Avatar (2009)
deserves Oscar
i saw this movie 1 week before posting this review and i can tell you if it wins the Oscar for best picture it will be the first time in years that the award will go to a film that actually deserves it.It had been 5 years since i went to a theater to see a movie because with the advent of dvds and big screen tvs i decided i would just watch movies at home however avatar must be watched in theater setting in order to appreciate the picture fully and that too 3d format. it shows the influence of other films such as pocahantas, and dances with wolves. this movie will also make history because it is the first non animated film where the computer graphics dominate the movie rather than any real actors . is this the future of film making?
The Holiday (2006)
the cross cultural aspect interested me
like most guys i'm not into romance flicks the only reason i first rented the movie was because i was interested in the cross cultural aspect of the movie. other than that the movie seemed rather mush. It seems to center around the tired old Hollywood story line of English guy meeting American gal and falling in love. of course in this film the English girl hitched up with an American guy but that aspect was glossed over it. the scene where grahams girls right away warmed up to amanda like she was a favorite aunt was unreal. normally kids are wary of adults they never met before. when i saw mr napkin it reminded me of the kkk. eli wallachs role was interesting especially comparing his role in this film to the bad guys he played in the spaghetti westerns. but all in all this ain't a movie i 'd add to my DVD collection
Hellfighters (1968)
only john wayne die hards will watch this movie
According to wikepedia the movie got ony a 13 percent approval rating if you are a die hard john wayne buff you will be interested in the movie. i recently saw it on AMC. If wayne was not in it i probably would'nt pay attention to it. this movie seems to be the first where a hero is fighting not against other men but against nature. this film seems like a prequel to Harrison Fords clear and present danger. It is also one of the few films where john wayne is cast in a 20th century situation. some viewers point out the machoism in the movie like his two police movies of the 70's ie brannigan and mcq, his characters are the descendents of the cowboys he plays in his western classics.
