Jonathan Pryce dominates the film with his fussy and idiosyncratic performance as the outspoken homosexual and iconoclastic chronicler of 20th century excesses.

Although all writers agree that Methvin made a deal with Texas law enforcement officers in order to obtain a pardon for his son, Hinton says it was not made in advance, as commonly believed, but rather after the fact, to keep Methvin from telling the FBI what really happened.
Emma Parker, Bonnie's mother, resided in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas at an address near the present-day Dallas North Tollway.
In all likelihood, this was the inspiration for a scene in the 1967 movie, in which Clyde (portrayed by Warren Beatty) asks a bank customer if the money he is holding in his hand is his or the bank's.

In Germany (and probably in most european countries), you can watch movies from all around the world every day on TV, and as soon as foreign directors like Claude Chabrol, Aki Kaurismäki or Martin Scorsese produce a new film, you can be sure to find it in the programs of the movie theaters.

Emma Woodhouse has a rigid sense of propriety as regards matrimonial alliances.
I had seen two previous versions of "Emma," both of them smooth and amusing, but in one Emma seemed all wrong, more like Lady Teazle, and in the other she seemed partly wrong, whereas here she seemed just right, just young and silly and stubborn enough.
Mark Strong as Knightley is not at all what I would have expected, but I enjoyed him very much: he strongly brings out the plain-spoken, practical side of the character, in contrast with Emma's affectations, and his occasional choleric outbursts are very funny.

Then (SPOILERS IN THIS PARAGRAPH DEALING WITH THE FIRST HALF HOUR OF THE MOVIE), Alexander proposes to her, and, right at the happiest moment of his life, Emma is shot and killed.
Alexander's impetuous behavior throughout the movie might be overlooked, if it weren't for the fact that there are so many other convenient (unlikely) events that keep the movie headed down a contrived and simplistic path.
The reason why Alexander can't change what happened is that Emma's death is the event that caused him to build the time machine.

 m3review: CARRINGTON
The movie is based on the true story of Dora Carrington, an English painter, and the men in her life, especially Lytton Strachey, an English writer.
Interstitial titles divide the movie into six parts, each title indicating a range of years (the entire story takes place between 1915 and 1932), and the man or locale of Carrington's life at that time.
The crowd that runs about in the movie is Bohemian, so the wit is sharp but the manners more relaxed than in, say, HOWARDS END or REMAINS OF THE DAY.

 Mr. Smith Goes to Washington featuring James Stewart & Jean Arthur Movie and DVD page on ARTISTdirect
Smith Goes to Washington, however, the decent common man is surrounded by the most venal, petty, and thuggish group of yahoos ever to pass as decent society in a Capra movie.
The world was indeed becoming a darker place -- as the movie acknowledges by the presence of representatives of various European dictatorships in the Senate gallery as Smith's struggle on the Senate floor continues.
The movie was so potent in its time that it cemented the image of James Stewart, then a good working dramatic actor who'd portrayed a range of roles, into the quintessential good-natured hero, the archetypal common man. That image made him a star, but also straightjacketed him to some degree.

 Movie Reviews & Film Showtimes
Director Van Damme is as emotionally ponderous as Van Damme the actor, and for an action movie, The Quest is terribly slow.
It does have its moments, though: Roger Moore as a rheumy-eyed roué always on the lookout for a profitable double cross; the deadly ballet of the combat (when they finally get around to it); and a beautifully absurd opening fight with Van Damme wearing stilts and clown makeup.
So, this is probably the movie that the Pogues were thinking about when they wrote that song "The Body of an American." Barry Fitzgerald plays the leprecaunish local fixer; Ward Bond co-stars as a peculiarly hard-boiled village priest.

 Carrington - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
For Lytton Strachey, his life with Dora Carrington gave evidence of "a great deal of a great many kinds of love." Thoughtful, dense with emotion, preeminently human, "Carrington" explores that intimate but maddening affair of the heart and reveals a thicket of conflicted passions seldom encountered on the screen.
Both Strachey, a celebrated writer whose 1918 "Eminent Victorians" revolutionized the modern writing of biography, and Carrington, a talented artist who shared his life from 1915 to 1932, were members of England's Bloomsbury group, a loose collection of like-minded creative souls.
Because her title role is less flashy, it is possible to ignore how critical Emma Thompson is in all this.

 Remakes - Good Idea Bad Idea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
However, your list of questions regarding remaking a movie are very valid and I seriously think more than a few of the studios need to read those (if they don't have their own) before green lighting some of these projects.
There is also the subculture of the remake that exists where a movie is released with the vague connection to the original.
Seems like they used to remake movies when the originals inspired them, when a little lightbulb clicked on while they were watching the old one on tv or something.
