For those who think of Dame May Witty as the kindly, slightly batty, old lady from Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, this movie requires an adjustment. Here, she's anything but kindly or batty.

We often see movies about undesirable things going on in politics, but I still recommend "City Hall". In a role he was born to play, Al Pacino stars as New York's mayor who has to deal with the shooting of a boy. But it turns out that nothing that he does will really have any effect. In this movie, the characters are a... | Positive | null | null |
I have seen this film three times now, and each time I see it, it becomes more personal and more emotional to watch.<br /><br />The acting is amazing, which is not hard to believe since it is Daniel Day Lewis, who is an amazing actor.

One of the best comedians ever. I've seen this show about 10 times and will probably watch it at least 100 more.

I really enjoyed this documentary about Kenny and Spencer's attempt to pitch "The Dawn".

Certainly worth a watch. My only complaint ... | Positive | null | null |
Why does this have such a low rating? I really don't get it... Is it because of the bad acting? The bad dialogue? Well, who cares about these things in cheesy low-budget horror movies?

When I heard this film was directed by Ang Lee, I made sure to see it.

When two writers make a screenplay of a horror version of Breakfast At Tiffany's, you know something is going to go right.

In complete contrast to the opinions of the other review, this film actually was surprisingly good!

Having read some of the other comments here I was expecting something truly awful but was pleasantly surprised. REALITY CHECK: The original series wasn't that good.

Ah, noir. My favourite genre. Otto Preminger's follow-up to "Laura" is a film noir set in a postwar New York, where corruption and violence run rampant.

This is one of those westerns that, well, stands practically alone in the unrelieved quality of its dialog. Very few can hold up to it over the long haul. That said, the rest is pretty bad.
