As Good As It Gets
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
i thought it was entertaining because the music done by Brian Tyler was pretty good. especially the last scene and when the credits roll in. this guy i absolutely recommend for anyone whose hooked on movies soundtracks as i am. the background music i thought totally complimented the scenes and brought out the best in em. guess thats why i watched it 3 times myself. not sure but has the soundtrack been released yet ? I'm going crazy trying to find a listing of the music but still no luck.maybe if someone knows how to contact a music director or whoever involved with the film pls do tell me. maybe we could get them to post a track listing or whatever. i really think this movie has been underrated. it really does need more publicity so more pol can enjoy it.anyone out there who can help me with this ?
i just came to sing praises for this movie ThoughtCrimes. Then, after going through all the comments made, I realised it wasn't just me : it IS a damn good movie!!! Navi Rawat is a total hottie (is she Indian?) and I only realised after it was all over that I was glued to the set. Bravo HBO! I loved the bits where her partner was fretting over his job insecurities - that was so cute! To all the TV executives out there reading this, the vote is unanimous, go make a TV series already! (I'm really kinda hoping that the writers do a TV crossover with "AliaS") Although I do hope the writers layoff the conspiracy theory arcs that's so prevalent in TV series' these days for at least 5 episodes where the characters could get firmly connected with the audience first.I do understand it's all about the money, and producing TV shows cost money; but you've got gold in your hands here! Is it the demographics that's holding this show back? I remember a good sci-fi show called "Sliders" (remember the 2-hour pilot) was turned to crap by internal politicking and selling(out) the show to it's bottomline. Although I love Kari Wuhrer as a actress, her appearance marked the demise of the show. Please don't do that with this one.However, I kinda agree with one of the comments made : 1) about the title - it's lame and it's gonna turn off your potential TV audience.2) the first 50 minutes has a tinge of "Firestarter" to it.
An excellent all round film, from its storyline to its cast. It has elements of X-Men meets Alias. The story runs well taking you from the very beginning to a mouthwatering 'want more' ending. All the characters have their own identities and allow you to understand their feelings and emotions without the need for the usual complex and barely believable plot twists to explain seemingly unnecessary plot rollercoasters. From early on you get very comfortable with the characters and find them very easy to follow and understand, the actors and actresses making this very easy. Special mention must go to Joe Flanagan, (Stargate Atlantis fans will recognise him) who plays a real feeling cop instead of the usual leading Robocop character who never puts a foot wrong, also Peter Horton, (from Sideout and 30something fame) who manages to balance compassion with trying to do the right thing for all people.Give this film a chance, you will not be disappointed; just nervous stood in a crowd the next day with your thoughts running through your mind. Would you want everyone knowing what you were thinking?
I enjoyed Thought Crimes. Not only is Navi Rawat gorgeous, but she proved, at least as far as I'm concerned, that her acting abilities extend well beyond a walk on character for The OC. Nice to see that the 90's demise of ThirySomething didn't completely end Peter Horton's career but I don't expect he'll win any awards for his performance. All in all, it's a show I would definitely watch. I wouldn't sit at home on Friday nights just to see it, but it's definitely TiVo worthy. I hope it's not just another one-hit-wonder but only time will tell. As fir the overall concept, let's face it, not much is original these days but a fine little hottie like Rawat could make even an infomercial keep my attention. It's nice to know that just because you hear voices doesn't mean you can't still get a job in Hollywood.
