All reviews by user Date  Helpful Rating 0 out of 0 users found this helpful  Paris with a HeartParis is a well written, finely acted film featuring an excellent ensemble cast. The movie's intent seems to be the presentation of the city as a very human abode, not unlike any other major metropolis, but perhaps a little more beautiful. The various storylines are interesting, poignant, and often humorous. It is well worth seeing. Was this review helpful?

This is not a biop of the poet, but deals with the last three years of his life during which he fell madly in love with Fanny Brawne and produced his greatest work. Hopefully this movie will be noticed at awards time. Was this review helpful?

Loved the performances, especially Waltz, Laurent, Bruhl, and Kruger. Its not at all what you expect from the previews-really a conspiracy movie that holds your interest through the last scene. Tarantino is at the top of his game. The film should be mentioned at awards time. Don't be misled by the usual negative reviews here by people who either didn't see it or talked to each other throughout. Was this review helpful?

I appreciated the character development and especially enjoyed Jackie and Malin. The movie was visually pleasing, as well. Good job by all. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1 out of 1 users found this helpful  DisappointingThe flick could and should have been better. The plot was hard to follow and the characters were not engaging enough to really care about. The movie looked good enough and the special effects were impressive. Was this review helpful?

The pace of the film was just right, and it also has a message for young women that is worth heeding. Was this review helpful?

Its about three kids growing up poor in Bombay. One of them reads a lot and makes it big on a game show. If you have seen 'Do You Want to Be a Millionaire', and who hasn't, then you have already seen one third of this movie. It has a happy ending for the two leads, Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto, and their dance number as the credits roll at the end is worth the price of admission. But this film, while very well made, is just plain overrated. I was not engaged by the story or the actors, and found the film lacking in dramatic power. The ending is predictable and not especially satisfying. I guess if you didn't know that India has slums, then this flick may be a revelation. Otherwise, its a good reason to enjoy some popcorn and wait for the ending. Was this review helpful?

The movie is riveting throughout and allows the viewer to personally decide at the end about the important issues raised. Winslet is brilliant and probably will cop an Oscar for her performance.

It has fine performances from the the three principal actors, the best of which is given by young Amy Adams, who brings a fresh, if rather naive honesty to her role as a novice nun. The film seems curiously slow moving and I didn't really feel engaged by the story. This could be because of deficits in the screenplay and direction. Worth a look. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1 out of 1 users found this helpful Tame But PrettyA very nice looking movie with attractive leads and scenery. A weak script dooms the enterprise to mediocrity, however, as I never really got engaged by the plot or actors, though I liked Bryan Brown and the aborigines. Don't spend your last dollar on this one. Was this review helpful? Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful Long OverdueIts been awhile since a relly good western appeared on the big screen. Appaloosa is intelligently written, well acted and directed, and the cinematography is first rate. I liked the climax, which was a surprise but also predictable at the same time. Go see it.

Charlie Young is charmingly beautiful as the fated love interest. The movie got only average critic reviews but I think is a little bit better than that. The climax is rather poignant and intense. Worth a look. Was this review helpful?

It never seems to be going anywhere, and its not all that funny. Robert Downney has some humorous moments, and Tom Cruise is enjoyable in his cameo role. Wait for it to come out on rentals.

The message is very worthwhile-lets take better care of this planet, or else the planet may take care of us. The fine singer and Broadway star, Betty Buckley, has an interesting and frightening turn as a psychotic recluse that Mark Wahlberg stumbles across in his efforts to save himself, his wife, and his friend's daughter. The movie held my interest, and the use of wind and blowing grass was very effective in presenting the horrific danger threatening the lives of the people. Was this review helpful? Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful Fast ForwardThe flick has a lot of action, good acting, and excellent production values. But, it lacks soul. I found it difficult to get involved with the characters and the plot. They are too one dimensional and the plot too predictable. The movie would seem to be a bit overrated, perhaps because of the big names involved in it. Save your money and see it on video. Was this review helpful? Sign In |
