I admit that I had low expectations going into this movie. I wasn't a fan of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? when it was on television (is it still on the air? I have no idea). I'm not a fan . . .

I like Julia Ormond. I think she's a lovely, talented actress. However, I've been disappointed with her choices of roles on many occasions. This is one of them.

I didn't expect to like this movie. In fact, I'd avoided watching it in the past.
I don't know if you can "like" this movie. It's very affecting, and held my attention . . .

Tim Burton's excellent retelling of Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd:The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is dark and macabre - as it should be.

Who can write about Ben-Hur and not mention the deservedly-famous chariot race? 47 years later, it's still the most exciting 17 minutes on film.
The movie is certainly long in places, but it's . . .

A fun and funny mix of two oil-and-water genres: Westerns and Zombie movies. Elmer is a Union deserter on the run, and Luke is a cowboy with a broken heart. Elmer is a slick con-man type. Luke is...not . . .

Very looong and drawn-out account of what made Jesse James a popular hero, despite his being a racist, secessionist, thief and murderer, and why Robert Ford was deemed a coward for shooting him. . . .

I'm not sure what prompted me to watch this. Perhaps it was surprise that Anne Hathaway - who I find adorable and charming - was nominated for an Oscar for her performance. I'm pretty sure I've . . .

This film got terrible reviews, much of it deservedly. It's really not very good. However, it's really no worse than any of the other slice-and-dice films out there. In fact, the violence is marginally . . .

It begins well, with an introduction by Robert Osbourne, declaring this one of his favorite movies, and giving a history of Jules Verne in film. The perky, playful theme music leads you not to take this . . .
