Pros: Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Forest Whitaker Cons: a few plot flaws...just don't over analyze!
I really wasn’t sure how much I wanted to see Panic Room. I’m not usually too keen on “women in jeopardy” type movies. You know, the “Perils of Pauline” sort of thing where some big brave handsome man comes along and saves the day. My mistake was...
Pros: Good performances, camera work Cons: Predictable storyline
When Panic Room was first released, I knew I wanted to see it. Starring Jodie Foster, whose acting talents I admire, and directed by David Fincher, of Se7en and Fight Club fame, for me this was a must see. I even went out of my way...
Pros: Jodie Foster and an interesting plot Cons: Some of the foreshadowing was a bit heavy-handed. The very end was anti-climatic.
It's every woman's worst nightmare. It's the middle of the night, she's in bed alone, her young daughter is asleep several rooms away, and she knows strangers have broken into her house.
To make matters worse, she had too much wine before...
Pros: Great suspense! Jodie Foster does it again. Kristen Stewart may be the next big thing. Cons: Whatever happened to...
Lordy, still got the jitters! Do you live in a big house? Are you paranoid? If you answered yes to both of those questions, you're in trouble. If you didn't, well then, have a seat.
I haven't seen suspense this good since who knows...
Pros: Jodie Foster, Forest Whittaker and newcomer Kristen Stewart ... Cons: Jared Leto was a little over-the-top ...
Panic Room is a taut thriller that, quite honestly, would have made Hitchcock proud. Starting off with opening credits that feature floating, three dimensional text that meld in with the buildings of Manhattan and look like a permanent fixture (a...
Pros: Foster, Whitaker, The House Cons: should have been Kidman, linear plot, seen it before, visually uninteresting (color)
Let me ask you this. Have ya had enough? Or are ya thirsty for more? Sound familiar? The reference is from Home Alone, the anti Christmas movie, and instead of cute 8 year old Macaulay Culkin asking the hypothetical...
Pros: Jodie Foster looks great! Cons: Not really as scary as the previews make it out to be
Panic Room stars Jodie Foster as a recently divorced woman who is looking to buy a new house for herself and her daughter. The movie opens with her looking at a huge, beautiful home in downtown New York. The previous owner was a paranoid old man who...
Pros: Inventive visuals. Some smart performances. Cons: Perfunctory, by the numbers story telling. Multiple cliches.
With the casting of Andrea Boccelli as Rhadames in my exciting new production of Aida on Ice, things have really started to move forward. His skating still isn't what I had hoped. At yesterday's rehearsal, he plowed right into a group of...
Pros: Done well enough to keep one engaged. Cons: Poor story, poor thrills, DVD not worth the money.
David Fincher has no one but himself to blame when it comes to why Panic Room is quite the dud that it is. Much talk has already surfaced on the small inconsequential facts surrounding the quick replacement of Nicole Kidman with Jodie...
Pros: Good movie, odd but captivating plot, ok writing, Jared Leto Cons: Jodie Foster [i'm not a fan], Gruesome Violence, Bad ending
Note: This is my first epinion since October so please bare with me while I try and get back into the "grrove" of things. Hopefully this is the start of a new beginning for me and epinions and that I'll be back for good. I really missed it...
There hasn't been a decent thriller in a while, but Panic Room is about to change that (to an extent). Directed by David Fincher, Panic Room is Home Alone and Die Hard (and possibly several others I'm forgetting) coming together in a slightly overdone...
Pros: Performances by Foster, Stewart, Whitaker, Leto; direction by Fincher; cinematography by Khondji and Hall Cons: Performance by Yoakam; cardboard characterizations in screenplay by Koepp; no worthy special features
"There is nothing to fear but fear itself."
This famous quote, which had lived as a mainstay at the forefront of human philosophy for numerous decades, taught us the lesson that fear was an absolutely self-destructive and, sometimes,...
Pros:Panic Room featured some excellent actors/actresses. Cons: Too many curses.
In times like this where in the news, more and more home invasions pop up, a panic room seems like the perfect room to have in any room. Sony Pictures released a movie entitled Panic Room which involved a situation of this sort. The ASCAP ...
