Ok i'll respond, since i feel this is a great film. I agree with what you said about daniels character, i feel the same way about him as you do, but i don't see that as making the film any less watchable, this story isn't about the developement of his character, its about the developement of the ki...

Ok i finally saw the squid and the whale....so i'll comment on that one. The best film i've seen so far this year. It's really a great story with great characters. Brilliantly written and directed by noah baumbach. Jeff Daniels plays the lead of the film...the father of the family the film is about...

I guess this is a good time to comment on Good Night, and Good Luck....probably the best i've seen this year....though not a perfect 5 stars for me. Probably a very high 4 and a half....i agree with the last poster, in saying at times i felt like a student watching this film. But at the same time, ...

Batman Begins I just saw this for the second time so i thought i'd talk about this now. A great film, probably will be one of the my ten best at the end of the year. I have to give my upmost respect to christopher nolan, he's 3 for his last 3...probably couldn't have done a better job with memento,...

I'll add another crappy review, not the movie, but my review. Shopgirl I have to say i liked this film a lot. I can't give it 4 out of 5 stars though. I can give it 3 and a half. It's a very good story, very good acting, and very good work from the director...nothing great at all though. And 4 star...

I've been posting on and off on this site for about 8 years now, and i figured i'd start again....i saw 2 films this week and thought i'd tell you what i thought, in a few sentences. Two for the Money Nobody has even rated this film on this site, not that it deserves it. I see most films that are r...

I do think goodfellas is an amazing film, and it would have been my number 1 that year even if the year was a lot better. But it wasn't. I'm glad you appreciated Pacino's performance though, so many people talk to trash about it. I agree the film didn't deserve the nomination but he did. I also love...

I think you should give Pacino's performance another look. I don't think it should have won, or it's even in his top 5 best, but its not horrible, it probably should have been nominated. But 1992 was bad, I loved Unforgiven(and eastwood's performance) and i though Malcolm X couldn't have been much ...

I'd also love to see your rankings of these. I prefer chinatown over cuckoo's nest but i think jack was a little better in cuckoo's nest. But was fantastic in both, i don't know if anyone will ever have two performances as great as these in consecutive years. But here goes. 1)Jack Nicholsen 2)Marlo...
