This movie is a cheese ball. But it's kind of an entertaining "what if" story.

Mike Leigh's characteristically great characters are present, but it certainly isn't his strongest effort.

I was really surprised because Michelle Williams way out-acted Ryan Gosling. Nothing really set this movie apart for me. Kind of typical. Also, they used Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles wayyy too much in the soundtrack.

Not really fun, nor funny. It doesn't explore the nature of celebrity, either, which is what it's attempting to do. Instead, it wastes its time on dumb Bam Margera-esque antics. Could have been entertaining, given how funny the Letterman interview is. But it's really kind of a stupid mess.

This movie made me angry.

It's like National Treasure, but with the Magna Carta instead of the Declaration of Independence.

Is it safe?

The Room, however, is the awesomely hilarious camp fest I thought it would be. The icing on the cake, though, is in the interview Tommy Wiseau does in the DVD extras. Unintentionally funnier than any other movie I've seen in a lonnnng time.

This movie isn't the awesomely hilarious camp fest that I hoped it would be. It's actually not even all that funny, with one awesome exception, which is when the dad gives his "hunger pains" speach.

This is the best film I've seen all year.

Natalie Wood's character in this movie is pretty amusing. She does one thing and one thing only: Swoon.

This movie is pretty cool, despite some dubious science. That mask is creepy!

Fantastic drama, with higher purpose. This is a great, great film.

It was impossible for this movie to recreate the subtle reservation and suspense of the book, I guess. It did everything it could, though. But it still just kind of came off as a mopey romance thing, which is unfortunate. = (

Naive American tourists prevail over corrupt Russian social institutions. Right. Whatever. As the plot of this film unfolds, with the help of several ridiculous plot devices, it clearly reveals its mediocrity. It displayed interesting visual style, and for a while, great suspense. But ultimately...cliche.

The anti-Saving Private Ryan. Actually, it's pretty much the antithesis of every other successful war movie ever made. Filled to the brim with questions regarding nature and the human condition, it is confusing, chaotic, and deeply, richly beautiful.

Beauty. Horror. Tender. Brutal. Time ruins everything. And not only that, the process is irreversible.

A surprisingly bleak masterpiece. One of my favorite Kurosawa films.

Brilliant in every possible way. This and The Wages of Fear remain two of the greatest thrillers ever made.

A very good film, and certainly the best exploration of this kind of subject matter that I've seen. But I wouldn't dare to call this film beautiful.

Greatest war film I've ever seen. Definitely. Without a single doubt.

The scene where the kids go to Okinawa or something and the whole thing is done on this home video grade camera is so wonderful. One of my favorite scenes ever. This is a great movie, which is something that I never would have expected..

Really great. But it never quite became the movie I wanted it to be. Initially it was extremely compelling, but it was kind of bogged down by (what is now) kind of tired gangland drama.

This film has a really beautiful scene, where Erik goes back to Paris and attempts to recreate the past with Kari. That scene alone is enough to make this a movie that I'll covet forever.
