Schindler's List 1993, R)
A movie well done and deserves the highest destinction for the effort and deliverance. The work of Oskar Schindler could be expressed as one of the greatest in history. Delivered l by Stephen Spielberg, acted many top flight actors, like Ralph Finnes who does his job out of passion. A movie that bloomed Stephen Spielberg, and changed the view points of many people. |

Cidade de Deus (City of God) 2002, R)
A tragic story of two young boys, growing in the same neighbourhood, growing with different syllabus. The story is set in the Brazilian slums, one of the world's most dangerous place. It tells a story on how our decisions can shape who we are to become. One of the two boys, Rocket, becomes a photographer. Meanwhile, the other, Lil Zé becomes a blood thirsting drug lord. The human life, precious as we see it, is in the hand of those overlord that ruled the area. The police were corrupt and pledged allegiance to him. As time goes on, his work starts to stumble as the "City of God" opens its door to the world, with the help of Rocket, changing the highest power in the aristocrat. The movie is told from many eyeviews of the main characters, which eventually leads up to one event. The end of the drug lord reign. But as time cycles, another clan forms, whom is to become the future overlord. |

The Constant Gardener 2005, R)
A love-hate tragedy, also a masterpiece by Fernando Meirelles. The documentary style camera and how it delivers the story, is just world class. If you liked the "City of God" this one is highly recommended. It's a story on how big medicine companies test their products using human lives. At first, the companies seem nice by giving drugs to the remote African cities. Tessa (Rachel Weisz) a doctor, starts to feel the foul play. She starts to investigate and "dies" mysteriously. Justin (Raph Finnes), an English lawyer finds out the superpowers behind the death of his beloved. This encourages him to have revenge on the companies by uncovering their masks. The love story is one which is very touchy. I think the best words to describe it is "Unlike those hollywood stories". The soundtrack that plays, add to the tragedy. |

The Godfather, Part II 1974, R)
Spectacular film! Perhaps, the best of the trilogy. Taken from the book by Maario Puzo, Directed by the late Francis Ford Coppola, features Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, and Robert De Niro, this movie makes it into the category of legend. |

Sin City 2005, R)
Absolute greatness. No more can be said of it. The best Graphic novel adaptation of all time. Much credit to Frank Miller, one of the most renowned writer in the graphic novel industry (Batman: Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil, Ronin, Give me Liberty). Unlike many other adaptations, this movie sticks to the story of the book frame by frame. Top flight actors, great storyline, combined with the directing brilliance of Tarantino (even though he's only a guest director). And not to mention the dancing Jessica Alba.. |

The Pianist 2002, R)
Andrien Brody shows his talent once again in this movie. A strife for freedom, a struggle for survival, and determination for revenge. The qualities of the Jewish at the time of the Hollocaust. All of it is potrayed in this movie. |

Downfall (Der Untergang) 2004, R)
A reproduction of what might have been what the last days of Hitler. The acting is world class, and the story was based on countless autobiography, and biographies of those closest to Hitler. Autobiographies of Albert Speer, and Goobles contributed into this masterpiece and help put the missing puzzle into pieces. The tremors by the tension in the bunker was also accounted in their autobiographies. Downfall potrays the last days of the Third Reich, the fall of an empire, and the birth of a new hope. |

The Green Mile 1999, R)
Screenplay excellent, cinematography excellent, acting excellent.. what more could you want? Story line? Indescribeable. A Stephen King masterpiece made into motion picture by the all famous Frank Darabont, having directed in the 'Shawshank Redemption' once again directing a movie worth the title "one of the best ever". How I admire Stephen King. |

The Shining 1980, R)
Jack Nicholson, one of the many talented actors. The book, and how it goes is just amazing. I guess it's with all Stephen King books. Good stuff, good story. Also if you want to remember Stanley Kubrick, watch this movie. One of his best film. Let we remember those passed with good memories. Kubrick's selection of soundtrack is just amazing. The sinister tune of Bella Bartok playing is just the right selection to create the mystic athmosphere. One of the many movies I rate very highly. |
