Pros: Great story, awesome acting
Cons: None
Summary: I first saw this movie when I was in school, and I thought it was amazing. It actually made me feel for the main character and that's something that's rare when I watch a movie. It's actually based on the true story of Professor John Nash and it's one ... read more

Pros: Good script, good direction, Crowe, great supporting cast
Cons: Connelly, score, a tad cold at times
Summary: For all my love of a good horror or action movie, it is truly the Drama that defines cinema. These are the movies that show us a side of human nature that will either uplift us and make us feel better about ourself such as in Good Will Hunting. Or they ... read more

Pros: Script; performances; twists; music; love story
Cons: Slow in parts; liberties with truth
Summary: A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001) THE GOOD: --Akiva Goldsman…perhaps the biggest surprise of this entire film experience. "A Beautiful Mind", a brilliantly written film comes from the same person who wrote one of 1998's worst movies, "The Avengers". His ... read more

Pros: One of the most suspenseful movies I've ever seen.
Cons: Absolutely nothing.
Summary: When I sat down to watch A Beautiful Mind, I expected it to be your everyday, mildly interesting "based on a true story" movie. Boy, was I wrong. As I sat down to watch it, I became utterly engrossed in its mind-bending plot. I became totally engrossed ... read more

Pros: Sensational, emotional, great cast, fabulous screenplay
Cons: Made me cry :-)
Summary: The previews to this film looked quite interesting, so one evening my mother and I ventured over to our neighborhood Regal Cinemas. Both of us came out red-faced and teary-eyed. Here's why:
This is perhaps one of the most emotional movies I ... read more

Pros: Best Picture deservedly so, Crowe with knockout performance
Cons: Slightly depressing subject matter of mental illness
Summary: My wife is a big Russell Crowe fan, so I felt compelled to take her to see A Beautiful Mind. I have been a big fan of Ron Howard ever since he was Opie, but that's another story. The freckle-faced kid has obviously grown up to be one of Hollywood's ... read more

Feb 2, 2003
Pros: An engaging movie, with a "Sixth Sense"like twist in the second act.
Cons: Too many critics splitting cilium over minor deviations from real Nash's life.
Summary: Russell Crowe is a pretty tough customer. Well, as tough a customer as one can be with the middle name of Ira and the old codger sobriquet, Rusty. He is, if he is anything, a roughneck genius, a bullyboy with a brain, a gold-hearted rowdy (as I exhibit ... read more

Pros: Hmmm.... most of the movie.
Cons: Few subplots...and weak ones at that. Nothing to detracting, though.
Summary: Merry Christmas, film lovers. John Nash has just entered the house, and man, is he setting the roof ablaze. Russell Crowe, one of my many main men (mehmehmehmeh. Tongue twister.) stars as the real-to-be-true (sort of) John Nash, a brilliant, but ... read more

Cons: perhaps too sympathetic to the characters?
