	Images - The Ice Storm
		The Ice Storm is a wonderful example of ensemble acting (although Joan Allen is in danger of becoming type cast in frigid wife roles).
		The Hoods are suffering an "ice storm" of their own: the father, Ben Hood (Kevin Kline), is having an affair and his wife, Elena (Joan Allen), suspects what's happening.
		But during the ice storm and the tragedy it brings, the family finds the strength that has somehow eluded them in the past.

	Salon "The Ice Storm"
		You wouldn't think it would require a miracle for actors to be good in "The Ice Storm," since the source for Ang Lee's film (which opened the New York Film Festival last weekend), Rick Moody's 1994 novel, is one of the most beautifully written and emotionally satisfying books any young American novelist has produced recently.
		Moody's controlling metaphor of the ice storm, which stands for a world that no longer offers these characters the insulating protections they've come to rely on, has become a reductive, clichéd symbol for the distance between them.
		Everything about "The Ice Storm," from the cool green titles that seem to smoke and shift (as if seen through ice) to Mychael Danna's score of lonely, Asian-sounding wind instruments, is tasteful and distant.

	Rolling Stone : The Ice Storm : Review
		The Ice Storm, which opened the prestigious New York Film Festival on Sept. 26, is the best film about family so far this year.
		Outside, an ice storm makes the roads as treacherous as these broken relationships, and a downed power line, snapping and sparking, waits to claim a victim.
		All the characters converge on the night of the ice storm.

	All in the Family - The Ice Storm, The Myth of Fingerprints, A Thousand Acres. By David Edelstein
		The Ice Storm, which opens this year's New York Film Festival, portrays the radioactive fallout of the counterculture on America's moneyed suburbs, in this case New Canaan, Conn., circa 1973.
		What saves The Ice Storm from art-film paralysis is that the characters never tip over into grotesquerie.

	The Ice Storm [1998] DVD at Shop Ireland
		I watched The Ice Storm after watching American Beauty since it was recommended to me as a similar film.
		Both deal with similar themes, but where as Eyes only looks at the sexual side of a relationship, Ice Storm manages to delve deeper, and stay in the psyche for much longer.
		OK - the imagary of Ice and the metaphor for frozen emotions / communication, and it being a dangerous slippery surface are fairly clear, but it works.

	Boxoffice Magazine [THE ICE STORM Film Review]
		Their lies and indiscretions are all revealed one freezing night, in which their region is hit by the worst ice storm in 30 years.
		"The Ice Storm" has several redeeming features: the performances are uniformly solid, the production design and costumes impressively authentic, the direction aptly understated.
		Based on Rick Moody's satirical novel, the film, set on Thanksgiving weekend of 1973, portrays two suburban American families who, despite their smiley-faced exteriors, are emotionally frigid.

	Review: The Ice Storm
		Not only is the storm crucial to the film's resolution, but its vivid presentation makes it almost a character in its own right as it coats trees, power lines, and streets with ice and turns the world into a beautiful-but-deadly place.
		The Ice Storm is perceptive about people, relationships, and human nature, and there's not a single moment in the entire 112 minute running length that rings false.
		The Ice Storm's impact cannot be conveyed in such a short span -- this is a movie that needs to be seen in its entirety.

	Ice Cube / Friday After Next
		For Ice Cube, it's a storm in the proverbial tea cup but unapologetically defends the film and the issues it raised.
		Ice Cube is in a relaxed mood when we meet to chat about Friday After Next, the third film in the popular comedy franchise, this one written solely by the rapper himself.
		The third in the popular Friday franchise, Cube wrote this Christmas-themed script because he "felt that it was the right time to do another one.

	Next Friday / zero stars (2000)
		Until recently, Cube's film career had seemingly halted--then out from nowhere came the smart and visual "Three Kings," in which he starred alongside Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney as a Desert Storm soldier in search of a large gold stash deep in the Middle East.
		Returning to his cinematic roots is rapper Ice Cube, who has proven with his newer efforts that it is possible for rap artists to find further success in the movies.
		Ice Cube plays Craig Jones, and his uncle is the unfortunate victim to this detestable accident, which leaves him smelling like the newspaper at the base of a liter box.

	Amazon.com: Ice Station Zebra (1968) : Video
		The script is well written and although the special effects on ice and snow appears to be bit cheesy by today's standards, it doesn't take away from gripping story about espionage, betrayal and secret microfilm.
		A nasty ice storm brews at the North Pole.
		The first half of the film is marvelous and, although it sags during the second half (for a lot of reasons) and the conclusion doesn't have the cinematic style of John Sturges' previous films ("The Great Escape" and "The Magnificent Seven")but, all in all, "Ice Station Zebra" still provides marvelous entertainment.

		The rear channels and sub woofer get a real workout during the later half of the film when the storm effects start up.
		The latest entry into this genre film is the Perfect Storm.
		When the three meet they form a ‘perfect storm’, one of such proportions that nothing can stand in its wake.

	Xiibaro Reviews: Guinevere, Stuart Little, The Straight Story, Ride with the Devil, and Last Night
		After such incredible work early on, I expected Ride with the Devil to be quite the film, especially considering its reteaming of Lee and The Ice Storm star Tobey Maguire.
		Such is the case with both Babe films and The Iron Giant, films that went beyond a simple family film by having a good story (in The King and I's defense, it had a good story, but the altogether mess of its poor animation and horrendous subplots kept it from doing anything with the story).
		The film is the true story of Alvin Straight (Farnsworth), an elderly Iowa resident that cannot drive due to his poor hips and failing eyes.

	Filmtracks: Eight Millimeter (Mychael Danna)
		Overall, Danna's talent for creating an alternate and foreign sound and feel for a disturbingly creepy film is apparent (recall that The Ice Storm wasn't too happy of a film or score either).
		Although hinting at the native North African music in small portions previously, the film's shift of setting to Hollywood is announced by a sudden and extremely heavy Moroccan influence.
		Danna uses various electronic acoustics to ominously foreshadow the coming investigation, including an interesting effect at the very start that simulates the turning of a film reel that is whipping around after reaching its end.

	Film Quips BARBERSHOP 2: BACK IN BUSINESS
		After the success of Tim Story’s 2002 movie Barbershop, due in large part to the media storm it generated, Ice Cube and his hair-cutting employees have reunited for the inevitable sequel, Barbershop 2: Back In Business.
		This film represents a return to formula, but with the acting talents of Cube and his supporting players, and the comic stylings of Cedric, it succeeds adequately enough at the lower expectations it establishes.
		Unfortunately, there seems to be much less of that this time around, so the film turns out to be a more generic comedy than the previous outing.

		Maguire, worried that the film would damage his rising career (his résumé includes Pleasantville, The Ice Storm, The Cider House Rules and the upcoming sure-thing blockbuster Spider-Man), allegedly convinced DiCaprio to pressure studios not to distribute the film.
		But after the film was in the can, things apparently soured between the filmmakers and his leading men.
		Financial terms of the deal were kept quiet, but both sides agreed the film would never be sold or released in the United States or Canada.

		While right-wingers are calling the movie an alarmist plot by environmentalists, activists and some scientists are rallying around the film, despite their acknowledgment that the premise is, well, science fiction.
		The evildoer in 20th Century Fox's film, which opens Friday, is global warming, something that in real life is ruffling political feathers.
		As he tries to warn the White House, he must work to save his son, who's trapped in the New York Public Library after Manhattan is smashed by tidal waves and turned into a gigantic ice cube.

	TAKE ONE: Cannes: International Film Festival - 5/9 - 20/01
		And the 1997 festival, the 50th-anniversary edition, was likewise the Worst Festival Ever, despite such competition fare as L.A. Confidential, The Sweet Hereafter, The Ice Storm and that year's co-winner of the Palme d'Or, Abbas Kiarostami's sublime The Taste of Cherries.
		At some point during every Cannes Film Festival, the press hacks covering the event morph en masse into the lemon--sucking Comic Store Guy from The Simpsons, the one who imperiously sniffs "Worst episode ever!'" when mention is made of any classic film or television show.
		There were new films by two old New Wavers, Jean--Luc Godard and Jacques Rivette, and an old film (Apocalypse Now) by a faded New Hollywood hero, Francis Ford Coppola.

		Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (a record-breaker for a subtitled film), The Ice Storm, The Wedding Banquet and Sense and Sensibility are all testament to a career of wonderfully fertile cinematic cross-pollination.
		Her films get bolder and more confrontational every time - Blackboards took her into the Kurdish lands on the Iranian border; her latest, At Five in the Afternoon, was shot in the chaos of post-Taliban Afghanistan - but for all their political currency, there's still evidence of an artistic sensibility.
		His early films were gaudy, bawdy and loud; drunken celebrations of the country's new-found social and sexual freedoms.

	Reviews for American Beauty on MSN Movies
		American Beauty, a rip-off of the more subtle and less watched Ice Storm, was quickly rifled off.
		The writer of this film has used these characters(Lester,Carolyn,Jane,and Ricky)to show the audiences many things.One of those things that they teach us is that beauty is every where and in this crazy mixed up world we live in nobody stops to notice it.The beauty is all around us,everywhere we look.
		Of course, this film bears all the stereotypes of what your average fourteen year old will tell you is wrong with suburban life.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "American Beauty"
		Many are comparing this film to the highly praised 1997 film ICE STORM (5/10), but despite some general similarities, I found the latter film to have very little surface and too much esoteric depth, while this one delivers a fresh, livelier outlook on its subjects, despite their obvious miseries.
		Having said that, this film is definitely an "adult" film to be savored by people who are in touch with themselves and appreciate a frank, sometimes brutally honest, look at their pathetic and drab existence.
		This film is original in story, interesting in premise, acted sharply by its well-rounded cast, directed in a manner made all the more absorbing, and edgy and humorous enough to keep me going, despite some pseudo-existential stuff floating around from time to time.
