 O
(OTHELLO) (2001)
Simon Remark reviews: "So few of
today's films are willing to take risks, opting instead to stick with
formulas that have proven to be box office successful. This, however,
isn't true of Tim Blake Nelson's "O," a bold and uncompromising retelling
of Shakespeare's classic tragedy Othello. "O" is perhaps the darkest film
to hit multiplex theaters this summer....." |
 O
BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? (2000)
David Bruce reviews: "Homer's Odyssey in an
updated story. In the Depression-era deep South, three escapees from a
Mississippi prison chain gang embark on the adventure of a lifetime as
they set out to pursue their freedom and return to their homes. And there
is praying and miracles..." |
 OCEAN'S
ELEVEN (2001)
Simon Remark reviews.
Ocean's Eleven is a lot like another Soderbergh film I love, Out of Sight,
inasmuch as it stars George Clooney, involves a big score, has great dialogue
(and great actors to deliver said dialogue-Clooney is especially charming
and witty in each), and a protagonist willing to risk it all for a girl.

 OCEAN'S
TWELVE (2004)
After splitting the $160 million take, each of the
infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit
life...but that's proven to be a challenge, much to the chagrin of Danny's
wife Tess. |
 OCTOBER
SKY (1999)
Based
on a true story of a boy's determination to be a scientist. |
 OLDBOY (2005)
A Seoul businessman, after a night of drinking, disappears. Oh Dae-su finds himself in a room very similar to a motel room – a bed, a TV – but with a hole in the door through which his food is slid in, much like a jail cell. Periodically he’s gassed. The TV serves as his only contact with the world. He learns that he is wanted for the murder of his wife. He stays in this room, with no human contact for a year, then two, then three…. Finally, fifteen years later he is released, without any explanation of who had done this to him or why. He wants revenge. |
 OLIVER TWIST (2005)
Director: Roman Polanski. Stars:, Barney Clark, Ben Kingsley. The orphan Oliver (Clark) meets a pickpocket on the streets of London. From there, he joins a household of boys who are trained to steal for their master, Fagin (Kingsley). Overview (dial up speed) |
 THE
OMEGA CODE (1999)
About
the coming AntiChrist. |
 ONE
HOUR PHOTO
Review by Darrel Manson: The truly scary
thing about this film is not that someone might obsess like Sy does, but
that there are so many ways that he mirrors our world. |
 ONE
NIGHT AT McCOOL'S (2001)
David Bruce reviews: "Here is an interesting
look at life... I really liked the idea in the film. Four men met the
same woman and each forms a very different idea of who she is. Each man
is influenced by their own grids, needs and fantasies." |
 OPEN
RANGE (2003)
Review by Mike Furches: The truth is that this is one of the best westerns
to come around in years. While the story line resembles the wonderful
Magnificent 7, there is enough story telling and uniqueness’ to
have Open Range stand on its own. Costner, Duvall, Jeter and Bening are
wonderful and it will be hard to overlook any of them come nomination
time for awards. |
 OPEN
WATER (2003)
Revew by Chris Utley and Kevin Miller: Kudos to
the filmmakers for not resorting to the usual blood & guts & slo-mo
tracking shots of the sharks approaching and devouring their prey. Instead,
the filmmakers use a combination of total darkness, booming thunder and
streaky lightning. This technique leaves us nervous, terrified, and biting
their nails. |
 ORIGINAL
SIN (2001)
"Love and sin interact..."
|
 THE
OTHERS (2001)
Betty Hamm reviews: There are many spiritual
issues raised in this film. Is belief in Christ something worth dying
for? What happens when you die? Will praying help you to overcome fear? |
 THE
OTHER SISTER (1999)
What it means to be human and the importance of love. |
OUT BREAK (1995)
This film is loaded with the whole redemption story. |
 OVER
THE HEDGe (2006)
Director: Tim Johnson Karey Kirkpatrick. Stars: Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling,
Gene Wilder. A mischievous racoon and his sensitive best-buddy turtle along with
other forest creatures try to resist the evils and temptations of encroaching
suburbia. |
