This name doesn't enter my list lightly. Sometimes it's hard to take the ones everybody fancies as serious actors. I think there are a few parts that Brad Pitt has taken that proves he wants to be taken as a serious actor.

Had absolutely no idea what this film was going to be about, but with so many recommendations I had to watch it.

My only complaint about this film, if any, would be that it was ever so slightly drawn out, however I'm not sure the desired effect would happen if it wasn't. The film itself reminded me of 'Crash' in the style of the filming, but not by content. The storyline is actually a very simple one, but very cleverly done.

I've seen many a sub-titled film, but not one that shows more than one language being spoken.

There was one particular part, I thought was especially good, when filming as if through the deaf girl's eyes.

VERDICT: A fantastic film, unlike any other storyline, give it a watch, I shouldn't think there would be many dissapointed with this one.

This sequel was absolutely awful. How can they get it so wrong, with the list of stars that appeared in this movie? Had to watch it in two parts from boredom and when it came to the 'Julia' scene, I just thought it was laughable

Sam Rockwell was mildy entertaining, but that really is the only good thing going for this film. I was shocked to see this film was only 109 minutes long, as it seemed as though it had been on for hours. It hasn?t quite made the ?awful? list and I would consider it ?watchable? if it hadn?t been so drawn out.

With part of the same cast as Lock, Stock and of course appearances by Brad Pitt and Benico Del Torro, this film shares the same principles of Lock, Stock, whilst raising the stakes. Themed with unlicensed fighting, this film takes you into a part of the criminal underworld, rarely shared. The characters are again developed well and intertwine nicely and comically.

Fight Club (1999,  R)
Fight Club 4.5 Stars
Fincher's 'Fight Club' rightly takes it's place in popular film history as a classic must see. It had many levels and layers to it and some impressive graphic and camerwork.

The twisted plot gives first time viewers unpredictability and multiple viewers a sense of familiarity even though I can still pick up on something different each time.

There is a certain sense beneath the chaso in this film and a sense of irony in trying to be an individual.

My favourite quote of the film: "It's only when we've lost everything, we are free to do anything'.

Meet Joe Black (1998,  PG-13)
Meet Joe Black 2.0 Stars
A truly bizarre notion and not one that seems plauseable in stretch of the imagination.

In my view Brad Pitt has two levels of acting; 'Pretty Boy Brad' and 'Scruffy Brad', he seems to do better in the latter, however, in the film we see Pretty.

It wasn't a total diasaster, but has more than it's fair share of bad points. Wasn't this film a box office flop?

At three hours long (and none to exciting ones at that), I feel I should give the film a good point too, which I think lies with Claire Felani.

Just my all time favourite film, another re-watch.

Even though it is an all star cast and each play great roles, the best performance in this film has to go to young Joseph Perrino.

A film of child abuse, corruption, religeon, domestic abuse.

The story is told in 2 parts, one as the 4 young boys going to a correctional facility for a prank that went horribly wrong and the second part, revenge.

In addition to this it is believed to be based on a true story

Not exactly what I thought this film would be, but having a spiritual side I enjoyed the journey and of course a view of the place I would love to see more than any place in the world.

Accent wise, not a great performance from Pitt, but the experience and story of the film are more important.

My favourite tragic romance film, I particularly enjoy the native Indian influence in this film. I can't say any more without giveing the plot away to those who haven't seen this film, but it's a great journey of three brothers, who are each unique.

Perhaps had I not had a teenage crush on Brad Pitt I may never have chosen to see this vampire film and it's proably the only vampire film I've ever watched.

Great plot, great costumes and some very funny lines from Tom Cruise. I fell in love with the story from the very first time I saw and must have watched it at least 5 times.

I'd actually forgotten I used to be a fan of Christian Slater, of course we don't seem to hear much of him now, but he and Patricia Arquette pull of this film as the main characters, accompanied of course by a strong cast of great actors. It's the ultimate story of love at first sight and of course romance. It has to be one of the funniest parts Brad Pitt has ever played.

I prefer Brad Pitt when he's playing more grotesque characters like this. Juliette Lewis is great in pretty much everything and the storyline is very good. If you like those Serial Killer films, you'll like this one

A story that's baswed on capital punishment for a miner.

Juliette Lewis, as ever plays a great role, accompanied by Brad Pitt, who in my opinion plays these type of parts very well, where he's not playing a pretty boy.

VERDICT: A though provoking film, enjoyable, definitely worth a watch

A film I surprisingly enjoyed, possibly because of my liking of the sport, but had a pretty good storyline too between the brothers. I'd expected this to be a 'look what Brad Pitt did before he was really famous type film.
