<P>We don't see many new Christmas specials on network TV these days. Though seasonal programming is certainly one way of confirming that the holidays are upon us, the days of Rankin and Bass regularly crafting stop-motion musical tales are lon… [详细内容]
<P>Experiencing director David Fincher's explosive new film Fight Club is akin to punching a wall of glass with your fist — though the fragments prick and tear at your skin, the pain is mixed with the delirious, reviving feeling of being truly… [详细内容]
<P>I wasn't too enthusiastic about this change of pace from writer Richard Matheson after a diet of his sharp sci-fi and horror tales, but later viewings have softened my views. Terribly romantic story of two star-crossed lovers goes one up on … [详细内容]
This pleasant coming-of-age tale is mostly notable for one of its young stars: Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe. Fans and industry watchers who wonder whether Radcliffe has what it takes to turn his increasingly sophisticated performances in th… [详细内容]
<P>Why is nobody utterly in awe of ghosts in "Over Her Dead Body" and so many other ghostcoms? Here is a supernatural manifestation from another realm, and everybody treats it as a plot device. The movie even drags in a Catholic priest, who see… [详细内容]
<P>Centered on a plucky, chirping elementary school teacher in North London, Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky may, at first, look like a great diversion from the Salford-born director's working-class, kitchen-sink-realism directing style. All the da… [详细内容]
<P>For the second time in two weeks comes a violent movie in which a crime victim turns hunter to extract revenge. Both the Kevin Bacon-starring Death Sentence, the first one out of the gate, and The Brave One seek to exploit middle-class fears… [详细内容]
<P>There are so many movies coming out of Hollywood these days -- and that's not including the numerous semi-indie pictures that have been at least partially bankrolled by big studios -- that it's only natural for moviegoers to suspect that man… [详细内容]
<P>While watching Liar Liar, it occurred to me that the chief problem with this film is that it has a script. If Jim Carrey had been unleashed without such silly, incidental constraints as plot and dialogue, who knows where things might have go… [详细内容]
<P>I generally never expect much from romantic comedies. There’s been a string of so-called rom-coms in the mold of Old School and The Wedding Crashers that maintain the humor and narrative by presenting 90 minutes of a dude and his friends ac… [详细内容]
<P>Simply put, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation is an amazing motion picture. There may be some controversy over whether she truly wrote the screenplay on her own (there are sequences that argue that she at least had help from someone with a… [详细内容]
<P>"Somewhere in Time" wants us to share its sweeping romantic idealism, about a love so great that it spanned the decades and violated the sanctity of time itself. But we keep getting distracted by nagging doubts, like, isn't it a little futil… [详细内容]
<P>First-time feature director David Yates has won a couple of BAFTA Awards and gotten an Emmy nomination, and critical acclaim for such telefilms as Channel 4's Sex Traffic (2004). And the virtues of a top-notch TV director--briskness on budge… [详细内容]
<P>Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. Together. These two fountains of charisma could peel potatoes on-screen and people would line up for miles. Luckily, the stars tackle more substantive material in The Mexican, a quirky melange that defies simple … [详细内容]
<P>Enjoyably silly, surprisingly sweet romcom, despite an over-reliance on gross-out humour.</P>
