Hart's War-if you're looking for a different kind of POW story

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 8 Sep 07

If you're looking for action in your war film skip this one. But if you don't mind an interesting drama about prejudice among Americans in a German POW camp, which although slow at times, leads to an interesting pay-off with a...

Two Week--really touched by this movie

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 8 Sep 07

I had the opportunity to see this movie and I was very touched by the performances.^_^ It made me laugh, cry and sometimes both at the same time. I was very impressed by the actors and I thought they accurately portrayed what a...

Civic Duty--a true masterpiece

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 8 Sep 07

This movie is as good as you'd expect. ^_^ You get slowly dragged into the world of anti-terrorist paranoia through the eyes of one character that creates a dillusion we can all empaphise with but he takes it to a level we...

Lucky You---a decent, entertaining if not great movie

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 8 Sep 07

Lucky You is simply a nice romantic date movie without the thrills and complexity nor gimmicky twists that usually occur in the movie. It avoids the bovious stereotypes and plots and focus not on the game of poker but on the...

Whisper---

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 8 Sep 07

In the dead of winter, the kidnapping of a young boy results in fatal consequences in the supernatural thriller Whisper. Max's last resort and only remaining choice is to team up with two shady associates hired by an absent...

Crazy Love-superb

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 4 Sep 07

An absolutely riveting documentary about two of the strangest people I've met on movie. Such an interersting look into the obsessive side of relationships. I saw it at Sundance and was floored. Complex characters brought to...

The Great American Chase-the cartoon shorts stand on their own better

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 4 Sep 07

A wide selection of cartoon shorts starring most all the Warner Bros.characters and is tied together by new animation featuring Bugs Bunny talking in a large mansion. The cartoons are hit-and-miss and when they are all put...

The Glove-decent

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 4 Sep 07

This movie isn't the best thing I've ever seen, but as a fun PI flick from the late seventies it gets the job done and has a quirky personality of its own. In other words, it isn't an exploitation classic or an ultraviolent...

I'm Reed Fish--love it!

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 4 Sep 07

I saw this movie today, and think that it is a sure hit.. I have been to the festival for the past 5 years and this movie is one of very few that has stuck out. Based on the budget and the amount of time that this movie was...

The Monster Squad-great movie

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 4 Sep 07

This is the first all time best family/horror flick you can see. When I was in preschool I use to watch this movie all the time. Over, and over. And I blame this one single movie for my great taste in cheesy, violant,...

Dark Passage-a great movie

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 4 Sep 07

Bogart made three unforgettable landmark films: Maltese Falcon, Big Sleep, and Dark Passage. Of the three, Dark Passage is the least known, which is tragic, because it measures up to the other three and in many ways surpasses...

Romeo and Juliet-great movie but no awards

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 4 Sep 07

Although this early version of the Shakespeare classic is excellent, it won on awards. In fact, Norma Shearer's performance was the only one in the picture that was "over the top", and most critics agreed that she was too old to...

Renaissance--great visuals, great story!

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 4 Sep 07

I just came back from a pre-release viewing of this excellent sci-fi film noire. It's style is definitively unique and very well made. It is filmed with actual actors, but transformed into a black and white comic-strip style...

Big Wednesday----watch it again

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 4 Sep 07

I'm watching this movie for the third time. I leave a lot time in between repeats, in this case 5 years. It's a good example of how art reflects reality in respect to the characters. One of the goofs for the movie isn't in...

Delta Farce---despite the ill comments this is a funny movie

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 25 Aug 07

I'm not sure I understand some really hateful comments on this move. I found it funny, in a lightly-spirited way, entertaining enough to keep me watching it to the end. Nice characters, funny story and, well, laughable...

Flyboys---Entertaining

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 25 Aug 07

Very Entertaining. I will recommend it. Attention to detail was very factual, such as filing the bullets so they wouldn't jam and the Spandaus having to be hand cocked. Drideckers, the three winged Fokkers; did not enter...

4: Rise of the Silver Surfer

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 25 Aug 07

I think it's safe to say that when it comes to special effects we have no more expectations, they all nail it these days. This effects kicked in the world of the movies, the good old script got a good kick in the nuts and can...

Fong juk--not a prequel nor a sequel

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 25 Aug 07

Stylistically this movie is perfect. But what a strange style? A kind of Hong Kong action Western?? Again, Johnnie to shows his craft in building up and letting go of tension like the back of his hand. Supported by almost the...

Next---very good

russelcrowe @russelcrowe (279) • China 25 Aug 07

A lot of people say it was boring with no plot twists. Well they must of been watching a different movie. First the ending was really unexpected and you don't see it coming. Second there was a lot of suspense. You get so into...
