As someone who actually does suffer from Asperger's Syndrome, it is
easier for me than it might be for some people to understand and relate
to many of the things that Adam says and does. I have been apprehensive
in the past about viewing films that deal with this sort of subject, as
I have learned that many of them paint stereotypical, unrealistic, and
occasionally belittl...

In the movie Greta Hilary Duff has definitely step up from her usual
squeaky clean teen movie. She plays Greta a sixteen year old who is a
trip without the luggage. Her mother is on her third marriage and
decides its time for Greta to spend some time with her grandparents
much to her dismay. She is confident and smart but you can tell through
the movie that she is searching for...

Why do these movies feel they need to include a bratty, spoiled,
overbearing kid?? The ridiculous performance of Jaden Smith added
annoyance to the empty script.The movie starts off well enough, and then tries miserably to develop
the characters and make us care for them. The Bates role is absurd;
Cleese's role has virtually nothing to say this amazing encounter. The
milita...

This film screened at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX. This is a
warm feel good film with a positive message that would be particularly
good for teaching teens about overcoming prejudice and understanding
different cultures. The film focuses on two young female teachers - one
an Orthodox Jew and the other an observant Muslim - who are assigned to
work together in a multi-e...

First of all, I was made aware of this movie by friends. And while I
was quite an Elijah Wood fan some years ago, I must admit my
expectations weren't really that high.But then I started reading something about the plot and thought, "Hmmm,
this *could* be a film worth watching." So, I got myself tickets for
the Monday screening at the Tribeca Film Festival. And I don't regr...

This movie is not as bad as it is cracked out to be. I actually went into
the movie with a negative bias by reading all the comments and hearing all
the trashing reviews. This movie was not too bad at all. I found it very
watchable. Okay ask yourself whether you like the show Everybody Loves Raymond. Because
that it is how most of the humor is in the movie, minus the laugh track. T...

Ignore the low rating, flames by computer geeks and bad reviews. The
First 20 million is always the hardest is an excellent tale of backstab
business, living the dream and starting over.The actors work wonderfully together to produce a high quality of wit
and light humor not seen in many of the movies of 2002, and the
producers did an excellent budgeting job, seeing as the movie wa...

After reading about this film, I decided I needed a brainless laugh for a
change so I went ahead and braved it. I knew right from the start I wasn't
going to take this seriously, and that's the main thing you have to remember
when watching it. It's just fluff. But it's outrageous and very funny fluff
also. The ridiculous plot and the drawn-out chase that Gilly goes to to try
an...

"Dinner Rush" has not been released in Germany --- which usually indicates
a
not very successful B-movie... In this case, it is a B-movie (shot in only
21 days!), but, uuhhh baby, it is one of the best B-movies ever
made.Elegant camera movements, a superb ensemble cast (Danny Aiello, John
Corbett, Edoardo Ballerini, Vivian Wu, Sandra Bernhard, Mark Margolis, and
beautiful S...

A seemingly small movie yet it's beyond charming, it has heart. Don't
dismiss this as an expanded version of the TV series Jennifer is in, she's
what she is, yet she fits into this story so well, playing opposite Jay Mohr
and Kevin Bacon, with Ileanna Douglas as her best friend and Olympia Dukakis
as her mom – it's Jennifer Aniston perfect.The heart may not be evident in the b...

'Sophie's Choice' should be compulsory viewing for any member of the voting
panel who decide Academy Award winners. Quite simply, Meryl Streep's
performance is THE benchmark for that 'Best Actress' category. I've seen a
LOT of films, but not one performance has ever (and will ever) match her's.
The manner in which she embodies Sophie goes beyond explanation. It is too
accomplis...
