Undeniably one of Roger Moore's best outings as 007, For Your Eyes Only wasan attempt by Cubby Broccoli to bring Bond down to earth after the over thetop, but brilliant, Moonraker. Surprisingly this works very well, with theaction sequences being more realistic (what with a car chase, ski chase anda small scale assault on the villain's residence instead), but brillianttoo. For Roger Moore the film...

The first three Bonds (Dr. No, FRWL, Goldfinger) are without questionthe best in the series, though From Russia with Love may well be thebest of the best. It has all things we look for in a great Bond film -exotic locales, sinister villains, beautiful women - but it was madebefore Goldfinger established theingenious-yet-demented-supervillain-plus-indestructible-henchmanformula as canonical, so its...

I read some of the reviews on IMDB before taping this movie, and didn'texpect to make it very far in (still needed to tape because of NatashaLyonne) but ended up watching the whole thing and enjoying it.The first third is so sleazy and stupid it actually entertains. For therestof the film, Crispin Glover is fascinating and funny as an naiveintellectual who's seemingly left the house for the first ...

Wow, this is the most poorly made thing I've ever seen in my life. Thestory is like...I don't know what. Sometimes when you're watching acheap B movie, something will happen that's just so stupid that youalmost want to yell at the TV screen. Now, imagine a movie thatconsists of nothing but moments like that, one after another. It starts with a bunch of guys with machine guns fighting some guyswith...

This film was well put together, fun, and didn't take itself at allseriously. I am not sure where the negative hype comes from, but I findwhen a good film gets bad reviews, that means most people just didn'tget it. In this case, perhaps from the last few comic book films thatattempted to "mean something," I think people forgot how to enjoythemselves. Laden with kitsch and tongue-in-cheek humor, th...

I don't know how good this movie is and I don't care because I lovedit. It left me kind of numb. Moved, transported, enchanted. That'sexactly how I want to feel when I get out of a movie. "FindingNeverland" gave it to me, in spades. Johnny Depp, hey Johnny you're thebest we've got. I forgot that it was you two minutes into the movie, Ionly knew I loved that character. That in itself is part of the...

The trailer was boring and I was sure I didn't want to see the movie. Iam also not a big fan of Matt or Sarah. Luckily for me there wasnothing "good" to see for date night out with the wife. So we decidedto see "Failure to Launch". It was possibly the funniest movie so farthis year. Great characters, great story, and loads of bust outlaughing situations. Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates are crazy/fu...

I've always thought Fargo would make a great Shakesperean play; youcould alter the modern elements and still have created a buzz 400 yearsago in suburban England. Indeed, the plot is similar to Hamlet's, inthat they both have characters we root for who create zany plans thanend up spinning wildly out of control into bloodshed. Many people seemto like Fargo for its humorous qualities, its character...

Todd Haynes' Far From Heaven, a homage to the 1950s melodramas of DouglasSirk, is an exquisitely crafted film of beauty and grace. The world thatHaynes creates is so meticulously detailed that one almost forgets thatthemovie isn't fifty years old.Julianne Moore deserves an Academy Award for her portrayal of CathyWhitaker, a homemaker whose idyllic life begins to disintegrate when shelearns that he...

Starring: Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Kieran Culkin, George Newbern, ...

The sweetness that "Father of the Bride" exudes does not stem from the factthat it is funny, but rather because it is honest. It's a remake of the1950s Spencer Tracy classic (which is great in its own right), but has morewarmth about it than that film did. It doesn't rely on slapstick as much asit does on the realistic and ironic lead performance by Steve Martin. Thisis Martin's second favorite fi...
