Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
keyser soze I don't know why it has just 5.5/10 points.... I saw the movie on vacations, a dark night, I began to hear noises everywhere, my god, what a moment. For me the movie paid what it promises: it promises fear, so you get fear. Perhaps the context has much to do, I don't know. The characters are believable, and I found it very well conceived
Python Hyena White Noise (2005): Dir: Geoffrey Sax / Cast: Michael Keaton, Ian McNeice, Deborah Kara Unger, Chandra West, Mike Dopud: Lame thriller about elements that are heard but not necessarily seen or felt. Michael Keaton's wife is killed in an accident and he is approached by a stranger who claims that his wife has been communicating through air waves. Keaton discards this until he receives a cell phone call from his wife's line. He goes through heavy research to communicate with his wife but discovers that he is being given information regarding crimes before they occur. Fine idea that fades into formula until reaching a lame conclusion that is about as stupid as the visiting aliens concluding The Forgotten. Director Geoffrey Sax toys with reality and fantasy unsuccessfully. Keaton holds strong as a husband who goes from seeking answers with regards to his wife, to being entangled in something else altogether. Supporting roles do not fare quite so well. Ian McNeice plays a contact who seems to disappear too quickly, or perhaps he just sneaked off set. Deborah Kara Unger is wasted as another contact. Chandra West is pretty much hopeless as Keaton's wife who really needs a new hobby. Mike Dopud plays a detective who needs to figure out how any screenwriter can concoct such garbage. Drab photography throughout a thriller that makes more noise than decent entertainment. Score: 1 ½ / 10
culpep01 White Noise is a movie directed by Geoffrey Sax where an architect Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) loses his wife Anna Rivers (Chandra West) in a disastrous car accident. Because of this he turns to the dark, frightening world of electronic voice phenomenon (E.V.P.), communication to the dead. But as he begins to examine the mysteries of E.V.P., Jonathan makes an appalling discovery, once the gates to the otherworld is opened, there's no telling what will come through it. He learns this lesson the hard way despite the warnings he got from the many people he met in the movie. (Sax, 2005)I believe the theme of the movie White Noise is, "Don't mess with things you don't understand, no matter what the reason." Jonathan Rivers was so desperate to speak to his wife Anna again despite the warning he got from the psychic he met who told him to stop medaling. He decided ignored her and still did whatever it took to see his wife Anna again. He ended up staring at a fuzzy TV for hours and even ignoring his own kid, but in the end he ended up losing his own life and leaving his kid behind the person who needed him the most now without both parents. He just ended up getting consumed by EVP. (Sax, 2005) An instance where the director uses angles in the movie is at the very end where Jonathan is looking up at the ghost in the warehouse. I think the director Geoffrey Sax was trying to say the ghosts are more powerful than Jonathan and he is in over his head. Also the warehouse was dark which I believed was a representation of danger, meaning that Jonathan needed to stay away from the warehouse and leave things as they are. Living his life with a dead wife and paying more attention to his son. Another thing I believed the director did is connect the rain with the ghost and the static. It seemed like every time it rained someone was trying to speak to a ghost through EVP. (Sax, 2005) I think Michael Keaton did a great job of playing Jonathan River. He did a great job of making the movie seem believable. I believe if a person loss someone close to them and they knew of a way to communicate with them again they might try to talk to them despite warnings if the two people were really close. Love is very powerful and would make a person do things they normally wouldn't do.
namashi_1 Geoffrey Sax's direction in 'White Noise' is excellent and his work is up-to the expectations, but the flaw remains in the writer of this film Niall Johnson, who gives us a disappointing end.Taking a Topic like {EVP} is serious business... some people really believe in this stuff. You can hear from the other side? You hear dead people? 'White Noise' starts off really well, it grabs you completely. But the final 20-minutes go for a toss. The suspense just doesn't work, it falls flat. I expected a great end, because the film had the potential to leave the viewer awe-struck, so sad that doesn't happen in here.Performances: Michael Keaton is the life of 'White Noise'. He's intense throughout and proves yet again that he's a true Legend of Hollywood. Chandra West does well in a cameo appearance, while Deborah Kara Unger is strictly average. Others lend able support. On the whole 'White Noise' could've had a much, much better climax... but talking in totality, This one is a good one-time watch.
