If you expect something of the detail of "The Wire", an HBO series
about urban Baltimore, you will likely come away with disappointment
for "Brooklyn's Finest". Both portray the shady sides of law
enforcement, but "The Wire" better immerses you in the city underworld
from the viewpoint of drug dealers on the street and special
investigato...

A septic tank cleaner Sully (Hawke) wants his unborn child to have a
genius IQ; a mobster boss Tarzo (D Onofrio) wants to become truly
famous; and Jasper (Cassel), a deaf mute butcher, plays the horses and
does dirty work for Tarzo. When their paths collide, nothing will ever
be the same. This starts out like it's going to be a comedy of sorts telling all
about the forgott...

I attended the World Premiere of "Daybreakers" at the 2009 Toronto
International Film Festival. Like many genre films being screened here,
it's another fascinating hybrid -- let's call this one vampire sci-fi
action adventure.This Australian horror film (is it something in the water?) was written
and directed by brothers Michael and Peter Spierig, the very same

Two dysfunctional brothers (Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke) get
tired of competing for who is the bigger f***-up and who Daddy (Albert
Finney) loves more, so they hatch a hair-brained scheme to rob Mommy
and Daddy's jewelry store so that they can clear their debts and start
fresh. Sounds like a great plan except that this is a suspenseful
1970's style melodrama ...

I saw this film in Venice on Saturday 2 September. I absolutely loved
it! I haven't read the book , so cannot comment on how faithful the film
is, however I really enjoyed it, and it was certainly the best I saw in
Venice.The story made me really emotional. I could see myself or my friends at
20 years old and recognised a lot of emotional patterns that are
typical of growin...

A remake of John Carpenter's superior film of the same title from 1976,
Assault on Precinct 13 concerns a siege on a largely abandoned police
station, which is related to the presence of a notorious criminal,
Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne). It's left up to a ragtag group of
police employees and criminals to defend themselves.I should start by noting that I absolutely love Carpe...

"Taking Lives" is a standard-issue, run-of-the-mill thriller about a
serial killer and the FBI agent determined to capture him. When bodies
start piling up in the Montreal area, the agent - an expert in serial
killer profiling - is brought in to assist the local authorities in
finding the culprit. The perpetrator's modus operandi is to target men
roughly his own age and build, ...

...is that it ends. This is a fantastic film. It joins the handful of
movies where I think I liked the sequel even more than the original,
although I liked 'Before Sunrise' as well. Where Sunrise captured the
immediacy and urgency of perfect youthful love, Sunset reflects
beautifully on the aftermath of that perfection. I remember a line that
says "nothing that is complete brea...

This film took me two days to decide whether I liked it or not. When
the final credits rolled, rather creatively at that, I couldn't figure
out if this was pure brilliance on the part of Richard Linklater, or if
it was nothing more than a group of friends trying to make an
independent film. I could not decide. I even listened to the audio
commentary of Ethan Hawke and Richard L...

This is a magnificent adaptation of David Guterson's acclaimed book. Scott
Hicks took on a gargantuan task in attempting to make the book into a film,
not only because it was so powerful and well received, but because it was so
lengthy and daedal. The result, however, was one of the best films I have
seen in quite some time.There were really three stories intricately interwoven i...

I have never read Dickens' "Great Expectations," but I can tell you
that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Let me clear
something up right away. This is not a b-movie, a cheesy remake, or even a
remake. It is my understanding that this movie is loosely based on the
Dickens' book, but that it does follow the themes, just not the exact story.
This is a great mo...

Gattaca is a brilliant under-rated piece of cinema that the not-too-distant
future will, in retrospect, see it as one of the more outstanding movies of
the nineties. It is prolific, stylish, thought-provoking, and one of the
few recent science fiction movies that totally foregoes special effects and
does it well.There is nothing about Gattaca that I didn't like. It is a subtle pi...

What an incredibly brave and honest look at relationships. I've have never
seen a film so precisely and brilliantly capture this kind of emotion and
transfer it to the screen the way Before Sunrise does. What a crime that
neither Ethan Hawke or Julie Delpy was nominated for any major acting
awards, actually screw that! What a crime it was that they didn't both sweep
every major...

The first time I reviewed "Reality Bites" I was 15, and I had missed
much of the film's point, praising it without critique. The second time
was after viewing the film again a year later, upon which I began to
notice things that I had naively ignored, such as just what
self-centred people the characters were. I re-reviewed it, this time
with an overly negative response. It was ...

I first saw the film "Alive" on video. I really wish I had seen it in the
theater as it was probably one of the better films to come out around that
time. I thought it was well shot, well acted and the fact that the real
survivors were on hand as technical advisors showed me that the film was
as
accurate as it could be. One of the frustrations Ive come across in
discussing ...

Ahh. White Fang. The very title itself brings warmth to my heart as it was
the first novel I ever read. Now, this isn't quite an exact adaption of
Jack
London's novel, that would be difficult. What is does do is take the fine
wildlife elements of the novel and fuse them onto the tale of a boy rather
than vice versa as in the novel. This is more the story of Jack than the

There are certain films that get under your skin, never to come out. They
change your life, subtly altering your perceptions of reality, almost always
for the better.Dead Poets Society is one of those few films.I saw the movie back when I was in High School. I had a teacher who told us
that we really needed to watch it; in fact, it was our "homework" for the
day. We didn't need to ...

All kids should watch this - between the ages of 6 and 13. I saw this when
it came out on video - I was 8 - don't know how I missed it at the cinema -
it couldn't have had a big release in the UK.
I loved the detail and imagination within this movie - like the one dream
that the three boys all share, the sphere they create from their computer,
the guard dog they give bubble gum...
