The Final Cut

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

Science Fiction movies are not my favorite, I watched the young Jordanian director Omar Naim’s movie The Final Cut just because of Robin Williams, whom I knew more than 10 years ago through Mrs. Doubtfire and Good Morning Vietnam. I did not regret watching it and liked the movie for the metaphysic side, showing […]

The Usual Suspects

Friday, November 4th, 2005

Bryan Singer’s The Usual Suspects is not an ordinary thriller movie! Aside from the excellent cast of Kevin Spacey, Chazz Palminteri, Benicio del Toro, … the movie is very attractive until the end, finding out about Keyser Soze, with a lot of suspense and humor!
My rate: 9/10
 
Memorable Quotes
Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed […]

Hurricane Carter

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005

 The best Denzel Washington’s movie is incontestably “The Hurricane“.
The movie is about the true story of Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, an African-American boxer who spent the half of his life in prison, due to injustice and racism, committed by a corrupt sargeant, Della Pesca Paterson.
The movie well describes the sufference of Rubin Carter, and how […]

Sin City

Friday, October 7th, 2005

When Robert Rodríguez (El Mariachi, Desperado, …) is a director, and Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, …) is a special guest director, you should expect an extremly violent movie! So is Sin City…
Weird: the grenades don’t kill, bullets hardly kill, and cutting hands doesn’t harm, but “just” offends as cutting hair.
A good […]

Antz

Monday, September 26th, 2005

I watched the animation movie Antz and the main thing I can say is that “that movie is not for children!!!“, since it’s about politics, machiavellism, philosophy and word games; no wonder, the one who gives his voice to the hero Z is Woody Allen!
I liked the movie, where Z, a simple ant worker […]

The Life of David Gale

Friday, September 23rd, 2005

 Bitsey Bloom (Kate Winslet) has to interview David Gale (Kevin Spacey) 3 days before his execution; David Gale is accused of rape and murder of Constance Harraway, both are professors and advocates for the abolishment of capital punishment.
It’s said that Alan Parker’s movies are among the best; I have already seen Pink Floyd’s Wall, […]

The Insider

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

 I do consider the Insider as one of the greatest artworks, where Russel Crowe (Dr. Wigand) meets Al Pacino (Lowell Bergman).
The best Al Pacino’s movies are, in my mind, those in which he is not calm, he expresses rage, swears and shouts.
Regarding the movie, it’s an excellent example of how can the truth be […]
