Thomas Hardy?  Not even Oliver Hardy! . After two hours of watching it, I still don't know what it was about.  Yes, the scenery is fantastic, but a National Geographic film would have done more.      I applaud the acting of Milla Jovovich, and Nastassja Kinski.  But, the kudos reviewers have given to Peter Mullen would have been better deserved if this were a silent movie.  I hardly heard anything he said and there are no English subtitles offered on the dvd.  As for Wes Bentley, that's acting?  He kept the same expression when he was having sex as when he was having a gun pointed at him, or a co-worker being blown to "Kingdom Come" (that's a pun based on the movie).  He makes Clint Eastwood look like Laurence Olivier.      The film is supposedly based on a Thomas Hardy book, but very loosely based, and the scriptwriters should have at least used Cliff Notes to have learned more about the story and the character development.  They obviously fell asleep after the first couple of chapters and made up the rest.

Sirens . This is one of my favorite movies. It's so seductive and funny and beautiful all at the same time. Now, this is a chick flick. I don't know if most men would agree with me. If you like artsy films, you will probably enjoy this movie.

Pretty bad cheese . The first 5 minutes was OK. After that, this TV-movie started using all the cliches of...a TV-movie. A bad one.    These cliches include:  1. Many references to babies both on and off the plane.  2. Young love as apparently-orphaned young adults ponder their future together.  3. A supposedly very drunk man becoming rowdy and argumentative, yet showing no real signs of being drunk though much was said about the volume of his drinking.  4. An unhappy man dictating some thoughts - then eventually joyfully reconsidering his comments and throwing the tape recorder away.  5. The expanded time frame, where events that would normally take perhaps a couple minutes dragged out for 1/2 hour - in this case the final descent of the plane.  6. Simplistic explanations of some "technical jargon" for the benefit of only the audience.  7. Voice-overs of the thoughts of some of the characters as they are about to land.    There were also some bad lapses of reality. These include:  1. The claim that the airplane had never been test-flown or simulated when out of gas.  2. Having some sports cars whiz by only feet away - on a wet surface no less - from recreational hot-rodders parked on the abandoned runway who are working on cars and milling about.   3. The apparently stupid teen who can't hear his father yelling and waving at him from 30 feet away to get the hell off the runway as the plane is about to land on him.  The worst for last...     4. No one even attempts any crash position during the landing.  5. After landing, the pilot and co-pilot sit there for 10 seconds and contemplate the minor amount of smoke coming up through the console. Note there is no actual fire whatsoever...  6. After all the passengers slide down the rear slide, the co-pilot and other crew slide down, and gather right at the bottom of the slide rather than, say, getting off the runway away from the plane. Only the pilot remains on board. He lingers in the doorway, then decides to go back into the nose again. Why? To fight the nonexistent fire. Egads! He is now overcome by smoke. We wait and wait for him to reappear, but gosh, he doesn't. So the crew must climb back up the ladder to rescue him. Finally everyone gets off the plane. Everyone cheers and congratulates the foolhardy pilot.    The End. Except it's not. There is a freeze-frame on each of the characters with a caption telling what happens to them in the future.    I wanted to give it at least 2 stars but in all honesty I can't.

Bow wow . I can't understand the good reviews given by others to this movie. Frankly, I thought it was a dog.    Not to say that it had no redeeming features - the friendship between the young girl and the lawn man was endearing, if improbable. And the girl herself was a real sweetie, and a good actress - perfect for the part. In fact, the acting all around was admirable.    But the script! Yikes! Not a single character in the whole movie - with the partial exceptions of the two protagonists - had any motivation for anything they did. People acting awkward or mean (in fact, just about everyone in the movie other than said two was mean), or spiteful, or stupid, for no reason at all!     It seems as though somehow, the movie could have been good, but didn't make it. Call it almost watchable.    I came away from Lawn Dogs (Yawn Dogs?) feeling not at all enriched. Puzzled, perhaps, at why anyone would make such a movie. Well, there was that admirable, unlikely friendship. But that was all.    Pass this one by

Faithful to its source; just not very entertaining . Well, at least the movie is faithful to its source in its spirit. Based on a book written on 1902, it's nostalgia of the British empire belongs to that era. The plot deals with a soldier who is expelled from his regiment for refusing to go to fight a colonial war in Sudan because of his impending marriage. Not only his colleagues regard him now as a coward, but also his future wife. He had no choice then but to go to war to prove he is a real man and not a coward. The filmmakers try nothing in terms to bring the material up to date, to our more contemporary (and one hopes, more enlightened) attitudes. There's no post colonial guilt here whatsoever. In some ways, this speaks well of the filmmakers in terms of not trying to tamper with the original material; in another way, it is a bit shocking seeing such jingoism in a contemporary movie. All of this wouldn't matter much if the movie was entertaining; unfortunately, it is only intermittently so

Best Gang-stars . The most complete and humane gangster movie ever packaged. Immersed in news reel style contextual storytelling, with plenty of character driven entertainment.

Pretty stupid and obnoxious . Almost unbelievably bad, except I saw the remake of 'Shaft,' which should have been a forewarning.  This is like a comic book for filmgoers.  No, not a graphic novel adapted to the screen.  More like a comic book for kids, that you'd be embarassed to own at any age.  Doubly offensive is the high quality soul music that is on the soundtrack, a travesty to the nth degree.

You must be joking. . That was what I said quite loudly the night I went to the movies to see this. The story portrayed on film does not even come close to the story in the book. The author,I am certain would have not approved with what has been done with her work. Unfortunately she was already deceased and had no control over it. I know some of you are saying how could that be, her books are still being published. They use her name for the books, but she has not written a book since the sequel to " Heaven", which she didn't even complete herslelf. Other than the performance of Louise Flethcer this movie is a waste of film.

A must-have and must-see . If I had to choose ONE movie to show and teach students the secrets of great actors-directing, it would be this one. The destiny of Peter Bogdanovich is amazing: celebrated as one of the world's best directors in the early 70s, he fell into disgrace because of private problems in the 80s, and rarely got a chance to direct anymore except for TV. Somehow it reminds me of the destiny of Wim Wenders, also celebrated as the new big thing in the 70s, and much disregarded today.  Both judgements were excessive. They probably weren't the best directors in the world in the 70s - but surely aren't the worst today.    This movie is a little, much under-rated and overlooked, certainly humble and understated gem. Bogdanovich shows here what it means to direct actors in a way that enhances their performances and brings out deep emotions. This is not a superficial movie. Instead, it is one that bears repeated viewings. And it has much of what life has: truth, emotions, changes. I especially like the ending. It seems to get back to the beginning, but it's not. Somehow, everything is there, but everything has changed forever. It's a happy ending, but bittersweet too. And like real life, it goes on, on a road where you can't follow, just like those friends you had and never met again, or just like your past memories.    I've been waiting for a decade to get a dvd of this movie. And I bought it immediately as it came out, because it is really unsure that they may ever reprint this once the first bunch is gone. So get it, don't miss it, this is the best advice I can give. Don't miss the experience of this movie. This is no special fx movie. This is actors cinema at its best. Something rare

Not a Bad First Experience . Having moved overseas when my son was 8 months old, I have been pretty oblivious to what Blue's Clues was. Now that he's 18 months, I ordered this DVD to help him learn about shapes and colors. It's not a bad introduction to the world of Blue's Clues. I remember baby sitting children during the hey-days of Barney and I found Blue's Clues much more palatable. As for my son, he loves it and bops around to the songs and watches the guy as he names the shapes. It does keep his interest so definitely a winner

Really good although all over the place at times . This film is about a young porn star who of course had tragedy in her life.  When she was 12 her mother committed suicide.  After her mothers death her father has a break down and later develops Parkinson's Disease.  At 18 she enters the porn industry and fast forward several years later she seems quite happy with her voyeristic life.  She juggles being a porn star with caring for her dad and hanging out with her crew of porn star friends and every day girls like her lifelong friend played by Rosario Dawson who is a law student and another friend who is a teacher.  I really enjoyed this film but couldn't help but feel like the actress who portrayed Moon was doing her best Angelina Jolie impersonation, I mean she had Angelina down pat.  James Wood deserves an Oscar for his role as the dad who has seen himself go down. I enjoyed this film, but like many other films I was frustrated with the story at times.  It seemed to be all over the place sometimes.  I never knew if the love story between Moon and her blind date was going anywhere, then we see Mon venture off into a new business, then the porn stars find themselves in mini-crisis'.  Although it was all over the place at times, it was a great little indy film, the best indy film I have seen since "Secretary.

Why would anyone want to watch a show about people acting like complete idiots? MTV Rocks, maybe.

Words can't do justice . For me, this film was about Matt Damon, a brilliant newcomer who came out of (seemingly) nowhere. I was floored by his performance - one of the best of the 20th century. Of course he was supported by a fine cast -  Robin Williams, Ben Affleck, and the loveable Minnie Driver, whose onscreen chemistry with Damon was sizzling. Matt is an emerald in a heap of cheap diamonds, and obviously a multi-talented guy - he co-wrote the screenplay as well as starred in it. Well worth seeing.

Review of DVD not production . Firstly I have to say that this is not a Mobile Masterpiece production it is a BBC production.  The production itself is excellent, my favorite adaption of the Charles Dickens novel.  Unfortunately the DVD has been put together as if you are watching the production on television.  There is an introduction by an American presenter who states that what you are watching is a Mobile production.  This is tolerable but once you start watching you find that little icons appear on the screen as would appear on television (I think they are to inform the viewer that wide screen is available).  Finally, before the end credits of the first part, you get to see what will be in next weeks episode.  It would have been a simple matter to take the original recording as supplied by the BBC and use this one for the DVD.  For some reason the DVD producer decided that is was better to have exactly the same recording as was shown on American television.  If you want to get a copy of this production I would recommend getting one that was made for the British market

For those considering Hi, Mom whether for purchase or rental, be sure to watch it with your (white) wife and then project her  into DePalma's puerile depiction of a liberal couple, attending an all black drama (except for DeNiro who conveniently is portraying the viscious hunky cop).

Two cute girls and a plan gone awry . I justed watched SAMARITAN GIRL tonight.  This Korean film, directed by Kim Ki-Duk, features Ji-Min Kwak as Yeo-jin, a high school girl who runs a small prostitution business with her friend Jae-young (played by the cute as a button Yeo-reum Han, acting here under the name Min-jeong Seo, according to Imdb.)    These two girls are best friends and seem to do everything together.  To raise money so they can fly to Europe, Jae-young comes up with the prostitution idea.  She sleeps with the clients and actually enjoys it, while Yeo-jin makes the arrangements and keeps the money.  Things go bad one day when two cops follow Jae-young up to her liaison in a motel, and attempting to escape, jumps from the window to her death.    Yeo-jin is distraught at the loss of her best friend and beset with guilt over having the money entrusted to her.  To alleviate her conscience, she arranges liaisons with Jae-young's clients to give back the money.  However, when her father, a cop on the vice squad, discovers what she's up to, things take a dark turn for both himself and his daughter's customers.    This film seemed like several in one.  It starts off as a story about the friendship of two school girls, turns into a tale of about guilt and redemption, and then turns into a story about revenge and a lack of communication.  I'd like to have seen more of the friendship (with more screen time for Yeo-reum Han), and some things seem rather far-fetched, but it's a thought provoking film and I liked it overall.    The film is presented on DVD by Tartan Video and has one very serious flaw that I've never seen before on disc:  for the last ten or fifteen minutes, there's a quite visible bar running vertically through the picture about a third of the way in from the left.  It's as though I was watching a broadcast with a weak signal.  I couldn't believe I was seeing such a thing.  Did anybody at Tartan look at this transfer before committing it to disc?  I'm thinking of writing them to say that, after seeing this, I must seriously question getting any more of their titles.    Otherwise, the film is presented at 1.78:1, widescreen enhanced.  The picture is okay but not great - kind of on the dark side, and certainly not among the sharpest that I've seen.  It is watchable, though.  I listened to the DTS soundtrack, but it sounded like a regular stereo soundtrack with no special audio effects.    An interesting film, and I'd like to see more by this director, but the transfer problem at the end is unforgiveable.      Ratings:  Film - 4 stars;  DVD transfer - 2 stars

A Great Workout . This is one of my all-time favorite The Firm tapes. It is a great combination of cardio and strength. The time flys when I'm doing this tape.     I read the reviewer that said that these reviews were not by 'real' people. I'm very real and in NO WAY connected to the Firm company or any of it's affiliates.(sounds like legalize, but it's true). I discovered the Firm a couple years ago and discovered that even though I thought I was in good shape, I was wrong. Firm tapes really put you through the paces. If you really do the tapes and stick with them, you WILL get stronger and feel better. I didn't loose a ton of weight, but I DID get fit enough to be able to do a triathlon this last summer.    I've been doing workouts since before we had VHS tapes (I used audio tapes that came with a poster that showed the moves). I've tried just about every exercise instructor out there. They all have good and bad and so does The Firm. But, all in all, I have to say that the Firm workouts are the hardest, safest, most effective, and most fun I've ever done.

One of my favorite movies of all time . And it's a very personal choice. I can totally understand the reviewers who said "Huh?" because it's just that kind of a movie. You either get it or you don't, as the one featured reviewer pointed out (a reviewer whose review I was quite amused to see, as I agree with every word of it, and that probably will never happen again). Yes, the acting is overdone (or "stylized," if you're one of the people enamored of this film). The plot is implausible and absurd (or "fantasy-like and surreal"). The musical choices are a bizarre hodge-podge (or "brilliantly eclectic"). About the only thing there could be no argument about is Ms Lane: you know how good she looks now? Imagine what she looked like in 1984 in a red and black leather mini-dress. I think my feelings are best summed up by the monologue of Raven in this 1984 box-office bomb that I've seen more times than any other film besides Escape from New York: "You're making this harder than it has to be. You and me fall in love for a week or two. I let you go. No one gets hurt." That's what you do with this film for 90 minutes. And with DVD technology, able to skip the slow parts, you can get this down to about 45 minutes of nearly rapturous bliss.

When the Dolls Ruled . For those of you who saw the Dolls back in the '70's, this is a time capsule version that brings you back to Max's Kansas City, Kenny's Castaways, Club 82, and more. The Dolls are young, brash, alive, and vital. Seeing Johnny healthy and built, or Jerry Nolan chubby, it's worth the price of admission. All of the Dolls are energetic and engaging. At the time, the world was their oyster and there was no place to go but up. Great sloppy chaotic versions of their greatest non-hits. A nice feature of the DVD is the Performance Only section, as well as the commentary. It does bog down a little in the middle, but picks right back up again as soon as the band hits the stage. Some of the comments are very funny. The black & white photography lends a "historic" feel. It's way better than it should be, given the time & technology advances since then. It ends around with the Red Patent Leather gigs at the Little Hippodrome, but without fan fare or anything maudlin.

Unforgettable story . This is the true story of Teena Brandon (Hillary Swank), a lonely teenage girl living as a man, "Brandon Teena."  She's been in trouble with the law and has no roots.  When she comes to a new town, she is befriended by a "family" of perpetually drunk low-lifes, and is especially attracted to Lana (Chloe Sevigny), who dreams of going to Memphis and being a karaoke singer.  Brandon and Chloe fall in love, angering two men who begin to suspect Brandon's true identity.    Swank's performance as Brandon/Teena is simply remarkable.    She conveys the heartbreak and misery of an outsider, a misfit, and the need for love that is universal; she won the Oscar in 1999 for this role.  Sevigny is convincing as the girl who falls in love with both Brandon and Teena.  Despite its low-budget (Swank earned only $3,000), this is an extremely well-made, thought-provoking, and deeply moving for adults.  (There are sexual and extremely violent scenes.)  A riveting, shocking, and very sad story with sensitive acting and direction

Amatuer Camera Man. . Love Michael Buble, but this was more like a home made movie of someone using their camcorder from the audience. Parts of Michael's head was cut off, and then; sometimes, his whole head was cut off. Most of the time, the camera man didn't expect where Michael was going to move to and you'll get a jerky movement of the camera man trying to get Michael back into the picture. I wish they would have said in the description that this was more of a documentary than a concert. That this was just home made videos. This was definitely not worth $20. If you want a professional quality concert, I would recommend buying Michael Buble's Caught in the Act. Caught in the Act was worth the $20 bucks. You get professional camera men who anticipated Michael's movements, and parts of his head was never cut off like Come Fly with Me's DVD. Also, the sound quality on Caught in the Act was way better. Now, I understand why some places sold Come Fly with Me DVD's and had the word enhanced after it. The DVD that I received was not enhanced. Anyways, skip this one, and get "Caught in the Act" instead.

Great cast lots of fun. . This is not high minded viewing but who cares, it's freaking Pirates. It's Johnny Depp being awesome; with Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley standing around being hot with occasional spurts of acting. Geoffrey Rush plays the main antagonist and puts out a great performance.    This is one of the coolest adventure films to come out in years. If you like movies like The Mummy and Indiana Jones, or just have an abiding love for kinda corny pirate flicks, then this is right up your alley.    As far as the presentation of the DVD, it's clean and the packaging isn't annoying. The menus dont take a long to cycle so you can just watch your movie and relax. If you are the sort that likes special fearure this is  a good buy since you get a bunch of behind the scenes info and insights into teh making of the film. I am a sucker for behind teh scenes.     Overall a good purchase but it seems to be out of stock as of this review.

Sigh . What a great premise and start to the movie as most of the world's children fall into a coma.  10 years later, no children are born that don't fall into the same coma.  The stock market crashes, riots, the world is uneasy.  Then the children wake up and they are out for blood.  Sounds great, and the children first waking up is really scary.  Then the story just falls apart, and the ending is just stupid.  Nothing is really explained, and you are left empty at the end.  No real gore and average acting.

Not what was promised . Original Review:    I could never get the edition with the Leather Jacket as promised.  After contacting Amazon 3 times and sending back the same version 2 times without a Leather Jacket I gave up.  Even their customer service department said I would never get the correct selection.    I guess what you see isn't always what you get.  I'm sure the actual movie is fine.  I haven't opened it yet as I assume it is new and shouldn't have any scratches.  Maybe I should check that, too!      Follow-up Review:    Judy in Customer Service called me and said she made a special effort to track down a copy of Grease in a leather jacket for me and I could send them back the old one in exchange.  She was very kind and I give her Kudos for being so involved.  As promised, I got my Grease in the leather jacket and my husband is impressed with his gift!  I would give this 5 stars now, but it wouldn't let me change it.

Besides  that, the movie is bad almost to the point of being funny....like the  ending, I won't ruin it or anything (wouldn't that be bad! )......just  don't bend over to pick up your beer (probably #12 by that point in the  movie) because you might miss the whole ending...it's over that quick!

Never achieving its goal . I'll be right up front and admit that I do not own this DVD. I hesitated writing a review for it because of that fact. But then I realized that if you're reviewing a DVD, 90% of the review must be based on the movie itself, and having saw the movie when it was released, and having seen it again on the various cable channels, I felt I could write a respectable reveiw.    Frankly, the movie barely approaches a "B-Movie" status. It's only claim to fame is that it was the first major Hollywood motion picture that did not portray homosexuals in a bad light.    The plot is rather unbelievable, naming the fact that all three main characters are leaders in their field.... successful author, high-ranking network producer, top-rate doctor. Nobody has a profession, or is in a position, with which the audience can relate. The dialog is forced and, at times, rather cliche. Acting is acceptable, though supporting cast members are rather amateurish. Direction is functional, at best.    One glaring problem is the tendency for the movie to suddenly switch from drama to documentary. After or before key scenes, the camera cuts to a monologue from one of the main characters. The effect is startling, doesn't advance the story, and only serves to distract the viewers and lessen the already-weak emotional impact of the film.    To its credit, the actors did whole-heartedly portray gay characters and gay love scenes. At the time, gay characters were never portrayed in a positive light from the media, and it was a great risk to do so here. There were no previous movie experiences of this topic that the director and actors were able to draw on, and they did the best they could.    It was a very ambitious project and was supposed to be ground-breaking and revolutionary, but the weaknesses in the film never raised it high enough to truly make much of a difference in society. This is absolutely proven by the fact that Brokeback Mountain, released about two decades later, had to work very hard to break the same stereotypes that Making Love previously attempted to break. The difference is that Brokeback Mountain was a true work of art impeccable in its execution and actually broke ground and stereotypes, and Making Love all but disappeared in the annals of time.    If you're a collector of good film, this really wouldn't be part of your collection. To add into a collection of films showing early portrayals of homosexuals and homosexual relationships, it would be very appropriate. Sadly, it really is good for only that one reason, as part of a collection of gay films throughout the years

not what i thought . My father, my friend mandy and i watched this movie last night. we were all very disappointed. we thought the movie wasn't realistic. we watched the news and saw all the firefighters and police officers running into the buildings trying to help the people. in this "movie" we saw them leisurely walking around, even stopping to have nice conversations with each other about what they thought was happening. we were really disappointed with the search scene.  it made the men and women of our country look like quitters because it was getting dark. we were under the impression that they search through the night. at least that's what we saw on the news. guess we were wrong. all together i would have to say i'm glad i borrowed this movie from a friend instead of wasting my money buying or renting it

if you like hard hitting stuff... . What is it with the British film scene and its distinctly gritty style. It seems that if we're not producing trashy Ealing comedies, it's a shocking reality drama with the likes of Ray Winstone in it?   Well Ray Winstone isn't in this one, but he could well be as the Rat Catcher is another one of those 'you either enjoy challenging films or you don't' pieces.  I personally love them, I guess I must be a miserable bugger! Of course this film investigates the reality of the underclass, dysfunctional life lived in a rough and grimey housing estate.  But it is unique (well probably not unique) in that it is told pretty much entirely from the view of the 12 year old boy, played by William Eadie, who is struggling to make some sense of what is going on around him.    We learn that no matter what environment children grow up in, they always seem to hold true and remain untainted somehow.    Without wishing to give too much away, it is the final brief scene of this film which has stayed in my mind ever since I watched it in 2000. Worth the wait if you like being deeply moved by simple things

Incredible . Only in this masterpiece can you find Arnold Schwarzeneggar saying "I'm not a pervert!  I just wanted the Turboman doll," "Put the cookie down!  Now!" and "Rock-'em-sock-'em jet pack!"  along with classic moments like Arnold busting into a radio station, kicking down the door and yelling like a madman to a frightened DJ.    Parents, this is a must buy.  You may be able to relate to it, but you'll probably have more fun laughing at how ridiculous it gets (you're children will think you're laughing at the broad humor).  The fact that a parade features a working Turboman suit complete with jet pack kills me just thinking about it

gobbledygook & self-righteousness & pretentious twaddle make for a terrible movie . there is a certain new-fangled school of screenwriting that thinks that if you put a bunch of characters on screen and have them make no sense of one another but sound as if theyre being profound, then they ARE. the prime example of this in recent years is the abominable "crash", but at least that was (somewhat) assuaged by strong performances. this -- arguably the worst "mainstream" motion picture of 2005 -- is redeemed by nothing. an excruciatingly long 2 hours, and as much as i (usually) enjoy george clooney, i might never forgive him for this drek

Day of the Suck . Francisco was right, this film is about as well-conceived as buttcrust.    The review on the back of the dvd says "jaw dropping, " but the full quote probably reads "jaw dropping (because i was lulled to sleep like a baby)". There is about 30 seconds of truly jaw dropping footage, in the zombie attack scenes, but these scenes only account for maybe 5 minutes of the movie. The rest of this film consists of the ear-bleeding whines and yawn-inducing infighting of the human characters, ill-conceived and extremely unlikable caricatures of a pseudo-cynical and extremely redundant "evil side of human nature" message that would be better left to Jean Renoir (or even Adam Sandler considering the results here). I don't watch zombie movies for the characters, especially characters so vapid and unengaging. It seemed like the script writer read a novice's How To pamphlet and said "yeah, it needs some CONFLICT". If these characters weren't so constipated and bloated I'd give them a chance. One Amazon reviewer tries to justify all of the one-dimensional absurdity by crowning it with the weighty title of "social commentary," but that's just a mindless knee-jerk observation that fails to ascertain whether it was carried out sucessfully. It wasn't.  You'd get more insight watching a kid frying ants with a magnifying glass. The critical ambitions of this movie are ill-fitting and embarassing, and ultimately just plain disappointing since they allot almost no time to showcase the director's real talent, which is (you guessed it) the lovely undead. The rest is monotonous dreck.   I don't know why horror directors have so much insecurity about the worth of their strengths that they feel they need to shroud them in a poor man's dramatic rags.     All that aside, the ending is the worst anticlimatic cop-out in the history of horror movies. A horror movie that sucks for 3/4 of its duration needs a cool climax to redeem itself, but the cut-away at the end makes you wanna kick the director in the gonads. Sorry, but anyone who calls this a classic is a friggin soundbite-repeating moron.

a good film from a great man . Was it worth the attention? Definitely. Was it worth the money? Absolutely. Was it worth the effort? Certainly. Was it worth two years? Probably. Was it worth the wait? Not really. Does it deserve to be the last effort of the great late director? Unquestionably.    As the plot of Eyes Wide Shut unfolds, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman struggle to attract the audience's attention. They attentively invite the viewer into their fantasy world, in which dreams might be reality and the reality of one single night becomes a long unforgettable dream.    As good of an actor as Tom Cruise is in this movie, Nicole Kidman manages to steal the show from him. The scene during which she reveals to her husband how she would have easily given up everything: him, her daughter, and her life for a naval officer is a powerful combo of her performances in the critically acclaimed To Die For and the Broadway play Blue Room. The only flawed scene for Kidman as Alice, an ex-gallery manager, who is currently unemployed, is the sequence where she tells her husband she had a terrible nightmare. Her sobs are unemotional in that scene and it does not come out as strong as the rest of her performance.    The famously feared orgy scene is indeed peculiar. It captures the viewer attention, but is it really needed? That scene serves little purpose in conveying the true message of the thin line between imaginary and real life. The entire scenery inside the rich mansion, where the orgy scenes take place, where the masked men pray on hookers, is fantastic regardless of the controversy of its necessity.    Stanley Kubrick, a master of filmmaking, gives an imaginary twist to marriage, dreams, and reality of life. But once the viewer exits the theater, he or she is at loss of words and the thin line between the dream world and the reality disappears. Such effect is indeed Kubrick's last legacy.

Just a cute, romantic escape! . Forget about trying to take this film seriously - just let yourself go and have fun!  It's billed as an Ashley Judd film, and she's great, but truly the whole key hinges on the chemistry between Ashley and Hugh Jackman, who is absolutely adorable in this film!  They are magic together.  The premise is kind of weird and hard to believe, but as I said, just have fun with it!  Greg Kinnear is good, too, but the way, as is Ellen Barkin.  But Hugh makes the film

Excellent Guide . I ordered this guide so that I could understand all of the options and functions available on my new Nikon D200.  Since it is a video that I could watch, pause, then continue watching it was easy for me to understand. The explanations made a lot of sense.  There are lots of examples and exercises that help to explain not only how the D200 works but how to use the various functions to take better photos. I highly reccommend it

Great For What It Is . This is a movie that stands on it's own without being a remake. Like the 'Dawn of the Dead' movie in early 2000, this is kind of like a retelling of sorts; The key plotline generally remains the same, but there are some nice changes and unexpected turns as well. I thought the acting overall was really good; Ermey was def. the best surprise here, and the movie had a very sleek look to it that actually complimented it's content. The same cinematographer from the original returns for the remake, and there are some very nice nods to the original; The part w/Leatherface chasing one victim through the clotheslines hung with lots of white sheets was a memorable moment for me..But make no mistake: This movie is brutal in it's violence, and there is alot of it. And while not really 'scary'(except for Sheriff Hoyt...YIKES!!!), this is one intense, horrific ride. The comment on the box read "If you want horror...this IS horror!!".  For once the box speaks the truth. Plus Jessica Biel spends the whole movie is a semi-revealing tank top, so that never hurts as far as I'm concerned..

Faithful but dull . This made for TV Canadian adaptation of the Washington Irving story is more faithful than the Tim Burton movie. (Of the many things that were wrong with Tim Burton's version, perhaps the most jarring was the decision to made the headless horseman a real person, when in the book it is clear it is a prank to scare Ichabod Crane out of the village). Unfortunately, the fact that this is a faithful version does not necessarily mean that it is an interesting film to watch. In fact, it is pretty dull. The unknown actor portraying Crane doesn't help a lot, either. (Other actors in the movie are more appealing). Still, if you have read the original story, you might be interested to watch this version

A Very Powerful Treatment of Popularity viz a viz Discipline in the Military . In an interview Sir Alec Guinness was asked how difficult it was for him to portray an individual whom he in actual life was the opposite to, Sir Alec responded as all great actors would, by saying that he  felt it to be challenging, but enjoyed it once he got into it... and this is the Alec Guinness that one sees in Tunes of Glory. The tale of friction between two powerful figures, both with huge egos and both unwilling to bend to the circumstances of reality and their times. The ending of the movie has always broken me up and brought me to tears.  for just as in the movie... "all my sons".. the   Major (Guiness) felt an afffinity and a kinship to all the men under him, growing to love them as (..."all my babies"...) he would his own sons.. there lies the irony in the ending... and his ultimate feelings for Col. Barrow (John Mills).....enuff sai

WHO'S FOOLIN WHO . Credit has to go to the people behind APRIL FOOL'S DAY.  Eschewing the typical slasher formula, the movie plays like an update of TEN LITTLE INDIANS.  A group of college students are invited to Muffy St. John's island getaway for a weekend of fun and foolishness.  The writers set up the fact that there are some practical jokers amongst them, so when real murders start, the viewer has to wonder if they aren't jokes, but they seem too real for the frightened crew, and hostess Muffy has started to act like she's missing a few raisins in her muffin.  Although it starts a little slowly, once it picks up, it has some neat suspenseful moments and a predictable but enjoyable climax.  Deborah Foreman, Ken Olandt, Amy Steel, Jay Baker, Clayton Rohner and Griffin O'Neal head the cast, and it's fun for a change of pace slasher/suspense flick
