"Kevin Spacey (American Beauty) spielt David Gale, einen brillianten, wenn auch schwer trinkenden Aktivisten, der sich dem Kampf gegen die Todesstrafe verschrieben hat und wegen angeblicher Vergewaltigung und Mord im Gefängnis seine Hinrichtung erwartet. Da das Opfer des Verbrechens Gales enge Freundin und Mitstreiterin (Laura Linney, You Can Count On Me) ist, scheint für ihn der Fall klar: jemand hat ihn hereingelegt, um die gemeinsame ..."
"He's back. A hero for our millennium. And not a moment too soon, because during the five years (much longer in movie-fan years!) Superman sought his home planet, things changed on his adopted planet. Nations moved on without him. Lois Lane now has a son, a fiance and a Pulitzer for Why the World Doesn't Need Superman. And Lex Luthor has a plan that will destroy millions - no, billions - of lives."
"Seitdem dieser verzwickte Thriller das Publikum und die Kritiker 1995 verblüffte und einen Oscar für Christopher McQuarries wendungsreiches Drehbuch erhielt, spaltet Die üblichen Verdächtigen die Filmliebhaber in zwei Lager. Während viele Zuschauer sich sehr am inzwischen berühmten zentralen Geheimnis des Films erfreuten (nämlich: "Wer ist Keyser Söze?"), lassen andere sich nicht so sehr beeindrucken von einem Film, der zu sehr in seine ..."
"K-Pax basiert auf einem Roman von Gene Brewer und ist -- gesegnet mit den Talenten der beiden Hauptdarsteller Jeff Bridges und Kevin Spacey -- am besten als Erwachsenendrama über die Selbstfindung zu verstehen. Bridges spielt Mark Powell, einen Psychiater in Manhattan, der denkt, dass er als solcher schon alles Mögliche und Unmögliche erlebt hat -- bis er an Prot (Spacey) gerät, einen Patienten, der behauptet, von einem abgelegenen Pla ..."
"In 1972, sinister and dark forces invaded my life from a nonphysical realm causing great fear to grip my heart. This experience led me to undertake a detailed search and study over a 35 year period of ancient writings dealing with the spirit realm.

"Sorti en 1995 sur les écrans, Usual Suspects a mis dans sa poche bon nombre de cinéphiles, et agacé pas mal de ceux qui se sont laissé piéger par ce scénario alambiqué à souhait, au montage particulièrement maîtrisé et au rebondissement final digne des plus grands films du genre. Quelques années après, que reste-t-il du deuxième film de Bryan Singer ? D'abord, une excellente surprise pour tous ceux qui l'on déjà vu : Usual Suspect ..."
"William Wharton's startling and moving novel about fathers and sons got an above-average film adaptation from TV's Gary David Goldberg, who wrote and directed. While the film couldn't capture the sadness and wonder of Wharton's worlds-within-worlds construct, it did get exactly right the notion of how one closes the distance from a parent or a child. Danson plays an ambitious businessman forced to put work aside to care for his aging pa ..."

"Almost FamousAlmost Famous is the movie Cameron Crowe has been waiting a lifetime to tell. The fictionalization of Crowe's days as a teenage reporter for Creem and Rolling Stone has all the well-written characters and wonderful "movie moments" that we expect from Crowe (Jerry Maguire), but the film has an intangible something extra--an insider's touch that will turn the film into the ode to '70s rock & roll for years to come. We are int ..."
