...
