Flags of Our Fathers (2006)
Since I’ve been out of the Navy, I’ve picked up a certain reverance and curiosity for what Tom Brokaw dubbed “The Greatest Nation”. That being said, I read the book this movie is based on back in 2002 and then RE-read it about a year ago. Yes, it IS that good.
What I find appealing about […]
Click (2006)
It’s very difficult to write this review. I really, truly enjoyed the movie. Let’s get THAT out of the way. Bottom line is that YES I did enjoy the movie. I even was choked up in several places. As far as emotions go, this movie did a great job of tugging on the strings when […]
Signs (2002)
I have to be honest here. I really don’t care much for M Night Shyamalan’s movies. I hated The Sixth Sense with a passion (I thought that Stir Of Echoes was a better film, around that same time), and was even more angry at Unbreakable. Both of those movies were completely overrated, in my opinion. […]
Hard Candy (2005)
Never one to shy away from “uncomfortable” subject matter, I added this to our Blockbuster online qeue a month or so back.
Billed as a “drama/thriller”, the film centers around a young 14 year old girl named Hailey and the man, Jeff, she has been talking to online. A professional photographer, they set up an appointment […]
Derailed (2005)
In the interests of not violating any possible copyrights, I went out and googled the term “when bad movies happen to good actors” before I started into this. I really thought I was onto something with the term. I mean, I actually chuckled to myself and thought “boy I can’t wait to put THAT in […]
Vanilla Sky (2001)
Cameron Crowe is, by far, one of my favorite writer/directors. He creates characters that, to me, feel like “real” people. Although his screenplays are full of witty banter, he also gives said characters alot of dialogue that we the moviegoers can relate to. I like that quite a bit. I think that this associating with […]
The Colony (1995)
Does unemployment suck? Yes, it most certainly does. Are there perks though? Yep, there’s those too. One perk of mine would be to watch made-for-television movies in my under-roos. I set out on a mission yesterday. After perusing the job sites, I decided to watch a drama movie that I had never seen before, using […]
United 93 (2006)
It’s been so long since I’ve sat down and actually gathered my thoughts together and directed them into a movie review that I’m not even sure where to start. Watching Paul Greengrass’ United 93 last night, the only thing I could think of was my need to get my thoughts out on paper, though. If […]
