Yet another Hollywood portrayal of soldiers returning from war as a
bunch of drunken psychotic screw ups. This liberal waste of film even
includes references to Vietnam just to ram the point home.There isn't really a storyline in the film as it isn't necessary to
make it's point. There is never any real dramatic basis for the
problems with the character for whic...

The Horsemen touts itself as another serial killer cat and mouse and
admirably attempts to mix in several sub-genres including torture,
exotic piercing, plot twists, and even a silence of the lambs (more
Primal Fear in execution) style prison exchange. What transpires is
unfortunately a lot of set pieces that don't add a lot to the whole.
Dennis Quaid has always been fun t...

Due to Michael Mann's track record it was hard to go into this movie
without very high expectations. After all, we are talking about the
creator of arguably the greatest crime drama/thriller ever made with
"Heat", as well as the highly entertaining "Collateral". But "Miami
Vice" fails to live up to Mann's past success in the crime genre.The plot is completely ordinary and d...

If you had ever told me that I would end up really liking a movie
starring Marky Mark from the Funky Bunch and the lead singer of Outkast
(the perpetrators of one of the most annoying songs in recent history -
Hey Ya) then I would've laughed right in your face. Come on, a movie
with three rappers (Tyrese throws down the rhymes also, yo!)? There's
no way I would've expected that...

It's funny how Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, two of Hollywood's most
powerful men, who could literally do any movie they want, end up making
something like The Terminal. Instead of reaching for new heights of
film-making like including the latest in special effects, or new
original ways of storytelling and editing, Spielberg goes back to a
simpler form. That in itself is surp...

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, if you went to Ali to see an boxing movie you might have been
disappointed, but if you went to see a great film you hit the mark. The
hype was due. A conglomerate of great acting, great direction, and a
great
story has made Ali a landmark film. This film is socially important
because
it raises up one of the most notable and underappreciated figures of the
twent...

Sure,Eddie Murphy has gotten credit over the years for being the comic
genius that he is,but he does not always get proper credit for his
movie work.1999's Life is a good example of Murphy getting
overlooked.He does great work here,along with Martin Lawrence(whom I am
not a huge fan of, but I must give him due credit here)as two men
wrongly sentenced to life imprisonment.This i...
