"A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (2001) Truly I admire Steven Spielberg's works on film industry. He is one of my inspiration to pushtrough my dream to be a filmmaker. I like his films a lot especially his 2001, Artificial Intelligence. I was moved with the story and the dramatic effect which i call it, the spielberg effect. The element he puts on his movie makes someone,like me, feel the spielberg effect. It is the overall impact which all the elements come together to create a single effect. The idea of the whole story is well conveyed upon reaching the point where all the elements come to a single effect. The A.I is a craft by Spielberg which moved me in a way that makes me realize the importance of his message. Osment played the role of David, a robot designed to feel the emotions as human do. The best part i really like from A.I is when David searches for the Blue fairy and ask to make him a realy boy so his mom would love him. He spends his life waiting and hoping that his w ...

"This week I wanted to make a simple point: Andrew Stanton’s WALL-E is a near-masterpiece of A.I. proportions and socio-political implications, reduced by its cloying musical score to just another ingenious Disney/Pixar heart-tugger. The most effective way to illustrate this would have been to create a video mash-up of the WALL-E score and an immersive philosophical sci-fi like 2001: A Space Odyssey, THX-1138 or Tarkovsky’s Solaris. But my laptop’s down, so I’m stuck here telling you rather than showing. Let’s try another way: This column is written by a single man in his 30’s who spends a lot of time alone. If Disney or Sony or the Weinstein Company made a movie about my life, there would be lots of alienated, bassy sounds over shots of me staring red-eyed at a library computer screen; piano tinkling accompanying my pitiful walk home; despairing choral chants and Middle Eastern wailing as I trudge up to the arthous " [More]

"FORWARD: This is a review of two movies, "Black Hawk Down" and "Saving Private Ryan", while also discussing principals that I believe make for better movies. In this review, I hope to look at more than just these movies and look at movies in general more. These two movies have a lot in common, not just their classification as war movies, they seek to put the viewer in the action of the movie and they have similar underlying themes of brotherhood among soldiers and never leave another man behind. But there is (I find) a better one between the two, despite similarities and differences. To discuss this, one has to really step back from what is normally looked at in a review and take into account some film theory. Starting, however, with themes. There are several in these movies, particularly that of camaraderie mentioned before. This is one part that "Saving Private Ryan" does discuss very well, "Saving Private Ryan" asks where the line is to be drawn between the life of one man and ... " [More]

"A.I. is a cinematic chimera out of science fiction- it's as if Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick somehow merged together into one person and made a film that equaled the best of both of their films. Although we will never know what the film would have been like if it had been the full fledged collaboration the two filmmakers intended it to be (Kubrick died after completing multiple story conferences and early scripts with Spielberg), the result is a clear masterpiece- the best film of Spielberg's career. Like the best of Kubrick, the film is both cold and distant, while emotionally devastating at the same time. Kubrick's misanthropy would seem to contrast with Spielberg's innate humanism, but the movie manages to have it both ways. There are scenes in this movie of such depravity and tragedy that would make it among the most depressing of all films, and other scenes of such hope that the film also manages to be uplifting.[More]

"Yet more chaos in the wake of The Fall of the Globes: yesterday, we noted that if nothing else, a minimized Golden Globes would spare us the inevitable tribute montage to Steven Spielberg, who is due to receive a Cecil B. DeMille award at the ceremony. Now it appears that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has decided (surely not without some help from the Spielberg camp) that, rather than accept the award at this year’s glorified press conference, “it would be better” (?!?) for the HFPA to just give him the same award next year, when presumably, there will be a four hour telecast to further pad with tributes to Spielberg’s special way with imperiled children, animatronic dinosaurs, animatronic children and imperiled dinosaurs. I got the Variety email alert for this story, and I admit it??????I literally, audibly cried, “Bah!” Other than that, I’ve got nothing. Ho " [More]

Oh, What Could've Been...

is neutral about it.

"I know, I know...everyone seems to bitch about what a great movie A.I. could've been had Stanley Kubrick directed it. But it's true - watch the special features that come with the 2-Disc DVD set and you'll see what I mean. Some of the most powerful and startling images have been watered down for a "family friendly" feel. I will admit, though, that it's better than your average Spielberg film. It's beautifully shot and then ending leaves you with an almost overwhelming sense of loss and sadness. Not terrible by any means, but could have been one of the best films ever made - not just "decent by Spielbergian" standards. " [More]

"I would've never thought Spielberg directed this if I hadn't seen the credit. But that was before I'd seen Minority Report so if I were to see it now it wouldn't be as much of a shock. Anyway...I really wanted to like this movie. It just was a bit...I don't think I found any of the characters compelling or that I felt I could relate with. I need that connection to really get into a story and to really care. " [More]
