Definitely a film for kids as I found out, the cinema was packed with
them! One kid kept on pointing out the obvious loudly behind me every
now and then whilst another behind my mum was loudly asking questions.
I suppose I should've expected it but it was still extremely irritatingThe plot: brilliant, I have no problems with this! It follows the
original Shakespeare play so ve...

This rather uninvolving time-slip film was made by Julian Fellowes to
use sets and cast members left over from his popular period TV drama,
DOWNTON ABBEY. It's ostensibly an adaptation of a '50s children's book
called The Children of Green Knowe, about a boy living during the
Second World War who finds a way to travel back into the lives of those
in Regency Engla...

I thought it was a great story and very well cast. I didn't enter the
theatre with expectations of learning the truth about Jane Austen's
world, who was in it and what made her tick. I understood the movie was
loosely based on the life of Jane Austen. The writers have simply
devised a beautiful and clever story from only a small shred of
evidence that there was a true l...

This great black comedy in the British tradition appeals to all
generations. I went with my mother, wife and son and we all enjoyed it
very much.My 20-year-old son, who was not accustomed to this type of dark humour,
was quite startled at how murder was portrayed in an off-hand, humorous
way. I felt it was a revival of a genre going back to the "Wrong Box"
[1966] and before. Th...

After all the hype and comparisons to 'Steel Magnolias', 'Divine Secrets of
the Ya-Ya Sisterhood', sadly, did not do much box office, which was a shame,
as it is a more intimate, realistic vision of women and life-long
friendships than the glossier 'Magnolias'.Four girl friends in Louisiana create a secret sisterhood in 1937, swearing
eternal devotion to each other, and they remain...

Robert Altman's long, fragmented and very hit-or-miss career reaches
another
of his periodic highs with this clever and beautifully realised
dissection
of the English class system and skit on the classic Agatha Christie
whonunnit.Altman's preferences for kaleidoscopic social observation has sometimes
failed in the past due to the weight of its own ambition: multi-plotted

I enjoyed this movie immensely. But, like "The Phantom Menace," I've had a
very hard time viewing it objectively. There was so much anticipation
leading up to its release, I simply enjoyed the experience of being there.
Having read all four books in the series a few times each, I am overly
familiar with the events in the story. As I watched the movie, my
continuing

I just love to read some of the negative comments on a film like this. This
is a movie about a Las Vegas headliner who is called to help deal with
unruly kids at a Catholic school. You were expecting maybe Schindler's List?
When did it become such a crime just to enjoy a delightful movie packed
with talent all geared toward entertainment?And what talent. Whoopi Goldberg, Lauryn ...

This movie is an utter delight to watch. I have probably seen it a dozen
times, and I never get tired of it. Everything about it is perfect: it's
well-directed, well-acted, beautifully filmed, has great music, and the
script and story are wonderful.Agneiszka Holland does an outstanding job directing this film. Each
character is separate and unique; each one has little personality q...

Sister Act is definitely one of a kind. It's such a funny, heart-warming
film with a good mix of action and comedy and some excellent music as well.
I don't normally enjoy films that are driven by just one Hollywood star at
the helm, but I have a weakness for Whoopi Goldberg and here she is simply
divine as Deloris Van Cartier, a club singer thrown into a convent
undercover to ...

I, personally, cannot understand why so many people have left negative
comments about this film. When it was released, many of us were young
children and we all enjoyed it, but now that we are older, too many
people are pointing out the bad jokes and mistakes and clich...

In a time when people consider the likes of Vin Diesel, Jack Black, and
various three name actors as underated actors, people should realize what a
brilliant talent Sir Peter Ustinov is. Ustinov, a two-time Academy Award
winner, has done it all, whether it would be Kubrick films, children's
programs, teleplays, feature films: you name it, he's done it. He also plays
