Almost accidentally I ended up in front of the big screen to see this
movie. At first I wasn't very happy with this 'accident', thinking that
I must have seen enough animated movies by now! I mean, yes they're all
very nice with funny characters and nice graphics and all, but come on!
How many of these movies can a man takes?! Turns out: at least one more! It wa...

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...

Pixars last three films have been genius on every level, and they hope
to continue this winning streak with toy story 3 and it just doesn't
deliver. I was a big fan of the first two movies especially the second

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

This is by so far the funniest movie of all time, and for all the wrong
reasons. And here's just a few examples why: - When the baby is born,
he is launched quarter-back style from the womb into the arms of a
running doctor - A boy with a flatulence problem is best friends with a
child-genius who happens to have no sense of smell, named Alan A. Alan
- He travels around the ...

"Whoever has looked deeply into the world might well guess what wisdom
lies in the superficiality of men," is a quotation attributed to
Nietzsche. The first half of The Walker could be said to demonstrate
such a principle, particularly the mien of its chief protagonist,
Carter Page III (flawlessly played by Woody Harrelson). Yet the second
half would give that observation an al...

Before you watch this DVD there is something very important that you
must understand. Richard Donner never completed Superman II. And, since
he never completed the film it was impossible to truly make a "Donner
cut" per say. What this DVD (edited and produced by Michael Thau) shows
us is what the film "may" have looked like. Once you understand that
you will be able to enjoy th...

This film can be summed up in two words. Superman Trouble. That is the
case.
There are two versions of the film "Superman II." One is the vision of
acclaimed director Richard Donner, full of color flourishes, and camera
work
by the late Geoffrey Unsworth. The second, is the vision put on director
Richard Lester, by choice of the film's producers, Alexander and Ilya

This movie was a very good adaptation of the book, and this coming from

times, which I think makes it harder to like any film adaptation.

that really didn't have a lot to do with the plot-line. I would say the

I became a fan of the TV series `Homicide: Life on the Street' late in the
show's run, but became a fan very quickly. It was a cop show unlike any
other: visually different in its use of hand-held cameras, taking the viewer
everywhere, with its multiethnic and mutiracial cast and their varying and
fascinating personalities, and that it covered all of the good and bad of a

It's hard to believe a film this sunny came from Robert Altman, and is also
this good, but there you go. While I love some of his films, like M*A*S*H,
MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER, NASHVILLE, THE PLAYER, and SHORT CUTS, there are
times when I feel he has a fundamental contempt for his subject matter, like
in THE LONG GOODBYE and POPEYE, and for his characters. But while this

I recently watched this movie for the first time, and as a 19 year old
black male it spoke to me. However, I can see this being a film that
everyone can appreciate. Especially now, with Lebron James and other
upcoming HS athletes, you really see the other side of life that only
they know.This movie detailed the life of the #1 basketball star in HS, and the

Usually we get treated to one type of spy movie these days. This type is
made up of good looking young agents with all sorts of high tech weapons and
gear. There are beautiful women who are just lining up to sleep with the
good guy. The Fourth Protocol is not one of these movies and thank goodness!
It is one of the most realistic cold war spy movies out there. Despite it's

adventures in the countryside.Basically Ronnie and Will are on the edge. They hate their lives so

Unlike many other films, which are disturbing either by dint of their naked
unpleasantness (Man Bites Dog) or their sheer violence (most Peckinpah

derives far more from its slow build-up and the tangible sense of isolation
