Amazing Movie!

Advantages: Its a good family film.
Disadvantages: Very old grammar, hard for children to understand at times.

I absolutely loved this movie! It completely captured the feel of the book "Sense and Sensibility." I was watching it with my 20 year old cousin, and even he enjoyed it, which was unusual! It was sort of a depressing movie at times, but overall outstanding. It is a great movie to watch with the family and may bring you to tears. The actors and actresses were all cast beautifully. I think that Kate Winslet is an excellent actress and played the role ...

...- Ludlow THE FILM When 'The Aviator', directed by Martin Scorsese, was fist released in 2004 I quite fancied watching it but just never got round to doing so. While ordering some books from Amazon I looked up the DVD and as it was only £1, I added it to my order. In retrospect - I'm glad that it was only £1!! The story follows around twenty tears in the life of the infamous, eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes from his making of his epic ...

Teenage bumps

Advantages: Witty, sweet
Disadvantages: Teenage sarcasm sometimes gets a bit too much

Sixteen year old Juno falls pregnant after one-time sex with her friend Bleeker. She considers the possibilities - having an abortion, having the baby or adoption, and decides on the latter. Along with her father, she pays a visit to an infertile couple, Vanessa and Paul, wanting to adopt, and decides that they are ideal for her baby, particularly as Paul's taste in music appeals to Juno. She decides to go ahead with the adoption, based on the premise ...
...as the pregnancy develops, and Juno gets to know Vanessa and Paul much better, could she change her mind and decide to keep the baby? Juno is played brilliantly by Ellen Page. Ellen really seems to embody a typical teenager, complete with sarcastic comments and, as so often happens, once she finds out she is pregnant, she does take responsibility and makes decisions about her future with remarkable maturity. At the same time, glimpses of the teenager ...

Review of Juno (DVD)

If you see one film in your life...this is it

Advantages: Gritty, dark and realistic.. you feel like you are there
Disadvantages: It is one of the few films I wished that could have been longer than three hours

There are some things in life you will always remember and I think this film is one of those things. I went to see it originally in the opening week of its cinematic release. I had heard about this film and was very interested to see it because I have a huge interest in the holocaust and what led to it happening. I knew before I went who some of the actors cast were and I also knew that it was a film lasting for three hours. The film gripped me lice ...
...lit...to it gradually changing into black and white. I was absorbed with the power of the nazis and the futility of existence for the Jews. What this film portrays so well is the need in capitalism for exploitation. The nazis, although intent on killing every jew, still believe that they should get the most out of them before they die. they feed them minimal calories and expect them to work round the clock, you hear them talking about this at different ...

Review of Schindler's List (DVD)

How high is the water Mama..............?

Advantages: A Fascinating Insight into Johnny Cash's Life
Disadvantages: I Can't Think of Any

...sent me a DVD Called, Walk the Line. James Mangold's movie tells many great stories of Cash's strange and interesting life. He has fused together several meetings, conversations and two autobiographies and the end result is an engaging account of the first part of Cash's life. The film begins at one of Cash's major concerts, the Folsom Prison gig in 1968 but within minutes we are whisked away to Arkansas in the year of 1944. Here we see JR as Cash ...
...is the emotional core of Walk the Line and the magical chemistry between both actors had me caring about what happened to them and wanting everything to work out okay through the years of tours and performances and of course, all the demons that went with their lifestyle. June was a very religious person and her roots were firmly planted in the Bible. Her beliefs and Cash's determination to discover his lost self are the two things that save his ...
