They do not make them like this anymore. Intelligent and virtuous. Every choice in the production of this movie was the right one.

There are so many things that are perfectly done in this heartrending and spirit-soaring movie. Wonderful lensing, wonderful acting, wonderful depiction of a culture.

This movie holds up really well, both as a character study and as an action film. Yet another reason to join the Yakima Canutt fan club.

But this one is the funniest. Corky St. Clair is one of the most brilliant creations of all time. Hilarious lampooning of local theater. The bonus features on these DVDs are excellent.

1926. Amazing. Every kid should get to view this to discover how comedy originated.

Redemption is a gritty process. It is baffling why the supporting performances of Debra Winger and Rosemarie DeWitt went mostly unrecognized. Stunning work. I wish the family had been more of an every-family, more identifiable, not so rich and musically idiosyncratic.

It is so rewarding when an 80s movie actually holds up to how you felt about it as a kid. The fatherly mentor relationship with Mr. Miyagi is surprisingly profound and "You're the Best" is quite possibly one of the best songs ever used in a movie.

The beginning is eyelid-droopingly slow, and I didn't think the couple made a heroic decision, but the rest of the movie is a beautiful testament to the brotherhood of man. However, in a world that embraces the madness of battle, you will often be persecuted for choosing peace.

Talk about a smart script. The movie made me want to see the play, because all the best moments were dialogue and all the weakest moments were attempts to be "cinematic." A few lines aside (Meryl Streep throwing her Rosary to the floor) it was very respectful and should be esteemed for creating discussion.

I don't think this movie deserved the critical drubbing it received. Granted, it aspires to be a lot more artistic than most thrillers and has more than one disturbing rape scene. Still, it is a new kind of survival story, and a thought-provoking work on our failure to see our neighbor. And the conclusion has some moments of profound human beauty.

A nightmare recounted. Rivetting history, but with some noteworthy flaws. Basically, what he says: http://werichanel.wordpress.com/universal-pictures/the-changeling-a-true-story/

For a movie 50 years old, it does hold up better as a thriller than any of the old James Bond movies I've seen. The Mount Rushmore scene is awesome. But the pacing is so slow, I feel this movie is only able to be enjoyed in a historical light. Cary Grant is totally miscast. I don't enjoy skeevy old men (who are "irrestible" to every woman they pass) action films.

Throughout the movie, there is a certain sense of magic, hard to define but still enjoyable. The more I think about it though, I am able to come up with a name for that magic. It's called: Forest Gump. Same writer, less memorable, more shallow leads, different disability and different floating object. Kind of takes the enjoyment out of it.

It has its memorable moments, but is very amoral and empty. It works though in its depiction of two women that all their life have been mistreated finally veer over the edge of reason, seeking their own rules on their own terms. It made me think about all injustices against females, and the wounds that women silently carry with them.

This was not my choice. But it wasn't the painful experience I was expecting it to be. I'll even say it: I kind of liked it, even though there's a Stupid Grown-Up to Smart Grown-Up ratio of 100:1. And did anybody else get a Barack and Michelle Obama salvific vibe off Don Cheadle and his movie wife?

Do all movies have this many montages? It seemed as if the writer would throw one in any time he was unable to convey a complicated emotion (like, oh say...friendship). The story had so many strange details, I could only accept it if it was based on a true story. It wasn't. Still, some very heartfelt performances-kudos to the actors for reaching deeper than the convoluted script tends to allow.

In every way that Casino Royale thrilled me, Quantum of Solace let me down. There was one cool scene in the entire convoluted mess (the scaffolding fight). And juxtaposition with random cuts to horse races or operas only works if it adds to the scene, rather than making it even more mirky.
