We know that Mark Wahlberg refused to play Rockstar's "Max Payne" game
before performing in this film, but, in addition, I must assume that
neither the director nor the screenwriter ever played this game before,
either. If there weren't so many shots of the background scenery that
tied in with the game (although they were never fully or, in some
cases, partially explore...

"We've got a couple of hours before dinner; time for a couple of sex
surveys. Who wants to go first?" This line from KINSEY is a great representation of the movie. It
illustrates the film's offhanded sense of humor and shows that the
otherwise taboo topic of sex is tossed about in a way that can be seen
as being either casually shocking or mundanely trivial. And, logically
enou...

Cool is a difficult concept; it's something that, by its very nature,
is unattainable because if you're having to make an effort to achieve
it then you obviously haven't got it in the first place. Quentin
Tarantino's a geek, but he's cool when it comes to translating his
ideas onto the big screen, and that's fine – the only problem is,
people see a cool concept, they all t...

While mountaineering is one of the most exhilarating of sports it has
produced little good fiction, and few good fictional movies, though
there have been some excellent documentaries ('The Man who Skied Down
Everest', the Imax 'Everest' film, for example). Somehow, when it comes
to fiction, the clich...

It's hard to believe a film this sunny came from Robert Altman, and is also
this good, but there you go. While I love some of his films, like M*A*S*H,
MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER, NASHVILLE, THE PLAYER, and SHORT CUTS, there are
times when I feel he has a fundamental contempt for his subject matter, like
in THE LONG GOODBYE and POPEYE, and for his characters. But while this
movie,...

Don't get me wrong, the old Adam West Batman TV show was certainly funny,
and given the times, a more accurate representation of what Batman was
trying to be wouldn't have succeeded nearly as well. But the show still
betrayed all the emotion and grimness of Batman's themes.In Batman & Robin, Schumacher seems to be getting back to those roots. He

This is not one of the more famous (author) John Grisham based-movies
and it's a bit talky for my normal tastes, but it was interesting. You
can thank Chris O'Donnell and Gene Hackman for two excellent acting
performances which helped make this so entertaining in spots.O'Donnell plays young attorney "Adam Hall" (shades of Matt Damon's
character in another Grisham mo...

Tim Burton got good actors to star in the first two Batman films, but
Joel figured that he'd just use the Batman ploy to get as many
top-quality actors as he could so that Nicole Kidman and Val Kilmer
could say: "Hey! I was in a Batman film! Shows you what a great actor I
am!" He also used Burton's ploy from 'Batman Returns' of using two
villains at once. Person...

I originally watched this movie to see Ciaran Hinds (the college
professor)
who was wonderful in a supporting role.I love this movie. It is so powerful in its simplicity. The actors were
so
embracable in their portrayals as young adults in the 50's with all the
sexual taboos. The scenery is grand!I watch this movie at least once a month and have recommended it to many

I particularly liked the evil performances of Rochefort (Michael Wincott)
and Cardinal (Tim Curry). The rest of the cast includes plenty of A-list
types such as Keifer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt, Rebecca
DeMornay, Gabriel Anwar, and Chris O'Donnell. There are more great
one-liners in this movie than a Clint Eastwood film, a Sean Connery film,
and a Arnold Schwar...

It's a line the headmaster of the school asks the star quarterback
David Greene when he catches him praying at church after curfew but
praying in observance of the Jewish new year. Greene's reply to the
Headmaster of this Christian Prep Academy is..."mine or yours". This is
the essence of the storyline. A Christian Prep Academy in New England
is tired of mediocrity in football ...

The Scent of a Woman is the kind of film that many would think belongs to
a
bygone era. While it is frank and contemporary without sugar coating it
illustrates the value of character over glitz and how small acts can have
long lasting consequences.The film pits two characters who are diametrical opposites. Al Pacino
plays
the world weary retired Army Lt. Colonel who throu...

This is truly a beautiful film.Well written and superbly acted it tugs at the heartstrings harder than
almost any other movie. The way it sets up an obvious story line and
then like a gentle roller-coaster suddenly takes you in another
direction is unequalled in this type of film.There are so many points of genuine sadness and whenever you think you
have guessed the story you sudde...
