I haven't always been kind to the film adaptations of the Harry Potter
books because they always seemed to be missing something. J.K. Rowling
created a world on the page that was robust and alive, populated by
dozens of interesting characters and wondrous things to behold. The
movies, mainly after the second installment seemed to miss the point.
They always felt like Cliff...

We went to this movie with my two kids (ages 7 and 10, both girls), my
Brother-in-law and his wife and their two kids (ages six and nine, both
boys.) We were a bit apprehensive about this due to the poor critics
ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. (Frankly, the critics gave it abysmal
ratings and I almost avoided this entirely because of those ratings.)
And perhaps they were right. But...

When I first walked into the movie, my expectations were not very high.
The first two movies, I thought, were the best of the series mainly due
to Richard Harris' dead-on portrayal of Dumbledore and screenplays that
closely followed the original books. Though the third and fourth movies
were very artistic and dramatic, I couldn't really connect to them in
the way i had ...

British playwright/screenwriter Alan Bennett, whose scintillating wit
first surfaced in his contributions to the 1960 satiric stage revue,
"Beyond the Fringe," wrote "The History Boys," a play set in the early
1980s about English secondary school students and their teachers,
academic competition and the purpose of education, and the chaotic
developments of adolescent sexuality ...

I must admit I was quite excited to see a new drama about the princes
who disappeared so mysteriously in the Tower way back when, especially
since increasingly more History A-level students, myself included, have
had the opportunity to study the subject as part of the Henry VII
syllabus. And - I say this and feel utterly convinced - I was not
disappointed. "Princes in the Tower...

'Without beauty, there's nothing. Who could love that?' (Ned Kynaston,
Stage Beauty)Don't expect an elegant historical romp from Stage Beauty; it's much
more than that. Director Richard Eyre (Iris) and screenwriter Jeffrey
Hatcher have loosely interpreted true events to deliver a passionate,
romantic journey of gender-bending self-realisation set in the bawdy
world of the Briti...

Harry Potter is growing up! The voice is deepening, the shoulders are
broadening and...hurray! You no longer feel like a creep for having a
little crush on Daniel Radcliffe...whoops, did I say that out loud? Say
what you will, I see him making the jump from child star to adult actor
in a way that Haley Joel Osment only dreams of.Appropriately, this third film in the Harry Potter se...

If you liked the first one then you're going to love this! There's a darker
atmosphere this time around and more characters are introduced including
Gilderoy Lockhart (hilariously played by Kenneth Branagh), Draco Malfoy's
father, Lucius (a great performance by Jason Isaacs, exactly how I imagined
the character from the books!), Ron's father, Arthur, and the mysterious

I enjoyed this movie immensely. But, like "The Phantom Menace," I've had a
very hard time viewing it objectively. There was so much anticipation
leading up to its release, I simply enjoyed the experience of being there.
Having read all four books in the series a few times each, I am overly
familiar with the events in the story. As I watched the movie, my
continuing

The movie, Sleepy Hollow, embodies Tim Burton's unique take on one of
the most well-known horror tales of all time, with a few new plot
twists and greater character development, including a dark past for
Ichabod Crane and a "story behind the story" of what's going on in the
haunted town, which is beautifully rendered, dark and foggy for an
eerie atmosphere.The dream cas...

stupidity, insanity and downright madness of Leslie Nielsen and company
while also deflating cop films, government conspiracies the movie "Ghost"

I think that people are generally harsh towards the nature of this
film. It is not meant to be entirely accurate and yes, perhaps I am
slightly biased having starred in the film myself (Jason Richards (I)
on IMDb). You will see that I played the role of Ralph II, the little
guy who played that tiny piano/ keyboard at the end of the film! Having
looked at the film again recently...

'Withnail and I' is a classic, in every sense of the word. Bruce
Robinson deserves rich applause for creating a debauched world of weird
thumbs, phenodihydrochloride benelex, old suits, uncontaminated urine
and the Camberwell carrot.It is Camden in 1969, and two unemployed actors, Withnail (Richard E
Grant), and I (Paul McGann), are facing up to the reality of an empty

After I first saw this, I thought, "Wow, this is the most spectacular
movie, visually-speaking, I've ever seen." Since that time, I've seen
some that topped it but it still ranks as one of the best in that
department. I'm just disgusted the long-awaited DVD was so poorly done,
the quality of this transfer hardly better than the VHS tape.The jungle scenes are filmed in Cameroon, and...
