So when I first saw the trailer for Obsessed, I have to admit I was
curious to see this, even though the "fatal attraction" story has been
used five million times before, it's always interesting to see what the
new fresh writer is going to do with it. Obsessed could have been so
much more and offered a lot to the table but instead turned out to be a
Lifetime movie of the w...

This is a great idea. A technical genius who is somehow able to commit
revenge murders from his jail cell. He doesn't hide the fact he's a
killer; in fact he announces each murder just before it happens.Technically everything was possible and the method very cleverly hidden
so I was kept in suspense until the last 20 minutes when the cat was
let out of the bag too early. ...

As the Bourne series raises the bar for action films, and audiences
balk at two-plus hour runtimes, the filmmakers of Vantage Point seem
like they are trying to bring a fresh, new, unconventional take on the
action/thriller genre. Though it may annoy some people, I felt the new
take turns Vantage Point into a taut terrorist thriller.The new take or approach is jumping right into th...

This is a very good movie, but not the classic it wants to be. It's
funny and tragic, although not too informative if you've read a
newspaper with any regularity over the last eight years. In short,
there are no surprises.Josh Brolin gives an excellent performance as W., and the supporting
cast is generally superb, although Jeffrey Wright, Richard Dreyfuss,

I had a conversation with a friend earlier this week, regarding the
lack of effort being put into films these days. In the 21st century,
there are very few films worth seeing, in comparison to the earlier
80's, and 90's. Back then, there weren't 100's of movies being churned
out a week, with only 1 or 2 being even half decent. This is the reason
that this movie ...

The movie WAS NOT a series of disjointed vignettes, NOR was it lacking
plausibility, as many critics have complained. Perhaps living on one of
the coasts makes you too cynical and uptight to enjoy a movie that is
based on the relationships and culture of the ordinary person. This
movie was like reading a good book. If you've ever had a deep thought
about life, or questioned the...

One of the most beautifully crafted movies of the past 10 years. Why
this movie is going by with very little publicity is beyond me. It has
incredible screenplay, incredible directing (Michael Mann puts his
trademark two cents in with the camera work and gritty feeling left
from the lighting) and above all, great acting. Foxx and Cruise work
together in a way unrivaled since......

Well acted yet flimsy adaptation of the John Grisham novel lacks a well
rounded script to carry itself but has an amazing cast that lifts this
mediocre film past its problems and into respectability. The script has
way too many loop holes in logic to even take what you are seeing
seriously and the directing lacks a sharp narrative to get across what
it's trying to say. The acti...

That a film sequel will invariably fail to meet the standards of its
predecessor is nearly axiomatic. For every brilliant sequel like
'Aliens' or 'Godfather: Part II', there are dozens of painfully lame
successors. This is hardly a surprise, yet it is our own unerring
tendency to flock, lemming-like, to sequels that insures their
continued existence. Sequels make money, and tha...

characters lay.For example, given the material, and in spite of a peculiar attem...

No contest, I will say this marks the best of the Farrelly Brothers. Not
because this film is laugh-out-loud funny--it's funny, but not
hilarious--but because it has a great heart and delivers a beautiful

shallow guy gets virtually hypnotized into thinking all the unattractive

completely overlooked. Even as a complete golf addict, I can look
beyond the obvious inspirational story and see than the focus is on
Junah's battle with faith, and why does nobody mention that Bagger
Vance is a guardian angel? I'm not a...
