Watch Still Breathing For Free

Very Cool!!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

Better Late Then Never

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The soundtrack was what totally melted me on this one. The soundtrack was what carried the entire movie and chemistry. Add to that the special reference to the local legend of the church in San Antonio Texas. Joanna Going is beautiful. She reminded me so much of Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty on the early years of Charmed (tv series). I just wished the movie used the long hair she had in the poster. But most important of all was Brendan Fraser's face and biceps. Nobody else could have pulled off Fletcher's character more than Brendan ever could. I'm glad this movie was done during Brendan Fraser's heyday! Viva La 90s! Some critics (or cynics I may say)complained about the lack of chemistry between the two actors. But the doubting and quietly brooding beauty of Roz and the nerdy pseudo macho charm of Fletcher (and the way they kiss) was just quite the opposite. It was perfect. The ending with the piano sound background felt like it was in a dream and I didn't want it to end. I loved it. Though it was underrated, it was actually a good romantic movie.

Oh, my GOD!!!! For years, I've had a thing for Brendan. This movie sealed the deal. He is too hot for words in this flick!!! The chemistry between the players is freakin' amazing!! My poor hubby searched high and low on the internet to find a copy of this for me, and fortunately, when our house was robbed last Christmas, they left my all time fave movie. I don't care just how "hardened" you may have become in the dating world...this movie will remind you what romance is all about. Being a Texas with a heart felt fondness for San Antonio doesn't hurt, either. Ladies...I guarantee that after this movie, your night will be filled with pleasant and slightly naughty dreams....especially the wife beater, personal serenity device...and OHMYGOD....the slide show scene. AHAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Trust me, it's a gooder!!!! You'll love it!

I saw this at it's premiere in Austin at SXSW a few years ago--Joanna Going sat two seats over from me in the balcony at the Paramount on Congress Avenue in Austin--and the audience loved it. Brendan Fraser is pretty charming in the lead. I was surprised by the cameos: what's-his-face, Lou Rawls, as a street musician; and what's-her-name, who played Fraser's mom (I don't have the cast list handy). An "OLD Hollywood" icon. Anyway the plot is pretty unique, but maybe the main plot device could have been more clearly explained right off; I knew what was happening only because the director said what was happening in his opening remarks to the Paramount audience. The producer, a tall blonde BABE in a very lovely dress, gave me a CD of the soundtrack as I was leaving; I told her I thought the film was great and that I hoped she'd make a lot of money off it. She sighed and said she hoped so too.

Cynics and idiots have dismissed this movie as "unrealistic" or "a boring chick flick." Too bad. They just don't get it.This is a romantic comedy in the old style, where a lovable eccentric dreams of his one true love and goes to seek her out. Naturally, she turns out to be fallen woman with a heart of gold. Where in the twenties this might have lead to "zany comedy" this is more like a poem--soft and romantic and sweet. Visually, musically, emotionally it is beautiful--not stunningly beautiful like a sunset, but warm and beautiful and familliar like like a hidden garden you happen upon for the first time, sure you have dreamt about a place just like this. We would all like to believe (at least I hope we would) in true love.The folks who dismiss this movie are like the heroine, Ros: cynical, hard edged and business like, with no room for dreams or fantasies in their cold cruel realistic worlds. But in the end Ros gets it. She allows herself to dream and to believe. Pity those morons who don't.Movies aren't about "realism." They're about fantasy. This one rocks.
