The Artist PG-13

In the generation of filmmaking where exquisite visual and audio effects added so much to a movie's success and brilliance, The Artist proved that silent motion pictures can still compete. With a screenplay so clever and interesting, a direction so superb, a cinematography so classy, and actors so splendid, I would be tremendously surprised if this doesn't bag the Best Picture statuette in the upcoming Academy Awards. All the things needed to regard a film as a true masterpiece are all in the top-notch motion picture The Artist. Just perfect.

Hugo PG

"I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason."

A heartwarming film about the magic of dedication and passion with a very charming cinematography, art direction, editing and message for the soul. If you're fond of films especially the classic ones, you'll fall in love with Hugo.

The Passion of the Christ R

One of the best religious films ever! Mel Gibson did great. This one is overwhelming with sadness and emotion. After I watched this, I realized more deeply the sacrifices Jesus did and the pain he suffered just to save us from our sins. This is such a brilliant film about Christ. There are a lot of sad films in which I also felt the emotion of those masterpieces but this is the only film that made tears rush down my cheeks.

Forrest Gump PG-13

Forrest Gump. Clearly, he has a very low IQ and it would be very much appropriate to remark that he is a complete idiot. But, I think a kinder and still proper description of him in my point of view is that he is a man of innocence. He has gone through a lot in his life. He was bullied at school. He met the girl of his dreams and her only friend as a child. There are times when he had her, and often she's gone. He gained and lost things along the way. But, what he retained until the end is his innocence. This innocence made him a laughingstock of the world, but, this is also what made his life extremely extraordinary. Wonderful direction from Robert Zemeckis who has made the adaptation of a story full of facts from history twisted to create Forrest Gump, producing a moving and interesting film until the very last scene. Good set of actors and of course, the outstanding Tom Hanks. The story was really unforgettable and filled with valuable life lessons. This is a movie where you'll get the perfect amount of drama, comedy and romance. And I tell you, Forrest is not stupid as his mother believed so. The world is stupid. They struggle to do things, even ruining others, to achieve their ambitions and as presented in the film through some characters, they end up losing. And where's Forrest? He's there seeing the world with pure simplicity and innocence.
