It’s the ghost story at its best. When a movie gets to you and plays with your head long after the credits have rolled, it’s good. It’s really good, and this is one of the best. It not only stays with you for a while, this movie, it takes up residence in your mind. It makes itself comfy, and, once seen, is always there, to scare you again and again.
Having said that, it’s not just a psychological chiller; it’s also a very shrewd examination of love and loss. In short, it’s a masterpiece.
They overindulged on the creaks and squeaks in this movie and didn’t really spend enough time on the characters. As a consequence, I found myself not caring very much about what happened to them. The Exorcist type goings on also left this feeling a bit samey as far as I’m concerned.
The meticulous Pixar eye for detail is there, and the gags are good, as ever, but there's a lack of the heart that made the last one so brilliant.
A wonderful, chaotic, laugh-out-loud romp. Ackroyd and Belushi are fatastic.
Very well executed, genuinely feel-good comedy
Beautifully shot in what looks like a beautiful country, this horror-comedy has one foot in the past, paying tribute to old splatter movies like Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive, and one foot in the present, obviously piggy-backing on the success of Shaun of the Dead.
Whilst it obviously owes a lot to these films, Black Sheep is its own very witty, very campy creation. It’s an unpretentious, uncomplicated delight, whose actors, and performances, are a cut above most of this type.
Black Sheep, then, is a wonderfully dark, pleasingly witty pastiche of the zombie genre with enough gore to keep splatter-hounds interested and enough wit and intelligence to compete with other exponents of the genre.
Yes, it's sentimental; yes, it's light and frothy, but what's wrong with that from time to time, especially when the film concerned is as charming as this? Charm oozes out of this, like sweet, sticky jam out of a doughnut - a big, lovely, sugary, cinematic doughnut, that's what this film is.
As for the performances, they're excellent, and strike just the right note. Tom Hanks is, as almost always, very good indeed, so, too, is Geena Davis, and Madonna isn't half bad either, surprisingly enough.
In short, A League of Their Own is a joy, and just makes me smile.
Perhaps the ultimate mainstream feminist movie, but it’s more than that. It’s as heartbreaking as it is heart-warming and as funny as it is tragic. Thelma & Louise isn’t just one of the best chick-flicks ever made, it’s THE best.
This is such a huge turkey! It's flat, unoriginal, uninspired, clunky and cluttered. It's also the worst Futurama rip-off imaginable!
Ultimately disappointing. This could have been really rather good, were it not for two things - a decidedly below-par script, in which no character does more than the bare minimum and ham-handed, cheap-thrills direction from Schumacher.
If only a bit more care was taken, this might have been a darkly comic, thought-provoking film; as it is, however, it’s a wholly two-dimensional, paint-by-numbers affair that’s only a one-time watch.
With an extremely deft and careful hand, Sarah Polley directs a haunting and poignant film about real, true love versus dementia.
Profoundly moving, brilliantly acted and beautifully shot, Away From Her is a fantastic film in every way.
