“Schindler’s List” Movie Review
“Schindler’s List” Plot Summary
Oskar Schindler uses Jews to start a factory in Poland during the war. He witnesses the horrors endured by the Jews, and starts to save them.
A film for all to see….and learn.
‘ I….pardon you.’These words spoken by Amon Goethe (Ralph Fiennes) during the film can be aptly used to signify the themes of this film: power and forgiveness
I am part of the post war generation who has been lucky enough not to experience any major war. And after watching this film, I have deep respect and feelings for those who suffered during these times, be it the Holocaust or the Nam war. This film was just waiting to be made and I’m glad it was the right man who dared to take up the challenge. Any other person would not have done it justice
The film focuses on how a German named Oskar Schindler saved the lives of thousands of Jews by employing them to work in his factory during WWII. However, I feel the film’s primary aim is not to show us Schindler’s kindness but the horrors of war. There are some of the most true and graphic scenes here ever captured on celluloid. People being shot for no particular reason, hiding in fear, stripped and gased, abused……so much so that viewers watching it for the 1st time will be deeply affected. We have never got to see this ‘flip side’ of the war in many Hollywood productions which only focuses on action and their unrealistic ‘gung-ho’ heroes. ( Another excellent film would be ‘Saving Pte Ryan’ by Spielberg again ) War and its horrors are finally and faithfully recreated for the audience
Like the film Raging Bull, its shot beautifully in black and white to reflect the era and tone of the film. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are excellent, esp the latter for his frightening protrayal of Amon Goethe. The scene where they discuss about power is a classic and the subsequent one where Amon ‘pardons’ a young jew remains as one of my many favs!

“The Thing” Movie Review
“The Thing” Plot Summary
Scientists in the Antarctic are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills.
Still my all time favorite sci-fi/horror!!!
The silly saying, ‘You can’t touch this’ surely applies here. With all the clone horror and sci-fi films coming out, along with all the inferior remakes, it’s hard to find anything worthy of 2 hours of your time. That’s why I always rely on the classics that scared the weewee out of me when I was a pre-teen
THE THING is, without an ounce of doubt in my mind, the goriest, ickiest, screechiest sci-fi horror classic that John Carpenter, or any other director (sorry, even you Mr. Spielberg) ever made. What really gives it power, though, is not the gore (it OOOOOZES of slime and blood and God knows what other fluids), but rather the sense of dread, isolation, and distrust it fosters in the characters and the viewer
You can’t get more remote than Antarctica, and in this howling, freezing white setting is where the story takes place. Several Americans, researchers and military men, are stationed there. One day, they witness a Siberian Husky dog running for dear life from gun-wielding Norwegians. Before they know it, the American outpost is battling a mysterious creature that can imitate any creature it wants. It may morph into disgusting slimy bloody shapes before it’s finished, but once it’s finished, if you didn’t see it in progress, you can’t tell it among humans or other normal Earth animals
Kurt Russell, Keith David, Wilford Brimley, Richard Masur, Donald Moffatt, TK Carter, Thomas Waites and Charles Hallahan are just a few of the fine cast. This film is the reason why horror CAN be a great genre. It actually STILL scares me. The alien blood ‘jumping’ out of the petri dish when the hot wire touches it still makes ME jump!!!Still the scariest of them all.
