Remember the Titans
PG
This is my favorite sports movie. Based on true events dating back to 1971 in Alexandria, Virginia, T.C. Williams High school is one of the first in it's district to integrate their students. The hatred and tension is all around and intensifying as the football team sets an example for the rest of the school and the city as well. It's rough at first, but Coach finds a way to open their minds and their hearts to one another. Uniting the team to become the greatest & best in their division. It's an amazing & captivating film of acceptance, tolerance, respect, teamwork, brotherhood, and love. Superb.

American Teen
by scottwhat apears to be a documentary on a group of teens in warsaw a middle america town, but clues give it away this is actually actors or non actors, working under a loose script, or thought out actions before hand, but what ever it is, its entertaining, as we follow the kids through there last year of high school,and thinking about college, the highs and lows of high school life, the actors/real life people, whatever they are are genuin, and not like you see in hollywood movie, this is part of the charm as you watch the whinny kids go about there day, some are annoying, some just sad,and some,,bitches, all the events you get in hollywood highschool films make it in here, but with authenticity, if this is fiction of course, if not,ainteresting doc

Der Baader Meinhof Komplex
by scotta interesting look at a group of radicals during 1960s germany, protesting out against americas involvment in vietnam,and especially there ocupation in germany as bases for there preparation,what starts as protests to the streets turns into bombings and murder, they were germanys most wanted, the film with great detail takes us through a groups beginnings and getting in too deep, showing the 1960s through to the 70s where events became bigger and bigger, and inprisonment for most of the people, the story is well told, lots crammed in its two and a half hours, and lots of action, bombs being set of as part of there attack, all performances are good especially moritz bleibtreu,as the guy in control, another filmabout germanys past that isnt nazis and killing jews

Vicky Cristina Barcelona
by KevinQuite simply one of the best Woody Allen films I have ever set my eyes on! Thats saying alot,the guy is a movie legend. I would rank this up there with Annie Hall,which is often regarded as his best film.
First off I love how the movie opens up. The scene in the resurtant when Javier Bardem's character suggests that Vicky( Rebecca Hall) and Christina( Scarlett Johanson) should fly to Spain with him and perhaps going site seeing and afterwords "make love" I love how he was so causal about the whole situation and how appualed Vicky was by the suggestion. At the same time Christa embrasses the opportunity. That scene says so much about all three characters and sets up the story perfectly. You can defentitly tell that Allen has complete control over this film.
From there on you see the relationship unfold. It has a very seductive feel to it. So incredibly sexy and provocative these scenes are.Spain was the damn near perfect place to set this film,it really does a great job and seduces the viewer,very effective! It plays this very thin line on relationships. Just how long can a relationship last? How do you know if its meant to be? Can love be free or must it be contained. These are some very important and controversial issues that the film adresses.
As for the performances,well one might say that Penelope Cruz steals the movie. And you know what I think she does,however I was surprised that she didnt come into the movie until the fifty minute mark. It was also nice to see Javier Bardem play a more sane character. He has so much range in this film,through his facial expression one could tell that he had seduced these young girls. Scarlett Johansson didnt wow in this film,probualy the weakest link. Rebecca Hall though,she was in her element. With this and Frost Nixon she has had quite the breakout year.
Overall you cant go wrong with this sophisticated love story. For all you guys out there who might not give this film a chance because its a " chick flick",well shame on you.
Juan Antonio: Maria Elena used to say that only unfulfilled love can be romantic.Check out this sophisticated love story,with jaw droping performances.

Blood: The Last Vampire
by scottthis would get a nice 4 star rating, but two action sequences where a vampire monster atacks our two girls is awfully done the effects are really bad,and notwell executed, oncewas bad enough but when it came back, i was disgusted, the story it self is very stylish concerning a vampire good girl, exellently played by jeon ji-hyeon, killing for goverment spooks her fellow monster,whilewaiting for the showdown with the foe who kiled her father, some exellent fight scenes, throughout, full of samuri swordplay, jeon ji hyeon, loks great in her sailor outfit, giving a look thats maybe iconic,the film is wel directed giving the 1970s seting authenticity,especially army base school scenes, while the fight scenes, production looks great, also settingb up for more adventures, hopefully this will happen, as its based on a anime cartoon, theres lots of places to go, but please next time save some money for monster effects
apart from 2 scenes concerning a really badly done monster,this is pretty good

Sunshine Cleaning
by scottfrom the creatures of little miss sunshine, a filmsharing many elements,and of course the word sunshine, amy adams puts in another winning role, if a bit whinny, and alanarkin has good stuff in a role quite similer to his little miss sunshine performance, but yet again, its emily blunt, who steels the show, great to watch, both humorous and emotional, as the down on her luck sister. the story is enjoyable as they set off on there new venture, and situations great to watch,

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
by K JThis time around Michael Bay gives us plenty of explosions, average CGI and a decent plot buried beneath hot shots of Megan Fox and many sexual one liners. There is very, very little character development and the affection one felt for the autobots first time around is not built upon. Though the film is enjoyable and brings quite a few hilarious moments (dependent upon ones sense of humor), it lacks the emotional connection and 'cuteness' which was so audience friendly in the first one.
Unless you just want to see the 'bots' on the big screen, there's no other reason not to wait for the DVD....

Quarantine
by scotta quick remake of 2007 spanish film REC, relocated to los angelesl, a faithful remake keeping and capturing the original, from the handheld camera set up, to the location, its all faithfully retold, with some nice touches in extra scenes that although not adding anything vital, it is a little added scares. the acting although not as memorable as original, there all good, the only downside here being for fans of original, theres no shocks involved, thats how faithful i see it, andfor people who havent seen REC, and snobby about not wanting to watch subtitles, its okay for now, but seriously, check out the original
the american remake of spanish film REC,its pretty good and faithful

Into the Wild
by LadyA film that has completely blown me away on many levels.
A true story of a journey of self-discovery and search for identity, living a simplistic lifestyle, travelling a Nomadic adventure. A film of rebellion and anti-conformity.
This film is beautifully made in every sense of the word. The views of nature were captured in great detail, the acting was of high standard and very natural, the relationships between people and their relationships with the material world were completely in depth.
Excellent work here by Emile Hirsch who jusifyably portrayed this true life character's journey and of course Kudos to Sean Penn for the Screen play and Direction in this film and for choosing a project with such human insight.
Although a short role, it has to be said that the older guy in this film (whose name I can't seem to get at the moment) played a blinding role and a totally believable performance.
Inspirational, breathtaking, liberating and one hell of a life experience. The best film I have watched for a long time and this has instantly become one of my favourite films of all time. I shall now be buying the book..Hey, you should really see this!

Irreversible
by LadyTold in the tradition of that in "Memento" i.e the storyline is played backwards, the film opens with a very visually dark scene accompanied by a pretty bizarre sound (that's still running through my head!! ha ha), along with some very dizzy filming, the viewer isn't particularly aware of what is going on straight away, but within the first couple of scenes the storyline developes and of course you are intrigued to know, how it all began.
The married couple, Cassel and Bellucci are great together on screen in this unique, bizarre and very entertaining film. One scene in particular is very daring and controversial.
Another great performance from Cassel who seems to manage to express every emotion possible throughout the process of the film.Hey, you should really see this!

Full Metal Jacket
by LadyStanley Kubrick?s ?Full Metal Jacket? is one of the best war films made in my opinion. It?s very much a film of two parts, which I feel is the secret of the films' success. In the first part we see the training of the recruits, in the second we see them go to war, I've not seen any films from this genre that show both.
Admittedly I preferred the training part to the war part, but enjoyable throughout regardless. I felt Matthew Modine who played Joker was a great character in the film.
Many of the action shots of injury etc were very well done and apart from the colour of the blood were fairly realistic.
Glad I finally got around to watching this film, had many reviews for it and everyone else seems to have already watched it.Hey, you should really see this!

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
by Roland
I actually waited 4 hours to see this movie but it was worth it since i saw it on a Imax screen.It was loud and visually entertaining.My main problem with the movie was that when ever theres a fight scene i just cant make who is fighting who.Like for instance there was a huge battle at the ending but you couldnt tell the difference between the autobots and decepticons.
As for the humans,i still say that Megan Fox is way to pretty for Shia,they dont match as a couple.So all there lines just seem to me as bad acting especially at the ending.
Theres was a lot of more action and some intence fighting.far way better than the predecessor.But still they left out some characthers in the dark.A lot of predictible moments and some unnessecary jokes.In general it was a good movie.worth seing in the movie theatersHey, you should really see this!

The Last House on the Left
by scottive not seen wes cravens original 70s shocker, but it was good to see he had a producers hand in this remake, the hills have eyes turned out to be a great remake, and this is pretty good too, a great first act where we see 2 girls in danger, somehorrific and graphic scenes follow, then on to the house of the title,for some tense moments and squeemish moments, as the bad guys of the first act meet people in common with the girls. a well made film, when theres a lot of crap out there

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
by scott
okay sequel, some great effects on show,and action but also it all gets down to robots hitting each other, which gets a little tyresome at times and the plot, not that great, the score as in most of bays films is pretty dull which did get on my nerves, to much going on here
okay sequel, nothing special, probely better than the over rated dark knight though
