styxkhey Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 IMDb Movie of the Day What does Kissing Jessica Stein, a romantic comedy about two women who tentatively embark on a neurotic relationship, have in common with... Matt Damon and Ben Affleck? Jennifer Westfeldt and Heather Juergensen were two unknown writer/actresses with an Off-Off Broadway sketch comedy concept about two Laura Ashley "girly-girl" types who meet at a day spa and try to figure out how they could become lesbians. But what started out as a spoof took on more dimensions, and soon enough, inspired by the success of Good Will Hunting, User Comments: 1 out of 2 people found the following comment useful:-Bad even for a kids movie., 27 August 2006 Author: steven12677 from United States This movie seemed like it was put together very quickly in both plot and graphics. My two daughters were ready to go 30 minutes before the end of the movie which rarely happens when we go to the theaters. This was a Nickelodeon Production and it would have been better if they had released it on the t.v. station. The animation itself in some parts was o.k. but the plot was horrible. A classic tale of a son trying to fulfill a fathers expectations is used in a lot of kids movies, but the animation or graphics need to be really good to keep a childs attention. This was not the case with this film. There were also awkward elements between the lead male character and the lead female character that the plot could have done without Quote Link to comment

styxkhey Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 One Of The Best Movie "Gifts" I've Gotten This Year..., 26 July 2006 Author: Christopher T. Chase (cchase@onebox.com) from Arlington, VA. It is very rare to see a movie that can charm the hell out of an audience without the use of special effects, worn-out clichés and bombastic action set pieces these days. It's even more ridiculous to hope that you will see such a film for FREE. But that's exactly what happened to me tonight at a sneak preview of LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.

Are there no good horror/mystery/thrillers being made any longer?, 31 August 2006 Author: tiktokofoz (tiktokofoz@aol.com) from United States I have never seen the 1973, older highly rated version. I am a Nicholas Cage fan (by the way, fine acting as usual). This movie probably took all of five minutes to hammer out the whole plot (I can see it being done on a cocktail napkin at a dinner party), if you can't figure out the ending of this drool in the first thirty minutes you will probably find this movie entertaining. This is, of late, the terrible rut that Hollywood seems to have dug for itself with the horror/mystery/thriller genre, unable to give the audience enough credit and write a fresh, smart, and tantalizing screenplay, they dish out some creepy music and throw in a couple of things to make you jump a little and then send the final print off to your local theater.

styxkhey Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 One for the Ages, 30 July 1998 Author: Boyo-2 This movie re-wrote film history in every way. No one cares what anyone thinks about this movie, because it transcends criticism. Every flaw in the movie is easily overcome by the many amazing things the movie has going for it. It is an extremely beautiful movie, and I doubt many of us will see anything like it again. I've seen it more times than I care to count, and I still become transfixed every time, with a feeling which is hard to describe. One for the ages.

This movie is okay., 30 November 2005 Author: Jessica Kolk from Brazil Of all the Harry Potter's movies, I guess the ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'' was the more more expected of all. I was one of the thousands of teenagers who wanted to watch this movie so badly and I watched it in the first week it came here in Brazil. After 4 Harry Potter's movies, now I feel comfortable to say that the first movie is the one I liked the least. Maybe because it is the one who has less adventure or danger of all, but I cannot say exactly why. I think it will be very difficult for me, being crazy for Harry Potter's books, to give 10 in any of the H.P.'s movies, since the book is SO MUCH better than any of the films. I mean, MANY great parts are never showed in the movies. But if you are one of those people who never read any Harry Potter book, this film will be of vital importance to watch since it is the first of the series. Obviously not a great fantasy film, but surprisingly, a good one, 28 November 2002Author: Spleen from Canberra, Australia This is undeniably a better film than the last one, which is odd, since it's also undeniable that the second book is the weakest in the series. But perhaps it's not so odd. The first book, after all, is at its best in the opening chapters, in which we, more or less along with Harry, discover that there's a whole world of wizards and witches, that Harry is both talented in magic and an inadvertant celebrity, etc. It was these opening chapters that Coloumbus most thoroughly muffed when he made the screen version. In the first book, nothing that happens at Hogwarts can live up to the promise of the opening; in the first film, the arrival at Hogwarts is a relief after all the dutiful but tedious exposition. Great Movie, 21 November 2005 Author: tlohse77 from United States This is a awesome Harry Potter Movie It is really pretty well done with a dark and spooky feel It almost made me wet my pants and I'm 28 years old. Yeah there is some stuff left out that was in the book but there is plenty of action and effects. Its a must see for all fans of the books and movies. This movie is the best of the series to date. I can't wait for the DVD to find out if there's anything added that was left out of the film. This movie is best on the big screen. The young actors are growing up well. I'm afraid that pretty soon they will be too old for there roles in the film. I know some people probably won't like this film too much and its not for the really young kids but Its a great film and I would not miss it for the world. Quote Link to comment
styxkhey Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 10 Dead Man's Chest's out of 10, 7 July 2006 Author: cathdoh from Australia I have been to see this movie twice, and it has only been out in Australia for two days. I am an enormous Johnny Depp fan and so of course I had to see the very first session of this movie. The main question I wanted answered was, "Would this movie live up to the legend that was The Curse of the Black Pearl?" I am pleased to tell you that not only does this movie live up to the BP, it exceeds it. DMC is amazing!! The acting is exquisite, the special effects are astonishing, the music is inspiring, the jokes are endless, the storyline is flawless and the ending leaves you satisfied though still wanting more and wishing that we were just a little bit closer to May, 2007. 10 Dead Man's Chest's out of 10, 7 July 2006 Author: cathdoh from Australia I have been to see this movie twice, and it has only been out in Australia for two days.

Hail The Heroes!, 18 December 2002Author: docmonster Every great adventure story worth telling has a solid hero - someone who puts others before themselves and uses their talents to do their best at keeping the forces of evil at bay even if it means the loss of life and limb. At its core, this movie has eight such heroes and each one lives up to the call. From Pippin and Merry, the lost hobbits who aid the Ents in battle, to Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas who held back the hordes at Helms Deep to Frodo and Samwise who continue to make their dangerous and arduous trek to Mount Doom. All of these characters are heroes and they're played with love, respect and meaning Quote Link to comment
