"One of the most popular sex scenes of all time is the kitchen scene from the 1981 version of The Postman Always Rings Twice. But many people find the more implicit parts of the 1946 version to be sexier. These people include the earlier film’s female lead, Lana Turner, who wrote in her autobiography, “[The makers of the 1981 film] didn’t have to worry about the censors. I’d had to project a rather intense sexual presence, but always with my clothes on. I was amused to read that [NY Times film critic] Vincent Canby considered the remake a pale, rather sexless imitation of my version.” Yes, a film with neither nudity nor simulated lovemaking can be quite sexy, likely sexier than an explicit remake, for innuendo and other teasing maneuvers around either the Hays Code or the MPAA ratings board’s restrictions are far more tantalizing than any bare and balls-out displays of graphic sex common in movies today. Though many cl "

"I was a bit disappointed in this movie. Even George Clooney's good looks and clever lines couldn't keep me from losing lost interest half way through. I think that this was doing the string of Jennifer Lopez films and flops like Gigli. Not the best role for her, I think. I wouldn't really recommend this one. It doesn't have enough going for it to be worth a rental. "

"Over the weekend, Wanted had a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com. It’s since gone down to 81% (at the time of this writing — and with top critics it’s down to 67%), though that’s still pretty good for a movie that initially looked like just another Matrix knockoff. But will the good reviews make for great box office? Last night, while viewing the latest trailer in a theater with some friends, I mentioned that Wanted was receiving great reviews. Nobody believed me at first, and then they didn’t care; they still thought it looked terrible. Good reviews rarely help an action movie, and bad reviews rarely deter audiences from seeing them. However, if we look at the top 5 most critically acclaimed action movies, it’s clear that people do often prefer a good action film to a bad one. The next 5, on the other hand… The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003) Rotten Tomatoes’ “T-Meter” score: 94% (top critics: 98%) All Time Domestic Box Office Rank: #9 ($377 million) Sam "

"One thing that makes Once wonderful is how prickly The Guy (Glen Hansard) is to The Girl (Markéta Irglová) when they first meet.Writer-director John Carney can be read as playing with the “meet cute” convention of romantic comedy in the initial scenes between Guy and Girl. The first subversion of form is in how the two encounter each other. Classically, circumstances contrive or conspire to bring the romantic protagonists together and into close, intimate contact by, say, making them share the last seat on a bus or the trunk of a car. Here nothing in particular brings Guy and Girl together. She notices him in the course of daily life and then, in a further break with convention, makes an affirmative choice to approach him. There is no fated coincidence at work (I do think that the happenstance of the vacuum cleaner is a nod and wink at the idea that the two leads are “meant to be”). Typically, upon meeting, romantic leads will undergo an alchem ... "

"Out of Sight is one of four movies that I’ve accidentally rented after I’d already seen them (also: Spanish Prisoner; Notorious; The Score). The first scene and I know I’d seen it before and can even remember some of the pseudo-witty dialogue, but I still cannot remember the plot. The movie is forgettable because it is a piece of fluff—but very well-made fluff. George Clooney is the sexy and handsome as the perpetual bank robber; Jennifer Lopez is mercurial, changing with each photo angle, just like her conflicted character, a law enforcement officer; Don Cheadle is perfectly slimy and irritating as the small-time gangster; and Albert Brooks is effective as the white-collar-crime guy whose diamonds become the target of the climactic heist. Even the music track is unusually good—it features an electric bass playing hip lines with minimal accompaniment, perfectly suited to the smart-alec tone of the movie. This is another script from an Elmore Leonard no ... "

"Been a big Elmore Leonard fan for a while, and had read the book this was based on when it was first released. At the time, I really felt that this would make a great movie, but when the movie came out, I was initially disappointed in the casting, and on the first viewing in '98 I was underimpressed. Not really fair to the movie, as I have a tendency to get disappointed in most adaptations that I grow attached to beforehand. I felt Jenifer Lopez was a bad choice for the female lead, and overall, the great story got back seat to the romance angle.Recently got a chance to revisit this one and it has gotten better with distance. A lot of casting in the minor roles is brilliant, from Don Cheadle to Catherine Keener to Luiz Guzman to Ving Rhames, to Michael Keaton (actually playing the same character he played in another Leonard adaptation, Jackie Brown), and an absolutely hilarious Steve Zahn. The direction and screenplay are crisp and snappy and moves along at a nice pace, employi ... "
