Summary: I have such a Tooth-Ache
Review: This movie had such a sugar sweet quality about it, I got a tooth-ache. I am surprised they didn't go back and save Political leaders and the like. Enjoyable most of the time if you can get past the obvious lack of rational thought, and wasted screen time. I should have rented it on video. Not a suitable movie to sit through at the theatre. TOO LONG. Rent it, make popcorn, take a break every 20-30 minutes, you're good to go.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie so far
Review: Frequency rocks. Dennis Quaid delivers like never before. This is a must see movie for anyone who's interested in changing-the-past stuff. Worth the purchase.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent Potrayal- Fantasy blending with Reality
Review: This movie was very fascinating to me. The idea of time travel, time/space mixing, etc. makes it so mind boggling. Dennis Quaid did an excellent portrayal of the father, willing to do anything to protect his wife, and to keep his son. The love between the father and son is very touching. I haven't seen many family based, yet action-packed adult based movies lie this one. Aside from some very graphic photos shown in two or three scenes, the movie is very clean. I would definetly recommend it to anyone old enough to understand and appreciate it!

Review: Frequency

In this day and age of advanced technology it seems that every time you turn around they come out with a new movie about the dangers of technology. The latest one is a very good movie that grabs at your heartstrings and also keeps you on the edge of your seat. Police officer John Sullivan is having a bad night. His wife has left him and he knows that she's not coming back. When his best friend since childhood discovers the old ham radio that John's father Frank owned in the closet of John's house they dig it out and what happens next is nothing short of astounding. John finds himself talking to his father through the radio. The trouble is that Frank died in a fire 30 years ago in 1969. When they realize what is going on John tries to convince Frank that he's going to die in a fire that he as a firefighter will be called to help fight. After saving his life, John realizes that. he has changed the course of history and that now in order to prevent another death he will have to use information from the 90's combined with help from his father in the 60's to catch a killer known as the "Nightingale Rapist" who will have claimed the life of their mother unless they can stop him before the night she would have died in 1969 falls. Directed by Gregory Hoblit ("Primal Fear") this chilling thriller is full of things that are improbable, but with the solid acting that populates this movie it's a minor flaw in an otherwise great film which is a sure bet to be on my top 10 films of the year. Review : **** Out of five

Summary: Wonderful Movie!
Review: I loved this movie! I thought that the ending was kind of weird but other than that it is an AWESOME movie! I have to see it again to make sense of the ending! I hope that it comes out on VHS as well as DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I have seen it 7 times, I can't get enough!
Review: This was a well made movie that someone put a lot of thought into. To have small jesters in the beginning of the movie reflect an even greater meaning later in the movie were numerous and incredible.The expressions on John Sullivan's face throughout the movie were what made the meaning of this picture come to life. You could see a bitter/angry person become a changed individual just by watching his facial expressions. I enjoy taking friends to this movie just to hear how much they,too, loved it. I have seen a lot of movies in the past 3 months but none were done as good as this one. I can't wait to go back for the 8th time. If this movie would of been promoted more it would of captured more attention.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How'd they wrap THAT story up in a neat little package?
Review: I don't know how they did it, but this movie is one of the most emotionally challenging, heart-wrenching, intellectually stimulating movie I've seen in a long time. I'm not one to go see a movie in theatres more than once, but thus far I've seen Frequency in theatres three times and would be willing to see it at least two or three more times in theatres if it stayed there that long (am also chomping at the bit for when the movie comes out on video).

I think what makes this movie so great is two-fold: 1)It is a mixture of so many different genres that just about anyone can appreciate the storyline. People who don't normally like sci-fi can appreciate it for it's dramatic impact, as well as the mystery story that is interlocked within the father-son feel-good drama. 2)The story is woven together so well that there are no loose ends to be tied up. A great big hand to the writers and other contributors for paying so much attention to minute detail! The 'plants' early on were used well to help the audience along and guide them in the right direction. Also, all the little things (secondary headlines, radio voiceovers) that were used to give the audience little hints into the lives of these people were very strategically placed and pricked the subconscious at a level one only realizes later. One of the reasons I've seen the movie three times already is that I notice something new or can read something into these little hints every time. Even the commercials on older John's television set contribute to the story line (pay special attention to the ironic significance of the polar bear Coca-Cola commercial to see what I mean).

A wonderfully stimulating movie for anyone and for any'time' :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's a pity there isn't a 6th star!
Review: Even if you hate superficial stories, you will love this movie. It is a love story(!); it is a thriller; it is a dedective story... It's been quite a while I was not moved as such. Dennis Quaid is at his best; it seems like he is getting better every day. If you have a father, just see this piece...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Saw this movie eight times (so far) in the theater
Review: I LOVED this movie. Have always been a sucker for time travel stories, can really get into the science fiction of talking across thirty years. The premise that John could avert the tragedy of his father being killed should touch everyone in some way, we all have things in our past we would like to change. That story alone could have been a whole movie, but no, there's more....then there's the wonderful thriller of a serial killer and his threat to John's family and John and his father teaming up to catch the bad hombre! If you haven't seen this movie/video yet, do it TONIGHT!
