The World is not Enough Review
Pierce Brosnan has finally settled into the role of James Bond.
Pierce Brosnan has finally settled into the role of James Bond.
Fina Torres’ sweet, light-hearted comedy puts the beauty of Penelope Cruz to the test by trying to sustain an entire film around it. It almost works.
Nicole Kassell’s interesting but less-than-gripping story of a child molester trying to reenter society after years in prison is worth it mostly for the stirring, subtle performance by Kevin Bacon who acts here with real-life wife Kyra Sedgwick.
Sad, desperate attempt at quirky action/comedy. Think of it as "The Past Action Hero."
The writers of MTV’s ‘The State’ created this nostalgic parody of early 80s summer camp movies which is wildly uneven but occasionally hits the right notes.
A predictable supernatural thriller is nearly saved by Michelle Pfeiffer’s commanding performance and the capable hands of Director Robert Zemeckis.
This sticking-up-for-the-little-man story would be predictable even if it weren’t a remake of the 1973 Joe Don Baker favorite.
Philip Kaufman’s atmospheric story of the last days of the Marquis De Sade is let down by a script which does not shed any light on its characters, despite a wonderfully flamboyant performance by Geoffrey Rush as the title.
Michael Caine gives his most restrained, intense performance yet as British newspaper correspondent Thomas Fowler in Philip Noyce’s restrained, intense adaptation of the Graham Greene novel about love and war in 1950s Vietnam.
Director Bryan Singer and his cast of superheroes return for another mutant extravaganza. As the law of sequels demands, this one just takes everything that worked in the original and adds more of the same. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but is doesn’t make for a very coherent story.
