Lost in Translation stars Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. I should declare in advance that I’m a Bill Murray fan. He’s starred in some of my favourite films of all time, and he does really well in this film. He’s very funny, but plays it serious where he has to. He does a great job [...]
American Splendor stars Paul Giamatti. I’m not sure what to say about this film. It’s good. It didn’t move me greatly, or show me anything or hugely entertain me. It’s an homage to the comics of Harvey Pekar, telling his life story, and that of the comics, with acting interspersed with interviews. It’s interesting, and [...]
The Last Samurai stars Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe. An American army officer learns the ways of the Samurai in the late 1800s.
I have to say in advance that I have something irrational against Tom Cruise. It’s beyond reason, but it’s there. Havin said that I really enjoyed this film. It was well told [...]
Out of Time stars Denzel Washington and Eva Mendes. Denzel washington is framed for a crime, and, during the investigation, has to steer the other investigators away from himself.
I did like this film – I wasn’t sure for a while, but I did. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good film, but there’s something [...]
Matrix Revolutions. What can I say. If you liked the second one, you’ll like this one, if not, you probably won’t. There’s a lot less action inside the matrix, and a lot more in the real world, but the pace doesn’t slow. If anything, it increases. There’s less of the long-winded philosophy of the second [...]
In America is all about a family of Irish Immigrants in modern day New York. It’s really good – the adults are good and the kids are great. Not all of it’s great, but it’s well worth seeing. (full)(full)(full)(full)(empty)
Intolerable Cruelty Stars George Clooney as a divorce attorney and Catherine Zeta-Jones as a serial divorcee. This was great. I’ve seen a lot of people saying that the Coen brothers have lost their sting, but I don’t see that at all. I wasn’t sure about the ending, which is probably keeping this film from the [...]
Down With Love stars Renee Zelwegger, Ewan McGregor and David Hyde Pierce.
Apparently this movie plays off some Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies from the 60s. Although I like older films. I haven’t seen any of these specific ones, so I’m sure I missed things. That’s the only explanation I can give for how [...]
Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003) stars Reese Witherspoon. Within 10 Seconds I was asking myself – “What’s happening?” I enjoyed the first film a lot – it was a lot of fun, bright and bubbly, exactly the way ot looked. This one has killed the series. The beginning is what does the [...]
The Four Feathers stars Heath Ledger, Wes Bentley, Djimon Hounsou and Kate Hudson. This is a good old fashioned movie. I don’t mean just because the action takes place in the 1800s, but just that it’s a good story well told. It is a remake of an older film, but it has been well made, [...]
