It's nice to see the big man back
First of all, this is NOT Total Recall and strictly speaking it's not better either, but don't let that put you off! Arnie plays his usual good guy (but he's getting slighly better folks!) who plays an old fashoned pilot that fears even cloning pets takes away some of our humanity. He then ends up having to fight for his identity, as usual there are chases, fights and some great special effects. I thought that Arnie checking for wrinkles in the first scene was quite funny, obviously a side joke hinting that he might be getting too old for this s**t. The bottom line is that this is the best Arnie flick for many years and proves that there is plenty of life in the ol' dog yet.

Somehow this is one of the best films of 2000
I really do think that this is a great film or at least very good, great plot, entertaining, smart, but confusing and a bit exagerated, but this is a very good one, it also has great acting,I really don't give it five stars i give it ****1/2.

Could've been better
Schwarzengegger's return to action didn't fare much better in this clunker about a regular joe named Adam Gibson who co-runs a helicopter business. Gibson learns that he's been cloned and the "replacement" that is living out his life, means he must be exterminated by a prophetic businessman and his group of dastardly cohorts. This film, while not bad, just seems flat and uninspired. Schwarzenegger's return to action doesn't do much and it seems that the standard action sequences take place with at least one mandatory car chase. The only real amusing scenes involve the continual cloning of the businessman's henchmen, and a scene involving two Arnolds at once, but rather than that, it just seems out of place.

The 6th Day
THE 6TH DAY is science-fiction action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold plays Adam Gibson, a professional helicopter pilot who has a loving wife and a daughter. The time period is "the near future," and there are laws that ban the concept of cloning human beings, but the cloning of animals and household pets is perfectly legal. The action and the fun begins when Adam Gibson comes home from a seemingly normal day of work on his birthday, and see's a clone of himself eating his birthday cake with his wife and daughter in his house. It seems that an evil corporation has illegally cloned Adam for reasons unknow to him, but Adam is very eager to find out, so he arms himself with some weapons and goes out to kick some human-cloning .... This movie turned out to be way better than I expected, and I recommend it to all action and Arnold Schwarzenegger movie fans!

What begins as a simple, bittersweet tale about a widower's daughtergrandly unfolds into a rich, mythical adventure in Hallmark's production ofSnow Queen. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, this story whisksviewers to a remote mountain town where winter claims a surprising number oflives, beginning with the local innkeeper's wife. Many years later, the woman'sdaughter, Gerda (Chelsea Hobbs), finds true love when her father hires Kai(Jeremy Guilbaut) as the inn's new bellboy. About one hour into this three-hourproduction, the mood turns rather sinister as the Snow Queen (Bridget Fonda)bewitches and captures Kai. Scenes of Gerda's search--through the lushtemptations of each season personified--are interspersed with downright creepyscenes of Kai held prisoner in the Snow Queen's ice palace. Keen acting andsmart direction engross the viewer, but those under 8 years old might not beready for the repetitive themes of seduction and temptation. --LianeThomas ... Read more

Drags On and On...Just Like Winter
I recently took this off the shelf at my local video rental store because the picture on the box showed a white haired Bridget Fonda dressed in a beautiful sparkly white dress and a snow white cloak made of feathers. It looked to me like Hallmark Entertainment was going to at least try to do this film up right.
As it turned out, a lavish budget did provide many beautiful costumes, sets, and location scenery, but the simplicity and innocence of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale got lost in three hours of so-so acting, a poor screen play, dreadful dialog, bad film editing and lousy direction from David Wu.

In the original fairy tale the protagonists are two children named Kay and Gerda. In this film Kay has been changed to Kai and both Kai and Gerda are young adults who are in love.

One day Kai gets beguiled by the Snow Queen who rules the season of Winter and he is kidnapped and taken to her Ice Palace. Gerda begins a long (and in this film I do mean LONG) quest to discover his whereabouts and to rescue him. In order to do this she must travel through the lands of the other Seasons. She meets with the eccentric denizens of Spring, Summer and Autumn and each of them attempts to kidnap her. The idiosyncratic Andersen's take on the seasons was odd enough in the original story, but in this film is all the more exaggerated.

Kai has a talking Polar Bear (crafted with skill by Jim Henson's Creature Works) for a prison guard. His involvment with the polar bear is one of the many reasons this movie drags. Several ridiculous minutes are spent with Kai teaching the bear to ice-skate, for example.

The actors portraying Wolfgang, the father, Gerda, and Kai are tolerable if not note-worthy. Bridget Fonda, in my opinion, was not right for the part of the Snow Queen. Her performance is lackluster and she delivers her lines as though she's LaFemme Nikita rather than a character in a fairy tale. She looks the part but she doesn't seem particularly frosty or seductive as the script calls for her to be. Her lines are delivered in a flat emotionless way that I suppose is meant to be icy, but comes off as dull. You really wonder how in the world Kai could have been beguiled by such a person.

The interior sets, the costumes, the lighting...all the cosmetic trim of this film are beautiful and they are what made me so want to love this movie, but the magic is missing and I was never able to get swept away by the story.

At three hours in length and with a plot that focuses on mature themes of love lost, grief and seduction, even suicide, this film is most decidedly NOT for children of any age. Yet, with the corny talking bear and a talking reindeer and some really silly robber characters, I can't say it is a film for adults, either.

There is some really cheesy dialog that is too much like modern slang for example when the Summer Princess comments on Gerda's dress by saying, "That peasant look is so last year," or later when she asks Gerda, "Do I look a porker in this dress?"

There is a whole lot of trite symbolism featuring red roses that further takes up time for no real benefit. In the original story Andersen has a "demon" creating havok with a magical mirror but in the film the minor league demon has been changed to Satan himself and they actually say the mirror is crafted in Hell. They make the devil look really cliche in this film and I feel it was too heavy-handed and out of sync with the rest of the picture. Sadly, this production just doesn't work. Even with a big budget, lavish decorations and costumes, talented actors, and a story that has enchanted people for over a century and a half, it still falls flat. I'd say skip this one...and for sure, do not try to make your kids sit through it. It's no fun.

Romantic and dark, A very pleasing tale
I find that epic movies whether Hallmark or any kind sometimes end up being too cute or boring or just over the top for no reason.The Snow Queen was none of these things, starting out as a simple romance between two teens entering adulthood, (she's 17 he's 18) it slowly moves into the magical realms of the seasons as the main character, Gerda, attempts to save her first and only true love from the Snow Queen. The scenery is very lush and beautiful but the thing that truly makes this a fine epic movie is the acting, which is superb. All the characters hold their own weight and I would reccomend this movie to anyone who enjoys an engrossing tale which deals with temptaion, love, and loss, although I agree with the other poster who considers this for the 8 and up set, some of the darker themes may be a little ovewhelming for those younger then eight.

Single, white, female...
but's she's no Snow Queen. What a disgrace to Hans Christian Andersen! A horrible attempt at a beautiful classic. One star is too generous.

A must see film!!!!!!!
I saw the Snow Queen on sky 1 over Christmas and i LOVED it! I loved the Snow Queen i thought she was great and was played very well. Kai and Gerda are quite annoning and me and my friends Sarah and the Louise wanted to shoot Gerda and Kai sometimes. I thought the ending was good and liked the polar bear he was good too. I loved the Snow Queen so much that i searched the internet looking for the DVD suitable for my DVD player. I never had heard of Bridget Fonda before i watched the Snow Queen but she played the Snow Queen so well that i found what other films she was in and now she's my favourite actress.Dont just watch the snow queen watch other films with Miss Fonda in them too and see what a talanted actress she is...... but what do i know im other 13!

follow your heart
hello,its wonderful to meet so many people who have seen the film and like it,i love it too.
i think ,the love in the real life will meet as many difficulties as that in the film showed,the snow queen is not a bad women,and the bear who loves her is great and full of tolerance. ... Read more

A pre-superstardom Russell Crowe brings enough leading-man wattage to this modest Canadian drama to light all of Manitoba. Set in the prairie country above Minnesota in 1942, For the Moment's wartime romance stars Crowe as Lachlan, a rakish Australian pilot signed on to the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, which trains fliers for combat duty. With an average life expectancy of the program's graduates no more than six weeks, Lachlan wastes no time wooing the attractive and lonely Lill (Christianne Hirt), wife of a farmer-turned-soldier serving overseas. The two fall in love, and their touching if secretive affair serves as a counterpoint to a more public, and tender, romance between the town's prostitute and Lachlan's commanding officer. Writer-director Aaron Kim Johnston eschews bathos for a graceful, even stately, tone to his tale of loneliness and loss. The staggeringly charming, dashing Crowe, however, makes For the Moment compelling. --Tom Keogh ... Read more

loved it
I loved this movie and it broke my heart at the same time. I fell in love with the Russell Crowe caracter at the same time that the Christianne Hirt caracter did. From the beginning I was afraid that the end would have to be just the way it was and should have been prepared but when it actually happened, when she said goodbye, knowing that he may die and she would never see him again I found myself crying with her. There were many unpredictable and interesting twists in this movie and I give it my highest rating: I'll watch it again many more times, and probably fall in love and cry each time.

Above average (3 1/2) from here on in the Spree
Opinions, here's mine. This is a foreign film, foreign as in they consider film an art form not an industry (thanks Sam Mendes)

This is a story of another time, where the pace people lived at was different than now. That fact needs to be apparent from the beginning of the film. The Pachelbel Canon is a beautiful choice for flying music when you don't have a big budget.

I liked these characters. I felt for their situations and understood how you could get there. Top of my list of scenes: Russell Crowe reciting "High Flight" it was done beautifully. I'd like to see and hear him do Shakespeare.

One of the other reviewers said they felt the character of Lill was "wooden". Was she? Or was it her character trying to resist Lachlan? I felt like she knew, from the beginning, she could never give in totally to him . In just a few weeks he'd be gone, like her husband, who she had loved too. So, was she "wooden" or was she just saving a part of herself so she could survive sending these people she loved off to war?

I did enjoy "Waltzing Matilda".

On the whole it was a sweet movie more of what you would have expected from the 1940's... and wasn't that the idea. They threw in more current concerns as homosexuality and racism which makes it more 1990's. Nice film.

...Better Than Stamps
This movie is the saddest, most romantic movie I've seen since Zeffarelli's "Romeo & Juliet". First, let me say that I love Russell Crowe and anything that he does, but this movie showed a side of him I just loved-cute, cocky, spouting poetry and singing with his wonderful Aussie accent. You can't help but love him! The movie starts out bright and happy with Lachlan and Johnny, soaring in a Tiger Moth to Pachelbel's Canon, going to meet Johnny's girl. Lachlan is drawn to her married sister. Lachlan's take on life is that it's a collection of moments, that stay with you forever. I couldn't agree more. As the movie goes on, the spector of war looms over the characters and reality sets in. The ending will break your heart and never fails to make me cry. Watch it with someone you love.

Finally the whole movie!
If you are a Russell Crowe fan or a fan of the movie you can finally purchase the entire film on dvd from Amazon. I would not recommend purchasing the used dvds without contacting seller as previously this dvd was missing several whole scenes...this re-release is complete. A wonderfully done movie ... it is sad and sweet. A snapshot of one of the lesser known sides of WWII. The characters are endearing and funny, the plot moves along well and there is some wonderful photography. For Crowe fans his recital of "High Flight" is worth the purchase, not to mention a young Mr. Crowe at his most charming. NOt for those looking for an action war movie it is most definitely for the romantics out there.

Russell Crowe finds love.
Russell Crowe made this film just before his United States of America debut in L.A. Confidential (1997). Very nice and beautifully-filmed film set in West canada in 1942. Pilots-in-training find love with very nice women. Russell Crowe plays "lachlan" who is from Australia. He begins a nice friendship with a women (Christine Hirt) on a farm. it becomes a tender, forbidden romance. Lachlan wanted love and found it, even if it was for the moment. Incidentally, Russell Crowe found love too. In 2003, he married Danielle Spencer, whom he worked with in The Crossing (1990). They now have a newborn son. ... Read more

While it works better as a somber mood piece than a futuristic thriller, The Final Cut posits a unique what-if scenario that some viewers will find fascinating. In a role that calls for his low-key One Hour Photo persona, Robin Williams plays an expert "cutter" who's in demand for his ability to distill anyone's lifetime into a feature-length "rememory" film that highlights the better side of anyone's nature. His profession is made possible by the "Zoe" chip, a prenatal brain implant capable of recording a person's entire lifetime--a technology opposed by a former cutter (Jim Caviezel) and puzzled over by Williams' on-and-off girlfriend (Mira Sorvino). First-time writer-director Omar Naim divided critics with his impressive visual style and lackluster screenplay, which fails to account for the larger implications of the Zoe chip's exploitation. Still, the film contains several intriguing ideas that place it among other sci-fi films like Gattaca, suggesting one of the many potential controversies that await us in a future where ethics and technology are not always compatible. --Jeff Shannon ...

Curious Blend of Sci-Fi and Artsy
If you have an idea of what to expect before watching this movie you will enjoy it much more.

I won't go into plot details... you can read that above or in other reviews.I'll simply tell you that you should be fully awake when you watch this movie and keep handy a large bowl of popcorn and Mountain Dew or you risk falling asleep.THIS ISNOT a boring movie, but it is slow paced, methodical, and has a definite Indy or artsy-film feel to it.

The acting is perfect.Robin Williams plays a haunted and almost childish 51 year old adult who carries so much guilt and baggage from a childhood incident that he is almost crippled.We all know Williams and how he can be a relentless comedian who can't seem to express himself enough, but in this movie he is deeply reserved and skillfully introverted.The rest of the cast are mostly nobodies, but ever single one of them nails their performance - which means the director Omar Naim knows how to direct.

The story is set in the future but gratefully spares us all of the sci-fi gadgets, cars, widgets and toys so common in futurist movies.Their world is exactly like ours with one exception: our entire lives can be recorded.That in and of itself sets up the story and makes for some weird, strained, and very curious plot twists.

Again, you'll enjoy this movie... just be sure to know what to expect first.It's like nothing you've seen before.

Contemplative Piece of Sci-Fi
Robin Williams' character in "The Final Cut" is serious and low-key.Alan Hakman is so serious he makes Williams' Psychiatrist from "Good Will Hunting" look like Aladdin's Genie by comparison.Mr. Williams has been acting in mainly serious roles for years, and he's good in this one.

Besides his excellent, somber performance, this movie also has a clever idea going for it.Folks can decide to have "Zoe Implants" put into their heads, and that chip digitally records their every vision and sound from birth to death.After they die those "home movies" are edited by "cutters" to be shown at a post-humous ceremony called a "Rememory".

The movie gets a little into the ethical dilemma such a technology would present, but not really into the legal implications.Perhaps the screenwriter was thinking "if a dead person has committed a crime, who really cares if evidence shows up because they're dead already?"At any rate, there is some contemplation about things like "doesn't everyone have something in their past they wouldn't want someone else to see?" and "if you know your every moment is being recorded, won't you act differently - in fact, won't everyone around you act differently?"1 in 20 citizens have Zoe chips, we're told, and those who make use of them are relatively somber, presumably because the Zoe Memories are seen at memorial services for the deceased.There are loud, protest-sign swinging activists who oppose the whole process, and it took about halfway through the movie before it was plain to me that the reason they're protesting it is because it removes a portion of free will, self-determination - whatever you want to call it.

Alan Hakman is a gifted cutter editing a lifetime of recorded memories into a 2 hour home movie with just the happy parts.He has gained a reputation for being able to watch things that disturbs other cutters, and make nice rememories for dead folks with dark secrets.

James Caviezel plays a former cutter who is now a zealot for the radical movement against the Zoe chip.When a high-profile Zoe lawyer dies the activists assume that he has some very dark secrets, and they offer Alan half a million bucks for his file, hoping to use his secret memories to sabotage the whole Zoe movement.

The thriller part of the movie is a little less than thrilling and the whole memory chip idea isn't fully fleshed out, but as a character study of Robin Williams' character, the Zoe idea serves as a suitable platform.As a child young Alan had a traumatic experience (the scene that opens the movie).While viewing a memory he unexpectedly sees someone he assumed was dead.This drives another little subplot.

Overall - not a bad little movie.

Interesting Movie!
An interesting movie.It explores the meaning of memory, the importance (or unimportance) of memory, and chronicles the tricks that memory can play, on all of us.As usual, Robin Williams playing a serious character (as in One Hour Photo and Death to Smoochie - sort of) seems to bear no resemblance to his manic side, which is the one he shows us in his TV interviews, stand-up shows, etc.That he can go from one persona to another means to me that he is a great actor . .heaven only knows who he really is.

Anyway, the movie could have been much more than it was.This movie was a paragraph but it could have been a short story.

Great concept, poor execution.
There is a great concept buried somewhere in this film.What if our entire lives were being recorded and we knew it?What if we didn't know it for 51 years but then discovered the truth?What are the ramifications of a society where 1 in 20 people may or may not be recording?These and other topics are raised in the movie, but none are fully explored, leaving the viewer with a lot of questions about the writer/director's vision and purpose for this movie.It comes close to the vicinity of being great film, but ultimately is too shallow and leaves too much unexplained.For the concept, I give it 5 stars, for the execution, it gets 2.

As for the casting, Williams is great as a man who's carrying the guilt of a remembered playmate's death.He's believeable as a man who fears life and so lives it through the memories of others.Caviezel is underused and not fleshed out (a failing that strikes all of the other characters, as well - all of them).Just another symptom of poor writing.

I'd definitely recommend this movie for a rental.It's on par with Gattaca as exploring a strange new world and raising some really good questions.It'll make you think.

High concept, poor story, still fascinating
Despite its flaws, this was a highly original story, definitely recommended as a rental.

The movie is set in the near future where a company called EYES is successfully marketing a chip, called the Zoe implant, which turns people into living VCRs. You won't miss a minute of your life. You can preserve all your experiences for your family. Incidentally, however, you are recording everybody else as well, who may or may not want all their actions to be preserved for all to see. Some people would like to decide for themselves what part of their lives is made available for public consumption.

The film does a great job of raising a number of questions that might arise with the use of this technology through the experience of Alan Hakman (Williams), a cutter. When you have a technology that records absolutely everything you have done, you need an editor who cuts the film of your life to a 5-minute segment to be shown as part of the funeral service. To edit is to select, so the cutter's job requires a great deal of discretion. The more influential and evil you were in your life, the more discretion you need at your funeral. To prevent abuses (or justice, depending on one's point of view) cutters abide by a strict three-part code: 1) A cutter may not sell or give away footage 2) A cutter may not have a Zoe implant 3) A cutter may not edit together footage from different lives for a Rememory service (or something like this)

Hakman is the best at his job which he understands as helping the living to go on. He is discreet, never questions what he is asked to do, until one footage brings up an issue from his own past. In the course of the film, he will be tempted to violate/find himself in violation of various aspects of the cutter's code.

The reason why I gave this movie only four starts is because it is far better at raising questions than telling a story. What we really have in this movie is an attempt to think through the implications of such a technology, by showing beneficial and harmful aspects of it and its influence on people's lives. Is our memory always accurate? Would a technology like this help us to live our lives better or doom us? Is it ethical to show only the best aspects of a person's life when a more balanced view could be presented? Who should control access to the footage? Is some information so vital that it has to be made available even if doing so would go against the will of the family?

Final Cut is closest to a set of little case studies, each one highlighting an aspect of living in a widely-accepted surveillance society. It doesn't develop a full plot and ends abruptly, leaving the viewer (this viewer :) somewhat dissatisfied. It has a better concept than, say, that of Minority Report, but poorer execution. Nevertheless, for its originality and inventiveness it is worth your attention.

Sad, harrowing, awful story, well done
This movie documents the murder of Holly Maddux by Counterculture hippie Ira Einhorn(Unicron). This is an excellent film based on the history of the relationship between the monster Einhorn and innocent Holly. Einhorn murdered this poor girl and then left her body in a trunk in his closet for 18 months before the police found it.
Incredibly he was given bail and escaped to France, finally to be tracked down and eventually brought to justice in October of 2002 when after fighting many appeals and extradition in France he was convicted and sentenced to life in Prison. The movie details the trials up till 2001, so it's a little outdated. The film, though, is important as it spotlights the hypocrisy of the hippie counterculture, it shows how one of its leaders, who preached peace, only ruined people's lives and was a violent monster. We learn how conservative values turn out better in the end and how most liberals secretly beat and cheat on their wives and abort innocent lives. A wonderful account, much to learn here! ...
