| Well, I now have a better appreciation for what the Supreme Court
Justices must feel when they have to write a dissenting opinion in a
8-1 case. Everyone I know from my friends to Siskel and Ebert have
gone bananas over FORREST GUMP. I saw it, and...more |

| This was previewed for local audiences on the weekend, prior to
official release this week. The film is basically story of Forrest
Gump (Hanks), a borderline moron with a perfect soul, who rises from a
tough childhood to become football star, war...more |

| In general, I tend to avoid plays and movies that I think will be
sappy and/or overly sentimental--not because I have an intrinsic
dislike for them, but because they are such a hit-or-miss affair. A
good production of DEATH OF A SALESMAN left me...more |

| I went into FORREST GUMP with high hopes--I had both faith in
Robert Zemeckis, whose other films I've enjoyed, and in the story. I
was all ready for a heart-warming tale about a man who, while slow in
thought, managed to see some truths in life...more |

| FORREST GUMP is a highly entertaining film, though one expects
more of a message from it. Tom Hanks turns in a great performance as a
mentally limited Southerner, who has a hand in practically every
significant cultural event from 1960-1985. more |

| FORREST GUMP is a sleeper par excellence. In Canada, it opened
without any announcements, and on its first day in town, all of ten
people attended the first show. A week later, it is the number two
film, and fourteen days later it has a larger...more |

| "Life is like a box of choc-o-lates ... you never know what you'll
get" says Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks) in the movie by the same
name, and that simple philosophy is just one of many messages of this
film. Gump is a simpleton with an IQ of...more |

| What a surprise! I cannot say enough about this film. It didn't
seem to appetizing from it's ad campaign, but it sure has taken me
unawares. I was glad I went to see it, even though it was strictly
from the curiosity factor. A definite good time...more |

| The simple-minded naif is a staple of literature. Think of Don
Quixote tilting at windmills or of Huckleberry Finn on a raft down the
Mississippi. They are direct and open in their dialogue with the
reader, recounting events with amazement, little...more |

| As a fan of director Robert Zemeckis, I have eagerly anticipated
his next directorial effort since DEATH BECOMES HER two years ago.
FORREST GUMP lives up to my expectations and surpasses them also. The
film tells a genuine and moving story about an...more |

| Capsule review: What would you get if John Irving
tried to write a Horatio Alger story based on the life of
Gomer Pyle? Robert Zemeckis attempts to make a cult
