Brothers - 8/10

Very magnetic ensemble cast with Sam Shepard being one of my favorite actors to watch. A powerful story, with an ending that's just heartbreaking. Not as pulse-pounding as The Hurt Locker, but great nonetheless.

^ American History X is definitely four or five out of five. It keeps on getting better and better when you see it again.

I just watched Harry Brown which I am going to rate 6/10. I had high hopes and indeed it started promising. Michael Caine was great but then all the positive things end. The story gets cliché pretty fast and most of the characters were shallow. It's a pity as I think this film could have been way better.

I give 9/10. The story line being too simple, and emphasise too much "one man save the the world", classic american thinking/movie. Please no offence guys, I just have some world wide feedback.

immensely intense and suspenseful. raw and probably the best modern day war movie made.



Well put, and may I say that the ending of that film was well a magnum opus.

I don't know how to rate The White Ribbon. It was stirring and dark. The black and white and lack of score, gave the film and other worldly feel; archival really. The whole was wrapped in metaphor, and the characters were cruel to each other. There was one scene where even a jaded fellow gulped, as one character verbally, coldly undressed another. I enjoyed it but imagine many wouldn't. And I still can't decide how good it was.

"Whip It" is a sweet, funky little movie with an indie feel and production values. A good teen-age date movie. My teen daughters give it a solid 9/10.

Juliette Lewis looks like a really old girl friend from my wilder days (c.1975). The flashbacks get a 10.
