The alternative English-language title of this one , THE BREAK UP , always seemed to me to imply that Chabrol had made a typically classy treatment of the theme of a family going through divorce proceedings a full decade before that Oscar-laden triumph KRAMER VS . KRAMER ( 1979 ) . However , the film's very opening sequence obliterates that misconception immediately and completely : the quiet breakfast being enjoyed by a mother ( the ubiquitous Stephane Audran playing , as usual , a character named Helene ) and her little son is suddenly shattered by the unkempt and sinister appearance of the father ( Jean-Claude Drouot - - perhaps best-known for playing Yul Brynner's long-haired right-hand man in THE LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD the following year ) who is clearly in some kind of daze brought on by the use of illegal substances . The couple start arguing and , just as the man seems about to slap the woman , he grabs the kid and literally throws him clear across the room ; the latter hits his head violently against the edge of a kitchen cupboard and lands in a bloody puddle on the floor ! It is a thoroughly shocking sequence - - not just because it is totally unexpected and comes so early in the film but also since this utterly vile act is committed by a father upon his own son ! Previously , I had equally gasped at a similar deed featuring in Ingmar Bergman's influential period piece THE VIRGIN SPRING ( 1960 ) but , again , the blood link between abuser and abused here makes the action all the more reprehensible . Actually , the film's original French title , LA RUPTURE , should from the outset have been more suggestive to what was in store for the perceptive viewer and , indeed , can be interpreted to allude to various characters and events : the dissolution of the couple's socially incompatible marriage ; the gash in the kid's head ( he is confined to a hospital bed for the duration of the film and is never again seen in a conscious state ) ; the wrecking of the illusory brashness with which down-on-his-luck mole ( Jean-Pierre Cassel , effectively cast against type ) callously spins a web of deceit around Audran in a frame-up engineered by her all-powerful father-in-law ( Michel Bouquet , also uncharacteristically portraying a villain ) to ensure the custody of his grandson ; and , at the film's conclusion , the cracking of Audran's very sanity - - not only through the incredible events happening around her , but also because of her unwittingly imbibing a drug-spiked orange juice drink concocted by Cassel ! ! And what about the breach in Chabrol's own stylistic approach to such archetypal material , taking in as it does a healthy dose of black comedy ( the eccentric inhabitants at the foreclosing boarding house where Audran and Cassel install themselves - - including three elderly tarot-playing snoops , delusional thespian Mario David , boozing landlord Jean Carmet and his bespectacled , " backward " daughter Katia Romanoff ) , sleazy bedroom antics ( courtesy of Cassel's perennially nude and horny girl played by the delectable Catherine Rouvel ) and even outright psychedelia ( Audran's kaleidoscopic vision of friendly balloon vendor Dominique Zardi ) ! Evidently , Chabrol wears his well-documented Fritz Lang influence on his sleeve even in this case ! For the record , the film under review is based on a novel by Charlotte Armstrong , of whose works Chabrol would later also adapt MERCI POUR LE CHOCOLAT ( 2000 ) . The first-rate ensemble cast also boasts a handful of other notable names : Michel Duchassoy ( star of that which is arguably Chabrol's finest achievement , 1969's THIS MAN MUST DIE - - appearing here as Audran's sympathetic lawyer ) , Angelo Infanti ( as the doctor treating Audran's son and a lodger in her peculiar dwelling ) and even Belgian director extraordinaire Harry Kumel ( who , I am ashamed to say , I did not recognize . . . even though I know how he looks today from recent photographs and past DVD supplements ! ) . As always with Chabrol during this major phase in his career , the impeccable accomplishments of cinematographer Jean Rabier and composer Pierre Jansen ( who contributes a strikingly unsettling score ) can never be underestimated . Incidentally , Audran and Cassel would later appear as an oversexed married couple in Luis Bunuel's THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE ( 1972 ) and , again , in Chabrol's star-studded THE TWIST ( 1976 ) which , ironically , is reputed to be his nadir ( ! ) - - and , of course , Audran and Bouquet also played husband and wife in Chabrol's THE UNFAITHFUL WIFE ( 1969 ; which , like THE BREACH itself , can be counted among Chabrol's Top 5 movies ) and JUST BEFORE NIGHTFALL ( 1971 ) ; besides , probably as a result of this same Franco-Italo-Belgian co-production , Bouquet and Cassel would themselves be subsequently engaged to participate in Harry Kumel's own exhilarating magnum opus , MALPERTUIS ( 1971 ) .

Well , we don't actually see the conversation between them , so there's no sure way of knowing . However , I would guess that Dumbledore never talked to Sirius between the Potters ' deaths and the time he went to Azkaban , and Dumbledore is always willing to let people tell their side of the story . He also says something about being a " sufficient Legilimens " , so he probably was sure enough that Sirius's story was true after hearing it , and even if not , hearing Harry and Hermione's matching account shortly afterwards was likely enough to convince him .

Back to the Future was made in 1985 . Let's say that the ' 80's was a very mixed time for films . There were some cheesy sci-fi moves , a lot of teen movies ( the most popular ones were made by John Hughes ) , there were movies made specifically for the special effects , and there were plenty of raunchy comedies like the classic Risky Business and Revenge of the Nerds . During the time of its release , many movie companies weren't predicting Back To The Future to do as well since it didn't have anything raunchy in it , and it was different from a lot of other movies . However , all of those reasons are the real reason behind why this movie did so well . ( possible Spoilers ) The movie is a creative look at the awe and danger of time travel . A teen named Marty McFly ( Michael J . Fox ) never gets to school on time and he doesn't get as much as he deserves . His family is kind of off beat , but all of this changes one day . A man he knows named Dr . Emitt Browm ( played enthusiastically by Christopher Lloyd ) has invented a car that has the ability to travel through time . Due to a certain event , Marty ends up thirty years into the past with no way to get back . Now he needs to find a way to get back to the future before he vanishes into time . This movie is actually way better than what it sounds through my summary . The special effects were groundbreaking for back in their time , the acting is good , and this movie takes a realistic approach at the dangers of time travel . I'd recommend this movie to anybody , even younger kids will probably enjoy this . The sequels aren't bad , but they aren't as good as the original .

Vomit of the brain . To put it mildly , Adam Cooley's no-budget " ME , MYSELF , AND MY THIRD EYE : 4 ENLIGHTENED STORIES FOR 1 IMPERFECT GOD " , is not for everyone . With an overabundance of information - - both aurally and visually - - this is probably going to be too much for most people to take . But the film was designed in such a way to make watching , and rewatching , not feel like a chore . There is a lot to behold , in every frame , but since the running time is relatively short , and the pacing superfast , you can watch the film a thousand times and probably pick up on new little details . There are actually 30-40 hours of compressed footage here , made from thousands of short little videos , but it's sped up , chopped up , layered , and fractured to a such an absurd degree that you never really get lost in a scene , or get comfortable with the action . That being said , you also likely won't be bored either . The film is also designed like a musical . . . there is very rarely NOT some kind of background sound playing , except when there are some shocking , jarring moments of complete silence . Unlike most movies where music underscores our emotional involvement in the picture , and drifts from scene to scene in big , epic ways to prepare us for the next event and to tie everything together ; the music in this seems to be detached and with its own agenda , a blur of weird avantgarde electronics , dark dronescapes , and beautiful piano tinkerings . The most compelling aspect of this film to most people will probably be how urgent everything feels . This was shot in about 2 months , with a large cast compared to most of this director's previous stuff , and nothing was really stopped and thought about . A scene was filmed , a scene was edited , and then the movie continued . Not everything works , of course , as not every experiment can be a success , but there are a lot of little visual tricks and treats that are quite inspired , for those willing to invest some time into this . Also note the completely desaturated look of the film ; even in the more colorful parts of the movie , there is a weird haze . The whole thing is quite blurry , actually , as if scenes from a hazy memory . This film feels like no other that's ever been made , or probably ever will be made . This film follows 4 separate stories , wherein characters search for themselves , search for God . Lives in transition . No-budget , and shot on a crappy kid's camera . Interesting . On a packed DVD through Sun Cult video that is extremely limited and maybe not be available by the time you read this . Will one day be worth tons of money , so you might want to pick up a copy now . Just sayin ' . . .

Along with Jim Thompson , David Goodis stood in that second tier of hard-boiled writers whose work would generate several titles in the noir cycle and its aftermath : The Unfaithful , Nightfall , The Burglar , Street of No Return , and Dark Passage . In this last , Delmer Daves wrote the passably tight script ( a few holes remain undarned ) , which he then directed , resulting in one of the more memorable San Francisco noirs . We open on an oil barrel teetering around on the back of a truck . A pair of hands on the rim ( from within ) indicate that its occupant is trying to dislodge his container from its berth , which he does , as well he might , as he's an escapee from San Quentin , in for murdering his wife three years ago . We know from the iconic voice , with its wisp of an impediment , that it's Humphrey Bogart , but we don't get a glimpse of him for quite a while . Fired up by the dubious " subjective camera " technique of the Robert Montgomery's recently released The Lady in the Lake , Daves , too , casts the camera as his main character's eyes . Luckily , he's inconsistent in using this conceit , and once Bogart gets a face job , that's the end of it , and not a second too soon . After hitching a ride with too inquisitive a driver ( Clifton Young ) , whom he pummels into silence , Bogart is picked up by Lauren Bacall , who seems to know all about him and whisks him back to her moderne two-floor apartment in the city ( the lighted elevator glides up and down a glass-brick column ; the building , by the way , still stands ) . Bacall took an interest in his case since her own father was wrongly executed for murder ( in the newspaper clipping she keeps , Daves ' photograph does service for Dad ) . What's more , she travels in the same ritzy circles as did Bogart and his defunct wife , and do viperish Agnes Moorehead and coveted man-about-the-town Bruce Bennett . Bacall sequesters Bogart as long as she can in her more than comfortable digs , what with a well-stocked liquor cabinet , home-cooked dinners by candlelight and Jo Stafford styling torchy numbers from the radio . But comes the time when Bogart must exchange his mug for a less recognizable one , and the movie must go down the mean streets of film noir . Young's distinctive convertible jalopy parked outside is the first clue that's something's amiss , but Bogart takes heart from good-hearted cabbie Tom D'Andrea , who not only drives him to the spartan rooms of his best friend , a jazz trumpeter ( Rory Mallinson ) , but who just happens to know an unlicensed sawbones who specializes in $200 plastic surgeries . Bogart plans to stay with Mallinson for his week of recuperation , but finds him dead , bludgeoned with his own trumpet . Bandaged up like The Invisible Man , he makes his way back to Bacall's layout , determined to smoke out his wife's killer . . . . Despite jumping rather impulsively from one plot strand to the next , Dark Passage keeps up a not-so-slack pulse of tension . Daves works up a few evocative and suggestive sequences . Houseley Stevenson delivers toothsome little character study ( sinister ? Benevolent ? ) of the back-alley surgeon , and when Bogart strikes out on his own , wanting little more than eggs-over-easy at a diner , he's spotted by a police detective who comes on like a Gestapo agent - - it's a neat way of expressing the vulnerability that Bogart thinks even his new visage can't disguise . Dark Passage is far from flawless . In their third major screen pairing ( Two Guys From Milwaukee is best overlooked ) , off-screen couple Bogart and Bacall fail to generate the playful erotic spark that Howard Hawks coaxed out of them in To Have And Have Not and The Big Sleep ; granted , Dark Passage is plenty shy of playfulness . Worse , the various strands of the story often come across as episodic , unconnected ; Daves ( or Goodis ) doesn't weave the tenuous but tough web of murky connections that a Raymond Chandler could . Still , as one of Daves ' better efforts , it still holds up - - and it's fascinating to watch that elevator slide up and down its crystal sheath .

I agree with what the second poster wrote . When I watched this movie , I was shocked at how Cubby was killed . But of course , it was a little early in the movie for what it might've led to . " English ? Who needs that ? I'm never going to England . "

Little Nicky ? That had no religious significance whatsoever . It was just a Hollywood satire of religion and Hollywood is usually wrong . I can't remember much about Dogma that reflected true Christianity . It's probably a safe bet to say that satire poorly represents religion . The Devil's Advocate and The Passion of the Christ had good representations of Satan , making him seem logical instead of grotesque and unapproachable . Stigmata had a good moral , putting the emphasis on one's own relationship with God instead of legalistic hierarchies . Bruce Almighty isn't on your list and yes , it's satire , but I thought the end of the movie captured what the mentality of a Christian should be very well . Does The Gift have any religious implications to it ? I haven't seen it yet , but it has a low rating so I'm not sure if I want to . Peace cannot be kept by force .

I definitely get the vibe that Ace would have killed him . Eyeball tries to talk to him but he's not listening and Teddy seems to take off when he realizes that Ace is ready to kill . One thing I have been wondering about - why didn't Chris just run away ? Why did he stand there waiting for Ace to kill him ? Because he was making a stand . It was clear that Ace had been bullying them for a long time and the idea of him and his friends taking credit for the body when Chris and his group has traveled so far was too much . http www myspace com crazyjimfilms Click here to read my scripts !

Few movies take me back to my childhood like Men in Black does . I used to absolutely love this movie , and I basically had every word of dialogue memorized , at one point . It's still mostly as fun and funny as I remember , from when I first went to the movies to see it in the late 90's . Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones really make a great on-screen team . They play off each other flawlessly , and I couldn't picture any other actors playing the roles of J and K . The story isn't exactly amazing , but the special effects and alien designs still hold up pretty well , today . Men in Black has aged very well , and is still an enjoyable sci-fi action comedy .  

I don't see either how they could possibly have got such flow and precision without a worked-through script . Not on a production this size and which was shot in several countries . The sets and the coaching of the actors to recreate a below-surface feeling of the gilded classes were given great effort , so you wouldn't expect anyone to take chances with the script . Sturridge sounds likely , but I don't believe it was written in great haste . They may have had an early script from Mortimer and found themselves forced to acknowledge him even though they didn't use too much of it , to avoid later legal action ( the same thing happened with a musical written by Björn and Benny of Abba , not Chess but another one - they had commissioned a script book , based on another source , from a guy but found it was unusable , much too diffuse . Still , they kept his name as one of those credited for the script to avoid legal fuss ; later it went to court anyway because the man wanted to be recognized as sole script writer , more or less . . . ) Some other writer may have been sontracted , done the bulk but found himself unable to take credit openly . Those kinds of things do happen . After the revolution everything will be different . Your password is ' Giliap ' !

Nice seeing Claire today . Watching her interaction with Sonny I get the feeling that the writers are going to find away of pairing these two like with Hannah and Reese . I like Reese by the way and love the actress .

what I hate is that most people say that a film can't be a GREAT film unless it's R or an adult film . Just because TS3 is G people are saying " it's not the best movie ever " I mean , just look at the top ten on Imdb's top 250 with the exception of toy story and star wars , pretty much ALL the films are rated R , which just goes to show you that almost 80 % of the ignorant idiots out there think that in order to be a great movie it has to be rated R . The only movie I could probably agree with on that top ten is Pulp Fiction all the others are just so damned boring and dragged out , and people seem to think THAT'S what makes it a good movie : it needs to be 3 hours long , it needs a " famous " director and actors , and it needs to have won several awards or nominees . And IMO , maybe Toy story WONT make number one , but I still think it deserves to stay where it is , now . I think Halo is a pretty cool guy , eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything

The Specialist may not be great cinema , but it does offer some good bang-bang explosives action and also some interesting characters . Sly Stallone is a former CIA-attached Army explosives expert , Raymond Quick , skilled at focus detonations that blow up certain areas while leaving surrounding areas unharmed . In 1984 he and his partner , Ned Trent , must blow up a bridge frequented by a Columbian drug lord , but a civilian bus enters as the explosives are set to go off . When Trent callously goes through with the mission , Ray disarms the bombs , then beats up Trent before having him discharged from the Agency . Ten years later Trent now works as security chief for a Miami mafia chief who years earlier had a former underling named Munro killed - in front of the man's daughter , May . May Munro now wants her parents ' killers blown up , and she wants Ray Quick for the job . Ray is initially reluctant , believing it to be a setup , but eventually accepts , and starts blowing up the three thugs responsible one by one . But it is a setup - May Munro is in reality working for Trent , who is using her very real desire for revenge to smoke out Ray . Quick , though , is too smart for Trent's traps - until Ray and May's passion heats up ad Trent gets the break he needs to finish off the both of them . The film's highlights are James Woods ' over-the-top performance , the explosion scenes , and also John Barry's haunting score , fleshed out by Gloria Estefan's garish cover of Vicki Sue Robison's 1970s disco classic " Turn The Beat Around . "

I was really forward to this movie . For a number of reasons . First of , I'm a family type of guy and it seemed to be up my street . Then I knew that this movie ( and the autobiographic novel behind it ) single-handedly created the genre of " large family comedy " ( viz The Brady Bunch , etc . ) and was eager on seeing the original , which might well have turned out to be the freshest of the fray . Then the plot just seemed promising : a time-and-motion guy having to cope with a chaotic family of thirteen , especially as it was based on a true story . Finally I was looking forward to seeing Myrna Loy , who in this case was promising a strong female lead . OK , well , I was disappointed . This movie was stolid throughout , and the humour pretty lame . Myrna Loy just teletyped her role in , her role consists entirely of looking approvingly at her husband . But worst of all , the movie is often decidedly reactionary . In one scene a birth control advocate is ridiculed for being a birth control advocate . In another , almost breathtakingly un-PC scene that would have made Larry Flint cringe , one of the girls has it explained to her by her heartthrob that he respects her for not putting out because , while he plans to sow as many wild oats as possible before marriage ( wink , wink ) , he will only marry a pure girl . The whore-madonna-complex in living colour . I can see why many people like this movie , it's by no means god-awful , but it was less than I expected .

out of I watched this knowing what it was going to be like . I knew it would be trashy , cheap , unassuming , and interesting . But unfortunately , this film is none of these things . I went in expecting these things and i had them all shoved back into my face . I wasn't expecting this film to be as good as KALIFORNIA , but i was taken agog when i discovered what it really was . The film is basically just about a couple who hook u with a young outlaw and basically go on a trip to nowhere . While on this trip , they have some encounters with several people who they end up murdering . They don't show any kind of guilt by doing this . Just regret . This film was too easy . It's concluding statement is that the youth of today have made their world there own personal hell . This is established from the beginning and then the film decides to show as many different ways of showing this as it can . For me it didn't work , but in a strange way , it did . I liked the way the film doesn't take or give any sort of apologies for the weird images it shows . I liked the way the film showed us a continuing spiral around repetition . I usually hate it when a film does these sorts of things , but here it fit perfect . Rose Mcgowen does a fine job in her role of what appears to be a girl with terrets syndrome . The major problem is that the film just doesn't show enough of . . . well . . . everything . The scenes are half heartedly done , the characters are half heartedly developed , and the set design just seems to keep repeating more and more strange set tone and color , but not enough variety . Take , for instance , a surreal scene in which the teenagers accidentally hit a dog on the road and put it out of its misery . What makes this scene funny is the fact that they have already murdered several people throughout the course of the film , and yet when they hit the dog , they show more genuine emotion for hitting this animal than for murdering another human being . And yet the viewer will still get the feeling that they didn't show enough emotion for the dog either . There must be something wrong with a film when the only scene in the film where the viewer can feel anything relative to the characters in a regular human being is in a particular scene right at the very end which involves hedge trimmers and Nazis . Obviously , it is scenes like the one with the dog that drive the message of the film home . Now , the main problem with the film is how director Greg Araki ( Mysterious Skin , Totally Fckd Up ) has to add a little zing to the carnage scenes . He adds style , which should definitely not be used in a film like this . There is a scene where a store owner's head is blown off with a shotgun , right off the stump . Now this scene is pretty straight forwardly done . Two people struggle with the gun , it goes off , someone is killed in the process . The thing is , once the the head lands in the guacamole , it screams and lurches , as if still alive . Now there's nothing wrong with having something like this in a film of this texture . The problem arises when it is talked about on local news programs that begin the discussion of how the head was sworn to be talking at the scene of the crime , and how a necklace was found at the scene of the crime along wit several other dead bodies . This is the kind of stuff that isn't necessary and certainly doesn't make the film any more interesting . It makes the film slow paced . And for a film that is less than 90 minutes , that is something that a director , especially one like Greg Araki , who has made some amazing films , should definitely avoid doing . Just look at films like KIDS or BULLY . They don't fall into the trap of being stylized for the sake of being stylized . Homosexuality also is a frequent concept that is brought up several times in the film . Now i have absolutely nothing against homosexuality in films . I don't even care if it's just a casual occurrence in a film . But in this film , the concept of the boyfriend being gay , or the drifter being gay is simply something that isn't explored to any real extent . In fact , the aspect of Rose Mcgowen or her boyfriend being a straight couple is barely explored either . For a film that has so much gay sex , straight sex , and three ways , there really should be more of an attempt for sexual exploration of the characters and less of a chore . I know that it is just a thing that these characters do , and i know that they don't care who loves who or what they want to do with each other , but they could have at least had an orgy and not just a series of weird encounters . Having said that , i do find the film interesting in its own trashy way . And i do kind of think the film is worth seeing , but the whole awkwardness of what the film attempts and repeatedly succeeds to prove is dumbed down by its finishing touches . ( the film is not rated but is intended to be viewed by adults only . it contains overdone violence and gory images , a substantial use of strong language , lots of graphic sex and nudity , and a fair share of drug use . )

yeah , i own the video version . . . . . i think its kind of funny that the beautiful ' barbara williams ' who plays corey haim's lover in the film , had previously played his mother in 1988's ' watchers ' . kinda creepy huh ?

You should learn to accept that someone who is a fan of both the original and the new film may have a conflicting opinion concerning which character was better . Grow up . I could care less who likes this film and who doesn't like the original . I'm not saying everyone has to agree with me . You said she was condescending , and then failed to present any evidence and still failed to present some evidence . When did she talk down to characters ? It isn't a matter of opinion if she was condescending . If you didn't like Heather's portrayal , that was fine , but she in no way acted condescending or mean to any of the characters . Like I said , she was mean to Glen in the bedroom because he messed up . Almost cost her her life . She conftoned her mother about what was on her mind . She stood up against her mother and her drinking problem . " Rooney Mara on the other hand struck me as being exactly what she was supposed to be . . a timid girl who was accustomed to being on the outside looking in and who began to develop an inner strength as her survival instincts kicked in throughout the film . I found nothing bland nor unlikable about her character . " I think Rooney did a good job too . I just don't like her character . She lacks charisma . Not Rooney , the character . I found her bland because everytime she was on screen she talked in monotone . You can be a timid outsider and talk to at least your mother in a half normal way . Again , I don't blame Rooney , i blamde PD for all this . Her character wasn't unlikable necessary , it just felt that Quentin was more intresting and had emotions . The only time Nancy really displayed any emotion was the scene where she was crying to her mother to tell her the truth and the " i dont wanna sleep anymore " scene .

Thai girls are extremely easy to pick up despite an awkward and odd greeting . For free apparently .

no idea

Didn't know you were a fan , Steve day ? Now this is spooky , i just bought this yesterday , watched it , and it still freaks me out . I'm here on IMDB , looking around at comments about this show , and here you are . . . . . very , very spooky I guess we have pretty much the same tastes in stuff ?

Anyone else find it sad how in his last feature role , he died on the spot ? I hate it when that happens . An actor dies in a movie , and then he dies in real life . Sort of happened with Burt Lancaster and Field of Dreams , too . On that note , it seems to me that his role was appropriately titled - the Inventor . For me , he was one of the inventors of horror movies .

Agree . . . & it's refreshing to see how normal she dresses . Also , she really looks like Halle now Important advice ( I i k , ) [ url ] [ / url ] [ quote ] [ / quote ] [ spoiler ] [ / spoiler ]

I don't know about greatest ever but it is a highly entertaining post-apoc comedy adventure that clearly improves upon each viewing . Now if they could just get this damn thing out on DVD we could all be happy . " It's a natural , natural , natural desire Meet an actual , actual , actual vampire "

When the film started with a marriage in Hawaii where the best man is flown in with a Cessna I was reaching for my barf bag , but it went uphill from there on and I was laughing a couple of times . You've seen it all before , guy's best friend moves in with newlyweds and various kerfuffles occur , but at least this movie lends a glossy new look to it . I also thought it was kinda bold how the movie's antihero is shown " debasing " himself into a tube sock to a porn video . It also puts one over Ultimo tango a Parigi with regards to unorthodox employment of the oft-ignored vittle of butter . Give this one a try if you just want to chill with a movie .

Turko-German directing star Faith Akin proffers the tale of a family of Italian immigrants in Germany . " Solino " is the movie that immediately preceded his breakthrough " Gegen die Wand " . A young couple and their two sons move from the Italian village of Solino to Germany , where they are , overall , pretty successful as restauranteurs . But in time divisions become apparent : the father can't handle his success and exploits his wife and sons . The brothers fight over women ; when one of them becomes successful as a movie director , the other brother can't handle his own jealousy . When the mother falls deadly ill , the filmmaker gives up his career and moves back with her to Italy , where he finds true love . The movie is watchable , but overall I couldn't warm to it . The plot is often meandering and full of clichés . I didn't like seeing German actors portraying Italians who speak German throughout - - that simply couldn't fly . I didn't buy the bit about the one brother being a film-making boy wonder - - the movies we get to see by him are bo-ring . I didn't buy the Jules-et-Jim-like love affair between Gigi , Giancarlo and Jo - - she comes across as little more than a blonde slag . I really hated the stereotype about the simple country girl waiting for her childhood love to come back from Germany " to bring her snow " . I thought the story about the kindly photo shop owner was naff . That's not enough for me to either hate or love this movie . The only thing that stands out to me is the impressive performance of the actress portraying the mother , Antonella Attili .

Well if that's true it looks terrible .

they take away his pop-out wing feature ! or were you talking about the buzz in the movie ? yeah that wouldn't make any sense . I think Halo is a pretty cool guy , eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything

I think she is carried out in a stretcher during the news report at the beginning of the film . " pack of monkeys in my pocket , my sisters ready to go "

Only in my dreams . Strength of mind , force of will . . .

What a delight ! Dreamlike in tone , " Ed Wood " lovingly imparts to viewers the humorously delusional world of 1950s bad-film artiste Edward D . Wood , Jr . ( Johnny Depp ) , creator of legendary bad films , most notably " Plan 9 From Outer Space " . Part of the film's charm is how it portrays Wood , gushing with uncalled-for enthusiasm and optimism . Depp's facial expressions are priceless ; that glib smile , those bugged-out eyes , the raised eyebrows , all enhanced by exaggerated makeup . But no amount of incompetence can deny Wood's passion for making films . With a big megaphone to call out commands to his actors , Wood is like a ten-year-old boy , thoughtless of the finished product ; he just wants to play movie director . Wood surrounds himself with a motley crew of Hollywood misfits , including most especially washed-up " Dracula " actor Bela Lugosi ( Martin Landau ) , whose relationship with Wood propels most of the film's plot . But there are other , equally eccentric , people drawn to Wood , the most interesting being Bunny Breckinridge ( a surprisingly good performance by Bill Murray ) , Vampira ( Lisa Marie ) , and Criswell ( Jeffrey Jones ) , that otherworldly seer of the future . The misfit label applies to Wood too , of course , who directs his actors , dressed in women's clothes , seemingly oblivious to the managerial discordance of such attire . The script's characters and the film's high-contrast B & W lighting combine to portray Hollywood as a comically nightmarish place of delusional unreality . Simple sets mirror the cheapness in Wood's world . And that bongo-laced score with accompanying Theremin and crashing symbols is almost hypnotic . Acting is way , way above average . Depp is absolutely terrific . And so is Landau . I can't think of any weak performances . My only problem with this film is that the plot gives a tad too much attention to Lugosi . That Wood was anointed as the " worst director of all time " seems a bit cruel . At least he had heart and soul . Yet one cannot deny the unintended humor in his films . Wonderfully nostalgic , " Ed Wood " reflects back to another era in film-making , when thinking big , self-assurance , and nerve were all a young man needed to make his Hollywood dreams come true , no matter how untalented .

How do you know he actually read the full question on the card ? He was only given a few seconds to do so

do NOT NOT NOT watch it in IMAX 3D apon you're first viewing , PLEASE WATCH IN 2D APON FIRST VIEWING ! I think Halo is a pretty cool guy , eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything

Kind of like how SON OF KONG is a shadow of what KING KONG was , this first Godzilla sequel is not without merit yet is a lesser entry coming after the original . These notations are based on the Japanese-language Toho version ( the U . S . edition , which upon initial release was absurdly called GIGANTIS THE FIRE MONSTER , is said to be inferior ) . Since the original Big G was throughly destroyed last time , a second " Godzilla " conveniently arrives on the scene , and for some reason is given a porcupine-like crawling dinosaur called Anguirus to tussle about with . The monsters ' frenzied on-and-off fight scenes are fun to watch ( some of their bouts are well-staged , but can come off as unintentionally funny when they're sped up ) , though this followup chooses to spend a good portion of its time focusing on its human characters and relationships , sometimes to good effect .

I will state right off that I am not generally a fan of musicals . That being said , I found this one particularly difficult to watch through to the end . I have not seen the original Mel Brooks production , so am not comparing it . While I normally appreciate Matthew Broderick's acting , this is his worst performance that I have seen . Nathan Lane is mediocre . I am not a big Uma Thurman fan , but found her character the most interesting and well played of the lot . Most of the " songs " in this movie are unbelievably trite and mostly tripe . The dance routines do seem well done , for those that appreciate that . If you are not a HUGE fan of musicals , I would say avoid this one at all costs .

And thats the truth . / Fred I'm a Republican , and thats my opinion on this matter .

: - ) ) Indeed , you are right ! I did not know / realize this and of course checked the staff line-up and indeed it was her 3rd or 4th movie . I have always had a crush on this type of woman and Tuesday is certainly THE cutie of the 60ies and 70ies , have always loved to see her . Unf . she has retired from the screen , but then again , she was 58 in 2001 , certainly had made enough dough to call it a day and is hopefully enjoying herself still today at 65 . Cheers to her and thanx to you for the hint ( I'm gonna search my VHS of FIVE PENNIES and watch it again ) . : - )

It's a road movie , with a killer on-board . Brian Kessler ( David Duchovny ) , a sophisticated , urbane writer , wants to conduct field research on American serial killers . But , neither he , nor his girlfriend , Carrie ( Michelle Forbes ) , has the money for a cross-country tour of murder sites , so they advertise for someone to share travel expenses . Who they end up with is a young couple , Early Grayce ( Brad Pitt ) and his girlfriend , Adele ( Juliette Lewis ) , two better examples of " poor white trash " you will never find in all of cinema . Indeed , Early and Adele are what make this film so entertaining , as they babble , cackle , confide , muse , speculate , drool , and otherwise behave in ways I haven't seen since reruns of " The Beverly Hillbillies " . Early's idea of California : " People think faster out there , on account of all that warm weather ; cold weather makes people stupid " . That's enough to convince Adele : " I guess that explains why there are so many stupid people around here " . To which Early responds proudly : " It sure does " . Early continues to instruct Adele about California : " You never have to buy no fruit , on account it's all on the trees . . . and they ain't got no speed limits , and I hear your first month's rent is free , state law " . But poor Early has some , well , mental problems , which become ever more obvious to Brian and Carrie as the four travelers proceed west across the U . S . As they enter the desert Southwest , with its beautifully stark landscape , " Kalifornia " starts to look more and more like " The Hitcher " ( 1986 ) , and Early starts to act more and more like John Ryder , everyone's maniacal hitchhiker , whose terror seemed so unstoppable . In " Kalifornia " , the acting is uneven . Duchovny's performance is flat . Brad Pitt is surprisingly effective , despite his overacting at times . Michelle Forbes is great as the avant-garde , photographic artist . But my choice for best performance goes to Juliette Lewis . With her nasal voice and heavy-duty Southern accent , she is stunning , as the naive , highly animated , child-like Adele . Toward the end , the film takes on a Twilight Zone feel to it , as our travelers enter a Nevada nuclear test site with a dilapidated old house full of test mannequins . The plot dissolves rather messily into unnecessary and preposterous violence , an ending that was somewhat disappointing . Overall , however , " Kalifornia " is an entertaining film , thanks to a clever concept , great scenery , especially in the second half , good cinematography , great dialogue , and that wonderful performance by Juliette Lewis .

haha . . great actor that he is , I come here almost every year on his birthday to say the same thing Important advice [ url ] [ / url ] [ quote ] [ / quote ] [ spoiler ] [ / spoiler ]

Archival footage and contemporary interviews provide a glimpse into the final six months of the life of Marilyn Monroe . The documentary spans the time from February , 1962 , until her death in August , 1962 , using benchmark dates , usually associated with the film she was making at the time : " Something's Got To Give " . The film was never finished . Interviews include Producer David Brown , Associate Producer Gene Allen , Producer Henry Weinstein , Writer Walter Bernstein , and actress Cyd Charisse . Throughout the documentary , Marilyn comes across as physically lovely , playful , emotionally insecure , a tad irresponsible , temperamental , eager to learn , vulnerable , and dependent on sleeping pills . One segment has B & W footage of her as she shows up tardy at the May 19th birthday celebration of then President John Kennedy , just weeks before she died . When she finally appears on-stage , host Peter Lawford introduces her to the audience : " Mr . President , the late Marilyn Monroe " . The Monroe documentary runs about 77 minutes . The remainder of the film consists of pasted-together excerpts of what exists of " Something's Got To Give " . It runs about 35 minutes . The quality of the documentary is quite good , what there is of it . But I didn't really learn anything new . Some brief mention , at least , could have been made of all the conspiracy theories surrounding her death . They were not included . Overall , this is an acceptable film , especially for anyone unfamiliar with Monroe's history . But it is a tad superficial . And I could have wished for more in-depth analysis .

But if the camera was running while the chimp trashed it , the footage would still make for better cinema than anything Boll could manage . Perhaps the camera could be encased in a Samsonite boot to spare it , but there's no way to make a Boll-proof cinema . - - - " The Dig " http cinemarchaeologist blogspot com

What are the other two discs for ?

Perry White and Maxwell Lord were only in one episode this season .

What do you think were the worst episodes ? 1 . Hello Dolphin ( I cannot watch that one after what happens to Debbie - - thank God she made it ) 2 . Time Flies 3 . Where the Gauchos Roam ( just like the parts with Marianne and her best friend LOL ) 4 . Blood Sisters 5 . Temple of Eliza 6 . Nigel Knows Best 7 . Great Bangaboo 8 . Dragon / Professor 9 .

I hate that just because movies are old , they're candidates for being remade , but I have to admit that most of the time when I watch older movies I find myself recasting some of the characters with actors I'm more familiar with . Brad Pitt definitely for Sundance . I kept getting that vibe from Redford throughout the movie . Newman was giving me a Matthew McConaughey or Woody Harrleson vibe , but they're not that much older than Pitt . As for Etta , take your pick from any Hollywood hottie . I love that Goldman intentionally gave her a purpose , but I doubt she'll be given that much respect a second time around . ( unfortunately ) A strong mind can fuel a frail body .

But reading about random Firefox add-ons doesn't sound like a topic I'd want to read , unless I knew they'd be something I wanted . There , now that's a sensible reason , one that I definitely understand . My post was aimed at the add-on junkies of the board , as there definitely are some , so I figured they'd look out of curiosity .

Thank you for your answers , they are two good points of view . Maybe the eyes of Mick , Johnny and Wallace say everything ! The first time I saw the scene of the blows , it seems to me a bit funny : these three boys behave like if they are going out for a walk ! The harder punishment to Mich was a surprise ! But he have said hard words to Rowntree and is the head of the team , so his punishment wants to be an example !

Of course if you compare something mediocre to something that's garbage the mediocre item is going to look better , but that's not saying much at all . It should be expected that its going to be better than crap . And no remake would be better , you are right , but a good remake is better than a mediocre remake . A remake that actually fixes problems with teh original ( the contradictory cliche ending ) would've been nice , but instead we get a movie that judging from two leaked scripts have an eye rolling cliche he's not dead yet ending .

Forgive me if I'm asking inane questions , I don't know much about Christian history , and I also don't know how much truth there is to the novel / movie . 1 - Is this film implying that Christianity was based on a lie ? Did " Paul " really go around praising Jesus who really wasn't this sacred individual , but instead Paul just made him into one so that people of the time had something to believe in ? 2 - Why is it called " The Last Temptation " ? What was the temptation ? Jesus got off the cross because he thought God had sent him an angel and he thought he was following God's orders ( of getting down off the cross , and living a normal life ) . Its not like the angel was some hooker who said " c'mon baby , forget this God of yours and lets live a life of money , and sex and drugs " , no , he thought it was a legitimate angel who was sent from God , so why is he blamed for that ? Why is that considered a temptation ? 3 - I can't believe Willem Dafoe was at least nominated for an oscar . He was frickin ' brilliant ! How could the Academy snub him like that ?

I was fine with them , for the most part , until the end of this last episode when they were practically tickiling each other with joy , knowing they knocked out either Air Force or The Fogals . These guys have egos the size of the Effiel Tower . Wish they'd have remained there . Next week looks to be a physically challenging episode and that does no bode well for the Geniuses . Go AF ! Nearly scared the bejeebers out of me last episode . Can't believe how pea green jeaous the other teams are of them - - STILL .

^ I agree with that . She's on top of the world now , she can only go down . But that doesn't mean she won't be good still , just probably not as popular .

Hal's father is a soldier or some kind of hero who planted heroism in his son before he DIED while he was a child in an accident / murdered by some villain . Hal will fall in love with Carol and they will have a typical love / hate / bickering thing going on will repeated make-ups / braek-ups . Sounds almost like Daredevil . Carol dating / engaged to Hector Hammond . Hah . Dark Knight . Hammond's father is a SOB himself , but he always puts down his evil genious son , so Hector kills him at about the medium of the film . A dash of Ang Lee's Hulk , there . I don't like these very much for this movie , either .

Mark my words . . . EKLAVYA will never , never , never get nominated for an Oscar !

A gay serial killer preys on young men that are in rough situations . A closeted cop gets promoted to detective and takes on this case . Unfortunately , after a night out at the bar , he ends up going home with the killer ! You have to give it to this one for its original premise . It sounds a tad like " Cruising , " but it is not as offensive as that film . Considering " Hard " had no budget ( apparently , it was financed on a few credit cards and everyone involved worked for free ) , the average acting is ( sometimes ) forgivable and it is a well-made film . The violence is mostly implied and you see the nasty resulting images , which are certainly creepy enough . I saw the R-rated version ( damn it ! ) and was annoyed that the screen faded to black during most of the sex scenes ( except the one heterosexual one , of course ) . " Hard " makes several attempts at social commentary , some of which are muddled and not entirely successful . The serial killer's motive is severe internalized homophobia . On the outside , he doesn't seem to have a problem with being gay , but he can't stand that American society treats Queer youth as disposable . So instead of doing something to change this , he disposes of the kids himself to save them from the abuse they'll face throughout their lives . Yeah , it is pretty ridiculous , especially considering he tortures his victims , many of which aren't even Queer youth . Related to this , but explored much more satisfactorily , the film portrays how difficult it is to be a gay cop , and the extreme homophobia that goes on in police departments . Much of the tension and suspense in this film , interestingly enough , comes from whether or not the lead character is going to out himself or be outed . Once he finally is , he is subjected to hatred and violence from his coworkers . I've read several accounts of things like this happening , but have never actually seen a film portray it , so " Hard " gets kudos for that . While it isn't always effective or successful as either a serial killer thriller or a social commentary , Hard does have its moments and is an admirable no-budge film . My Rating :

just wanted to say that .
