Only enjoyable if you're willing to change your expecations
+ Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me begin......
This movie will only appeal to a small audience. It's not what you're looking for if you want to see a good space thriller with intense special effects and bloody fights. Granted, it IS a space thriller with intense special effects and bloody fights, but it's only run-of-the-mill as far as the ...

Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett
Paramount, 2007
THE MOST BRILLIANT FILM OF THE CENTURY SO FAR...!
+ A suprisingly good movie
As powerful and brilliant Inarritu's first two films were ("Amores Perros" and "21 Grams"), they seem to have naturally led to this quintessential masterpiece, "Babel", a tour-de-force of cinematic poetry and complexity of emotion.
Placing what seems disconnected stories in four locations of the ...

If Vermeer Was Brit
This beautifully made film is worth seeing for the heavily meditated transmission of 17th century Dutch art to the screen, a stunning achievement. Delft is wonderfully recreated based on the works of Vermeer and many other painters. The basic story line about a Calvinist girl warily going into a ...

+ Great Movie!!! Gael and Diego are cute!
I will not try to add much to the other commenters who have already noted what a great film this is. I only want to suggest that everyone who watches this film sees the unrated version.
The rated 'R' version still includes lots of raunchy sex, but leaves out the most important 5 seconds in the ...

+ Fabulous!
I believe it was Freud who said that the two great motivators in human affairs are money and sex. But the only motivator that is on display in Anthony Trollope's THE WAY WE LIVE NOW is money. Ok, that is not entirely true. There are at least four characters who are motivated by higher things. But, ...

Love at last ...
15 minutes into the movie I was not certain I would like it. But the story grew on me and before I knew it, the entire 185 minutes had gone by and I felt nicely entertained. I confess I did not particularly care for the music. So I took it for what it was ... film music ... which did not distract ...
