Advantages: entertaining and thought provoking
Disadvantages: a little too truthful about human behaviour

I had never seen this film before last night and it touched a nerve with me about how human beings are and what they stand for. It is a film based in the 21st century and is about a time when robots are made to serve human needs, such as for doing menial tasks; and even sophisticated enough to be able to give sexul pleasure, although the one thing lacking in the creation of these robots is the mystery of love and all that goes with it: The inventor ...

He has no mallice, no conception of hate, although until he is imprinted or accepted by his parent; he is just a robot like any other: There is a ceremony which makes this child love, and the way in which the ceremony takes place is believeable and real all at the same ...

Advantages: Interesting story, good acting
Disadvantages: Too darn long

...documentary about this film and the life of Howard Hughes just before Christmas and thought it looked like an interesting film, although Leonardo di Caprio seemed like an odd choice for the main character. The length of the film also put me off. Then one evening with absolutely nothing to watch on TV, I got it out.

At the same time, Hughes was battling with mental illness - obsessive compulsive ... Read review

Samuel L Jackson is Coach Carter in this great (true story) basketball movie. He used to be one of the best players from his high school which is Richmond. He becomes the coach of Richmond; a team that is performing very badly, not only on the court but also in the classroom. Jackson is brilliant in this movie and he not only turns around the way that the boys play but he also does his upmost to change their lives for the better. He makes all the ...
...well as changing their lives for the better. He is very strict towards them and it is very nice to watch how the boys change both their playing styles and their attitudes towards violence and their education. This movie has it all, it's funny, sporty and emotional. I really enjoyed it and so will all basketball fans or those just looking for an inspirational story. It is a true story and a very good one at that. 136 minutes runtime. I think that ... Read review
