DVD Review - The Perfect Storm "Creating The Perfect Storm" is a HBO First Look featurette that was produced to promote the film during its theatrical run. Apart from the highly dramatic story, "The Perfect Storm" features a number of elements that make this film touching and entertaining. The sheer force and scope of the storm quickly lets you forget that you are watching special effects and turns the film into a tribute to these and all other fishermen, who put their lives in the hands of Mother Nature every time they go out to sea. www.dvdreview.com /fullreviews/the_perfect_storm.shtml   (1592 words)

The Perfect Storm Greg's Preview - Yahoo! Movies Now with The Perfect Storm (along with the submarine thriller of U-571), director Wolfgang Petersen is returning to his seafaring roots in a way as he is probably still best known for the renowned film Das Boot.

Perfect Storm I read the book, The Perfect Storm, before I saw the film; and shortly before the film was released, I read the book again. At a radio station, the meteorologist sees a unique set of storm fronts, which may converge, which he calls "the perfect storm." That is the coming together of immense storms that most weathermen will never see in their lifetime of work. What makes The Perfect Storm special is the spiritual connection you make with these men as they come to terms with the consequences of prior decisions in their lives when they know that they will die at sea. www.reelmoviecritic.com /2000/id121.htm   (1054 words)

Filmtracks: The Perfect Storm (James Horner) For a new collector of film music, The Perfect Storm will likely be exciting and inspiring (four stars and no less), but for the experienced Horner collectors, the score will provide ten minutes of new, noteworthy material and the rest might either bore you or seem as unpleasant as swallowing seawater. It is with absolutely no doubt that the music for The Perfect Storm will certainly blow up a not-so-rogue wave of criticism from those film music fans who hear his previous works in everything new he presents. The thing that seperates The Perfect Storm from his other soundtracks are the themes and repetitive ideas he uses. www.filmtracks.com /titles/perfect_storm.html   (1651 words)

The Perfect Storm - Starring George Clooney - MovieGuru.com Waiting for the storm to subside would rot their fish and make the trip worthless, so Captain Tyne and the boys decide to brave what turns out to be the perfect storm. The Perfect Storm is the best movie to come out so far this summer, and perhaps this year. Of course, The Perfect Storm doesn't have a traditional Fourth of July movie star like Bruce Willis or Will Smith, so it will probably fail at the box office. www.movieguru.com /perfectstorm.htm   (520 words)

The Perfect Storm, A storm chasers dream But when we talk about the perfect storm with tornado and storm chasing, we are talking about an event that would be easy to film up close, that drops many tornadoes over several hours. The Perfect Storm for tornado and storm chasers would be one where it is a slow moving storm, with many long lived tornadoes in a low precipitation enviroment away from any populated area but great roads, oh and no hail. Called The Perfect Storm because it was three storms combined into one — created an almost apocalyptic situation in the Atlantic ocean, where boats encountered waves of 100 feet (30 meters). www.tornadochaser.net /theperfectstorm.html   (626 words)

Review: The Perfect Storm Given that I believed The Perfect Storm to be unfilmable, I approached the motion picture with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. The Perfect Storm is not the first motion picture to pit man against the sea, but this is not a common genre, mainly because of the difficulty of crafting believable action. The Perfect Storm may be too much of a downer to become a huge summer hit, although that remains to be seen. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/p/perfect_storm.html   (1225 words)

The Perfect Storm - Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews If the hour that comes before the storm had given strong reasons to care about even one of the crew, The Perfect Storm would have been a much more effective film. That's the case with The Perfect Storm, detailing a meteorological monster of a 1991 storm in the North Atlantic, which wreaked havoc on shipping and boats at sea (the emphasis here) and flooded the New York City subways hundreds of miles away. There is so much that is wrong about The Perfect Storm that explaining it all to you would involve revealing all of the story. www.crankycritic.com /archive00/perfectstorm.html   (865 words)

Amazon.com: DVD: The Perfect Storm (2000) I guess the producers of "The Perfect Storm" felt that a semi-true story about six men dying in a fishing boat disaster during a storm in the Atlantic in the Fall of 1991 wasn't enough to hold the attention of audiences. While his crew is gathering fish, three storm fronts (including a hurricane) collide to create a "perfect storm" of colossal force, and Billy's path back to Gloucester, Massachusetts, takes them right smack into the middle of it. Based on the true-life best selling novel by Sebastian Junger, The Perfect Storm stars George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Diane Lane and is directed by Wolfgang Petersen. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00003CXJD?v=glance   (2768 words)

The Perfect Storm Wolfgang Petersen directed 'The Perfect Storm', which is so far from his opus 'Das Boot' that I could barely believe my eyes when I saw it in his film credits.

"The Perfect Storm" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies the Perfect Storm, starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg, is the semi-true story of a group of Glouster fishermen who, with their sword-boat the Andrea Gail, were lost at sea in the Storm of the Century. My feeling when leaving "The Perfect Storm" was a sense of disappointment and shock at the promotions given to this movie.

Amazon.ca: Books: The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea The unabridged audio version of Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm, read by Richard M. Davidson, moves in the same haunting fashion as the deadly storm referenced in the title. All in all, "The Perfect Storm" can be described as a lot of sound and fury (and waves and wind) signifying nothing.

The Perfect Storm. A Hollywood Jesus Visual Film Review. There is an interesting scene in which a meteorologist discovers the "perfect storm" shaping up. In the case of Jonah, not only does the storm cause Jonah to reconsider his call to bring God's message to Ninevah, but the events also served to demonstrate God's power to a group of unbelieving sailors, whose reaction was to recognize and worship the one true God.

The Perfect Storm (Main Page) The Perfect Storm is a real-life thriller that will leave readers with the taste of salt air on their tongues and a sense of what it feels like to be caught, helpless, in the grip of a savage force of nature. It was the storm of the century, boasting waves over one hundred feet high a tempest created by so rare a combination of factors that meteorologists deemed it "the perfect storm." When it struck in October 1991, there was virtually no warning. In a book taut with the fury of the elements, Sebastian Junger takes us deep into the heart of the storm, depicting with vivid detail the courage, terror, and awe that surface in such a gale. www.wwnorton.com /catalog/fall00/005032.htm   (364 words)

dallasobserver.com Film Surf's down 2000-06-29 It may have been the perfect storm, but this is the imperfect movie. Petersen and Wittliff want only to turn The Perfect Storm into a rollicking adventure yarn (Clooney, in scenes, is Batman and Superman), and in doing so, they've all but abolished any reason for us to care for these men. He was forced to rely on historical texts and recollections of other captains and crews caught in the storm; he played it safe, softening the blows by insisting that maybe this happened and possibly that happened. www.dallasobserver.com /issues/2000-06-29/film.html   (1635 words)

It is with absolutely no doubt that the music for The Perfect Storm will certainly blow up a not-so-rogue wave of criticism from those film music fans who hear his previous works in everything new he presents.

The Perfect Storm (2000) The Perfect Storm is a heavily fictionalized speculation concerning the experience of the Andrea Gayle and its crew during the 'storm of the century' in the early nineties. To summarize, the first time I saw The Perfect Storm, I actually had difficulty sleeping because I felt the bed rocking to the rhythm of imaginary waves each time my eyes closed. The second half of the film is their attempt to get home, and also incorporates Coast Guard rescue action scattered all around the Atlantic during the massive storm. us.imdb.com /title/tt0177971   (1059 words)

The Perfect Storm - James Horner The film is based on a real life hugely freaky storm where three different storms collided and by the looks of the liner images, stars George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg (presumably chosen because they would look plausibly rugged) the film makes great pains to recreate the intensity of the occasion. James Horner's score releases of late have been pretty long, but I think this is just about the longest single CD ever. Basically we have another very overlong James Horner score album that might have had repeated listening value had it been half the length, but as it stands, is fairly repetitive on its own and there aren't really any great highlights, just odd flashes that are more interesting than the rest. www.soundtrack-express.com /osts/perfectstorm.htm   (544 words)

The Perfect Storm by James Horner For a new collector of film music, The Perfect Storm will likely be exciting and inspiring (four stars and no less), but for the experienced Horner collectors, the score will provide ten minutes of new, noteworthy material and the rest might either bore you or seem as unpleasant as swallowing seawater. Horner fans and haters are exhaling all over world, as The Perfect Storm finds its way to their musical palettes, just prior to the release of the film. As The Perfect Storm hits theatres, audiences will once again be washed over by the ever-growing trademark sounds of James Horner and, whether they are aware of it or not, will be captured by the emotions these sounds evoke. www.tracksounds.com /reviews/perfstorm.htm   (941 words)

Barnes & Noble.com - Yojimbo -- Akira Kurosawa - DVD - Wide Screen / Black & White / Dolby 5.1 / Mono The nature symbolism is a nice addition to this film including the cleansing rain allowing us to shift gears from Act I to Act II, and the dust storm, which precedes the more unpredictable part of the story serving to unsettle and disorient us. There are plots within plots, surprising deception, perfectly paced mounting tension, unpredictable plot twists, stories within stories, distinctive and amusing characters (the big guy with his huge mallet is a lot of fun), the seemingly never-ending face offs, backstabbing, character flaws and our hero continually placed in the perfect position to observe, listen, and evaluate. While the basic theme of this story is not unique – the result of greed, manipulation of others, and the changing of the world (tradition vs. progression) – many factors add an interesting and unusual charm to this film. video.barnesandnoble.com /search/product.asp?userid=9v5v3FtAD8&wrk=3625818   (1036 words)

Comic Book Movies -- Fantastic Four I wanted to do A Perfect Storm in space, where a giant wave is coming towards them, and Victor blasts off in the escape pod, saving his own skin. July 31, 2003: Fantastic Four producer Ralph Winter spoke with ComiX-Fan about the upcoming feature film version of the Marvel comic. He was on the spaceship with them, and in my version he saw this particle wave coming - they didn’t want to say cosmic rays because they felt it sounded fake, but in fact cosmic rays are real. www.efavata.com /CBM/FanFour_archive.htm   (3499 words)

Amazon.com: DVD: Oliver Twist - Criterion Collection (1951) David Lean's 1948 version of Charles Dickens' classic novel begins with a bang: the young hero's pregnant mother fighting her way through a storm, a perfect metaphor for Oliver's difficult road ahead. Filmed in the shadows of St. Paul's Cathedral, "Oliver Twist" reveals the circuitous, seamy London backwaters of the 19th Century. A stark but good-looking film shot around some impressive sets, Lean's immortal adaptation is perhaps best known for Alec Guinness's remarkable (and slightly controversial) performance as Fagin, the old mentor to the gang of boy thieves. amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000F17A?v=glance   (266 words)
