The Merchant Of Venice - Michael Radford
with Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, and Joseph Fiennes
It's based on the famous play. Not bad actually, Al Pacino in particular shines as Shylock. Jeremy Irons gives a good performance, but doesn't quite get all the aspects of Antonio.
All in all, a well executed film with a nice period setting.
8/10
There is no darkness, there is no light, there is only Lasagne!
Shattered Glass by Billy Ray
A movie about press morality.
7/10
Finally saw The village by Shyamalan!
Was quite good, especially the suspence and the unpredicted turn of events towards the end. 8/10
I recently re-watched National Treasure and The Princess Bride (both of which I love).
I saw most of Catch Me If You Can, and really enjoyed it.
Man of the Year...
I really think this one was mis-advertised. I thought it was going to be about having Robin Williams, a comedian, being president of the US, but it turned out to be something different. I wasn't dissappointed, just confused as to when the fun was gonna start, lol. Maybe an 8/10 for me...
You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.

I also lreally liked it. Norton was awesome in this movieOne of the best! Terrific movie in every way...
Suchet is actually a very good actor. I've seen him in couple of other movies. The first time I saw him playing some general in Biblical times, it was very funny, because there was an image of little belgian detective always in front of me. It was almost as funny as seeing Elrond with the face of agent Smith.
Actually, David Suchet acts in almost every Hercule Poirot movie, and he is really good Belgian

During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

I watched Intolerable Cruelty last night. I'd give it a 2. I randomly picked it from my cousin's DVD's, for the sake of eating some popcorn. Oh man. I thought that it would be at least funny, or watchable, to some degree, given that it's Catherine Zeta-Jones there and George Clooney. I mean, they're okay actors, but the movie was depressingly... FLAT. As well as their acting. Absolutely no story (or maybe it's something only divorce lawyers would get?). I wanted to chuck it out the window by the end of it.
Could anyone advice some film to write about a review?
Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa
Great movie and Kurosawa's best works. A mix of heroism, despair, hope, humanity, as well as the cruelty of war. During the 16th century, Japan was filled with wars. Bandits and gangs terrorized and looted villages, leaving them with hardly anything to eat. As harvesting season coming, a village decided to hire the so called "hungry Samurai", a samurai who is willing to take rice as his reward. Having difficulties to find one at the first time, the village men who were sent to find the samurai, came back with 7 samurai to the village. The battle scene, which probably the most important scene of all, is completely well dramatized, as Kurosawa used slow motions and medium shots to capture the sense of violence and death.
10/10
I just watched The Secret of Roan Inish. I've seen it before, a long time ago and was completely captivated by it but I've had trouble finding it around here so the first movie I queued up when I joined Netflix was this movie. It was just as wonderful and magical and captivating as I remembered it. I give it a 10/10!
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
The Departed by Martin Scorsese
I like the movie. However, as a fan of Scorsese, I can't seem to find "him" in this movie. If I didn't know who is the director of this movie, I would never thought it is Scorsese's. Plus the plot is totally has no difference with the Hong Kong version, Internal Affairs.
700 in the scale of 1000.
