Enemy of the State review
Posted : 7 years, 1 month ago on 28 September 2017 02:42 (A review of Enemy of the State)Will Smith puts in a fine performance in a serious role as a lawyer who is being chased by the establishment and framed. He handles serious roles very well and portrays the frustration and confusion of the character with great skill. Jon Voigt is excellent as a Government Official and manages to keep that calm persona throughout.
It is Gene Hackman who steals the film though for me. Playing a mysterious character whose role and background are kept quiet until the end, he manages to portray a sense of urgency, secrecy, menace, dramatic irony and purpose. Yet he still keeps a vague sense of humour at the same time.
There are a couple of good subplots in this film.. One which was totally unnecessary to the plot and one which appeared to be until the clever ending.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Edward Scissorhands review
Posted : 7 years, 1 month ago on 25 September 2017 04:52 (A review of Edward Scissorhands)He had a wonderful talent for making things with his unique hands, but he was still confused about the way the world worked.
He finally wound up back where he began, which in a macabre sort of way was where he belonged, because his background just wouldn't let him fit into a so called normal world.
The ending was very sad.

Pay It Forward review
Posted : 7 years, 2 months ago on 18 September 2017 09:49 (A review of Pay It Forward)Here we have a kid who was is doing his best to change the world while the adults who initially encouraged him to are ultimately the ones holding him back. I cried the first time I watched it, and though I didn't cry during the second time, I could really feel the emotions emitting from the screen. I was actually suppressing my laughter during the climactic scene because I was waiting to see if my guy friend would cry (he didn't), but the bubble of laughter died away really quickly and gave way to sadness. The family dynamics as well as the interactions with his teacher was so well executed and detailed that it just brought the whole film together.
To me this film is near flawless because I love it so much.

“Christina Baker Kline has done an exceptional job of presenting the story of Niamh Power, a fictional character, who represents many aspects of a child's life under this system.

“You'd have to be crazy to think the Cosby Show wasn't the most dominant network show on television during the 80's. The Show focused on an upper class family living in Brooklyn. Bill Cosby as Cliff Huxtable creates an uncanny charm as a great father to his children but at the same time he himself is” read more
“Watching "A Different World" was one of the biggest reasons I wanted to attend an HBCU. It was fascinating to watch what Debbie Allen and Bill Cosby did to improve the additional seasons of the show and take on everything from racism to Black Greek life to elitism to black history to relationships. ” read more

“This movie impressed me to such an extent, that I had trouble sleeping for the first few nights after I saw it, not because he scared me. I just kept thinking about this guy who had scissors for hands, and was so unfamiliar with the world,

“This movie is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. It is a work of art, an wonderful, emotional experience and a true classic.

“The concept of the story is brilliant. It's become such a saying now to 'pay it forward' but I'm not sure if it even originated from this movie. The concept was told in a terrific way and really captured the ripple effect. Some viewers might not like this (being cynics), but I love it.

“This book doesn't just flip gender roles. It delves into complicated discussions around systemic oppression, power, rape culture, gender, and religion. The book is an unflinching dystopian yet also a mirror of our world today. It forces you to ask hard questions about your beliefs. It's also a ridic” read more
“My Mad Fat Diary is one of the funniest, most touching, realistic, well written and brilliant shows I have ever seen. Pretty much my favorite show of all time and I think that viewers of all age groups and social groups could relate to it in someway. 10/10! The characters are well formed, interestin” read more
“The acting and camera-work are good and the story, a haunted house tale, has merit. The real and the psychosis are delightfully muddled, so the most effective, or not confusing at all, when taken from the perspective of Dana's (Kate Beckinsale), meaning that you can watch in different ways, as if wa” read more
“American Horror Story is the complete definition of beautiful television. Each Season is self contained with a cast so spectacular, that its hard not to watch. Every single season of this show brings joy to me, the producers manage to capture factual elements of 'horror' in this show for everyone's ” read more
