A Full Review of the The Dying GaulCLICK ON IMAGE BELOW TO GET The Dying Gaul ONLINE:
The Dying Gaul A unique,,one of a kind movie! Both Patricia Clarkson and Campbell Scott has earned overwhelmingly positive reviews and is considered by many to be one of the best films of the year! Maybe that's what makes the movie so good.The great cast includes Patricia Clarkson, Campbell Scott, Peter Sarsgaard, Ryan Miller (IV), Faith Jefferies. The movie moves on like a dream and end leaving you wanting for more.
If you love watching Patricia Clarkson or Campbell Scott, you are deffinetly going to want to watch The Dying Gaul.
The Dying Gaul begins as a truly insidious tale of temptation: A gay screenwriter named Robert (Peter Sarsgaard, Boys Don't Cry, Shattered Glass) is wooed by Jeffrey (Campbell Scott, The Spanish Prisoner, Roger Dodger), a smooth studio executive who offers Robert a million dollars to turn the gay couple in his screenplay into a heterosexual one. Jeffrey also woos Robert into bed, despite being married to Elaine (Patricia Clarkson, High Art, The Station Agent). When Elaine starts learning Robert's secrets, the movie slowly and clumsily slides into an unconvincing thriller. The Dying Gaul has a variety of problems--there may be a way to make internet chat visually compelling, but this movie hasn't found it--but the big problem is that writer/director Craig Lucas doesn't recognize that an audience will swallow large implausibilities (like an alien invasion), but little improbabilities will make them stop and refuse to go forward. It's unfortunate that Lucas was so set on making this a thriller; some scenes in The Dying Gaul are startling and almost uncomfortably honest (Scott and Clarkson are excellent and Sarsgaard is outstanding), but they get swept aside by the brittle and uncompelling plot mechanics. --Bret Fetzer

Owing a major debt to Alien and its cinematic spawn, Pitch Black is a guilty pleasure that surpasses expectations. As he did with The Arrival, director David Twohy revitalizes a derivative story, allowing you to forgive its flaws and submit to its visceral thrills. Under casual scrutiny, the plot's logic crumbles like a stale cookie, but it's definitely fun while it lasts.
A spaceship crashes on a desert planet scorched under three suns. The mostly doomed survivors include a resourceful captain (Radha Mitchell), a drug-addled cop (Cole Hauser), and a deadly prisoner (Vin Diesel) who quickly escapes. These clashing personalities discover that the planet is plunging into the darkness of an extended eclipse, and it's populated by hordes of ravenous, razor-fanged beasties that only come out at night. The body count rises, and Pitch Black settles into familiar sci-fi territory.
What sets the movie apart is Twohy's developing visual style, suggesting that this veteran of B-movie schlock may advance to the big leagues. Like the makers of The Blair Witch Project, Twohy understands the frightening power of suggestion; his hungry monsters are better heard than seen (although once seen, they're chillingly effective), and Pitch Black gets full value from moments of genuine panic. Best of all, Twohy's got a well-matched cast, with Mitchell (so memorable with Ally Sheedy in High Art) and Diesel (Pvt. Caparzo from Saving Private Ryan) being the standouts. The latter makes the most of his muscle-man role, and his character's development is one more reason this movie works better than it should. --Jeff Shannon
