How can a man who played Dirty Harry will manage the work of this quality? It beggars belief that we have not seen this side more sensitive, honest and substantial from him. Among the performers, Forrest Whittaker is wonderful as Charlie Parker, bringing irony and humor to a role that could be spoiled actor for more than a ‘trophy’.
One of the real triumphs of the film is the music (not surprisingly), which has been re-worked for the original characteristics of Charlie Parker, saxophone backing tracks with completely new and modern. The two are fused together so well, just sounds like a recording made yesterday from the grave.
Any jazz fan would be happy with this, but it’s a human story first, to settle down with a scotch and milk and enjoy.

Some have said that this film is a little more than the bloody and gory. The fact is that according to Isaiah 52 v 14, the prophet describes a man (taken by Christians to be Jesus), which was marred more than any man. Maybe Mel Gibson was not sufficiently graphic?
If you continue to Isaiah 53, you’ll see what it was (for example, verse 5) - If you’ve never considered what Christianity is about a look at the movie and then blow the dust off a family Bible and seek in the Gospels (1 of 4 books in the New Testament) - can only be amazed by what Jesus did and why!

This is a little gem - Any movie that plays The White Stripes’ We’re Going To Be Friends “on its title sequence is my right to vote of the discount! As other reviewers have said, however, definitely not for everyone. So if you think ‘American Pie”Dude, Where’s My Car?”Harold & Kumar Get the Munchies “or even, God forbid,” Meet the Parents “are the pinnacles of modern comedy - and yes, I watched all, for my sins - I’d better avoid this one, because it simply will not succeed.
However, if you have any gray matter and cav’Clerks”’Slackers”Donnie Darko ‘(OK, that’s not strictly a comedy, but I understand) and even’ Twin Peaks’, you probably really enjoy this. It is true that there is little by way of the plot, no great outcome at the end and no copy of the story - that this just fell into the world of Napoleon and left there to deal with it - but the results are delicious (especially Tina Marjorine - you may remember her as the girl with the map tattooed on his back in ‘Waterworld’ - as the love interest of Napoleon “) and photography is exemplary. Almost every frame would make a great poster !
The humor is subtle and observation. There are no “jokes”. And the dance routine from Napoleon, the end is just jaw-dropping.
Do I mean it’s bad or good? Enjoy. Watch the movie and see.
Yes, it was “Napoleon Dynamite” in fact a pseudonym adopted by Elvis Costello at the time of incendiary Blood and Chocolate album. “That should tell you something …

Interstella 5555 is the 5tory of 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. The Japanese manga style film is perfectly accompanied by the album Discovery by the French duo, Daft Punk. The film is about a band that has brought peace to a planet in a star system far away.
When playing one of his songs that are abducted by a registered producer evil that shapes the band perfectly. Is it just to sell records and have greatest band on earth, or is it a much more sinister reason than money?
I’m sure many of you as
I saw the first four songs on the album, and wondered how the story ends? It was not until recently, until the Japanese manga icon Leiji Mastumoto and Daft Punk have teamed up again to finish the 5tory of 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. Although the only sound in this film is the album Discovery It does matter, Mastumoto combine perfectly computerized alternative sounds of Daft Punk with brilliant Japanese animation.
This film is a must for all Daft Punk, music and manga fans alike, and deserves the same rating as that which occurs in the title 5ystem.

I do not think many people have heard of this movie, but well worth seeing, if only for the impressive performance of Jean Seberg. She plays a spoiled teenager who is vacationing in the French Riviera with her father (David Niven), a widower with a constant supply of young brides.
The mixture is Deborah Kerr, who tries to impose some discipline in the life of the child, after agreeing to marry Niven, with negative consequences. The film is well acted by Niven and Kerr, but Seberg is particularly effective as the adolescent adorable / horrible who realizes too late that his plans may have unpleasant consequences. Beautifully photographed in Cinemascope, with some sequences in black and white, but especially in dazzling Technicolor.
Not everyone’s taste, this film will appeal to fans of 1950 of Douglas Sirk or “type films Peyton Place.

Lage Raho Munnabhai makes you laugh, makes you mourn and, in parallel to all attractions, there is a message that sticks in the mind. Lage Raho Munnabhai is one of the best films to come out of Bollywood this year. The script is exceptionally well written by Hirani and Abhijat Joshi.
The background music complements the script and songs are not the least intrusive. Rajkumar Hirani s yokes address all elements of movie making in a coherent, meaningful and, above all, the entertainment package called Lage Raho Munnabhai.
The film is a first class artist. Not a single dull moment in it.
A must-see.

This film is a good testiment to the look of Superman, Christopher Reeves, the original soundtracks used gave a sense of continuity from the original movies. With a completely new cast and characters and good actors, the film makes you feel nostalgic and enjoyable to watch.
The story is well written and played, but more action would have helped the story to add more excitement. Kevin Spacey as usual, adds a factor of great villain like Lex Luthor and Brandon Routh does a great job of bringing the Man of Steel to life.
Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane was not the best option, but did not play badly. The film, like some funny moments and a heart tugging sense of well being, well worth seeing.

Sober and realistic account of flying the 9 / 11 passengers when it was reported shot down the terrorist who had hijacked the flight. Prepared with unknown faces to ensure they are not “seeing stars”, that is impressive film that avoids making any sentiment that existed in the previously released cable made for flight ‘93 ‘. The last 20 minutes is really hard to see, and when you stop to consider the implications of the final scenes (which are involved most of their families.) This is a fitting tribute to the incalculable courage and a reminder that we are living in very dangerous times.
This is a film that demands to be seen, but it’s one of those films that will enjoy views of repetition.

That is what this movie should have been called! - It is absolutely horrible.
I do not know how much you like Nuts magazine was paid to call this film, a classic British comedy, but that should really be ashamed of themselves. This whole movie has nothing in common with any of my college days - thank God!
and everyone who saw this deal. Its nothing to do with school, in fact, its almost a class full of crooks do it with their teachers and have found it to be a little fun and if something homosexuals a dis-service as half the characters are being Fart’s - SAY W @ NK! No - repeat, do not hire this film.
If you really want to make your own mind as I often do when people tell me that the movies are sh! T - you can have my copy as stupidly bought it at the ticket price - Message me and the movie is yours!

You may wonder why 4 stars? Well.
. . writing, acting, staging, etc are all brilliant.
Up there with the best of the British sit-coms. Very wonderful, indeed. Funny, warm, tender, funny, sentimental are words that fit very well thanks.
A brilliant work of wonderful cast, along with the two leading right-clicking from the start. What bothers me is that the fact that there are only 3 episodes per disk. For a DVD - that can store hours of material - this is really not enough.
So the good content, but not enough of them.

I love this program - that is certainly my favorite in recent years and is a shame that never took off in the UK. After watching the series 2 and 3 in Australia I bought all the DVD’s from there.
Series 4 had just started when I left. Channel 4 is so mad for not showing this series, since he showed a series at a stupid years.
Although there have recently examined E4 series 3, which was at that time of night does not think anyone even knew was there! C4 allows the petition to bring back this awesome show on the air!
And if you’ve never seen - you will not be disappointed if it does - is simply wonderful, so compelling, sometimes hilarious and in others, and the characters are wonderfully believable - not to mention the superb marvelous set of St Kilda, Melbourne.
