I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

A historian writing a biography of Isaac Newton spends a Summer with a dysfunctional family in Co. Cork, Ireland. And that's about it. Amidst the pauses, silences & meaningful looks nothing much happens. During a love scene between glacial Gabriel Byrne & buxom Harriet Walter some form of pixillation is employed for modesty. This viewer often felt like shouting out to Byrne to "Get on with it!"
