The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 R
Works extremely well as a hostage movie, an entertaining 2 hours to spend in your life. The buildup of the taking is amazing, with some very good screenplay in the first 60 or something minutes. Regarding the cast, it wasn't Travolta nor Washington but John Turturro who stole the picture with a striking performance. Washington wasn't convincing enough, but that's not really his fault but the script who decided to somehow metamorphose the guy from a family person doin his normal day job to a superhero that wanna save NY city. It all was going very smoothly until the last 30 minutes, where the producers decided to end the movie like all other heist movies. What a shame ending to a really promising buildup !
Evil Dead 2 Evil Dead 2 R
I Strongly disagree that "Evil dead 2" surpasses the original. If i'll have to rate this as a comedy it will easily get a 4.5 stars, but won't even make the 3 stars if i'm based on horror. Actually the film is a combination of both worlds, and the combination works really well. The scenes that will stick to the memory are the possessed hand scene, the laughing scene, and the rambo-style scene. All these are hilarious comedy scenes. The most disappointing thing in the movie is the beginning, a fast recap of what happened in the first movie. The recap should have never taken place, coz the creation of a new footage in a new location with a different actress was confusing and not accurate by any means. This was, from start to finish, the movie of Bruce Campbell. He worked solo for most of the film and did so with perfectionnism. You could really feel he actually WAS Ash. Brilliant performance.

Schindler's List Schindler's List R
By far Spielberg's finest work. Fiennes as evil Amon Goeth, Neeson as Oskar Schindler and Kingsley as Itzhak Stern gave unparalleled performances. The last scene is the most touching i've ever seen in movies, and the switch from black and white to colors is the essence of the film. It will definitely leave a mark in me forever. The main theme by Williams portrays the story just perfectly, no words needed. "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire"
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring PG-13
There can't be a Trilogy as perfect as the mighty Lord of the Rings. There are just no flaws, with the forego credit going to Howard Shore for the beautiful imaginary soundtrack. For my eyes, it's a very rare diamond that you can't walk up on everyday.
