I remember viewing the original "Clash of the Titans" a few years ago and thinking it a pretty good film: this was before i knew anything about art or philosophy, so I am unsure if I would still enjoy it. I remember the original as having a campy, cheesy, and ...

If Disney was hoping to strike gold with this as the next  "Pirates of The Caribbean", they failed. While all of the essentials are in place, it's missing an interesting and entertaining hero like Jack Sparrow. Instead, we are given Prince Dastan, the typical action hero cast into a shamefully ...

Tooth Fairy is an insult. After I completed my viewing I held only one thought in my mind, that I had just wasted ninety minutes of life, on convential plot lines, cliches, and typical child humor. There is no depth or care given to any of the characters or plot ...

"Broken Flowers" is a quiet masterpiece. A film that plays once to plant the idea in your mind, and then let's you toy around with what it meant for a little while until you find the answer. On a personal level, I found "Broken Flowers" to be a beautiful meditation ...

The Samurai are held in very high regard in Japan as a great symbol of honor, and there many films that show the life of a samurai as beautiful. "The Twilight Samurai" on the other hand shows how hard, painful, and sometimes even brutal the life of a samurai could ...

"Forrest Gump" is a good movie, It's beautifully told by Robert Zemeckis and has powerful charm to it. However, what alot of people could miss, and what I almost missed is what I feel "Forrest Gump" is trying to say, on the surface it looks like the message is "everyone ...

Awakenings is the kind of movie that you watch, and takes a few days after your first viewing to show it's true colors. you first watch it and think "I've got to find something in my life to treasure", but later you start realize that Penny Marshall is trying to ...

The running theme in the first two Toy Story is how kids use their toys to escape to their own worlds, and that's what made the first two films so emotional for me. Now, Pixar has given us Toy Story 3  where The Toy's Owner Andy has grown up and ...

Das Boot is unlike anyother war film I've seen before, it portrays warfare at sea, and shows the unthinkable, war that's worse than on the battlefield. The film is a dark metaphor for the unprediticteabillity of war, which is constantly shown throughout the film. Though it is a bit lenghly those ...

The Sixth Sense came closer than any other movie i've seen to making me belive in ghosts, it's that thought provoking. The film also comes packed with thrills, and crazy twists, yet still beneath all of it, there is a soul, full of emotion. The main theme it seems Shyamalan ...

The Maltese Falcon in an example of a healtheir hollywood, Where directors like John Huston weren't afraid to take chances, with their pictures, They weren't afraid to have a character who could care less about his partner's death or turn in their special Lady friend in on a possible death sentence. This what ...

As, Law Abiding Citizen started, I thought F. Gary Gray had crafted a true winner. The first scenes were uneasy, and powerfully dark, but from there the film just kept sliding deeper and deeper into a dark abyess of  lame excuses to see someone brutally killed. The film is supposed to show ...

The truth is The Dark Knight Is not a super hero movie. Christopher Nolan and his brilliantly assembled cast have crafted a "comic book film", no one walking out of Superman (1978), ever could have foreseen.The film goes greatly in depth, and political, this film is a thought provoking experience, ...

I've seen my fair share of war films, but at the end of the day none of them left a bigger impression on me than Platoon. Platoon is a brilliant memorial to lives lost in the Vietnam war. The are many different themes mixed into the film that show why ...

Raising arizona made me laugh, and in the big scheme of things that's all a comedy really needs to do. A comedy doesn't need to be a big symbolic metaphor for hope, or, love it's just needs to entertain you, and that is what Raising Arizona Does.  there plenty of ...
