Date Night (Extended Cut)



A modern screwball comedy
This is in the tradition of the screwball comedies of the 30's and 40's, briefly reborn in movies like "What's Up Doc." The chase scene is actually one of its weaker elements, except for the part where the two cars get locked together, which is hysterical. Yes, the ending is a little pat, but some good points are made. And who cares, if you're laughing along the way? Tina Fey and Steve Carell are in top form; they can do more with facial expressions and tone of voice that most comic actors can do with the whole screen. Of the cameos, the one with the "real" Tripplehorns (James Franco and his wife?) is the real delight. I can't see why anyone wouldn't enjoy it, but I would say this is most likely to appeal to actual married couples--maybe not so much to the younger set, the kids. To those who think the "bored couple" part wasn't funny: you've either never been part of a bored couple (congratulations!) or you're part of one now and can't see the humor in it (sorry).

A charming, big-hearted comedy
I saw this in the theater twice with different friends and then watched it again last night with my husband. Even on the third viewing, I was laughing out loud. Now admittedly I enjoy almost all comedies (even dumb ones) and I'm a huge fan of both Tina Fey and Steve Carell. If you don't like Frey in 30 Rock or Baby Mama or Carell in 40 Year Old Virgin or Little Miss Sunshine, of course you're not going to enjoy this movie; the actors aren't breaking any new ground here.

I found Date Night not only funny but charming, one of the most enjoyable comedies I've seen recently. While the couple fights at times, ultimately they are genuinely kind and enjoy each other. The humor isn't mean-spirited and snarky, like, for example, Get Him to the Greek or Grown Ups. (I loved Get Him to the Greek, btw, and hated Grown Ups, which was too dumb even for me.) Date Night manages to be warm-hearted but not sentimental or cloying. It's refreshing.

I will say it gets off to a very...

Tina Fey & Steve Carrell are excellent in this frantic, uneven comedy
In order for a movie packed full of unlikely plot-developments and general silliness like DATE NIGHT, a cast that's easy to love who have razor sharp comic timing and mastery of their tone is needed. Fortunately, Steve Carrell and Tina Fey meet all three requirements, and thus, DATE NIGHT works on many levels.

Carrell and Fey play a nearly middle aged married couple with kids. They have a comfortable suburban life, and are still fond of each other, but they are also clearly just a bit worn out by life. "Date Nights" for them consist of going to a local steak restaurant, with worn-out décor and no sense of romance whatsoever. And in time-honored, clichéd tradition, they wonder if they are still in-love with the other...because they see their closest friends getting divorced. I hate the way Hollywood likes to make us think that no long term marriage could possibly still be happy and fulfilling. True, raising a family and nurturing a career and paying...

Straight Right



Unbelievable movie - I was stunned!
This movie floored me. It's not often that a movie affects me like this one did. As a matter of fact, the last movie that had this kind of affect on me, even though it is very different, was The Crow.

At the end of that one, I just layed my head down on my girlfriend's lap and cried - and couldn't stop. I think maybe it was because of what happened to Brandon Lee, but it was actually kind of embarassing, I just couldn't stop.

With this movie, it was just the absolute pain that the protagonist was in, all from not being able to get over the traumatization of what happened to him when he was a child. He starts trying to keep the same thing that happened to him from happening to other kids, but with disastrous results.

I was just rapt the entire movie, watching it unfold, wondering where it would go. And where it did end up going was tragic, but it was also compelling and beautiful. And while I didn't lay in my (now wife's) lap and cry the way I did...

vive le noir
best B noir in a long time. would have been good in black & white. if u like noir and don't mind taking a trip down the rabbit hole pay the toll and take the ride.

straight right; right in deed
if you ever seen a child abused and wanted to teach the person who abuses children a lesson in pain. this movie is for you I hope it inspires people to take the law in their on hands and teach child abusers and wife beaters a lesson the wont forget. buy this film itll make you feel good

Devils of Darkness - 1965



Not bad
Decent 19 60s movie but not my thing however 5 stars for the actors costumes and atmosphere were really well done

Great Classic
I love this movie... Its very gothic and very atmospheric. Great storyline. I never get tired of watching this movie..

Pretty good
I love the old vampire movies I dont really like the new ones,because they take away the horror and realness of the film, just fighting and killing not real suspense which the old ones have. This one is quite good much to my surprise, it was enjoyable and the actors were good also.

Gabe: The Cupid Dog



truly Fun and entertaining
What a cute movie.... it is one of those would watch again... fun, cute, good acting, good plot and perfect family fun. I wish we could watch this type of movies on reg TV... I m so glad for Amazon Prime instant Video.

Cute Movie!
My 6 and 8 year old grandsons liked it and I thought it was cute. I'm always looking for something appropriate for them to watch - they'd much rather watch things exploding or people and monsters fighting. I'm happy when we find something fun that the whole family enjoys without violence.

movies with Kirstin Dorn
Have many with her. This movie is good. Will watch more but some are hard to find. Good luck hunting.

the ah of life



A thinking movie
Do you like to think? Do you like to think when you see a movie? Do you like movies that are not formulaic? Do you find yourself watching the same movie over and over even though the title is different? This movie will make you think about your life. It is told through vertical time and the music is beautiful. Actors are believable and empathetic.
