August Rush

Footbag · 02-05-2009, 10:09 AM

This is a great movie and it's playing on one of the Cinemax channels. Don't miss the opportunity to see it. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. All I can tell you is it's about music.

Great flick! And yes, it’s kinda hard to describe it without spoiling it.

I thought it was pretty good for what it was, but a little touchy feely for me.

Robin Williams has really been playing some bizarre roles the last few years.

Okay...this one is tough for me. I want to like it, I do. But I don't. I think the movie was 'okay' and a bit forced in its message. But then, I'm one of those who HATED, I repeat, HATED 'Cider House Rules' for doing the same. I liked the 'idea' of "August Rush" (and I love Robin Williams and Keri Russell) but think they could have done a much better job with it. By the way, the music, I believe, does ROCK. That Kaki King is freakin' awesome. You know, it's a chick who plays those awesome slap guitar solos...

And Robin Williams' character was a bit reminiscent of his incredible portrayal in "The Fisher King" for some reason and he was just so much better there.

Just my two cents though. And I also hated "Rachel Getting Married".

If you like Keri Russell (who wouldn't), that "Waitress" flick is actually pretty decent. And the director (Adrienne Shelly, whose career I've actually followed) was very unfortunately murdered before the film was released. Very tragic; she had oodles of talent.

I thought it was so so, and I'm even a music teacher.

It was a great chick flick. From that standpoint, I liked it, and I cried a lot.

I rented it when it first came out. It is a really good movie.

This was not a good movie. This was a GREAT MOVIE! It caught me very off gaurd. I will admit that it brought tears to my eyes at points. I will most def go buy this on DVD and would recommend everyone give it a watch.
