saw it last night, and to me, Kevin Spacey ruled.  His Lex is the best, and the scheme better than ever.  \nSuperman has, in my eyes, returned.  He was a perfect choice, and in some of those scenes he truly looked a little bit alien (I thought so, anywho).\nAlthough I am not a fan of kids in films, I thought this film did a good job of keeping him low-key.  Jimmy was hilarious, and the effects were better than anything I've seen on the big screen to date!\nThumbs way up!

The film was abysmal.  Stylistically, there were some very good moments in the beginning, but that doesn't cut it.  This film is a good example of a film that substitutes style and visual aesthetics for substance.  Furthermore, Anthony Hopkins (usually a fine performer), Winona Ryder (here less than mediocre), and Keanu Reeves (who should never be cast in anything) were all miscast and the film suffered as a result.  Finally, the last act of the film is campy, boring, and poorly shot (we shouldn't be distracted during the film's climax by how much the scenerey looks like a soundstage).\n\nRegarding the book, however, it is clear that the film has used it only as a framework for its own machinery and spectacle.  This was not Bram Stoker's Dracula, but F.F. Coppola's re-reading of the book through the lens of a kaleidascope.

i think its a pretty good film. its different. \n\nSPOILER:\nshe ends up being the one in 6 years. that is sooo cute.\n\nfirst time i watched it i couldnt help but laugh at how gimpy Ashton looks at the start but later on...oh my god he is gorgeous.\ni love the picture she takes of them. yeah i have never seen a movie with this kind of storyline before so thats great and i think the actors chosen were perfect for the parts. i say everyone should see this movie at least once and if they dont like it then hey they dont have to watch it ever again do they. lol.

Yeah, just caught it opening night. For a horror movie it was real good. For a Video Game movie, it was freaking awsome! Well acted (as in all the characters were believable, and you could buy it was happening to them), mostly mood as opposed to a gorefest, but when they do the gore, wow, they went for it. (The audience was flipping out...I'm a little jaded...) They managed to have just enough of the patented "twist" when they reveal the core of the story left unsaid that they managed to slip some stuff by me too...\n\nOn the whole, I'd give it 3.5 stars out of 4, or to put it more plainly, see it at a matinee showing, or if you have one in your area, see it at a drive in (in other words, not worth 10 bucks, but definately catch it on the big screen if at all possible.)

"El Diablo Nunca Duerme" / "The Devil Never Sleeps"  \n\nA documentary about family secrets -  it slowly grips you.\n\n\n"The Hole"\n\nEndless rain, cockroaches that bring disease and solitude, what a combination.  Very unique.\n\n\n"Talk to Her" \n\nI think it's Almodovar's best film ever.  I like the way he captured the small details of the characters.\n\n\n\n"Sin Dejar Huella"\n\nUnexpected story-line.  One of those independent Mexican movies that should have gotten a lot more attention.\n\n\n"Love on a Diet"\n\nI didn't like some of its very obvious low-budget aspects, but aside from this, it's very quirky and endearing - it's difficult to not like it.\n\np.s. I didn't like "Like Water for Chocolate" the book or the movie -   imo - they were stereotypical and cartoonish.  Didn't like "Y Tu Mama Tambien" because I thought it was just trying to hard to be edgy and the acting was bad.  But "Amores Perros" is a great movie. Oh well, just my humble opinions :-)

I own this DVD and yes it's horrifying, yes it's brutal and yes it will scare the hell out of you. But one word that cannot be used to describe it is "typical".\n\nCamille Keaton (Buster Keaton's daughter) stars as the victim of a brutal gang rape by 4 completely animalistic backwoods country boys, one of whom is slightly mentally handicapped. She moves to this jerkwater town to write a novel. The four guys see her while she is sunning herself out in a canoe on a river. They attack her, rape and beat her, and leave her for dead.\n\nShe doesn't die, she recovers but doesn't contact the authorities to report the rapists. She decides to get revenge her own way and this is where the film gets REALLY brutal. The bathtub was the most shocking thing I had ever seen the first time I saw this movie. I won't go into details about the scene, but let's just say that guy, had he lived, would not be raping any more women. In a fairly jarring moment, Camille's character encounters the guy's wife and children waiting for him at the gas station where he works. He's not there because he's dead in Camille's bathtub, but you can see Camille start to feel guilty about killing him and robbing the children of their father. This is deeper drama than this type of film normally depicts. However, she dispatches all four of these degenerates one by one, even the mentally handicapped one.\n\nThis is a movie about a woman who takes control of her own life after a devastating attack on her body and psyche. The power she displays could be inspirational if the movie had been made that way, but it does take the Revenge genre of movies to a whole new level.\n\nThe guy who made this flick, Meir Zachi (I think) also did another movie called "Don't Mess With My Sister", and THIS movie truly sucks on toast, but "I Spit on Your Grave" is one helluva zero budget thriller. Rent the UNrated version  to see this movie as it is supposed to be seen. I doubt uyou will come away form it unaffected on a deeply personal level.

I saw it on Saturday. It was okay. Vince Vugh looked really fat and I liked Jennifer Aniston in this movie. I don't really like her in other movies.  Yes it was funny, yes, you want to shout at the couple how stupid they are. The ending, all I can say without spoiling it is some people will like it and some people won't. \n\nBottom line:\nif you miss it in the movies, don't worry about it, the DVD will be fine. The only reason why I think it was so big it's opening weekend, is because it was raining on tje east coast and no one really went out that night.

It is the hard word\n\nFirst-time director Scott Roberts gets it pretty right with this inyaface Aussie crime caper about three brothers who are just too good.at what they love best: robbing banks.\n\nGuy Pearce leads the Twentyman brothers as sort of mastermind Dale. He’s in jail and Rachel Griffiths is his unlikely moll wife who seems to be in bed with conniving lawyer Frank (Robert Taylor). \n\nThe scam is simple. The boys get snuck out of jail to pull their heists and everyone from the cops to the prison governor are cut in. Until Frankie decides he wants it all, including the lady- and there’ll be no witnesses.\n\nIt’s funny, black and rather surreal. Naturalism buffs will not adore this as much as looser-limbed viewers. But it’s helter-skelter action and remarkably little violence. Strong language though as you’d expect from a writer whose other film was the batty Denis Hopper vehicle The American Way in 1987.\n\nOne lovely touch totally misunderstood by almost every critic so far is the family argot based on butcher’s slang which the lads use to keep their personal stuff, er, personal.\nIf you could handle Chopper you will like this and ignore the spoilsport bourgeois critics of the national press when they come to savage it!

I liked it but agree it wasn't as good as the original with\nJohn Travolta and Olivia Newton John.\nI liked Maxwell Caufield(who played the exchange student.)\n\nI would say that it was definitely a bust.

I thought Hostel was a waste of money! The first half was basically a porn. All sex and drugs..no story. The rest was okay..but I was expecting a lot more. I agree that Saw II was the best!!

Yeah, I collect horror films. Hostel was pretty good. I tend to go for the classics though. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The hills have eyes, The last house on the left, Suspiria, etc. (The originals).

Funny you should bring that up. I just saw it a few hours ago. My personal views on the movie... Well, I though it was mostly funny. I just don't like that much cussing. I think it's kind of embarassing. Jack Black and Kyle Gass wrote almost all the songs in the movie. I thought the basic idea of the movie was interesting. And I didn't know Tim Robbins was going to have a cameo in it.
