Well another film review and another one with Dustin Hoffman and another one that won an academy award. Im reviewing the 1988 hit drama "Rain Man" starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. Hoffman's role for this film won him an academy award for best actor and it certainly deserved. Like most films that were made before my time I grew up watching them at a young age, my mum worked for a film marketing company and therefore I was always given a chance to watch all the new films, and some of the old one's. My brother who has seen Rain Man in the cinema, told me that's its one of those films that is an instant classic, it's just something that you would love.

Niki Caro director of "Whale Rider," does well. She was able to convince the Ngati Konohi Maori tribe, that she should be the one to adapt Maori book to the screen, despite the fact that she's a "pakeha" (a New Zealander of European descent). I’m not sure what "Whale Rider" suppose to be, an anthropological/sociological study of the Maori people or the universal story of female empowerment in traditional male society. Indeed, the book's author, Witi Ihimaera, said he wrote "Whale Rider" as a modern retelling of a Maori legend -- in response to his daughter's complaining about the boy always being the hero. Main protagonist is Pai a Maori girl of 13 whom feels that her destiny is to become the leader of her Maori tribe, a whale rider in order to please her grandfather. She’s not allowed learning warrior skills thought by her ...
