"Faster", as a title, may be a good marketing slant - it seems no more
than just an attention getting device. This film doesn't hold back on
what is going to happen next so in many ways it doesn't seem "fast" at
all. The driving is fast, the kills come with regularity, but the
steadiness, even with some intensity present, plods along. It purposely

Well I just saw this film first thing Friday (opening). I was seated
near a gentlemen who was having quite a reaction to every scene, and in
one scene (not a good one for the acting - but I will get there in a
minute) he literally started waving his arms and shaking his head. I
look over and the man was tearing up and I though he was nearly about
to breakdown in full tears. See...

In the plot of Eagle Eye,there are elements taken from the books
written by William Gibson,the video game Portal and movies like Enemy
of the State,I Robot and a long etcetera.But,in spite of that,I had a
very good time watching this movie.There's no doubt it's unoriginal but
the movie has an enormous energy that takes possession of the
spectator,so the final experience...

Like last year's School for Scoundrels, Woodcock is yet another movie
in which Billy Bob Thornton plays a violent dick (no pun intended) and
fails to be anywhere near as funny as he should be, thanks to a sloppy,
almost laugh-less script. To make matters worse, he's not the only
comedian whose considerable talents are wasted on this predictable
mess; Ethan Suplee and Se...

I've seen countless teeny bopper comedies the past couple of years, and
I can honestly say, this wasn't one of them.This was a good, straight forward comedy, with some hilarious moments
and a lovable character. The story was also interesting, even though it
was very predictable from the beginning (I don't know many people who
watch comedies for a complex, deep, mysterio...

This is a wonderful movie. Simple and elegantly made. There are many
layers to this movie that haven't been written about on this site. More
like frustration and negativity seem to fuel these message boards.
Cynicism is alive and well. The knit-pickers can make a nice lint
blindfold if they choose not to see this movie for what it is:
entertainment. Like Spielberg, Capra an...

I had heard this movie described as a black comedy by some. And when
one thinks of Harold Ramis, they think of his ingenious work as a
director of comedies. But this is a different Harold Ramis. What he has
fashioned is "film noir" all the way.John Cusack works perfectly with the material, not so much in a
Humphrey Bogart kind of way as in a Fred MacMurray sort of way. He's

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

I've rarely been as surprised by the reviews I've read here - or
disagreed with them more - than I was for this film. Most of the ones
here are negative and call this film boring, poorly done and lacking in
character development.I am very easily bored. At just over 2 hours, I found this film
captivating. Poorly done? John Lee Hancock's film is one of the most
effectively produc...

This movie is not what you might expect. It is not your typical sports
movie, where a disparate team comes together to triumph over adversity
as the music swells with a dumb sense of pride. This is a movie about
people, kind of like Seabiscuit that way, except less happy and with no
horses.This movie is about Odessa, a medium-sized town in Texas with no
economy and nothing to d...

Greetings again from the darkness. Simple story made interesting by the
characters and environment. Billy Bob Thornton is our unconventional lead
character. Very understated performance accurately captures the emotions of
this repulsed, repentant killer. Sparkling Kirsten Dunst is unusually
gritty in her sad portrayal of the pop star daughter putting up a false
front. Morga...

in the shapely form of Marilyn Rexroth (Catherine Zeta Jones) who wants
to marry (or preferably divorce) her way to riches. With Clooney hired
to represent her soon to be ex husband, he inevitably falls for the
gold diggers charms.Directe...

I think this movie was great. It has hilarious humour and its almost an
unique growth story of a man that has grown tired of his miserable life
and finds something worth fighting for.The thing that bothers me is that some people criticize the film cause
it has too bad language. In my opinion the used language is important
part of the film. I wouldn't find the characters very "authe...

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...

I found this film on satellite one night, hadn't heard of it so sat
down to watch - and spent the next 90 mins laughing!! Great lines
delivered deadpan by a great cast, never thought I'd hear such witty
banter (definitely very crude at times!!) said by such a cast. I
especially enjoyed the lines from Patrick Swayze, I haven't seen him in
anything in years since the 'Roadhouse' ...

Independent filmmaking is alive and well and evident in Monster's Ball.
This film had a minuscule $4 million budget, a terrific script and a
director not afraid to take some risks. Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry
practically donated their time they were paid so little. The result is a
powerful and disturbing film that walked off with a boatload of awards, not

Billy Bob Thornton has the perfect face for film noir. His craggy, drawn
features lead up to sunken but large and staring eyes, and cheeks that
look
to be made out of plaster. Particularly when shot in black and white, his
face becomes a landscape of shifting shadows, while he doesn't move a
muscle. He is able to give the impression of a man at war with himself

This could've been just another "Bonnie and Clyde"-style crime caper, but
it's more than that. "Bandits" starts out as a slick action-comedy and
evolves into a sweet romantic comedy. When I found out Barry Levinson was
the director, I assumed the film would be at least halfway decent. Levinson
has a keen eye for character development, and that's one of the things that

Pushing Tin is somewhat of an odd movie. It's not really funny enough to be
considered a comedy, and it's not really compelling/dramatic enough to be
considered a good drama. It attempts to pull off both at once, but never
really succeeds.The pacing seems a little "off". You always expect the movie to pick-up at
some point but it never really does. It does manage to move along ...

Homegrown is a very nice and inspirational film about three

their

frequently high trio have to try and improvise to get paid.Homegrown is also a strongly feminist movie, in the best sense

involving, intricate plot, and some of the finest direction in recent
times from the sporadic (yet always reliable) Mike Nichols. John

This movie is my ultimate guilty pleasure. It's inane, manipulative,
has hyperactive cutting, a ton of glaring inaccuracies (pointless to
even discuss or debate), and probably 29 other glaring faults. And why
in every dramatic slow-mo emo shot are there 3 helicopters flying in
unison overhead? What's the point of having 3 helicopters flying really
close together? Who ca...

This is one of my favorite Oliver Stone films. It has everything
(cheating incestuous sex, chopping off digits, a dumb hick mechanic, a
blind native American who wants Dr. Pepper all the time, etc etc etc)
that a well-rounded movie needs, plus it was completely done in a comic
fashion. It is closest to Stone's other film "Natural Born Killers" by
way of stylish camera shots and...

As someone who loves good filmmaking, I rate this film among the best I've
ever seen in all areas of the craft. Some of the criticisms of this film
are
hard to fathom.The screenplay has the tight conciseness of a well-honed play (which this
essentially was derived from) and doesn't fail to prick at the emotions
and
the intellect of the viewer. The photography, the casting a...
