You can't speak of amazing voices without mentioning the Tibetan Monks . http www youtube com watch v 5xGgDiH7HFw I heard some of them live back in around ' 90 or ' 91 at Wake Forest University . Literally amazing . Cheers , Schizo http www youtube com watch v r2DVsQDOGkc | 88 |
An incredibly uninspired television anthology sequel that has little to do with the first fantastic film , except that the lead character in all three stories is played by one woman . It goes something like this : Lysette Anthony goes all gravedigger and gets chased by giant rat puppets . Lysette Anthony gets chased by a wretched child actor playing her resurrected son in a pseudo-Gothic setting . Lysette Anthony gets chased by the infamous zuni fetish doll from the first TV movie except the special effects are somehow worse two decades later . Even this last segment is uninteresting . Anthony is obviously no Karen Black , but she does a good job with the garbage she's given . | 10 |

here's my two cents : when they fight about screwing each others gf's in the car and luisa walks away , she screams " all you two wanna do is * beep * each other , so go ahead ! " even though she didn't mean it literally , but figuratively , they did end up having sex later that night , there is no doubt in my mind about that . but they did it because , a ) it was the heat of the moment , they're drunk and horny and this wicked hot woman is pleasuring them both , so why not make it hotter by making out ? and b ) because i think deep down inside , they wanted to try it with each other , because , i don't know , maybe because they were so close , or maybe because they were young and wanted to try new things , like fck an older woman , have a threesome , or in this case , make out with a guy , so why not your best friend ? http www youtube com watch v xFtYpLV4EPo | 98 |

I have seen my share of hardcore matches before . Not nearly as hardcore as the one in this movie ( Believe me , those types of matches exist in real life ) , but hardcore nonetheless . I have seen thumbtacks used , staple guns used before ( Particularly in ECW back in the late 1990s ) , and barbed wire matches , not to mention flaming tables . All I need is one mic . . . | 35 |

I find BATMAN89 to actually be the most enjoyable film of the franchise , even with it's dark over and undertones . BATMAN RETURNS is deeper and scarier and perhaps a better film , but I find BATMAN89 to be an easier film to watch . BATMAN BEGINS is very good and I need to watch it more to say if I think it's on par with Burton's films . I just prefer Burton's world to Nolan's . TDK ? Just don't get the appeal of that movie at all ! | 22 |
Okay , well , I've said it before , I'll say it again , it isn't a big deal . It's a reply to a thread , which if you take that too seriously in the first place , there is your first problem . If you cean't delete an email , you prbably shouldn't have one . I sware I've never seen people get so upset over something as ridiculous as this . We still have six more minutes to play . | 4 |
Pop stars / singers can be just as talented as any other genre of music . Just because someone doesn't play the guitar doesn't mean they don't have any talent . I personally prefer how well someone sings over how many instruments they can play . I'm not defending Justin here but Pop music in general | 38 |
I'm surprised . I remember going to see this 3 times when it was playing in summer 2000 . On top of that , I remember the theater being packed on all 3 times . And I remember people talking about it for a while , even a year after it came out . But recently , the most I've ever heard about it is from one kid I know who likes it . Why did it die out in popularity so much ? I haven't seen it since it was playing in the theaters , so maybe I would need to see it again to see why people didn't like it , but I do remember people liking it when it was in the theaters . I guess it's just one of those movies that people went to see when it was playing , but it just isn't special enough to get recognition in the future . www . myspace . com / frankboothdelarge | 52 |

this animated movie from Nickelodeon stars the Thornberry family , who originated from a cartoon series ) in their first movie . i liked this movie . it's got some catchy music and lots of action . it's too dark for little kids due to certain themes . there are some scenes of peril and loss . it's not really a funny movie . it's more of an action adventure . it reminded me a little bit of the Lion King . the movie also deals with some good themes such as family and love . of course things end on a happy note . if you're an adult , there should be enough here to keep you entertained , and older kids will no doubt enjoy it . for me , The Wild Thornberrys movie is a | 6 |

Just when you think a Hollywood blockbuster type movies couldn't get any worse , some shyt will always pop-up . ' Legion ' is one such poop . The film centres around nine caricatures : a fallen angel ( Paul Bettany ) , a token young black guy ( Tyrese Gibson ) , a token fat black guy ( Charles Dutton ) , a haggard dad telling his son what to do ( Denis Quaid ) , his idiotic son ( Lucas Black ) , a pregnant slut ( Whatever her name is ) , a whiny hot mom ( Kate Walsh ) and her harlot teen daughter ( Willa Holland ) . Now the story goes as follows : Apocalypse . Angels have taken over the world in order to erase humanity . So these annoying caricatures are stuck in some diner in the middle of the desert and the fallen angel is here to help them . Well , not really . All he cares about is pregnant sluts unborn baby . None of these characters are even remotely likable . I was hoping that I'd at least have the pleasure to see all of them die a brutal death especially the waitress . But , even there it disappointed . I doubt a story could get any more pathetic than this . I had only seen a clip of ' Legion ' and noticed Kate Walsh . Thus , I decided to watch it . Little did I know it would be this bad . What a mess really . Except for a few good special effects , it has nothing to offer . | 2 |

well it was good in the sense that nothing went wrong and at least the crowd gave a nice pop when she went for the moonsault . i would rate it a 10 out of 10 since i was worrying Maryse would be keeping the belt until Melina's return in the summer . let's just hope McCool doesn't get traded to Raw and immediately beat Eve for the title . lord knows we don't need her forced upon us any more than she already is There's something about flying a kite at night that's so unwholesome | 31 |
It comes down to taking it or leaving it I suppose . Either the horse scene is too much for you and you avoid the film altogether , or you accept that despite the cruelty the film is rewarding overall . Personally I usually won't watch a film that features animal cruelty . I refused to watch Godard's ' Week End ' ; but some films , such as Apocalypse Now or Andrei Rublev are too powerful and too amazing for me not to watch . I guess for me the scales tip in favor of the power of art as oppose to ethics . Not to say that that is every case , but only that if a film is as rewarding as Rublev , I can sit through an uncomfortable scene . Last film seen : Halloween 8 / 10 | 26 |

i thought this was a really good movie . it's a sort of ghost story / end of the world prophecy combination . it has some similarities to both " The Ring " and " The Grudge " . i didn't really care for those 2 movies . i just didn't feel they worked for me . this 1 however , worked really well for me . there are many very suspenseful and eerie moments . the hair on my neck stood up a lot in this movie . i thought the acting was pretty good . i also liked that fact that they kept you guessing about things until the end . i did , anyway , and i wasn't sure how it would end . i like unpredictability in these kinds of movies . the ending is sort of open ended , so you can come to your own conclusions . i think this is 1 of the better movies of this genre , that i have seen . i'm sure there are lot's of plot holes and inconsistencies , if you really look for them . but i just wanted to be entertained and hopefully creeped out for a couple hours , and i was . besides , i / m sure every movie has flaws of some kind . it just depends what your reasons for watching are . if you did enjoy " The Grudge " and " The Ring " , you may enjoy this movie as much or maybe more . for me , " 11 : 11 : Hell's Gate is a | 6 |
Like American superhero comics in general , they're following in that less-than-grand tradition of killing off major characters , and then bringing them back ( Jean Grey / Phoenix , Colossus , Captain America , Robin 2 , Aunt May , Gwen Stacey as a clone , Green Goblin 1 , etc . ) . Yeah , it does cheapen the character's death . Fox did not die in the original Wanted comics , and they did not plan to kill her in the movie version either , but Angelina Jolie insisted on killing her character . " When I'm good , I'm GOOD . When I'm bad , I'm BETTER . " | 46 |
After a reasonably well executed pre-credits sequence , set during the Cuban missile crisis , in which a Russian submarine carrying a toxic cargo is torpedoed by the US , Octopus takes a steep nose dive into the deep waters of ridiculousness from which it never surfaces . Jay Harrington plays Roy Turner , an inexperienced CIA agent sent on a mission to escort dangerous international terrorist Casper ( Ravil Isyanov ) to America via nuclear powered submarine . Of course , the trip doesn't exactly go as planned : Casper frequently slips from his bonds , hoping to somehow escape the sub and rendezvous with his evil pals ( who have infiltrated the staff of a nearby ocean liner ) ; and a massive tentacled sea monster , the result of the toxic spill 32 years earlier , seems intent on making a meal out of the sub's crew ! From the moment crazy killer Casper ( unconvincingly dressed as an old woman selling pastries ) carries out his daring attack on an embassy that has a ' come-and-go-as-you-like ' approach to security , this daft film becomes the epitome of clichéd B-movie garbage , offering a raft of stereotypical characters , endless predictable action , and totally nonsensical plot development which will have most sane viewers reaching for the off switch , but which should prove to be reasonably enjoyable fare for fans of low-budget , bottom-shelf , STV dreck ! Bolstered by brilliantly unrestrained performances from a dedicated cast seemingly unfazed by the sheer awfulness of the script , and digital special effects scraped from the very bottom of the barrel , Octopus manages to entertain by being unbelievably dumb : before the inevitable climactic showdown between Roy and the sea creature , viewers are treated to several unconvincing punch-ups , an outstanding ( ly bad ) display of emotional range from Ricco Ross as brave second-in-command Brickman , sexy Caroline Lowery as a feisty female oceanographer ( who looks fab in her scanties ! ) , and the unforgettable sight of a giant octopus tentacle piercing the bad guy and pulling his helicopter into the sea ! | 5 |
I'd never heard of this movie when it came out , or in the years right after , but I think I did see it , or part of it , late one Friday night in 1993 on the USA Up All Night show hosted by Rhonda Shear . I watched that every Friday for a few months that year , though it was mainly because of Rhonda Shear ( her looks , and what she did during the commercial breaks ) , the movies were just allright . But I came on here because I saw this movie was released on Friday , August 22 , 1986 , which was the day I first went off to college to begin it . I had no desire to see it myself , until I read that it had beautiful teen girls nude . Now I think I may watch it just for that reason , on DVD . And this will be visible there , it of course wasn't on this USA program . I'm too old for teenage girls now ( at 38 ) , though they would probably be around the same age now as well , and some in this movie may have began college on or around August 22 , 1986 just as I did . It probably is disturbing , and though going to this college , and this day , was not a really good experience for me , I'm sure it was no where near as bad as what Jenny and some of the other girls at the school in this movie had to go through . But the 20th anniversary of its release in theaters is Tuesday . " I happen to be a vegetarian " . Lex , from Jurrasic Park | 62 |

None of those Red Army rapists are " heroes . " None of them should be honored . If there is a hell , every single on of them is burning in it right now . The Russian Army apparently trained men to become these sexual predators , and judging by how much Russian life sucks now they really reaped what they sow . To explain gang rape on an epidemic scale as " their humanity " is disgusting . If that's their humanity , they don't deserve it and should be shot like dogs . Anton Chigurh is dead and Spider-Man 3 is superior in every way to Funny Games . | 65 |

Did you ever notice there is no mention of Christianity ? But there is plenty of Indian religion . I recall one episode that featured Native Americans , and none of them were in Starfleet . It's really debatable how much of a " religion " their spirituality is anyway , since it doesn't appear to feature a Supreme Being . In any case , I can see that what's bothering you is that you didn't see a Christian character . SO THE BLEEP WHAT ? What's with people like you , sitting around keeping score of all the media references to your religion versus others ? Are you so insecure BEING IN THE MAJORITY that you seek validation from a television show ? You need a writer on Star Trek to go out of their way to say something nice about your religion ? This is all part of this ridiculous persecution complex that I see more and more American Christians displaying . GET OVER YOURSELVES . Your savior was persecuted , THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE BEING PERSECUTED . Complaining about how hard it is to be Christian in America is like able-bodied people complaining about the disabled getting the best parking spaces . It's ridiculous . Enough already . | 92 |
I loved THE BOURNE IDENTITY and think it's one of the top 10 films of the 2000s . THE BOURNE SUPREMACY : not so much . I thought SUPREMACY was too herky jerky with all that fancy camera stuff and a rather boring story and dull villains , while IDENTITY kept it simple with a fresh , exciting chase story , an engaging hero and well-staged action sequences . Thankfully , THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM returns to that form . It still has some of that fancy camera stuff like in SUPREMACY , but in ULTIMATUM , it works to much better effect . Seems like in SUPREMACY , the camera stuff was just done for show , while in ULTIMATUM , it helps drive the story along . And what a convoluted story it is ! Our hero Jason Bourne ( Matt Damon in another solid outing ) is trying to find out ' where it all began ' . He promises Marie's brother ( don't remember him from either of the first 2 films ) that he will get to the root of all this international intrigue . Bourne stumbles across an article by a British reporter Simon Ross ( well played by Paddy Considine of HOT FUZZ fame ) who , through an unknown source , outs Bourne and the CIA's covert Treadwell and Blackbriar operations . Bourne realizes that if he contacts Ross and find his source , who obviously is an CIA insider , he can find the men that recruited him to be a relentless assassin . The Bourne-Ross convergence contains one of the best sustained action sequences I've ever seen in any film , where Bourne constantly eludes his CIA chasers through the London streets , subways , and shops and after putting a prepaid phone in Ross ' bag , talks Ross through the chase . Really exciting opening act ! The head CIA guy after Bourne here is New York CIA anti-terrorist chief Noah Vosen ( played by the great David Strathairn in a slick , lethal performance ) . In to assist Vosen is of course SUPREMACY's Pamela Landy ( the classy Joan Allen in an underused , thankless role ) . Allen makes the most of what she has to work with here , which isn't much . Both Bourne and Vosen simultaneously figure out the leak and have separate agendas for wanting to find him : Bourne to find his original tormentors that turned him into a killer and Vosen to eliminate the leak and thus any trace of the torture tactics used by Treadwell / Blackbriar . Bourne's femme fatale here is Nicky from the previous 2 films ( Julia Stiles in a terrific performance ) . There is a real unspoken attraction between Jason and Nicky that is very stimulating ! Some of the exciting set pieces in this one include the aforementioned labyrithine London chase scene , a fantastic mano-y-mano fight between Bourne and Desh ( a CIA strongman tasked to finish off Bourne and Nicky , who is supporting Jason's quest for the truth ) in Tangier , and a fast-paced car chase in the streets of NY . In addition , Scott Glenn has a small , yet effectively commanding role as CIA director Ezra Kramer . The film moves at a breakneck pace , but never gets stale or tiring to watch . You stay entertained throughout . There is a nifty surprise rather late in the film that will shock the first-time viewer ! ULTIMATUM is a fine 3rd act to the Bourne series and definitely leaves you wanting more . Seems like where they missed with SUPREMACY , they more than made up for with ULTIMATUM ! | 22 |
Keep in mind the lavish marriage culture of Punjab . The irl's parents first spend on her education , and will not have sizable property , but groom's side will demand that 15-20 lakhs be spent on lavish marriages . Yes , you may not see it that serious , but not letting wear anything a girl wants is ' emotional ' harassment , after she has got education .

I first saw " The Blob " on TV back in the ' 70s when I was about eight years old and it scared the unholy crap out of me . ( I was a nervous type kid . ) Seeing it again as a grown man , I smiled a lot at how relatively mild-mannered it is by today's standards , but " The Blob " is still a ton of fun . A young Steve McQueen ( billed as " Steven " here for the first and only time in his career ) plays the plucky , square-jawed teenage hero ( despite the fact that he was 27 when he made the movie ) who battles valiantly against the usual group of unbelieving grown-ups ( who's gonna take the word of a teen-age hot rodder ? ) in order to save his small town from a man-eating alien hunk of goo that crashes to earth inside a meteor and begins absorbing townspeople at an alarming rate overnight . The title creature may resemble a wiggling , chewed up hunk of bubble gum , but you gotta love those attack scenes shot from The Blob's point of view ( did they use a " Blob Cam ? " ) and that oh-so-catchy theme song ( " It creeps ! It leaps ! It slides , it glides across the floor ! " ) . Admittedly " The Blob " suffers a bit from a few slow patches in the middle of the film where Steve and his fellow teens do more talking than anything else , but once the third act begins and the creature oozes into a sold-out midnight horror movie show at the local theatre , causing mass panic , it's golden . " The Blob " is an iconic piece of 50s sci-fi / horror , no doubt , and it's just as much fun to watch today as it must've been " back in the day . " " The Blob " was remade in the late 80s by " Nightmare on Elm Street 3 : The Dream Warriors " director Chuck Russell ( I like that version as well ) , and now I'm hearing that Rob Zombie's next film project will be yet another new version of " The Blob . " What puzzles and worries me is that Zombie says the first thing he's going to change in his remake is that there won't be " a big , red Blobby thing . I hate that . " Now , how the hell are you going to make a " Blob " movie WITHOUT a big , red Blobby thing ? Blasphemy ! ! ! | 72 |
Here is the essens of the conflict . During the time of the USSR the russians moved ethnic russians to their satelite republics like Georgia . These people lived high and mighty while the Moscow was in control , cause this was the russian version of lebensraum . Then the USSR ended in 1991 , then the new nations couldn't kick these people eventhough they weren't citizens of the new countries and weren't russians citizens eithe . Naturally these people became subject of hatred , cause they didn't want to contribute to the new nations , didn't want to learn to the language , only spoke russian ! So the Russia must accept responsebility for these people , and allow them to move to Russia ! Whats next then ? A russian attack on the Western Ukraine ? There is hudge group of ethnic russians there too ? Or what about Baltic countries ? There etnic russians there , and they are causing trouble ! / Fred I'm a Republican , and thats my opinion on this matter . | 45 |

I never saw this movie , though do remember when it came on TV in April , 1989 , and did see a few advertisements for it earlier that week . And I knew exactly what it was about , because I remembered the Iran-Contra affair , and then Oliver North and his hearings and trial , from November , 1986 until 1989 . But the first time I heard anything about it at all was on Saturday night , November 8 , 1986 . I was 18 , in first semester of my freshman year of college , and had come home that weekend , which was Parents ' Weekend . I was watching the ABC Nightly News in our den , and saw a report on it . This was 20 years ago Wednesday ( I meant to write this then , but did not get to ) . But this was then in the news alot after that , and in January , 1987 after returning to college for second semester , my English 102 class did a term paper , and could choose any topic for it , and I choose the American Presidency for mine . And I used this affair as a basis in it . I then remember Oliver North became the central figure in it , and remember well his testimony before Congress in July , 1987 , which was televised live by all three major networks and went on over a week ( I watched a little of it ) . I then remember his trial in 1989 , and being found guilty . But I also remember in November and December , 1988 thinking this was the first really negative thing of Ronald Reagan's presidency . It was also probably the most famous thing of his entire presidency , and definitely the thing that got the most attention from June 6-11 , 2004 , in the week after he died .

Andrei Rublev certainly has an ending reminiscent of Sansho the Bailiff , surprisingly Tarkovsky encompasses a lot of the themes Mizoguchi touches on in many of his pictures . The parallel between the two aforementioned films are obvious , but overall I think that both directors ' humanism bear a striking resemblance to one another . Last film seen : The Virgin Spring 9 / 10 | 26 |
I think at the time the premise seemed ludicrous . It still in general probably is that the ENTIRE academy would go along with it , but it's not so ridiculous anymore that something on a smaller scale could happen ( maybe a few rebellious cadets ) . The acting is actually pretty good given the convoluted nature of the film itself and the ending is very powerful . I actually think the film speaks a lot about military life and the fine line between patriotism and lunacy . If you accept the premise , it's a darn good movie ! | 22 |

I imported TAKESHIS a long time ago and had to specially buy a player that had the ability for its region to be unlocked to play it . All in all , it cost about $50 for me to watch it , and it was brilliant . I saw GLORY TO THE FILMMAKER online . I had no idea if this was available on DVD or not . Of course I have the ability to see these films , I just don't understand why they have not been released in America . And no I do not reccomend people spend $30-50 to important one 90 minute film . I'm just impatiently waiting for the release here I suppose . | 16 |

Fata Morgana is , by far , one of the weirdest and most perplexing art films I have ever seen . I hesitate to call it a documentary because , while is does have elements of documentation of it's images , the images themselves are so unusual , so hallucinogenic , so unclear , that I wonder whether it was really worth telling this story just so that these images can exist . The film basically is the tale of the earth and the creation of the earth shot from the perspective of an outsider , be it alien or something otherwise indescribable , all taking place in the Sahara desert . The title of the picture relates to the illusion or reflection of images , both real and hallucinated , that people in the desert often witness . These are also known as mirages . The film opens with a plane landing followed by the plane landing again and then again and again and again and again and again and again . With each plane landing shot , the actual architecture of both the location it is landing at and the plane itself begin to slowly dissolve into one another and grow less and less real and more and more reflective imagery . The imagery in this film only grows more intense and more unusual as the picture continues . The narration of the film tells of the creation of the universe as alarming sexual images of sand and landscape move past the camera . The shots go further and further into the desert and Herzog films whatever he sees and finds . The strangest reflections of the world are on display in the distance while Herzog meets some of the most pure and photogenic collections of outsiders that you are ever likely to see . When the Leonard Cohen soundtrack kicks in , you can be sure that you are in the world of a mad man who is in love with the universe . I cannot say too much more about this film without ruining anything , but I will say that it is a sobering experience and there's really nothing like it . I love seeing films that are just in classes of their own . This film certainly is a good example of how Herzog loves to intermingle narrative storytelling and documentary film-making into an interchangeable form . Fata Morgana unfortunately does overstay it's welcome just a bit , but by the time it nears it's end the images will most likely be burned into your mind forever . Definitely a must-see for those who are obsessed with the nature and the origin of the universe . | 17 |

dark - you are correct . It has extremely high unemployment at the minute . But in American films and maybe even a few British films , Spain isn't portrayed like that . It's a beautiful European country with equally beautiful people who live great lives filled with drinking wine and eating exotic food in old cafes and taking a siesta at 4 . Even Spanish films I've seen don't portray poor people , even when they're mean't to be struggling . They still live in nice apartments . You also have to remember Spain is a vacation spot especially for the British and many ex-pats move there so it does have this fantasy quality to them , hence it not being portrayed other than paradise . Oddly enough you mentioned being Portuguese and I was just thinking the other day that it's odd ( being an International Studies major ) that I know nothing about Portugal . It's never mentioned and even historically Spain , France , Germany , Italy and England dominate . The only way Portuguese is ever mentioned is if someone from Brazil is speaking it ( and that's not even Portugal Portuguese ) . I wonder why that is ? As for the OP's assertion . Have you seen Allen films before ? All of his characters have disposable incomes and live in beautiful NYC apartments that most couldn't afford with the job they have . It's always been like that . That's the world Allen lives in and that's how it's portrayed on film . If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise , we don't believe in it at all | 11 |
I think what you wrote here is a little rough , but I do think you have a very good point . But I also think ShizaMannelli has a good point as well . She , and their son , had been somewhat neglected by Ted Kramer all those years , and I do know he was working at a demanding , time consuming marketing job in Manhatten . But he still could have been a more attentive , loving father and husband ( plenty of even busier career poeple are ) . And I do fully understand why Joanne Kramer did want to change her life then , and get out and get a career / name for herself . However , I do think she was wrong to just leave as she did ( remember , that was putting their son at risk more than anything ) . And that caused Ted to lose his job ( though I think that man was very wrong to fire him for that , as he could have been more understanding as well to a great , longtime employee that suddenly had to deal with something so huge on him ! ) . But I think she and Ted could have gone over this , and she explained she did need to do this , but still wanted to be there as the boy's mother , and they could have hired a babysitter or the like . And they could have shared custody of him while at their different jobs . and after she did establish herself ( as happened in this movie ) , they could have continued to share custody . So I think Ted was wrong to neglect them as he did , Joanne was wrong to just dump their son in his lap and leave as she did for months , and then suddenly reappear and want him completely again . I do understand fully why she wanted to do what she did , I just think she could have done it differently , and everything would have been alot better for all three of them .

FULL DISCLOSURE : I freely admit that the only reason I wanted to see Women in Trouble was because of the incredible number of blindingly hot women that are in it . Carla Gugino , Marley Shelton , Emmanuelle Chriqui , Adrianne Palicki , Cameron Richardson . . . do I really need to continue ? I had little interest in whatever the movie was supposed to be " about " , per se , I just wanted to see the hotties . And they did deliver the goods . But this is a review , so I guess I have to talk about something more than how hot the women were . This is one of those kinds of ensemble movies where the numerous characters are directly and indirectly connected . It's certainly not up to the quality of a movie like Magnolia , not even close . The comedic elements work sometimes , and sometimes they don't . The dramatic portions are the same way . I guess the best way to describe Women in Trouble , is three Lifetime movies mixed with a rather tame Cinemax skin flick and a really disturbing bestiality story . If that weird mix sounds great to you , then you'll love this . Everyone else should just tune out the talky bits and ogle these gorgeous women . | 29 |

This wilfully bizarre adaptation of Borges short story is typical Cox . His strong visual sense is , as usual , undone by the appalling half baked acting of most of the cast . The film is definitely in the surreal tradition of Bunuel's Mexican period , and looks at times like a poor man's take on Lars Von Trier's Elements of Crime . Cox's apparent preference for single takes , jump cuts , and ambient sound recording all work against the film's effectiveness . Worth a look but ultimately disappointing . | 28 |
I'm sure Straw Dogs was originally rated X , given some pretty agressive sex montages throughout , if the violence doesn't more than make up for the rating already . The rating must've been revisited recently , I guess . Same with The Devils . . . . | 76 |

I was slightly disappointed with An Education . Not because it's not a fine movie , because it is . The reason that I was a little underwhelmed , is that my expectations for the movie were sky-high . After all the attention and award nominations that it has received , in my mind it had become the second coming of all the great movies I have encountered in the past few years . It's not , and it doesn't try to be . What it attempts is to be a coming-of - age story , set in London in the late 50's . It succeeds at that aim , admirably . An Education has a simple story , and it doesn't take long to figure out where it's probably heading . There aren't any huge flaws to point out , and there aren't any huge reasons to go out of my way to recommend it . If the brief plot description interests you , see it . You'll be treated to some great acting and well-executed variation on a common story . Is it movie of the year material ? No . But it's above-average , all the same . | 29 |

I'm going to a few of the boards for some of the actresses that I think are attractive , to see which word people think is the best description for her particular looks . So if you wouldn't mind , choose whichever of these words ( cute , pretty , hot , beautiful , gorgeous , sexy , lovely , striking , or stunning ) that you personally would use to describe Jennifer's looks . Feel free to elaborate on why you think that word applies best , if you wish . If you don't think she's attractive at all , you can sit this one out . Thanks .

when you compare her to the resume's of Mary Kate Olsen Ashley Olsen Haley Joel Osment Dakota Fanning Eljah Wood Daniel Radcliffe Macaulay Culkin Rory Culkin ( for that matter ) Frankie Muniz no . . . . also , everything she has been in , she has acted pretty badly in all of them . I don't see her making any big moves in Hollywood . Sorry . . . also , all of the above have had some huge movie deals . . . I would consider Haley Joel Osment my fav cuz he is just plain amazing in The Sixth Sense . | 23 |
Where a lot of romance movies fail , this one delivers . I think the reason why this is so is because of two simple things : 1 . The character chemistry interaction usually seems superfluous and fake . 2 . The reason why THAT is so is because we don't experience growth between those characters through interaction . Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are perfect candidates for this movie . McAdams is not only beautiful , she doesn't act like an airhead like you find in most romantic movies ( think Disney channel sappy romance ) . As childish as she acts in the beginning , we realize she's young and wants to experience all the things teenagers do : fun , excitement , and love . As a guy , I didn't roll my eyes when I saw her whine or crushed . I felt for her . I sympathized with her . I don't see her portrayal of Ally as some throwaway stock character , I see the Ally character as a human being . A fictional character literally brought to life . Once you get that sense of authenticity , it's not game over . It's one base covered . Ryan Gosling's character , Noah , is the second base covered . He's a charming , wild , crazy , yet likable person . For anyone who's been in love or at least knows what it feels like , we can understand why he does the things he does with McAdam's character in the beginning . It's a little stalker-ish , admittedly , but for a movie it works . Like any romance novel , he's a rugged good looking character whose really in love . But like McAdams , Gosling's physical and verbal expressions feel authentic . He's not the typical guy who hates the girl at first then falls in love , nor is he just there for a few minutes and then suddenly there for the traditional happy ending . On that note , he's not cheesy . I think that's important to note . It's real easy to be cheesy in these type of movies , but it doesn't happen here . The dialogue is another factor to this . It hits the appropriate notes and doesn't add any to make it seem artificially mushy to get cheap " aws " and earn rolled eyes . It talks about the most important thing in life and all the conflicts that try to separate it , but fail . These conflicts are from Ally's mother who doesn't want her to see Noah , Ally's later fiancée , and even Ally herself . Luckily , all these are explained in the movie . They are not throw away plot devices and that was a major plus for me . My personal favorite scenes were the ones dealing with the letters , especially when Ally gets then back from her mother , and the older Ally finally remembering who Noah is . If I had to gripe , I would liked to have seen Ally's desire to paint emphasized a bit more ( plus " sneak " into the story better ) and see the young couple have a final sendoff for the viewers before we see the remainder of their lives in photos . We are taken to small destinations like the fair , the old house that gets rebuilt , and a very brief walk through World War II . But the destinations are really only background and filler , only enhancing the mood when the story feels appropriate . The scene where the 20 something year old Noah and Ally rekindle old ties in the lake then fall in love all over again when it starts to rain is a perfect example of that . All in all , what carries the story on its shoulders is the side story : the older Noah and Ally . Halfway through the movie , we finally realize its the older versions of the characters in the main story . Noah tells Ally , apparently every day , the story of how they met and came to live with each other even in an elderly home . Unfortunately , Ally suffers from dementia and doesn't remember him . She forgets but we remember . That's the most powerful element in the story . By the end , we don't feel like we just wasted our time and money . At least I didn't anyway . In my opinion , this is what movies like Titanic should've been like . We see two different stories about how true love can come to anyone , no matter the circumstances . A lot of it centers on Ally and for good reason , old Noah is telling it to her to get her to remember . Both stories go happily hand in hand with each other . The authentic portrayals , appropriate direction , and wonderful writing made a perfect romance film that both guys and girls can enjoy ( that is if the guys can tolerate a love story ) . | 63 |

Also , I think it's a nice way of foreshadowing , because Knightley will be the only one ( apart from Emma herself ) who knows the whole story , won't he ? A very good point . Knightley is the authoritative voice of Highbury . I couldn't help laughing out loud when one of the posters in that thread said " Jane Austen would never do anything like this " referring to the intro when all the novels do exactly that and most of what you hear , in the very few minutes before the credits roll , is hooked straight from the book . I think the trend for starting without an intro is quite recent . P95 and P & P95 both dramatised the essential content from the intro but voiceovers were pretty much the norm before . Jane Eyre 44 starts with rostrum camera shots of pages of the book ! | 19 |

I've seen some of John Quade's work over the past three decades , and he was a real cool actor . Whether it was a Clint Eastwood movie , an episode of Buck Rogers , The Ghost of Flight 401 , or various other productions , he truly made whatever role he played his very own . Right now , I'm watching Papillon on DVD and I'm just learning about his death . Talk about irony or coincidence . My condolences to Mr . Quade's family for their loss . John will be truly missed . God Bless you , John . We all love you and we will miss you . Rest In Peace . | 51 |

Good points . Everyone cheerleading for what Morgan Freeman did are just being typical delusional couch-seat vigilantes . And yeah the Afflecks and Matt Damon , all middle-class boys from Cambridge , need to get over this hard-on they have for playing hardened guys from Southie , Dorchester , Charlestown . The only major Hollywood actor that can really pull it off is Mark Wahlberg because he actually was a poor Dorchester lad . | 15 |
