“Gone with the Wind” Movie Review
“Gone with the Wind” Plot Summary
American classic in which a manipulative woman and a roguish man carry on a turbulent love affair in the American south during the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Easy To See Why This Film Is The Best
What can one say? No matter how many times you’ve seen ‘Gone With The Wind’ it simply takes your breath away! The music, the technicolor, lovely Leigh in her most brilliant performance, roguish Gable, sensitive de Havilland and all of the others make it a must! It’s so true (and sad) that Hollywood doesn’t make films like this, anymore (which, is a real shame). ‘Gone With The Wind’ is certainly ‘the’ classic of all classics and just has to be the film seen by more people than any other film in the history of motion pictures. I’m sure that no matter where you go in life, people all over the world will know of ‘Gone With The Wind’ and will always regard it fondly as the most cherished of all Hollywood masterpieces!

“Silent Hill” Movie Review
“Silent Hill” Plot Summary
A woman goes in search for her daughter, within the confines of a strange, desolate town called Silent Hill. Based on the video game. add synopsis
Fans of the game will enjoy this film!
Fans of the game will enjoy this film. Critics should be impressed with the set design, effects and cinematography; but I’m afraid most of them will miss the boat entirely. As far as a game to film translation, this is one of the best ever made
There are scenes in the film that are direct recreations from the game. Sounds, music, colors and even meticulous set design that pays homage to the game series. In as far as a horror film, there were scenes in this movie that are incomparable. Really disturbing, solid moments of horror
Pyramid Head is this decade’s Pinhead. A new cultural icon to be feared, and loved
Good movie. Keep an open mind, and enjoy. This is one of those films that actually deserves its R rating. Don’t take the kids, unless you’re into the whole ‘terrible parent’ thing.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” Movie Review
“It’s a Wonderful Life” Plot Summary
An angel helps a compassionate but despairingly frustrated businessman by showing what life would have been like if he never existed.
The fable still holds up
I just re-watched this film with my family as an annual Christmas tradition (first time on DVD though). I have to say, despite the 10-11 times i’ve seen this, it still holds up with magnificent strength and emotion. The scenes where Bailey has ‘never been born’ with Clarence the angle and the triumphant concluding scene in Stewart’s house where all his friends come to his aid are famous beyond comparison, but still are mesmerizing and emotional. What often is overlooked is the mountain of great dialogue in this film. Barrymore and Stewart have so many great lines-’I'm and old man and most people hate me, but I don’t like them either’; ‘Oh, why don’t you stop annoying people!’; ‘Is it too much to ask that people can live their lives with a few nice rooms and a bath and not have to live in your slums? We need this run-down old building just so there can be somewhere people can go and not crawl to Potter.’ Jimmy Stewart gives one of THE performances of all time as the ultimate put-upon good guy George Bailey. All he wants to do is get out of Bedford Falls, travel the world and go to college. But, because of a string of coincidences and occurences where George puts others above himself, he ends up never leaving the town. Donna Reed is his loving wife Mary, who waits around for George to realize that he loves her. This situation leads to one of the most touching and romantic scenes on film, where as the plastic magnate Sam Wainwright talks to George and Mary on the same phone, they look into each other’s eyes and you see the what they truly feel for eachother. George grabs Mary, saying ‘I don’t wanna get married to anyone anywhere at anytime’, but he is cut off in the middle of his speech by the emotion, and they embrace. Rob Reiner claims he can’t watch or discuss this scene without tearing up. How Stewart and Reed didn’t win Oscars for this scene alone is unthinkable. Also, Lionel Barrymore is great as the evil Mr. Potter (with his wheelchair pilot/crony, Potter is the predecessor to everyone from the Beatles ‘Mean Mr. Mustard’ to Mr. Burns on ‘The Simpsons’)-who you believe is just a mean old man at the beginning, but then when he gives his final major speech to Stewart you realize what a twisted and cruel monster he truly is. The director, Frank Capra, must also be given credit when praising this film. He directs the actors and frames them in such a way that the true relationships and actions between them are so much more meaningful. He really knew what he was doing when making this film. The make-up and lighting department also successfully show the wear of 18 years on the principle actors-this movie takes place with the same actors from the period of 1928-1946, and Reed’s and Stewart’s make-up jobs are extremely convincing. Some great moments: The close-ups of Stewarts face when 1.) He lears if he doesn’t take over the Bailey Building and Loan, the board of trustees will vote with Potter and drive the institution out of business, and 2.) In the fantasy scenes, where he runs away from ‘Ma Bailey’s Boarding House’ and realizes that not even his own mother regognizes him. The speech Bailey gives condemning Mr. Potter after Pa Bailey’s death and Potter’s appeal to liquidate the Building and Loan. A young George Bailey reveals to the pharmacist Mr. Gower that because he was so grief-stricken over the death of his son that he put the wrong medicine in the wrong tablet, and the look from Gower when he realizes that if not for Bailey, he would have done a terrible, terrible thing (this moment always gives me goosebumps). The look of disgust and horror on Stewart’s face after shaking Potter’s hand after being offered a job, then wiping his hand on his jacket-symbolising his realization that if he had agreed to work for Potter, he would have been selling his soul to the devil. This scene is followed by the wonderfully tender moment between Stewart and Reed where he stares at her in the dark as she tells him she is pregnant. Capra’s greatest gift to the common man, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ still holds up beautifully. It is a morality tale with a timeless message that no man is poor who has friends. It’s the ultimate happy ending, and the ultimate Christmas story.

“Independence Day” Movie Review
“ID4″ Plot Summary
The aliens are coming and their goal is to invade and destroy. Fighting superior technology, Man’s best weapon is the will to survive.
Great sci-fi movie
Since it’s release in theaters 11 years ago, Independence Day has taken a lot heat. While I personally disagree that this movie is so horrible, it is easy to beat up the film seeing that its directed by one of the most boring directors of our time, Roland Emmerich
However, I believe this is his finest work. The first act is all about the build-up of the alien invasion and the attacks. This takes about fifty minutes, which also develops many (too many) characters and their places in the apocalypse
The attacks are good, but it is not unexpected. The special effects give it its credibility, and the second act begins the day after
In the wake of the devastation, mankind is limping on to survive, all main characters personally affected in someway by the attacks. While everybody does a good job bringing out the emotional side of the attacks, Will Smith is the only one that degrades this. After battling the aliens and failing, he has a close encounter with an alien and reacts unrealistically, punching it and sarcastically greeting it. Then he’s dragging it through the desert, screaming at it because he is missing a barbecue. HELLO?!? This is an alien race far superior to our own and it has single handedly brought mankind to its knees, and all he can do is yell at it for ruining his day? His performance is plausible but not his role. Thank God this is the only thing that I did not like in the second act
After Will Smith brings the alien to a secret alien research facility in Area 51, the doctors decide to perform an autopsy. The autopsy scene is a classic. It is probably the best sci-fi scene I have EVER seen. It could fit into a 50’s classic, and makes the movie so great
At the end of the second act, they finally figure out how to take down the alien’s shields and destroy their monster-sized spacecraft. This is where the lousy third act begins
July 4 is the opening of the third act, in which they round up as many pilots as possible. One is my least favorite character, a guy named Russell who claims he had been kidnapped by aliens 10 years earlier. The guy is lackadaisical cornball. He has one good line (Hello, boys. I’m back!!!!). All pilots around the world, including Russell will be in the ultimate battle. They will fight the alien ships while Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum plant a virus inside the mother ship. This is sadly the only interesting part of the third act, the rest of it from before being a cornball of cliches
The interior of the mother ship is so breathtaking, I actually found myself wishing somehow their ship would malfunction and they’d be stuck inside, forcing them to venture through the space frigate for about an hour in a style reminiscent to ‘Alien’. But seeing that the movie is already 2 1/2 hours, I guess they decided to not to
Jeff Goldblum’s and Will Smith’s chemistry work wonders while they’re in the mother ship, and every moment inside it is really good
The movie shortly ends after their departure from the mother ship, so it pretty much comes to a screeching halt. The world is still in ruins, and Emmerich leaves us to ponder how humanity will get back up
All in all, the movie manages perfectly for 81% of the movie. I would’ve given it a 9.0 if it weren’t for Will Smith’s comic relief in the second act, Russell, and mainly cliched third act. 8.1/10.

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” Plot Summary
Tells the story of Benjamin Button, a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences.
A great, worth film
This film is worthy of a 10/10 rating simply because of its imaginative and complex nature, I mean, I couldn’t bring myself to know why this simple idea of a man aging backwards hadn’t sprouted up before. Set all the way back at the end of the Great War, to New Orlean’s meeting with Hurricane Katrina, this movie tells the story of Benjamin Button, a baby born an old man of eighty, destined to die in the mere form of a zero-year-old. I found this movie very emotional and special because there’s reeally nothing like it. I honestly thought, when I found out the immense length of the film, it was going to be boring….I was wrong, it gripped me from start to finish. There are many emotional and touching scenes in it, including the end, where it brings forth Benjamin Button’s ‘younger’ years as an old man. Nothing went wrong with the cast, Brad Pitt played a great job as a reverse-aging man, and Cate went well as his childhood friend. Overall, this movie was great and I recommend it to anyone who loves the genre.

“The Santa Clause 2″ Movie Review
“SC2″ Plot Summary
Scott Calvin has been a humble Santa Claus for nearly ten years, but it might come to an end if he doesn’t find a Mrs. Claus.
This movie was great!
***** spoilers ahead! *****This movie had me laughing and moved me almost to tears a couple of times. There are some who have not given this movie a good review, don’t listen to them. Tim Allen was great, his co-star (what’s her name?) was great. This was an excellent feel good movie for the holidays. I liked it better than the first one. The thing with the reindeer talking by making noises was very funny. I also liked the parts with the other characters from legend… Mother nature, Tooth Fairy, Father Time etc. Go see this movie, you will not be wasting your time.

“Vanilla Sky” Movie Review
“Vanilla Sky” Plot Summary
A successful publisher finds his life taking a turn for the surreal after a car accident with a jaded lover.
great!
This film is really a great metaphor for the experience of spiritual enlightenment. It shows us how we can manipulate our surroundings and the way we view life using our memories. We can either create a wonderland or a nightmare. But the movie explains that neither of these lead to true fulfillment because we are only truly happy when we risk it all and really EXPERIENCE life. When we all want to live a real life all we need to do is stop thinking, open our eyes and LIVE. A great film i saw it after i had been reading a book on spiritual enlightenment and meditation and through this I was able to derive all these morals from it. :]
