sharks tale: 1 outa 10
A Very Long Engagement. beautiful, funny, harsh, poignant, oddly unfulfilling. 5/10.
I just bought 3 DVDs today...Citizen Kane, Vanity Fair, and Ocean's Eleven ..going to have great weekend movies this week :)
Ocean's Twelve? Is that out already? hmmmmmmmm I'm a little suspcious.Quote:

I give it 3 1/2 stars... just short of four...more , 3 3/4's....
one of my favorite films of all times..
another I like is "Kundun"....almost perfect, in my opinion...
Hi..
yes, I think I saw that one too..
Beautiful.... mysterious,
I loved it...

Hi Isobel... ( I am not sure how to work this forum setup)
I saw Hotel Rwanda.... shocking, touching, informing ( to those who didn't know what was happening) but to tell you the truth this very excellent film pales beside a similiar subject film..."Schindler's List"... ( I am speaking art here, not content) maybe it needed the Speilberg touch....
Storyteller
Last night, another forum member, Psyche, and I rented some movies, two of which I had never seen.
One-Hour Photo definitely showed how Robin Williams has the ability to play versatile roles besides comedy; he made an excellent villain. Everything about the film showed quite a creepiness factor that burrows under an audience's skin. The ending seemed a little ambiguous, but I loved the film over all. My rating: 9/10.
Chocolat I thought a French film until seeing the cast speaking without subtitles or dubbed-in voices, until I realized that there once existed a former Chocolat film in French. I loved the plot, being sometimes slightly predictable, but always interesting, especially in a sociological conformation vs. non-conformation manner. My rating: 9.5/10.
My mistake Papayahed...Ocean's Eleven that is...:)

hey, didn't mean anything by it, I just assumed you bought a bootleg copy of Ocean's twelve...Quote:

After a few recommendations, I finally watched Brazil last night, and wow, what a film! I had some difficulty following the plot now and then, and I probably neglected to understand some symbolism (I will have to see it again), but it reminds me much if George Orwell met Stanley Kubrick, oddly. My rating: 8.5/10.
I just noticed how many new movies I have seen lately. The other night I saw a Spanish film called Bad Education in a theater. It had an extremely twisted plot and setting, not to mention the odd characters, definitely seeming a movie the audience has to give much attention to understand. I loved the storyline, regardless, being slightly lost every now and then. My rating: 10/10 (really).

Rainmaker I haven't read this book by Grisham but the movie was very good;the story is wonderfully told supported by charming characterisations from DeVito and Damon. 8 KitKats
