Total waste of an excellent actor! Christian Bale was not thinking when he signed up for this role. After a GREAT performance in American Psycho he should have signed up for a movie that had a decent plot, or at least one that was well written.
In my opinion Reign of Fire was poorly written. The movie's plot had immense potential which was wasted by trying to introduce the essence of 'humanity' in it. The director tried to make us connect with the kids in the movie and with the rest of the community but he failed miserably. By the end of the movie I did not care for ANY of the characters. Its a shame they did not get charcoaled!

OK, so critics are crucifying this movie....so what? That's their job.
I saw The Next Best Thing opening weekend. And, although the movie has some flaws, it is still very entertaining and charming. It is true that the movie brings out all stereotypes of the gay community. But, when we consider who this movie targets (MainStreet USA), stereotyping is the best anyone can do for now. Afterall, gays are not seen in the USA as equals - not yet. So the screen writer had to throw in things the majority of the population associates with gays (not to humiliate but to add humor and/or get the audience's attention): crossdressing, promiscuity, flambouyance, love of the arts, wealth, girl-guy friendship, accepting mom, condemning dad, AIDS, etc. etc. Maybe in a near future we will be able to enjoy similar movies where each character can be fully developed instead of fully stereotyped.
Good enough for either the movies and great for a weekend rental.

As a documentary, this movie is excellent. It takes us behind the scenes of one of the most successful and most elaborate music tours produced in recent times. We take a peek at Madonna's private life including her likes and dislikes, her friends, her hectic schedule, and her incredible ambition of staying at the top. But most importantly, we take a close look at how she influences everyone around her. Madonna fans, especially those that attended the Blond Ambition Tour, will really enjoy Truth or Dare.
