Plot flutters, but climax redeems Mothman

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you enjoy believable movies with a solid conclusion, see something else. If you like to have your imagination pushed, ";The Mothman Prophecies"; will be well worth your money.

A Familiar Shiver of Recognition

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2002
The Bottom Line: Those who have an open mind to the remaining mysteries of our existence will experience that familiar shiver of recognition and will delight in it.
Review: There was a lot of hype when "The Mothman Prophecies" movie came out. This included the historical (if not hysterical) tale of the "real" incident that took place in the small West Virginia town of Point Pleasant in 1966. The actual event was...

A solid 90-minute flick trapped in a 2-hour mess.

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: While it's definitely not an AWFUL film, The Mothman Prophecies could have been greatly improved by a more heartless editor and a lot more intensity.
Review: Skipping clumsily between 'creepily interesting' and 'downright boring', Mark Pellington's schizophrenic The Mothman Propecies is a solid 100-minute thriller. Unfortunately, the actual running time is well over 2 hours.

I'm predicting big...

If you were frightened by the Mothman Prophecies, please seek psychiatric help.

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: This film is too slow to even catch a cold. There are better things to do with your time.
Review: Movie Review by Mr. Peter P. Kim
Senior System Administrator, Oracle DBA, and Unmoved By White Butterflies.

This movie revolves around one man's obsession to discover the truth about a supernatural "moth-like" entity. Richard Gere's...

Moth-er, Is This Creepy!

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: Everything comes together in this great flick -- thrills, atmosphere, pacing, cast, direction and of course, plot. Perhaps, even, a classic in the making.
Review: OK, so I'd read some pretty cold reviews of The Mothman Prophecies, even here in these very hallowed environs, and so, it was only because I wanted some cheap campy thrills at the expense of one of my least favourite actors (RG -- see my obligatory...

Richard Gere is actually pretty good in The Mothman Prophecies

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: Though nothing like I thought it would be The Mothman Prophecies is not 100% predictable, but is enjoyable and entertaining.
Review: Don't you just hate it when there's nothing to watch on TV? I sure do and the fact that we pay for our cable (and pay a lot, I may add) doesn't help. Knowing I'd be home and bored out of my mind, I went to Blockbuster tonight (along with half my...

A truly believable, well-photographed and well-acted suspense drama

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: An excellent action movie dealing with deeply disturbing material. Based on real life events.
Review: I consider this movie to be one of the better movies of the year, and am surprised that it was not promoted more heavily when it was released. The main characters are Richard Gere (who plays Joe Klein, a Washington Post reporter), Debra Messing (who...

Did you not see It? Don't.

Date of Review:  May 14, 2003
The Bottom Line: A talented cast that includes Laura Linney and Will Patton, struggle with a movie that's fit for TV.
Review: You know those Christmas presents that you are certain you are getting? You have a hunch that someone has bought you something in particular and you are really looking forward to it. Even the package that it is wrapped in makes it look like it is...

Catch the Mothman

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2002
The Bottom Line: Go see this movie. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Review: I was dragged to this movie seemingly against my will by my wife. Not that I did not want to see it but at the time there were others that would have been more my choice but it was her turn to choose so off we went.

After fighting our way...

A Roller Coaster Ride

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you are a fan of film and enjoy a movie with good cinematography, watch it. If not, don't bother.
Review: The opening scene was beautiful. The director of photography did an excellent job. The cinematography in general was great. The plot of the movie.... not so good.

From the start, the plot dragged for about 75 min before it got to the point...
