Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

lavatch The best line in "Intersection" is spoken by a kind farmer delivering milk to a general store in the Pacific Northwest. The main character Vincent Eastman (Richard Gere) is standing outside the store, and the old farmer asks him, "Are you lost?" That question is a capsule of the life of a gifted architect, who is a deeply troubled human being. Indeed, he is lost from start to finish in this turgid melodrama.There are two women in the life of Eastman that figure prominently in that fateful question asked by the farmer. The first is Sally Eastman (Sharon Stone), the daughter of the head of the architectural firm when Vincent became a superstar. Sally is the "planner," and Vincent is the "creator" in their work and evidently in their marriage. But it was never really clear what drove a wedge into their relationship. The only clue weare given is that Vincent began an affair that came as a complete shock to Sally when she first learned about it. The affair apparently destroyed the marriage.The "other woman" is Olivia Marshak (Lolita Davidovich), a witty columnist, who begins her fateful affair with the married architect after they met by chance at an auction. In many ways, Olivia is the most sympathetic character in the film. She is completely humiliated when she shows up unannounced at the opening of a new museum designed by Vincent. Sally is present with her new male paramour and daughter. Yet Vincent humiliates Olivia and even physically abuses her for daring to appear uninvited in the presence of his ex-spouse.The beautiful cinematography of Seattle and Vancouver is contrasted with the tawdry moments of the love triangle. Some moments are downright comical, such as the long-winded phone message left for Olivia by Vincent, where he proclaims with manic energy that he wants to marry her and have babies. Of course, the marriage certificate and the progeny will solve all of his problems and take away his sense of being "lost"!In addition to interpersonal relations skills, Vincent really needs to work on his driving. Buckle up for safety and respect the Canadian speed limits, Vince! For her performance as Sally, Sharon Stone received a Stinker award. That moniker is a good one for the film as a whole.

albertoveronese I saw the film last night on TV. This movie was directed wonderfully, the performances by the actors were magnificent; I enjoyed to watch... but personally, there's something not enough to make it a great movie. One of Stone's best roles for sure, she was brilliant, her character was developed very slowly throughout the film; I thought this was great... but then, as the movie ended, suddenly Sharon Stone's character is cut out, wasted in her role. Let's go back to the last scene in front of the Hospital: Suddenly Sally (Sharon Stone) asks Olivia (Lolita Davidovich): "How did you happen do be up here?" Olivia (after thinking what to respond): "I was just on my way to see the museum again... and I saw the car been pulled up on the road" Sally looks at her first: "Well...", then turns away and rips up the letter down a drain. Why does Sally tears the letter? To protect Olivia? Maybe, but this is not the reason (she would have simply kept the letter if she thought this was her husband last testament!). She is doing this because she is hurt, very hurt; because Sally Stone understood her husband (Richard Gere) choice! She's to smart for that. Well, I thought the camera shouldn't have cut so promptly from the pieces of the teared letter in the drain to the final credit scene, but this final scene (so the movie) should have been handled a bit different and stayed longer on the magnificent Sharon Stone's character.

johno-21 Richard Gere stars in this American-made remake of the 1970 film Les Choses de la vie of French Director Claude Sautet based on the novel by Paul Guimard. This time around Mark Rydell, who enjoyed success with On Golden Pond, Cinderella Liberty, The Rose and The Reivers among others is the director. Sharone Stone, Lolita Davidavich and Martin Landau round out the cast but this is clearly a Richard Gere film. Although I'm generally not a fan of Gere he is excellent in this. This does have the feel of a European film and although I've never seen the original I would like to. I'd likely find it better as a whole. This is a good drama and although not a big movie it has a good look to it. I would give this a 7.0 on a scale of 10 for it's likable story and performance by Richard Gere,

dunmore_ego Whadaya know: if you're skidding headlong into a death-tastic car accident, and you happen to be Richard Gere, your life *does* flash before your eyes – well, your *love* life, at least. If you're Richard Gere. Almost a Chick-Flick version of "Memento", as Vincent (Gere) reminiscences back through his life of juggling his lover (writer Lolita Davidovich), with his ex-wife (business partner Sharon Stone), adoring daughter, and a successful architectural profession. The plot hinges on who Vincent will choose as his life's love. Weaved throughout are scenes of a unique clock (which Vincent bought for his lover), with a ball-bearing winding mechanism which tilts one way and then the other, metaphorically mirroring Vincent's indecision.The body of the movie, consisting of scattered vignettes, is rife with clues as to which of the two women would be his ultimate choice: Stone's architectural planner (who, in her most passionate moments with Vincent, exuded a clinical iciness that he chose not to perceive due to her social positioning and surface charms), or Lolita's columnist (independent, yet clutching at Vincent for primacy of attention).His moment of clarity, alas, comes too late. But no matter - he's Richard Gere!(Movie Maniacs, visit: www.poffysmoviemania.com)
