As we reach the 21st century, we are getting to a time where filmmaking is now a process that has gone on for many years. It's not a new idea, and it's got an old history to it. It must have been nice writing in the 30's because you were pretty sure that...
Being John Malkovich is one of those few movies that totally defies description. In most video stores, you will find it in the comedy section, and that's only because when it's over you will laugh at how absurd and oddly entertaining the whole ordeal...
Pros: A Bizarre Masterpiece from Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman. Cons: None.
1999 saw a slew of big films ranging from the first Star Wars prequel “Episode 1-The Phantom Menace” to the bleak, suburban “American Beauty”. Throughout that year, many films come and go. Some were good for the masses or indie-film ...
Pros: Incredibly original and clever. At times, this film is hilarious. Cons: The behavior of various characters tends to fluctuate dramatically.

Pros: Nobody can play John Malkovich like John Malkovich! Cons: The story, inventive as it is, always held me at arm's length from the story and the characters
You want original? Being John Malkovich has unconventionality out the ying-yang. Charlie Kaufman's weird-for-weird's-sake script throws formula out the window and claps with glee when it hits the pavement below.
Pros: Acting, direction, with a very entertaining and unusual plot. Cons: Editing can be a bit patchy at times.

Pros: It's both silly and thought-provoking. Cons: Some of the jokes don't fit.
Other than covering the basic plot in a rudimentary fashion, I refuse to expound upon anything that may detract from your own experience with this movie. That's not to say you'll necessarily love it, but it's one that you should see with no preconceived...
Pros: Cusack's performance along with Diaz's beauty Cons: Don't try understanding this film
For some people, taking a drug induced trip through different levels or reality mixed with levels of the subconscious might not sound like such a great time. But somewhere, in the back of the mind, the imagination wonders what it would be like to have an ...
Pros: original, great story, fabulous acting Cons: none

Pros: Original, brilliant and funny without shamelessly plugging the main idea Cons: The view through John's eyes
I would like nothing more than to meet the executive who greenlighted Being John Malkovich. I would like to walk up to him, shake his hand and compliment him for having the guts to even consider greenlighting some wierd fantasy that no other...
