and now Minority Report. This latest I just saw. Yawned and almost fell asleep---and that in the first fifteen minutes. No suspense. No drama. Run, run, run. I thought I'd woken up in a boring Mission Impossible sequel. No emotion, no soul. The Color Purple, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List...ok. Great adult flicks. But this thing? C'mon. It makes The Chase look sophisticated.
To like this movie is to be brainwashed by critics (best movie of all time???), in awe of the Spielberg name, hopelessly immature (if the viewer is an adult), or someone who watches way too much t v, with attendant loss of critical facilities.

What can you say re a film with its "High Point" being Lee Marvin singing. :) Also -- didn't Clint Eastwood sing(?) in that film?

      looking like someones Grandmother, flashes a drooping breast for a nano-second and this is Ishtars high point? Try; Nosferatu with Klaus Kinski, or The Driver with Ryan O'Neill, Adjani as femme fatale, drop dead gorgeous and at her perfect prime.
      But Ishtar; frump in a black sack meets script penned by lobotomised moron; singularly the greatest waste of a talented cast, budget, and 35mm film stock, ever, period.

  At least Michael Cimino made one great film before he shot himself in the foot. The Deer Hunter is truly a great one.
