  28. The Philadelphia Story - I was Expecting to like this but overall be a bit bored by it. i was pleasantly suprised by what was a clever, quirky and sharp witted film. Here you have lots of great characters, some sterotypes they may be but this is taken with tongue and cheek that from a 40's movie i wasn't expcting. From the start when we see Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant's Fight, you get the idea that this isn't taking itself seriously, this though is probably the only kind of "Slap Stick" humour used, as through out the rest, you have a clever, sly and sarcastic style that i just loved. i loved the way that James Stewart's Character in a way unknowingly out smarts and steals the girl from the other 2 main characters fro a brief moment. i also loved the way that Cary grant at tmies, it seemed like he knew that it was all going to work out, and that he kind of enjoyed watchnig Hepburn's Character fall in and out of love with the other 2 and he enjoyed the attempts of the other 2 because its like he knew it was gonig to be him inhe end, like he could relax and enjoy the wait, that was great! So to conclude i have to say that i really really enjoyed this. it had the humour i like and i wasn't expecting it too be like that. i thought it would be a very Straight down the line love story, but what you get is a quirky, slightly off the wall look, great characters, mixed with great sense humour and a sort of ease. Not only is a great film, it is one of the funniest, see it now.

  50. Zero Effect -This movie has the popular culture vibe of Reality Bites mixed with the Intelligence and dark humour of Fargo and Jackie Brown. Bill Pullman shines in this, i thought i'd like ben stiller's character better but i didn't but don't get me wrong, ben was great but bill pullman is the star here. his character has a great easy going nice guy quality that really works, though his character has two sides to him, which is kind of the selling point of the movie, he when is working is smooth and clever, though when he's not working he is goofy and lazy, and this makes the character so much more appealing. but also the way that though he is different in his outside of work life, its the littlethings that he carries over that make it funny. like his attention to detail, he uses that outside work aswell which makes for some very funny moments. this movie is a great drama aswell, the case they are trying to solve is a greta story and is well put on the screen. one of my favourite moments is when ben stiller's character just leaves the motel where he is staying and meets the client Gregory Stark. here ben stiller gives one of his greatest lines, after Mr.Stark has been pestering Ben's Character for a while he says this very funny line, in true ben style: "I'll shoot you. Really, I will. I have a gun and everything" this is one of the great comedy moments in this movie. all in all this is a great watch, its clever, funny and has a style too it. too me its a cross between the brilliant Reality Bites and the Modern classic, Fargo. the only reason that this just (and i mean JUST) misses out on The A Mark is there is alot to take in with the story, alto fo twists and details that need to be heard and sometimes that takes away from it but in all that is where the comedy comes from, from Bill Pullman's Attention to detail and his quirky ways of figuring out life and finishing the job. Great movie, thx Jim.

Movies from the 90's and 00's By Grade

Without having seen Midnight Cowboy, I can recommend you Schlesinger's brilliant Marathon Man, starring Dustin Hoffman and the amazing Laurence Olivier.

Rushmore03/27/2005

thans for the tip. i'll be sure to add it to my screenslect.co.uk list. i really like what i've seen of dustin's films. Midnight cowboy is classic and The Graduate is just as good. i also want to see straw dogs and Rain Man.

192203/27/2005

I'd like to see Midnight Cowboy (of course), Rain Man, Kramer vs. Kramer, Tootsie and All the President's Men. So, way to go.

Rushmore03/27/2005

good luck, man! i've seen 20 mins of Kramer Vs Kramer, it was very good.

Rushmore03/29/2005

Saw Marathon Man just now, i really liked it. it was one of the best 70s movies i've seen. it was great because Dustin played it so well that you really felt for this poor guy who was stuck in the imddle of this extreme situation, woh really all he wanted was to have a nice easy life. truely a great movie!
