Brokeback Mountain: A film about the love between two cowboys. This film was good, but I didn’t think the film really explained the attraction, and how it started. It seemed that one minute they were just friends, and the next, they were in love/lust. I did enjoy the film, however, other than that part. I […]
Film Log
Logs of movies I’ve watched.
Film: Cinderella Man (2005)
Cinderella Man: A film that I didn’t know a whole deal about before I started watching – I didn’t even know it was based on a true story. Anyway, the film is about a boxer, James Braddock, who had a good life, and then lost it all in the Great Depression, and was in poverty, […]
Film: Gangs of New York (2002)
Gangs of New York: I thought this was only a little over average, this film. Great acting, but, I just didn’t think the story was all that interesting. Lots of stuff about honour among criminals. Apparently it’s based on a nonfiction book called by the same name, written in 1928. I give it 6/10
Film: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Everyone knows that this story is all about the action, not the story. However, the story wasn’t as bad as I imagined it might be. The action, like another Michael Bay film I saw recently, was fun, but, difficult to follow, with too much stuff happening at once, and I […]
Film: Tears of the Sun (2003)
Tears of the Sun: A film about troubles in Nigeria, and the US military trying to take some US citizens out of troubled areas. It concentrates on the rescue of one doctor, who will not let her patients be left to suffer against the rebels who would massacre them. It’s got some really brutal imagery […]
The Island (2005)
The Island: An action packed film – I had no idea what it was about, which helped. The film starts with a setting in a kind of utopian safe place. Everything seems very controlled, including emotions, and diet. It’s not clear to me what is going on, until almost halfway into the film. So I […]
Film: The Eagle Has Landed (1976)
The Eagle Has Landed: A film about German Paratroopers who were tasked with kidnapping Churchill, in an attempt for Germany to have a negotiated peace, not necessarily to win the war. A good thriller, keeps you wondering what’s going to happen next, and where the story will go. I never quite figured out the point […]
Film: The Hangover (2009)
The Hangover: A film about a bunch of guys who go to Las Vegas for a stag night, end up getting wasted, and losing the groom, and backtracking their night to find out what happened. I thought it wasn’t really very good – though it had some funny moments in it. The characters were just […]
Film: Blades of Glory (2007)
Blades of Glory: What complete silliness, but good fun. Two olympic ice skating champions who do not get on, end up being a pairs team because that’s the only way they can get back in to the game after being banned. Silly comedy, my kind of fun. I give it 7/10
Film: 50 First Dates (2004)
50 First Dates: I assumed this would be a super silly film, with Adam Sandler being in it. It was admittedly very cheesy and silly in parts, but nowhere near as bad as I thought. An enjoyable romantic comedy. I give it 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343660/50 Fi
