"Is romance dead? David Carr seems to think so, at least in American cinema (both Hollywood and “Indiewood,” as he inclusively clarifies). While celebrating the subway station meet-cute from the beginning of Milk, a scene he claims to be of an increasingly rare sort, Carr states that American filmmakers “can do romantic pathology and entropy, but the kind of love for the ages, a big-movie kind of love? Not so much.” If you agree with him, blame the back-to-back Best Picture winners Titanic and Shakespeare in Love for feeding us the kind of romance that’s so cheesy it clogs our arteries and gives us a coronary. Left with a burst heart and a lack of quality Nora Ephron movies, most of us have been cynics when it comes to love stories these past ten years. Yet cynics can still be swept off their feet, and American filmmakers h "

"When I saw this in the theatre I was a little underwhelmed by it. I mean this is by the guy that did The English Patient which is one of my favorite films so I was really psyched about it. Maybe I had to high of an expectation because in the theatre this film fell flat. Fast forward to now and I realize how wrong my first impression was this is truly a haunting piece of visual narrative. The cast with the exception of Rene Zellweger was take it or leave it but the direction the visuals and the score where enough to make me change my tune. I haven't read the book and now I want to. I would say definiley put this on your Netflix cue and watch it as soon as you can. "

"I never gave Cold Mountain a perfectly fair viewing, as I was ironing, folding laundry, cleaning up dishes, answering the phone, and so on. I watched it primarily because Anthony Minghella, the screen writer and director, has the rare and wonderful talent of thinking through a movie as a good novelist might. If you saw The English Patient or The Talented Mr. Ripley, you know how well a Minghella movie holds together, and if you have heard an interview with Minghella, you realize that he crafts his movies very consciously so that every detail contributes to the whole. But, even though Cold Mountain got more award nominations in Britain than any other film last year, it is still not as good as The English Patient or The Talented Mr. Ripley, and, in my view, is not particularly good, period. People who have shared such reservations about this block-buster movie have said the problem is that Nicole Kidman is too beautiful as the min "
