    “Eyes Wide Shut” Movie Review

    “EWS” Plot Summary

    A New York City doctor, who is married to an art curator, pushes himself on a harrowing and dangerous night-long odyssey of sexual and moral discovery after his wife admits that she once almost cheated on him.

    Kubrick’s finest achievement

    One of the most under-rated films of the decade, Eyes Wide Shut is a brilliant masterpiece, from the very opening of the film to its very end. Kubrick succeeds in what many good filmmakers failed before him- and conveys a beautiful imagery of our state of dreams, full of sexual symbolism and other dream-like symbols (notice the stop signs in the streets in front of Tom Cruise), and creates a feeling of total wandering; although consistent, due to the fact that every scene and dialogue is vital and neccecary for the film’s development

    Moreover, Kubrick’s use of music is even more genius than always, and Ligeti’s motif from Musica Ricercarta shows us the repetitive nature of dreams, together with a feeling that we don’t know where to go next

    And of course there is a note of marriage life, men’s sexuality (and the attempt to deny women’s sexuality) and the very fine acting of Cruise and Kidman, which was a postlude of there own relationship

    For me, this is the finest, most perfect film of Kubrick, and therefore one of the best films of all. A must see! 10/10

    “88 Minutes” Movie Review

    “88: 88 Minutes” Plot Summary

    In Seattle, the successful forensic psychiatrist and college professor Jack Gramm is in evidence since…

    Frantic and exciting thriller with good performances from Al Pacino and his nemesis Neal McDonough

    Tense and suspenseful thriller film with a stunning race against time. This Hichcockian movie deals about a forensic psychologist and University professor with tortured past named Jack Grimm (Al Pacino ) who receives a phone call telling him which has only eighty eight minutes to live. Jack was witness on trail against serial killer Jon Foster (Neal McDonough)and influenced the tribunal to condemn him to death row. In narrow time he desperately seeks to communicate with a problematic student (Ben McKenzie,OC), his associate Shelby (Amy Brenneman), assistant (Alicia Witt), his friend and FBI agent(William Forsythe), a security guard (Brendan Fletcher) and University dean (Deborah Kara Unger). Meanwhile being pursued by a delinquent (Stephen Moyer) and besieged by numerous threatening cellular calls

    Gripping, original action movie with Al Pacino desperately trying to find the means avoid to be murdered. Acceptable thriller full of intrigue and tense, this is a fast-paced, stylized action-suspense film. The tension of this picture keeps snowballing as the clock ticks ever close for continuous killings. The tale appears to unfold in real time as the many on cellular calls will verify. Most unusual is the device of having the victim play desperado and hunt the killer, and saving himself, as time runs out. The flick is well filmed in Seattle, Washington State and Vancouver ,British Columbia , Canada. Casting is frankly magnificent, Al Pacino as tormented psychiatrist, unsettling when approaches his last minutes of life, though Neal McDonough takes honors as a psychopath who attempts to turn the tables on the victims before Pacino can save them. Plus, a good secondary cast, such as William Forsythe, Deborah Kara Unger, and Stephen Moyer, among them. Adequate musical score accompanying the action by Ed Shearmur and inventively photographed by Denis Lenoir, both of whom share his skills in the following John Avnet’s movie ?Righteous kill? also with Al Pacino and Trilby Glover who again plays a defense attorney. The motion picture is regularly directed by John Avnet because of it contains some gaps and flaws. Avnet is a nice director who achieved his greatest success with ?Fried green tomatoes? and ?Up close and personal? and failures as ?The war?. He directed and produced some hits, though today also making TV movies as the excellent ?The uprising ? and television episodes.

    “Deep Impact” Movie Review

    “Deep Impact” Plot Summary

    Unless a comet can be destroyed before colliding with Earth, only those allowed into shelters will survive. Which people will survive?

    Much more better than Armageddon

    I really loved this movie, I have seen it over ten times, since the first time I saw it on the cinemas, to each time I see it on television I must admit I’m really crazy about this film, Well if you want my comparison between this two films, the only point in which I find Armageddon better than this one is in the action scenes, but i find better Deep Impact in casting, writing, drama, character development, locations, story, drama, destruction scene (isn’t the scene of the giant wave going over New York City really memorable and a great movie moment?). I will tell you my favourite scenes and character, which must be the president, he really makes you believe that if the world was about to come to an end the president would be exactly like that. Instead of the Armageddon’s ’so the world is about to end, who cares?’ attitude of the people. Well call this commentary just another ‘Armageddon vs. Deep Impact’ comparison, but I really wanted to share this thoughts with all of you
