I saw this movie without reading any reviews or watching trailers.I
trusted George Clooney but I was deeply disappointed by nearly
everything in the movie. I believe Georgie must try his luck in other
types of films like comedies as his last 5-6 movies were actually
simple and bad. As years pass people who watch a lot of films start to
recognize good and bad actors as well...

I just got back from seeing "The Men Who Stare at Goats" at the
Woodstock Film Festival. I walked in knowing the main plot, and I
expected it to be pretty good because of the great actors it has, the
premise of the story and the music used in the soundtrack. My
expectations weren't only met, but they were greatly exceeded.The story follows a broken-hearted journalist (McGregor...

In recent years, Disney's Pixar division, with their monopoly over
animation, has churned out some of the biggest, funniest, most
emotional material to hit theaters in the last ten years. By this

Based on the novel by Walter Kirn, George Clooney stars as corporate
downsizing expert Ryan Bingham, who is hired to help ease the
transition of long-term employees to the unemployment line across the
country. Taking his job very seriously and loving the 290 days away
from home—the only problem with that is the 70 days at home in his
empty apartment—his world gets tur...

I'm not the only one to notice the pattern in the Coens' filmography:
"Blood Simple." was followed by "Raising Arizona", "Fargo" by "The Big
Lebowski", and "No Country for Old Men" by "Burn After Reading". The
main concern one had about this film is whether it would be an
"Intolerable Cruelty" or a "Big Lebowski" for the Coens. Let's put it
this way: the reviews hav...

This is a well-made suspense film. It builds slowly, it features the
key characters in sometimes agonising close-up, it weaves an intricate
plot (a bit too intricate, in hindsight -- I'm still not sure why some
events were included), and George Clooney is masterful as the morally
conflicted character who does his best to hold his collapsing life
together, while slowly reali...

Ocean Thirteen's slick credit sequence, highlighting Brad Pitt in all
his movie star glory and letting us all know that Soderbergh and his
camera are up for some glossy fun, gets the heart racing in
anticipation of a slick, sly heist caper on par with #1 and superior to
#2.But then, as detail upon detail is heaped upon the audience and
increasingly silly machinations are pu...

This movie is an homage not only to the vocabulary of film noir , but
also to its social and political genesis. Film Noir developed after
World War II and was an outgrowth of both the cynicism that was
generated by WW II because it turned out to need another war to be the
war to end all wars.... and because of the enormous evil that World War
II revealed in contradistinction to...

My hat to George Clooney. He doesn't take the easy way out. His
seriousness of purpose is undeniable and his talents as a filmmaker a
concrete reality. This, his second feature, is a no frills account of a
period in American history that left visible scars but, as it happens,
many have forgotten. History repeats itself but its protagonists seem
diluted in this modern obsession ...

"Syriana" is a blistering, powerful film about the degree to which
governments and corporate conglomerates place the ambition to control
the world's oil supply above the well being of their citizens and
employees. In this game, there are only bad guys, and what separates
the villains from the protagonists is not a question of who's good and
who's bad, but rather how bad each is...

in the shapely form of Marilyn Rexroth (Catherine Zeta Jones) who wants
to marry (or preferably divorce) her way to riches. With Clooney hired
to represent her soon to be ex husband, he inevitably falls for the
gold diggers charms.Directe...

We lived through the depression and related to some of the conditions
portrayed. We have watched it perhaps a dozen times. Each time we see it

pick up on something we had missed because we were still laughing at, or

photographically great faces. We are still asking ourselves whether the

Yes I know. I've heard all the complaints already. "That's not how it
happened" (as if anybody really knows); "All of those events could not
have co-occurred on the same boat in the same trip" (as if anybody

movie. Don't see a movie to learn about "what really happened" unless

It's hard to really adequately describe this movie. Let
me try.For starters, in spite of the advertisements, it's not merely a remake of
"Kelly's Heroes". Yes, we are in a postwar situation, where a bunch of
Americans are trying to "recover" gold stolen
by the enemy, but that's the end of the similarities."Three Kings" does an excellent job of showing just how gonzo modern

Ah, 1998… Bill Clinton was still in the White House, the Gulf War had
no sequel, gas was under $2.00 a gallon, and a kinda-known actress was
in her pre-J. Lo/Jenny from the Block/Bennifer/media whore phase.Back when she used to have a little (now she has a lot), Jennifer Lopez
was actually enjoyable in Steven Soderbergh's 'Out of Sight.' I saw

I enjoyed this film, but I was left a little puzzled at the end by what
I'd just watched in terms of what type of movie this is.It starts off as a very Tarantino-esquire film, it's clear that he
wrote it as his famous dialogue is present. It's an enjoyable crime
thriller much along the lines of Tarantino's other works (such as Pulp
Fiction & Reservoir Dogs) but with a bit of Robert...

I would probably never decide to watch this film, had it not been for
my wife who rented the DVD. Just like many others, I expect romantic
comedies to be all the same - usually terribly unrealistic (talk about
suspension of disbelief!) as in the Pretty Woman, and the humor to be
3rd grade.But, One Fine Day, surprised me in many ways! First, it is not "I need
insulin right now!"...
