My wife and I just watched this movie and we both really enjoyed it.
The main character Bob Funk reminds me of Campbell Scott in Roger
Dodger. He is obviously intelligent (apparent from his witty and
insightful dialog) but also somewhat negative and self destructive
which makes him more multidimensional than your average sharp tongued
playboy. It makes for a good time to watch ...

This movie was a bit of a bore. I walked in rather neutral with my
expectations, and after the first 10 minutes realized that this ball of
cheese was not for me. I sat through it all, for the sake of the
company I was with.Mandy Moore and John Krasinski are cute, but very flat characters.
There is little or no character development in this film. Robin
Williams as Reverend Frank...

An offbeat comedy in the style of "Bottle Rocket" and "After Hours".I had my trepidations about watching this film but I am very happy that
I did go and see this film.Why? In general the cast of this film is very talented especially Colin
Hanks as Wiley Roth.Addtionally the whole plot is just so different from the reprocessed
crap that usually comes out of Hollywood. Wiley Roth(Hanks) ...

I just saw this film at the New York Film Festival followed by a Q & A
session with David Lynch, Laura Dern, and Justin Theroux. I will try my
best to recount my thoughts while they are fresh, and incorporate what
the film maker and actors had to say. "I can't tell if it's yesterday or tomorrow and it's a real mind f---" This single quote from Laura Dern sums the movie up f...

According to The Grudge, there's a Japanese belief that when someone
dies in a powerful grip of rage, then a curse is left behind. It's a
"stain" that forever becomes a part of the place where the death
occurred, and it will kill everything it touches. All I can say is if
that were true then the movie-going public better hope I never die in a
theater. The audience at this movie...

It is rare to come across films as unique and fine tuned as CHRYSTAL,
even more so when the only recognizable feature is the big name star on
the film's cover. But in this first cinematic outing by the enormously
gifted Ray McKinnon there are so many sparks of greatness that they
dwell on the screen like glowing embers until the collective heat
explodes into a impressive fire o...

First off, let it be known that the reason I rented this was because of
my seemingly never-ending crush on Milla Jovovich. I started watching
because of her, but I kept watching because I genuinely enjoyed what I
saw. The film starts out a tad slow, but it quickly picks up and never
lets the viewer down again. The thought of not paying attention to it
never crossed my mind past...

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...

Drop Zone is an action ride from start to finish starring Wesley Snipes as
a
detective hunting down the men who killed his brother. No, the movie
won't
win any academy awards, but it is a thoroughly enjoyable action romp. The
action is excellent, the girls are gorgeous, and the musical score is top
notch. If you go in looking for a touching movie, don't bother. But if

I read Tom Robbins' EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES as a teenager. I loved
every word. It was sexy, funny, and full of glamorous scenery and
beautiful writing. But when I saw the movie, I could not believe what a
dull, sour, joyless piece of junk it was. How did this happen? I think
someone in Hollywood read this book and filed it under "GAY PRIDE --
WOMEN -- LESBIANS." (That's the...

One of my least favorite experiences is to find a movie I loved in my
single-digits, rewatch it in wonder, then wait half an hour (at most)
and finally concede that it was a real stinker. I may sentimentalize
movies from my youth, but not the ones that really don't deserve my
affection.This one does.Crysta, a simple, innocent, and at times flippant fairy, is an

This movie isn't about being, or even about being a hustler. "My Own
Private Idaho" is about finding a home. In his finest performance, River
Phoenix plays Mike, a narcoleptic street hustler with false memories of a
terrific childhood. Mike wants to find his mother and family, but how or
why he left them is never discussed.
This is a movie that shows life at the lowest rung,...

Recipient of the prestigious Palme d'Or award at Cannes, David Lynch's
"Wild at Heart" is an amazingly brilliant spectacle for the senses.
Bold splashes of deep red, curiously staged musical numbers (Nicolas
Cage does his own singing – and he's great!), and the continuous
references to "The Wizard of Oz" help create a surreal and dreamlike
texture to the narrative. The sto...

I think I liked Child's Play 2 more than most people, given the reviews
that I've read and the movie's low voter rating on the IMDb. A cute
kid's doll is once again the unlikely home of Charles Lee Ray,
notorious serial killer, again feeding off of the surrealism created by
seeing a kid's doll screw it's face into expressions of the purest rage
and spouting all manner of profan...

This is a period picture that takes place in 1971, but there are no
references to Vietnam, the flower power movement, Kent State or any other
issues or events of the day. This is because the characters have nothing to
do with that world. Bob's thoughts revolve around drugstores like planets
around the sun. His family of dope thieves lives in almost total isolation.

You know, most people who have not lived through domestic violence may
see this film as yet another "man beating his wife" story but I grew up
with domestic violence. It is a painful and scary way to develop into a
young woman. So I took this story very personally. I believed it to be
very realistic and and shocking. A mother who condones the abuse is all
too common on both sid...
