Fracture
by RichardThere is a dearth of decent, smart, non-meaningful thrillers around at the moment ? films that you can sit, be entertained by, be engaged by, but take nothing away from other than an hour or two?s time-filling and company. Fracture, from the trailers, looked like it would fit the bill quite admirably. Thus onto the world-wide-web I wandered, added to my rental list the title, Fracture, and awaited it?s delivery to my doorstep.
DVD delivered, case opened, disc loaded, TV tuned and buttocks positioned appropriately on the furniture of the lounge. Play.
It?s a crime thriller starring the excellent talents of Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling ? both admirable actors who have, time and again, proven worth watching in many roles. It?s directed by Gregory Hoblit of Frequency, Fallen and Primal Fear fame ? a back-catalogue not to be sniffed at.
The credits roll and the musical score pipes up, provided by Jeff and Mychael Danna. Immediately, the score is tempting and creepy ? perfect for a murder-mystery. It?s haunting, enticing and bleak all at the same time.
The crime is committed and, as is the trend these days, the catch is not ?whodunit? but more how-whodunit-dunit. There is no question that Ted Crawford (Hopkings) has shot his wife and confessed at the scene.
Enter Gosling as young, ambitious Willy Beachum, the District prosecutor who?s going to settle this one last case before stepping up to the big-bucks of corporate law. He walks in to what should be an open-and-shut case, defendant Ted Crawford shunning legal counsel and, even, the opportunity to prepare a case against the acquired evidence. This is an evil genius played by Anthony Hopkings, however, and you can bet the little pebbles that stick in the soles of your shoes that all is not as straightforward as it appears.
The film feels like a good thriller. It looks like a good thriller. Sounds, tastes and smells. The cast is excellent, supporting parts from Rosamund Pike, Cliff Curtis, David Strathairn and Bob Gunton. They are all on very familiar territory here and while their performances are sufficient none are in any danger of giving a riveting performance.
The underlying flaw of the film, however, lies with it?s plot. There is a big ?but? coming, a twist of immense proportions which has hopefully been artfully concealed to this point. Unfortunately the twist on which the plot hinges was, to me, all to obvious and stood out from the word go.
Aiming to avoid spoilers, I shall leave it as said that maybe as an ?entry-level? thriller this film would be a cracker. All the elements are there in perfect measure. However, for anyone paying just a minor amount of attention to the nuances of the story, the film will unravel faster than a ball of cotton in a cathouse.Ladies and Gerbils, I give you my review of Fracture. Feel free to read or disregard, agree with or dispute. The decision... is yours.

I recommend you see...Though I do think this was a great movie... this message is more of a goodbye to everyone. My time on Flix has pretty much ran its course...so by time you read this my account should already be deleted.
Nobody has ran me off the site or anything like that I'm just not as active on it anymore and just feel that its what needs to be done. Most of you can still reach me on Facebook, Myspace, MSN, Yahoo and if you dont have the info get with one of the regs in the chat and they can pass the message on to me...
I love you all in your own unique (and sometimes eerily twisted) ways and will really miss you. If it gets really bad then I'll come back and make another account lol

Batman Gotham Knight
by DaveOkay, so i just watched, and re-watched the new Gotham Knight animated
movie / collection and here are my thoughts on the shorts.
1.Have I got a story for you So the premise of this short is a group of
kids get together and tell stories of what they think "the Batman" is.
Does this plot sound familiar? It should, it was the very same plot
from an episode of the animated series, except without the frank miller
shout out. Because of this, I already felt like I've seen it, which made
it kinda boring. The animation in this short is a little oddball. The
backgrounds are amazing and realistic while the characters themselves
look cartoon-y and sometimes unfinished. That's a style they where going
for I'm sure, but it just felt odd to me. Overall, this definitely was
not one of the best shorts, but also not the worse.
2. crossfire The story on this short focuses on two of Gorden's
detectives, one of them very unhappy with a vigilante doing crime
fighting in Gotham (batman). There really isn't much to the plot except
for detective Alan complaining about batman pretty much the entire
time. At the end of the short, Alan and his partner get in between a
crime war and batman comes and saves their lives. That's it. It wasn't
anything special, but worth watching for the animation. So, the
animation in this short is pretty good, and the best part is the last
minute when batman shows up. This is the very best animation of batman
in the entire collection, sadly, hes only around for over a minute.
such a waste, awesome while it lasts though. Because of the end, I felt
this was one of the better shorts.
3. Field test Wow, This was probably one of the worst representations
of batman since the campy old TV show. Congratulations to the animators
on this one, I've never wanted to gouge my eyes out so badly before in
my life. The story revolves around a new gadget luscious fox invents to
repel bullets away from batman. Batman tries it out, bullets repel, and
some guy almost dies from one of the repelled bullets. The story isn't
that bad, nothing major, but its there. Its the animation that makes
this short so god damn terrible. You wont know that you're looking at
bruce wayne until he speaks. Why? because Bruce Wayne looks like a
skinny, shaggy haired, Japanese teenager I kid you not. Watching this
generic anime character that anyone at a local high school could draw
use bruce waynes voice disgusted me. I constantly begged for him to
dress up as batman so I could stop watching the monstrosity.
Unfortunately, the animation of batman was even worse. Pretty much
envision Femto from Berserk with pointy ears and you have this shorts
batman. Disgusting. This was easily the worst in all of the shorts and
I wish it never made it past a storyboard.
4. In darkness dwells This short was about batman hunting down a new
urban myth cannibal. The cannibals nickname is "Killer Kroc". Yeah, any
batman fan knows this guy. The story doesn't get too involved in this
one, but I did enjoy it. The animation had great realistic backgrounds,
but the character animation was a little inconsistent at times.
Sometimes the characters look really good and grity, other shots show
them at really awkward angles and they just come of as deformed. It
definitely doesn't ruin this short, but it does catch your attention
more than it should. Overall, i liked this one though.
5. Working through pain This short arguably might have the best story
of the bunch, mostly because its the only one that really shows some
character development in Bruce Wayne. The story focuses on how Bruce
Wayne was trained to ignore physical pain. I really like the story of
this one, and the ending is actually kind of sad. The animation, not as
good. As batman, he looks pretty decent. You definitely know its
batman, unlike in "Field Test". Its the Bruce Wayne animation that's the
weak point of this short. While not half as bad as "Field Test", his
character is breaching on generic anime guy. He doesn't look like Bruce
Wayne, but he doesn't look like a skinny Asian kid either. The story is
what really sells this one, and its definitely worth watching.
6. Deadshot If only one short makes you buy this collection, this will
be it. This was by far the best short of them all. The story is pretty
simple. A very talented sniper is contracted to take out Gotham s
finest, and eventually batman himself. Its all about villain vs batman
here, and its really good. Out of all the shorts, this was the only one
that actually felt like it could be a storyline in the animated series
(besides "Have I got a story for you" which WAS an actual storyline in
TaS). This was the only short in both story and animation that really
made me feel i was watching a batman episode. I loved this, and watched
it several times over. This is not one to skip batfolks, this is
batman.
So overall, Id say there was two good ones ( Working through pain and
Deadshot), two okay ones (Crossfire and In darkness dwells), one dud
(have i got a story for you), and one abomination (Field test).Hey, you should really see this!

by Chrisonce i gave this movie a chance, i really loved it. the humor is dry, witty, and fast. although it deals with a controversial subject, the humor doesn't seem to downplay reality.
we laughed a lot. i was suprised at how good this movie is. thanks to my co-worker jon for suggesting this one!

Brokeback Mountain
by Chrisi finally got around to seeing this, and it's very good. if you're at all homophobic, i wouldn't recommend this movie. it's a story about two men, the tough choices they have to make, and love. sometimes it's highly erotic, other times it had me close to tears. well-written, with perfectly cast characters.
i didn't think i would like this at all, but it's very moving. if you can keep an open mind, it's an excellent flick!
