McCarthy's ferocious tale gives the Coens room to unleash their cinematic gifts, but keeps them from wandering too far afield and losing themselves in the marshes of technical prowess or easy irony.
I saw this movie in the theater and really enjoyed it. I found it to be interesting, original and unforgettable. When Walmart priced the Blu-ray unde $6, I had to have it! The movie looks and sounds great and the extra features shed a lot of light on the events in the movie.
Eat Pray Love is a two hour and fifteen minute ad for being rich; it's a smug, patronising travelogue that -- despite its already apt title -- could have also been called First World Problems: The Movie.
For all its meditations on romantic disappointments, this is a slight, sunny film. Anyone in need of some superior escapism should see it straightaway.
Though Cartagena in the late 19th Century is beautifully evoked in director Mike Newell's visually sumptuous film, there's something missing at the core of this love story.
Javier Bardem was Oscar-nominated for his performance and the film got a nod for best foreign-language film, but don't let that fool you; it's a stodgy, self-important slog.
The only reason to watch this movie is Javier Bardem. He is outstanding in it. It is a difficult subject matter, but he makes you care for his character. I wasn't a huge fan of the story, but I liked him.
If ever there was a film that deserved to get the proverbial bump from Oscar, this is it. Rarely has any film so focused on death felt so vibrantly alive.
The Dancer Upstairs is, like its director, sleek, mysterious and intelligent. But until its last-half hour or so, it is also, unfortunately, mind-numbing.
I have no compulsion whatsoever in declaring Skyfall, in terms of cinematography, the best looking Bond film ever ... Action movies simply don't look like this - but ... this is no ordinary action movie.
As a Lifetime Lover of the 007, James Bond thrillers, this IS, without a doubt, the DEFINITIVE 007 thriller you MUST get! To fully understand some of the events in this flick, you should see the two prior 007 movies, Casino Royal, and Quantum of Solace.\nI have ALL but ONE of the James Bond 007 movies, and this one is THE BEST!
Craig is the best Bond in years! Some the technical points were poor but movie was outstanding. New characters were introduced and one senior was removed as the drama of 007 continues.
There's a phoniness to the film's people and places that keeps us at a fatal distance from the big ideas with which 'To the Wonder' seeks to engage us.
