“Mission: Impossible” Movie Review
“Mission Impossible” Plot Summary
An American agent, under false suspicion of disloyalty, must discover and expose the real spy without the help of his organization.
The best of the three
An engaging piece of Cold War histrionics set in fine motion by DePalma and his stellar entourage of fine actors. To me, it stands far ahead of the two sequels, primarily because it is more subtle and cerebral and less visceral than the others. The cast itself is not laden with merely young hot-shot actors inserted into screenplays for box office appeal. Rather, it is almost too politically correct in its casting as all the demographics seem to be represented here: young, old, Black, White, male, female, American, European etc. Yet each of the principals and the supporting cast fits into his/her respective role quite well, with little wasted motion. It’s as if they each have their own ‘raison d’etre’ as it pertains to the overall story line
The sophisticated spy-vs.-spy plot line is not only enhanced by the thespian talent, but also the inventive camera work that allows us to revisit ‘flashbacks’ of prior scenes that are taken from perspectives other than the original. To wit, the Jon Voight bridge scene gets a few once-overs, if you will. Also, the European locales are well shot with no gratuitous indulgence, which helps to embellish the story line. Lest I forget, a sweet job by Danny Elfman adapting Lalo Schiffrin’s ‘MI’ theme to the soundtrack, especially during the ending credits where he shifts the theme’s normal 5/4 tempo to a funkier, bluesier 4/4 time signature!Tom Cruise takes a nice turnabout from some of his earlier more ‘cutesy’ roles. His role here demands of him technical expertise as well as strength of character in order for him to merely stay alive. J. Voight and V. Redgrave are in fine form in their complex and beguiling portrayals
In summary, this episode of the ‘MI’ series characterizes what I consider to be a triumph of substance over form, of subtlety over the obvious. Maybe this attitude is a ‘no-no’ for modern audiences, but it remains one philosophy that I will always endorse.

“Saving Private Ryan” Plot Summary
Following the Normandy Landings, a group of US soldiers go behind enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.
Spielberg is God
Even thinking about this film gives me the chills , well,like practically everything Mr. Spielberg has done in his career , lifting the American movie into the cinematic heaven . Hopefully , many movies are still ahead of him , the greatest artist ever, no doubt !There is nothing new to say about Saving Private Ryan , after so many years , except that perhaps it ought to become the must study subject for anyone interested in military history or history as such , because ,friend,
it cannot go any gorier than this , that is, any more realistic than this ( watch Rambo 4 , When Trumpets Fade , Windtalkers ). Saving P.R. has somehow created a new genre of films , that is ultra-realistic war movie that transcends anything solely written, in fact , as has always been the case with Mr. Spielberg, literature gets its visual manifestation, where even Shakespeare would pipe down and bow in reverence ! Even 10 is not enough , simply no numerical quality, unit , exists to describe the sheer power of this cinematic experience , not even the designation ‘film ‘itself can do this ! Angelic, stratospheric , out of this dimension , Mona Lisa in cinema !

“Jackie Brown” Movie Review
“Jackie Brown” Plot Summary
A female flight attendant becomes a key figure in a plot between the police and an arms dealer. add synopsis
Personally, I find it to be Quentin Tarantino Masterpiece
Sometimes a movie requires more than one viewing. The first time I sat down to watch Jackie Brown, I wasn’t so impressed. I didn’t hate the movie, but I didn’t love it either. I thought it was decent. The second time I watched it, I knew the plot already so I really got to indulge in the characters of the film. And thats exactly what the film is, it’s a character piece
Those of you who expect an energetic, stylized, violent, comic book-esquire film like Pulp Fiction will not get that from this movie. Its a lot more tamed, and to say the least realistic. I love Pulp Fiction, its one of my all time favorite movies. But I doubt in the real world there would be two hit men in matching black and white suits. The scenarios of that movie, while fun and totally entertaining, aren’t too realistic. Jackie Brown on the other hand has totally real characters that don’t come off as too over the top
All the actors in the movie are superb
The lead is played by actress Pam Grier who nails the role. Tarantino again shows you don’t need an a-list actor to carry a movie. Grier plays Jackie Brown, an airline stuartess in her 40s. Samuel L. Jackson plays Ordell Robbie, a gun dealer who uses Jackie to bring him in money from Mexico. Robert DeNiro (in a smaller role for such a big actor) plays Louis, Ordell’s friend who recent got out of jail. Bridget Fonda plays Melanie, a ‘blonde haired surfer girl’ who lives with Ordell. Michael Keaton (my all time favorite actor)plays ATF agent Ray Nicollette who wants to take down Ordell. And Robert Forster plays Max Cherry, a bail bonds man. Without giving too much away, all of these characters in one way or another are all after $500,000 of Ordell’s money. Every character in this movie is great and unique in their own way. But for me, Robert Forster steals the show. Max Cherry is without a doubt my favorite character in all of Quentin Tarantino’s movies
To some people, this movie is just a crime/heist movie. But to me there is something quite beautiful to this movie. After a few viewings of the film, you will notice that underneath it all, this movie is really about two people. Jackie Brown and Max Cherry. Two people who are middle aged, lonely, and tired of their dead end jobs. Two people that meet in a very unlikely way. Two people that together figure out a way to steal $500,000 and get away with it. Take this movie however you want it. But to me, thats the heart of the movie, and thats why the movie works so well
In conclusion, Jackie Brown is not a graphic crime story like Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction that preceded it. Nor is it a stylized revenge saga like Kill Bill vol. 1 & 2 that followed it. Instead it is a stand alone film. A wonderfully acted character study. And for me, an absolute gem of a film. It’s Quentin Tarantino’s underrated MASTERPIECE.

“American Psycho” Movie Review
“American Psycho” Plot Summary
A wealthy New York investment banking executive hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies.
One of the greatest visions ever brought to us
Spoilers includedThis is not a slasher movie, indeed. It’s a very deep, strange and delicate moment in satire. While it’s serious, it’s ironic and ridiculous. Great stuff! Funniest and the most (yes I dare say it) brilliant satire I’ve ever seen. Christian Bale’s performance is unbelievable and if someone disagrees, they have to show me how to perform an emotional breakdown for 2 minutes on a phone. Just unbelievable. I’ve seen this 5 times now and it never gets boring. All the characters in Bateman’s world live in materialism, self-obsession, wealth and empty lives which is saved for last as the horrifying truth for Patrick. None cares for anyone. Many may think that when Bateman runs around with a chainsaw in the hallway, somebody would call the cops. But that’s theme of this film: None cares except if it has something do with themselves. Brilliant, simply brilliant. When Bateman sees this, he gives up hope, implying that he is not going to stop his frenzy until someone stops him (which happens in that embarrassing sequel which I’m never going to watch). Mary Harron’s masterpiece, Bale’s best performance (without an Oscar nod of course), at the same time one of the shortest, deepest, confusing, puzzling and mysterious satire films ever. One of the best. It’s a must see. My personal favourite. DON’T miss it if you can take some violence mixed in with irony and very black and bold humor
Solid 9/10
