Oh dear!! Muddled, directionless script and plot line is not saved by a
good performance from Bettany.This is essentialy a zombie movie with a spin and a poor one at that.
Angels behaiving like demons (who are after all, fallen angels
themselves), a God who has questionable (and fickle) faith and seems to
lack the ability to overcome 6 people armed with automatic weapons. The

I remember when I was younger I enjoyed the original Fame movie.
Although I currently can't remember anything about the movie at all,
save for the theme song. Tonight I got the chance to see the sneak peek
of the 2009 version. Overall, I wasn't impressed. What was wrong with
the movie? 1.) The plot…or lack thereof. There were so many "main"
characters, that the s...

The Express was one of the best sports movies I have seen. It tells the
story of Ernie Davis, who was the first African American to win the
Heisman Trophy and his relationship with his coach, Ben Schwarzwalder.It is set in the late 50's where there was still a great deal of
prejudice against African Americans, even in the northern states where
segregation was not overt. Ernie&#...

I was honored to have the opportunity to catch a screening of American
Violet's Texas premiere at the Paramount Theatre during Austin's SXSW
Film Festival. The film tells the important story of Dee Roberts drug
arrest in Melody, Texas in 2000. The story of the abuse of power by the
criminal justice system is an important one that most Americans are not
terribly familiar...

I was able to see this wonderful little film at a special screening
prior to its release in New York. I was charmed from beginning to end
by the characters, situations, and John Sayles' great ear for dialog.
It is 1950 in a small town in the South. Segregation is still the norm
except for the recently reopened Army base nearby, which has integrated
its barracks in response ...

Fine acting with an interesting storyline, this film had me guessing
until the real culprit who murdered Trey's daughter is revealed towards
the end.What makes the film hold your interest is finding out about Trey's
difficult upbringing and if that sheds any light on who killed his
daughter.I liked how heavy handed and suspicious the FBI were initially with
Trey, and ...

"The only thing that matters is the ending. It's the most important
part of the story. And this one, is very good." This line, from the
short story by Stephen King, and repeated with such muted insanity by
Johnny Depp, is Secret Window in a nutshell.A lot of people didn't enjoy this movie, because the ending is clich...

I'm a physician who has been involved with children with congenital

regardless of who you are. Drs. Blalock & Taussig, whose ingenious
procedure is used to convey the aspects of this film (Blalock-Taussig
Shunt), were two of my 'heros.' The amazing genius and operative

Though ostensibly based on a true story, 'Against the Ropes' is pure
movie hokum from start to finish. Jackie Kallen made a name for herself as one of the few successful
female managers in the history of professional boxing. In the movie's
prologue, we meet Jackie as a young girl so obsessed with the sport
that she spends her off hours at the gym helping her dad train her

Stars operating at the level of Halle Berry and Penelope Cruz are bound
to disappoint critics along the way, especially when the critics are
just waiting for some sign of weakness upon which to feed. While there
is nothing wrong with any of the acting in this film - these are not
the kinds of roles Oscar winners and nominees are expected to indulge
in. What's more, Berry an...

It's hard to believe a film this sunny came from Robert Altman, and is also
this good, but there you go. While I love some of his films, like M*A*S*H,
MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER, NASHVILLE, THE PLAYER, and SHORT CUTS, there are
times when I feel he has a fundamental contempt for his subject matter, like
in THE LONG GOODBYE and POPEYE, and for his characters. But while this

True, there are some goofs, for the one who wants to find them. They're
not important, though.The primary feature of this film is watching veteran expert actors do
their craft. Kristin Scott Thomas is beautiful and plays well the part
of a strong woman, but one who has been hurt. Same for Harrison Ford,
who, for the ladies, is just as beau as Kristin is belle for us guys.Their hurt...

When this movie came out, the usual pooh-poohers whined and complained

I wanted to smack them all upside the head for stating the obvious. Duh!

directly in the tension and pressure of the deadlines. Depp is forced to
kill a senator or his daughter will be killed by Walken and Maffia. He is
given a gun and a time limit to carry it out.As the basis for a thriller it doesn't quite work - the real time concept
falls apart a few times, but with this much...

This overlooked Eddie Murphy from 1992 gem is much better than most
critics would have you believe. Murphy plays a charming con man who
swindles his way into Congress through voter inattention -- they think
he's the incumbent, who is actually deceased. What starts as a game to
merely soak the job for all it's worth turns into an unlikely effort to
make a real difference...

One would love to have heard the story planning sessions for this
abysmal third film that pretty much put the final nail in the series
coffin before a lackluster attempt to revive it with another ill-fated
fourth film. Ridley Scott's original was a simple And Then There Were

jaw-dropping class and style that mad...

brilliantly observed piece of work, with actors on top of their game,
especially Ed Harris and the peerless Robert DeNiro(please don't
