Movies and you.

So long since i did a lil commentary on movies.
As you might have guessed..the lil isnt exactly very little.:)
I have some fantastic movies to recommend. (and trust me on this, because i AM GOOD at it. its probably one of those few things i really really claim credit for.)
You're a teacher? like a small jolt of inspiration? Or probably a student..looking some hope amidst the failing exams..try this!
Coach Carter, Akeelah and the Bee or Dangerous Minds. Carter's about basketball and lives inspired. Akeelah and the Bee probed me to find out Marianne Williamson's famous "our deepest fear" quote. (this quote was also found in Coach Carter) Dangerous Minds by Michelle Pfeiffer is a story of real-life teacher Louanne Johnson, and her ordeal with her students, and how she used literature to change them.
Need a mind-job? Those 'what the heck!' "silence of the lambs" kind of brain teasers..that make you feel you could be a genius.. try this!
Devil's Advocate. Starring Al Pacino and wooden actor, Keanu Reeves. Reeves is fine, but the main catch is in Pacino's vehemence and belligerent charisma. He's Anthony hopkins without the brain-eating. As the movie climax at the end..watch out for the 'speeches of speeches' i call it. Certain scenes were very scary though.
A movie that inspires you about life and God? Well..2 movies come to mind instantly. Yes, there are many definitely. But not many tie in the songs, the acting, the actors as well as these 2.
Forrest Gump and
Phenomenon. Starring Tom Hanks in the first, and John Travolta in the latter. Story lines wise are superb- the lives of ordinary men, with the colour of wondrous circumstances.
Miss Bruce Willis? He's back in this action twister with a power cast of Morgan Freeman, Lucy Liu and Josh Hartnett in
Lucky Number Slevin. Its RA for the sex. Forget the sex. Enjoy the amazing twist and turns. Josh
Hartnett's character was quite a flimsy one though. The real cool characters lie with Morgan Freeman and of course, Bruce Willis.
What's coming? Thats, in my opinion, a must watch?
1.
United 93. Definitely moving, definitely heart wrenching
2.
World Trade Towers. Sama sama. Only difference is there's Nicholas Cage this time
3.
Miami Vice. If you loved Michael Mann's Collateral? you're bound to love it.
4.
Deja Vu. Not too sure what it exactly is about. But jerry Bruckheimer with Denzel Washington is defintiely enough a reason!
