THE MAJESTIC - MOVIE REVIEW

HE SAID:

What a movie! Set against the backdrop of the McCarthy witch hunts, it portrays a beautiful tale of mistaken identity changing a man and through him helping a community torn by losses of young men to the war. America is the only country in the world built on an idea. It is all the more poignant to watch this movie now in 2006, where Bush and his right-wing bullies have once again proved that through might, it is possible to destroy the idea of America.

Who would have thought that within Jim Carrey existed such depth of acting ability? What a performance! Martin Landau as the aging father of the war hero, who is blinded by desperate need to believe that his son has returned after being lost for nine and a half years, is amazing!

The beauty of the film lies in its ability in capturing the mood of a nation that is trying to recover from a war, the McCarthy trials, Jazz and the sense of new hope. It is very rare for Art to capture a sense of a nation.

A strong must see.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a resounding 8.

SHE SAID:

I enjoyed the movie, although it was slow, almost like a documentary. It was confusing at times. It does not play like a commercial movie, but more like a Art house movie.

Good acting by all the actors involved.

I would see it once.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a resounding 5.

THE POLAR EXPRESS - MOVIE REVIEW

HE SAID:

Wow! I would say that actors all around the world need to start shivering in their boots. This movie has definitively proved that it is not necessary to have live actors to make a gripping movie. Animators with their computers can do the job. Techies have even been experimenting with using long dead actors in brand new movies. Now imagine, if we could have any actor act in our movie, without having to worry about tempers, ego, tantrums etc.

An amazing movie that is as good as, or better than a live action movie. Even you are not a Christian like me, you will still enjoy it and treasure it's message.

Definitely worth watching and owning.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 8.

SHE SAID:

A highly enjoyable movie. I hate cartoons, but movies like this convince me otherwise. A lovely story that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. It has a message of hope.

Worth watching for sure.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 7.
