The Extra (2005)
Not worth it
The Extra is about a man seeking fame through acting. He wants to be an actor but can only secure roles as extras. He wants to dine with the ladies and get attention. Jimeoin is 'The Extra' as his name isn't mentioned throughout the whole movie. I understand the quote on all the billboards and things now... 'No one knew his name, they still don't'. The storyline isn't that great. It wasn't as interesting as I expected, especially with all the top notch Australian actors. (Rhys Muldoon, Shaun Micallef, Bob Franklin) I was hoping for a little more humour as it's called a 'Romantic/Comedy'. I think I only laughed about 2 times; when he kicks a door and it hits back into him, and Russell Gilbert, the cameraman and his crossed eyes. Last year I went to the filming of 'The Extra', as an extra, and I was excited to see the film. But honestly I thought it was a waste of time and money because it just got boring! Jimeoin's a funny man, I was expecting a lot more humour and it's not what I got. He was the writer of the story and I'll say that his ability to write movies isn't that crash-hot. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this as a good film to watch.
The Patriot (2000)
All time great
The Patriot is an emotional, action epic. Mel Gibson takes on the role of a war hero and a father in a great performance. His acting really gets you into the movie. Heath Ledger as Gabriel, also does very well. Gabriel is passionate about war and fighting for freedom and 'staying the course' for the cause. The whole movie has a whole lot of different features put into one amazing film. It tells of a fight for freedom, revenge and families under threat. It shows passion and emotion exactly how I would imagine the American Revolution would be. Jason Isaacs who plays Colonel Tavington is a very good villain. Like Gibson, he is so into the character that you almost believe that's who he is. Tom Wilkinson also does a very good job. Even though he isn't the bad guy because it was a fight for land he portrays the mean spirit in a General that just makes you want to hate him! Some parts just make you wanna cry, because as I said, it's a very emotional film but it really is what it is, a story about patriotism. It might be too much blood for some people, but the reality of it is that that's what really happened. Wars were not nice things, and I really enjoyed the movie and how realistic they made it. This is one of my favorite's movies, it's legendary and it's a classic.
Aladdin (1992)
a classic!
Aladdin is an absolute classic movie. The voices are just right for the characters and Robin Williams adds so much character to the Genie. i recently got the special edition DVD and it was even more excellent than the first time I saw it! You never get tired of the movie and the DVD definitely makes it worth while. If you're thinking of buying the DVD, don't hesitate. It's worth it because it has so many special features over 2 hours! maybe even more! It's one of the best Disney movies. The music is really good and even though the storyline is a bit predictable, it's still a lovable movie. It's great for adults and kids and its funny so its a good all rounder. If you have never seen 'Aladdin' you are missing out! It's one of the best non-3D animated movies by far!!
