REVIEW(***) |
To tell the truth I don't like the story of Cinderella
Before I watched this movie,Cinderella was "The girl just
waiting happiness and weak"
But Ever~turned my opinion totally.
This modernism Cinderella Daniel was independent and strong
who was able to work out own fate. Never give up own miserable
situation. She tried to grab her happiness.
The movie was very satisfying. Drew Barrymore is very good
at playing this type of role as seen in Never Been Kissed,
The Wedding Singer.
Also supporting actress was really good Jeanne Moreau who was
mysterious A.Huston was catty since Captain EO
Dougray Scott I found why Hugh Jackman was able to replace his
role finally.

REVIEW(****) |
There are a lot of movies that categorized so called
"Biographical story by musician or sit-com by musician"
such as "The hard days Night" "Elvis on Stage"
"Moon Walker"...but all of films didn't strike my cord.
But it strike my cord.I thought it fit "time". Yeah I
don't denied before mentioned films didn't fit era.
But "Movies which stared by musician" were too bright
and cheerful for me.
None of film tried to describe how to get over myself.
It means how to get over your complex... tried to see
]
yourself. Eminem had good work. He tried to get back how he
used to be. Even though get a big deal, he never kick
his heel. He was fed up to do it and was able to find
what should he do.
Also this movie describe how insensitivity the people
who mack to Jimmy include Alex.
The scene Wink and Alex visit his trailer house, he
denied own house Why?
Everybody should had a "shelter" which isn't willing
to enter nobody.
He should have said after he set a fire a old house
" When I was a childhood, I wanted to live such like
house..." I found why there are a few core Hip-Hop
fans hi movie theater. Probably They didn't buy many
scenes in this movie and casting. I thought Mekhi was
good thought another main casting were no good.
Cameo rappers better than main casting.
If you have struggle with your life, it'll be
so-good movie. |

REVIEW(***) |
After I watched the movie I knocked around why American tend to make revenge
right. Especially "War situation"
In this case, Childers lost his followship because of Yemen's gunfire.
But there was a reason why American Ambassodor must give gunfire or demonstration
There was no line in the movie.Just they asked chicken or egg. Remember War which
connected American were always "chicken-or-the-egg controversy" and "revenge for
enemy" There was no word regrect all situation
There was a reason why I didn't watch it in movie theater and waited it on TV |

REVIEW(***) |
Based on the Rudyard Kipling who wrote "Jungle book".
At that time S.Connely got his name in sequel of007,M.Caine also got
his nameHarry Parmer. They tried to found another image of acting.
Then they challenged big name director's movie, I thought.
Director John Husuton took on C.Gable and H. Bogart when he projected on the
first time. Before M.Caine and S.Connery start to shoot this film, they
discuss what did Victorian like and how to play it.
They should have been rudeness, swank, then they are easy to throw up India
from a train. But their class were laboring class not rich.
Probably it was difficult to measure up to director's expectation thought.
Begging of the film was slow paced,it was boring.
But after screwed up their project, the story was getting interesting.
They recognized what they would never be able to reverse and tried to flee.
Then they found what was most important thing the man who would be king
-Don't be ambitious- Keep their friendship in their last moment.
It was lesson of the life, I thought.
By the way, the beautiful lady who played Daniel's wife Roxane, she is wife of
M.Caine. In the film he was proud of her like "She is beautiful, isn't she?"
They got married just 1year ago at that time, U-um |

Review(****) |
If you made a regrettable mistake between your partner,
what can be done?
Luis Mandoki's directing romance stories include such
like message. Even though it was just "slight scratch"
for women or men for other sex, it would be incredible
mind scars. His movies always talk "Who said everything
done fast?"
This movie draw about trauma and abuse but I don't
wanna mention about it. 'cause if you have given abused
somebody, you might not sympathize with her and it
depends on this problem. Somebody tried to seal up their
problem like Catch, somebody tried to faced it like Sharon.
But... if you got it or not, we're need to somebody who
knows everything and treat you like old women in a movie
His movie has always those kind of role. Why?
Even how many words, the way to bear out your feeling,
it's difficult to say and act out your emotion I think.
They're "messenger" instead of you.Whenever you wanted to be
shoulder to cry on,they are here.
Jenifer Lopez was good to play down-town,traumatized female cop.
And the biggest reason I watched this movie Jim Caviezel,
You rocked me again! How beautiful your eyes.
Not only your eyes, you tried to play obstinate man.
(Does it your one of true side personality?)
It didn't end in just "sweet hackneyed romance" I thought.

REVIEW(****) |
Julia Roberts gave her everything in a way but her remarkable
performance was not hokey.
I thought the director wisely to cut out too much serious
episode about real Erin. And he stayed away from make her
too much of a "martyr"
Also real Erin had dyslexia. It must stand in a way her carrier.
If director draw everything about Erin, it would be long,
more tough story than I thought.
The point of this movie was "what's wrong with ordinary house wife"
Not only America, I mean developing country tend to downlate
"housewives". In this movie Julia shouted "They (Hinkly's residence)
open their mind for me, I haven't been respected everybody but
everybody hear my voice in Hinkly." You know what I mean?
"Academic background is NOT everything"
It connected acting carrer I suppose.
While I watched this movie, Aaron (George) was going to leave
her because of he had question of his life...if he wouldn't tell
his love her, he was going to leave her.
I felt why Julia stay away from George? Probably it was the reason
why she was left husband twice and she couldn't find her way
which does she like better, love or work for her and her daughter
"Look Outside" her employer Ed's saying make it obviously.

REVIEW(****) |
I wondered US president is tough, hand-some, who is able
to handle aircraft someone like Marshall in this movie?
Plus there were too much CG-effects in it .
But I thought it was better Marshall in Air Force One than
current president G.W.Bush in it.
There were many paradoxical things and much more.
For example why Air Force One was fallen down in spite of
Marshall used cell-phone in a plane, why Russian terrorist
Ivan spoke English? Etc, Etc. Anyway,
One of the further scene was action sequence of Harrison
Probably setting character of president of Marshall was
"ideal American President" someone like JFK.
If JFK would still arrive and he was young and war experience
.... he would do that" Screenwriter might be setting his character.
Um, president Bush, you should follow his footstep.
Cimematizing this movie, American wanted to president someone like him.
