Question: Is there any eye catching sequence in the movie?

This movie, (considered a comedy but is also a beautiful love story)based on Truman Capote's classic novel, not only has beautiful color, and pretty scenes around New York, but depicts a beautiful, warm story about a confused, young girl (who lives for nothing but donning herself with a black party gown and a large, black, wide brim fashionable hat and going window-shopping at Tiffany's with her "breakfast" of a small cup of coffee and two doughnuts) who also cannot face reality and thus lives in her own private world which to her is filled with nothing but happiness. She is loved by struggling writer Paul Varjak; he not only falls in love with her, but he loves her and becomes strongly concerned about her, so much so that he breaks off his indiscreet affair with a married lady, an interior decorator who, in one sense, uses him. (The versatile Patricia Neal plays the part of the interior designer perfectly.)This is quite a successful directing feat for Blake Edwards, and Henry Mancini provides a beautiful music score for this classic movie.Audrey Hepburn portrays so well the beautiful, mixed-up Holly Golightly, originally a girl who has run away from a marriage with a doctor from Tulip, Texas;Buddy Ebsen does a good turn in this minor role as the doctor. She encounters Paul Varjak (played so well by George Peppard) and their romance shortly begins. Without ever asking questions about her, he sees perfectly that she is in actuality not happy and, again, mixed-up. Because Holly senses love from him, she does believe that he strongly cares about her and genuinely wants to help her. The ending is sad yet very happy. I have never become jaded from watching this wonderful movie.

Question: How faithful is this film to the bible version?

I love all the books.  I have read them to my children several times.  The movie is very close to the book.  What helps to accept the slight changes made is the control Donald Grishem had over the project.  We bought the DVD with the extra bonus material on it - it is well worth it.  My boys enjoy watching the bonus material as much as the movie.  It helps explain why the movie, the director made a few slight changes from the book.  These slight changes only enhanses the story.  I am amazed at the pettiness of some viewers who are upset over the slightest detail not being exactly like the book. Regardless of the changes, it is a beautiful movie that captures the essence of CS Lewis' masterpiece.  The musical score is perfect, moving, thrilling!  I am a musician and I am picky about film scores.  I'm not very happy about the music for the credits, though.  It does seem a little out of place.  But that's all.  As for Aslan's voice, Aslan is three dementional, therefore it is important that he not sound like Darth Vader.  Liam does a tender, commanding, and emotional portrayal of Aslan. The children are very good, spontaneous, refreshing.  Peter holds the four children together as we see him grow from his insecurities into a king.  There have been some complaints that Susan is too mean.  Susan is not mean, however the actress needed to portray her such that it is no surprise in the later books when Susan chooses not to believe in such childish things, therefore, never going back to Narnia.  It works well in the movie.  The spirit of Narnia lives in this movie and in all the characters, actors, and crew who worked hard to make it live.  One must feel somewhat sorry for others so wrapped up in the letter of Narnia that they do not catch or feel the spirit of Narnia.  I think Aslan would just shake his head in wonderment.  As far as CS Lewis - I feel strongly he would approve of his masterpiece and would be thrilled with the slight changes, especially the end.  CS Lewis believed in the spirit of Narnia and had no ego regarding his work.To appreciate the White Witch you need to read Magician's Nephew.  The director portrayed her perfectly.  On the bonus material of the DVD, the director mentioned that he avoided a typical female villan such as wicked witch, evil queen.  Therefore he went for someone unexpected.  She was internally demonic and quietly seething which made her role more evil instead of playing her over the top.  The battle scene is her forte.  She is Jadis - tall, strong and twisted.As far as Disney - Disney marketed the film, but they were restricted from offering advice or making changes to the production.  This is marketed through Disney, but it is not a Disney film.  Big difference.  When others state it is a typical Disney film, they are mistaken.  Some complain that the characters are stock with the typical Disney villan and happy Disney ending.  Good grief, read the book!Now, for those true Narnia lovers - Focus On The Family has all of the Narnia stories recreated in a radio theater format with  actors, orchestrations and sound effects.  We have all of them and my boys, 16 and 12, still listen to them weekly.  It is a wonderful way to get to know the other books as well.Life's too short to miss out on Narnia.  Get the DVD and enjoy the story and the best bonus material I have seen yet.

Question: How fun  is the story?

O.K. Now I know I'm gonna get alot of stick for writing this review, but to be honest, that's the reason that I'm writing it.When this film was first released I was on holiday abroad. Once returned from the sunny skys of Budapest and dropped straight in to the miserable cold weather of London, the thought of this film was all I had to make me feel glad about being home.To be honest, I just missed it. The movie was no longer main stream when I got back but I was determined to see it in the cinema because of all the great things that I'd heard about it.Eventually it came by to a cinema near me that always gets films a few months after thier scheduled release.So that was it. The hype had hit me full on, and I couldn't wait. I sat in that row during the trailers expecting to see the next best thing since Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.Well, that's not what I got. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and had thier not been so much hype around it I probobaly would have enjoyed it alot more, but I really can't see what all the fuss is about.Yes, Jhonny Depp as always is excellent. The problem though is that he is really the only good thing about it.Scratch that.He is the only good thing about it. Every other character is pretty boring and the story was lacking in every respect.This film is about Pirates. It should have been an adventure.Example, they could have crashed on to a deserted island (Which they did) and found some underground tunnels with booby traps and cool interesting stuff like that. It should have had more imagination and tension. Kind of like The Goonies.Anywy, that's my opinion. I was dissapointed, but I blame myself really. There's really no point getting worked up over a Bruckheimer film.Especially a Disney one.

Question: What was the scene about?

When the previews first came out, I was utterly disgusted by the idea of the last samurai. Let me say, the previews do no justice. Nor does the heart-throb image of Tom Cruise.Yes, Cruise's name sold the movie. However, his acting also carried it. Of all the films I have watched this year (and I have seen most of the Oscar contenders), this was the first time I actually thought to myself "Wow. This guy is good." Tom Cruise is amazing in this film, as are the rest of the cast, most outstandingly Watanabe (Katsumoto) and Koyuki (Taka).To summarize: Cruise plays a post-civil war soldier who is hired by the Japenese Emperor as a battle advisor against the rebellions of the last remaining samurai. However, the American is taken hostage by the Samurai during a battle and soon befriends the Samurai village. The Last Samurai is a story of love, spirit, and, most of all, a sacred honor which guides us all.The battle scenes, while gruesome (if you're squeamish, you might avoid this one), were amazing. The cinematography is wonderful. However, the actors, the themes, and the BREATHTAKING score carry the film to a superb quality deserving of the highest recognition.Deep down, it is a feel good movie. Despite the death, the sadness, the lost hope, one ultimately cannot help but smile for the beauty of mankind.Never judge a book by its cover.

Question: How do you like the movie?

It's kind of hard to put down a movie like this because it is such a sincere effort, and because the historical events depicted are so rarely treated in film for contemporary audiences and are so intrinsically intersting. It is, sad, though, to see so many chances missed in a single film.Stonewall Jackson (the overriding subject of this film) is probably the most interesting American Military leader in our nation's history and deserves a film at least of the caliber of Patton; yet in this film so little is really revealed about him, other than that he is devoutly religious, loves his wife, enjoys the company of children and wins a lot of battles. More focus, better casting, and less attempted breadth of scope would have produced a more biographical film to be much more valued and enduring. The strangest irony of all is that the perfect actor to portray Jackson in such a biograpy was already in the film, cast as Lee. (The fact that Duval was so disappointing as Lee only adds to this irony.)The greatest disappointment, however, was the portrayal of the battle of Chancellorsville, which was so hurried that it only occupied about 20 minutes of film time. Chancellorsville was in fact the most significant, greatest and longest day of Jackson's life (probably also the greatest single day for the confederacy) perfect for him in every way, including, perhaps, the fact that it also happened to be his last day in charge of his army. Such an end for him, mortally wounded by his own soldiers at the close of his greatest victory, seems almost too perfect not to be scripted. So many wonderful details about this battle were missed, such as the fact that the union soldiers, who were cooking breakfast, were first surprised by deer and other animals bounding from the forest in the path of so many confederates moving rapidly toward them through the woods. To a film which paid so much attention to historical detail, this sort of detail would have added much to the proper mood and the almost mystical qualities of the battle.The worst thing about this film, however, besides the cameo appearance by Ted, which was certainly the low point, was the really sappy music, which intruded frequently on dialog, unnecessarily distracting and annoying any earnest viewer who might still be trying to concentrate on the actors.The film is not entirely bad, however, and does provide at least a cursory view of the early stages of the civil war, and does provide well intended attention to historical detail, setting and costume.

Question: How do you like the quality?

"In Space No One Can Hear You Scream""There Are Some Places In The Universe You Don't Go Alone...""The B*tch Is Back""Witness The Resurrection"- In "Alien" the trick is to keep your eyes open & your mouth shut, in "Aliens" the buddy system does work..., to a certain degree, no matter who comes back Elton John does not appear in "Alien 3", & it's more resusitation than a return for "Alien: Resurrection"20th Century Fox re-releases the ultimate set to one of its more lucrative film series - "Alien".This 9 disc set is a monsterous edition featuring 2 discs per each of the four films & a 9th disc with previous features from both the "Alien" & "Aliens" special laserdisc editions."Alien" - disc one has both the original '79 release & the special edition release from 2003.

Released 20 years ago today (7/18/1986), "Aliens" is one of the best sequels in film history right up there with "The Empire Strikes Back", "Terminator 2", & "The Godfather Part II". It's also, arguably the best film James Cameron has done outside of his "Terminator" films (yes, that includes "Titanic").Disc 3 has the 1986 theatrical release & the 1991 special edition.

Question: How is the movie?

I never was a religious person. But nevertheless I have to say that "The Passion of the Christ" is something. I can't recall when a movie had such an impact on me. It is simply astounding. Much because of not used nowdays latin and arameic and much more thanks to brilliant and superior (I could give countless epithets) actors, you don't have a feeling of watching a film. You don't have a feeling of watching a documentary. You have a definite feeling that you ARE there. And that happens (to me at least) not often. One of the main effects of the film is that the story-line is well known. You know from the very beginning how it is going to end. So it's interesting and almost unbearable to see how wrong choices were made and how after a chain of decisions dictated either by ignorance or by cowardice or by both the most innocent person ever on our planet was exposed to terrible torture and suffering and then put to death. We see how Judas repents after his betrayal but there's no way back. We see how Pontius Pilate (shown here as a good-natured man) hesitates but then sends Jesus to Golgotha (he might also repent but it's too late). We see all these people and we pity them for they really knew not what they were doing. During the whole film I had this desire to tell them: wake up, don't make this mistake, don't you see you are doing evil? I think all the time - what if everything had happened the other way? But apparently there were no other way because Jesus had predicted everything that'd happen.The movie is really shocking and appalling, and not because of violence and gore. It's the ultimate tragedy of mankind and it is just intolerable to watch it."The Passion of the Christ" has one of the best casts I've ever seen in cinema. Jim Caviezel really effuses light, guess he was the perfect candidate for this part. Maia Morgenstern (Maria), Hristo Shopov (Pontius Pilate) and especially Rosalinda Celentano (Satan) look like they were born for these roles. I'm utterly impressed and dazed.If you easily get appalled by screen violence I can say this: try to withstand these two hours, it's the way to feel at least the relish of sufferings Jesus had to withstand.Whether you are a religious person or not watch this film, it's thought-provoking and serious-minded.And as of an alleged antisemitism of which the film was accused many times... well, I haven't noticed any. Don't believe all that fuss.

Question: Does this movie have an interesting story?

Don't get me wrong.  This show is very, very entertaining.  I was hooked after watching the first 3 shows and I watched it very faithfully to the end.  The story is very suspenseful, thrilling and full of action.  You will be on the edge of your seat the whole way through.The main problem that I have with this is that there are NO answers to any of the main puzzles in the first season.  There is a lot of background and the characters are developed with their back stories.  But, even as the characters' backgrounds are developed, we only find more puzzles with very few answers.  (I would say that there are no answers to any of the significant questions.)  For me, there are too many questions after 25 episodes.  I feel that my faithfulness in watching the show to the end paid off to nothing.Granted, as I stated in the beginning, I was entertained.  But, how long is it going to go on until we get some answers?  Season 2?  Season 3?

Question: What do you think about the movie?

I enjoyed this movie ... even though Keanu Reeves seems to play the same character in everything he does!  Still, this movie was visually interesting and had some good ol' standard Good vs. Evil stuff going on.  Not as good as other good vs evil movies I have seen but not too shabby.

Question: How did you like the movie?

I've been a Tolkien devotee for nearly 25 years and have needlessly raised my hopes over several attempts at bringing his masterwork to the screen, but Peter Jackson has done justice to what many agree may be the best literary work of the 20th century. This initial dvd offering features two discs -- one for the film itself (as released in theaters) and another for special features. ( A four-dvd edition will be released in November 2002.)The film is a remarkable and faithful adaptation of the first volume of Tolkien's trilogy. Jackson masterfully carries this literary masterpiece into the 21st century with breathtaking sets, gorgeous costumes, sumptuous music, gloriously eye-popping special effects, and a touching attention to detail that evokes history-laden cultures. One does miss Tom Bombadil, and wonder why screenwriters decided to make Frodo ignorant of Bilbo's imminent departure from the Shire for example, but mostly one can understand the cinematic justification for changes that were made and just bathe in this beautiful film -- whether or not you are a devotee of JRR. If you are hesitant to see this film for fear of being disappointed -- race out and get it now. You will NOT be disappointed. From the introductory voiceover to a beautifully realized Hobbiton, the opening is mesmerizing and the film just keeps getting better, in some ways revealing Tolkien's rich and complex world even more clearly than the books. The characters are well-realized and the cast is exquisite. You can tell that the people who worked on this adaptation cared about the books even more than they cared about the bottom dollar, and I hope the awards start rolling in for Jackson, his right-hand man Richard Taylor and their talented cast and crew.The special features include: three documentary features -- "Welcome to Middle Earth" (a publisher's in-store feature, 17 minutes), "Quest for the Ring" (originally aired on Fox TV, 22 minutes), and "A Passage to Middle Earth" (originally seen on the Sci Fi Channel, 40 minutes); fifteen featurettes about the cultures and locations depicted in the film; two teasers, a trailer and six tv spots; a preview of the extended dvd edition due out November 12, 2002; a preview of Entertainment Arts' video game, "The Two Towers"; an 11-minute behind-the-scenes preview of the film, "The Two Towers"; and an Enya video. There is also a coupon and rebate booklet for such varied items as sword replicas, jewelry, posters, etc."Welcome to Middle Earth" features a charming introduction to Robert Unwyn who, as a boy, originally reviewed The Hobbit for his publisher father and, fortunately for us all, gave the manuscript a thumbs-up with the comment "should appeal to all children between the ages of 5 and 9". Years later, as a publisher himself, he received the manuscript for The Lord of the Rings (originally presented as a single volume) and wrote to his father for advice, telling him that he thought the book was wonderful but would probably lose a thousand pounds; his father replied "IF you believe this to be a work of genius, THEN you may lose the thousand pounds" -- and off they went! This 17-minute feature also shows Tolkien's Oxford hall and home, describes two Houghton-Mifflin companion volumes and is really a wonderful treat for fans. The three features include interviews with Peter Jackson, WETA Workshop's Richard Taylor, artists Alan Lee and John Howe, and actors Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Billy Boyd, Cate Blanchett, Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler and Sean Astin. The preview promises that "The Two Towers" will be amazing and one gets the impression that this team, as the fellowship members go their separate ways and new characters are introduced (including Gollum!), truly understand the story they are bringing to life, and will dazzle us all again soon.There is something to be said for waiting until November and getting the four-dvd special edition, which will include 30 extra minutes of film (particularly in Hobbiton and concerning Gimli's enchantment with Galadriel). But for those of you who cannot wait -- this two-dvd set is highly recommended.

But for those of you who cannot wait -- this two-dvd set <hl> is highly recommended <hl>.

Question: How is the movie?

I was sure that such a thing was impossible---a comedy set during the Holocaust and it would be good. Well, it wasn't good...it was GREAT! This lovely little movie is so charming and so sweet, I don't know how anyone could dislike it. I do realize that the star, Roberto Benigni, sometimes is over the top and tends to annoy some people but that is so far from the truth involving this film. We see his character meet a beautiful woman and his attempts to woo her. When they fall in love, marry and have a child, all seems perfect---until World War II and the beginning of the Holocaust. When he is taken, along with his son, to the concentration camps, it is so touching to see the lengths he goes to, as a father, to hide the truth of their actual situation. Roberto Benigni won an Oscar for his role and the film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Both were well deserved. I highly recommend this film.

Question: How is the cinematography?

Some of the reviews here are so sad.  We live in such a troubled time where the most important thing should be for all people to be accepted totally - whatever their sex, race, age, color or sexual identity.  The hate reviews here really do trouble me for the hate really isn't for the people they are attacking but comes from within the people themselves.  The only people capable of such hate are those who have it within themselves and must look at themselves first.That aside, let me review the brilliant masterpiece that is BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.  The film is beautiful in every way.  Spellbinding cinematography, amazing script and actors giving some of the best performances of their career.  This film for all its grandeur is a simplistic, realistic love story for the ages.  Some have called it the gay GONE WITH THE WIND.  The most important thing here is that none of the characters are stereotypes.  Yes, the relationship is between two men but that is not the purpose of the film.  It is not a gay message film.  It is a love message film.  When two people connect in that special way that enables them to share their hearts, souls and celebrate it through the beauty of sexual expression it is a gift for any two people be they man/woman, woman/woman or man/man.  When this unique transcending true love is actualized it can happen between any two people.  A man who lives his life straight may find it with one other special man.  He may not be what we define as gay.  His love is for this man.  With this man gone he may desire no other man.  True love is such a gift and should never be denied.  And shame on anyone who tries to deny others from having it.Here we see that kind of love happen for Ennis and Jack.  The intimacy they feel takes the two of them by surprise and they develop a bond that only comes with true love.  The film shows us how they both deal with this love and how it affects their lives and other interpersonal relationships.  Heath Ledger and Jeke Gyllenhaal are spellbinding here and attack their characterizations with true honesty no holds barred.  The other stand out is Michelle Williams in a ground breaking, career making performance as Ennis's wife.  Her journey could have been so stereotypical but in her hands it is a splendind self realized exploration a woman must endure.The story here is romantic, tragic, happy sad and a timeless tale.  The blu ray version is astounding.  This film was made for it and it will seem like viewing the picture for the first time.  The 1080p high def picture is astounding.  The scenery pops with immense clarity, colors are crisp and close ups have perfect flesh tones.  The dialogue comes out strong and the beautiful music soars through the speakers as this beautiful tale is told.This film should definitely have won best picture but the fact that it got so many nominations is enough I guess.  I pray for the day when we as a society celebrate love pure and simple with no other issues mattering.  Highly recommend this amazing film.

Question: Does this movie have any scary part?

Jack Torrence (Jack Nicholson) and his wife Wendy (Shelly Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd) stay for the winter at a isolated hotel called "The Overlook Hotel" in which they become caretakers. Danny has a special ability to see the future with his mind, communicate without opening his mouth and know about danger called Shining. This hotel was once build on a ancient Indian burial ground and long ago, a family who did a similar job to Jack's at the Overlook Hotel but the father went insane as he butchered his family to pieces. The hotel is haunted by spirits from the past that have come to haunt the family and make Jack go insane with madness as he falls off the edge to insanity.An epic supernatural horror thriller shocker from Stanley Kubrick is a very loose adaptation of the timeless novel from Stephen King which he said that he disliked this movie version. It's a surreal and nightmarish film about madness and supernatural with great acting by the cast especially Scatman Crothers who plays the lovable chef, the music score by Wendy Carlos is chilling for particular and the whole film is atmospheric. I also like how they use special camera tricks and high tension for the film, sure it almost nowhere near the novel but this is a classic horror movie that will remain a masterpiece.This Blu-Ray gives the movie a perfect look with sharp crystal clear picture and awesome CD-quality sound with interactive extras like audio comemntary, "The Making of the Shining" with optional commentary, theatrical trailer and three new featurettes.

Question: How was the end of the match?

Match #1 John Cena vs. Big Show (c) for The United States Championship: Great way to open the show. These guys don't have the best chemistry, but it was still good! Cena hits Big Show with a massive FU (after a cheap shot with the chain) to win the title!!! 7/10Match #2 World Tag Team Championship Sudden Death feat. Garrison Cade & Mark Jindrak, La Resistance (suck), The Dudleys, and Booker T & RVD (c): Awesome! Had a good pace and was a perfect length time wise. Booker and RVD win after a 5 Star Frog Splash on those stupid Frenchies (Rob Conway sucks!!!). 8/10Match #3 Christian vs. Chris Jericho: I'm glad these guys' feud is over now cuz it was definitely getting old! Not too much to say here...it was a decent mid-card match with Trish ruining the match, costing Y2J the match, and then turning on him and going heel (lame!). 6/10Match #4 The Rock 'N Sock Connection vs. Evolution: Great match, one of the best on the card! The only reason Evolution won is because they felt they needed to keep the Orton/Foley feud going another month. Yeah they had a great match at Backlash but the feud sucked! The Rock is ripped off yet again. Orton was the only bad thing about this match... 9/10Match #5 Sable & Torrie Wilson vs. Miss Jackie & Stacy Keibler (2 of the sexiest women alive!!!) in a Play Boy Evening Gown match: Horrible match! But it was great "eye candy" none the less. Torrie and Sable win, in a total waste of time. 3/10 for the hotties...Match #6 The Cruiserweight Open: This surprised me of how good it ended up being! It sucked that Chavo ended up retaining his title, but a great performance by everyone in the match...except for Funaki who was eliminated after like 7 seconds, haha! 8/10Match #7 Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar with Stone Cold as the special guest referee: This was a disappointment, and that is even an understatement. Goldberg wins after no effort by both men. Atleast the match ended the way it should have...Stone Cold STUNNING both those sell outs right out of the WWE!!! And for that it gets a 5/10.Match #8 WWE Tag Team Championship Sudden Death feat. Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas, The APA (awesome!), The Bashams, and Rikishi & Scotty (horrible) (c): The APA should have won! But Fatty and ... retained their titles unfortunately. Yet like the RAW match, this was also pretty good except for the end. Oh yeah and the Bashams suck really bad! 8/10Match #9 Molly Holly vs. Victoria (c) for The Women's Championship: If Molly looses (which she does, haha) she will have to have her head shaved! Good ending with Molly getting shaved and not a bad match to go with it! 7/10Match #10 Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guererro (c) for The WWE Championship: Great match, but too long! Ofcourse Eddie cheated to win cuz he will never be able to "actually" beat Kurt! Kurt sure showed him at Summerslam 5 months later! 8/10Match #11 Undertaker vs. Kane: This match wasn't really that good. Taker's entrance was "phenominal" though! Taker wins with the tombstone piledriver and improves his Wrestlemania record to 12-0. 5/10Match #12 HBK vs. Chris Benoit vs. HHH (c) for The World Heavyweight Championship: Match of the night, and one of the greatest main events of all time! What a SLOBBERKNOCKER!!! Almost 30 minutes of action with great performances by all 3 men! Benoit is the greatest and proves it for sure in this match by making HHH tap out to the Crossface!!! Benoit WINS!!! 10/10Bottom Line...Wrestlemania XX is Spectacular! Get it!
