Movie Reviews of Creator

Movie Review: epalfreyman
Summary: 4 Stars

This will be short. The movie is one of my favorites, ever. The romance is moving and both realistic and idealistic at the same time. Hemingway and O'Toole take a relationship that should be a joke and make it touching and believable. O'Toole is excellent as the eccentric professor. The theme of love is what holds the movie elements together and it deals with love in many manifestations. I'm not Catholic, but it was one of the few films that didn't turn Catholics into jerks, and I really enjoyed that here was a young couple trying to find love without having to disparage their faith to do it. The movie is charming, witty and touching. If you're a cynic, it won't be for you; but if you believe in love, believe in the big picture, and believe in redemption; this is a film for you.

Movie Review: An overlooked gem
Summary: 4 Stars

This is one of the most obscure movies ever made by Peter O'Toole, undeservedly so. It's by turns whimsical, dramatic, romantic, and heartrending, with a cast that makes the most of a rather peculiar story. Nobody does the absent-minded professor bit better than O'Toole, David Odgen Steirs is sanctimonious and self-centered as usual, and Hemingway was an outstanding choice for the flaky Mellie. Even the theme (String Trio Rock, which has, sadly, never been released) will reverberate in your head for days afterward.

The biggest disappointments about this disc are the pan-and-scan presentation, which was poorly executed, and the lack of extras on the disc; no background, commentary, soundtrack information, discographies, or featurettes were included.

Movie Review: Creator, Power of Love
Summary: 4 Stars

I have loved this movie since it came to the big screen. What was more science fiction when it first shown is now very possible. The love of a man to spend his career working towards creating his dead wife of thirty years from her cells. A young woman helps him with giving her eggs and falls in love with the doctor/scientist. In the end love is seen as the "The Big Picture/Eye of God". The young assistant to the doctor shows the power of love when he spends what could be the last thirty six hours of life of his love (who is in a coma). While there is a good outcome for all, the movie does make me cry for the power of love exhibited by the characters.
