"Four adopted brothers come together to bury the woman who raised them. At the funeral, the brothers discover that their mother was murdered, and they look to seek revenge."
"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 ..."
"Wenn Sie je Zweifel daran hatten, wie sehr ein Film vom Hauptdarsteller getragen werden kann, schauen Sie sich einfach Natürlich Blond an, Robert Luketics anspruchslosen Popfilm über eine Studentin, die sich auf der Harvard Law School zur intellektuellen Größe mausert. Der Film bemüht sich sehr, gerade als anspruchsloser Popfilm daherzukommen, aber glücklicherweise versteht er auch die ganze komische Herrlichkeit von Reese Witherspoon. ..."
"What do you get when you cross the director of I Know What You Did Last Summer with Sylvester Stallone? You get a slasher film in which the victims are not screaming, scantily clad teens, but parka-clad cops. Whether that's an improvement on the genre is open for debate. With Eye See You (which never hit U.S. theaters but was released internationally as D-Tox), Stallone's career has officially "Van-Dammed." But the role of FBI special a ..."
"John Guare's hit Broadway play--about an Upper East Side couple who gets bilked by a young black man claiming to be Sidney Poitier's son--receives a terrific screen translation in this film by Fred Schepisi. Though the play was discursive and episodic, Schepisi, working from Guare's adaptation, makes it all flow like a fascinating evening listening to friends recount something that happened to them. But the story itself is also intrig ..."
"First love can be innocent or intense, intoxicating...or insatiable. Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon and Alyssa Milano star in this riveting suspense-thriller about a passionate romance that soon becomes a deadly obsession. Nicole Walker (Witherspoon) always dreamed of being swept away by someone special - someone strong, sexy and sensitive who would care for her more than anything else in the world. David (Wahlberg) is all that and mo ..."

"Obwohl der smarte und coole Beck sich weigert, mit Pistolen zu arbeiten, ist er als knallharter Kopfgeldjäger im Untergrund von L.A. gefürchtet. Eigentlich aber plant Beck seinen Ausstieg aus der Headhunter-Branche: Er will stattdessen seinen Traum von einem kleinen, feinen Restaurant verwirklichen. Doch so einfach will ihn sein Boss Billy Walker nicht ziehen lassen. Zuvor muss Beck noch ein letztes Mal sein "Können" unter Beweis stelle ..."
"If you like the twisted, amoral characters that inhabit the world of pulp novelist Jim Thompson, you're going to love After Dark, My Sweet, one of the most faithful of many Thompson adaptations. Protagonist Kevin "Kid" Collins (Jason Patric), called "Collie" by those attracted to his shaggy dog side, escapes from a mental hospital and shuffles into a lonely desert town (and Patric really has the gait of a former pugilist down). Enter w ..."
"A Simple Twist of Fate, Steve Martin's second adaptation of a classic (after his Roxanne-ization of Cyrano de Bergerac), is a melancholy, dramatic comedy about a recluse coming out of his shell. Suggested by George Eliot's Silas Marner, this isn't a cutesy picture akin to Father of the Bride. It's much more heartfelt, gentle, and satisfying, as long as you accept its traditional and predictable conclusions. Scorned by life, Michael McCa ..."
