I rented this movie as soon as it came out on video so i did not get
the full effect of a movie going experience. I suggest this movie to
anyone looking for a movie that will make them think and does fit the
average movie mold. I really like how in the movie everything in the plot came together.
Throughout the movie I struggled to understand the events that were

Having seen numerous reviews praising this movie I had high
expectations. Unfortunately this movie wasn't the interesting look into
the mind of a killer that I was expecting. I haven't read the original
novel so I can't comment on how this movie compares to it, but as a
stand alone movie it is extremely slow and makes very little sense.
From the bizarre cart...

about it when I sat down. By the end of the movie I was sitting in my

couldn't be... good god!" The use of real vs. recreated footage gets you. The sounds in the real

Perhaps, the most startling aspect of "Two Lovers" is Joaquin Phoenix's
performance. Superb. I haven't really liked any of the James Gray's
films, until now that is. There is something profoundly moving and
profoundly truthful here and I'm sure it has to do with Phoenix's
portrayal. Gwynneth Paltrow is wonderful as the girl walking an
emotional tightrope. An...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a film unlike any I've ever seen
and probably ever will. A true epic that left me utterly speechless. It
accomplished so much through such simplicity. Everything was top notch
from the elegant directing to the subtly wonderful performances down to
the magical score. The film demands you to feel not only for the death

OK, I've been wanting to watch this for soooo long and finally I made
it! First of all forget the adverts, they completely betray the movie.

I am tired of people writing comments like this, "Not Fincher's best".
Honestly who cares. We all agree that Fincher's best is either Seven or
Fight Club, two outstanding masterpieces. There is a big margin between
a film like one of those and a terrible film, and people don't seem to
realize that. These people even do this with other filmmakers like
Spielberg or Sc...

While Girl in the Park is never great, it manages to be a solid drama

for younger, more dynamic action stars, leaving him stuck with leftover

The high frequency of attacks on this film as being 'proArmenian propaganda'
is a testament to the power of the movie. The historical accuracy or moral
culpability of the Turks vs. the Armenians in this conflict is not within my

I suspect, so I will just judge this as a movie.Egoyan has managed the trick o...

The fact that so many people hated this film comes as no surprise to me, but
not, I believe, because it was a bad film. On the contrary this was a superb
film that has, for those willing to look beneath the surface, a much deeper
story to be told.Simply put, the film is not 'feel-good'. The subject matter is disturbing,
and challenges one's view of religion and belief in the existe...

Fallen is not your typical suspense film. There is very little gore, a
clever plot, gorgeous cinematography...but it all adds up to the scariest
movie I've ever seen. Why? It plays with your mind. The horror is confined
to your brain and not shown onscreen. Some people will (and do) hate this
film; it eschews graphic storytelling for a visual, intellectual approach.

Gattaca is a brilliant under-rated piece of cinema that the not-too-distant

does it well.There is nothing about Gattaca that I didn't like. It is a subtle pi...

Cronenberg's previous work, and those who have not read J.G. Ballard,
whose novel was the basis for this film. Cronenberg excels at bringing diff...

Religion has always been a clouded issue to me. There is absolutely no
evidence that there is a God or an afterlife. But that hasn't stopped
me ( and billions of people ) from believing in something. And I have
always been taught that if there is good, then there is also the bad.
If there is a heaven, there has to be a hell. The Prophecy tells us
that there is, but it is no...

movie from start to finish. Elias Koteas gives an awesome performance that
just shows once again how he is one of the most overlooked actors in

upon sex to gain the viewer's interest. I love this movie, have
probably seen it a a few dozen times, especially in the original,
