Man, I can not get this film out of my head. It is so rare that a movie can affect me the way "The Pianst" did.

It's just well.....for lack of a better word. Stupid. It might have you grabbing your sides in 98', but when you watch it, its somewhat like, "OK, let me guess, Rob Schneider is going to pop up and say something dumb with a 'pause for laughter' moment?" Yup.

All of the characters were well developed and entertaining. This movie never pretended to be anything more than it was..a fun, wacky comedy with a bizarre plot. Anyone who beats this up for being dumb should be taken out back and paddled.

Now it all makes sense. Christian Bale was born to play horror characters. I couldn't understand why I was so , so, afraid of him even in films like "Velvet Goldmine" He is a poster boy for putrid souls in elegant wrapping.

Braveheart tells a emotionally compelling story about the Scottish fight for freedom. Mel Gibson shines as the hero William Wallace. It's an interesting movie despite some historical inaccuracies.
