Truth (2013)
A movie that stigmatizes Borderline Personality Disorder
26 November 2022
Again, people with Borderline Personality Disorder are portrayed as psychopaths. Borderline Personality Disorder is a form of PTSD and an insidious damaging condition. People with this condition hurt a great deal, and it is always because of parental emotional and verbal abuse, blaming the child for their parents problems and mistakes, often physical violence in the home, and at times sexual abuse. Self esteem is low because they were raised in chaotic, unstable families and were not given the unconditional love children need from their parents to develop self esteem and the ability to have healthy relationships with others. Their feelings were continually invalidated. It's a shame this movie just adds to the stigmatization, and Rob Moretti should be ashamed of not only his bad acting, but for making this bad, stigmatizing film. Twice as bad because the character with the condition was gay. Even the medication given to help people with this condition is stigmatized. Just an all around awful film.

Gosford Park (2001)
A subtle, witty, great film
27 July 2003
This is a great film and it is no wonder the it was nominated for best picture and best original screenplay. Sly wit, and dry humor dominate. The cast is outstanding and Maggie Smith is a special standout.

Unfortunately, I think this movie is far above the heads of the average IMDB user.

From Hell (2001)
Disappointing
30 October 2001
They should have spent as much time on the characters as they did on the visuals. I had high hopes for this movie and then spent the entire time just sort of getting through it. Some of it was poorly acted and other parts were just outright cliched and facile. A disappointment.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE
15 June 2001
I'm not going to go into to much detail as to why I love this movie so much because most of it has already been said so eloquently by others already. I will reiterate however, that is movie is hilarious and way underrated. I LOVE Eartha Kitt (brilliance) and Patrick Warburton as Yzma and Kronk, and David Spade is hilarious in this movie as well (the spinach puffs dinner scene and the diner scene, could they have been more hilarious?) John Goodman is excellent. In fact the entire voice cast is excellent. The humour is silly, kooky, absurd fun. I'm SO glad it wasn't an over moralizing musical. This one was meant just for lighthearted laugh out loud entertainment, and it works.

I own the single disc DVD and plan on purchasing the 2 disc DVD tomorrow!

Seems like all the people who *don't* like it feel that way simply because they don't like David Spade, so they take it out on the whole movie, but then, he's the main character so it's gonna make it hard anyway, (it also helps if you like Bugs Bunny and Daffy duck cartoons)

They are missing out....

Beware the grooooove!!!!!!
