A Time to Kill (Widescreen)
»rank: 3842
Chroniques et points de vue:From :You wouldn't know it by watching the Batman movies they collaborated on, but this smart adaptation of John Grisham's novel proves that director Joel Schumacher and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman have some talent when the right project comes along. Schumacher had previously directed Grisham's The Client, and brought equal craft and intelligence to this story about a young Southern attorney (Matthew McConaughey, in his breakthrough role) who defends a black father (Samuel L. Jackson) after he kills two men who raped his young daughter. Sandra Bullock plays the ...

The Lost Boys: Two Disc Special Edition
»rank: 5706
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This 1987 thriller was a predictable hit with the teen audience it worked overtime to attract. Like most of director Joel Schumacher's films, it's conspicuously designed to push the right marketing and demographic buttons, and granted, there's some pretty cool stuff going on here and there. Take Kiefer Sutherland, for instance. ln Stand by Me he played a memorable bully, but here he goes one step further as a memorable bully vampire who leads a tribe of teenage vampires on their nocturnal spree of bloodsucking havoc. Jason ...

St. Elmo's Fire (Widescreen)
»rank: 7157
Chroniques et points de vue:From :A collective vanity piece for the so-called Brat Pack of the 1980s, this coming-of-age movie--written and directed by Joel Schumacher (A Time to Kill)--is a largely unbelievable ensemble piece about college grads having trouble getting a lift-off into adulthood. As in John Hughes's Breakfast Club--which has a lot of casting overlap with this film--each actor plays a rather narrow type with problems common to his or her classification. Some (as with Rob Lowe's seemingly doomstruck character) are more absurd than others. But absurdity isn't the issue in ...

Falling Down (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 6795
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This film, about a downsized engineer (Michael Douglas) who goes ballistic, triggered a media avalanche of stories about middle-class white rage when it was released in 1993. ln fact, it's nothing more than a manipulative, violent melodrama about one geek's meltdown. Douglas, complete with pocket protector, nerd glasses, crewcut, and short-sleeved white shirt, gets stuck in traffic one day near downtown L.A. and proceeds to just walk away from his car--and then lose it emotionally. Everyone he encounters rubs him the wrong way--and a fine lot of ...

Phone Booth
»rank: 15303
Chroniques et points de vue:amazon.ca:Les réalisations de Joel Schumacher, 8MM, Batman Forever, demandent souvent beaucoup d'indulgence aux spectateurs. La Cabine, bon thriller comptant sur la présence de l'acteur irlandais Colin Farrell, échappe heureusement à ce verdict. Dans une cabine téléphonique de New York, le téléphone sonne. Stu, jeune attaché de presse bouffi de prétention, ne peut s'empêcher de répondre. Grand mal lui en prend : à l'autre bout du fil, un psychopathe lui assure que s'il ne l'écoute pas, il sera abattu. Pour le convaincre, le fou tirera sur un proxénète passant par ...
