Beautiful Mind

Pros: Acting, music score, plot, cinematography... everything...

Cons: ... like "Master & Commander", some may find it a little slow moving.

The Bottom Line: In my opinion, A Beautiful Mind is one of the finest movies ever made. Need I say more?

Review: 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.

The Bottom Line: Excellent, sensitive portrayal of the devastation that mental illness leaves in its wake for both the sufferer and the family around them.

Review: 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: An extraordinary movie about an extraordinary man with fabulous actors.

Cons: Some flaws; no cons.

The Bottom Line: Go see it.

Review: I don’t write movie reviews often so when I do there is a reason. The reason for this review is, that in my opinion, this is a must see movie. I thought this before A Beautiful Mind won 4 Golden Globes last night. We went to see the movie...

Pros: Excellent acting from Crowe, Connelly, and Plummer

Cons: Some facts are missing from Nash's live...it makes the movies stronger

The Bottom Line: Beyond the madness of your life and mine...

Review: 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: Crowe, Connelly, Harris, Ron Howard and great story

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Certainly one of the best movies of the year. Crowe, Connelly and Ron Howard all deserve Oscars. Inspirational movie of the decade.

Review: 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.

The Bottom Line: Too bad "tour de force" is such a hackneyed movie review term... it actually applies to A Beautiful Mind!!

Review: 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.

The Bottom Line: My bottom line is beautiful too.

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: This 4 Oscar winning movie is well worth the time to watch it, appreciate it, and then watch it again. Superb performances, and an uplifting message to boot.

Review: 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: visualization of a man's inner turmoil, great acting

Cons: rather depressing, soundtrack

The Bottom Line: An excellent cinematic rendering of the life of Nobel Prize recipient John Nash.

Review: 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: Crowe, Connelly and the fantastic job by Ron Howard.

Cons: "Based on a true story"... well, not entirely.

The Bottom Line: To say that director Ron Howard adds considerably more to the mix than just Crowe’s performance is a glaring understatement.

Review: 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...
