  • "Ed Wood" Is a Very Strange Movie About a Very Strange Real Life Director  By : Ed Bagley
    "Ed Wood" is a biographical movie about Edward D. Wood, Jr. who has been dubbed the worst director in the history of filmmaking. The movie depicts the life of Ed Wood in the 1950s and shows Wood as a very determined director with virtually no financial backing and no real talent. Wood liked to direct really bad films and enjoyed dressing as a woman on the set. Johnny Depp stars as Ed Wood.
  • "Meet the Fockers" Gets a Real Boost From De Niro and Hoffman  By :
    Meet the Fockers is the best comedy I have seen in a long time. This movie could have been easily over-the-top with its descriptive title, but there is no hint of it in the presentation. A believable story line and an all-star cast with former Oscar-winners gave this comedy a real boost of professionalism.

  • "The Departed" Is Best Mob Film Since Mario Puzo's "The Godfather" in 1972  By : Ed Bagley
    Let me get to the most important thing first: Director Martin Scorsese won an Oscar for "The Departed".

  • Four Average Movies: Two Messy and Two Unpretentious  By : Ed Bagley
    Here are four average movies, two of which are pretty screwed up (The Family Stone with Sarah Jessica Parker, Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson and Rachel McAdams, and Mona Lisa Smile with Julia Roberts) and two of which are unpretentious and easy on the eye (Indian Summer with Diane Lane and Unlikely Angel with Dolly Parton) Despite being pure fluff, I would rate the last two better than the first two.

  • These Two Films Create Confusion or Unbelievably Overblown Drama  By : Ed Bagley
    Ocean's Eleven is a confusing film about a $160 million heist of three Las Vegas casinos from an impenetrable safe 200 feet underground.

The Hours features three depressed women from three different generations trying to cope with life, some Academy Award-winning performances and a story line that is even more depressing and repugnant.

  • Two Films With Tons of Recognition That Leave This Viewer Unfulfilled  By : Ed Bagley
    A lot of moviegoers saw Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World as a great picture with great acting and pretty much a shoo-in for a handful of Oscars. I did not see it the same way, nor did the Academy. The Lion in Winter is a 2 Star movie with some 4 Star (Excellent) performances. Both movies stir no emotion in me, foment ill will and breed confusion when clarity should rule the day and resolution should be the result.
