Genres: Comedy    Drama    Mystery   

Starring: Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Bill Murray, Lucas Black, Gerald McRaney, ...


"Get Low" is a quiet and tender tale, which tries to be very moving,
but it never reaches an adequate emotional level. The film is about a
senile old man, marvelously portrayed by Robert Duvall, who wishes to
arrange a party for his funeral while he's still alive. The only
funeral parlor in this backwoods town during the depression era is
owned by a business...

A country mausoleum janitor tries to help a group of stranded people
survive the night in the apparently haunted mausoleum, but one by one
they start disappearing.What can I say about this disappointing film? Annoying editing and fade
effects. An ending twist (roll eyes) so obvious and overworn that
you've already probably guessed it. Awkward pacing. Characters behaving

Four old guys hire a bus to go and save one of their daughters from
getting married to the wrong guy in Vegas and on the way they prove
they can still party-hearty.The Bucket List it ain't - but with the likes of Rip Torn, George
Segal, Peter Falk, and the wonderful Bill Cobbs it is what it is: a
no-brain required college road trip but instead of the 20 year old it's

HARD LUCK with Wesley Snipes, Mario Van Peebbles and Cybill Shepherd.
Not bad but I think its a little late coming. It feels like it should
have been released at least six to seven years ago. It is part of the
post-Pulp Fiction style of movies of the last 12 years. It has that
Tarantino, DePalma, David Lynch feel to it at times that I think Van
Peebles(and Snipes I would imagin...

I came into this movie thinking that it would suck AND disliking Ben
Stiller very much. But I thought, hey, free tickets, Monday night, how
bad could it be? Well, it wasn't. It was much funnier and had a much
better script than I had anticipated. Stiller, famous for being *in*
funny situations and not making them, actually acted like a comic
character, something of a cross ...

Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Bill Campbell, Tessa Allen, Juliette Lewis, Dan Futterman, ...

First off...why does the fact that this movie deals with spousal abuse and a
woman smart enough to run and hide automatically make it a ripoff of
"Sleeping with the Enemy"? Because "The Count of Monte Cristo" has
swordplay, does that make it a ripoff of all of the Zorro movies, or the
Robin Hood movies? Does the fact that Spiderman is a Marvel Superhero make
it a ripoff of "T...

Starring: Harrison Ford, Kristin Scott Thomas, Charles S. Dutton, Bonnie Hunt, Dennis Haysbert, ...

True, there are some goofs, for the one who wants to find them. They're
not important, though.The primary feature of this film is watching veteran expert actors do
their craft. Kristin Scott Thomas is beautiful and plays well the part
of a strong woman, but one who has been hurt. Same for Harrison Ford,
who, for the ladies, is just as beau as Kristin is belle for us guys.Their hurt...

The first "I Know What You Did..." film had a plot to go with the stalking
and the suspense. The follow-up film has no story, just your standard
slasher stalks and kills teens....as well as anybody else in the film.However, that said, it still was fun to watch, although maybe a little too
graphic for my taste in a couple of spots. Unlike many of the other posted
comments, I found B...

Genres: Drama    Romance   

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Harry Connick Jr., Gena Rowlands, Mae Whitman, Michael Paré, ...

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. To those who are calling it
boring, full of drivel, etc., you are entitled to your opinion, but
please quit stating it as fact. Anyone who has been through an ugly,
painful divorce, been dumped by someone they adored and trusted, or
even just grew up in a smalltown can surely appreciate the feelings
invoked by this movie. The characte...

Genres: Adventure    Comedy    Drama    Family   

Starring: Gena Rowlands, Tony Shalhoub, Cheech Marin, Bruce Davison, Trini Alvarado, ...

Somehow, this movie manages to be invigorating, bittersweet, and
heartwarming at the same time. Stars like Tony Shalhoub (from Providence)
bring the tale to life. The story itself is inspiring. We see a desperate,
up-and-down life through the most innocent eyes imaginable: a bird's.Paulie begins his life as a baby parrot given to a little girl

Genres: Drama   

Starring: Laurence Fishburne, Daniel Williams, Bill Cobbs, Natalie Cole, Laurie Metcalf, ...

This is one of those movies that's great for some, horrible for others.
I don't think there's a middle ground. I happen to love it, mainly for
the setting and the score. I, like Socrates, have always liked Los
Angeles for it's anonymity, too. Believe it or not, I sometimes go to
L.A. to get away from people! That phrase makes perfect sense to anyone
who's be...

Starring: Tom Everett Scott, Liv Tyler, Johnathon Schaech, Steve Zahn, Ethan Embry, ...

Tom Hanks wrote and directed this paean to the glory days of rock n' roll,
an era in which even the wildest music still reflected a certain innocence,
long since gone if not forgotten, before the advent of Metal, Rap and
Grunge. It's 1964, and `That Thing You Do!' is about to become a hit record
for a small band out of Erie, Pa., who call themselves the `Oneders

Despite persistent talk of Hollywood's "Golden Age of Cinema",
movie-making did not truly reach its zenith until 1996. The movie was
"Ed", not to be confused with the Whoopie Goldberg abortion of
celluloid "Eddie", that premiered during that same year. In "Ed"
award-winning documentary filmmaker Bill Couturie employs the technique
of cinema verite that lets the camera capture a...

To someone picking up this little flick without bothering to go into it
a bit more, you are probably expecting some Disney-like movie (Just
look at the box cover) and the premise even suggest it: A man is
reincarnated as a dog and goes on a search to find his family. Boy, was
I surprised. Not only is the dog trying to find his family, he's out
for revenge against the man who pu...

Another fascinating piece from the Coen Brothers, 'The Hudsucker Proxy'
is an homage to the films of the 1930s. From the grey faux-Gothic
cityscape to the over-the-top acting and rapid fire dialogue to the
subdued colors to the stark sets, this film hearkens back to an earlier
era of films. The plot is simple enough. When company president Waring Hudsucker
commits suicide, the ...

The story of a superstar singer who falls in love with her bodyguard
could have been a major disaster. I remember the previews and thinking
it was going to be one. However once the film was out and I actually
watched it I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this is a really
good romance and a really good thriller. Of course its hokey and
Hollywood and all of that but you ...

Genres: Crime    Drama    Thriller   

Starring: Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, Allen Payne, Chris Rock, Mario Van Peebles, ...

This is one great movie, but the thing that really made it special was
Wesley Snipes portrayal of a totally despicable character in Nino Brown.
He
didn't portray Nino as the stereotypical drug dealer. Instead he
portrayed
Nino as a highly intelligent man who you wonder what would have happened
if
he had put his intelligence to more productive pursuits. Also, Ice-T

I really think people who describe this as a comedy or even a horror comedy
are missing the point - it's a classic fairy/folk tale, right down to the
theme of the kid having to earn manhood and a "real name" by doing a heroic
deed. Wicked step-parents, hidden treasure (gold coins, even!), creepy house
with secret passages and monsters in the basement, captive maiden to be
rescu...

Starring: Kevin Kline, Susan Sarandon, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Harvey Keitel, Danny Aiello, ...

I really liked this film. Far be it from being one of the greatest films of
all time, this is one that is in the category of "underrated" like Loser and
The Bone Collector. I really liked the way the plot and the characters
developed. To me, I thought the cast were all a little out there but isn't
all of humanity like that in form or another. Kevin Kline did very well as
an...

People misunderstood "The Color of Money," I think. There are a few
things to keep in mind: 1) This was a Martin Scorsese film. Scorsese was fresh off "Taxi
Driver," "Raging Bull," and other such successes from less than a
decade before. People were expecting a lot.2) It starred Paul Newman, returning to his character from "The
Hustler," in a sequel that was twenty-five years in th...

*Minor spoilers*It's great to see this odd and remarkable film finally getting a
worthwhile DVD release. BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET is among the few
John Sayles films I've seen, and watching it again makes me want to
