I wouldn't agree with all of that. The guy's recording career -- like it or not -- is still an amazing accomplishment that is unparalleled in the recording industry. That does count for something. The weird, other stuff...yeah, it's sad. But the former part will stand the test of time as much as hi...

A masculine warrior who loses his family, and longs to be reunited with that family, and has a vision of that reunion as he lays dying, executed at the hands of a despot. Both films also feature an effete prince who hated his father -- a father who considered him a weak and unworthy successor. Are ...

Seconds (1966). (1) I would have preferred more clarity showing Tony/Arthur's dissatisfaction with his new life. Since it was established that Arthur Hamilton's daughter had moved West, and Tony was living in Malibu I kept anticipating a scene of Tony running into his daughter and that triggering a...

Although this isn't political, it comes from a political source, so I won't post it, but it really sums up what I think. http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MzkwYTNiMmI1Mzg0ZTNjMDNjNGQ0MWQ0MTgzMzAyZTg= Michael Jackson doesn't interest me in that I'll never read a book about him, but he is a per...

I think the most you could say about Braveheart being derivative is that some elements are reminiscent of Spartacus, whereas Gladiator is very similar to The Fall of the Roman Empire and...well, Braveheart. That may be the most YOU could say. I don't see anything ripped off from Braveheart in Gladi...

But they're not primarily the work of one man--I mean, this may come off as glib, but have you seen the lists of credits in his movies? I don't dispute that the art department, composer and other creative team members bring something unique to a film. I am just saying that a director like Peter Hya...

I don't see Jackson as being up there with the giants, but more of a fad. Elvis, Sinatra and The Beatles either performed and/or wrote songs that live in part because they can be interpreted by other performers--ironically, this preserves their PERFORMANCES because they are the spring from which so ...

That Peter Hyams is considered an auteur says all that need be said about this theory, to me. :? I am not saying Hyams' movies are necessarily great art, but the fact that he personally executes most of his films' key artistic tasks, gives him a degree of authorship that few others can claim (parti...
