Days of Thunder With Days of Thunder, director Tony Scott tried to do for the Indy 500 what he did for the U.S. Air Force with Top Gun. But without Top Gun's go-go soundtrack and visual feats, Scott merely ends up with a Tom Cruise vehicle that's out of gas. Cruise plays (what else?) a cocky, upstart stock-car racer who faces down ruthless racing opponents. Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, Cary Elwes, and Randy Quaid do the laps around this movie's tiresome track with Cruise, while director Scott attempts to propel the action along with his trademark visceral, gritty but glamourous visual style. Days of Thunder is notable, however, as a turning point in Cruise's then one-dimensional career. After this film--having tired even his most devoted fans by playing a bartender, an air force pilot, and a stock-car driver--Cruise was forced to take on real character parts. --Ethan Brown Top Gun Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine. This designer action movie from 1986 would be all the more appalling were it not for the canny casting of good actors in dumb parts. Standouts include Anthony Edwards--who makes a nice impression as Cruise's average-Joe pal--and the relatively unknown Meg Ryan in a small but memorable appearance. --Tom Keogh

  I watched monkey mask three times!!, 2006-03-29
Kelly mcgillis.....what a sexy, classy woman! Like a good bottle of wine, she has increased in flavour. From top gun in 86 to monkey mask in 2006....I preferred the latter.
I thought the movie was cleverly put together, one of those films you think about days afterwards....deep but not depressing. Susie Porter played a soft boyish type....a romatic at heart. Some good sex scenes without going over the top....well worth a watch! Poetic justice.

Mav-tastic, 2006-02-09
This film is incredible, it makes me want to be a pilot and it will do you aswell mark my words. The explosive action and awesome sound track combine to give a breathtaking movie experience. I'd say the only bad thing about this film is the leading girl who is an absolute minger!! and lets face it maverick could have got any women he wanted and she is horrendous. Having said that it is only a small drawback for what is in truth an amazing film.

Rated: Suitable for 15 years and over

Director:
Peter Weir
When Samuel (Lukas Haas), a young Amish boy travelling with his mother Rachel (Kelly McGillis), witnesses the murder of a police officer in a public restroom, he and his mother become the temporary wards of John Book (Harrison Ford), a detective who's been assigned to solve the crime. After suspect line-ups and mug-shot books yield nothing, Samuel, in the most memorable scene of the film, recognises the murderer as a narcotics agent whose picture he sees in the precinct. Once Book realizes that the police chief is in on it, too, he whisks Samuel and Rachel back home to Amish country, where he himself goes into hiding as a plain Amish man. The juxtaposition between the life of the Amish and the violence of inner-city police corruption work surprisingly well for the story, and Kelly McGillis as the falling in love widow gives an almost perfect performance. Directed by Peter Weir, the film is extremely successful in drawing the viewer into its world and, accordingly, is immensely entertaining. The only thing that mars its polish is the one-dimensional, almost cartoonish handling of the upper-echelon police corruption--a subtler, more realistic treatment of this aspect of the story would have rendered the film near perfect. --James McGrath, Amazon.com
Above all, great directing, 2008-10-17
This is all about a great directing job by Peter Weir. The cop story is just the excuse to let feelings out from the main characters. Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis give outstanding performances, mainly due to the way the script is done: the say much more by the things they don't say. Silences are more important than words. The bathing scene is the best example. Peter Weir is able to convey all these feeling and still maintaining a great pace and rhythm. John Seale's cinematography and Maurice Jrre's music are both remarkable. Saw it first back in 85 (I was 11) and now again (I'm 31) and still amazes me... Such a pity that Kelly didn't get the career we thought she would have...

Director:
Jonathan Kaplan
Jodie Foster won her first Oscar for her role in The Accused (1988), based on an actual incident. While out for a night of fun at a poolroom, before her character knows what's happening she finds that the men she's been flirting with have pinned her down for a gang rape. The story centres on the efforts of a district attorney (Kelly McGillis) to press her case, in spite of a wall of silence by the participants--and then to take the unusual step of going after the witnesses as accomplices. Foster is outstanding as a tough, blue-collar woman who persists in what seems like an unwinnable case, despite the prospect of character assassination for standing up for herself. --Marshall Fine
Brilliant drama with first class acting., 2006-05-14
This film by Jonathan Kaplan is remarkable and truly captivating. I've seen this film a number of times and I still can't get enough of it. This is deeply moving and extremely gripping.
It tells the story of Sarah Tobias (a magnificent Jodie Foster) who is gang raped in a bar full of people drinking and playing video games. This whole scene was witnessed by a college student who notifies the police from a call box. Soon a District Attorney, Kathryn Murphy (Kelly McGillis), takes up her case with relish and manages to convict the ones that did it. After that, she decides to bring the ones who encouraged the whole rape to justice and with the eventual help of the star witness, Kenneth Joyce (Bernie Coulson), she puts them away for a long time.
What makes this film work on so many levels, is its power to get the viewer involved and to believe in the victim of the case. Also it has a warmth and charm about it. Baring in mind the film deals with the subject of rape, it shows it in a raw, intense and moving way when shown in the courtroom scene.
The main performance of Sarah Tobias is staggeringly played by Jodie Foster who gives the character something to believe in and fight about. The viewer can truly believe in her pain and anguish she's going through. Kelly McGillis and Bernie Coulson give excellent support and the subject is handled brilliantly by the director, Jonathan Kaplan and is quite staggering.
I thought that the score by Brad Fiedel was very moody and atmospheric with refreshing hints of lightness sprinkled in the mix. There are some extremely moving scenes where Sarah is on the phone to her mother when she comes home from the hospital and when Sarah is in her hospital bed when Kathryn visits her that are enhanced by the soft sound of the piano and keyboards of the score. This is one of the best films that I've seen.

Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Subtitles ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: A boy divorces his parents in this comic fantasy for the family. North (Elijah Wood) is the sort of kid most parents dream of -- he's bright, well-behaved, a good student, and a great baseball player. But North's Mom and Dad (Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander) are so busy with their lives and careers that they barely have time for him. A man dressed as the Easter Bunny (Bruce Willis) who serves as North's conscience and advisor suggests to him that if he's not happy with his parents, maybe he could do better elsewhere. North hires a lawyer, Arthur Belt (Jon Lovitz), who presents his case to Judge Buckle (Alan Arkin); the judge declares North a free agent, and he gives North two months to find new parents, otherwise he'll be sent to the orphans' home. North finds himself travelling the globe auditioning prospective parents, while a boy named Winchell (Matthew McCurley) thinks that North's legal victory could be the first step in kids taking over the world. North's would-be parents include Kathy Bates, Dan Aykroyd, Reba McIntire, and Kelly McGillis.
Elijah Wood is gorgeous, 2003-09-19
This film is one of the best films Elijah Wood has ever been in (except Lord Of The Rings). He is really fit in it even though hes about 12. Its really funny and enjoyable for the whole family. I've seen it 24 times and im still not sick of it. Bruce Willis plays a great role in this film aswell. The funniest place is Hawaii. You have to watch it to know what i mean so buy it now.
