Check out my website: millerfilm.com. I love all kinds of movies. My favorites are science fiction, drama, action and adventure. You will see that many of my favorite films are from the 70's. This is when I became a film fan! Last summer, I completed two Cinematography Courses at the International Film & Television Workshops in Rockport, Maine. I took the Film Cinematography and Film and HD Camera Assistant Workshops. It was great to work with both the Arri and Panavision cameras. I am currently in pre-production on my first feature documentary. I will be working in HD and hopefully some film! Stay tuned. My Production Company is millerfim, on the web at millerfilm.com. |

All the President's Men

The best docu-drama ever! Perfectly captures the pursuit of truth in the face of overwhelming odds.

Black Sunday

The best thriller ever! John Frankenheimer winds up the tension to the final frame. Great John Williams score.

Capricorn One

One of the all-time great thrillers. Consiracy fans will love this deeply paranoid film. Peter Hyam's best with an impressive Jerry Goldsmith score!

Home Movie
by HenrikFascinating documentary depicitng lives of peope who have a 'special' and unusual way of creating their immediate home. Be at the man living on a boat in the everglades, the cat family or the kooky inventor who plans to be reborn in a humanoid robot he built.
An entertaining, yet enlighting view of how people are able to construct their lives according to their own beliefs and imaginations.Hey, you should really see this! A great pandeamonium of weird folks and their homes, as they constructed it, both in their imagination and in practice. Living on a houseboat in the Everglades anyone ? Or maybe you rather plan to be reborn in the humanoid robot you just built ? Go see find out for yourself !

Baby Bible Bashers
by HenrikA great documentary dealing with children who are 'disciples' of God. I am putting it that way because the movie examines carefully in which ways parents drive and force their children into fundamentalistic labour in the name of the Lord. A seven year old, who gets spanked if he disobeys and preaches in front of abortion clinic, an African-American child that is filling the churches by the thousands while his dad filss his pocket with money and a young, tiny girl who decided to sleep in her father's bed until she gets married and whose father is choreographing her preachings.
A shocking movie that is even more hard to digest due to the fact that you can't help but feel sorry for the children and furious at their parents.
This documentarty is highly recommended both in terms of contents as well as visual aesthetic and the necessary journalistic distance.Hey, you should really see this! A insanely shocking but very contemporary documentary on children raised to be preachers of fundementalist Christiany.

Awakenings
by HenrikHard to digest, yet very warm and full of melancholic beauty at times. Robert De Niro's performance alone make this movie worthwhile. As does the solid acting by Robin Wlliiams and the hand-picked rest of the cast. The movie is very tragic and the ending is not much of a happy end (dont want to spoil it), but that makes it even more likeable. It respects his characters and is, after all, based on a true story (Actually, it is based on a non-fiction book by Oliver Sacks, M.D. which is a good read btw.) So, I do recommend this movie, especially if you are a fan of Williams and/or De Niro.
H.Hey, you should really see this! Tragic Drama with lots of melancholic warmth in it. A stellar lead and good supporting cast make this very enjoyable.

Michael Clayton
by SpiderAs a fan of Clooney generally, and Tony Gilroy's skillfull manipulation of the Bourne reboot, I was eager to see this film and it is a feast for drama fans. The cast is excellent; Clooney's self-destructive, world weary protagonist is a nice mirror of his Three Kings role earlier in his career; Swinton is, as always, excellent and highly watchable; and Wilkinson lends his likeable theatrics to another of his larger-than-life characters. Gilroy's direction is good also, the tight underplayed dialogue full of meaningful glances and cutaways, although the films pacing is a little meandering and the flashback format is ultimately unnecessary. It's a shame then, that the film feels so hollow throughout and even the titular character's victory doesn't seem to satisfy him all that much in the same way that it doesn't satisfy the audience. There's never any doubt in your mind that Clooney will come out on top from the outset, but the road travelled to that victiory should be more gripping and the revelation that corporations are greedy thug-like entities that will stop at nothing to get their way is not news in today's climate. On the whole, the film is very enjoyable but should be so much more, justifying all those Oscar nominations, and feels a little like it was made ten years too late, losing any of it's shock value.

Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne (Ladies of the Park)
by HenrikA haunting French film noire, which could easily be responsible for coining the phrase femme fatale. Maria Cesares is brilliant portrating the plotting spider who weaves the web around the men she loves and the women she despises to lure them into a fatal liason. The dialogue is very lyrical and the emotions (particulary the ending) ooze with vivid tearjerks, this movie from France after all. This movie is also remarkably raunchy for 46 showing some decent amount of underwear and skin, which makes this movie both a classic and a dare. If you have any affinity with film noir or French cinema at all this movie is highly recommended and it might serve as a good introduction to French Cinema for you if you have not been confronted with it yet.
Go fetch it and tell me what you think of it !
HenrikFrench Cinema Noire at its best. A haunting female lead and solid direction make this a claustrophobic crawl into the dark rifts of the human mind, struggling to find the place between love and hate ! H.

Dear Wendy
by HenrikWhat an extraordinary imaginative and well directed movie that was. The story is about a gang of boys, led by the somewhat off-beatish boy Dick who form a gang called the "Dandies", a secret society obsessed with classic marksmanship and honor codes. The movie adressess many issues on a very subtle and beautifully mellow level. The question of gun possession, how modern weaponry and warfare went over the top, especially in the context of youth politics. The movie has the quirkyness and love for its characters like a Wes Anderson movie, but also sports the brooding Post-America atmosphere of Lars von Trier and David Lynch movies. The cast is brilliant, from Pullman to Jamie Bell, so is the 60ies OST. I strongly recommend this movie to my friends here at Flixster, you will be surprised and raising your eyebrows at times but cannot help to be immersed, forced to rethink often and of course entertained by this work of art.
H.Hey, you should really see this, a beautiful movie both to look at and think about, don't miss it ! Read my review for details !
