I think the critics got it all wrong. I loved this "Elizabeth!" I found it moving, funny, and enjoyable. It's one of my films on my Top 10 for 2005. Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst have amazing chemistry. Give the movie a chance.

"The Fog" was suspenseful, not scary. That's the problem with all these PG-13 horror films. They water down the scares and gore to appeal to a wider audience. Something is lost when films try to pander to a bunch of 12-year-olds who have no idea this is even a remake. The makers should have gone all out to really freak out the audience.

I just saw Elizabethtown (yes, Elizabethtown) and only because I was forced to.

It was as bad or worse than I expected, and I expected very little. It was endless mayhem onscreen as Orlando Bloom did his "girly" thing. Meaning he was being a girl for the whole movie.

Piece of crap. Don't see it- go see A History Of Violence. I've seen it twice. 3rd best all year.

Was HORRIBLE!!!! I only went because I was treated? to this thing called a movie. Adrianne Barbeau, where are you? the original FOG was a classic compared to this

Yeah, History of Violence was great. Great characters, great acting... And everyone who deserved violence done onto them got it at the end.

I don't see Elizabetown, but, if like the critics says, Orlando is copying Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire, it is the proof Orlando is not an actor but just some kind of a guy without appeal but cute.
It is also said that Crowe isn't happy with his performance. gossips can be true here!

I've seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang here in Paris, it is excellent, very funny, unusual comedy. Downey is fantastic.

Absolutely! Serenity is a great film and nobody's seeing it! My wife even liked it and I normally have to drag her to the sci-fi flicks! Oh well... I guess we'll just keep living in a world where "American Idol" is a big hit. People make me sick.

Serentiy was a real good movie, my wife loved it as well and she also usually hates scf-fi movies . She is still talking about it and that was three or four weeks agod when we saw it. i wasnt expecting it to be that good it kind of blew me away. It just makes me sick that people go see these crap movies that shouldnt have been made in the first place instead of seeing movies that actually have a good orginal story and good acting. I do like cameron crowe though and think he should have gotten better people for elizabethtown
