One great film, one decent film
Review of Dead Poets Society / Good Will Hunting DVD by
Raef86
Advantages: Both will stir your emotions
Disadvantages: Dead Poets Society is a bit cheesy in parts
...Will Hunting much higher than Dead Poets Society, but to get them together is a bargain, as they're both worth a watch [and then it's up to you whether to watch either of them ever again].
Both are emotionally involving, and both will surely appeal to Robin Williams' fans, as you get to see him in more serious roles while still engaging a little of his fast-paced humour. He's a very noble and likeable character in both films.
You'll definitely ... ...to break them down.
DEAD POETS SOCIETY
This film is a bit cornier, but with a positive message. I personally feel that the script and story is less believable, and that the film suffers a bit because of it.
Robin Williams plays a new English teacher in a high-profile private school, whose male students are pushed to their academic limits in order to be 'successful'.
His creative teaching methods soon lead the boys to question their lives more, ...

Gr8t Mile
Review of 8 Mile DVD by
sjp1966
Advantages: Story, Acting, Soundtrack
Disadvantages: Not for those that do not like hip-hop/rap
8 Mile
Movie:
Life has not been kind to Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith (Eminem). His pregnant girlfriend broke up with him and he gave her his car, although he finds out that she was just pretending. He has a dead end job in a car manufacturing plant and because he is homeless he has to move in with his mum and baby sister in a trailer park.
But B-Rabbit has a dream, he wants to be a rapper and we see him at the beginning of the film preparing for his ... ...is amazing.
Music of 8 Mile: This is just a static picture plug for the music CDs
Enimen Superman Video: I like the song, not sure about the video, its ok I guess.
Overall:
A superb film, well acted with a great soundtrack although not really one for people who are not fans of the man or the genre. © This review is entirely my own work but may have been cross posted elsewhere. MAY also be published under the name sjp1966 on Ciao UK and Ciao US ...

Watching this was a bit of a damp squib for me
Review of The Guardian DVD by
IzzyS
Advantages: Decent cast, the performances are good enough
Disadvantages: it dragged on a bit much, too cliched/cheesy, not enough action
...Guard rescue swimmer who, at the very start of the movie, tries valiantly to rescue a crew man from a large boat that had capsized in the middle of the ocean but to no avail.
Ben is a distinguished member of the US coast guard rescue team who is badly affected by what happened, given the fact he tried so hard to save the man. He's given two choices, after the event and as he reaches his 40th birthday - either let his boss sign the papers and have ... ...At first he laughs off the suggestion of being an instructor but then he reluctantly agrees and takes on a class of students, giving them tough training to become elite coast guards.
Out of all of the recruits, Jake Fischer is the most noticeable, for being quite cocky. It seems as if Jake is more selfish, caring about beating records and not so much about saving people or being a real team player.
Can Ben make Jake a true coast guard swimmer? ...

Absolutely Charming!
Review of Cave Of The Yellow Dog DVD by
zerbine28
Advantages: actors, landscape, story, direction, photography, pace.
Disadvantages: nil.
...deceptively simple yet beautiful 'The Cave of the Yellow Dog' will make many reconsider their lives, ones filled with materialism, albeit this has been true of western and westernized cultures for centuries. We are given a look into nomadic life of as practised by the real-life Batchuluu family of rural Mongolia, who go about their daily business while the cameras roll. Oh, watch this and surrender yourselves to the three little children, who will ... ...7, the youngest is over 2).
The eldest girl, Nansal, is away at school in the city until the summer months, when she returns to live with her family in their tent and their herd of sheep on the plains. She's what I'd call scary smart and mature for her years, yet remains a child with her playfulness and curiosity. Yet, one marvels at the tasks given her (and her younger sibling!) by her mother in order to help out while their father is away on business ...
