Summary: Cute Flick, But Buy the VHS Version
Review: Other reviews have described this movie's quirky charm and essential good-heartedness, so this is just a note of warning: the DVD version has been "cropped" from the VHS one (I know, I know, widescreen is supposed to reveal MORE at the sides, and it does, only here they've also sliced off the top and bottom of the frame). I don't know if it was a bad editing decision or a bad transfer, but this movie's actually better on VHS. First time I've seen that happen.

Summary: Outstanding !
Review: Sometimes the quirky movies turn out to be a real find. Box of Moonlight is one of them. I believe there is a bit of "Kid" in all of us. If you have ever heard the call to be a free spirit you will love this video.I did.In fact "Kid" would be a great soulmate.Enjoy.

Summary: One of My Top Fifty Films
Review: This film is so genuine and real, so well directed and acted, that it can be watched over and over again. It is suspenseful and funny. Perfectly cast and charming, every scene is a gem. I did not want it to end. It is a keeper.

Summary: A Box Full of Golden Moments
Review: This Indie release from Tom Di cillo sure makes Hollywood to eat his heart out. J.Turturro gives one of his best performances in that movie which actually criticises our daily lives and points to the absence of happiness and satisfaction that can be gained from very small things from the life itself without asking for much effort. Story is based on a friendship between two people who come together with the trick of the faith. Story is well told by the director and the camera. Additionally actors even put more grace in it with their remarkable efforts.A touch of light humour is also adds to the flavour. Another successful example of US Indie cinema. A magical box of moonlight.

Summary: Don't hesitate-see it!
Review: This is a great one. Don't be put off by Turturro. I'm not crazy about him, but he's very good in this movie. Sam Rockwell rocks very well (sorry) in this one-he's excellent and the main reason to see it. I hate to use the "q" word, but this is kind of quirky-but don't hold that against it. This movie is funny and somehow achieves greatness (I'm not totally sure how). This usually isn't my kind of movie (there's hardly any violence in it), but the characters and their relationship to each other are very entertaining. It also has a lot of originality in it, which doesn't hurt. Enough already-see it!

Summary: heart warming story of two eccentrics
Review: This is a story of an uptight engineer who hasn't stopped to smell the roses in a long time who runs into an eccentric loner who is by his own words, "off the grid". The engineer, who is feeling his own mortality, is taught how to slow down and be more tolerant of others and the eccentric young man comes away less lonely and feeling more part of the world.

Summary: GOD AWFUL
Review: This is the reason independent movies get a bad name. It painfully ambles from art house cliche (the wacky free spirit, strained offbeat dialouge) to standard cliche (the pent up businessman, all Southerners see Jesus image in a decaying billboard) As if it werent bad enough to begin with, it runs a good twenty minutes longer than it needs to, as if the film maker had so much banal material he had to tack on just a little more. It offers the viewer no insight we havent all seen better executed before. Rent or buy Living in Oblivion, by the same director- It has its cliches, but it is about making fun of them instead of perpetuating them.
