Thanks for the review, Adam. I'm looking forward to this one even more than I was before, nice to hear that the commentary is top-notch. And don't those menus look great? If only I could say the same about the cover!
No need to worry here. I saw this movie the day it came to my neck of the woods.
I loved this movie. Everyone in it was excellent, especially Sarah Bolger.
I don't have a problem admitting that I cried at this movie. I won't spoil the reason, but I'll just say that it was in relation to someone doing a good deed for a fellow human being. Those who have seen it will know what I'm talking about.
I had this movie at #3 behind #1 LOTR:ROTK and #2 Matrix: Reloaded/Revolutions.
This was my number one film of the year last year. I can't wait to own it on DVD. It's absolute travesty this didn't reach more people in theatres. This film is comparable to Shawshank Redemption. I think it's going to discover an equally mind boggling number of people and faithful adhereants on video.
When isn't May an expensive month? Every May in the past few years has had at least 10 new releases I wanted.
This year so far in May I'll be getting (I'm sure more will be announced):
DEFINITES:
The Last Samurai Loverboy In America X-Files S9 (and S8 which I never got) Good Bad Ugly SE Sex And The City S6 Pt.1 ST: Voyager S2 West Wing S2 Wyatt Earp SE Buffy S6 LOTR:ROTK
MAYBES:
Elephant Three's Company S2 The Fog Of War Saving Private Ryan D-Day Ed. (depends on A/V reviews)
Great review!!! This is one of the DVD releases that I look MOST forward to. I will be in line Tuesday on its release. Gonna be hard to wait though, so I'll have to push it out of mind until the date approaches.
This movie is an absolute must, and definitely in my top picks from last year.
I went to see this in the theatre when it finally came to my area, but actually almost went to see it at an advance screening in Chicago while we visted there last Thanksgiving. Sadly, we just couldn't seem to find the time to make the trek to the downtown theatre where it was playing.
My interest in the film came through the music. I'm an avid fan of The Corrs, the Irish sibling group, and their lead singer, Andrea Corr, was chosen to sing the main theme from this movie. It plays over the end credits.
I was rewarded with not only an interesting music score, but an exceptionally good film to boot.
Thanks for the review, Adam. It's still playing here in Albany (at the Spectrum), so I went to see it today. I wouldn't call it a must-see, but it was quite enjoyable, and those girls are absolutely adorable.
I saw this the first weekend it unspooled here, and it is indeed one of the best films of the year. Very strong, emotional story with great acting (especially the two girls.) It's a must see and I can't wait to own it. Thanks for the review.
