Despite director Spoke Jonze's insistence that 'Where the Wild Things Are' is not a children's film, many families still trooped to theaters expecting something a lot more kid-friendly than the dark, existential art film they got. After all, it's based on...
The stars must have aligned in a whole new way in the DVD universe, because we have an exceptional number of interesting indie release this week. My top pick is Simon Rumley's The Living and the Dead, which my colleague Scott Weinberg described as...
Not many people care to admit it, but Hollywood is run by fear. Fear is an emotion generated by things that are not known or understood, and in the movie business, no one ever knows what's going to happen. (William Goldman was right when he said, 'Nobody...
Oscar night is over, and everyone is basking in the glow of the winners. Or, excuse me, the 'recipients' of the Oscars. Not too many years back, the politically-correct police changed the language from 'and the winner is' to 'and the Oscar goes to'...

It is hard to watch a movie that is mostly sub-titled, you have to really keep up, or you will miss alot. The sentences go by too fast sometimes. Luckily I saw it at home and could rewind. After wa... tching it and understanding it, as it was a little confusing, I really liked it. It was very sad and I cried at the end, probably cause I was happy that things worked out the way they did at the end, but all in all it was good. I hope the young boys are doing ok who played in this film. Full Review
This movie was awesome. Despite subtitles and an old theatre that you had a hard time seeing over heads the movie was true to the novel and beautifully done. Excellent cast. A very moving movie tha... t tugged at your heart on many levels. Triumphant conclusion, the story came full circle with "for you a thousand times!" Loved it. Full Review
Excellent film! I read the novel, my husband didn't but he said he thoroughly enjoyed the film as well. Gives genuine insight into the basic lives of the Afganistan people, also explains how the Talib... an was born. I loved the imagery of the kite weaving thru the story -- taking the innocence of children into the flight of politics and terrorism. Outstanding in everyway!!! Full Review
Having not read this acclaimed novel, I had no strong draw to seeing the film until a close friend encouraged me to join her. Though she was only half way through the book, she didn't want to miss th... e oppoturnity to see how it translated onto the screen. This is one of the best written films I have ever seen. Seamless. Flawless. The gut wretching struggle between cowardess and courage, the inhumanities that are brought to bear when cruelty is paired with power and dominates a world gone mad. Anyone who has ever taken freedom for granted or not given it the due and respect that many have died to ensure, needs to see this to be reminded that disgrace is not in the falling, but the failure to rise. And the courage of redemption is the strength that binds us all. Courage speaks no language greater than the bonds of friendship tested.This movie speaks to everyone, anyone, anywhere.See it.
