THE CIDER HOUSE RULES
This beautiful film is moving and perfect for fans of films set in America couple of decades ago.
Quite and real without the special effects: just the physical and emotional cinematography.
Tobey Maguire is perfect for his role as an intelligent, honest and sincere boy who knows exactly what he wants
and where to get it. Trust me on this one and catch it before it runs out in theatres.
This Spanish delight is so interesting and unique any film fan shouldn't miss it for the world.
Segments of 15 minutes with different casts and a different stories are stringed together with a similar theme
(romantic relationships) into a art piece. Jealousy, lust, romance, adultery... the enticing and humorous tales
are hilarious and provocative, fantastic for a date. Imagine a row of Seinfelden anecdotes about relationships pieced
into a movie.
Beautiful actors with nice Tokyo Architecture and amazing fighting choreography with some animated comic-strip like effects...
a dream come true for all fans of sleek chic fighting oriental style. Sadly, watching 2 guys and a babe running up and down down in Tokyo,
dodging silly incompetent mafia members isn't exactly what I would consider an invigorating cinematic experience. Did I mention that the acting by
Kelly is so... that one feels sympathetic in the scene when she is highly emotional because she didn't manage to wet her eyes after a few minutes of close-ups.
I've heard that it is better than Aaron Kwok's 2000 AD but then again, I'm sure most agree that Highlander was better than Highlander 2.
Tim Burton. This should say it all. Fantasy, elaborate wardrobes and cinematography at their finest.
Morbid and dark plot and theme... with 2 of his favourite actors: Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci.
Black humour and everything black, this period piece is enjoyable but still lacking in the number of action scenes.
The setting and visuals are close to perfect, including the leads comic timings: even Johnny's.
Could have been more suspenseful but I guess the excessive scares and thrills would have tipped it over into b-rate-dom.
Typically Irish with the perpetual plot development of children dying, this sad story based on the popular book
is disheartening and melancholic almost throughout. Forget the American triumphant and hero-emergence styles. Angela
is brutally honest and frank - c'est la vie.
This movie drafting the life of an Irish boy is slightly motivational and inspiring towards the end, if you hadn't been crushed
by the dreary mood by then. A film definitely deserving of a ticket price if you're looking for some serious materials to swallow after a
glossy blockbuster.
Try it.
This film is unexpectedly anti-gloss and cosy; middle-of-the-road and personal ie. a perfect
genre for Winona Ryder. Despite the hype about Angelina Jolie's powerful performance as a mentally disturbed
victim, she did not steal the show from our favourite dark-hair, big-eye girl next door from The Age Of Innocence.
She strikes out as the girl forever in doubt of her sanity during the teenage years of her life and struggling like everyone else
her age to remain sane. A whole lot less melodramatic than expected with a very Little Women feel to this female dominated cast.
Whoopi Goldberg is excellent as the maternal nurse, as opposed to Jared Leto (Urban Legend) as the beardy 70s hunk of Winona.
Check this film out if you're a fan of Ryder's, Jolie's or if you're simply looking for a good old fashion movie about friendship and
social sanity.
