Almost accidentally I ended up in front of the big screen to see this
movie. At first I wasn't very happy with this 'accident', thinking that
I must have seen enough animated movies by now! I mean, yes they're all
very nice with funny characters and nice graphics and all, but come on!
How many of these movies can a man takes?! Turns out: at least one more! It wa...

I thought Timberlake and Bridges were a good match as dysfunctional
father and son. Good story line and nice set of subtle twists and
turns. Timberlake was impressive as an actor, quite believable really .
Kate Mara , soft spoken yet sweet girl next door kind of looks ... A
believable , down home story that I thought was well executed. I
especially liked that there were no Chas...

I saw this movie at the Toronto Filmfest and had such high hopes...
soon to be dashed. The plot is both confused and boring, leaving the
audience incapable of identifying with the characters. The backdrop of
an erupting volcano tries to give the film tension but merely confuses
the storyline. Harvey Keitel manages to make some of the movie at least
watchable but this movie rate...

over the head with a baseball bat.It starts off fairly annoying... bunch of pimply-faced white wanna-be's
spouting rapid fire ghetto speak with rap music blaring in the
background. Eminem would be proud. I thought to myself, "oh no, here we

I just viewed this film OnDemand. A weird and perilous 73 minute jaunt
through several highlights of HST's life. While not as detailed as
other treatments of the subject matter, this film makes up for its lack
of depth by a sweeping breadth of scope, and is more pleasing to the
middle-of-the-road HST enthusiast, with less drug use, less profanity,
less crotchety-ness, more ...

I just saw this film at the New York Film Festival followed by a Q & A
session with David Lynch, Laura Dern, and Justin Theroux. I will try my
best to recount my thoughts while they are fresh, and incorporate what
the film maker and actors had to say. "I can't tell if it's yesterday or tomorrow and it's a real mind f---" This single quote from Laura Dern sums the movie up f...

... I can't understand why some people gave it such bad reviews.This is an excellent film, OK it isn't a movie that makes you laugh
till you cry, nor is it a movie with huge depth, but it was so much
fun. The jokes are not a mile a minute but the movie wouldn't work that
way, this is subtle comedy and that needs to be understood.My two younger sisters (12 and 14) came to se...

It is rare to come across films as unique and fine tuned as CHRYSTAL,
even more so when the only recognizable feature is the big name star on

dwell on the screen like glowing embers until the collective heat

I guess it's hard to address serious issues when you're dealing with a
plot about a flamboyant southern belle who raises her son to be a
natural-born-whore, because this movie is considered to be a failure
even though it really isn't. It's neither the ready-made slice-of-life
that Sundance specializes in, nor is it an innovative film like "Pi,"
so casual independent fans have l...

The Green Mile is a masterwork. This is film as art, at it's very best. The
depth of the cast is extraordinary, with all of the players delivering
excellent performances. There is a clear sense here that all involved in
the
production knew that this was something special, and gave it their all. See
this film if you truly enjoy actors giving everything to their craft. Watch

I've enjoyed this movie ever since I first saw it in the theatre. Some
movies have a cast of characters and a script that come together in
perfect synergy, and this is one of them. The characters illustrate
some truths about getting the best out of people, working together
harmoniously, building a team and achieving goals, without ever
preaching morality. The situations are cra...

I write this for people who've seen the movie, and don't understand it.
First of all, you have to understand that Sarah suffered from
multi-personality disorder from a long time before the movie started;
most likely since she was a child. She didn't know this herself,
because it's like that with MPD's. The regular personality doesn't know

Recipient of the prestigious Palme d'Or award at Cannes, David Lynch's
"Wild at Heart" is an amazingly brilliant spectacle for the senses.
Bold splashes of deep red, curiously staged musical numbers (Nicolas
Cage does his own singing – and he's great!), and the continuous
references to "The Wizard of Oz" help create a surreal and dreamlike
texture to the narrative. The sto...

Writer John Hughes has the 80's pegged. But this story could have been set
in the 50's or 60's and still worked well. That is why I think this movie is
so relevant. Devotion, friendship, and self worth are quizzed. The young
actors were better than expected. I have watched this over a dozen times and
I don't care if some people refer to this as a "chick flick".A young girl falls in...

When One Magic Christmas came out in 1985 on TV, my mom recorded it on
to a VHS tape. We had this beat up, bad copy of the movie. You had to
turn the volume up all the way in order to hear anything, still this
movie was amazing to me. Mary Steenbergen doesn't believe in Christmas
or Santa. She is such a scrooge about the season, that not even her
kids' excitement could ...

It's hard for me to select just one movie as my very favorite, but if I
had
to, "Paris, Texas" would probably be it.As I recall, I first saw it while I was a student in a small theater in
'84
or '85; a year or two later I recorded it from cable to Beta tape. After
not having watched it for years, I've played it again a few times over
the
last couple of years. Many mov...

Reading previous commentary, I'm amused by the violent reaction this
movie still elicits. The ranting of previous reviewers indicates the
movie touched a nerve. I have seen really, really bad movies and Red

film because its premise conflicts with the...

The title "Young Doctors In Love" is perhaps the most mis-leading title
ever
to be placed on a movie. It sounds like a passionate love story and not
like
a hilarious "spoof" movie that it is. This spoof movie is right up there
with the "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" movies, and far better than the spoof
movies of the 90's such as "Wrongfully Accused", "The Silence Of The

John Huston used to describe the story as that of a young man who was

put it near "reflections in a golden eye" (1967),"under the volcano" (1984)
and his final apotheosis "the dead" (1987)"Wise blood" is a the story of a long suicide.It's a hell of a thing to tell

If you're looking for a Howard Hawks/John Wayne-style western, the
Missouri Breaks may not be for you. It is, in my opinion, the most
sadly underrated western ever.This film didn't get the treatment it deserved when it came out in the
70s in part because its two stars, coming off movies like the Godfather
and Chinatown, were box office powerhouses in their prime when unique...

In the wake of 'The Long Goodbye' and, especially, 'Chinatown', there was
a
profusion in the mid- to late-70s of recreated films noirs of the
Chandlerian bent, many featuring aging stars. 'Farewell My Lovely' is one
of the best - while it does not reek of the depravity of Dmytryk's 1944
version, starring Dick Powell, it is broader in scope, and truer to a kind
of lived-in ...
