REVIEW(***) |
The title here refers to an actual bar in New York City,
which is considerably glamorized for the film.
I like the setting of the story actual barCoyote Ugly
Girls who work at Coyote were attractive and sweet and
ambisious. But probrem was central role of this film.
There's the decision to cast the dubiously talented
Piper Perabo in the central role.
Perabo, whose whine and idiotic grin aren't
exactly endearing.
Will Violet finally write her one big hit?
Will she and Kevin get back together?
Will her father ever forgive her?
Needless to say, there's little suspense involved
in any of these all-too-predictable plot points.
Garcia, who has a certain rakish charm,
I wanted to see another his talent
and Goodman, who seems to be the only person to
realize how dopey this is, emerge unscathed.
Anyway it was just Jerry Bruckheimer's movie isnt'it?

REVIEW(*****) |
To tell the truth it was the first up-dated movie review this site.
Bonnie Hunt stakes out her place as the creator
(director, co-writer, and supporting actor) of this softhearted tale
of lovers. I thought Films making or producing by women tend to
half-baked melodrama or sloppy romantic comedy.
But it stay away from it,well-script,not lavish casting was good.
Before I watched it in movie theater I curioused "What's David.Duchovny
's romance movie?" But it worked. My ex-boss who should haven't been
interested about movie however he cried at movie theater.

Review(***) |
Time setting after WW2,we can find why Paul easy to hitchhike.
On the other hand, we realized how difficult to convince
traditional men like Victria's father.(Part of fathers...,
we could say it would be same.)
If I was Albert, man who appear suddenly then ask marriage
his son, I would got heart attack.
If story concept was ordinary happy ending like
overcome his war-trauma and got married Victoria...
it would be boring story.
But in the climax, family lost everything by
fire which was named "arrogance".
Paul changed breeze of hope for family.
Keanu is second of none playing like person who
"provide a breath of fresh breeze" role .
His role is appearing somewhere from don't got mad
so furious but don't sweep easily.
Breeze change many kinds of style against our predict.
He's appropriate to play someone like Paul.
this role I suppose.
A. Quinn who play Pedro was always good.
His Irish-Mexican's personality was eventually
showed up on the screen.
I'm so sorrow he is not current actor. |

REVIEW(*****) |
I watched this movie first time in movie thather as movie trailer.
My first impression for this movie."It would be good"
Then I watched it at home. I thought why I didn't go to
see movie theather? Then now.
More watch it more give good impression.
Drawing human drama,police story,tricky line...
I've watched suspense movies ever, I haven't
watched movie that quote the line from Shane.
The lines from Shane has been key to
prove Danny 's innocence.
If you had the chance to watch it , don't miss
those lines.
Danny:I like westerns ,like Shane
Sabian:It's interesting. That you pick and such a hero dies.
D:What are you talking about? He dosen't die.
He rides off into the sunset and the kid says
"Come back Shane"
S:That's a common misconception ,in the last fraise,
he' slumped over on his horse.
D:I didn't know that.
Two sophisticated actors Jackson and Spacey made it
better than A Time To Kill
It would keep you on the edge of your seat.

REVIEW(****) |
Yeah,I realized I like R.Redford.
When Spygame was released the movie compare with that,
the movie was different. Condor was cooler than B.Pitt.
And how to burnish all of mate of Turner.
They killed silenty, one by one, looks like not murder.
Nowadays stereo-type Hollywood action movies which
connected CIA or FBI using CGI or bombing too much and
too mucu grotesc sequence.What's for Hum?
"What's for" I have a chance to think this movie,in a a way
It was high quarity of thriller movie.
The sequence Turner blow his mind and called for CIA
call center from public phone. Easy to think.
I like that than drawing an unbelievable sequence.
He showed the pride that he didn't fall in love
instantly with Cathy. Last days of him he said
come with me...for women wi thought it was persuasive.
And Danaway, her fashion cordinate was really good.
Also apartment style was good.
Turner's actions were really cool in the movie though
M=V= Sydow stole his limelight in a way.
He predict his furture if he would stay in CIA but
he didn't instruct him and kill him just do his work.
He would just thought don't follow his road.
The last sequence reminds me men'd dream.
How difficult to stick to own dream.

REVIEW(****) |
There was no his movie coming which impress for me
I meant it's worse to see movie theater.
Even Last Samourai,for me,Tom seemed beyond his
abiity.Probably,this movie took a place behind his
movie Jerry Mcguire.
Whenever I watched his movies, I wanna see a movie
which seemed beyond his ability.
I don't care much about how to hold a gun how to behave
a hit man something like that in a movie,he succeeded
to vanish his original smile. It's good for villain.
Also supporting actor was about to steal limelight away
Tom. Jamie was really good.
Especially when he after freak out.
Think about character Max and Vincent they're different
on the surface.
But we could say they don't have enough to skill how to
deal human relationship by all mean.
Max gave love of his family on the other hand Vincent was no.
As result Max hasn't able to dream come true, Vincent
tried to do all of things.
They found something in each mind which don't have in their mind.
"collateral" meant "payback" and "victim".
At first they wanted "payback" each other but at last they had
a scar...
By the way, in a club sequence Paul Oaknfold's song Lady steady Go
was used didn't you notice?

REVIEW(*****) |
"The best partner is better than friend, but not boyfriend
or girlfriend or lover because it's not intimate."
That cliche run when the movie come to Japan.
Probably movie meant if you would wanna have a life
partner, you don't wanna intimate relationship for partner.
Then this movie's sequel coming in Japan.
I was able to watched it on TV.
I seldom watch romance movie though
It was my best 10 roman movies.
Because they have totally different of quality of life
love, think etc but they argue each other.
They were able to file and forget any old how.
Probably their base was "broken-heart-trip",
they got down and they wanted to open their hearts
for others who don't know about themselves.
Since olddays ,Love is Blind, before they met
each other (it meant before they broke up their lovers)
They weren't able to their different of quality of life.
So they talked each other for a long time then they
gambled their relationship. "One night love" or "lest for life"
As a result they choice "lest for life memory of love".
What do you think?

REVIEW(**) |
There was a old movie and there was lack of ability
of directing..the kernel of story was difficult
to understand for me.
When I watched this movie, I did ironing my cloths
(It meant how boring this movie sometimes)
At that time Lauren Bacall was really beautiful,
just she was beautiful, there was no special lines.
She couldn't resist men's violence.I don't know why.
Probabry it connected historical background.
Life policy of Frank was avaiable nowadays.
For example,Frank wouldn't impose sanction on
Johnny Rocco in hotel Largo even he was blamed Nora.
He said "There was no meaning even though you would
kill Jonny Rocco."
After that Hurricane went bad, guests of hotel Largo
went down the downstair of hotel
Lover of Rocco Gave has a kind of alcoholics
Because of Jonny gave alcohol whenever she said something.
She afraid of Hurricane and wanted to drink and finally
she found why Jonny used to love her,because her song was
really memorable.She sang for him but he didn't give anything.
Frank gave a whisky for her.
Finally Gave decided to sent a gun Frank to kill Johnny.
Frank was able to found to chance to kill Jonny.
It's too long to study "Boggy"? in the movie?
