Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

jaxback This film is a remake of a film made in 1953 known as Pick Up On South Street Starred Richard Widmark Jean Peters and Thelma Ritter. The bad guy looked like Alan Arkin but cant see his names in any of the credits It was basically the same theme and even the music used was the same for the most part Man is it hard to get 10 lines when you just want to inform some people about a movie so now a bit of padding to get the 10 lines that's what cost me in University I could not regurgitate 1000 pages on nonsense to tell one simple story Hope this is of interest I think I made my 10 line requirement. Well I am back again to make sure I have the number of lines required to get submitted. Not sure why we have to go 10 lines when you can say it in 4 but anyway maybe now it will be OK for submission to the grammar captains

classicsoncall This is now starting to be a chore. I'm getting down to my last few films in the Mill Creek Mystery Collection of two hundred and fifty movies, and it's getting more and more difficult to pay attention. This is a somewhat convoluted story involving a pickpocket and Communists and some kind of secret chemical formula but don't ask me anything beyond that. It's just not worth it.And please don't tell me that was Claire Trevor in the role credited to Claire Trevor. Gosh, what happened to her? Give me instead the actress from 1939's "Stagecoach" or 1948's "Key Largo". I know actors and actresses get older but I didn't recognize her here even after seeing her name in the opening credits.Still need a recommendation? OK, it's got James Brolin and Jacqueline Bisset in early lead roles, but this was before they became actors. Try to stay focused here and it's nearly impossible. At least Bisset was appropriately named, her character was Candy. As in eye candy. After that, it's all down hill.

ozlock There is one redeeming feature: the gorgeous Ms Bisset. The acting is dreadful. Even Bisset is terrible. Forget the fact that it is a remake and forget great views of Cape Town (because this is a very dark film, and I don't mean noir).My first attempt at this submission was rejected because it contains less than ten lines, but what else is there to say?OK, I can say that even the music is formulaic in the sense that all spy movies were in the 60s. This is the sort of movie where you want to say "What were they thinking?"OK? It is hard to imagine that IMDb encourages wasting cyber space.

warlock-13 Great for pre-integration scenes of Cape Town (look for one black person and you won't find them!), this remake of Pick Up on South Street (1953) is missing several things, notably Richard Widmark as the film noir villain that makes the whole thing work. This film is the exact opposite of film noir. It's too clean and crisp to be suspenseful. The colors reek of a British comedy ala the Pink Panther or something with Alec Guiness. The whole thing plays like a poor man's "Man From U.N.C.L.E." without the savoir faire of Robert Vaughn. James Brolin, a few years shy of Marcus Welby, M.D., has yet to learn how to act and Jacqueline Bisset is not worth the trip. See the original.
