Moore, Sinise, & West performances not easily <i>Forgotten</i>

originalsnob by originalsnob · Sep 24, 2004 · Review · 326 views

Julianne Moore in Revolution Studios' The Forgotten   Julianne Moore stars in a dark abstract tale of shadows and forgotten memories.
A slow introduction leads to a compelling story line. The audience is pulled into the life of Telly Paretta, portrayed by a distraught Moore. Silver screen veteran Gary Sinise is cast in the character of a vague psychiatrist, Dr. Jack Munce.
   While picking up the pieces amidst a life shattering tragedy, Telly and those around her are suddenly engulfed in a frightening reality.
Dominic West potrays Ash Correll, Paretta's only ali in a fight to sift through the lies and abstructions that cast a shadow accross the lives of Telly and many other unsuspecting victims.

    The film (written by Gerald Di Pego)spins a web of surreal twists and turns all leading to a haunting climax.
Gerald Di Pego, creates a world where things unspoken of, the soon forgotten, and the nonexsistant are closely intertwined. As Moore & West inch closer to the truth, reality slips away.
    Most definately worth the time. The film has an incredible energy, which previews do not reflect.
On it's opening night, with a packed theater, this filmed delivered!
The Forgotten, will definately take the lead in this weekends box office successes and have a strong following in the weeks to come.

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

i prefer to try and figure it out myself and wait until the movie reveals if i am right. a spoilers page would...well, spoil that for me.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

i usually figure it out, but it's tough for me not to tell everyone else...

rumur rumurOG 2004

i thought it looked pretty interesting. all the reviews say its terrible, though. they say its another movie trying to get that "Sixth Sense" feel and failing miserably.

rumur rumurOG 2004

ah, the reviews were right. pretty terrible movie.

perrin perrinOG 2004

I totally disagree. Everyone that went with me to see it thought it was great too.

icescream22 icescream22OG 2004

I saw it & it seems like more girls will like it than guys. In fact, there was a guy there that I knew sitting in front of me(trying to pretend he didn't know me)& after I made myself say hi to him to put an end to the ridiculous awkwardness, he admited he wasn't impressed by the movie.

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

Dena go away :-P your swaying the audience based on your cornball nonfriend person...If he's not worth saying hi to or you have to force it, then why even care what he thought about the movie...his opinion doesn't mean JACK!
Um I saw this film MIXED audience ALL actually cheered, screamed, and jumped (for various reasons) through out the entire film.

icescream22 icescream22OG 2004

but i got the feeling from his male opinion that most likely more females will like this movie than guys in general...

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

Boo you, I win!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

a little guy insight: sometimes, if you ask a guy about a certain he'll answer about how he feels about YOU, even if he says or even thinks he's talking about the movie. it's a way to cut off unwanted common ground and any possibilty of enthusiastic conversation.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

yeah, well i havent seen the movie, but i talked to some guys at work that went with their significant others, and they said it was kinda lame... ending in some weird chase thing or something, i dunno, i was gonna go see it, but i dunno now....

deanh77 deanh77Founder

yeah, Julianne moore jumps into a spaceship and chases the aliens that are messing with everyone away and right before she pushes the Destructo-Matic Laser button on her ship to zap them, she yells "Aliens who make people forget things... FORGET THIS!!!" And then she gets a hero's welcome back in America, but the Russians are mad because the Cold War is over and nobody talks about them anymore. (Credits Roll).

perrin perrinOG 2004

No that scene at the end was great. hehehehe
