“Raging Bull” Movie Review

“Raging Bull” Plot Summary

An emotionally self-destructive boxer’s journey through life, as the violence and temper that leads him to the top in the ring, destroys his life outside it.

Incredible acting

‘Raging Bull’ is a masterpiece of filmmaking. It is entertaining, but to me, it is more of a technical movie than an entertaining movie

The acting is undescribable. Some terrific performances are featured in this film, especially Robert De Niro’s performance, which is the stuff of legends. It was probably one of the most predictable Academy Awards ever that year, because Robert De Niro just blew everyone else away. Joe Pesci brings us another amazing performance. Martin Scorsese’s directing is near perfect, and we are treated to great black and white cinematography. Basically everything about this movie had ‘OSCAR’ stamped on its forehead

Although ‘Raging Bull’ is, in a technical sense, one of the greatest movies ever made, it fails to entertain on all levels. There are many moments in the movie that are incredibly entertaining, however, there are some moments where it just seems to be too slow-paced. I am usually all for slow-paced movies, as it helps to build up the plot and the characters, but I feel that ‘Raging Bull’ could have been cut short 15 or 20 minutes and it would have been more entertaining, and still just as great when it comes to all the technical aspects

Sum-up: If you are looking for some of the best acting you will ever see, look no further than ‘Raging Bull.’ If you want entertainment, you will find it in ‘Raging Bull’, but it probably won’t be as much entertainment as you want.

“Evan Almighty” Movie Review

“Evan Almighty” Plot Summary

God contacts Congressman Evan Baxter and tells him to build an ark in preparation for a great flood. add synopsis

Good kids movie

Having read before all those negative comments, I was rather skeptical about EA, but while watching I realized that one should have taken this movie just for what it really was. It’s not a comedy (from an adult perspective, that is), and it’s not a sequel to ‘Bruce Almighty’. What a huge mistake to bill it as a sequel to that different kind of a film! Evan could have been anybody here, and the plot has nothing really in common with BA. And why is Evan almighty, by the way? Totally wrong title

OK, so EA is a children movie, and surprisingly a rather good one. It may look predictable and plain to grown-ups, but for a child it would be awesome. And not only due to the special effects and those stupendous trained animals. The simple, straightforward messages about ‘acts of random kindness’, family values, and faith work very well in many instances. Of, course, grumpy old men may rant about Evan’s easy chatting with God, about the wife abandoning him first and with no care for medical help, about the hordes of animals gathering around him only in some inappropriate moments, or about the under-exploited talents of Lauren Graham, Wanda Sykes and John Goodman

And now let me put in my own joke (for the adult viewers let down by the lack of real humor in EA). It looks like these days we need God’s direct intervention, a flooding and an ark to impeach a malevolent congressman.

“Sleepless in Seattle” Plot Summary

A recently-widowed man’s son calls a radio talk show in an attempt to find his father a partner.

A true romance

I love this movie! Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are absolutely charming together.

They are both very talented people, and they create fantastic screen magic! This is a film for not only every hopeless romantic, but also anyone who wants to see a great film. It tugs at your heart-strings and brings tears to your eyes every time. I give it a 9 out of 10!!
