5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, December 14, 2001
This review is from: A.I. - Artificial Intelligence (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
First and foremost, don't listen to any critic's opinion, or the opinion of any disgruntled friend that might have stumbled upon the film. This is a "love it or hate it" film, with little room for middleground, and you will not know where you stand until you see it for yourself. Do not judge it without viewing it.

That said, A.I. is a visually spectacular, emotionally moving, and mentally arousing tale about the quest of a little, unloved robot boy programmed to love the programmer. When David is shunned by the world he was born into, he embarks in a journey of great physical, emotional, and temporal expanse to find the only thing he was ever programmed to want. While the story itself is entirley original, in essence it is a futuristic portrayal of the fairy tale Pinocchio, complete with the mysterious blue fairy. Plot aside, the movie is expertly crafted in the hands of Spielberg and his actors. Spielberg seamlessly meshes futuristic sci-fi style with fairy tale sentimentality to create a visually rich and captivating future that deserves nothing but the most earnest praise. The actors bring this world to life brilliantly, most especially Haley Joel Osment in the role of David. The weight that this role carries is astounding, something I wouldn't entrust to some of the most skilled adult actors. Yet Haley is without a doubt one of the most talented actors to grace the scene, age be damned, and he gives the role the infinite, nearly impossible justice it deserves. Rock on Hailey, rock on.

Like many viewers, I watched the last half hour through a filter of tears despite my noble efforts to restrain an emotional outburst. The last 30 minutse are so angering, heartbreaking, and beautiful, and the characters so real, that it's difficult not to feel for them. The entire movie is one emotional rollercoaster, at times terrifying, beautiful, humorous, and haunting. Certain scenes will stick with you for life.

Never before has a movie inspired so many questions about the nature of humanity, love, and reality in my mind - it had me pondering for weeks. What responsibility DO we hold to the things we create? This question, while intriguing, also serves as a subtle warning. A.I. is so epic in scope, so deep with meaning, and so rich in talent that it merits saying that anyone who dislikes this movie has failed, truly, to understand it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's OK to dislike a good movie..., March 18, 2002

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A.I. - Artificial Intelligence (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
Let's just say that AI is not the type of film that will entertain you. Provoke you, yes. Get you to think, absolutely. But not entertain. This isn't good old American escapism, it explores our human emotions deep down to its core. At the same time, it is a beautiful movie, with striking images and an amazing vision of the future, with a tight script and outstanding acting (why nobody from this film got an Oscar nom, I don't understand). It combines Kubrick's love of the bizarre with old-school Spielberg sappiness, and somehow manages to pull it all off.

The story follows the life of a robot child named David, the first robot made to love. The First Act of the film shows David introduced to his human family, and all the strange conflicts of love, jealiousy, and even repulsion that occur. These scenes are utterly chilling and creepy while being strangely sweet, and they play on our emotions just as easily as David's programmed whispers of "I love you, mommy" confuse the emotionally precarious mother. In a scene that belongs in film history, the mother finally abandons David in the woods, and he clings to the car screaming as she drives away.

In the Second Act, David joins with Gigilo Joe, and a robotic teddy bear to embark an quest, sort of like a twisted sci-fi vision of the Wizard of Oz. The Third Act catapults us 2000 years into the future, when super-robots discover David in a block of ice. While this future is beautiful and fun to explore, these story sequences aren't nearly as interesting as the first third of the film, and yet there are many many interesting throw-away shots and min-stories which can hold your attention. Spielberg consistantly blurs the difference between humans and robots, and when new characters are introduced the audience is left wondering "is its real?" for more than a few seconds. The acting performances are consistantly brilliant. Not a single bad actor in the film, to be truthful. Jude Law is unfortgetable, and Haley Osment is so good he puts adult actors to shame.

Many have said this movie is both brillant and flawed, and I can agree. There is simply too much to digest the first time you see it. Also, the pacing of the movie is all wrong, and some of the greatest climaxes come early in the film. All this makes for an excellent DVD, though! Now you can simply watch the moments that you feel like, and not sit through the entire saga.

THE DVD - is okay, but not great. Spielberg does not give audio commentaries for his movies, which is a tremendous crime for filmmakers now and in the future. The "making of" documentaries are numerous and detailed, but with a film this complex, I discovered that they simply do not tell us enough. The audio and visual quality of the DVD is excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Masterpiece!, February 12, 2002
By 
Weather & Noise (Iowa, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A.I. - Artificial Intelligence (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
I cannot agree with those who say this movie was terrible - I found it was an absolute delight, and I felt it melded Kubrick & Spielberg beautifully! Such a dark film, but at times it showed humanity as we cannot imagine it being, through the eyes of someone who desperately just wants to be loved - that is all. The acting was superb. Obviously thought, this film is not for everyone - it's a mental journey. It's not Clockwork, and it's not Close Encounters. It is of its own, and a beautiful vision Kubrick would have been proud of.

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Horseshoe Set (Toy)
My 6-year-old twin daughters became aware of playing horseshoes, so I purchase this set as a way for them to learn how to play without getting a "real" set. We have played quite a few times and they have enjoyed it, but their attention span isn't long enough to let each player have enough turns to score. It is very difficult to toss the horseshoes either around the post or leaning against it. I am surprised at how lightweight the horseshoes are. I suppose that is probably for safety reasons, but I think it might be easier to play if they were a bit more substantial. Overall, though, this is a fun set that we will use for years to come.

My 3 daughter loves Miss Spider's Sunny Patch cartoon and the Sunny Patch hat she has, so I purchased this horseshoe set. Was very disappointed!!, it is nothing more than a bunch of cute platic toys (if even!), then a fun game anyone can play. There is absolutely no weight all to the horseshoes. This alone, would not enable anyone to be able to throw them at a distance to make it considered a horseshoe game. I can understand not to have it so heavey for children of young ages to hold, but realy, there has to be some weight, in order for the game to work. With all that said, would NOT Recommend you spending your money on this item.

My daughter loved playing with this at the beach! She is a little young yet to really play it, but loved throwing the crabs and seahorses at the poles and would move the poles around to her liking.
