Since Cusack was so great. Who would have made 1408 an embarrassment in your opinion? Personally, I wouldn't want to see Michael Rappaport trapped in a hotel room for 90 mins. 1 Replies | Report Abuse There are so many names that could be almost certainly detrimental for the role, and Rappaport is a great one to point out. Hmmmm...if I had to choose just one, I think I would go with Gilbert Gottfried. 0 Replies | Report Abuse |

This movie was really impressive and engrossing. It wouldn't have been a Cronenberg film without all the gore, which was expected, but still surprising. I can't wait to own it. 1 Replies | Report Abuse Yes, even for Cronenberg some of the graphic violence was surprising. I am definitely going to get the DVD when it's released as well. 0 Replies | Report Abuse Tony said twas an amazing movie, i will probably have to get the dvd though when it comes out. (Check out the masterful moviethat is coming soon in my journal) 1 Replies | Report Abuse I have a feeling that you will like this movie very much. 0 Replies | Report Abuse What did you think about William Hurt? I thought he hilarious. Especially when his plans start to go awry. I like the new colour scheme. 2 Replies | Report Abuse I don't know why I didn't mention Hurt in the review. I thought he was terrific in his short screen time. It's a Hurt we've never quite seen before. Thanks for the compliment on the new colors. I think I'll stick with this one for a while. 0 Replies | Report Abuse "I like the new colour scheme." I agree!!! :D Where are you andy?!? You just don't come around that often anymore. Don't make me stalk you! 1 Replies | Report Abuse Thanks bunches, Eve!!!! I have been in a major funk lately, but I plan on showing my face around here regularly again soon, so I'll let you off the stalking bit for now. 1 Replies | Report Abuse Fucking Astros.........those god damn Astros......Is that why your "in a major funk"? Damn Astros........ 1 Replies | Report Abuse Truthfully, it is one of the main reasons I haven't been able to write anything of late. I am obsessed with the Cardinals. I will return with a slew of things very soon...I can feel it. 1 Replies | Report Abuse Yes, a slew of writings when both teams tie in game seven in 50 innings so nobody wins the world series. 0 Replies | Report Abuse |

Glad to see you enjoyed this so much. I've been interested in it myself. Great review..I don't think you mentioned Lindsay Lohan in it *shrugs* was she at least decent? 1 Replies | Report Abuse I absolutely LOVE this movie. You're right, I didn't mention Lohan as well as a few others, and mostly because I just didn't feel like making the review any longer than it was or give anything else away from the film. Yes, she is very good along with everybody else in the whole thing. I can't wait for you to see it because I just know you'll love it! 1 Replies | Report Abuse ooh, nice! I hope to see it soon then. I love when people tell me they know I'll love a movie. Makes me want to see it even more to find out if they're right :) 0 Replies | Report Abuse Very encouraging review. :up: The recent influx of positive reviews (including yours) has swayed me to see this. I know I had it on my "Summer Preview List," but my interest was starting to wane as of late. So, thanks for re-energizing it. :) [quote]Kevin Kline in his most top form comedic performance since A Fish Called Wanda.[/quote] Yes! This is rockin' good news. Oh, and I love Virginia's coat in that bottom pic. She looks kinda angelic. 1 Replies | Report Abuse I think there is absolutely no way that you should pass it up on the big screen. Yes, it's true - Kline is just marvelous here. Ms. Madsen is always an angel, and in "Companion" it becomes literal. 0 Replies | Report Abuse |

I wish I could've seen all of waking life before i watched this one just to compare but for now I love love love a Scanner Darkly. I'll admit I didn't get it a couple of times but it all does come together like you say. I feel for this movie so much and I want to see it again. I think it is incredibly important for people to go see this film at a time like this. It comes at a perfect time and is just more than perfect. It makes you realize things when you watch this and look at the world a littl 1 Replies | Report Abuse Definitely one that jumps around and confuses its audience, but in a totally unique and un-insulting way. It is a very important film to see in the present time, as a lot of independent and even a few bigger films are starting to do. There are still films with a lot to say and Linklater is always at the forefront. I cannot wait to see "Fast Food Nation" later this year. Yes, Downey is probably the most impressive actor working today. He is acting his ass off right now. 0 Replies | Report Abuse |

As a huge fan of their first collaboration in Amelie, I can't wait to give this a rental. Sounds amazingly great. 1 Replies | Report Abuse I think you'll find that it's even better when you do see it. 0 Replies | Report Abuse I liked "A Very Long Engagement" too, but not as much as you. Yes, the film looked great and Audrey Tatou pours her heart into her role, but the screenplay seemed like a mess to me. First, the World War I scenes are very confusing because the movie takes the time to name all of the soldiers and, after a while, loses sight of them. Second, the movie awkwardly stepped on the brink of fantasy, what with the bartender with the wooden arm or the woman who murders the soldiers who wouldn't let her hus 1 Replies | Report Abuse I can see where the introductions of the other soldiers and trying to develop plots for them could turn some off, but I don't think it ever lost sight of them. I guess this movie just struck a chord with me. 0 Replies | Report Abuse |

Thanks for posting on this film - for some reason, I didn't know it was out there. I'll be sure to watch it. 1 Replies | Report Abuse I have no idea why this movie didn't get a good theatrical release...I'm not even sure it went on the big screen at all actually. I didn't know it was out there either until I came across it on the rental shelves. I hope you like it as much as I did. 0 Replies | Report Abuse I'm glad to see that you liked this movie. I have it in my queue list on Netflix, I saw it as the new releases and the similiaries between it and Crash interested me. I've been alittle hesitant to watch it, some of the reviews I've seen haven't been that great. Glad to see that there is still hope for me to like it. Great review to btw. 1 Replies | Report Abuse I think it achieved far more than it was expected too, surprising me a lot. I hope you like it, and thanks for the compliment. 0 Replies | Report Abuse |

Right on. Woody hasn't been at the top of his game because (I get the sense that) he hasn't really pushed the boundaries of what he does since "Sweet and Lowdown." I was actually under the impression that "Crimes and Misdemeanors" is considered one of his classics. I usually see it held up as the peak of his 80s output. It is fantastic. But you really hit it on the nose with your comments about "Another Woman," a practically forgotten Allen masterpiece. Easily some of his best work as a direc 1 Replies | Report Abuse Yes, I do agree with the fact that "Crimes and Misdemeanors" is considered in most cases a Wooody classic, I'm just saying that it needs to be talked about more alongside "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan". I think it's that good. I really have been meaning to "September" for a long time now. I shall get to that. 0 Replies | Report Abuse I agree that Allen's newer movies are usually still better then most movies. Although 'Hollywood Ending' wasn't great, it was decent, certainly didn't deserve the trashing it got. This might sound like a weird question, but are you a guy or a girl? Andy is sorta a gender non-specific name, and you have two pictures that seem like they could be you in your profile. 1 Replies | Report Abuse No, it's definitely not a weird question. To set the record straight - I am a guy. The girl in the picture with painted in vomit is my girlfriend, Amanda. 0 Replies | Report Abuse "Crimes and Misdemeanors" is Allen's masterpiece, and it's on my 100 favourite films of all-time list. While it is often cited as one of Allen's better films, people tend to cite "Manhattan" as his masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, I love "Manhattan", but to me "Crimes", "Annie Hall" and "Hannah and Her Sisters" are more successful. "Crimes" stands at the top because of its astonishing sweep over the full spectrum of human behaviour, from the comic to the macabre. 1 Replies | Report Abuse I'd have to put "Crimes" on the top as well, but just beside "Another Woman" on my list. You're definitely right about the range he shows on human behavior. 1 Replies | Report Abuse I'm ashamed to admit I haven't yet seen "Another Woman". I'll have to put it on my DVD list, because I'm a big fan of Woody Allen and it sounds like this is one of his most successful films. 0 Replies | Report Abuse |

This one of my favorites. I guess you were one of those that was turned off by this from the beginning. I loved it from start to finish.

Sorry. I just thought it seemed like a messy movie made by a spoiled teenager who had the good fortune of owning major filmmaking equipment.
