ThiefHott Too much of everything

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Claudio Carvalho On the 77th birthday of the widow patriarch Levi Rockwell (Burt Lancaster), his son and daughters come to his house by the sea with their families to celebrate his birthday. The promiscuous Aggie Rockwell (Suzy Amis) comes alone but soon finds male company. Rose Black (Patricia Clarkson) comes with her husband Crow Black (Bill Pullman), who is a baseball player with problems, and their children Cy Blue (Macaulay Culkin) and Dawn (Angela Goethals). The workaholic Rolo Rockwell (John Glover) comes with his wife Amanda 'Billi' Rockwell (Sinead Cusack) and their children Orson (John Bell), Kane (Dan Corkill), Flora (Sara Goethals) and Emily (Emily Poe). His daughter Ruby Hanson (Frances Conroy) comes with her husband Dwayne Hanson (Kevin Spacey), who is a comedian, and their children Max (Nicky Bronson) and Jessica (Sara Rue). During the night, the children are on the beach with their grandfather and they ask him what he would like to receive as a birthday gift. Levi tells that he would like to have a Viking Funeral since the worms eat buried corpses. When Blue sees an abandoned boat on the beach, he suggests his cousins to repair the boat to give to their grandfather for his funeral. Levi and his doctor hide from the family that he has an aneurysm and may die in any moment. When their grandchildren find him dead on his bed, they decide to honor his wish and give a Viking Funeral to him. "Rocket Gibraltar" is one of the most beautiful and sensitive films of reunions ever made. The story and the screenplay are perfect with the combination of death and the innocence of children, showing a sensitive work of the writer Amos Poe. The cast is a constellation with inspired performances, highlighting Burt Lancaster and Macaulay Culkin in his debut in the cinema industry. This film is also the debut of Kevin Spacey. The soundtrack with Billie Holyday and David Bowie among others is classy. Unfortunately this wonderful film is not available on DVD or Blu-Ray in Brazil. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "O Rochedo de Gibraltar" ("The Rocket Gibraltar")

vze1ryiu ********SPOILER ALERT!**************** All that matters here...and what i think everyone seems to be missing is......this is a movie, where 7 little kids, drag the corpse of their grandfather into a van, load him on a boat, and shoot flaming arrows at him until the boat explodes in a firey ball. And the movie ends when the parents arrive and have a heartwarming moment over the FLAMING CORPSE in the ocean....at a time when the tide should be coming in and that boat full of burning flesh would come shooting right back at them....A touching tale...really....its a weekend at bernie's meets (insert random Disney crap movie here)

easyaspi_ct I too came across this little gem while channel hopping late one night. After watching fro a few minutes, i was into it.This movie put me on to Billie Holiday. The old man lies on his bed, listening to a voice that had me enraptured. I almost wished the movie would end so that i could find out who the singer was.Since then, Billie has been on the top of my list of female vocalists...perhaps her contribution to the movie alone should score it a few points?That aside though, the movie is worth watching. Sometimes it takes the "innocence" or rather the openness of children to show us what is important in life

Petruchio A family of many come together on one special day to celebrate Levi Rockwells (Burt Lancaster) 77th birthday. That's the main basis for the story, but the idea is so much more. I found the film to me very light hearted and touching at times. The cast did a wonderful job of portraying a family that were all very different from one an other, but still loved each other all the same. The storyline was very entertaining...not surprising... but entertaining none the less. The reason why I say that it wasn't surprising is because you can tell throughout what was going to happen. I don't really want to give any spoilers here, but you know (or I did anyway) what is going to happen once the movie is set. Overall, the movie was a wonderful family movie that is uplifting. I found the acting to be good... but some of the script to be to contrived. You'll know what I mean when you see it. Macully Culkin being psychic? Anyway... I suggest a family watch this movie.
