Product Description

 
This modern fantasy stars Anthony Hopkins as William Parrish, a wealthy New York City media mogul who suffers a heart attack on the eve of his 65th birthday; although he survives, he senses that his death is near. On the same day, Parrish's younger daughter, Susan (Claire Forlani), meets a handsome young stranger (Brad Pitt) at a neighboring coffee shop and is instantly smitten. As they part, the young stranger is killed and his body is occupied by Death, who is coming to Earth to warn Parrish that his death is, indeed, imminent. Death enters the Parrish household disguised as Joe Black, the handsome stranger, and although Parrish understands Death's intentions he lets the family believe that Joe Black is a young business associate. Susan is shocked to find the familiar young man at her family dinner that evening, and, as she begins a passionate love affair with the debonaire stranger, she has no idea that she has fallen not for the young stranger from the coffee shop but for Death himself. In an effort ...

Meet Joe Black ~ Take A Buddy To The Movies W/O

Date of Review:  May 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: Is it not about time for DEATH to visit this bottom line?
Review: Meet Joe Black has gotten pretty much panned. It even sits at a 3 star over-all rating here on Epinions as I type this review. Why? I've just watched it again and I gotta say it just keeps getting better and better with each viewing. I love this...

"I should have my head examined again."

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: If Death comes for you, show it this movie. Surely it will die of boredom.
Review: Bad movies suck. An obvious, but true, statement. It's bad enough when I watch a bad movie of my own free will, but it's worse when someone else forces me to watch a movie I avoided for years because I knew it would suck. Now I like Brad Pitt, so I...

Meet Joe Black--Cliche Soirie Write-Off

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: Meet Joe Black is worth its weight in raw talent. Seeing is believing.
Review: This review is part of the "Cliche Soiree Write-Off" hosted by mind-full to celebrate her 2-year anniversary with Epinions. If you think a write-off for this purpose is cliche . . . well, that's the point. You're ahead of the game already! Read on...
