This weekend sees the release of Kimberly Peirce's Stop-Loss, about a soldier who returns from a grueling tour of duty in Iraq only to learn that he's being sent back for another one. The movie's not bad: very passionate, very angry, a bit didactic, and...

No, it won't be a movie based on the duet between Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. It will be a movie version of the Ernest Hemingway novel, posthumously published in 1970, about an American painter who lives the quiet life in the Bahamas and ends up...
Want to know a dirty little secret? Contrary to what you've heard recently, critics hate writing bad reviews. No, they're not fun to write; they're exhausting. No, they're not less work than a good review; they're more difficult. And when you love movies...
The best movie year since 1999, 2007 offered a staggering bounty of cinematic delights. I keep track of all the movies I see in a given year and give each a letter grade, 'A' through 'F'. Usually my Top Ten list consists of all of the 'A's' and a few...

Paul Haggis, how dare you fly my flag upside down. You piece of ****! Tommy Lee. You are supposed to be a serious actor. Why did you sign up to partake in this mockery of a movie.
Some great acting, but a more dishonorable and slanted story line than anyone could imagine. It does a terrible disservice to our service people who put their lives on the line for our freedom. Just m... ore in a long and sad line of Hollyweird propaganda. War is hell, but warriors deserve better than this garbage. Full Review
This is a beautiful movie and among the most moving I have seen in a long time. Tommy Lee Jones is a brilliant actor and brings subtle quietness but determination to this role. The upside down flag ... symbolization is truly dramatic. I can't believe this movie was passed over and that stupid "No Country for Old Men" won a best picture oscar. This was by far a better movie. Full Review
I'm a shamed of Tommy Lee Jones for making such a mockery ofour serviceman. All our soldiers and our president deserve our respect and admiration for a very hard job.
DONT KNOW IF THEY MADE TOMMY LEE JONES TO LOOK OLDER FOR THE PICTURE OR HAS HE REALLY AGED THAT MUCH,LOOKS LIKE 70 SOMETHING.DONT KNOW WHAT HE DID IN THE ARMY,ONLY THAT HE WAS IN VIET NAM. PLOT HARD T... O FOLLOW,MADE NO SENSE WHEN YOU DID FIGURE IT OUT. Full Review
