Fun, funny, sad, great natural dialogue. The attitude the Julie Delpy has towards her country men is enlightening. In this film, all french men are cads that do nothing more than think about sex. Her American boyfriend is a sarcastic, bitter, whiner of a man. Yet he is far more lovable than any of the [...]

Charlie Wilson’s War (2007) [HD]
December 1st, 2008 · No Comments
Philip Seymour Hoffman made this movie for me. He was hilarious, cynical and yet obviously someone that could get things done. The first seen between he and Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) in the congressman’s office had such great timing and interaction. You really don’t get enough scenes like that in movies, especially ones that really [...]

A great film with amazing internal and external dialogue. I loved the play with the camera. You never saw Jean-Do until he made the decision to live. Prior to [...]

A brutal, yet great bit of story telling. The Russian mob at its most unethical operating in London. Underage prostitutes, rape, babies, human trafficking, killings in back rooms and an undercover agent. Who knew that a tattoo could tell so much more than you were drunk at a frat party and thought getting a tramp [...]

I didn’t expect a movie about Auschwitz to be upbeat, but this was a very hard watch. Great acting, great story about the jews that worked for the Nazis in the camp trying to give themselves a few extra months to live and thier revolt that destroyed 2 of the incinerators. The sacrifices they made [...]
