Disadvantages: none

The film’s rhythm is so ease, that after one and another detail, it has to show a strong atmosphere of family. Though the father and the son struggled with poor life,they never gave up,as they believed happyness came from the pursuit and efforts .I am moved by Will Smith's performance.

A mediocre war film

Advantages: Great special effects
Disadvantages: Doesn't stay true to the actual events, love story is way too sensationalised

The film was made on a budget of $151,000,000 and grossed an estimated $449,220,945 at the box office. Despite doing incredibly well at the box office this film bombed (no pun intended) with the critics, largely because of the sheer inaccuracy of the movie from everything to how the bombs drop to the lead characters taking down numerous ...

He has however been involved in some fantastic films (directing or producing) such as: Transformers 1 & 2, Bad Boys and Armageddon. Jerry Bruckheimer produces along with Michael Bay. Bruckheimer has been involved with: Enemy Of The State, Coyote Ugly, Black Hawk Down and Pirates Of The Caribbean. Ben Affleck and the gorgeous Josh Hartnett are of course the main stars of ...

Meet the lady behind the books - Miss Potter

Advantages: A nice story, interesting
Disadvantages: Some odd animation parts

...This time I got send Miss Potter. I had put this on my list as I was a fan of her books as a child. My sister had the whole little box set and I loved the stories.

The film was released in 2006 and has been available on DVD for a while now. The story of ...

Babel A film of great depth that stays on your mind

Advantages: Cleverly directed, well acted, interesting how the stories are connected
Disadvantages: A couple of sexual scenes which may unnerve the easily offended

...consequences that can have. Babel is therefore about more than just language or cultural barriers as it deals with the much deeper issue of the isolation of one human being from another, from the strangers we interact with in our daily lives, to our husband or wife, father or daughter.
