"This movie was fascinating and full of little surprises that made me laugh and cry alternately. One of the unique aspects of Snow Cake is that the cast is made up of sci-fi/action heavyweights! Sigourney Weaver is all too used to dousing slimy aliens with flamethrowers; Alan Rickman generally chews scenery as the sorcerer Severus Snape; and Carrie-Anne Moss will go down in history as the leather-clad, cool-shades-donning femme fatale of the Matrix trilogy. Yet here we get to see an overwhelmingly tender and subtle side to these actors, who are all absolutely brilliant in a small drama as well as their usual big box office outings. I urge anyone who has an interest in the human condition to watch this movie.

"I absolutely loved this movie. The opening scene with the narator setting up the story and the dolphins is worth the price of the film alone.
I had to do research on the film to see if any of the Monty Python troupe was involved because it is the most 'MontyPythonesque' movie I have ever seen, other than actual Monty Python films. Maybe the 'Brits' just have the special touch with dark, sarcastic, human bashing humor.
Sam Rockwell made the movie and Alan Rickman did a great job.
By far, the funniest movie I have seen in quite a while.
I have since read the book and did not enjoy it, so perhaps that is why I enjoyed the movie where fans of Adams find the movie appalling. Just a thought."
"Thank goodness. Finally a leading role providing a small sample of Alan Rickman's depth without handing him yet another bad guy. The film touches many nerves, is sensitive and illustrates the worth of people with disabilities. Weaver is excellent and without vanity. Rickman allows his tender, sensitive, and insecure side to be glimpsed. This film deserved a wide release and Oscar attention. As in nearly all Rickman choices, the audience has a responsibility to think as part of the total experience."
"The Die Hard films are the greatest action series ever made. This is a small collection of the trilogy. It does not have all the extras of the six disc ultimate box set that was released a couple years ago, but you get what you are paying for here. For $30 you get the three films. You can look at it as only getting half of the old box set, but you are getting it for half the price as well.
This is a Die Hard set for people like me who don't care about a million extra features and just want to enjoy the movies at an affordable price. Don't get me wrong, it isn't like I dislike extras, but to be honest I only watch them once or twice, so to me it isn't worth the extra cash."
