Review of The Magdalene Sisters (2002)

By John R (2,501) on 04 Aug 2008

Big surprise how great this movie was. Unknown and unheralded, it carries itself well with some great performances…

Review of St. Elmo's Fire (1985)

By John R (2,501) on 04 Aug 2008

Ah, the Brat Pack at their peak. Too bad this movie is a mess. Just a jumble of scenes which barely hold together…

Review of Courage Under Fire (1996)

By John R (2,501) on 04 Aug 2008

Ryan's greatest dramatic role, I think. She has little screen time, but dominates the movie. Well done…

By John R (2,501) on 04 Aug 2008

Amazingly, Jennifer Aniston's acting was great in this movie, but the story was unimaginative and predictable…

Review of Eye of the Beholder (1999)

By John R (2,501) on 04 Aug 2008

Loved the way it started, but then slowly the movie lost it's way. Became the standard Hollywood thriller, instead of mysterious moody film…

Review of Sliding Doors (1998)

By John R (2,501) on 04 Aug 2008

I didn't really care for either Paltrow. The whole back and forth bit was tiring…

Review of Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)

By John R (2,501) on 04 Aug 2008

Just didn't care that much for this. Johansson was okay, but nothing special. Never really liked the painting that much anyway…

Review of Showgirls (1995)

By John R (2,501) on 04 Aug 2008

This is the first time I've seen this movie uncensored. If I were to edit this I thought I would have to make it a short film…

One of my favorite Harrelson performances…

Review of The Manchurian Candidate (1962)

By John R (2,501) on 04 Aug 2008

Brilliantly done, even if it's a bit red menace around the edges. Lansbury steals every scene she's in…

Review of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)

By John R (2,501) on 03 Aug 2008

Classic little guy against Washington corruption. A bit overplayed at the end, but Stewart gives it his all…

Review of The Wiz (1978)

By John R (2,501) on 03 Aug 2008

Horrible movie. A ton of stars who all seem out of place. Ross as Dorothy? Oh please…

Review of Y Tu Mamá También (2001)

By John R (2,501) on 03 Aug 2008

A lot of fuss over a movie about immature, irritating boys and the slutty friend they give a ride to. Overrated…

Review of Wag the Dog (1997)

By John R (2,501) on 03 Aug 2008

Back in '97, this plot seemed so controversial. Nowadays, it's just another ignored headline. A movie 10 years ahead of its time…

Review of Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)

By John R (2,501) on 03 Aug 2008

Perfect acting here, funny and quirky and a bit dark. Both Cusacks are good and Driver is as cute as she ever has been…

Review of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

By John R (2,501) on 03 Aug 2008

This has aged wonderfully, if you like the campy, weird plot and the overacting. Too great actresses outdoing each other…
