Beer Movie Reviews

But it is greater than that. The depression that Josh Hamilton is going through is very strong & very real. He is apathetic about most everything, and floats around with his post relationship depression, but does care strongly for his friends Nicole & Freak.

This movie is hypnotic. You find yourself thinking about it long after having seen it. The humor is amazing & it is brilliantly human.

Watch this film with the intent of watching Parker do her thing.

YEA BABY YEA!

Some terrific comedic moments as well--Tom Cruise closes the deal, he's riding on victory and he wants to blast the radio to something appropriate and what's on??? The slip and slide pace of Free Falling... Funny.

A good movie. Not as good as the hype, but don't punish a film for its buzz.

J.M. travels through Jerry's mind which left me asking the question why. Jerry wasn't the true center of the story so he shouldn't have been the center of the film. The supporting characters that Jerry surrounded himself with were the ones that brought us closer to Jerry's thoughts more than Jerry himself. A better title and narration from Cruise or Cuba Gooding Jr. would have added an extra spark to the vehicle.

The supporting cast ruled the show and left Cruise in the dust. Tom's acting was bland and boring. He played Jerry like he didn't want to touch the role with a ten-foot pole. He wasn't believable because he seemed too young to be such a successful sports agent and Cruise doesn't have the persona of someone with such a fast paced life. In my opinion he was not the right choice for the film. This movie is packed with extra talent. Cuba Gooding Jr. had his breakout role here and his Oscar was well deserved. Rod Tidwell kept this film at its best. The movie should have been named after his character because he stole any hope Cruise had of claming J.M. as his star film. Kelly Preston is overlooked but good. Renee Zewellegger was another weak spot next to Cruise. Every time I saw her I asked the question why she was cast. Being a fellow Texan I think Renee's acting could have been better. She played Dorothy too giddy and she wasn't believeable as a single mother. Plus Renee and Cruise had zero chemisty and I fast forwarded every scene they were in together. Regina King was wonderful. She had sparks with everyone including Cruise and I wanted to see more of her on the screen. Jay Mohr is not someone I care for but he played the slimy sports agent part to the T. There were a lot of cameos from sports stars and actor Beau Bridges.

The story was rather weak. The movie was way too long and there was no reason it had to be. A lot of footage wasn't necessary. We didn't need to see Jerry's bachelor party or every single client Jerry had. The movie went off base and should have stuck to the basis. The length was the biggest problem. This was a modern 90's film it didn't need to be this long.

J.M. is a wonderful sports movie and you learn the football life and lingo fast. It was interesting to see the deals and the problems sports figures and their agents go through. The football game scenes were the best. They were realistic and kept up the momentum of the movie even when you felt it was dragging along. The love story was weak and not needed. When Dorothy and Jerry got married I totally gave up on Cruise and Renee's acting because it seemed like they were just rolling along with no point.

J.M. brought a lot of talent to the big screen and is a pretty decent movie. It got hype for the wrong reasons. Instead of pumping up Cruise's timid performance the glory should have been given to the true star of the film, Cuba Gooding Jr. This is great for sports fans.

If you like movies like "Explorers", "Goonies", and "Flight of the Navigator" you should love it. This is a movie that can be enjoyed by the whole family. The sets, music, and directing is excellent. Even the special effects which are a bit dated now are still quite good.

A science project made from a hidden device in a secret military stockpile can lead to some unpredictable results. When the school starts to transform into periods of the Earths history including the dinosaur age, the students must keep on their toes to survive.

I pre-ordered my DVD because I am sure there will be extra features as well. Even if there weren't any this is a great price for couple hours of comedy adventure.

First, of course, he has to learn how to surf. And there just happens to be an attractive female surfer, played by Lori Petty, to teach him. Naturally a romance develops but what is surprising is the remarkably short time it takes him to learn to surf. There's conflict with the other surfers too, but as he was once a football hero, he plays football on the beach with them and wins the respect of Bodhi, played by Patrick Swayzee. Bodhi's into the spiritual side of surfing. And he's also into free fall sky diving, night surfing and the ultimate thrills riding the waves. The two men learn to respect each other. It's too bad that Bodhi is also a bank robber. And that he just happens to be Lori Petty's ex-boyfriend.

What follows is an action packed ride including chases on foot and with cars. There's several false leads and a bit of violence. The story follows a formula, which is to be expected, but yet it is done very well. The best part of the film though is the surfing. It was able to make me feel the thrill of it all while I was sitting comfortably in front of my TV. I'm sure they used a lot of stunt doubles and special effects. But I didn't care. I just let myself be swept into the excitement of it all.

Recommended -- especially for action film buffs.
