    The Place Beyond the Pines

    The Place Beyond the Pines




    This is a fairly long movie, so be prepared.
    This is an intense drama, a character study, a story of karma, a film that moves thru the intertwined lives of two generations of its protagonists.
    The acting is impeccable, the story enthralling, its effect long lasting.
    Few modern films reveal unadulterated human emotion this well.
    I highly recommend this film to those who appreciate good drama, good writing & good acting.

    I enjoyed it quite a bit. Not a perfect film, but one that certainly deserves kudos for its ambition. Reminiscent in pacing and story of 70s era dramas.

      I concur. Not a great film but certainly a good one. You know, I thought I had done a review on this a few months back when this was released on Blu-ray. I was probably thinking of doing one but forgot. Old age

          Not for the masses
          by George Bellefontaine
          That's The Last Castle. No it's not for the masses( the reason why it wasn't a blockbuster) it's for those of us who appreciate a well written story with a beginning, a middle, and end, and top notch drama with acting that makes you believe that all this is possible.
          This is a story about leadership,...

          I had mentioned a while back in some other thread about my interest in seeing this film.

          I am a huge fan of sci-fi, & of course The Wife detests it preferring the ubiquitous ‘chick-flic’, which I absolutely abhor.

          Well, I was hoping we might...

          Sam Mendes, husband of Kate Winslet, co-produced and directs this film based on Richard Yates 1961 celebrated novel of the same name. Kate stars as April Wheeler and her co-star from Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio, stars as her husband Frank. It starts off sweetly enough but descends into a modern day version...

          My wife is a big fan of Baz Luhrmann movies, and has been dying to see this one. Date night fell through to go see it in theaters, and then when it came out on Pay Per View we decided to wait just a big longer to rent on BD and get full high end HD audio and video in my theater. By the time we rented,...
