  Movie Habit: Review of Almost Famous (2000), *** 1/2
Almost Famous is a movie for anybody who's ever had dreams of running away with the circus — or, at least, of carving out a life of their own rather than doing what society says is appropriate.
Ultimately, the film also gives those of us who have thought of running off with the circus both some inspiration to follow those crazy dreams and the tender reminder that having a home is also a good thing.
Like a grand adventure movie, the characters are changed by their experiences and, by the movie's end, William is no longer the innocent 15-year-old we met at the start.

 CIRCUS/ **1/2
The writer of "Circus", David Logan, has such an ability to create convolutions that some day he may give us a great gangster picture.
"Circus" is a British movie starring John Hannah as a hit man who is asked by an old crime-boss friend (Brian Conley) to run his Brighton casino.
A movie like this needs more than complicated puzzles to keep us involved.

 Amazon.com: Video: Circus (2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
If this is so, it is a tradition that not only has been lost and forgotten by the time CIRCUS started rolling its camera, it has been trampled upon as well by the time it hit the big screen.
The problem with a film that has too many twists is that you are sure halfway through the movie of how it will end: exactly as you thought at the beginning.
While I will not completely sink this movie, I think that you can pick up many more that are "in the tradition" that not only do the tradition justice but also create something new and exciting.

Like all movie epics, Gladiator fills its time with an ample supply of meandering subplots: the shifting loyalties of Commodus' sister Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), Maximus' friendship with an African gladiator (Djimon Hounsou), the political maneuvering of a Roman Senator (Derek Jacobi) and the redemption of an old gladiator trainer (the late Oliver Reed).

But the difficulty in creating a good caper movie is that it must be complex enough to keep us involved, filled with all sorts of clever asides and surprises, but clear and well written enough to pay off when the climax rolls around.
And if that's not difficult enough (and in this movie, nothing ever is), Lily is also being pursued from across the sea by the curiously monikered Elmo Somerset, whom Lily double-crossed years earlier when she was still a Bonnie to his Clyde.

 Girl on the Bridge (2000): Reviews

Paradis is a most striking subject, but the movie is a winner as well, starting with a story full of fl-comic possibilities exploited fully by the great French director Patrice Leconte.

 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Movie Review by Anthony Leong of MediaCircus.net
Their quest then brings them into direct conflict with Mu Bai's old nemesis Jade Fox (Cheng Pei-pei, an iconic female martial arts star of the Sixties and Seventies), as well as Jen (Zhang Ziyi of Zhang Yimou's "The Road Home"), the powerful but undisciplined governor's daughter who yearns to live the way of the sword.
With a story rife with emotion and humanity, well-choreographed action sequences that literally defy the laws of physics, and a talented ensemble of actors, this is a film that fondly reminisces about the wu shu epics of yesteryear.

Circus of Animals was fun, but very short and not nearly as good as The Dance of the Hours from Fantasia.
In stark contrast to Travis Kowalski's opinion about Fantasia 2000, I found The Sorcerer's Apprentice to the be the most enjoyable portion of the film, in spite of the fact that the older animation doesn't work well with the IMAX presentation.

His is a movie in which Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" heals long-festering wounds between bandmates and friends, in which The Who's "Sparks" propels a boy into manhood, in which Led Zeppelin's "That's The Way" conjures more longing than a dozen pages of dialogue.
When Anita leaves home at the beginning of the movie, she bequeaths to her little brother (played by a wry, wise Michael Angarano) a stash of vinyl kept beneath her bed.
Crowe is not so judgmental, perhaps because he has coated his movie in that glossy, quaint haze of nostalgia, which forgives even the most unlikable flaw.

 BBC - Films - review - Circus
If a bunch of smart, spotty schoolboys, who by definition had yet to learn about Real Life, had devised "Circus" during their mid-morning break, you'd at least applaud them for their imagination.
As it is, "Circus" has been thought up (not that thinking seems to be their chief concern) by writer David Logan and director Rob Walker who, as far as we know, have indeed left school.
The world, in fact, is Brighton, Logan's home town, where Leo (John Hannah) is an egotistical con-man, Lily (Famke Janssen) is his ice-cold wife, Troy (Eddie Izzard) is a sadistic bookie and Bruno (Brian Conley) is the grinning, thuggish gang boss who lords it over all.

Quite literally, this film is one of the most perplexing caper pictures I've ever seen -- which likely explains its mysterious disappearance from theaters, practically before it ever arrived.
While Circus wants to be Fargo and Shallow Grave, it really ends up as a poor imitation of some much better constructed films.
Circus might have tried to make this film first, but Snatch did it right a year later.

This could have been a good movie, with some intense parts and good play.
Unfortunately, it has been ruined by the script, which for all time, tricks the viewer into believing that there will be some kind of final revelation, which never happens.
If the movie was honest from the beginning, then it could have become a very humanly intense road movie, like the kind of '70s movies by Bogdanovich or Altman.

 JS Online: Circus World finishes 2000 in red   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
BARABOO, Wis. (AP) - The Circus World Museum lost more than $75,000 last year, despite increasing donations and a record income from the Great Circus Parade in Milwaukee, according to the museum's annual report.
Donations to the museum, run by the State Historical Society, totaled about $600,000 in 2000, up from nearly $440,000 in 1999 and $418,000 in 1998.
Merlin Zitzner, president of the Circus World Museum Foundation Inc., blamed the loss on declining attendance at the museum as more people choose to attend water parks and a Ho-Chunk casino in nearby Wisconsin Dells.

For those not familiar with the Warrens, Lorraine claims to be a clairvoyant and a trance medium who is said to have the uncanny ability to contact the spirit world.
The book would then go on to spawn a bad movie and a number (of even worse sequels) and not surprisingly, the Warrens were hired by producer Dino de Laurentis and the production company to serve as consultants about the supernatural occurrences portrayed in the film.
