Watch or Skip

A film is a dream. You kill it writing it down, you kill it with a camera; the film might come to life for a moment or two when your actors breathe life back into it, but then it dies again…

Only when his own medicine worked out, Jean-Do decided to translate the life he was living to a book though his only mean of communication… his left eye!

The movie caught every bit of my attention and I became more attached as Edith’s life events were passing by…

A new view of how definitions can be revolutionized and values can be perceived, or how the human’s pyramid of needs can be reshuffled.

The Silver Screen has witnessed lots of biographies about famous mythical, religious, medieval, and recent kings and queens; most remarkable of them all was the whole lot of England’s Queens!

This movie is not a blockbuster movie and I do not remember if it was ever in theaters… you will just have to go dig the shelves of some DVD store to find it.

A movie about drugs, love, agony, & family ties …what a combination! You will think. To start with, this movie is a true story… we have here a biography but with a director’s (Ted Demme) full mindset flexibility for delivering this story to the public.

Brad Pitt keeps proving his theory: I look good but I act better. A lovely historical drama that in addition to its capturing story, you get to learn more about the famous far-eastern culture; the Tibetan Culture, the Dalai Lama, and the lessons inherited from their Great teacher Buddha.

From a broad outlook, other than being a true story, this movie seems to be a lousy replica of the all times masterpiece “The God Father”. It has the same concept & frame of mind but different people and places, this time it is in Harlem and about an African American whose name is Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington).
