Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

moonspinner55 Extremely informative and thorough 91-minute documentary for Biography Channel on the making of Jonathan Demme's 1991 Best Picture Oscar winner "The Silence of the Lambs", adapted by Ted Tally from Jonathan Harris' bestseller. Recent interviews with most of the cast and crew (save for Scott Glenn, who is represented by a 1990s interview)--as well as FBI experts and film critics--give us insight into the writing, producing, directing, casting and filmmaking process, which came together after a brief shuffling period of the key players. Gene Hackman had beat Jodie Foster to buying the film rights to Harris' novel (as a directing and acting project for himself)--and when Hackman left the film, Jonathan Demme, tapped by Orion Pictures to direct, wasn't sold on Foster for the role of Clarice Starling, he wanted Michelle Pfeiffer. Accepting the part of Hannibal Lecter, Anthony Hopkins had thought his career in films was over after some movie disappointments, and wasn't sure if "a limey" would be accepted as an American serial killer. Whether or not you agree with the accolades and superlatives the film itself has received (I found a lot of it distasteful), for film historians and fans there's a treasure trove of detail here laid out in an entertaining and comprehensive fashion.

Michael_Elliott Inside Story: The Silence of the Lambs (2010) *** 1/2 (out of 4)Extremely well-made documentary about the making of 1991's THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, which started out as highly controversial with many major stars refusing parts but it ended up winning the top five Oscars that year. Jonathan Demme, Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Ted Levine, Scott Glenn, Brooke Smith, Diane Baker and Anthony Heald are just a few of the faces who are interviewed about the project with all of them openly discussing the production. The documentary starts off explaining how Gene Hackman had originally bought the rights to the novel and planned to star and direct. He eventually backed out and when Demme signed on he had to battle the studio because he didn't want Foster. Foster talks about originally trying to buy the rights and how stars like Michelle Pfeifer and Meg Ryan were offered the part first. Hopkins' career was on the downside and he talks about thinking his time in Hollywood was over. The entire cast are open about their feelings going into the project and many of them talk about issues that had about the film. It seems most people were nervous about Demme directing but hearing how everything would eventually come together so well was quite fascinating. If you're a fan of the film then you're going to get plenty of great stories about the production and post-production. The stars are very upfront and honest with their opinions, which is a major plus as is the fact that all the main players are here. I really enjoyed hearing from Demme on how his opinions of Foster changed throughout the making. Die-hard fans are probably going to already know all this stuff but the film does a very good job at gathering up all the information so those who are unfamiliar with it should have an entertaining time.
