Daddy's Girl..

Advantages: Moving, Passionate,
Disadvantages: None

“I am Sam” is the moving story of a Father and the love for his daughter, and the challenges that he has in demonstrating his ability to be a ‘proper’ father to her, despite his own limitations.

Sam, played by Sean Penn, is a mentally retarded father struggling to bring up his daughter on his own in less than what are normally considered ideal circumstances. Bordering on obsessive compulsive, and autistic, Sam earns a meagre income ...
...Lucy Diamond Dawson, (Played by the adorable Dakota Fanning, together with her younger sister Elle) to work with him.

Despite all the odds, Sam seems to do relatively well at fatherhood, although his daughter sleeps in the same room in the hammock she had since birth and he relies on their agoraphobic neighbour to help him out in the motherhood department. There is no denying that the love between father and daughter is incredibly ... more

This is a wonderful choice!

Advantages: It has good morals and will hit your softspots
Disadvantages: eerrrrrrr.....

Well I gotta say this is one heck of a film! I don’t think I can think of anything that was wrong with it or made me think “Man, you just messed up the movie”. I think the issues that were dealt with were serious factors that do exist in society today and cause unhappiness to many people and, unfortunately, satisfaction to others. I enjoyed watching the characters in the film, especially Sam (Sean Penn) who never went wrong and knew how to conduct ...
...more than just a film. I can honestly say that all the characters in the film were inspirational and they all had something about them which contributed to the overall effect of mezmorization that a viewer encounters. CHARACTERS Sam Dawson – Sean Penn (Mystic River, 21 Grams) A forty-three year old, California born, Oscar winning actor who isn’t afraid to speak his mind, plays the beautifully innocent role of Sam. First watch Sean in Mystic River ...

Fried Eggs and Ham

Advantages: Good storyline and excellent acting
Disadvantages: You get wond up at the injustice

...against the legal system. I know this is a story, but how many children have been taken away from their loving parents just because the social services think they know what's best. Don't get me wrong, we need social services and we need them to be interested in the welfare of children, but they do make mistakes. The jacket of the film said it was going to be a tear jerker - I have to say I didn't cry, but I think it was because I was angry at the ...
...convincing. To be honest I had no idea he could act, I've always just looked on him as ex Mr Madonna! Michelle Pfeiffer was an excellent feisty lawyer and played the part well. I thoroughly recommend this film, it's a film I shall certainly watch a second if not third time. It's got it all - emotion, drama and an excellent storyline. I bought my DVD from Virgin in a 5 DVD's for £30 offer and it was certainly worth the money. Please note that this ...

YOU HAVE TO LOVE SAM

Advantages: A look in to the lives of disabled people
Disadvantages: a few slow moving parts

...us are unaware of. I found the scenes when SAM interacted with his friends delightful. I also appreciated the love they also had for Lucy and how much they were willing to go through to help Sam get her back. Dianne Wiest is great as “Annie”., the neighbor who has not left her home in over 20 years and goes to court to help SAM win back custody of Lucy. Laura Dern was also excellent in her role as “Randy”, the foster mother who wanted to adopt ...
...tearjerker. When I left the theater and went into the ladies room, I know which women has seen the movie also. The ones with the tears in their eyes. I just saw this movie again last night on DVD. I enjoyed it as much as I did when I saw it in the threatre and my opinion still remains the same. SEAN PENN definitely should have won the Oscar for Best Actor. He was incredible. Everyone should see this movie!! ...

People are just People - it's that simple

Advantages: Very evocative;; superb acting; wonderful story
Disadvantages: Ending is perhaps just a little too optomistic in today's society.

...story. For this reason alone I would say it is worth buying the soundtrack. The acting is superlative; Sean Penn perhaps gives us the best performance of his career and one that earns him an Oscar nomination. His portrayal of Sam shows us a combination of frustration and anger combined with a deep passion and love that transcends his inadequacies (or supposed inadequacies); his portrayal is simply perfect. Michelle Pfeiffer is also very good in ...
...have. One thing I gained from the movie was an appreciation that there really shouldn’t be any differentiation between ‘them’ and ‘us’! Society has placed labels on each of us and we need to break away from this and realize that people are just people. We each have our own inadequacies that do not have labels! To summarize this I would say that this is a ‘weepy’ movie – this isn’t only for women, ...

Merlin's magical Mystery tour

Advantages: great for everyone, good family entertainment
Disadvantages: It can be on a long time, lucky its in two parts

proves the point "never work with children". * The Magical Making of Merlin- scene index: * This is split up into four parts: The magic begins, The production, The cast, The myth. * The legend of Merlin: * An interesting (10 page read) into the myth of Merlin. Searching for the existence of King Arthur in history. In 6th century Britain was a King Arthur who had an advisor, a possible Merlin. Many scholars believing Merlin to have been a Druid priest. I found this section very interesting as I am a huge fan of Myths and legends. ************************ The actors ************************ "Spell bounding performances from an all-star international cast" (taken from the DVD) Merlin (Sam Neill) Queen Mab/Lady if the lake (Miranda Richardson) Frick (Martin short) Nimue (Isabella Rossellini) Lord Vortigern (Rutger ...
