    You ever sit through 108 minutes of torture to see some boobs? I did. It was called Powder Blue.

    Pretty good movie I gotta say. Great Acting from Jessica Biel and I think this was Patrick Swayze's last movie so it was glad to see him even though his role was less than his usual style.

    Angelenos meet on Christmas Eve through chance, tragedy and divine intervention. Velvet ...( read more)Larry is the sleazy owner of the strip club where Rose Johnny dances. Qwerty Doolittle is a mortician who falls in love with her.

    Better than I thought it would be, for sure. Worth checking out if you're running low on new releases. :)

    This is one tangled mess of a story. The plot is so boring, I nearly fell asleep.

    Powder Blue - people let me tell you something. I've had this movie on my shelf for a supa long time (no late fees) and I finally decided to watch it. Mayne...I should have watched it wayyyyy earlier...it's a pretty tight movie. My gal wasn't too fond of it - she thought it was t...( read more)oo depressing...me...I thought it was just right.

    It's got a great cast also...SEXY JESSICA BIEL, Ray Liotta, Patrick Swayze, Lisa Kudrow, Kris Kristofferson, and Forest Whitaker...hellooooo...if you get the chance - check it out.

    It's about these little stories - - - everyone has these stories...it's pretty interesting...then, they kind of all come together.

    Just check out the trailer...and rent the flick. Oh, did I mention that Jessica Biel plays a single mom and she's a STRIPPER! (She got skillz)

    Me parecio una buena película, quizas un poco lenta, pero su trama lo requeria, es interesante, recomendable
  • September 15, 2009
    Jessica Biel's in this movie, but I don't think I want to see it because it's rated "R".
  • September 14, 2009
    It's been done before, and with greater impact, but this is still worth watching if you've got some time to kill.
  • September 11, 2009
    was ok, confusing in parts, yet still held my attention
  • September 8, 2009

  • August 13, 2009
    Talking about desperat... the movie has a whole bunch of familliar faces.. and i like the story, although a drama
  • August 7, 2009
    Another one of those movies that had so much potential but it just didn't make it.
    Check out the line up of allstar cast members. I always wonder how this happens. I mean true someone by the name of Timothy Linh Bui wrote, directed this....but who is this guy and what did he do...( read more) before? Why did all the allstars jump on the bandwagon of a nobody? Did they really believe this movie had potential looking at the script? Good to see Patrick Swayze still doing well health wise.
  • August 3, 2009
    One of the worst movies ever. I don't know why i left it on. The only actors performances I enjoyed were that of Lisa Kudrow & Forest Whitaker. Don't watch this movie!!!!!
  • July 26, 2009
    I really didnt get much from this movie but it was okay.
  • July 20, 2009
    Human drama we've seen many times before in many other forms, just not as far-stretched or lyrically. It's a movie that can move you, but ultimately it adds nothing new and it's deeply flawed. Too many things needed more attention as they were surreal, and many things could have ...( read more)been done differently.

    Forest Whitaker is as good as he always is and I'm guilty to admitting that I actually liked Swayze's performance -an actor I have such contempt for. Jessica Biel is better than some Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but she's still quite talentless. The direction (among other elements) is tolerable, and is overall a movie that attempts to make you sympathetic and pitiful, more than it attempts to rejoice in the power hidden in the human heart.
  • July 15, 2009
    I'm a sucker for Forest Whitaker. I checked out the movie because of this and was a little disappointed when all was said and done.
    We follow a few people around the city of LA as Christmas day comes near. I expected the folks to be down on their luck and they were. I thought ...( read more)things would get better for them and for the most part they did. Sort of. Not as good as I would have liked though.
    It seems to me that there was only one story worth following in the movie and it did take up most of the time. When we did pop back to the other story I found myself going "oh yeah". I kept forgetting that the other story was going on.
    A couple good performances but on the most part a depressing and dull movie.
  • July 13, 2009
    turned it off after 15 minutes
  • July 11, 2009
    It was slightly better than I figured it would be, but that isn't saying much. On the whole, the film was boring. It did have its moments, though. And by moments, I mean it had Jessica Biel.
  • July 7, 2009
    Biel definitely got in shape for her role. Not a bad overall movie, some parts were a little slow, but it was good overall.
  • July 6, 2009
    Good movie. Different as far as movie plots go but good. A little bit sad, drama, happy and life turmoil all into one.
  • July 5, 2009
    Another Los Angeles-set multistrand drama "Crash"-es and burns. A movie full of egregiously overdramatic stupidities complete with an embarrassing display of directorial exploitation and a waste of acting goodwill. Will be remembered as the film where Jessica Biel finally took it...( read more) all off.
  • July 1, 2009
    it's very slow but very good movie.... great cast,, awesome acting by Jessica Biel, she so amazing ... story is written well, maybe movie was about 10 to 15 min longer then it should be.... ...... very depressive
  • June 28, 2009
    Jessica Biel espetacular, o filme é bom, mas esperava mais.
  • June 27, 2009
    A powerfully intense and emotionally enduring movie. A dark, compelling, beautifully depressing and truly unforgettable film that shines with originality and brilliance. A damn near perfect film thats written terifficly and superbly crafted. A deeply moving and heart-wrenching ch...( read more)aracter piece thats fuelled by an astonishing cast of amasing actors that all do an exceptional and wonderful job with their performances. Forest Whitaker is extroadinary, his best performance since The Last King Of Scottland. Jessica Biel gives an excellent and surprisingly satisfying performance. She not only shows she is a gorgious woman but shows here that she is pure leading lady material. Ray Liotta is incrediable, always knowing how to deliver a powerful and fearless performance.

    Amazing film! A must see!
  • June 19, 2009
    I was actually very surprised about this movie. What a Cast, they were absolutely amazing. Interesting once again how they managed to somehow intertwine all the characters and make it work. They are all sooo talented and some of them actually kinda shocked me taking on that role....( read more) First and foremost Jessica Biel, I can't believe she got naked. But she pulled it off and it wasn't tasteless or vulgar, it fit the story and i was impressed. the Patrick Swayze...really? This is a must see...amazing stories amazing cast!!!!!
  • June 19, 2009
    Nowhere near as bad as I thought this would be, as it went straight to DVD. I actually thought the acting, including Jessica Biel, wasn't that bad at all.

    "Every life has a breaking point"

    Four Los Angelenos -- a mortician, an ex-con, a suicidal ex-priest, and a stripper -- are brought together on Christmas Eve by a mixture of circumstances.

    REVIEW
    ...( read more)enter>
    Four desperate people drift together over Christmas. One a stripper with a little boy in a coma, another is an ex-con who looks for salvation, a mortuary worker faces foreclosure on his business and an ex-priest looks for someone to do a job for him. Well made and very well acted tale has plot lines that are so over done that they border on silly. Talk about stacking the deck, these people have enough going on for five years of soap operas. The cast almost sells the (overly) heartfelt emotion, but its just too much. How much of this would really happen to four people over a couple of days? My interest began to wander about a half an hour in because I felt that the film was manipulating things for no really good reason. I understand why the cast was drawn to the material since it allows them to dig in and chow down on the scenery. Its not a bad movie, its just an over done one.
  • June 15, 2009
    I was a little bit disappointed at this movie. It wasn't terribly bad, but it lacked actual feeling. Most of what you see seems fake or too contrived. I did like some performances, like Ray Liotta. Other than that, there is not much to take from this other than the usual, "li...( read more)fe's hard but it will end up alright in the end".
  • June 4, 2009
    I was very surprised at how much I DO like this movie...ohh and Jessica Biel is so smoking hot in this flick..that alone makes it worth taking a look
  • June 3, 2009
    Good movie, Whitaker n Biel are Awsome!
  • May 28, 2009
    I really liked this, an intelligent, well-acted movie. It's based on a series of stories, stories about loss, despair, loneliness and the search for fulfillment in love. It is sad in parts, yes, but there is a resolution in the end, a resolution even in death. The cast is supe...( read more)rb. I though Ray Liotta was especially good as the dying con.
  • May 17, 2009
    Its another one of those movies that follows a bunch of characters whose lives intersect. This style is becoming so overused and this movie adds nothing.
