Gentle Spirit

Impressive! The inclusion of the fly is going to keep this on my mind for a while.

Gentle Spirit

Beautiful!

Adrift

If ever I'm talking about the photographic or sensitive eye in cinema, this is where I will start.

The Ides of March

Simplistic and anti-climactic, but that cast sure can hold its own.

    that's about the only thing that they could hold. talk about an amateur script!

A Boy and His Dog

Comes at you sideways -- I read in that dog's face a frustration for the ages!

Highlander

I love looking at this film. I hate looking at this film.

Highlander

The hilarity factor here should not be discounted!

Perhaps it's just years of gaming coming to the fore, but it was almost pleasant to watch this 'feature-length cutscene'. Game logic works throughout, and I felt ready to start a playable sequence after each scene of exposition.

Foxy Brown

Drags along, but is populated with enough hilarious moments to make the trip worth it in the end.

Marathon Man

Beautiful photography and it sets a very peculiar mood, and the cast is excellent! Too bad it throws such a jumble of story elements together.

Hobo with a Shotgun

Just tiresome. After 45 minutes, I just wanted to watch actual 70's grindhouse rather than this self-aware slogfest.

American Pop

It's all so wonderfully clumsy but the passion just oozes out of every scrawled nook and cranny.

Robots

Creative concepts and animation ... just woefully derivative humor and story.

Titan A.E.

A very decent and stylish sci-fi tale... with perhaps one of the more horrid decisions in film concerning its choice of music.

Waterworld

Quite the action romp with a great score, and a well-staged spectacle at that. Ego, pomp, absurdity, and lots of money just crash together in this monument to the mid-90's. Just too damn fun.

River of No Return

Fluff. With a twinkle in its eye, but still fluff.

The Plague Dogs

Here is presented the brutal potential of animation. The Disney/Dreamworks/studio field may feel lopsided, but you can hang your hat on works like this and know the feature form is capable of transcending the commercial reality in which it rests.

The Last Metro

There were many wonderful moments, but one that stuck with me was the German officer who wouldn't let her hand go. The earnest and sick concern on his part, her spiraling need to escape, and the Nazi decor sprawled everywhere up to that point... for a moment there the film was *corrosive* and I felt a hint of what it must have been like to live in occupied France.

Batman Forever

Very funny, super absurd, over-the-top comic style goodness. Folks please stop trying to turn this into a respectable Batman film and enjoy the chaos.

Pink Floyd The Wall

It can run on the merit of its animated sequences alone, but that most pleasant background accompaniment is a fine addition. ;)

Youth Without Youth

This ranges between 1 and 5 stars for a film viewing experience that ended up being one of the finer MST3k-style riff sessions I've had. It's surprising how with a director we all like, an actor we all enjoy, and a great basis from which the story could unfold, we end up with this magical mess of smoke rings and cooling filters which provided two hours of material to poke at.

Ugh, just got back from this dull, dull movie. At best, the most you can hope for are a few funny moments. If it's family movie night just go watch Toy Story 3 again.

Gallipoli

I need to view this film again. What I remember has a way of standing out like few other films, but that could be my seeing it at an early age. Definitely need to re-evaluate this one now that years have gone by.

Spirits of the Dead

Five stars for Toby Dammit (even though he doesn't seem to have any particular interest in my stars).

A Milos Foreman page without Ragtime. Honest to goodness, you website you!

3:10 to Yuma

Contrasted to its very modern remake, the plot runs smoothly with no distraction and the title song lingers longer than any fleeting entertainment can hope for on its own. A fine production and a solid performance by all involved.
