Note de Mr_Noir
Love stories are difficult to do well. So is comedy. Kevin Smith does both. Very very well.
Chasing Amy is, in my opinion Kevin Smith's best movie (Clerks 2nd, Dogma 3rd) and I really don't know where to start the praise.
Traditionally, Hollywood romantic comedies are... well, bad. Really lame PG-13 comedy, with some catch phrase repeated ad nauseum, and always some sort of "hilarious" incident involving a baby or a cute dog. And the characters are just as annoying as the lame jokes, so ultimately, you don't really care about whether or not they get together in the end.
Chasing Amy is different. These characters are lifelike.This isn't a romantic comedy for teenage girls. It's a movie for adults. Almost everyone can relate to being a situation where they've loved someone so much, but due to certain circumstances, you just weren't able to have that person. And I guess that's what Amy's all about. Unrequited love. Well, Unrequited love and sexual identity, but that's another topic for another day.
The real genius of this film is that for all it's serious themes, it manages to convey it's message without being at all pretentious. Most independent films have this sort of, arrogant pretentious "I'm so artistic" feel about them.......And I hate that. Smith's success lies in the fact that his movies are meaningful, and they're actually funny as well. And Chasing Amy is no exception.
In short, you'll be hard pressed to find a more entertaining, and realistic love story than Chasing Amy. It's combination of hilarious dialogue, interesting characters, and realistic themes makes it a winner.

When I took a copy of this home from work the other night (it's not out on video and DVD in Australia till like July, video store staff get advance copies) I'm not quite sure what I expected. i'd read good things about the movie, but I still had no idea what to expect.
I'd already seen Being John Malkovich, so it was sort of amusing to see scenes from that. As for adaptation but, I have to say that I did enjoy it, and it's quite possibly one of the most original movies I've ever seen.
Nic Cage has done a great job of portraying Charlie and Donald Kaufman, and while the storyline did get a bit confusing from time to time, it was still pretty enjoyable.
insanely realistic car crashes as well...
7.5/10

I love a good heist flick. When done right, they rock. Gone in 60 Seconds was awesome, The Score was pretty cool, and Ocean's Eleven is no exception.
People might comment on how many of the characters don't distinguish themselves from one and other, but really, this isn't completely true, and with such a great ensemble cast, I think it's possible to look past that minor flaw.
The story's fantastic, it doesn't drag for one single moment during the 112 minute running time, it's got some really great dialogue, it's capped off with a really clever ending...and it wreaks of style and class from beginning to end.
To be honest, I can't find much wrong with this flick at all. It's a great film, that's very easy to watch, and I'd recommend it to pretty much anybody.
