Defiance 2008, R)
Daniel Craig does a great job in this action packed movie...a moving tale of determination to survive...the will to live and the price at which we want and need freedom even if it costs us our lives...Extermination of jews as per hitlers orders and how a small band of Jews hid in a forest and held off an an army bent on destroying them....Must watch.... |

Changeling 2008, R)
Very touching movie of a mothers's love for his son...the tale of the long walk to justice...the outrage of injustice...incompetence of experts and the police...but the strong-will courageous woman alone in her battle stands up to do what is right even when the society says she's wrong....I almost shared a tear...this movie is touching...carry some kleenex just in case |

Valkyrie 2008, PG-13)
Gr8 Action Movie, I loved the "dying for ideals/principle" factor, patriotism and the ultimate price to be paid when you stand up for what you believe in...Other than that its a gr8 movie to watch..Tom Cruise outdid himself...The guy who played hitler really tried..I guess the Germans would know if he made a good representation of Hitler in those days!!! Must Watch definately! |
