“Titanic” Movie Review
“Titanic” Plot Summary
Fictional romantic tale of a rich girl and poor boy who meet on the ill-fated voyage of the ‘unsinkable’ ship.
The triumph of contemporary tripe
The tragedy of the doomed ship Titanic has inspired many books and movies. The battle between nature and technology always caught man’s imagination. The latest film concerning this tragedy in the Atlantic Ocean was written and directed by famous action movie filmmaker James Cameron. The story of ‘Titanic’ involves two fictional characters (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) from different backgrounds (one is a hobo-artist, the other is an aristocrat) and how their love triumphs over societal barriers and the tragedy of a sinking ship that they happen to be on.
First of all, although using a historical name, this movie had little regard to history. The plot was built around two fictional lovers, French diamond, and treasure hunters. The deaths of over a thousand of people on the greatest luxury ship of its time became a mere background. Many historical facts were simply forgotten. Where was the radio operator that ignored the iceberg warnings? Why was there no mention of the ship that was only 5 miles away from the Titanic but did not come to the rescue because its captain failed to identify the distress signal? Omitting these facts is an insult to the tragedy. And what was the point of flavoring this historical disaster with fictional cheesy romance when the story is already as sad as it is.
The overall plot was rather shallow; rich equals greed and corruption, poverty equals compassion and heroism. It is very ironic to spend $200 million to make a movie about how money corrupts. There was absolutely no human side shown in anti-heroes. It seemed like Billy Zane was playing a part of the devil. Casting was also very poor. If DiCaprio was 2 inches shorter than Winslet, you could swear she was his baby-sitter. The length of the movie was unnecessarily stretched to over 3 hours. First hour and the half was wasted on establishing the relationships between the characters that were known to audience long before they went to theater and the dialogue that was used to do so made it even worse. Hearing corny pick up lines such as ‘I see you’ and ‘This is my side of the ship’ generated more pain than the screams of drowning people. Also, jokes were too abundant and rather lame.
‘Titanic’ did involve some moving scenes such as the part when the musicians were playing while the ship was sinking but they were no way near anything original. The best thing about this film were its special effects, and that is the only thing that truly deserved an award.
Although this film lacked artistical value in overall sense, the public could not resist a sentimental story starring Romeo (DiCaprio), and so the movie became a success. Now it is safe to say that the industry will be less hesitant to invest large amounts of money in a single motion picture, so it seems that ‘Titanic’ did achieve something after all.

“Gangs of New York” Movie Review
“Gangs of New York” Plot Summary
In 1863, Amsterdam Vallon returns to the Five Points area of New York City seeking revenge against Bill the Butcher, his father’s killer.
Gruesome, Yet Very Good!
When I saw this movie, I was both grossed out and amazed. It’s a beautiful movie. The cinematography is very well done, and the acting is very good, too. DiCaprio gives a very good performance, and Diaz strays beyond her usual ‘pretty-girl’ roll, and does it very well. Day-Lewis’s character is very dynamic and Henry Thomas does a very good performance as DiCaprio’s friend. Just a warning for those who haven’t seen this movie: if you don’t like to watch very bloody fight scenes or watch people die in some pretty uncomfortable ways, don’t see this. The movie is very rough and seems exaggerated. All the same, I like it a lot.

“The Aviator” Movie Review
“The Aviator” Plot Summary
A biopic depicting the early years of legendary director and aviator Howard Hughes’ career, from the late 1920s to the mid-1940s.
One of the best movies of the century
I only really like 3 movies, and this is one of them. I think this is an amazing movie. It was compelling, and captured my emotions within the first ten minutes. I just love everything about it-the story, the music, the acting, and the way it was filmed in general. Howard Hughes was such an amazing figure in history, and I think this movie captured the main sides of him, portraying him as the genius and billioniare that he was without leaving out or dwelling too much on what he became in his later years. If you haven’t seen this movie, you are missing out. I don’t know a lot about filming, but whoever directed this is probably one of the greatest directors of our time.

“Body of Lies” Movie Review
“Body of Lies” Plot Summary
Roger Ferris uncovers a lead on a major terrorist leader suspected to be operating out of Jordan.
The most entertaining CIA thriller of 2008.
Next to The Good Shepard(2006), Body of Lies is also a realistic look at the spy life. And you see it’s not the life that James Bond depicts it to be. I look the way it combines a thriller and the realism of the war. It was wonderfully well put together
A C.I.A. operative Roger Ferris(Leonardo Di Caprio) is on assignment in Jourdan in hopes to flush out a terrorist, Roger gets his orders from Ed Hoffman(Russell Crow) his cocky boss. But after things don’t go according to plan, Roger and Ed think up a new plan to flush out the terrorist. By making him think that somebody new is trying to muscle in on his territory. The stakes begin to get too high for Roger, and will this come crashing down on him?It was masterfully well directed by Sir Ridley Scott, he did every moment and angle perfectly. The way Sir Ridley Scott could do it so perfectly. Not to mention it was also brilliantly acted by Russell Crow and Leonardo Di Caprio. There are moments that will leave you bewildered and captivated.

“Catch Me If You Can” Movie Review
“Catch Me If You Can” Plot Summary
A true story about Frank Abagnale Jr. who, before his 19th birthday, successfully conned millions of dollars worth of checks as a Pan Am pilot, doctor, and legal prosecutor.
very entertaining
I watched this for the first time two years ago and it was a reminder of why Leo is an international cultural icon at a very young age. A lot of people claim it was because of his cute looks but this young fellow(unlike all pretty boys of Hollywood)oozes intangible charisma and charm, you couple that with a perfectly fit character and you get yourself a guaranteed winner(critically and financially). In this film,unlike Gangs of New York, Dicaprio gets to display a believable and much more interesting character than his character in GONY. not to mention that having Tom Hanks ALWAYS helps. Therefore, it was no surprise that this film made twice as much money as GONY. This movie had more fun scenes than 10 movies combined.

“Rocky Balboa” Movie Review
“Rocky 6″ Plot Summary
Rocky Balboa comes out of retirement to step into the ring for the last time and face the heavyweight champ Mason ‘The Line’ Dixon.
Best Movie of 2006 – Oscar worthy folks!
I hear talk of Leonardo DiCaprio possibly receiving an Oscar for his performance in Blood Diamond?! I apologize in advance for saying this, but come on…DiCaprio trying to put on the accent is not convincing whatsoever! What is convincing then, might you ask? Rocky Balboa, that’s what! Sylvester is the one that should be nominated for an Oscar folks. Sylvester put his heart and soul into this film, and it shows. One of the best movies that I have ever seen, in all honesty. I can’t think of one single bad thing to say about this film. I hope it does very well at the box office, because it deservedly should. Great script, great plot, great acting, wonderful surroundings/great camera shots & color of the city of Philly, the list could go on for days. $6? I would’ve paid twice that to see this film. I’m 27 years old, but no one is ever too old for Rocky Balboa. Wonderful closure to one of the best movie franchises in movie history, thank you Sylvester for everything that you’ve put into Rocky over the years. Hats off to you my friend

“The Departed” Movie Review
“The Departed” Plot Summary
Two men from opposite sides of the law are undercover within the Massachusetts State Police and the Irish mafia, but violence and bloodshed boil when discoveries are made, and the moles are dispatched to find out their enemy’s identities.
Exciting, writhing mole thriller
An enjoyable, pacy film. It’s let down a bit with rather rudimentary, unlovely filming and a Michael Mann-like unintelligibility in the way in which the script is delivered
But the performances are worth the price of a theatre ticket alone. Leonardo diCaprio is excellent, the equal of a striking Jack Nicholson. Ray Winstone’s accent is rubbish, but the rest of his performance is as good as the best. Matt Damon, Martin Sheen and (‘newcomer’) Vera Farmiga bring up a good seond tier of support acts… but Mark Wahlberg’s performance is as bad as his hair piece (yes, hair piece).
It’s also a peculiarly edited film. Sequences even as short as a few seconds can be made up of many different shots. Scorsese grafts the whole together with a carefully selected and dovetailed soundtrack. It’s a very fluid, even slippery way of pulling the film together, but it lends itself to the duplicitousness of characters and film alike. 7/10
