The Others, enjoys the wonderful play of Nicole Kidman. The nice fact about this movie is, you should watch the film until the last second to know what has really happened. Nicol Kidman’s acting is really, admirable, as ever. Beside her natural beauty, her mastery in acting attracts you …

Obviously, a review of ANY Stanley Kubrick movie is going to have the usual raves (visually stunning, technically masterful!) and the usual criticisms (the acting can feel a little…robotic at times, and there’s generally a certain bleak, emotionally distant view of the human condition). Those definitely apply to Kubrick’s …

Please don’t watch this film. Listen to the radio series, read the books, or watch the BBC television series as a far more worthy introduction to Douglas Adams. Alternatively, watch paint dry.
There are a few good things about the film. The visioning of things like the Heart of Gold …

This movie is simply disgusting. I don’t know what they were thinking when filming it? Hoping to spoil Christmas for everyone, and especially for kids? The mention of Santa in the title would certainly draw families and kids to see this - and they shouldn’t. The Santa here is …
