Is there anyone that thought that Hunger Games was made for anyone else?
It seems that the aim of the film was to make Marilyn a cuddly little nymph for young Colin's pleasure. I thought the performances were mediocre at best. Branagh is no Sir Laurence Olivier.
Started out promising, but in the end was no more than an Austrian version of Friday the 13th.
I enjoyed this film all the way around. Super performances. I wanted more.
A moveable feast of sight, sound and even smell in this deeply evocative interpretation of Dr. Faustas. There is virtually constant movement in this film, as Faust is led through every nook and cranny of his medieval by a devil of a man, until emerging into unknown terrain.
I think persons need to understand that this film was made with young teens in mind, hence a PG-13 rating.
Looks like Roman played this one mostly for uneasy laughs. Not much to it.
I found myself enjoying Day Watch much more than Night Watch. Everyone seems much more comfortable in their roles and Bekmambetov was having a lot of fun with his characters.
Sad to say, not much there except some beautiful cinematography.
So many facets to the story, and very well told.
Really liked this movie. Had a few holes but none too big to fall into.
I will say this, the film sucks you into its orbit.
Great story but Elijah Wood's character was insufferable to watch.
A wonderful homage to the power of invention and the cinema.
Never moved beyond a homage to Hollywoodland. Disappointing.
Not that I have much sympathy for Kevin Smith or Matt Stone, but fun to see how the process works.
Timur plays this one like a chess game, but would have been more effective if he had dialed back on a notch on the pyrotechnics.
It was watchable with an interesting cast that went onto better movies.

These guys have Alvin and the Chipmunks beat hands down!
Uggh! What was James Brooks thinking?
A little too straight in telling, especially for someone named "Gogol."
Here's a short clip, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrmtOqHVh6w
Dates from 1974, not 2003.
I had forgotton how moving this film was.
Long on images, short on emotions.
Surprised to see such a low average rating. This to me is the quintessential James Bond.
The Cold War takes a lovely new look in Daniela Bianchi. Great supporting cast.
I was pretty much indifferent. I thought he created a number of compelling scenes, but that the stories themselves were weak and the links little more than a conceit.
Who'd ever think you could get so much out of an auto mechanic and umbrella sales girl ; )
Never was much of a Spiderman fan in pulp or cinematic form, but this one was really the pits. Rami borrowed liberally from near and far giving us a regurgitated action movie with the oddest of super-villains: Thomas Hayden Church and Topher Grace. Come on, Sammy you can do better than this.
