The Black Godfather (2019)
Interesting Life and Career
I was hooked within minutes of watching. I'm convinced the most interesting man in the world is really Clarence Avant.
Remember the Titans (2000)
The film of it's genre
This movie is a basic archetype for all other inspirational sports movies. Pride of the Yankees was good but this movie has everything that is an American film. Overcoming prejudice and uniting to become one of the greatest football stories ever told.
So many movies have followed the example of this one; Coach Carter, Glory Road, Gridiron Gang, Friday Night Lights, and more recently Pride. All are good in there own way but they seem almost redundant compared to Remember the Titans. Probably one of the best family films of all time and a movie that i have seen probably over a dozen times and can still seen over a dozen more.
MTV Unplugged: Nirvana (1993)
The Greastest live performance of any Band in history.
I was speechless when i first saw this. I had heard the album of the Unplugged show but i had never seen it. I have always been a big fan of Nirvana and I still believe that they are the greatest band that that have ever graced the earth. This shows that they are in fact worthy of that title.
Kurt Cobain sang his heart out and all the world watched. This show displayed all of his talents and all of his pain. This is the best "MTV Unplugged" and the best live performance of any band. I have already stated this but it's true. If you are a true Nirvana fan or you just have a deep understanding for music, this show put you in a state of awe. By the end you will have chills running down your spine and a few wells in your eyes.
Platoon (1986)
Most realistic War movie ever
This was one of the first DVD's I bought and i've probably only watched it a couple of times but that's a different story.
This is probably the most realistic war movie i have ever seen and i say this after viewing Saving Private Ryan and Glory. Its the realism that makes it what it is, I would bet anything that there are people liking SSgt. Barnes serving in the army. There are those who blame and exploit the "enemy" and those who don't believe in the fight. In my opinion it is Stone's best work along with Wall Street and Natural Born Killers.
Every time i hear part of the sound track from the movie i get a cold chill down my spine. It's the music that comes on as they leave that village. Over all it more than deserved to win a best picture Oscar.
The Green Mile (1999)
Amazing thought provoking film
I saw this movie on ABC one night when it was on which was a bad idea because they edit everything for language and time, which i hate, but i left it on because i automatically became interested in the story.
There are so many things in this movie that make you think; the injustice of the system, misuse of power, the evil all around, etc. I loved this movie. I can't stop saying it because it is just so great.
There is one scene in this movie which i think is extremely powerful and that is when John grabs Percy and releases all the "evil" into him, then Percy just walks all dazed until he sees Wild Bill Wharton in his cell making fun of him. Just 2 tears come out of Percy's eyes and he shoots and kills Bill.
My explanation does not do justice to that scene at all so just watch it
The Rules of Attraction (2002)
Saw the movie then read the book...
After i saw the movie, which i thought was pretty good. It stayed pretty close to the book but there were a lot of things that were different. The order of events, the character involvements, and a few deleted plot elements. Other than that it was alright.
The thing i really liked about the movie was how it was filmed. If you're a film buff or amateur director, this is a great movie to watch.
If you read the book, you'll notice that the graphic nature is really toned down in the movie. There is one part in the book thats in french that they don't have in the movie which is a pity because i really want to know what it means.
The Venture Bros. (2003)
Down right hilarious
One of the best animated shows on television along with the Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park. It's originality and humor make this show a hit . All the characters are awesome especially the villains and the husky voiced girlfriend of the monarch. There really isn't a solid story but thats kind of what makes the show such a success. Dr. Venture is a scientist after following in the footsteps of his world renowned father. He and his two sons live with Brock Samson a former secert agent and now their body guard and friend of the family. Dr. Venture's has many kooky enemies that really don't have any reason for wanting to harm him. It's never really clear why the monarch hates Dr. Venture but that doesn't really matter.The show is great check it out
