Perhaps, the most startling aspect of "Two Lovers" is Joaquin Phoenix's
performance. Superb. I haven't really liked any of the James Gray's
films, until now that is. There is something profoundly moving and
profoundly truthful here and I'm sure it has to do with Phoenix's
portrayal. Gwynneth Paltrow is wonderful as the girl walking an
emotional tightrope. An...

Los Angeles is a city of transplants, every person arriving with a
dream that is eventually shown to be an illusion in the harsh light of
city's reality. GARDEN PARTY weaves this theme beautifully with an
ensemble cast of up-and-comers. The film introduces each character as a classic archetype - the runaway
teen, the frustrated artist, the demanding successful boss, the
asp...

I saw this film last night at a preview in the lead up to the Toronto
International Film Festival. Having never been a big western fan (with
a few exceptions - Shane, High Noon, The Wild Bunch) and having been
rather indifferent to Walking The Line, James Mangold's last
directorial effort, my expectations were modest, despite the hype that
the film has received. But I was d...

I'm assuming the filmmakers heart was in the right place but, frankly,
this movie is truly unconscionable. I was offended by the tone and the
total cop out ending. You cannot take issues like this so lightly!
Without knowing the final caveat of the movie... we watch as a guy guns
down his 9 month pregnant wife and two sons and are supposed to follow
him for the next 2+ hour...

The Hills Have Eyes, although a remake of the original, was everything
a horror movie should be. Typically, I'm not a fan of slasher flicks,
but this movie had elements I like to see in a movie. I don't like to
see the protagonists making stupid mistakes (the old "curiosity killed
the cat" syndrome), I don't like being able to guess the villain 20
minutes into the movie (althou...

It doesn't take much to get me to go to a movie, and I had high hopes
for a movie with a) Josh Hartnett, and b) a clever premise. I looked
forward to insightful and funny commentary about the relationship
between sex and love and men and women in our post-modern world. What I
got was breasts. Lots and lots of breasts. While the movie does a
fairly good job (by Hollywood sta...

Probably the only thing that got the movie up to a four for me is the fact
that I love Peter Falk. One of the world's great portrayers of bumbling
incompetence . . . and yet he is one of the only anchors that prevents
this
from being a chaotic disaster. As Pops Romano, he provides a respectable
mix of gangster charm and straight man to Chris Kattan's manic
foolishness.

This movie could be an excellent film, having a great cast and budget,
photography and soundtrack, but it does not work well. Why? Because of the
confused screenplay and a terrible and even pretentious direction. There are
two stories, one of them excellent. In 1873, two women are ax murdered in an
isolated island in New Hampshire. A man is accused of the crime by the
survival,...

While I've been enjoying this film for years, I only recently decided to
read some reviews for it, and am shocked! The truth is, this film is a
wonderfully comical and charming tale of three Salem witches that are
resurrected by a teenage boy, who, with the help of his little sister and
love interest, must try to stop them from stealing the souls of children.
This movie really...
