The good parts of "Julie and Julia" are so darn strong, beautiful, and
new that J&J becomes an instant classic. Grateful audiences are going
to be laughing and crying and being inspired by this movie for a long,
long time. The Julie portion is the weaker of the two, but not so weak
that it sinks the film.Meryl Streep as Julia Child is one of the most endearing, arresting

"Doubt can be a bond as strong as fear." If ever there was a time in
our country's recent history where that line carried the force of
relevance, it's now.And though it's set in the early 1960s (roughly a year after the
Kennedy assassination), there's no doubt that John Patrick Shanley's
adaptation of his own Pulitzer-Prize winning stage play is a response

Roman Polanski's name, while illustrious, is clouded by both tragedy
and scandal. Tragedy because his parents died in the Holocaust and his
wife Sharon Tate, when eight months pregnant, was horribly murdered in
the Manson Family massacre, scandal because of a notorious case of sex
with a minor that led to his flight from the United States, where he is
still "wanted." In Fra...

however affect each other through course of action presented in debate.

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 ...

I've read many of the comments regarding Adaptation, and it seems as
though most people have disliked this movie because of its ending. They
make claims such as, "Kaufman's script was great until the end," or,
"Why did Kaufman talk about not wanting to "hollywoodize" his script,
and then do it in the end anyway?"I don't think most people understand why he did it.Throughout the movi...

The reason I think this movie is fabulous is that it has so many layers
of emotion. From the script and the fabulous acting you can tell that
there is a history behind all of the feelings that there are. You
understand why the characters take certain actions and why the do not
make others. You can feel sympathy and joy and love and sorrow for them
all at once. You see humanity ...

While not a terrible movie it has a few serious problems. The problems
start with the casting. Edward Furlong is cast to play the 16 year old
son of parents played by Meryl Streep and Liam Neeson, but at age 16 he
appears to be roughly five inches shorter than Streep and is utterly
dwarfed by Neeson. Furlong looks more like he was their 12 year old son
than their 16 year old so...

This film took this jaded, tough-to-manipulate moviegoer and reduced him to
a blubbering mass of water. Instead of the usual over-the-top death scene,
the film finds a clever, non-contrived way to end by leaving these characters
at a magical moment of mutual understanding. It is one of the most powerful
endings I've ever seen in a film, and believe me, I've seen thousands. What

This movie is highly entertaining. Bacon is so mean that I sometimes also
feel antipathy for the characters he plays in other films. And Meryl Streep
is convincing in her first action role. The script didn't give Mazzello any
great moments but he is good as ever. The only sad thing is that you always
know the story will have a happy ending. But you can't blame the film for
