Based on a review from our beloved IMDb, I chose to watch this over
several other movies. I have to say that I am fed up to the back teeth
of this formulaic, poorly executed type of movie that Hollywood throws
out week in week out.Christoph Waltz was about the best part of this movie. He played the
villain really well, with just the right amount of humour, confusion
and villain...

mission is to infiltrate a company that each other work in, and expose

they recently thought. I'...

First, I want to say that some time ago I learned to distrust critics
and instead read the reviews here on IMDb. I've never been misled, even
when an equal number of viewers liked and disliked the same movie
because that let me know there was a matter of taste in play, and
that's fine. Sometimes a movie pleases everyone, but that's so rare I
cant really think of one...

I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Guy Ritchie's mockney
gangster films. I don't know what it is. I know that they're not very
profound and have nothing to say, I know that they're a pure fantasy
vision of British crime and I know that if you've seen Lock Stock,
you've pretty much seen them all. And yet, as Ritchie returns for a
third iteration ...

I just saw this at Sundance and it's probably the best Sundance I've
ever seen. The Director Justin Theroux was at the showing and answered
some questions and he said some interesting things. First the whole
movie was done on a 1M dollar budget and they shot it in 23 days. As for the movie, it was a very different movie from the music to the
cinematography with a fresh tast...

Genres: Crime    Drama    Mystery    Thriller   

Starring: Tom Wilkinson, Michael O'Keefe, Sydney Pollack, Danielle Skraastad, Tilda Swinton, ...

This is a well-made suspense film. It builds slowly, it features the
key characters in sometimes agonising close-up, it weaves an intricate
plot (a bit too intricate, in hindsight -- I'm still not sure why some
events were included), and George Clooney is masterful as the morally
conflicted character who does his best to hold his collapsing life
together, while slowly reali...

The Night of the White Pants is a funny, honest, yet upbeat film about
a dysfunctional Texas family and the night from hell. Auteur Amy
Talkington is on top of her game here: the one liners are priceless,
and she obviously knows her way around Texas, the punk rock scene, and
the occasional fancy hotel. The film has the frenetic energy of the
perfect night out, the authentic rin...

Genres: Comedy    Drama    Romance   

Starring: Zach Braff, Jacinda Barrett, Casey Affleck, Rachel Bilson, Michael Weston, ...

Don't necessarily expect to see the next step in Andrew Largeman's
life. While the trailer makes you think "Hey, it's Zach Braff playing
another guy who is confused about his life, and not sure where to go
from here", The Last Kiss does offer a little more. For one its much
more mature, and the characters are all flawed (and not in cute

Wonderful, wonderful movie. A lesson in film-making. I know a lot of
people won't be able to see it for what it is because of the
supernatural/horror elements (which are usually a turn-off for film
snobs), but the movie is just extremely well-made.Consider the fact that Linney's character's true conflict is not
winning the trial, but a satisfyingly complex internal struggle which I...

I had fearful reservations about this one. I loved Tim Burton's Batman
- 12 years old when it came out I was the perfect age for it and I also
enjoyed Batman Returns. The franchise went so wrong under Joel
Schumacher that I wasn't sure I wanted it resurrected. Not least
because Batman was one of the few comics I read and enjoyed as a kid
and was always my favourite superhero. I...

Filmed back in 2004, but left on the shelf for 3 years, 'Ripley Under
Ground' aka 'White On White' has been released on DVD in Europe.Barry Pepper plays Ripley as something of a low-key rock-star - long
hair, a close shave and charisma to burn – and the tone of the thing is
far lighter than any of the previous incarnations - 'Purple Noon' ,'The

Following scriptwriter Julian Fellowes's Academy Award for Gosford Park

he was able to initiate the third film version of Piccadilly Jim. In
itself, this was no small achievement, for the last P.G. Wodehouse
movie on the English big screen had been The Girl on the Boat forty
years before.The Piccadilly Jim t...

'Without beauty, there's nothing. Who could love that?' (Ned Kynaston,
Stage Beauty)Don't expect an elegant historical romp from Stage Beauty; it's much
more than that. Director Richard Eyre (Iris) and screenwriter Jeffrey

romantic journey of gender-bending self-realisation set in the bawdy
world of the Briti...

Hi everyone... This is my first ever review, so I'll see how it goes...
I just saw this a few hours ago here at the Rio Film Festival and I
have to say, it was one of the most charming films I've seen this year.
Those who know Oscar Wilde's work should know that it is mostly based
on dialog, and this is no different.. but most of it is so hilarious
that even people who can't st...

Johannes Vermeer was a silent man. Being equipped with immense talent,
brush and palette, there really was no need for words. Such philosophy
is greatly dwelt upon in Peter Webber's adaptation of Tracy Chevalier's
novel. The film is breathtaking alone in the fact that the production team,
led by cinematographer Eduardo Serra, production designer Ben Van Os,
and art director Chr...

I have just seen this movie with my grandson and it was quite enjoyable
for both of us. The plot was interesting enough to hold the attention
of us both and yet he was able to understand it completely. The young
star Matthew Beard is a wonderful and talented actor whose innocence
transcended onto the screen with ease. I look forward to seeing him in
future endeavors. This movie...

This is an inventive and artful production of Oscar Wilde's play, but I can
confidently say that were Oscar Wilde alive today, he would be appalled at
the misuse to which his play has been put. Indeed I think I feel the ground
rumbling as he rolls over in his grave, and yes he is actually spinning in
anguish.Oliver Parker, who directed and wrote the screen adaptation, simply

Genres: Adventure    Comedy    Fantasy   

Starring: Martin Lawrence, Marsha Thomason, Tom Wilkinson, Vincent Regan, Daryl Mitchell, ...

I cannot stress the fact that this film has been overplayed and
recycled through Hollywood more times that I can count. While I have
read some reviews that claim that this is one of Lawrence's more
creative roles yet, I can only laugh and gag simultaneously at these
words. Lawrence was a major contributor to the downfall of this film.
He provided no character analysis, no devel...

The Patriot is technically a good movie. Nicely made with good
characters,
good acting, a strong storyline and fabulous cinematography.But, to say this movie distorts history would be an understatement. And
that is extremely sad in a movie that sells itself as an accurate
portrayal
of events during the revolution. The Patriot, unfortunately, crosses the
line and try's to...

Genres: Comedy    Crime

This is basically a "laugh at the losers" episode flick in the vein of
"Short Cuts", without the pretension and with a healthy dose of Quentin
Tarantino thrown in for good measure (sans the nastiness and macho
violence.) Chain of Fools boasts the essential (for this type of movie)
array of crooks and oddballs; from Jeff Goldblum's psychopathic rent-a-thief
character to Elijah W...

Genres: Crime    Thriller   

Starring: Charlie Creed-Miles, Sean Bean, Gareth Milne, Alex Kingston, Amelia Lowdell, ...

For those who remember the actual triple murder in Essex which inspired
the film, this carries an added edge of realism. The setting - the
mock-tudor nouveau riche houses of the gangsters, the Southend
seafront, the freezing marshes where Billy runs for his life, are as
evocative, as the true-to-life performances of Sean Bean, Alex Kingston
and Tom Wilkinson. It is refreshing t...

I went to see this movie not knowing what to expect. On the one hand, I
was excited, because you see, I am an English major and here was this movie
based on the life of William Shakespeare. In the realm of Shakespeare
rip-offs (i.e., "Romeo & Juliet," "Macbeth," etc..)"Shakespeare in Love"
clearly stood out. This is the first film I've seen based on the author,

I recall a British TV series some years back entitled "J'Accuse" the purpose
of which was to demolish certain popular sacred cows. They were programmes
designed to delight of infuriate according to the predilections of the

to "Citizen Kane" but when it came to Laurence Olivier and Agatha Christie,
