Anyone saw the new Russel Crowe movie? (A good year)?

I saw it a few months ago at the Toronto Film Festival - I had to leave about a half-hour before it ended to get to my next movie.  I have no desire to see the part I missed.  What I saw of it was very formulaic, and (although I actually really like Crowe), it was hard to buy him as a romantic lead in a feel-good comedy (well, dramedy).\n\nIf you like RC, I'd skip "A Good Year" and re-watch him in "L.A. Confidential."

It was easily one of the best movies I've seen in years. It was hilarious, had an all star cast, a touching and original tale, wonderful characters, and the music...well...I can't get the songs out of my head...and I feel the need to tap dance. It's advertised as a little kids movie, but it had a few moments...uh...that were suggestive. It was also emotional for me, I cried during a few parts and laughed so much. 6/5!

I just saw a few minutes ago and I think that overall the movie was good but the ending was a little farfetched and the dialouge is to dull. The action is very well done and the story is very involving (as you can see In trying not to give it a way) I would go see it, my only major problems are the Hollywood ending and the shortness of the film.\n 4 out of 5 stars.

It's a very intelligent movie, just like Clooney's previous (confessions of a dangerous mind).\nIt has a very slow pace, but it's a very good movie.

Pretty moving, yes. I saw it in a film class, actually. I'm not sure the sections really flowed well into each other, but the acting was superb. Rade Serbedzija was, as usual, incredibly entertaining. I'm glad to see him getting roles in mainstream film. The middle 'Faces' segment seemed disjointed, but I suppose Manchevski was trying to create that feeling.\n\nNot actually in the last 10 years--it's from '94.

Just saw it.  There are some funny lines and parts.\nI don't think the dog stuffs add anything to the story.\nThere are also too many bad words especially spoken by kids.\nI like the sushi.... no time to cook part and a few things he did to the neighbor kid, etc.\nIt is definitely funnier or happier with his second chance ending.\nI first thought just the sad ending would be OK too.  \nYou know he had his chance but just blew it.

I was blessed enough to get free movie screening passes to see Eight Below last night.  The movie was fantastic, and I highly recommend seeing it.  It comes out on Friday.\n\nIt's inspired by a true story and is about the journey of eight Antartic sled dogs left behind by their team.

Wow that was an amazing movie,--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n\n\n\n \nI'm the first to admit that I get a little sappy when writing about Dead Poets Society. I first saw the film during my senior year of high school, and 16 years later it's a movie that is still with me, one that I go back to time and time again.\n\nThere's a little bit of formula at work here: A stuffy rep school, 1950s, a collection of impressionable young boys, and a teacher that will change their lives. But there's something at work that turns what could have been a forgettable, droll piece of saccharine storytelling into a classic. Part of it is Robin Williams as Mr. Keating, a young English teacher that uses poetry to teach them how to "Sieze the day," to suck the marrow out of life, as Thoreau put it.\n\nThe poetry angle is an interested and unexpected one. And writer Tom Schulman and director Peter Weir have no confusion that the idea is a little corny. Putting a kid in front of the class, covering his eyes, and forcing him to free associate until he comes up with a verse about Walt Whitman? Sounds ridiculous, but it works. In fact, it's one of the most powerful scenes in the film.\n\nThat's because the kids in the film are just as good as Williams is here. Robert Sean Leonard is the ostensible star as Neil, a deeply repressed lad who's the class president type yet dreams of doing something artistic, despite the insistence by his father (Kurtwood Smith) that he become a doctor. And then there's roommate Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), an intensely shy young man who's attending Welton Academy for the first time this year and will be memorably brought out of his shell, fighting all the way, by Keating. The other students of note -- Josh Charles as a lovesick kid and Gale Hansen as the unforgettable rebel "Nuwanda" -- are equally apt.\n\nUltimately the film revolves around Neil's story, when he decides for the first time to defy his father and act in a local play -- as Puck, in A Midsummer Night's Dream, of all things. This leads to a series of catastrophic events that culminates in (spoiler alert from here on out) Neil's suicide and the scapegoating/firing of Keating for it.\n\nAt once uplifting and emotionally crushing, there's no way to leave this movie without wanting to somehow improve your life and follow Keating's advice by seizing the day. Every time I watch the film I'm compelled to complete some lingering project, plan a trip, move into a new house, or do something unforgettable. Weir's direction perfectly captures the 1950s mood -- an era of repression just on the verge of breaking wide open -- and Williams manages to keep his mania in check for the bulk of the film, trotting out an impression here or there when the story requires it.\n\nIn recent years, Dead Poets Society has become a curious platform for deconstruction and revisionism. Viewers wonder, among other things, whether Neil was so troubled because he was secretly gay. Whether Keating might genuinely be guilty of contributing to his death. Whether "Sieze the day" isn't such a great motto after all. I'm not actually supporting any of these ideas per se, but the latter-day ruminating gives the film more weight than you might otherwise think, and it makes the movie all the richer for it. \n\nI Give it 4 out of 5 stars lol

Okay I read a Stallone review last month. It said that even before the editing process had been done the movie looks alot better than Rocky 5.\n\nI know you might say thats not hard, but I think this is gonna be nearly as good as number 1. Tyson has a cameo role, I think this will be good.\n\nI've gotta a sneaky feeling that he's gonna lose on points and then collapse later in the locker room. I think he'll die in this one to end it all.\n\nIt's about time someone asked a Balboa question.

I enjoyed it far more than I was expecting to. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that a blond northern bloke can't play Bond. He does a fantastic job \n\nGo and see it, you won't regret it !

Hello, new and saw your question. So see any good movies lately?

Absolutely loved the film.  Only Munich BARELY edged it out for bets film of last year (but only barely).  It's one of the few open and honest films about the subject of oil and the Middle East.  I was also stunned at the storyline involving the recruitment of the young terrorist.\n\nAmazing stuff.

I saw this on the weekend. It was pretty good, but I expected it to be a lot funnier for some reason? I guess because I'm used to Will Ferrel's other movies.  And I thought that Queen Latifah's character was kinda pointless? But overall I thought it was pretty good. Different than I expected, but good =D

I absolutely loved it..Great Movie! Right up there with Shawshank Redemption.\nOne of Redford's best in a while. I prefer it to "The Horse Whisperer" and "Up Close and Personal"\n\nThe end of the Movie was moving...really moving.
