Fast Times At Ridgemont High
»rank: 1437
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Before he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) was a reporter for Rolling Stone who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it. He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the careers of several young actors, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, and, above all, Sean Penn. The story line is episodic, dealing with the lives of iconic teen types: one of ...

Where The Buffalo Roam
»rank: 10827
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Bill Murray is in his early-career, shambling glory as Hunter S. Thompson, the gonzo journalist with a fondness for Wild Turkey and firearms. While Murray does not do as exact an impersonation of Thompson as Johnny Depp (in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), he does capture Thompson's dazed, anarchic nature. Unfortunately, the movie around him is just anarchic: a series of episodes (true or invented) from Dr. Thompson's career, circa 1968-72. The haphazard structure is probably meant to suggest the spirit of the counterculture or something, but it's ...

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
»rank: 11463
Chroniques et points de vue: :0ne of the most acclaimed films of 2005, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada marks the assured and worldly-wise directorial debut of veteran actor Tommy Lee Jones. While the majority of critics and 0scar®-voters heaped praise upon the 'gay cowboy' breakthrough of Brokeback Mountain, Jones delivered this equally resonant, elegiac study of male friendship in a Western setting, crafting a flawless parable of borderline existence on the border of Texas and Mexico. lt is there, amidst some of the most beautifully bleak landscapes in recent American film, that Jones and ...

Fair Game (Full Screen)
»rank: 21319
Chroniques et points de vue:From :She's a lawyer. He's a cop. Some former KGB-types with a wide variety of slippery accents and enough sophisticated technological surveillance gadgets to make one wonder how the Soviet Union could have possibly failed, want her dead. The cop (William Baldwin) is the only man who can save her. lt helps that the high-powered attorney is played by Cindy Crawford, who gives new meaning to the phrase 'habeas corpus.' So the plot doesn't make any sense: First they try to kill her, no questions asked. Then they capture her ...

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clau
»rank: 33230
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Santa movies can't help straining credulity--they're about Santa. Where some succeed in making us wish we were 6 years old again, though, l Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus only makes us wish we were stupider. That way, we'd be able to buy its premise, which is about as shatterproof as a bag of last year's candy canes. Eight-year-old Justin is in the running for a spot at the top of Santa's nice list as the holiday season roars in. He's a model student, sweet natured, and, unlike his buddy ...

Thelma and Louise (Widescreen Special Edition)
»rank: 24408
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Thelma & Louise is a feminist manifesto writ large on the big screen, a smart and funny gender reversal of the standard Hollywood buddy formula, a road movie extraordinaire, with characters who became instant cultural icons. No matter how you define it, Ridley Scott's 1991 box-office hit pinched a nerve and made the cover of national news magazines for tweaking gender politics like no movie before or since. Callie Khouri's screenplay overhauls the buddy formula with its story about two best friends (Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis) who embark ...
