Road to Perdition (2002)
Oscar 2003?!
I haven't seen The Pianist but I have seen Chicago. How come Chicago had so many nomination (and Oscars) and this movie none.
Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, director, script writer, camera, and (especially)music all deserved at least nominations.
As if nobody from the academy hadn't even seen this movie.
This isn't a great movie but it is one of the best movies in 2002. Far better than some that won Oscars.
Gangs of New York (2002)
Far too long.
There is at least 60 minutes with absolutely nothing. It could have been simply cut out. This would have been a good movie if it was 90 minutes long. Like this it was just - booooring.
The Searchers (1956)
Boring
I'm a big fan of John Wayne. I am not a big fan of John Ford (though I do like few of his movies).
This movie is boring. Don't watch it.
If you want to see some westerns please try Howard Hawks, Anthony Mann or Sergio Leone.
Le pacte des loups (2001)
Strength and Honor
Fight scenes, Asian style. Beautiful women, European style. Facial expressions, Hollywood style.
Please, don't take this movie seriously, just enjoy yourself.
The Time Machine (2002)
Bad ending
The movie is very fun to watch until the very end.
First: Throughout all movie our hero is desperately trying to save his sweetheart and then he forgets all about her because of the first woman that smile at him (I admit Samantha Mumba looks very pretty, but still).
And second: There are bunch of ugly, nasty monsters terrorizing poor defenseless humans and kidnaping our hero's (new) sweetheart. I think we deserved a bloody showdown with extensive use of firearms (I mean he Is an XIX. century American). Clint Eastwood style of ending would have been much more suitable here.
Dracula (1994)
Beautiful actresses in the 18th century underwear.
One of the best porn movies I've ever seen. It has 18th century dresses (actresses look great in underwear!), good interiors, horse carriages, even a castle. All actresses are very pretty (even those that have only small parts). And there is Ron Jeremy (really good as a villain). What more more can one want from a porn.
PS: Don't be surprised in the beginning, it takes over 10 minutes before the first f..k.
