I just don't happen to like puzzle films of any kind, but I must credit Mr. Cronenberg with more intellectual depth than most of his fellow pessimistic movie pranksters.
This movie is one the whole family can and should watch together.\nIt shows how each of us touch the lives of others and can be a lesson to all.\nA good example of the old Biblical lesson of \"as ye sow, so shall ye reap!\"
I Want to Believe is too little, too late: a timid stab at reviving 1990s terror tropes in an age when the fuzzy fear of sci-fi has been replaced by darker and more real stories narrated by al-Qa'eda and CIA Black Ops teams.
From a bevy of cheesy jolt scares (alarm clock! barking dog!) to the embarrassing sight of Zellweger and Ian McShane treating this Orphan-style B-movie silliness with grave seriousness, the film proves to be one hokey-horror riot.
Case 39 isn't full of suspense or terror, but for those who cannot stand too much excitement, this movie is for you. There are times I don't want to watch something too scary, so this movie was just right. I think the acting was great. Renee always does a great job.
Despite its hipster-coffeehouse soundtrack, foul mouth, randy characters, and violent patches, Wilby is wholesome and ultimately remarkable for its optimism.
