I feel as though I perhaps see more into movies than either: a) what
may actually be meant or b) what others may see in the film. This could
be true with this movie as well, but I think it is the latter.With many movies it is difficult to give a real review without giving
away much of what needs to be experienced first hand. That is
definitely the case with Premonition. So, first I...

A Wrinkle in Time - where do I start? The book, in itself, is one of the
most fabulous, imaginative, fantastical stories ever penned. Madeleine
L'Engle is a writing genius. The book opened up whole new worlds for me, and
taught me (in the forth grade) that it was all right to have imaginings
beyond anything ever heard of.
Now, close to graduation, I watched this, excited, but p...

I didn't think it was possible, but one of John Irving's most difficult
books was condensed by the author himself (the last third of the book is
gone) into a very very good movie. All the acting is great (especially the
nice low key performances by Macguire and Caine), BEAUTIFULLY shot (in
Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts), a score that fits the movie like a glove
and fully re...

The only reason we have a film called "U.S. Marshals" is the cold fact that
somebody was simply dying to see Tommy Lee Jones returning into his
Oscar-awarded role as a tough, bold and unhesitating Deputy Marshal Samuel
Gerard. At first I was thinking "just another foolish sequel" and I have to
admit that at one point it more or less even looked like "U.S. Marshals" is
basically...

"Wolf" posits that the werewolf bite is not necessarily a curse, if what you
really crave is a more wild and natural lifestyle than is possible in our
"civilized" society. Quite cleverly, the story is set in a publishing
company, an environment that is both civilized and predatory at the same
time. Nicholson gives one of his best performances of recent years here, playing
aga...

The Prince of Tides is an exceptional movie! It is filled with emotion,
humor, adventure, and pathos. Nick Nolte is the heart of the film. He
is a broken man, covering up for the past, trying to please his family,
but unable to open up and absolve himself of the dysfunction of his
past life. He travels to New York to try to help his sister by
uncovering what he has been hiding,...

The first time I saw this movie, I fell in love. The second time around, I
was already in love, watching it with my love who also fell in love and now
we're all in love. All because of this movie.Set in New York, the movie deals with loneliness, different ways of coping
or letting go, it deals with love, the yearning for it and also the fear of
it, this magical feeling you almost d...

This film about a German agent trying to escape from Britain might seem to
offer limited scope for interest, but Sutherland's menacing performance
and
the events on the island turn it into something approaching a study in
psychopathy, laden with uncertainty and fear. The vulnerability of Lucy

After so many years, Lugosi's performance of Dracula wilts into camp,
and the overblown Coppola version, while visually stimulating, comes
across as so much hyperbole (Oldman was brilliant, but a few of his
lines were poorly delivered, almost laughably so.)But Langella was the master of all vampires, his performance reels with
sexual presence and a charm and sophistication that...

The Count of Monte Cristo as well as The Man in the Iron Mask were both
made for television in the mid to late 1970s and starred the talented
Richard Chamberlain. Yet, because they were originally made for TV,
they seem to have vanished and I haven't seen either on TV since the
early 1980s (though I did copy them to now worn out videotapes). It's a
real shame, as they were firs...

From the film's title and credits, I had assumed it would be a
hysterical melodrama but, in general, I was pleasantly surprised by the
result! As expected from this director, it's a stylish film but not an
easy one: in fact, it's been likened to Alain Resnais' LAST YEAR AT
MARIENBAD (1961) - though it's not quite that mystifying! Still, the plot does blur the co...
