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...

I just watched this at London Film Festival & went in expecting to hate
it as I loved the original. But I have to say, the film is excellent,
certainly Cage's best film & best performance since Leaving Las Vegas.
Herzog has done a brilliant job & the film stands on it's own, apart
from the Ferrara film. I won't spoil bits by mentioning them, but the

Though there is nothing wrong with the typical action film, it's always
nice to see a well-made drama which features strong performances and an
awards-worthy script. Crazy Heart is a film about an alcoholic country
singer, played by Jeff Bridges, looking for a second chance in his
career and his life. This second chance arrives in the form of Maggie
Gyllenhaal, who pl...

After watching this film, I am left completely confused. Normally I do
well with confusing films, such as Mulholland Drive, but this was just
completely senseless. I felt as though each part was written by someone
else without looking at the previous parts, and then they just went
ahead and made it without looking at the script at all. I had a lot of
hope, coming into this but ...

My wife said we should go see this film when it was being shown at a
local film festival. I did not know what I going to see or to expect. I
thought it was going to be a 15-minute short amateur effort. What I saw
was one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in years. A story about
a family (emphasis on story and family) and not a big budget film where
the special effects ...

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...

There is no way this film can be confused with other thrillers. It's
the movie version of the book Thr3e by Ted Dekker. The book is
excellent and this film is an attempt to tell the complex story of the
book simply. Being a movie, there is less time for the detail which
made the book especially clever, but the film does tell the story
reasonably well. If you have read the b...

This was obviously done on little or no budget, and they make the most
of it. Sam (Sung Kang), gone for a year, returns to Los Angeles to get
revenge for his friend who was killed in a drug deal gone bad, and to
get back his girlfriend. The film is told in minimalist fashion, with a
definite film noir attitude. The story is pretty straightforward, but
serves to reveal Sam's...

The Hills Have Eyes, although a remake of the original, was everything
a horror movie should be. Typically, I'm not a fan of slasher flicks,
but this movie had elements I like to see in a movie. I don't like to
see the protagonists making stupid mistakes (the old "curiosity killed
the cat" syndrome), I don't like being able to guess the villain 20
minutes into the movie (althou...

This was an involving story of a military man accused of murdering
civilians 15 years earlier and then going A.W.O.L. The whole story
revolves around one question: did he do it or is he innocent?That question keeps the viewer guessing for much of the film and
provides some very good suspense. It's another film, however, in which
there is a strong anti-U.S. military flavor, so t...

This film never had a chance as a commercial feature, but it should have
been seen in spite of some weak parts. Robby Henson, directing his own
material, proves he can tell a good story. If one adds to this the
atmosphere of crooked politicians in Louisiana, the possibilities are
endless.The film holds one's interest until one realizes who is the person who
killed Mona. The dir...

For some, Stephen King is just a mere auteur of horror stories. If you look
closer, you'll see he is much more. Nearly all his stories are melancholic
tales about the loss of childhood innocence. With a paranormal twist, but
that really isn't the most important. I even think that Hearts in Atlantis
would have worked even better, if the whole paranormal thing would have been

Raising Cain is an awesomely baffling set of pomo hijinks care of the man De
Palma. I can't blame the hordes of people who hate this movie for its
nastiness and incoherency, but those are the reasons I love it so much. It's
a total parody/homage/celebration of the kind of razor-inspired fun De Palma
spent much of his career perfecting, with the fun (and intentionally

For those who argue that Die Hard 2 is a desperate re-hash of the
original... So what? I didn't expect a companion piece like The Godfather
Part II. Die Hard was about a really cool guy in a really bad situation,
and the result was probably the greatest action movie ever made. Die Hard 2
achieves status on its own just by being about the same thing. When so many
movies want ...

I love this film. That is not to say that it doesn't have flaws. The
dialogue, the camera-work, the lighting, all these things sometimes
seem clunky and amateurish. However, the goal of the film is to put a
romantic relationship under a microscope and portray it as naturally
and honestly as possible. In order to achieve that, some things must be
sacrificed: secondary charac...
