"Get Low" is a quiet and tender tale, which tries to be very moving,
but it never reaches an adequate emotional level. The film is about a
senile old man, marvelously portrayed by Robert Duvall, who wishes to
arrange a party for his funeral while he's still alive. The only
funeral parlor in this backwoods town during the depression era is
owned by a business...

I don't know what sort of people this film is supposed to be aimed
at,definitely not normal people,it may as well have been in black and

hardly have been any worse the colour did'nt add anything to it at

Four Christmases starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, I suppose
I can accept it, just very strange seeing them as a couple on screen
together. But anyways, every year we get a Chrismas movie, it's either
going to be fun or really bad, sorry to say, but Four Christmases is
nothing special, another year with an easy to forget movie. But still

(I just had to say that before anyone else!) I don't know anything about poker, but I enjoyed this film all right.The people in the audience who do understand the game were getting a
lot more out of it than I did. They were oohing and ahhing and tensing
up like they were at a real poker tournament.I'm surprised Drew Barrymore took a supporting role like this. She's

I saw that We Own The Night received a standing ovation at the European
critics screening and premiere at Cannes. Well, I can tell you at the
preview screening I saw a while ago in the US, the audience applauded
enthusiastically as well. The audience was totally into this movie in a
way you don't usually see anymore. Not just grooving on it, but
engrossed. Reminds me of The...

Watching AMC's Western miniseries Broken Trail is similar to reading a
compelling novel - the beauty's in the details. Rather than rushing
story and character development in order to get to the next action
scene (so as to appease those with Attention Span Deficit Syndrome),
Broken Trail understands that the mark of a really good Western lies
with interesting, colorful c...

It's been done many, many times. The rag-tag bunch of nobodies has to
square off against the unstoppable professionals of the best local
youth team. It is a great story, but it has been done to death. If

in it. The movie also tells the story of the relationship between
father and son with both comedy and to...

I cannot see how anyone would dis this movie unless they especially
disliked a particular actor. I thought the casting was great, right
down to the secondhand lion and the pig. The flashbacks were hilarious
because as we age, the things we did before become more dramatic and
are further enhanced. No one thinks about their past in terms of
mediocrity, and this was brought out in...

I've seen Gods and Generals twice, and I've enjoyed it both times. The
critics I've read seem to object to the piety, the length, and lack of
political correctness. It seems to have escaped them that the Civil War
was
fought in Victorian times, and that the Victorians were extremely pious
and
sentimental, not to mention hypocritical. However, this did not stop them

I took a shot at buying this DVD sight-unseen, something I rarely do
and usually regret, but not in this case. I found it even more
fascinating than I hoped, thanks to a totally-unknown actress. Two
viewings within a year has not changed my opinion.This movie is just different, a unique portrait of strange older
hit-man and the people in his life. I am not surprised a number of

This movie has taken a lot of stick. It was slated by critics when it
came out and was blamed for wrecking Nicolas Cage's career. The thing I
don't think people get is that it's not meant to be an epic, Oscar
contender of a movie, it's just some brilliant "Bruck-buster" action at
its best. Fast cars, quick editing and a great soundtrack - it does
exactly what it says on the tin...

Surprisingly, this was an excellent movie and certainly one that extends
beyond simply being in the action genre. The 6th Day grapples with the
ethics behind cloning and the broad spectrum of implications cloning could
have on our everyday lives. While yes, the movie near the end becomes
pretty action-oriented, it is a very smart movie overall, and it certainly
merits one's a...

5.9!? I can't believe that. I know disaster movies are usually crap
such as The Day After Tomorrow, Armageddon, Godzilla, Independence Day,

the cast though also did quite well. The story was handled in a fairly

As someone who loves good filmmaking, I rate this film among the best I've
ever seen in all areas of the craft. Some of the criticisms of this film
are
hard to fathom.The screenplay has the tight conciseness of a well-honed play (which this
essentially was derived from) and doesn't fail to prick at the emotions
and
the intellect of the viewer. The photography, the casting a...

This movie doesn't get the credit that it deserves. Travolta's speech at
the end of the movie to the doctor is incredible. Rarely do I ever see a
movie that acknowledges the value of a single human life like this movie
does. Most movies glorify sacrifice. This movie glorifies life. I
highly

anti-hero. While that may be true to an extent, read more into it and you can see

attraction.Then I saw Lonesome Dove. This film (actually a mini-series) is an absolute

Consider the range and the capture of characters in one movie, Colors
delivers multiple plot lines from a number of sides. I remember when this movie first came out I was in Jr. high school.

glorification and encouraging gang membership. To my surprise...

My favourite movie of all time. This was a flawed piece of work by
Coppola and seeing the documentary 'Heart of Darkness' made it even
more compelling. Coppola at this point was king of Hollywood after
making 'the Godfather' and 'GodfatherII' and had developed the ego
necessary to even dare try to make a movie like 'Apocalypse Now'.

This movie is way to be good to be labelled a sequel to The Godfather .
Rather it is more of a companion piece to the original and the two perfectly
compliment each other . IT is both a sequel and prequel showing the rise of
the young vito and moral decline of Micheal . Both characters are brought to
life with uncanny ability by Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino . To say that

Rather than concentrating on everything that is great about The

bad about it. Almost every film has something that I don't like about

Godfather. There is nothing weak about it and nothing that stands out
as bad. That's why it gets ten out o...

I had to check the DVD case twice - made in 1970. The only thing that
vaguely suggests the period in which the film was made are the
blaxploitation-style TV/hologram shows, and I'm stretching for that
one. Lucas' (and Ford Coppola's) realisation of this uniform future
society is immaculately researched and presented in costume, lighting
and shooting and - crucially - in content...

Director Michael Winner is a controversial figure, at least in his native
Britain, partly because of his political opinions, but chiefly on account
of
the `Death Wish' movies, which were widely seen as advocating wild-west

interested to learn that, before making these films, Winner was also

What a change of pace this movie is as compared with its genre today.
I'm no old fogey but would that modern directors become smart enough

cerebral. Stylistically, the director sets the stage beautifully for
McQueen's Bullit. The movie has a European feel (director Peter Yates
