Beautiful Mind

Pros: Acting, music score, plot, cinematography... everything...
Cons: ... like "Master & Commander", some may find it a little slow moving.

When I wrote my Top Ten Films of All Time list, I decided (for once) to stick to the rules and actually only have ten films in it. (Okay I did break it by mentioning a couple of trilogies inside the top ...

Pros: Incredible cinematography, excellent acting and script.
Cons: Glosses over some points in Nash's life, but on the whole, does very well.

I was finally able to see this film last night, after much anticipation of wanting to see it. I wasn't disappointed either. Director Ron Howard and actors Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connolly, Paul Bettany and Ed Harris give us a terrifying journey into the...

Pros: Crowe, Connelly, good storytelling
Cons: Seems to gloss over important and serious aspects of mental illness

In the movie “A Beautiful Mind,” we get to know a little about the achievements of John Nash, a mathematics professor at Princeton. His theories have been the basis for many economic policies all over the world. He has won a Nobel Prize for his work. He...

Pros: An extraordinary movie about an extraordinary man with fabulous actors.
Cons: Some flaws; no cons.

Pros: Excellent acting from Crowe, Connelly, and Plummer
Cons: Some facts are missing from Nash's live...it makes the movies stronger

There are only a few movies that I want to see because of the lead actor or actress--I'm not a big fan of the whole "movie star" thing--I'd much rather see a movie that's well written with no-name (but good) actors than one where the entire time I'm...

Pros: It was overall a fascinating experience.
Cons: Wound up being a little disturbing at the same time...

I'd be lying to say that A Beautiful Mind didn't affect me in a strong way. Rather than coerce me into rethinking my own life, though, I'd say it left me glancing around my room in the dark like a little kid in fits of paranoia, afraid that I was...

Pros: Crowe, Connelly, Harris, Ron Howard and great story
Cons: None

I'm sure there are over 75 reviews on this movie but I have to join the crowd. I tend to overrate everything that I like but I find it inconceivable that anyone could give this movie a low rating. I saw the movie with my wife and my good friend and...

Pros: Superb acting, writing, directing... everything.
Cons: None.

Well folks… believe it or not, this will be my very first attempt to review a movie still in the theaters. Every one of my reviews prior to this has been based upon a film now on DVD or videocassette.

Last week, my wife, our son, and I made...

Pros: The acting is outstanding, the story is compelling.
Cons: None, just don't expect a totally accurate depiction of the real John Nash's life.

A Beautiful Mind Biographical Drama Director - Ron Howard (Apollo 13, How the Grinch Stole Christmas) 2001, Rated PG13 for intense material, sexual content and some violence, 2 hours, 16 minutes. Based on the book A Beautiful ...

Pros: Crowe, Connelly and Bettany, the story, and the musical score
Cons: None , unless you want the movie to match the book word for word

This movie won 4 Academy awards, 2 for director Ron (Opie) Howard , 1 for Jennifer Connelly, and one for the screenplay author, Akiva Goldsman. . Did it deserve such acclaim? Yes, it did That’s the short answer. But it became the best picture...

Pros: Great acting, excellent direction
Cons: This should not have gotten the Oscar for adapted screenplay

I can vividly remember watching the Oscars two weeks ago. It was a Monday, the first day of my Easter break. My parents thought it would be best if they got me up early so that I can start revising for my exams in June. Without much of a choice, I got...

Pros: Crowe, Connelly and the fantastic job by Ron Howard.
Cons: "Based on a true story"... well, not entirely.

Although A Beautiful Mind, on the surface, may sound like nothing more than a puffed-up TV Movie, it’s most assuredly more than that. With a flawless performance by Russell Crowe, and delightfully strong presence from Jennifer Connelly, a handful...

Pros: visualization of a man's inner turmoil, great acting
Cons: rather depressing, soundtrack

Although I usually do not get too excited about awards shows, I looked forward to this year’s Oscars because The Fellowship of the Ring had been nominated so many times. Although the film I was rooting for won four Oscars, it was superceded in ...

Pros: Russell Crowe.
Cons: Contains every Hollywood biopic cliche you've ever seen.

My campaign to be half of a celebrity super-couple by the new year still isn't going terribly well. I thought for certain that the big New Year's Eve bash at Skybar would bring me that special someone. I did meet a number of somewhat eligible men...

Pros: Performances by Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, supporting cast. Deakin's photography, Wynn Thomas's clever production design.
Cons: Simplified to such a degree that in some sense, it is anticlimactic and dishonest.

Ever think you've got something figured out? And then find that people say you were wrong? Makes you feel confused, huh? Maybe . . . makes you feel a bit nuts. Well, no -- angry perhaps. Either you are wrong, or they are! But which? Your therapist...
