Hachi is a movie based on the true story about a dog in Japan, Hachiko,
who would wait at the train station every day for his owner to arrive
even after the owner passed away.I have never seen the original Japanese version of the movie but know
the story well as I have been told by many people here in Japan. There
is a statue of Hachiko that stands outside of Shibuya Station in Tok...

I loved the great relationships in this buddy movie for gals, and wish
I could see more movies about real people in dramatic/comedy- so
interesting and a great discussion starter too about life, death and
what to do with the remains. All the stars give great performances,
Jessica Lange is stunning and sweet and really lovely - she makes her
character someone you wish you knew! ...

I don't hand out ten star ratings easily. A movie really has to impress
me, and The Bourne Ultimatum has gone far beyond that. Furthermore,
this trilogy has come together so nicely, that I believe it to be one
of the greatest motion picture trilogies of our time. Though all three
films could not be any more different from the Ludlum novels, they
still stand as a powerful la...

Among the many pleasures that "The Upside of Anger" offers, Joan Allen
and Kevin Costner's performances are very much at the center of it. We
are used by now at Joan Allen's marvelous gallery of characters. Here,
she reaches very high, creating a character that moves through highs
and lows with overwhelming power. It is a performance so entertaining,
apart from everything else,...

In all honesty, my Dad paid me to go see the Notebook with my friends
because he kept saying how magnificent it was. i went because it was
free, and with no expectations. However, the Notebook drew me into the
story from the beginning right up until the credits- and then kept me
crying for quite some time after it had ended. I, along with almost
every other person i have discus...

I was torn while watching Bourne Supremacy. I'll just go ahead and say
this before I mislead. I loved this movie! Unfortunately one key aspect
just about dragged this film under the water. The camera was far too
unstable. It was obviously done intentionally by design choice, but it
was excessively overdone. Through action scenes that had you at the
edge of your seat, you'd just...

This is one of those films you can really lose yourself in. A woman is
reminiscing about a time in the early seventies when she was 12 years old
and her father was struck down with a bad dose of depression. First thing
you notice is the amazing colours of New Mexico, the photography is
stunning. Then there's the acting by Joan Allen, Sam Elliott and
especially

Over the past two nights, I was carried away to Avalon and Camelot. Even
though I've seen virtually every version of the Arthurian legends ever
filmed, and was a bit hesitant about seeing yet another, this was a winner!
Being told through the eyes of the women involved, who are generally reduced
to Guinevere, Morgana (aka Morgaine), and the Lady of the Lake's arm in most
tell...

THE CONTENDER / (2000) **** (out of four) After our recent presidential conflicts, Rod Lurie's political drama, "The
Contender" is of the most timely and uncommonly absorbing movies this year,
even though we may be sick and tired of politics. The film examines
political figures and their stand of such controversial issues like
abortion, infidelities, and even Clinton's impeachment...

I knew what this film would be about before I rented it, but I'm stunned
that it would be THIS good. Nothing against "Saving Private Ryan" or
"Shakespeare in Love", but this film should have won Best Picture in 1998
and it was a shame that it wasn't nominated. It's an even bigger injustice
that it did not get a nomination for best screenplay or
cinematography.In the hands of an...

I went to see this film with one of my friends, in a cinema I had never been
to before. It was one of those rare and delightful experiences where you are
the only people in the theatre. No one around to distract you. No kids
munching on crisps, or couples quietly muttering sweet nothings, or idiots
trying to tell the characters what to do. It was great.The film was just brilliant...

...And I also happen to be a very critical person of most films. With
that being said, The Crucible completely blows me away with its
virtually flawless cinematic achievements!Daniel Day-Lewis is absolutely superb as John Proctor; there is no
other way to put it. He is simply perfect, from his bitter, withdrawn
opening few lines to when he is accused of witchcraft by his former

Everyone accuses Oliver Stone of being a conspiracy theorist, a
revisionist
historian, a muckraker, and a falsifier of history. Whether these things
are
true or not, he is a great director and his portrait of president Richard
Nixon is sensitive, fair, and human. Stone may be opposed to Nixon, but he
does not depict him as a monster. Stone and Hopkins give us Nixon, the man...

Boy, what a frustrating film to watch....even though it is very good
and has been a part of my collection for a number of years now. Still,
it's hard to see the good guy, the little guy, beaten up by the big
guys. Here's one story where Goliath beats David. Anyway, this was an interesting supposedly- true-life story of how
Preston Tucker got a raw deal form the Big Three ca...

I have a problem with a lot of people's review of "Manhunter". Every
single
bad review that criticizes Cox or Noonan invariably mentions the movie
"Red
Dragon" in the same breath. How about being a little objective?On its own as the original Hannibal Lecter movie, Manhunter is a good
movie.
Cox plays Lecter convincingly, and you can read from other reviewers who
prais...
