GOD WILL BRING ME JUSTICE
Yesterday I played hooky from work for a couple of hours. Mrs. G had been feeling low and I decided to squire her to an afternoon matinee. She had originally wanted to see A Beautiful Mind. She reconsidered such a dark choice and we decided to take in the premiere of the newly released Count of... Read full review »
The Count of Monte Cristo - A Tale of Betrayal and Revenge
Lately I've been really busy thanks to a class I had to take for work. I haven't had as much time to rent movies because of that class. I did get a chance to watch The Count of Monte Cristo recently and I really enjoyed it. I remember seeing some previews for it when it was in theaters and I... Read full review »
The Count of Monte Cristo: Good looking actors and stunts
Given what Hollywood did to the last adaptation of a Dumas' novel -- the horrible Man in the Iron Mask, -- I was pretty hesitant about sitting through this one, and decided to wait until I could watch it on dvd. Now I'm sorry I did not get to see this one in the theatres.
This is a solid,...

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) - Betrayal is Bad, but Revenge is Fun!
Ah, ignorance is bliss. Well, sometimes, at least. When I recently saw The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), not only had I never seen a film version before, I didn't even know the story, based on the famous novel penned by Alexander Dumas in the 1840's. My knowledge of the history of the period was... Read full review »
Kevin Reynold?s The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
In spite of the premise, the set design , and the possibilities, this movie turns out to be yet another remake of the revenge tale written so many years ago by Alexandre Dumas. This movie ends up being a lot of swash, and not enough buckle.
I am usually a sucker for period pieces,...

When I Get MY Revenge, I Hope It's This Sweet
All of us carry a burden of Those Who Have Wronged Us. For most of us, it's a superficial list of people who cut us off in traffic, people who butted line at the grocery store, old classmates who pointed out our fly was down while Beth Brookesell was listening; These are the people who we...

Count of Monte Cristo: Time to Buckle Your Swash!
I figured it was only a matter of time before Hollywood tried to make a movie out of this classic book. I was just really, really hoping that they didn't turn it into some totally whack tale of torrid romance, and/or included Freddie Prinze, Jr.
So, I went out to see this movie with...

Edmond Dantes Is Counting on Revenge in The Count of Monte Cristo
When my brother was in early elementary school and I was in high school, the two of us often watched Wishbone together. This PBS series starred a Jack Russell Terrier in dual roles: an ordinary pet in one storyline and a classic literary character in another. I’ve always considered myself an... Read full review »

Count of Monte Cristo DVD
In this highly entertaining beautifully photographed rekindling of the classic French novel by Alexandre Dumas director Kevin Reynolds choreographs a fantastic adventure replete with breathtaking scenery fiery swashbuckling battles lavish costumes and above all else sweet revenge. In 19th-century Marseille Edmond Dants Jim Caviezel is the optimistic but uneducated son of a sea captain. He cherishes his friendship with the son of a count Mondego Guy Pearce and is deeply in love with his fiance Mercedes Dagmara Dominczyk. Young Dants is so innocent and naive that it is positively shocking when Mondego turns on him accusing him of treason and having him sentenced to life in the dreary dungeon of Chateau D'If. Years of isolation and torture nearly defeat the revenge-thirsty Dants but with the help of invaluable lessons from the Abb Faria Richard Harris his luck slowly changes. An incredible prison break starts Dants on his way to a new life and from there Reynolds' COUNT truly takes off. Battles with pirates lead to hunts for sunken ocean treasure and soon Dantes is living in Marseille as the transformed newly rich self-proclaimed Count of Monte Cristo. Installed in a ritzy chateau he slowly unfurls his excrutiatingly careful plans to exact his revenge on Mondego and all those who ever wronged him.

The Count of Monte Cristo [VHS]
Revenge rarely gets sweeter than it does in The Count of Monte Cristo, a rousing, impeccably crafted adaptation of Alexandre Dumas père's literary classic. Filmed countless times before, the story is revitalized by director Kevin Reynolds (rallying after Waterworld) and screenwriter Jay Wolpert, who wisely avoid the action-movie anachronisms that plagued 2001's dubious Dumas-inspired The Musketeer. Leading a superior cast, Jim Caviezel (Frequency) expresses a delicate balance of obsession and nobility as Dantes, the wrongly accused Frenchman who endures 13 years of prison and torment, then uses a hidden treasure to finance elaborate vengeance on those who wronged him. Memento's Guy Pearce is equally effective as Dantes's betraying nemesis, and Richard Harris tops his Harry Potter wizardry with a humorous turn as Dantes's fellow prisoner and mentor. Filmed on stunning locations in Ireland and Malta, The Count of Monte Cristo easily matches Rob Roy for intelligent swashbuckling entertainment. --Jeff Shannon
