Movie Reviews of Eye of the Beholder
Movie Review: BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
Summary: 3 Stars
Is it just me or do you hust want to strangle Ashley Judd's character. That is just one of the worst people I ever evr seen on a film. So if that was the meaning behind the character Ashley Judd did a great job. As far as Ewan Mcgregor goes he did an excellent job as the eye.
As soon as he begins to track her he falls into a love/obbession with her.he even quits his job so he can countinue to follow her. He even saves her life an occation the best part comes when she is working in a dinner and the cops are on to her. Her teacher even sets her up, but lucky for her eye is there to save her again.
The film it's self is some what of a strech, but writer/director Stephan Elliott did come up with a great consept thow. As far as the movie it's self he did a good job with it, not an award winner but good none the less.
Movie Review: One saving grace.
Summary: 3 Stars
At first I thought this movie to be completely pointless. Then I realized that it does something that I'm sure none of the people involved intended to do. It shows a woman who was badly raised and abused but once she got into the hands of a psychologist she was turned into a psychotic serial killer. The psychologist even refuses to identify her to the police after this string of brutal murders. In a nutshell this movie depicts the actual result of psychological behavior modification techniques! If anyone doubts this statement one has only to read up on serial killers to discover that each and everyone only began their murder sprees AFTER receiving extensive psychological and psychiatric treatments. So, three stars for an accurate protrayal of the psychological profession.Movie Review: So much promise....

..and such a disappointing ending.
Reviewer: aralissia (above) from North Norway, pretty much said what I wanted to say.
I was really intrigued from the start... the dark mood, the moody scenes, the scenic travels around the country... depicted by the little snow globes. The discussions with the not present daughter didn't really bother me much...it all looked like it would end in an enormously tragic climax.
Then .... nothing.
How DID IT end? Did they sit there, and froze to death and then sunk into the river, lake, sea, when the ice melted?
Did anyone read the book? Is that how it ended?
OK, I will order it....
But this could have been a great movie.... lots of originality, until...
Oh well, no need to repeat myself.
Movie Review: Eyes of Glass
Summary: 3 Stars
This is not a great movie, but it is well worth seeing. The performances are great and the cast is excellent. The production values are as good as any. It has all the parts needed to make an exceptional movie. If the ending was done better I think this would have been a hit. If you like movies like "Looking for Mr. Goodbar", "Taxi Driver", or "Eyes of Laura Mars" you should enjoy it. Ashley Judd and Ewan McGregor are quite good in their roles.
This is not one I will watch as often as "Along Came a Spider" or "Vertigo", but I certainly added it to my collection of mystery/drama DVDs. Well worth at least a rental and if you like Judd you should seriously consider buying it.
Movie Review: Interesting, yet lacking
Summary: 3 Stars
Eye of the Beholder is about a private investigater who becomes obsessed with a woman serial killer. The premise is good, but we never really understand the motivation of either of the two main characters. Too many questions are left unanswered. A sense of true lonliness and desperation does come through somewhat, but not enough to save this movie. On the plus side the cinematogrophy is good, there's great music, and Ashley Judd wears some great clothes. All in all, though, the movie is unique and worth checking out and forming your own opinions.
