This movie is about a socially awkward American man and British woman
who meet in London, get to like one another and may have a future
together. The plot has been done a zillion times. I pretty much knew
what was going to happen twenty minutes into the film. What saves the
film from being one huge predictable snooze fest is that the author is
clever enough not to fall into too...

I almost missed this one because I was turned off by the commercials
and previews, with their emphasis on the silliest parts (the dancing
donkey, etc.). What a mistake that would have been -- I'd have missed
one of the driest, archest, loveliest scripts in years. Emma Thompson
can do more with a slightly quirked eyebrow and a quiet "Hm" than most
actresses can with an entire Sh...

I hate romantic comedies. I detest them. You can list the actors I avoid
watching: Hugh Grant, Sandra Bullock, Richard Gere, Julia Roberts.
Romantic
comedies make me cringe and I avoid them like the plague so you can
imagine
the foul mood I was in when I was forced to watch this
film.And the introductory voice-over by Hugh Grant as we watch an airport full
of

I loved T.P from the first time I saw the preview. I went to see it
with my friends and we were just dazzled by the brilliance of the
story. (sorry about my cruddy spelling)I instantly took a liking to
young Jim Hawkins and the charming John Silver, and fell in love with
the wonderful animation. It's been three years since the movie came
out, and I'm still crazy about it. I've ...

The much under-rated Primary Colors represents the zenith of its genre:
a consistently excellent political satire armed with a stellar cast, an
involving, intricate plot, and some of the finest direction in recent
times from the sporadic (yet always reliable) Mike Nichols. John
Travolta's portrayal of a Clinton-esquire Southern governor with a
weakness for women and doughnuts i...

Whoever says they just don't make the quality of pictures today that they
used to hasn't seen or is ignoring this film.That Emma Thompson is one of the greatest actresses working is no secret.
But who would have expected such a miracle from her in the screenwriting
department? Some of the most dramatic moments in 'Sense and Sensibility'
come from her pen, not Jane Austen's, difficu...

This film is one of the strangest films I've ever seen, and I've seen some
pretty strange movies (Attack of the Killer Banana anyone?). Although
extremely strange, it's funny, in only a way the director of Ghostbusters
could make it. Arnold's explanation of why he's so ugly in drag is
hilarious. Emma Thompson gives a particuarly good role by Danny DeVito.
Worth a rental, if ...

Wow, what a wonderful movie this turned out to be!I didn't check this movie out until the fall of 2004 after reading a
number of positive reviews, enough to pique my curiosity. I was glad I
did. In fact, I was so impressed with this film that a week later I
went out and bought the book, which is even better. First of all, the film is a tremendous visual treat. There are some

If it's raining, if it's late, if I'm tired of working, if I'm restless
or if I'm in a quandary of sorts, "Howard's End". I put the film on and
Emma Thompson - presumably with the help of her accomplices, Ivory,
Jhavhala, Hopkins etc - takes me away from whatever mood I'm trying to
escape and leads me through her own, brilliantly drawn, gently
torturous path. I don't recall whe...
