It's a shame that most people probably will skip this film - because
it's a good holiday film with a good message behind it. While you have
films like Four Christmases out that are the same romcom you've seen 38
times in holiday format, Nothing Like The Holidays brings the audience
together as one for a good family experience.NLTH boasts a great ensemble cast that reall...

Just saw Goal 2 earlier today, opening day across the UK. I must say
that it was a solid sequel to the first, which I enjoyed thoroughly.
Anyone who liked the first Goal movie should enjoy this. It continues
the story of Santiago who gets transferred to mega-team Real Madrid in
the opening sequences and follows his new life in Spain. Massive
paychecks and beautiful women begin ...

This was one of our choices to see at Sundance this year, as it sounded
like a charming story. It was a disappointment to us. The story moved
quite slowly and meandered into strange dream sequences that were not
far enough removed from the main character's real life to differentiate
them from it. The main character was never quite sympathetic enough for
me to care what happ...

I really enjoyed this movie. The film has this touching relationship
between Heather Graham's character and the young man obsessed with
capturing her in photos. At first, I was afraid it was borderline
stalking, and I kept on waiting for something bad to happen to the
young man. Gradually, the boy's photos reveals something deep and
personal about Heather Graham's c...

If you are under 13 or above 13 and pretty intoxicated, you'll enjoy
D-war. If you are a seriously dedicated fan of all kinds of brainless
action films, you'll enjoy D-war. Otherwise, don't bother! I saw the
movie today with my nephews and 3 of their friends. They really loved
it and that made me feel good. After the movie was over, all the
kids(my nephews and their...

I had the opportunity to see this film at Cannes and then again at it's
'real' debut at the LA Film Festival. What a difference! Apparently the
filmmakers were anxious to get to Cannes and had not finished the
editing. Although I liked it before-- this version really hits the spot
without the confusing extras that were still at Cannes. I'm glad I gave
it a second chance and in ...

I normally don't write reviews but after reading some of the negative
things about HOW THE GARCIA GIRLS SPENT THEIR SUMMER I felt inclined to
say something. I've seen this film twice now. Once at Sundance and then
more recently at the Latino Internation Film Festival. Both times I
can't help but get caught up in the sheer scope of the film. Normally
scope is applied to a movie ...

takes you nowhere! There were enough plot elements to keep me watching,
but nothing happens in this movie. Keach and Pena have cameos and
that's it. Coulda used anybody for either role and it would not have
detracted from this film so don't watch this movie to see either one of
these two show their considerable talents.The 'bad guy' is not even really bad. I mean there's a jilted l...

I first saw Transamerica as the closing film for the Frameline film
festival in San Francisco where it won the "The Frameline Audience
Award for Best Feature". The film was obviously a labor of love. Duncan
Tucker wrote, directed and wisely cast Felicity Huffman as Bree (before
she had been cast as a "desperate housewife"). Huffman's husband
William Macy was executive produ...

This movie has gotten a bad rap mostly from folks who just didn't get it. Of
all the movies based on Philip K Dick stories, this one actually is most
true to the plot line. And as a fan of Philip K Dick I give this movie a
lot of credit for that. He visualizes a dark, grim future world at war with
aliens and the fear and confusion that comes from the impostor accusations.

It seems that Dee Snyder ran out of ideas halfway through the script. The
second half of the movie is basically just a rehash of the first, which
makes the film very boring. To sum up: Cop's daughter is suckered into
party via chatroom where she is sexually molested/tortured by psychopath
(played by Snider). Cop rescues her, psychopath is put in therapy/jail.
Psychopath is ...

I just bought this movie on DVD and watched it for the first time in a
couple of years, and once again it amazed me. While most scripts stumble
recklessly from one hackneyed plot device to another, "Lone Star" flows like
a steady, winding river, never letting the viewer see too far downstream.
The spine of the film is Sherrif Sam Deed's investigation into a
thirty-year-old murd...

First of all, I have to say what I liked original Free Willy movie. In
fact, I fall in love with it. I suppose it is one of the best family
movie and best animal movie so far. For some reasons Simon Wincer, who
directed the first movie didn't return for making this sequel, though
we can see again all major characters from Free Willy. Our main hero,
Jesse is now fourteen years o...

This is a movie about guns, two-handed combat positions, reloading,

The film begins with Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) and his platoon in
Vietnam. When they're suddenly attacked, it's chaos, and the platoon
appear to be the victims of some kind of chemical warfare. Jacob is
stabbed in the stomach with a bayonet. Suddenly, without explanation,
we see Jacob back in New York City. He's returned home from the war and
he's trying to get his life back o...

This film does, as suggested, bear semlence to Cocoon, however it contains
a
far richer storyline and a generally superior level of acting. This film
while not specifically being a comedy tells a relativly amusing story of a
group of residents of an old building, targeted for demolition, visited by
alien 'devices' (the nature of which remain undisclosed throughout), who

I may not know what's funny, but I know what I like. I thought this movie
was absolutely hilarious. I don't know, or care if it is supposed to be a
satire or not. Between the son and the dog and the neighbor and the
anorexic
daughter and the maid, not to mention the three main characters, there are
many funny moments. Nick Nolte, insinuating himself on this dysfunctional
