Two Crows for Comfort are a Manitoba folk duo (with roots and country leanings) who spend a good chunk of their year touring around North America with their dog in tow. The incredible harmonies and storytelling from this real-life couple are up there with some of the best duos making their style of music anywhere on the planet.
Director Edward Zwick has had a long career in both television and film, dating back to the late 80s with films like 1986's David Mamet-penned About Last Night... and 1989's Academy Award-winning film Glory that rocketed Denzel Washington to super star status.
There are some things quite right with The Holiday and there are some things that are just wrong. For example: there's no reason for any romantic comedy to have a running time of more than 2 hours.
With visions of "chick flick" dancing in my head, I expected the movie to blow, and the first half did. I blame you, Cameron Diaz. You're not good.
This is the first review I've written without really knowing what the movie is about. I know, I know. It's a Darren Aronofsky film and perhaps I'm not supposed to know what's going on.
The Fountain is a mess and we've seen this happen before: give a director too much money and it just doesn't work.
Imagine if you will a disaster film like Titanic, Towering Inferno, or Poseidon Adventure, and then imagine that instead of the disaster you have the 1968 assassination of presidential hopeful Robert F Kennedy.
Movie-goers should know, this version of Casino Royale has nothing to do with the one made in 1967. Any movie that credits five directors is not going to work. It was horrible.
The 2006 version stars Daniel Craig as a new, leaner and meaner James Bond. He doesn't have a great sense of humour, but that'll come in future Bond films.
It has been a long, drawn-out year of CGI-animated films. There has been at least one a month all year long. But when are we going to finally see the best one of the year? In other words, are we there yet?
Happy Feet tells the story of Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood), a young penguin who is having a lot of trouble fitting in.
There have been a lot of films about the atrocities that grip many parts of the African continent. From 1971 to 1979, the African country of Uganda was gripped under the tyrannical rule of Idi Amin (played in the film by Forest Whitaker).
It has taken Christian Bale a long time to reach the forefront of Hollywood success. I actually remember the strong British actor from some his earlier films like Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun from 1987, the Disney musical Newsies from 1992, and the very underrated film Swing Kids from 1993. It really is a shame how many years it took for Bale to emerge.
There have been a lot of films that have tried to delve into the human psyche; trying to uncover what we might be thinking at any given moment. Some films have been bizarre or twisted, revolutionary or interesting, and wonderful or engaging.
As it states in the film, Kazakhstan is a backward land where the national drink is fermented horse urine, prostitutes are nationally ranked, horses have the vote but women don't, the premier's wife's duties include sleeping with foreign dignitaries, and villages across the country celebrate the traditional "running of the Jew".
