“Rescue Dawn” Movie Review

“Rescue Dawn” Plot Summary

A US Fighter pilot’s epic struggle of survival after being shot down on a mission over Laos during the Vietnam War.

Best movie of the year

It really was the best movie I’ve seen all year- narrowly beating The Departed (VERY narrow indeed).

I saw this at the second showing, so I wasn’t there for Bale or Davies or Herzog, but the movie was obviously worth it. I am very eagerly anticipating its theatrical release. Oscar buzz is good for this so far, but I’m afraid with the release date set for early 2007 that might not happen

Herzog expertly adapted his documentary into a full-fledged narrative that is both thrilling and heartbreaking (Steve Zahn… How awesome). This is worth every penny you pay for the ticket

See it ASAP.

“Saving Private Ryan” Movie Review

“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 !

    “Twister” Movie Review

    “Twister” Plot Summary

    A couple on the point of divorce keep meeting each other because both are researchers who chase tornadoes.

    Great Movie.

    First off, I love this movie. I first saw it during the 2004 Hurricane Season. We were staying by ourselves in an empty church because Hurricane Charlie was set to bulls-eye our town. Instead of watching the Shining and giving in to the creeping feelings of cabin fever, though, I popped the movie into the VCR for the projector screen in the student room, and watched Twister, the sounds of the movie mixing with the sounds of the storm outside

    Also, another reason to like this movie: Thunderstorms rock. I was never one of those kids growing up who would cower under the bed when a T-Storm hit: Florida is, after all, the lightning capital of the world. Heck, we’d open up the window shades and enjoy the show. I also have a Grandma who would pamper us grandkids just like Aunt Mae. For me, there’s a lot of nostalgia riding on this film for me, and I won’t have any elitist snobs ruin it for me

    Honestly, if you’re going to watch Twister, watch it on a rainy day. A really rainy day. Makes all the difference.

    “Dogville” Movie Review

    “Dogville” Plot Summary

    A woman on the run from the mob is reluctantly accepted in a small Colorado town. In exchange, she agrees to work for them. As a search visits town, she finds out that their support has a price. Yet her dangerous secret is never far away…

    Hard to digest, but great.

    Tough. Once again Lars von Trier tortures the audience (as he did previously on Dancer in the Dark) by upraising the darkest side of the human being. From the beginning you know that things can only get worse, but I doubt that one can figure out neither what’s to come nor the powerful conclusion. Nicole Kidman’s interpretation is perfect – intense, poignant, passionate, you name it. She is fantastic and so is the small cast locked inside Dogville’s scenario (a wonderful creation – I wonder how something so simple can bring such a strong effect). Again, the entire cast is fantastic and for that goes an extra credit for Lars von Trier. His capability of pushing actors to the limit and extracting painful emotions from them creates a heavy atmosphere, full of tension and, at the same time, so familiar. It is not that Dogville represents the essence of our communities, but it exposes some aspects of our lives that we prefer to hide under the carpet.
