    “American History X” Movie Review

    “American History X” Plot Summary

    A former neo-nazi skinhead tries to prevent his younger brother from going down the same wrong path that he did.

    A masterpiece

    Consider this: an ultra-low-budget movie on the subject of racism, with no CGI and few special effects of any kind, with all of the action taking place on two or three sets, the plotline basically consisting of two or three people talking at a time punctuated by occasional outbursts of no-holds-barred violence, a massive downer of an ending, and not starring the usual assortment of Hollywood stars. Sounds like an indie for sure, right? But it’s not. It was a Hollywood film, although for the life of me I can’t imagine how any major studio got behind it. AHX is one of the best films of the decade if not of all time. Norton, who was just kicking off his career, is absolutely mesmerizing as a repentant skinhead and Furlong, known primarily for his role in T2 (and whose career has sort of sputtered out), is right up there with him as the confused younger brother. A must-see for everyone, although not the kiddies. An amazing film, right up and through the incredibly sad ending.

    “3000 Miles to Graceland” Movie Review

    “3000 Miles to Graceland” Plot Summary

    A gang of ex-cons rob a casino during Elvis convention week. add synopsis

    one of the BEST action movies ever

    After watching the trailer, I thought it would be a funny movie, a bit stupid but funny (Costner and Russell as Elvis impersonators are hilarious). What a surprise! What I finally saw is one of the best action movies I’ve seen in a long time. It even has a plot you can follow, doesn’t need bloody guts and severed body parts to be shown in close-up. It is ‘just’ a film about bank robbers, that decided to rob a casino, ‘because everybody else robs banks’. There is a huge shootout and security guards and innocent bystanders drop dead by the dozen. The rivalry between the robbers evolves and finally leads (through some twists)to the showdown between Costner / Russell / dozens of law enforcers. The way Costner portraits the lunatic (actually believing himself to be one of Elvis’ illegitimate children)is just fantastic and worth watching the movie. Russell is also wonderful to watch, as the ex-con who just wants to get enough money to settle down on his boat (nice twist there)and who doesn’t share the enthusiasm of the others for killing. Even Cox as the ‘woman in the middle’ shows a surprisingly good performance. Admittedly, you don’t have to switch on your brain to understand it, but it is really cool to watch, funny and entertaining. If you don’t want to spend any money on a theater ticket, get it on DVD – it’s worth it.

    “Up” Movie Review

    “Up” Plot Summary

    By tying thousands of balloon to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn’t alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

    What a joy to watch

    LOOOVED this movie

    I found it so enjoyable to watch and actually had tears in my eyes from a particular scene which included a Doberman (won’t say more). I also teared up from an emotional, tender scene with Carl and Ellie

    The animation breathtaking, extremely funny and quirky too. It didn’t pander to children i.e a kiddy movie, but made sure it entertained ‘kids’ of all ages

    I actually wondered if the writers of this movie got together one night for pizza and beers and penned out this movie whilst a little intoxicated. It’s got some seriously good laughs!Can’t wait for it to come out on DVD.I highly recommend this movie.
