Ah, good ol' Neil Simon...

Last pre-Globe predictions for me as well Best Picture Atonement Into the Wild No Country For Old Men Sweeney Todd There Will Be Blood ..."Charlie" isn't getting the love, "Michael Clayton" is still iffy, and my decision to bring "Juno" out will most certainly be rever...

Dreadful as Moulin Rouge! was to many of us, it was beloved by enough people to get itself nominated so his thoughts may well be shared by others. I've come to understand that my tastes differ from the majority of those who visit this board, but THANK GOD that I have company in the "I hate Mou...

It was a great read, and Eric Roth translated it to the screen pretty darn well compared to what direction he could have taken it in. Many people find Tom Hanks' perfo...

The blood and gore amount is supposedly "cartoonish" from the interviews and reports I've read. If this is the case, can the violence be taken seriously or more of a work of violent fantasy - artistic and tasteful despite the amount? I guess it depends on your opinion on what's artistic. ...
