It's interesting how divergent our opinions are on Woody's recent output. I loathed Anything Else, kinda liked Small Time Crooks and Sweet and Lowdown, and really liked Match Point. The reviews kept me away from Jade Scorpion, Hollywood Ending, Melinda and Melinda, and Scoop, and even though I'm a ...

I like The Lion King, too. The animation is gorgeous, it's often very funny, and I think it's a deeply moving and spiritual film as well. That said, the romance IS perfunctory, the film's subtle (well, maybe not so subtle) racism is troubling, and I could have done without some of the flatulence hu...

I adore Beauty and the Beast. It's funny, just today I was thinking about the film because I was listening to the Broadway show soundtrack on my way to work. OscarGuy, I think you are wrong that this was the first Disney film to use CGI, as The Great Mouse Detective got there first. But you are ver...

I saw Song of the South last year for the first time (on Alan Menken's bootleg DVD copy, no less.) While its racial stereotypes are certainly troubling, I was shocked at how tame the film seemed in comparison to others from the era. (Gone With the Wind's racial stereotypes are FAR more problematic,...

Cruz was terrific in Volver; it's an absolutely luminous performance and I never thought she had it in her. I was yelping alongside Salma Hayek when I heard her name read. Blanchett is of course the superior actress, but I agree with Sabin: while she does fine work in Notes on a Scandal, I think a ...

I have to agree with Magilla on Penélope Cruz. I view her revelatory work in Volver as the beginning of what could be a new period for her career, in which she moves from media starlet to serious actress. (Then again, I said the same thing about Halle Berry and that fizzled pretty quickly, but I se...
