Like a Neon Sign.......2007-02-22

While I enjoy the romantic comedy genre, the script for this film plods and the story is so predictable that it actually was a bit tedious. That's not to say that the romantic aspects of the film aren't also enjoyable, because I did enjoy the film -- it just took me about 5 times to sit through the DVD. Michael Vartan from the Alias TV series fame has been in several romantic comedies like "Never Been Kissed" (1999) & "Monster-in-Law" w/ Jane Fonda & Jennifer Lopez (2005). Vartan is an interesting actor. Born in Paris, he began his early film career in French-speaking films. He has a charming boyish sincerity that plays well, even in this DVD. Natasha Henstridge came to attention in the Species series where she played in all three of those movies as well as in "The Whole Ten Yards" & "Bounce." The plot is predictable with the two fiancees each planning their weddings solo & then discovering that they've fallen in love. Olivia d'Abo, who is the daughter of Michael a'Abo from the rock band Manfred Mann, plays Vartan's wealthy fiancee that eventually gets dumped. The coincidences in the movie are a bit too numerous, pointing like neon signs to the ending where Vartan's Charlie Hudson & Henstridge's Anna Penn fall in love. This is a nice evening's entertainment, particularly if you really enjoy the romantic comedy genre. While Vartan & Henstridge do well enough, they still can't surmount the material. Enjoy!

This movie was a beautiful representation of what happens when two individuals are destined to be together. I enjoyed watching the story as it unfolded. The friendships within this movie were very realistic and heartwarming. I recommend this movie to anyone who is searching for evidence that divine love connections are possible.

Michael Vartan... mmmmmmm :).......2006-11-03

I bought this film because it Michael Vartan (Vaughn in Alias) plays in it... I never heard of it before my search, but it's surprisingly good !

Romantics, read on! Cynics, don't bother!.......2006-07-14

I read all the reviews of this movie before writing mine. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I've watched it at least 50 times and it makes me cry each time. I know, I'm a hopeless romatic and probably a total fool, but this movie is so sweet. I think Michael Vartan (!!) and Natasha Henstridge have chemistry that works in this movie. I also like the subplot of Henry and Tracy and them not knowing their best friends are the ones who are getting married to people they are not suited for. Maybe the writing and editing are poor, I'm not educated to comment in that area, but the movie is funny in many parts, depicting typical New York snobs such as the salesperson at Bulgari. The fact that they fall in love during the weekend they are both planning their weddings to other people is a fun twist. They do "the right thing" by not being together until they break up with their respective intendeds. Unlike most real life. Maybe love at first sight isn't smart or lasting or whatever, but remember - IT'S A MOVIE! It's for entertainment value, and I feel entertained each time I watch it. I like the music and wish I could find the soundtrack to buy. I have watched this movie with two of my guy friends, and both of them cried, although not as much as I did. The part that always gets me is at the end when they are in the park, pretending to fly to Europe and then she says she can't do it. Notice the look on Michael's face as the camera fades away...then the song..."have you ever loved somebody so much it made you cry?" Yes, I have. Yes, I do. Enjoy this movie for what it is, fun, romantic, with a (thankfully) happy ending.

Sweet.......2004-11-12

This is really not a bad movie. True, the script isn't the greatest thing and it is predictable, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. The plot is interesting, the situation is heartbreaking and the acting is pretty good. The problem this film has is that it is both a chick flick and a drama and it can't seem to decide which it wants to be. If you think you can live with that, then I recommend it. If you don't, then don't buy it. All you basically need to know about the plot is that two people, Anna and Charlie, meet the weekend they are both planning their weddings and they fall in love. And, of course, we all know what happens at the end, but all in all, it is still a pretty romantic movie.

Great Idea...........2003-07-18

Film-Fest is a great idea and I wish I'd thought of it. So what is "Film-Fest"?.."Film-Fest" is an interactive movie magazine that's entertaining as well as informative. And by the looks of how rare and what it costs to get back "Issues", they seem to be a collector's item as well.Just like any magazine it is filled with interviews,features,and short stories,these being in the way of "shorts" by up and coming young filmakers.And just like any other magazine, there are also advertisements(which you can fast foward through if you like). Film Fest is geared toward an audience that enjoys and is interested in the world of Independent filmaking.

I throughly enjoyed this issue of "Film-Fest 4".It centers around the Sundance 2000 and Hawaii International Film Festivals. The interviews and candid chats with such stars as Brenda Blethyn, Nick Nolte, Nathan Lane,Heather Graham,and Dave Foley among others were highly entertaining. What I most enjoyed were the shorts. Included is "Call Me Fishmael", a delightful animated short,"Enchanted", "Protest",a highly innovative piece about the endangered elephant, and the very charming "Jorge".These shorts may be watched with or without commentary from the directors and vary in length. You'll also find coming attractions for other films,a terrific feature on Seniors who surf, and lots of Film-Fest facts in the form of notes.

There's alot to look at. The interactive menu's are great. You can choose exactly what you want to watch, each section has their own menu's to navigate through, or you can just pop in the disc and let the DVD take you through the whole 2hr 10 minute view.

The DVD has a great picture and sounds nice as well. I had alot a fun, viewing this issue and will probably order some more, For those interested in this sort of thing, you can also order a subscription(which I'll probably do). It is the much more economical way to go.

Enjoy...oh and when you get to a menu that has a picture of Kevin Smith, be sure to click on this...he's always fun!...Laurie

My Favorite FILM FEST Issue.......2001-02-10

This is probably my favorite issue of this excellent DVD magazine series. Or maybe issue 3 is. I dunno. There is an outstanding short film on this disc called Protest that makes the whole disc. It's a must see if you are into computer generated animation - crank up the Aria, turn out the lights and stare at your screen - and the director's commentary on the alternate audio track really added to my already considerable awe. As for the rest of the disc, articles are cool, interviews are interviews, Call Me Fishmael is hilarious, Enchanted is a really solid student film out of Germany and Jorge is a charming, Quirky half hour short.

Informative dvd, if anything else........2000-12-07

I bought this for the interview with the stars of Committed. I thought it would be longer, its under 5 minutes. The interviews with Johnny Rotten and Dave Foley are nice. But if you're one of the many probably buying this for Heather Graham (unlike me), you might be disappointed. But at under $13, who can go wrong?

Very informative.......2000-10-14

I enjoyed this collection very much. If you're interested in press conferences and short films, I think you'll find this is a good look at what film festivals are like. But there is very little of Heather Graham on this DVD -- so don't be fooled by the cover.

In this 2000 concert, conductor Pierre Boulez and the Chicago Symphony tackle three 20th-century works that are the specialty of the orchestra's former music director. The suite from Alban Berg's unfinished opera, Lulu, is revealed as substantive and compelling. Soprano Christine Schaefer exquisitely sings Lulu's short vocal interludes, and is also featured in Claude Debussy's sublime vocal settings Le Jet d'eau et Trois Ballades de Villon. Finally, Boulez's forces give Stravinsky's first full-length ballet, The Firebird, an electrifying run-through.

As a bonus, there's a fascinating talk between Boulez and his successor in Chicago, Daniel Barenboim. For an informative 20 minutes, the maestros discuss their approaches to music, even touching on how to deal with Richard Wagner in the 21st century. --Kevin Filipski

modernist showcase of impassioned performances.......2001-12-03

The on-going winter residencies of Pierre Boulez with the Chicago Symphony is fast becoming legendary. Maitre Boulez began over ten years ago with concerts of the modernist repertoire of Berg, Bartok, Stravinsky, Webern, and proceeded backwards with fascinating readings of Mahler and Bruckner.
These relatively recent post-romantic rendevous for Boulez began many years ago with his associations with Otto Klemperer in London in the Sixties. Boulez was a frequent enthusiastic attendee to Klemperer rehearsals and these interpretive experiences have remained with him.

Here the selections from "Lulu" are sketchlike premonitions of the power of this subversive 12 tone opera. Ms.Schaefer sings in between well placed orchestral 'interludes' so that the ambience is much like a concert aria-tone-poem, without the vocal moments dominating. The CSO playing reflects typically the Boulez penchant for, clean, precise,balanced moments, not afraid of rendering ugly expressionistic timbres,structurally controlled to its details.The thorny, sculpted structures are very clear. Ms. Schaefer has a commanding stage persona,non-threateningly beautiful,with short auburn hair with a rich uncompromising voice, dark when necessary, and deeply mindful of the lyricism that was the creative center for Berg's aesthetic.
She brings this sensitivity to the two Debussy orchestral songs as well, one early work from Baudelaire and the three Villon settings from Debussy's mature years.

Included here as well is the complete "Firebird" something Boulez had actually instigated many years ago as opposed to indulging popular tastes with the quick fix "Firebird Suite".
The complete "Firebird" rendered within the concert hall venue only works if you have wonderful players, those who now, from CSO understand the Boulez interpretive vocabulary quite well. John Bruce Yeh the Eb Clarinetist is one formidable soloist in the well known dance, which extends past to more clarinet hih register exposure.Also Adolph Herseth, trumpet, Dale Clevenger, Horn, Charles Pikler, Viola, Samuel Magad, Violin. They all also impart their soloistic visions in the service of this massive work.
There is then a brief discussion between Pierre Boulez and Daniel Barenboim, this was quite interesting with a focus on some of Boulez's approaches to conducting the modernist repertoire, that there are more layers to clarify within modernist repertoire. They also spoke of the importance of Wagner, as the first modernist in retrospect.
