It doesn't take much to get me to go to a movie, and I had high hopesfor a movie with a) Josh Hartnett, and b) a clever premise. I lookedforward to insightful and funny commentary about the relationshipbetween sex and love and men and women in our post-modern world. What Igot was breasts. Lots and lots of breasts. While the movie does afairly good job (by Hollywood standards) of including a pa...

I've never seen a film quite like 1408. I suppose it's got to be one ofthe best horror movies ever made. But can you call this film a"horror"? Well, it's not the horror movie we're used to seeing in thisday and age. The films that are supposed to scare us nowadays are madefrom the same recycled junk we've been seeing for years now.Nonsensical plots are dreamed up just to make u...

Ridley Scott's masterpiece, 1492: A Conquest of Paradise, is a visuallycompelling film and well acted. Those who gave low viewer ratings inthe viewer comments obviously do not see the beauty of epic films.Epics are supposed to be kind of lengthy. It is, to me, the bestdepiction of Columbus I have ever seen. True, the lead actor is aFrenchman, but if you set that aside you can see that he looks and...

I wasn't entirely sure this movie would stick out from the rest but Ichose to go since I had nothing else to do. Hell am I glad I was bored.16 Blocks is a wonderful thrill ride with lots of action/suspense andmild comedy. Any Bruce Willis fan would love this like they didHostage. Willis plays Jack Mosley, a drunk/hungover cop that seems tohave lost his touch. He gets all the scrap jobs that no one...

Sometimes reading the user comments on IMDB fills me with despair for thespecies. For anybody to dismiss 2001: A Space Odyssey as "boring" they musthave no interest in science, technology, philosophy, history or the art offilm-making. Finally I understand why most Hollywood productions are soshallow and vacuous - they understand their audience.Thankfully, those that cannot appreciate Kubrick's a...

Some movies are like a novel. Some movies are like a poem. Some filmshaveflashbacks and flash-forwards. Some, like `Memento,' stretch theboundariesof convention and take wild risks such as moving the drama from the endtothe beginning. `21Grams' is a cinematic poetic explosion, shaking allthepieces hard as hell, and then tossing them in the air to fall at random.Directed by Alejandro Gonzalez In...

Perhaps I'm a little biased. After all, this is set in the city I liveand work in, and seeing Oxford Street and Piccadilly Circus, which Ipass by every morning and which are usually teeming with crowds ofpeople, completely empty was enough to send shivers down my spine.Usually when you watch a movie like this it's located in somenondescript Midwestern village, which makes it easy to detach yoursel...

I had the opportunity to see this film tonight at a free screening at atheater in Chelsea, NY with the director David Spade, Melissa Georgeand Josh Hartnett all present at the screening and I walked inexpecting another run of the mill vampire movie and walked awaypleasantly surprised.It's no question that over the last 9 years the whole Vampire trend hasbeen overdone to death. Blade spawned a ...

See, I am a married man. And watching this movie, at home on the sofawith my wife whom I love above anything and hopefully always will,almost brought me to tears and easily did her. This movie, no matterall the overdone/overacted characters and the fact that Adam Sandler isprobably the worst person in the world the act crying, is simply thebest description of love ever. To have the energy to every...
