As Good As It Gets
Donald Seymour
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

The unbalanced Terry (Danny Pino) calls his best friend Julian (Mike Vogel) that is having a bath telling that his beloved fiancée June (Brittany Murphy) is cheating him. Terry has followed her to the decadent Riverview Hotel, where she checked in to meet her lover in room 507. Terry explains to Julian that he brought a revolver to shoot her lover and is waiting for him in room 508, but his friend asks him to be calm that he will meet Terry in the hotel. Surprisingly Julian leaves the bathroom and explains the situation to June in the room in the beginning of a tense and dramatic night. "Across the Hall" is a dark slow paced thriller in the style of film- noir developed through a non-linear screenplay with many flashbacks. My only remark is the 88 minutes running time that could be a little shorter; anyway the pace magnifies the dramatic situation of the characters. I have really felt sad seeing the last work of the talented and gorgeous Brittany Murphy, who died so young. The music score is another plus in this good film that is neither a masterpiece nor an awful flick as indicated in some reviews but a decent low-budget movie. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Correndo Contra o Tempo" ("Running Against Time")

This is not a terrible or overly boring film. It is a typical 'b-movie' made by Universal at Universal Studios, using a rebuilt portion of the vast 'Phantom of the Opera' set. This is a mystery-suspense type film that Universal used to be famous for.This particular film was directed by newcomer Alex Merkin, this is a full length version of a short film he made in 2005. The director has talent & I will be looking for other films from him. The cast comprises actor who are not yet to be widely known to audiences.The 2 male leads are done by Mike Vogel & Danny Pino, They & the rest of cast is quite talented. Brad Greenquist portrays the somewhat creepy porter effectively.This also happened to be the last film Brittany Murphy made before her tragic death in late 2009. 'Tis a pity as she was more than just a pretty face, she could act.For a low budget film the production values are OK. I would have liked it better if the script was more coherent.It could & should have been about 75 minutes long & not 93. This type film should never be longer than 75 minutes.Non-the-less the rating would never have been too much higher, its just not that type film, For what it is its an OK film.Ratings:**1/2 (out of 4) 67 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)

I loved this movie!!! I didn't think it was predictable at all! It had A LOT of twists which in my book made it a very good thriller!!The movie jumps back and forth in the story line, showing what happened at the beginning and then at the end and eventually connecting it altogether. By the end of the movie your on the edge of your seat! This movie really makes you think.You think you know what's going on in the story and then everything changes!I would definitely recommend seeing this if you are looking for a good psychological thriller! It's one of the best thrillers I've seen!!

If you want to really enjoy this film, don't forget to switch off your brain before viewing. From the beginning titles throughout the all film you will as well enjoy the atmosphere of the hotel, the smart photography, the music score and the decent performance of the actors. Alas, don't expect anyone of the characters do something intelligent, especially the guy who is completely innocent and then flees (just to get caught a few storeys below) like he had something to hide or be afraid of. If you are curious about how a script can be messy and how easy it is to have holes in a plot, you should check this flick out. (the vote 1 is to correct the misleading official IMDb rating)
