"Pay It Forward is a multi-level marketing scheme of the heart. Beginning as a seventh-grade class assignment to put into action an idea that could change the world, young Trevor McKinney (Haley Joel Osment) comes up with a plan to do good deeds for three people who then by way of payment each must do good turns for three other people. These nine people also must pay it forward and so on, ad infinitum. If successful, the resulting networ ..."
"Sexe, mensonges et vidéo, dix ans après. Entre Altman et Mankiewicz, voici une nouvelle satire brillante et corrosive de l'American Way of Life, qui raconte en voix off comment Lester Burnham, quarante-deux ans, va tout lâcher : boulot, femme, famille, conventions. Certes, le propos n'est pas bien neuf. La réussite du film tient essentiellement aux talents réunis par Dreamworks, la société de production fondée par Steven Spielberg : à l ..."
"You wouldn't want to spend much time with the folks from David Rabe's play Hurlyburly. A sensation when it played on stage (with marquee names Harvey Keitel and William Hurt), Rabe's tale of the cocaine-influenced days of Hollywood in the 1980s i"
"Although it eventually runs out of smart ideas and resorts to a typically explosive finale, this above-average thriller rises above its formulaic limitations on the strength of powerful performances by Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. Both play Chicago police negotiators with hotshot reputations, but when Jackson's character finds himself falsely accused of embezzling funds from a police pension fund, he's so thoroughly framed that h ..."
"Readers of John Berendt's bestselling novel were bound to be at least somewhat disappointed by this big-screen adaptation, but despite mixed reaction from critics and audiences, there's still plenty to admire about director Clint Eastwood's take on the material. Readers will surely miss the rich atmosphere and societal detail that Berendt brought to his "Savannah story," and the movie can only scratch the surface of Georgian history, tr ..."
"Ever since this convoluted thriller dazzled audiences and critics in 1995 and won an Oscar for Christopher McQuarrie's twisting screenplay, The Usual Suspects has continued to divide movie lovers into opposite camps. While a lot of people take great pleasure from the movie's now-famous central mystery (namely, "Who is Keyser Söze?"), others aren't so easily impressed by a movie that's too enamored of its own cleverness to make much sens ..."
"Diejenigen, die John Behrendts gleichnamigen Bestsellerroman gelesen haben (auf Deutsch auch unter dem Titel Mitternacht im Garten der Lüste erschienen) mussten über diese Verfilmung wenigstens ein wenig enttäuscht sein. Doch auch wenn die Meinungen seitens der Kritiker und des Publikums sehr unterschiedlich waren, gibt es doch vieles, was man Clint Eastwood und seiner Herangehensweise an das Material zugute halten muss. Natürlich werde ..."

"In a time when it seems that every other movie makes some claim to being a film noir, L.A. Confidential is the real thing--a gritty, sordid tale of sex, scandal, betrayal, and corruption of all sorts (police, political, press--and, of course, very personal) in 1940s Hollywood. The Oscar-winning screenplay is actually based on several titles in James Ellroy's series of chronological thriller novels (including the title volume, The Big No ..."

"D'abord, il y a la ville elle-même, son charme et son indolence, les sourires paisibles et discrets de ses habitants. Pas tout à fait si paisibles. En arrivant à Savannah, le journaliste John Kelso (John Cusack) pense n'être là que pour couvrir un événement mondain. Alors quand son hôte Jim Williams (Kevin Spacey, éblouissant) tue l'un de ses propres employés, la donne n'est plus tout à fait la même. Les visages deviennent plus tro ..."

"Es ist der verstörendste und beunruhigendste Serienkiller-Thriller seit Das Schweigen der Lämmer. Dabei basiert Sieben auf einer Idee, die ebenso schaurig wie genial ist: Ein von den sieben Todsünden der Bibel besessener Serienkiller sucht sich ausschließlich solche Menschen als Opfer aus, die seiner Ansicht nach eine dieser Todsünden begangen haben. Er arrangiert jeden Tatort mit großer Akribie und erzeugt am Ort seiner Verbrechen grot ..."

"In 1897, American explorer Robert Peary brought Minik Wallace, a young Polar Eskimo, from northwestern Greenland to New York. During his 12 years in America, Minik's adoptive family went from riches to rags, and Minik's own life was shattered by the traumatic discovery of his father's skeleton on display in the American Museum of Natural History. Sent back to Greenland in 1909, Minik had to relearn his native language and hunting skills ..."
"A harsh, cutting, and wickedly funny look into the darker side of show business, Swimming with Sharks tells the story of a naive and eager assistant (Frank Whaley) and his slide into the cutthroat world of Hollywood power struggles. Whaley goes to work for a top movie executive (Kevin Spacey) who almost immediately begins to wear down his new assistant's exuberance with his whining, egomaniacal tantrums and relentless verbal abuse, ..."
