I can safely say that Munich is a well crafted film. Spielberg presents a sobering and serious character study of a man given a grisly and dangerous assignment. The film itself is engrossing,...

Comments:

Some images and scenes are breathtakingly beautiful.

Most of the voiceover work is campy, silly, and just plain juvenile.

There is no grace or fluidity to the narrative like there...

"Flightplan"






Spoilers!

Is it film heresy to say that I prefer both "Star Wars" and "The Godfather" as opposed to the second films in their respective trilogies?

I just purchased "Open Range" on DVD. I enjoyed this western in the theater and feel that Costner and Duvall make a good team. Watching it again, I feel the story is a bit cliched but acting and...

I still think "Bottle Rocket" is my favorite Wes Anderson film. I felt he was trying a little too hard to be clever in some of his later efforts. Owen Wilson's debut in "Bottle Rocket" was the best...

>>Do I want to be cynical? Fuck no.

But because I have inteligence and because I actually THINK about these things on a regular basis, cynicism is my closest friend.<<

It's far better to be...

"Closer" (2004)

I finally got around to watching this. I've had the disc for ages but never watched the movie. I thought it was a nice change for a relationship movie to be so blunt and...

>>I'm not paralyzed by cynicism- I'm energized by it- it fuels my life choices.<<

That's very telling. You should examine that statement and decide if that is how you want to be. It's a road to...

>>It doesn't matter how many attacks are prevented- it's the few that do happen that negate it all.<<

WRONG. It does matter and each time terrorists fail innocent lives are saved. Each attack that...

O.K. no taking shots at Jennifer Connolly. Gorgeous creature that she is...:)

>>You can't fight terrorism.<<

LOL! That's like saying you can't pick weeds in your garden.

Thank God a defeatist doom-and-gloom pessimist like you wasn't elected during this challenging...

I saw "Wedding Crashers". Certainly not an "art film" by any stretch of the imagination, but very funny in parts.

Vince Vaughn is rarely used properly. I thought he was, for the most part, quite...

Johann:

You are seriously missing the point. You can criticize Bush all you want. The left often needs PEOPLE it can attack because it cannot debate on principle.

The enemy that we face today...

Tabuno:

Even I have my limits...I think 40,000,000 sex slaves would be pushing it. ;)

>>he's dead now because of Bush.<<

That's not true and you know it. Everyone who has seen action has issues with losing people they know and love. People die because choppers crash, missiles...

>>I know what you REALLY hate Steve. It's not that I'm right, it's that I'm right and I am not an American.<<

I don't really care that you are not American. In fact, it would probably disturb me...

>>President Johann would train a small group of "assassins" to smoke Bush out of his ranch at 2am and put him on trial for


WAR CRIMES<<

It is asinine statements like these which destroy any...

>>Kay's report is just that: a report.<<

Kay was sent in to find facts and gather evidence regarding Iraq's capabilities

>>These geniuses decided that it was enough to go to war.<<

Uhhh, It...

Tabuno: I feel the "gap" is a straw man. It depends on how MANY poor you are talking about. It's important to remember that even the "poor" in the western world enjoy the highest standard of living...

>>No WMD's is proof.<<

Clandestine WMD programs are proof of a threat. State sponsorship of terror has been proven. If you can't connect those dots Johann. I can't help you.


>>Bush's father...

I think we've gone over this territory before so I don't wish to start a non movie related thread. I merely responded to some allegorical inferences about "War of the Worlds"

Loony conspiracy...

>>Iraq is the culmination of a business chase that began with George Herbert Walker Bush and is continuing under George W. Bush.

There are photos on the net of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with...

Johann,

I'm not sure you have responded to the content of what I wrote or if this is just a latent pent-up response to the last exchange

>>the fact is war should be an absolute, final,...

>>Let's keep it as simple as possible. War/fighting has been used as a solution for eons and what has it proved?

It Doesn't work!<<

Are you totally blind? Of course it works: The Civil War...
