Why this movie went straight to DVD is beyond me. The mood is pure
southern Gothic, the acting is terrific, and the story is complicated
and sad.The performances were dead on. TLJ hits Dave Robicheaux on the button.
But the best is Mary Steenburgen as Bootsie. She really nails this
part.The story is about a Cajun cop who is haunted by his own demons, and by
the demons he faces ...

One reviewer remarked how "Ed Harris understands (the) Western (genre)"
I couldn't agree more. This film is a delight. The writing is solid,
the dialog sparked with humor, the heroes are more than caricatures and
cardboard cut-outs, the villains are worthy anti-heroes and the back-up
is wonderful. The performances of Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen and Jeremy
Irons as the main p...

I think to gain a full appreciation of Don't Come Knocking, it will
help to be familiar with the work of Pulitzer and multiple Obie winning
Sam Shepard, who contributes the screenplay for this movie. I've read
reviews all over the internet complaining that the film lacks in terms
of realism, but this complaint seems ill-conceived if aimed at Shepard,
who has generally operated ...

Between the horrible acting, with apparent symptoms of low-grade
voice-immodulation, and an extremely lacking story line, this film goes
nowhere pretty quickly.I have to say that I was surprised that the acting could seem so
unnatural. The lines were delivered as if they were read by a monotone
second grader off of a hard-to-read cue card. The action was anything
but. The music...

Dickie Pilager is running for governor of Colorado. He's a good-looking
frat boy with a dubious past that includes at least one drunken-driving
charge. But he comes from a politically influential family and his
daddy's a powerful U.S. senator. Dickie, however, lacks panache. He
can't put together a simple sentence without stumbling. He's terrible
when he's unscripted, cannot fu...

the
horrors of war at its beginning. He then introduces his two principle
characters who would gradually move the audience into their world wrought
by
war and hardship. We watch as the characters begin to unravel their
internal
tortures and their need to subdue their isolation to face their regrets<...

`Life, or Something Like It' is a romantic comedy with a better-than-average
premise. It attempts to address the question `if you suddenly discovered
that you might only have a week more to live, how would you spend that
remaining time and what changes would you make to your life?' Perhaps
because this IS a romantic comedy, the best the film can manage to do within
the tight ...

The last time I reviewed a film helmed by a music video director, I was
very
angry at what I'd seen (`Mystery Men'), but Tarsem Singh spares us the
fish-eye lenses and commercial overindulgences and decides to concentrate
on
presenting an astonishing visual and audible journey into the mind of a
serial killer in `The Cell'.Carl Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio) kills women by dr...

Anyone who has followed Rourke's career lately has to be pleased that this
flick was made.Yes,the movie rips off countless other action films but who
cares when you've got the pumped-up Rourke whooping ass in the middle of
all
the cliches.Danny Trejo gives a very creepy supporting performance and I
really enjoyed the score as well.I bought this movie after renting it and

To me this one is a lot better than the third one, and just about as good
as
the original. I don't understand why people don't like this movie. Bob
Uecker is as funny, if not funnier than he was in the original. Randy Quaid
(hey vile thing) is hilarious as an obsessed Indians fan who turns
anti-fan.
The new characters are very funny and wacky. Also The game at the end is

The fish stick kitten scene made me laugh so hard I missed most of the
rest of the movie, but I'm sure it was also great. I don't think this
movie will ever get the recognition it deserves. Mostly because Chris
Elliot is kind of unpleasant. Not to me. Well, okay yes to me. He is
unpleasant to me, but in a good way. People should just lighten up and
realize that this movie is br...

Say what you will about Mark Twain, but the story of Huckleberry Finn
and Jim was truly his best. Forget Tom Sawyer and his fence - the tale
of a mischievous child from an abusive home escaping with a runaway
slave capable of enlightening said-child's perspectives on freedom gets
my vote. At the height of the popularity of Bart Simpson, Disney
released another adaptation of...

A surprise hit....at least with me. I found this dark comedy hilarious
in spots and so-so in others, but overall a funny movie. With comedy
that's what happens anyway: some jokes connect; others don't. Most are
pretty good in here but beware: some of the jokes are in poor taste,
but that's a dark comedy for you. Also, some Catholics might be
offended because the film takes some...

As you might know, Baseball is not big in Germany. Hardly anybody knows or
understands the rules. People watch soccer here. Basketball gets bigger. But
Baseball? No.So this movie, which many of my friends watched as well, was my first
contact with this interesting sport. Of course, it is a fairy tale. Of
course, the underdog won't get that big that it will beat everybody and win

I lived in Santa Fe, NM for 20 years which is only about 20 miles from
Truchas, NM where TMBW was filmed. This movie was right on the money in
its portrayal of Northern New Mexico, both in its culture and in its
politics. The movie itself is one of the most sublime films I've ever
seen in the true sense of the word. It has grandeur of thought, emotion
and spirit. It has been ba...

I really enjoyed the movie. I had only seen small parts of the original
movie which I did not like. This remake was much better. The emotional
performance that Don Johnson gave was outstanding! I feel that all the
cast members fit their parts except Judith Ivey. I'm not sure who could
have done it better, but she just did not seem to fit. Cybil Shepeard
and Don Johnson stole th...

love Country music but I can stomach it. I would never wear a cowboy
hat but I wear hats. I don't live in a trailer but I do eat tuna salad

The year is 1825… The story begins with a British aristocrat named John Morgan who finds
himself captured by Sioux warriors… At first he's mocked and treated
like an animal and then he's dragged to their camp where he is given to
work for an old squaw (Judith Anderson). Before too long the 'grand white gentleman' up with another captive
