A decent undertaking of a much-beloved book. It takes some major
liberties with the story, but retains many of the locations,
challenges, and concepts from the book.I was about 10 minutes into the film when I had to drop all my thoughts
about how the movie was differing from the book. After that I enjoyed
the film more and was able to appreciate what they did with the
conversio...

I took my daughter 5 and son 8 to see Aquamarine yesterday after
school. I didn't go in expecting to see an Oscar worthy movie as many
who rated this movie must have. Both of my kids really enjoyed the
movie and I did as well. I thought the plot was good and the acting was
pretty good as well. I liked the magical feel that this movie had and
at least it lets kids use their imag...

When I asked the reviewer sitting next to me to sum up Revenge of the
Sith, he simply said "great!" That seemed to basically be the consensus
of virtually everyone in attendance at an advance press screening of
the final chapter in the Star Wars saga.There was an exuberant mood leaving the theater, as if everyone was in
collective agreement that Lucas had finally done it. That he h...

Man, this movie was worse than the reviews (and the reviews were really
bad). I thought that the first was bad enough, but when I saw this I
was shocked. I can't even believe that someone could make a movie this
bad, I mean I could probably make a better movie with a camera about
shoelaces. This movie was a big waste of time and I sooooooo regret
watching it. If only I coul...

As a fan of the novels and the movie Interview with a Vampire, I spent
a good half hour yelling at the screen before realizing the following:1. These are not Anne Rice's vampires. Every character is different,
despite their names (The only one to nail a character was Vincent
Perez, the highlight of the movie as Marius. Good job.) 2. The plot of the movie is not based on the books. It a...

John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) wakes up in an eerie hotel, naked and in the
bathtub, with no memories and blood on his forehead. (I couldn't imagine a
more strange and frightening experience.) The ring of the hotel phone
breaks
the silence-- a strange man on the other end tells him he must leave
because
there are people looking for him. Many events such as this one unfold in

Watching this made-for-cable version of one the great novels is worth your
time, especially if you haven't already read the book. There's nothing too
spectacular about it, and any sense of what the day-to-day life of the
crew
of an 18th century whaling is lost, but it's a well-made, straight-foward
drama of one of the greatest stories ever told. Can anyone ever lose

This movie was directed and written by Steve Oedekerk. Tom Shadyac is
not attached to this movie for some reason. But, Steve Oedekerk did a
pretty good Job. The movie begins with a spoof from "Cliffhanger" where
Ace fails to save a Raccoon. Ace retires from being a "Pet Detective"
until Fulton Greenwall (Ian McNeice) offers him a large amount of money
to find a missing sacred B...

Australia seems to have an incredible knack for turning out beautiful films
about real life situations fraught with meaning and mystery. This one is no
exception. Like the Peter Weir classic _Picnic at Hanging Rock_, the
landscape seems to come alive on the screen, and the sense of Australia's
isolation does as well.What I especially liked is that many of us (myself included) can...

When I first saw Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, I felt disappointed. It was
a
letdown from its amazing predecessor. I knew its reputation as an
unworthy
sequel, but I still realized there was something good about it, something
I
had never heard from other people's points of view.It wasn't until some time later when I watched the series a second time
that
I noticed wh...
