TRUE

It is so dark and troubling. This film is worth a viewing by every parent of teenage children. It is not an easy movie to stomach as it is filled with heavy handed youth doom,addled by drugs and alcohol and sex.This gem is based on the novel by Jim Schutze "Bully: A True Story of High School Revenge.

Stylish and hard edged drama. Depp played The role of George Jung very well

I did not see Charlize Theron, instead I saw Aileen Wuornos. I was disturbed and yet completely riveted with this movie. Aileen is a serial killer, a ruined soul and yet you would end up feeling sympathetic. It's depressing engaging, engrossing, and realistic. After that, I needed a silly comedy to lighten up.

Not an Oscar winning script but Jared Leto delivered. The massive weight gain, the Georgian accent and the creepy mannerism was so convincing. This film gives an insight into the killer's mind

Fine performances from Bassett and Fishbourne. Powerful and an engaging storyline

An experience of a movie so touching, it s worth having. Happiness is very fleeting, treasure it. Wow!!!Will n Jaden Smith

The evil and insanity of the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin so marvelously acted by Forest W. is simply chilling. It was amazing to see him able to immersed himself so well with the character. He scared me!! On a lighter note:Beautiful Ugandan scenery.

An exceptionally good POW movie about the survival of Dieter Dengler. Impressive performance from comedian Steve Zahn n Bale was brilliant . Lost 55 pounds for that role!!!

I truly enjoyed this historical and political drama set during the WW2. A fine effort from Bryan Singer for directing the true events involving a group of Nazi's plot to kill Hitler and call the plot Valkyrie. Ignore the negative reviews surrounding this film and judge it for yourself.

An accurate war drama that centers what transpired in Mogadishu. No sugar coating, no love story but brutal battle scenes and the gruesome reality of war. One of my faves from Ridley Scott.

Excellent potrayal of Teena Brandon by Swank. Brutal and honest....

This is based on a true story of at-risk students attending Woodrow Wilson High in Long Beach. Hilary Swank is luminous as the school teacher Erin Gruwell, fondly called by her students as Mrs G. A truly moving film with brilliant storyline.

What an amazing historical piece! My regret was not being able to watch this earlier. This film is about the fight of William Wilberforce to abolish British slavery in the early 18th Century. Ioan Gruffudd as Wilberforce is believable, complimented by an amazing casts like Albert Finney.The beautiful song Amazing Grace has long been one of my favorite songs, hearing and singing it in church during my younger years.

Tagline - from the ashes we rose. A truly moving film based on true and such tragic events. Its not just a sports story, this tale inspires and it is extremely uplifting. How to rise above the ashes and move forward as the tagline said.

Oscar worthy. Great actors, powerful and inspirational storyJames Franco is sensational as the one, great, romantic love interest of Harvey Milk.

mediocre.

Brilliant director and actor,Mel Gibson. A movie that one never cease to be amazed, truly majestic

One of the biggest surprise in this movie is : Justin Timberlake can act. Its a disturbing crime drama. Nick Cassavetes gave good direction here

Its not as captivating as the 1st. Something is amiss in its direction however Cate's acting is still intriguing as the Virgin Queen.

Marion Cotillard is luminous in this role. Deserved an oscar for that. It s a very depressing n overwhelmingly sad movie. One of the best biopic so far.

Clint Eastwood behind the camera? Do not miss it. Jolie gives a convincing portrayal of a mother who returns home from work to find that her son Walter is missing. She calls the police and, after enduring a grueling 24 hours, they search for her son. But the boy they return 5 mths later to her is not her son. A gem of a period piece not to be missed.

A fantastic anti war movie, perfect cast. Another one of Haggis 's not to be missed masterpiece after Crash

A wonderful inspirational movie with superbly choreographed dance sequences. Banderas looks and moves beautifully.

History is made by those who break the rules - tagline. A true story of the first black US Navy diver and the obstacles he faced in attaining his certification at the hands of a racist Master diver. A great story that fills one with pride and determination.

Absolutely fantastic and provoking piece on heroism and war-propaganda.Masterful direction from Eastwood.

Dr. Haing S Ngor dominates this movie. Apparently he had never acted before. It tells the true story of Dith Pran, played by Cambodian survivor Haing S. Ngor, and his journey to escape the Khmer Rouge death camps which is an awful moment in human history. A movie that it is not easy to watch. Brutal and honest , the scene at the French embassy was the hardest to bear. My only gripe was that during certain scenes, the translation was poor some subtitles would have been much appreciated

Such a powerful historical drama. A true account of a hotel manager, Paul Rusesabagina who gave sanctuary and saved the lives of 1,200 people in the hotel he is working despite the danger to himself and his family.
This is a time when a million members of the Tutsi tribe were killed by members of the Hutu tribe in a massacre.Don Cheadle's performance is extraordinary here.An excellent fiction based on real moments and this film is rated as one of the most 100 inspirational films of all time.

Brutal and violent gang life in Rio De Janeiro. Crime and drugs are a norm with young kids toting guns in this notorious slum. Easily one of the best, fiercest foreign films I have seen. Gangster films always seem to make for good dramas. My only problem was I happen to purchase this DVD in Germany, there were only 2 subtitles and 1 dubbing available, German and Portugese. I wish I had paid more attention during my German class!

A true and inspirational story during the nightmarish Holocaust. Expect no less from director Edward Zwick who directed The last Samurai,Blood Diamond and Legends of the Fall. The story tells the survival of the three Bielski brothers during the Nazis occupation. It tells the story of the Fighting Jews. Daniel Craig held his own here. Although at times he has a tendency to lapse into his British accent. Liev Schreiber is always excellent. A film thats engaging from beginning till the end. Indeed it is one of the better movies of 2008.

It is always a pleasure watching this film again. I truly enjoy Robin Williams's full-frontal comic intelligence. He is indeed a gifted chameleon, he could impesonate almost any character and makes viewers laughs. This one is a real treat after watching somber films about Vietnam, such as Platoon and Hamburger Hill. It is an uplifting film. It is loosely based on the true story of Adrian Cronauer, an air force radio DJ who was transferred to Vietnam.

Based on a true story. Every one of the actors here is a gem in this movie. I got so caught up with the characters.The games scenes are also one of the best parts. It is sometimes difficult to watch the bone-crushing battles on the football field, Peter Berg captured every essence of the players very well. The personal pain, the joy and the pressure to succeed where football is everything in a little town called Odessa in Texas. The obsessive desire to win at almost any cost.

Part of me loved the film, the other part of me is wary of it. The scenery from the Alaskan wilderness is breathtaking, the phenomenal acting from Hirsh, the direction from Sean Penn, its marvelous. At times,I envy the true freedom that Christopher McCandless experience in the course of his adventures. Now comes the wary part. Being a parent myself, I wouldnt want my kid to give up on his career, family, everyone who loves him, just about everything to go trekking into the wild. It is hard to see how his parents especially his mother suffers and endures the pain of not knowing where her son may be. Christopher strikes me as immature and selfish, a boy who made the wrong decision and when he realised that, it was too late.

Curious about Denzel 's directing debut and he starred in it as well, I decided to watch this. It is from an adaption of the book Finding Fish, based on the remarkable true memoirs of Antwone Fisher. This is truly a heartfelt story,the story of obstacles overcome. with impressive acting from Derek Luke. It is extremely difficult to remain dry eyed for long. A movie that I will not forget easily and a salute is in order.

Page performance is as heartbreaking as any victim, it is so hard to watch, to stomach the abuse being done to her. Keener is also exceptionally good as Gertrude, makes me loathed so much, I could truly kill her. This no fictional story, a true hideous crime comitted in the 1960s

Based on true events.It was Vietnam, 1969, Hill 937, 10 days, 70 percent casualties. New recruits were sent on a suicide mission to capture the insignificant and well-protected Hamburger Hill.
Brutal and very bloody but downright realistic too.It is not as high-budgeted, as Platoon and Full Metal Jacket but just as deserving in credits.

Kate B is a very good actress, so good that I admire and despise her character here. Watching her performance throughout the movie, at first I rooted for her, felt her pain, admired her integrity but later despised her for putting innocent lives in danger in order to protect her source and stand by her integrity. Jeopardising her marriage and her relationship with her young son. The plot loosely incorporates the real-life drama of former CIA agent Valerie Plame and New York Times writer Judith Miller (who served 85 days in jail on the same charges). A brilliantly provocative film I must say.

Absolutely riveting from start till end! Did not expect such good and memorable work from Stuart Townsend debut. It is interesting that he mixed actual footage supplied by Seattle television stations during the 1999 five days long riots with his direction, There s an impressive cast of talented actors here, including Martin Henderson, Michelle Rodriguez, Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Carpenter, Andre Benjamin, Ray Liotta, Connie Nielsen, Channing Tatum and Townsend's partner, Charlize Theron. This film creates awareness for one who s not familiar with the cause of the protestors during the WTO s convention. An interesting line from the movie: Mayor Tobin requests that protesters be tough on the issues but gentle on his town. Proof that anything sounds possible as long as politicians can find a clever way to say it.

A true story of the Newton brothers, who are regarded as the most successful bank robbers in the history of the United States. Takes place sometime the early roaring 1920s.The film smells distinctly of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Oh well, women, girls are going to love this. All 4 Texan Newton brothers were played by bright eyes wonders McConaughey ,Hawke,D'Onofrio and Ulrich and they are pleasing to the eyes. Might cringed at some of the most stupefying antics of the bankrobbing scenes. Overall an average but not a great movie.

Before this movie,I had no idea who she was. This is a beautiful biopic telling the true-story of Selena Quintanilla-Perez, a talented young Mexican singer. JLO 's portrayal of Selena was amazing she hits all the right chords. The Latin songs and dancing were fantastic.

Beautifully written and acted by the casts. Brilliant scenery and costumes. James McAvoy was fantastically intense as Tom Lefroy

A true story with a slow plot that builds up to a crescendo of excitement. Superbly realistic n the script is acute as pin.

great direction from Tony Bill. Entertaining and uplifting
