Posted: 1/23/2004A review of Cold Mountain by altaji
I don't understand how could someone have so much love or passion for someone else when they hardly know each other. I am talking here about Kdman and Law. Not only love and passion, but it turns into an immediate sexual act without even developing the relation between them to a point where sex is at least a natural outcome of that relation. Movies like this one are absolutely ridiculous because they don't spend enough time, albeit important time on seeing a relation progressing between the main characters of the movie. I think that this is crucial and important to do, so that viewers can have a sense of time and place and a gradual understanding of the build up of relation between the characters. I have to see a progression of events and/or relations between characters to really appreciate and understand the full scope and the full message of the movie.

There are almost not enough words to describe Feinnes performance in this film, absolutely astounding, spectacular performance. I have seen very few actors in modern cinema who can do what Feinnes has done. This movie digs deep into the mind of a psychopath, the mind of a tormented soul and a secluded person. Feinnes character is the product of the Western industrial society's psychological decay and psychological isolation, at its height. I felt serious sadness and guilt to know that someone else in the world lives a life similar to the character portrayed in this movie. Think of all the people who's Feinnes characterhe came into contact with in the moviw, they are all socially troubled, they are all missing the right social formula or perhaps missing something in their personalities, they are all lacking confidence and full of fear and shy. The film sheds a light on a serious psychological problem in the West. For instance, one out of every 20 people in this country suffers from some form of schizophrenia, though it may not be in the severe case like this film. Cronnenberg film is a must see for those who look for complex movies and need to know anything about the tormented life of people with multiple personalities. Just think of the lonliness and isolation, or the deprivation of the character that is portrayed in this movie. <br>Reccomend: Three faces of Eve (Joanne Woodward-Lee J. Cobb- 1957).

Does not do justice to the real Luther. Really disappointing. A movie about Luther or any biography movie should be at least earthshaking......these people influenced human history.

A slightly complicated movie like this should keep everyone at the edge of their seats especially in the end knowing the reason for all this confusion in the movie. Thrilling but only to a certain point.

Posted: 2/1/2004A review of The Missing by altaji
Let's face it Tommy Lee is not good in Westerns. It is not his style. Everyone else in the movie was okay except him, he was missing with bad acting. He looked stupid in the movie. Movie would have been fine if another actor is in the lead role not Tommy Lee.!!

Great sci-fi. I enjoyed this movie a lot. Hope to see more movies like this. There is a habit in Hollywood movies where the star of a movie is always having marital problems, divorced, separated, widow or whatever. Even in Sci-Fi's this is an inescapable fact!.

Posted: 1/26/2004A review of The Last Samurai by altaji
There is a lot to talk about in this movie. Cruise is fine.....(I guess)!. Complicated movie not because it is difficult to understand..not at all.....but complicated because of the 360 degrees change of heart by one man. I mean did that happen because of his hatred to his boss, or because he really loved the Samurai culture, because logically technology and modern state warfare must replace archaic forms of fighting. But the American hero is impacted emotionally rather than practicaly. However, I understand the movie is about fiction and Tom Cruise.

this movie is junk. The ending is stupid, not worth your money. The Hulk is suppose to be a unique character among the superheroes, this movie destroys him. Hulk special effects are okay.
