Well, it seems it doesn't take much for South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to offend someone with their politically incorrect and often abrasive version of humor. After watching the first ten minutes of their new film, someone is sure to scream for a refund.
Laura Linney has an effortless acting talent to portray most of her characters with grace, charm, and ease. She becomes the light of the film. Other similarly talented actresses include Elisabeth Shue, Molly Parker, and Nicole Kidman.
Review: Team America: World Police
Posted by: Mark McLeod • October 15, 2004 @ 11:59am
In world politics, the concept of America acting as sort of a world police force has come up time and time again. Just take George W.

Ryan (Matt Fentiman) and Grant (Mark Hildreth) aren't your normal couple, but they are in love and after dating one another for a long period of time they have decided to spend the rest of their lives together as one.

Caution, this film may induce outbursts of "road rage"!
The 1998 French film Taxi spawned two sequels and became one of the most successful writing projects for French director/screenwriter phenom Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita).
It's hard to believe that in the year 2004, that not every country in the world is free. There is no better example of the this than the attacks America felt on September 11th, 2001, when the Twin Towers in New York City were hit by hijacked planes.
Where has all the heart and humor gone?
In the latest computer-animated extravaganza from DreamWorks Pictures, Will Smith lends his voice to a fish named Oscar, who happens to be a fast-talking fish who dreams of bigger and brighter things.
Okay, if you were to ask me last week how many movies I planned to see at this year's Vancouver International Film Festival, lovingly referred to as VIFF by film geeks young and old, then I would have told you I had a tentative schedule of nearly 50 ready and lined up.
