Plot: In the late 13th century, William Wallace returns to Scotland after living away from his homeland for many years. The king of Scotland has died without an heir and the king of England, a ruthless pagan known as Edward the Longshanks, has seized the throne. Wallace becomes the leader of a ramshackle yet courageous army determined to vanquish the greater English forces. At the historic battle of Stirling, Wallace leads his army to a stunning victory against the English. Knighted by the grateful Scottish nobles, Sir William Wallace extends the conflict south of the border and storms the city of York. King Edward I is astonished by the unexpected turn of events. Unable to rely on his ineffectual son Prince Edward, Longshanks sends his daughter-in-law Princess Isabelle to discuss a truce with Wallace.

Best Picture
Best Director

Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing
Best Makeup

The big battle sequences were done very well. There were some mistakes, but for his second movie, i forgive him.
Great acting by Mel Gibson, Catherine McCormack, Brendan Gleeson and Sophie Marceau. Beautiful screenplay, beautiful directed and great acted. Still my number one movie!!!
William Wallace: Before we let you leave, your commander must cross that field, present himself before this army, put his head between his legs, and kiss his own arse.

Plot: The film is a Chaplinesque fable about the power of imagination set against the stark reality of World War II Europe. The film combines satire, physical comedy, social commentary and a touch of the surreal into a uniquely moving story of love. At the center of the fable is Guido, an enchanting individual with childlike innocence and grand dreams of owning his own book shop. It's 1939, and he has come to the Tuscan town of Arrezzo with his poet friend Ferruccio. With unabashed humor and joy, the two seek fortune and romance, ignoring the growing anti-Semitism and Fascist government that surrounds them. Guido falls in love with Dora, a beautiful young school teacher, and a fairy tale romance ensues.

Number 2 on my all time favorite movie list.
Winner of 3 Academy Awards:
Best Actor in a Leading RoleRoberto BenigniBest Foreign Language FilmItaly.Best Music, Original Dramatic ScoreNicola Piovani

I think the only movie in history who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture and Best foreign movie.
The most beautiful and touching movie i've seen ever. Roberto Benigni and Nicoletta Brasch plays a beautiful couple, they are also that in real life.
Screenplay, acting especially by Roberto and directing was very well done.
You can't believe that it is a movie about Wold War II, because it is a funny movie. Roberto shows that even in bad times like Wold War II, it is better to show beauty and fun to your kid, than be miserable!!! Excellent job and the ending was so beautiful. It made be cry. Don't tell anyone;) Well deserved Oscar for the sound. I bought the soundtrack instantly.

Plot: Frank is a retired Lt Col in the US army. He's blind and impossible to get along with.

Winner of the Academy Award for
Best actor - Al Pacino
I really like the dancing scene in this movie and the powerful speech from Al Pacino at the end of the movie! 5 stars. I wish i could give 6 stars!!!
Well deserved oscar for Al Pacino and excellent directing by Martin Brest.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a fuckin' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. Tits. Hoo-ah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: pussy. Hah! Are you listenin' to me, son? I'm givin' ya pearls here.

Plot: Curtis Hanson's adaptation of the James Ellroy best-seller is that rarest of modern Hollywood creations, a crime drama with the brains, sex appeal, humor, danger and action to satisfy all tastes. The best film about Los Angeles since "Chinatown."

Winner of 2 Academy Awards:
Best Actress in a Supporting RoleKim BasingerBest Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another MediumBrian Helgeland
Curtis Hanson
All Star master cast, including Kevin Spacey, Russel Crowe, Guy Pierce, Kim Basinger, James Cromwell and Danny de Vito.
The brilliant directing by Curtis Hanson and the poweful novel by James Elroy and the explosive screenplay by Brian Helgeland, makes this movie dark and very excellent. Too bad the movie came out in the same year as Titanic, because i had given this movie the Oscar for best movie.
Dudley Smith: Go back to Jersey, Sonny. This is the City of the Angels and you haven't got any wings.

Plot: A retelling of Washington Irving's 18th Century classic "Legend of Sleepy Hollow," with a few Tim Burton twists. Ichabod Crane is an investigator assigned to the case of the series of beheadings in the New York City area, which the locals claim are the work of the spectral Headless Horseman.... which Crane doesn't believe for a moment. But it seems he'll soon discover the truth... and heads will roll.

Winner of 1 Academy Award:
Best Art Direction-Set DecorationRick Heinrichs (art director)
Peter Young (set decorator)
My personal favorite movie of Johnny Depp and the brilliant Tim Burton. What makes this movie interesting is the beautiful art direction (Best Art direction Oscar), the dark music of Danny Elfman, the excellent/ funny Johnny Depp, the brillant directing by Tim Burton and of course the awesome Christopher Walken as the Headless Horseman. The screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en) was dark and entertaining. Go See it!!!
Young Masbath: Is he dead?
Ichabod Crane: That's the problem. He was dead to begin with.

Plot: When a truck loaded with stripped gun parts is hijacked outside of Queens, five notorious thieves become overnight guests of the NYPD, but that's all they need to hatch a plan that brings them to Los Angeles for the ultimate take, $91 million in hard cash. Roger "Verbal" Kint, an apparent victim of cerebral palsy yet an accomplished con man, soon falls under the persuasive powers of U.S. Customs Special Agent David Kujan, who's hot on their trail. Kint weaves a tale that begins six weeks ago, back at the police shake-down in New York. Assembled among the professional felons are hardware specialist Todd Hockney, entry man Michael McManus and Dean Keaton, an ex-cop whose hijacking and smuggling exploits have incurred Kujan's wrath. Customs has been building a case on Keaton for three years, and despite Kint's claim that Keaton is dead, Kujan looks to squeeze Kint until he gets his man. In a surprise plot twist, a pitiable con man is being outwitted by an eager Fed. Or is he?

Best Actor in a Supporting RoleKevin SpaceyBest Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the ScreenChristopher McQuarrie

The most brilliant screenplay ever by Christopher McQuarrie (win Best Screenplay at the Oscars)
Well directed by Bryan Singer. The whole cast is brilliant and the line up scene was priceless. The music score by John Ottman was brilliant. Please keep attention, because the twist at the end, is one the best i've seen in a movie!!!
After that my guess is that you will never hear from him again. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that... he is gone. Keyser Soze.

Seen it last year in cinema and it was my favorite movie for 2006. Jack, Matt, Leo, Mark, Martin and Ray. What more do you want!!

Good action packed movie. With a great soundtrack/sound. I bought the DVD with DTS sound. I really would recommend to buy that version of the movie. It will blow up your DTS/Dolby Surround System;)

The most explosive and action packed movie.
Good acting from John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. Memorable Quote: Castor Troy: If you dress like Halloween, ghouls will try to get in your pants.

Most romantic movie ever!!!!

Excellent movie with very good actors, a couple of twists in the story and than the grand finaly. It is told like a magician act.

Quote:
Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called "The Pledge"; The magician shows you something ordinary, but of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn"; The magician makes his ordinary some thing do something extraordinary. Now if you're looking for the secret... you won't find it, that's why there's a third act called, "The Prestige"; this is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you've never seen before.

The ending is shocking and makes you wonder....

Verdict
A not well known movie to the big audience, but a movie worth to see. Three different story's that collide to one. You have to keep attention, otherwise you will get lost. The movie is funny, energenic, sexy, cool and of course crazy. Brilliant soundtrack and well acted by Desmond Askew, Katie Holmes and many more. Go see it!!!

FBI Technician: What's forget about it?
Donnie Brasco: Forget about it is like if you agree with someone, you know, like Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass, forget about it. But then, if you disagree, like A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Forget about it! you know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like mingia those peppers, forget about it. But it's also like saying Go to hell! too. Like, you know, like "Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker?" and Paulie says "Forget about it!" Sometimes it just means forget about it.

Verdict
Very Funny movie. If you work in an office, you can imagine there problems, paper jams, stuck in traffic and other stuff. Great acting by Ron Livingston and Stephen Root. Highly recommended!!

Rating:
I just saw Pirates of the Carribean At worlds End. I can say it is an excellent movie!!!! Great Art Direction, special effects are once again brilliant, especially the crew of the Flying Dutchmen and of course Davy Jones. The humor was very good.
The little jokes with Jack the Monkey and Marty(the little man of jacks crew) are hilarious.

Trailer: Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End

Acting:
Johnny Depp rules as Captain Jack Sparrow.

The character of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann were more interesting, than in Dead man's chest.

Geoffrey Rush and Bill Nighy were excellent once again.....

Verdict:
But most of all. More Action, More Twists, More Humor and Visual at his best.
The romance was also good;)
It was getting naughty at the end....

Great work from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the direction of Gore Verbinski.

It got my nomination of BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!.................

But here comes the twist. There is a SECRET ending at the end of the credits of this movie. If you want to know what it is, see it for yourself. If you want to know it from me, just ask!!!!Quote:
Lord Cutler Beckett: You're mad!
Jack Sparrow: Thank goodness for that. If I wasn't, this'd probably never work.

14-6-2007: Just came back from cinema and watch Ocean's 13. One word: EXCELLENT. After the disappointing Ocean's 12, i thought no more Ocean. But Ocean's 13 was even as good as 11. Even better!!
