i just got back from a pre-screening of this in Dallas, and i must say
i really enjoyed it. it seems like the whole audience enjoyed it as
well, the theatre was often filled with laughter throughout this
wonderful film.i'm a fan of Sam Mendes' work, and his work excelled here in the realm
of comedy. John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph shared great chemistry as a
couple ex...

I attended an early screening with my 8 year old daughter; we're both
big fans of Sendak in general and this book in particular, and I quite
like Spike Jonze as well. But this did not prepare us for the moody,
almost downbeat atmosphere through most of the film, nor the sense of
immediacy and almost hyper-realism combined with astoundingly fanciful
imagery. It is such an o...

Let me say up front, I had low expectations going into the film.
Although I like animation a lot, I wasn't too impressed with previous
Dreamworks attempts. I tend to regard cutesy previews with suspicion,
and was mostly just going along to have a potentially positive
movie-going experience with my family. Things got a little worse when
we arrived at the theatre, and both th...

This is a nicely-done story with pretty music, lots of dancing, lots of
big sister/little sister interaction (almost all of it positive), and
lots of wishes granted. There are funny moments that older children and
adults will enjoy, such as when King Randolph exclaims, "They're just
SHOES! Aren't they?" And tender moments such as when Princess Genevieve
comforts her you...

Referring to the first movie, Kenai had lived as a bear for the rest of
his life to take care of Koda.Here comes the story about Kenai and Nita, they are bonded by an amulet
that Kenai gave Nita when they were kids. In order to break the spell,
Nita must search for Kenai and destroy the amulet. The story ended as
Nita and Kenai lived "happyly ever after", you do not even need to

I just saw this movie at the Seattle International Film Festival. I
didn't know what to expect, but I must say I found it quite enjoyable.
There was a lot of talk before the movie. People were saying that it
will be too scary for the little kids, but not adult enough to capture
older kids attention.I can see it being quite frightening at times for the little ones, but
of th...

Loved! Loved! Loved this Movie! One of the last movies I caught at the
Toronto Film Festival....and by far my FAVORITE!!!!! Penelope is an
original and uplifting story that reminds us of life's most fundamental
truth -- that our beliefs lock us into a particular reality. It is
packed full of excitement, surprises, laughs, heartfelt pangs and
soaring joy. Christina Ricci is ...

There is something both enchanting and disorienting about watching a
Christopher Guest film that features conventional camera angles and a
narrative structure. It is a brave, and ultimately, a rewarding choice
for a director who has built his impeccable reputation on the strength
of his mockumentaries.Like its predecessors Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and A Mighty
Wind, F...

This was a film with a somewhat interesting premise, a somewhat
interesting main character, and a somewhat interesting conclusion. This
was not a Pixar film: it wasn't designed to appeal to adults. Rather,
the writers focus on giving the kiddies a few laughs without leaving
the parents comatose with boredom.And when everything is taken into consideration, the writers succeed.

In the wake of Harry Potter the popular Lemony Snicket books have been
rushed into production and considering the less than promising prospect
of Brad Silberling directing and Jim Carrey starring, I didn't really
hold out much hope. It turns out that the film is surprisingly good and
apart from The Incredibles this was the only big budget Hollywood film
I truly enjoyed this yea...

Surviving ChristmasA ridiculous and perverse premise has somehow made its way onto cinema
screens this Christmas. Just like Christmas With The Kranks and The
Polar Express, Surviving Christmas winds towards a festive moral that
aims to fill the audience with yuletide cheer. The execution of said
moral in this particular seasonal release is highly questionnaire but
unmistakably ...

In this follow-up to ANASTASIA, the title character (and most of the others)
are gone, so I can only suppose that BARTOK THE MAGNIFICENT portrays the
future of the Romanoff family (Prince Ivan looks like he could be Dimitri's
grandson or something). Bartok, after the demise of Rasputin, now works in
his own two-man circus act that reinacts his fictitious heroic deeds. After

I had never even heard of this movie until a couple of years ago. This is
yet another stellar movie from the tremendous class of 1994.I was absolutely enthralled by this story, so I went and read the novel it
was derived from, Silas Marner by George Eliot. It was a really good story
as well, but Martin's adaptation was outstanding. He managed to modernize
the story so it could b...

By 1993, director Tim Burton was such a successful filmmaker in
Hollywood that he was able to return to one of his most beloved early
projects, "The Nightmare Before Christmas." It's certainly an inspired
movie, as it is also very weird, and when I say "weird," I mean it's
distinctly Burton.Even though it was directed with enough competency by Henry Selick,
this groundbreaking ...

Now I'm aware that Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is the exact same
plot as the first Home Alone, and not to mention how silly it seems
that these folks would leave their kid behind, but come on, this movie
was all in good fun. It still has me constantly laughing 'till this
day, I think if you loved the first Home Alone, I'm sure that you'll
just naturally love ...

Oh, come on, IMDb users. How could this film get only a 6.5? Yes, it's
a kid's movie, but I know plenty of adults(not including myself) who
loved this film. It touches our hearts, and tickles our funny bones.
Not to mention I think in one way or another we could relate to it.
That's why it remains a classic Christmas comedy.Home Alone is not only one of the highest box ...

It may take two or three viewings to warm up to "Beetlejuice". It has a
kooky, cockeyed sensibility and a rhythm that is by turns easy, lazy
and frenetic. A charming couple in New England die and come back to
their beloved home as ghosts, determined to rid the place of the
horrendous new tenants. Possibly the most benign and engaging
performance ever by Alec Baldwin; Geena Davi...

Out of all the Scorsese films - I would have to admit this ranks in the
top five. After Hours draws you into it's dark and surreal world with
fantastical wonder. The characters are all interesting, the acting
superb - especially Griffin Dunne - and the pacing is great.It was made in 1985, and I can already see the techniques Scorsese used
in Goodfellas - and the quick editing. It i...

A very funny effort. In 1986 I taped it from a rental store video and I
am glad I did. I have now transferred it to DVD on my own but it would
be great if it were released on DVD, digitally restored with a few
special features. This "Mockumentary" features John Candy and Eugene
Levy as the Shmenge Brothers, leaders of a popular polka band, and we
are reflecting on their careers...
