I finally got to Match Point myself this weekend, and I'm more in line with Sonic's view of the film. I wouldn't call this so much a return to form for Woody as I'd call it a pleasing new direction. I'm a huge fan of his 70s classics (loved Annie Hall; thought Manhattan one of the most perfect film...

Clayburgh is having a comeback on Broadway this year. She was in an unsuccessful Richard Greenberg play with Richard Thomas in the fall (the tiitle escapes me). And she's now in previews with a revival of Barefoot In The Park playing -- brace yourselves -- the Mildred Natwick role. Even worse -- To...

I just saw this post for the first time, Sonic, and I want to heartily second what you say. The whole idea behind the Official Review thread was to leave space for comment on films that obviously didn't rate threads of their own, but that maybe rated a few words in passing. (My possibly-faulty memo...

I was at the Loews 68th in NY to see Syriana; the 2:30 show of Brokeback was sold out before 2:10. I can tell you from long experience: afternoon shows are NEVER sold out, even on opening day. (Two evening shows were already listed as sold out, too) This thing, at least in big cities, is going to t...

I don't know why, but Brokeback Mountain is one of the first (the first?) movies that I've ever been completely sick of before it even opened. Really, dws -- your first? The modern method, of opening serious films at festivals many months before public exhibition, has made this a chronic problem fo...

Since the film is now at something of a kudos-peak, maybe it’s time for me to acknowledge: I wasn’t all that wild about The Squid and the Whale. I enjoyed it substantially more than Kicking and Screaming (which I almost actively disliked), and it grew on me some as it went along. But I had two fair...

Well, for once I'll be the grouchiest about a movie: I think you're all being WAY too kind about North Country. I thought it was, for most of its running time, a complete mediocrity -- Lifetime on the big screen. Then, in the last 20 minutes or so, I thought it turned totally godawful. The end titl...
