George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" is a tight, enthralling, intensely concentrated film that takes us back to the Scoundrel Time of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's Communist witch hunt, and relates how a courageous band of reporters at CBS News,...

George Clooney's black and white feature is about journalist Edward R. Murrow's effort to challenge the methods of Senator Joseph McCarthy during the 1950's when he actively investigated and indicted members of the entertainment, media, and...

I'm so tired of Hollywood rehashing the McCarthy era. Most recently it was "The Majestic"; before that, "The Contender"; before that, "The Crucible," and before *that*, "Guilty By Suspicion." Give us a break. The only thing that redeems this...

There are only two words that I have to say about "October Sky"... It's one of the best movies i've ever seen! Actually...thats about nine words, but, you get the point!

The movie wasn't awful, but it was certainly nothing exceptional. The (true) story was interesting enough, but the film followed that same pattern we've all seen a hundred times before: poor boy from a dying town has a dream, and with the help...

October Sky is based from a true story about a guy who builds a rocket that rockets itself to orbit . This movie had good acting and good sequences but it had some unexcited moments and some confusing story plots but it's a must-see.

I've seen this movie at least 30 times and it's still a lot of fun. If you haven't seen it yet, allow me to recommend it to you as one of those *few* movies: it's clean, funny, won't put you to sleep, has no surprise sexual scenes - your entire...

As I watched the credits roll at the end of this movie, I sat there stunned! Wondering to myself when the movie was going to actually Start, Much less end? THIS MOVIE WON AN OSCAR? WHAT A JOKE! I Really like Morgan Freeman, his mere presence in...

great movie, very watchable... too bad it's not available in widescreen like it was on laserdisc. poor picture quality, poor sound quality -- this one's for the diehard "Miss Daisy" fan.

Not only does Babette's Feast relate to our epicurean senses, but our souls are drawn toward the search for fulfillment and resolution. Martin and Philippa have denied the world what God rightly blessed them. Spurred on by a pious, yet selfish...

This movie would have made a nice 30 minute short film. The final 30 minutes showing the "feast" is somewhat entertaining but the 70 minutes leading up to it will put you to sleep.

I thought that Les Miserables was the best movie I've seen. The critics gave it a bad grade, but everyone who seen it including me loves it. It has a good plot of good and evil.

The acting was the best I've seen, and the casting was good but what a disgrace!!! Whoever wrote this play needs a CAT scan b/c there has to be something mentally wrong with them! Victor Hugo wrote an incredibe book that was overwriten by some...

The most engaging aspects of the film are the scenes focusing on the confrontation between the protaganist Valjean and the antagonist Javert. The opposing characters are played with conviction by Liam Neeson and Geoffrey Rush. Especially...

Old fashioned, entertaining movie. Well acted, one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. "The Majestic" proves that a movie can be well done without the strong language and violence of most movies today. Hopefully we'll see more movies...

Jim Carrey seems to be making a bid for a little gold statue to place on the mantle, but "The Majestic" isn't going to be the film to do it. Incredibly long (over 2.5 hours), hackneyed emotion and a the entire blacklisting aspect is so poorly...

"The Majestic" was almost a good movie. I am not a Jim Carrey fan at all at all. But he is much better doing drama than comedy, I think even though his loyal fans would disagree.

The story line did make me think of a combination of "It's a...

Start with Leo's phoney southern drawl, throw in Scorsese's tedious vignettes about Hughes' madness, and you'll be looking for the door half way through.

For such an interesting and charismatic character as Hughes must have been, Leo...

Martin Scorsese's long-awaited biography of the infamously eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes is an ambitious, visually dazzling, atmospheric period piece that is, in the end, disappointingly flat. For the first half of the movie or so, I...
