disturbed
PostedNovember 26, 2011
If you want to see a good movie and leave feeling happy about the holidays or your life, don't see this film.
Cronenburg's choice of directing each scene succeeds in keeping the audience in a state of disturbing anxiety, (i.e. from demented closeups of Keira's twisted face and inability to speak clearly, to the neglected wife of Carl, or the icy coolness of Jung's connection to human life). This is not the emotional ride I enjoy. I don't need to become a patient to watch a movie which is what Cronenburg invites.
I would have enjoyed seeing a film about the science of the theories. But that is not what this is, this is a platform for Cronenburg's twisted sense of entertainment.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

missing something
PostedNovember 21, 2011
slow start, good parts, something missing in the storyline -- almost like there's another hour of the movie somewhere and they cut it out in bits and pieces. Felt like I was watching 2 different movies -- Rourke (great) was in an R film and Lutz (great) was in a PG version. Maybe the makers just don't know what they're doing. All the pieces are there but not put together correctly.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Shakespear gone Western
PostedJanuary 3, 2011
All around very well done, excellent cast. If you like Westerns that aren't silly, you'll like this take me back to a time long ago. Not much depth but it's a film about a book so there you go. Laughed... it's like Shakespear gone Western... clever dialog;)
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Holmes is psychic
PostedJanuary 3, 2010
I had heard this film was okay so I had low expectations but i was pleasantly surprised. the writing was excellent, the acting, excellent.
Downey and Law are both so incredibly talented and work perfectly in this duo. I am a fan of both and they dd not let me down in performance or charisma.
This film was worth the price of admission.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

"Dances with Wolves" meets "Matrix" so the storyline didn't work for me as "original" at all.
The visuals are spectacular and a must-see.
The Villian (corporations) was not interesting at all. The Army/General element lost its focus and his performance was poorly directed, he became "crazy," "over the top," "cartoonish."
The film caused me to dislike our US Forces.
If the story's villian had been more creative and the story less black and white, more about these amazing Indigenous people, it would have worked on a more mature level.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Complicated is a hit
PostedDecember 27, 2009
Meryl and Baldwin kept me rocking in my seat laughing. Loved It. Loved it. 35+ this movie is a best choice.
I enjoyed Baldwin's character on many levels. Masculine yet gentle. No one could have pulled off that character except Baldwin, he is the only one "manly" enough to make exposing his feelings work on so many levels - sincerity, humor, vulnerable, etc.
Meryl was supurb. Feminine lovliness. Brings "sexy" and "desireable" back to 45+.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Wardrobe deserves an award. Gave Meryl great style.
35+ this movie is a best choice.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Family Film for Holidays - Thank God!!!
PostedNovember 27, 2009
I cried several times; my date cried several times. Sandra's got another heartfelt hit on her hands.
Perfect family film. Loved it. Makes you laugh, root for the underdog, high-5 the wins... just TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --- unlike Christmas Carol which I felt was too dark -- this film, "The Blind Side," is just what I hoped would be available at the theaters... our country needs these kinds of films right now.. thank you.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Not for kids
PostedNovember 14, 2009
Film is perfectly made. Scrooge reminds me of my ex husband.
Because it's too scary for young children I give it 3 stars. Misrepresents Disney.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Depp fan
PostedJuly 11, 2009
Johnny Depp is why I went and I was not disappointed. The love story was hot. Depp is Dillinger. Technically, the film is perfectly done, Mann's talent is everywhere. The task to take a true story from an era kids can't relate to and give it enough bite for today's BRB audiences... hard to do even for Mann.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
