	Beautiful Creatures - Rachel Weisz, Susan Lynch
		Considering that "Beautiful Creatures" was written and directed by men, it's hard to tell whether this film is really a proto-feminist statement, or a Russ Meyer style ploy to hang out with cute girls.
		Though I found the scenery of Glasgow to be rather mundane compared to Scotland's other "big" city, Edinburgh, "Beautiful Creatures" made me realize that it's unique enough to have a recognizable feel that the film does a good job of capturing.
		I don't mind seeing a film stating that women are perpetual victims of the unsalvageable male psyche, but it is a little irritating to see a movie insinuating that beautiful woman actually suffer more because of their looks.

	The DVD Journal: La Vita e Bella (Life Is Beautiful): Collector's Edition
		The reason why Life is Beautiful has met with such success is easy to explain: It panders to the lowest common denominator, while hiding behind the pretense of an art film.
		There is absolutely no danger of harm in Life is Beautiful, except where it suits Benigni; and, with one exception, it only happens to characters we don't know (we hardly notice the briefly mentioned disappearance of children and old people).
		This is not a film, as has been reported, about the need for laughter during desperate times, or the surviving power of hope, or even, simply the beauty of life.

	A Beautiful Mind - CharlotteChurch.net
		Already one of the most decorated films of 2002, A Beautiful Mind is a drama about the struggle of true genius, inspired by events in the life of John Forbes Nash.
		For those of you who don't know already, Charlotte is connected to the film in a big way as it is her vocals that are featured throughout the soundtrack and in "All Love Can Be" a new song played over the film's end credits.
		This beautiful new ballad was composed by Horner with lyrics by Will Jennings, who wrote "My Heart Will Go On" for Titanic.

	DVDBeaver - Picnic Review by Jeroen
		There are so many beautiful scenes in this film.
		Like the one where coco (played by pop singer Chara, who was so brilliant in Iwai's SWALLOWTAIL and contributed a beautiful song to the soundtrack of his FRIED DRAGON FISH) is running on top of the wall in her all-black feathered outfit with a beaten-up black umbrella.
		It's very moving, and the final shot of the film will be burned into your memory for ever.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Beautiful Joe > Printer Friendly
		SOUND: "Beautiful Joe" is presented in Dolby Surround, but there's really not much more than mono for the majority of the feature, as the film remains a dialogue-driven effort with little else.
		Not only is "Beautiful Joe' a bad movie, but it's a movie that takes bad one step further by waisting a couple of terrific actors.
		On the other hand, the film also stars the always wonderful Billy Connolly("Mrs Brown") as Joe, a very nice guy who, at the begining of the film, finds out that not only does he have cancer, but his wife is leaving him because he's "boring".

	Welcome to the website of the dutch Beautiful Thing Fanclub.
		We are a couple of blokes with very strong feelings about Beautiful Thing.Not only because it is a good film, but because it has meant a lot to several of us.
		We hope the film will help bring encouragement and affirmation to many young people who are going through the same experience as the two boys.
		The problems they come across during the film are captured by director Hettie MacDonald in a witty, touching and very realistic manner.

	A Beautiful Mind
		A Beautiful Mind, Ron Howard's film based on a biography of mathematician John Nash, is carried by a tour de force performance by Russell Crowe.
		And, too, as is almost inevitable in a film of this type, A Beautiful Mind tips into sentimentality rather than sustaining a dryness that would have commanded more respect, and, one imagines, would have been more in keeping with John Nash's outlook.
		The film chronicles Nash's arrival at Princeton where mathematics students were indoctrinated in the importance of their work for national defense; it's the post-World War II years when the cold war with the Soviets was heating up and competition for scientific superiority was an American preoccupation.

	SPLICEDwire "A Beautiful Mind" review (2001) Ron Howard, Russell Crowe, Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly
		Yet Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind" is the fifth film in as many years focused on an off-kilter arithmetic genius -- and each one of them has been mesmerizing in its own way.
		But what it lacks in ingenuity, "A Beautiful Mind" makes up for in superb performances, potent emotions and graceful, emblematic (if safe and conventional) filmmaking.
		But these flaws don't hurt the film as much as the lousy trailers and TV commercials -- which take some of the film's most moving moments out of context and make them look mawkish and trite.

	Life Is Beautiful - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Life Is Beautiful (in Italian La Vita è bella) is a 1997 Italian language film which tells the story of an Italian Jew, Guido Orefice (played by Roberto Benigni), who lives in a romantic fairy tale, but must learn how to use that dreamy quality to survive a concentration camp.
		Life is Beautiful at the Arts and Faith Top100 Spiritually Significant Films list
		The film won Academy Awards for Best Music, Original Dramatic Score and Best Foreign Language Film, and Benigni won Best Actor for his role.

	Review: Life is Beautiful
		I have played my own Life is Beautiful game with people who have seen the film, asking them, "When did you actually realize that Guido was Jewish?" Interestingly enough, even those who go to the film knowing that Benigni is supposed to be Jewish do not have it sink in until after the horse scene.
		In Life is Beautiful, Benigni is a paisan from the Tuscany countryside who comes rolling down the mountains into the town of Arrezo to seek his fortune.
		The success of Life is Beautiful, particularly in Jerusalem and Rome, marks an important moment in the history of the Holocaust.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Life is Beautiful (1997)
		As it remains, the unfortunate ending takes away the possible greatness "Life is Beautiful" so clearly held, but the film is still an achievement, particularly because of Benigni, who took an almost impossible concept and brought it vibrantly to life.
		For its first hour, "Life is Beautiful" is a film full of magic, recalling the days of those '40s and '50s musicals.
		When taking into consideration Steven Spielberg's brilliant 1993 Holocaust drama, "Schindler's List," the Holocaust in "Life is Beautiful" is like a walk in the park.

	Dick Powell: Songs
		Also from The Singing Marine, "I've Gotta Sing A Torch Song" is beautiful, I think many of his fans may have forgotten his singing career when he went into film noir, because I think he could be more popular today if he hadn't done those classic films.
		The Song of the Marines" This movie had some of the most beautiful songs...
		You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby," shows how softly and tendly Powell could sing a song, this song is a classic and does it justice.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: A Beautiful Mind
		Though "A Beautiful Mind" is a beautiful film, it has the delusions of being a perfect film.
		Connelly is a beautiful actress, who's very charming and charismatic and good at whatever she does, but this is an especially challenging role that she pulls off with flying colors.
		"A Beautiful Mind" stays interesting and is quite an accurate retelling of Nash's life.

	CNN - 'Life Is Beautiful' through Roberto Benigni's eyes - October 23, 1998
		"Life Is Beautiful," as a departure and a risk, may brighten his star in the U.S. The film has already won the coveted grand jury prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
		That's precisely why the Italian filmmaker's latest effort, a fable that's titled "Life Is Beautiful," is both fitting and surprising.

	BBC - BBC Four Cinema - Life is Beautiful
		Nevertheless, Life is Beautiful was a huge popular hit and the only way to really decide whether it's crass or comic is to see it for yourself.
		The film's cheeriness, and its overlooking of the death camp's harsher realities, rankled many critics who saw it as either exploitative of the Holocaust or simply naive for tackling the subject in the first place.
		Film awards are rarely given to comedies, so it's particularly surprising that an Italian feel-good film about the Holocaust should not only win the Palme D'Or at Cannes but also impress Hollywood enough to pick up three Academy Awards.

	Review: Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful
		Life is Beautiful (La Vita e bella) is most disturbing in the context of actor/director Roberto Benigni's filmography.
		the film is not exactly tragedy but it made me cry in the last part...but still life is beautiful...
		The jokes still come, but the laughs are hard, and by keeping such a brave face in the shadow of extinction the film gives us a much deeper insight into the evil heart of Nazi Germany that the overwrought solemnity of say, a Schindler's List ever could.

	MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (1985) Director: Stephen Frears Stars: Gordon Warnecke, Daniel Day Lewis, Saeed Jaffrey
		My Beautiful Laundrette is a film of great humour, deep regret, and an incisive view of Eighties London which never topples into polemic or left-wing sentiment.
		My Beautiful Laundrette also saw the star-birth of Daniel Day Lewis, who won a New York Film Critics Circle Award for his performances here and in A Room With A View.
		The characters of My Beautiful Laundrette are all in the process of migrating – countries or classes - or reflecting on migration that has gone partially right, and partially wrong.

	Sex Film
		The Antonioni film is similar to the awful Beyond the Clouds -- beautiful people having beautiful sex in beautiful locales, while spouting...
		One scene in the film required Paris to be taped getting intimate with her boyfriend, but she denies it was a cheeky reference to her sex video.
		A violent French sex film has been picked up by the UK distributor and could be on release in UK cinemas by next March.

	Beautiful - Natural Spirit Ministries
		An odd and disjointed mixture of satire, straight comedy and syrupy melodrama, the film simply doesn't work and isn't likely to be wearing any box office or Oscar crowns anytime in what will certainly be its short theatrical lifespan.
		That's because Beautiful is, well -- how shall I put it delicately - it's rather ugly.
		As such, Beautiful rates as just a 3 out of 10.

	ObscuroRant: State of Grace
		Being that I'm a movie geek and book geek, you will not be surprised to learn that prior to this viewing I'd read any number of sentences containing the words "beautiful" and "Grace Kelly." Still reading about the beautiful Grace Kelly and seeing the beautiful Grace Kelly are two entirely different things.
		That particular film - To Catch A Thief - also marked the first time I watched a Grace Kelly movie.
		Watching her on screen for the first time, I experienced one of those punched-in-the-stomach moments, where the air vanishes from your lungs because you're stunned by what your'e seeing.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		The film was produced at RKO by Val Lewton, who'd once been David O. Selznick's story editor and who inspired parts of the producer hero played by Kirk Douglas in Vincente Minnelli's Oscar-worthy The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), an insider's look at Hollywood.
		The film feels both cozy and oppressive as it deals frankly with one character's death wish, familial and romantic love, the power of a cult to drive a member toward suicide, the sustaining warmth of a circle of friends, and the seductive allure of both art and oblivion.
		The film seems to suggest that witchcraft both exists and works, but the uncertainty we continue to have about some events and characters is a mark of Lewton's influence.

	Filmtracks: Species (Christopher Young)
		For Species, you have two twists on an otherwise normal horror outing for Young: first, the element of outer space adds the necessity for some wondrous cues of scientific discovery, and secondly, having a beautiful woman at the center of the story creates a need for sexual enticement (or slightly off-kilter romance).
		In "Fever," the original opening titles re-assigned to a scene later in the film, Young's theme is at its most interesting, moving only once at a heightened pace that better engages the audience.
		As beautiful as it is, the theme for Species is distant and alienating (no pun intended).

	Hour.ca - Film - Movie details - Selena
		This film is great to watch on the life and carrer of Selena and how she was a beautiful person and had a great singing voice and that she loved her family very much.
		Selena could have been the next Madonna and this film shows how beautiful Selena really was.
		Selena is a true star in the music buissness and to bad her singing carrer had to come to a end.

	Blood Sucking Erotica
		Much of the film transpires during these nighttime hunts, and so we are treated to some very adept and beautiful day-for-night shooting (a technique in which a deep-blue filter is placed over the lens to simulate the appearance of night).
		The genre films Rollin makes are often weighed down with a sense of loss: of friendship, of love, of innocence, even of life itself.
		Thanks to his wildly wandering story, Rollin has ample opportunities to inject REQUIEM with images both surreal and beautiful, disturbing and erotic.

	Indochine
		The female owner of a rubber plantation in Vietnam when it was French Indochina (Catherine Deneuve), forceful with her near-slaves on the plantation, intellectual, well heeled and beautifully dressed at parties, shows in her favorite opium den the decadence and decay that mimics the dying of the colonial era.
		Indochine, directed evenly by Regis Wargnier, has its flaws and may be just barely Academy Award material, but it is a fine film all the same.
		The film takes us to the end of the French domination of Indo China.
