Sorry to disagree with you and Franko, but I think it's one of Huston's best movies. Unlike almost all of the other major adaptations of that year (in addition to Color Purple and Out of Africa, there was also Kiss of the Spider Woman, Agnes of God, The Trip to Bountiful, and A Chorus Line, among others - Kurosawa's…

The beginning of the film is pretty over-the-top, but I think after that it settles down and becomes something pretty good. I also think Joan Allen in particular is pretty fucking amazing in it. The last scene she has with Daniel Day-Lewis (I also thought he was great), where he's trying to decide whether or not to do…

Actually, I hated "Mississippi Burning" and "Angel Heart". The former took a great story and completely trivialized it, and indulged in nothing but stereotypes (the only parts of the movie I liked were Gene Hackman and Frances McDormand's performances; their scenes together are terrific), while the latter was trite…

I love the Branagh version, so I was initially resistant to this one at first, but Whedon does seem like he's offering a different take on it, so I'm hopeful. Plus, I can totally see Nathan Fillion as Dogberry and Amy Acker as Beatrice.

I think it was also the fact Topher seemed to be, at first, Xander with more brains. But luckily, he became more than that.

As Onthewall points out below, I'd say The Insider qualifies. Russell Crowe and Al Pacino both get pretty intense, but there's no physical violence, and since one's in an increasingly loveless marriage and the other in a comfortable one, there's no sex either. And it's a great movie to boot.

And when you hear the description of the film, you think, "Okay, this is going to just be sentimental claptrap" - but it isn't. As you say, it's completely human, as well as genuinely warm and funny. And I also agree Bobby Canavale is so good here; for me, he steals the movie.

I agree; it's based on a completely false dichotomy (the idea that you can't enjoy both The Master - which I do - and Premium Rush - which I haven't seen yet, but since I've liked, with slight reservations, all of the movies David Koepp has directed, and I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I do want to catch up to it one of…

I think Wild Things is a great movie until the last 20 minutes or so. Then it has to explain everything that happened, and it slows completely down to a crawl. Maybe there's no other way they could have resolved the movie, but it felt like such a letdown. It's too bad, because up till then it was enjoyable, and…
