Different (1999)
Don't miss this excellent movie!
You may go into this movie expecting the typical made-for-TV movie downfalls (cheesy acting, cheap sentiment, washed-up stars, and low production values) but other than the tell-tale weak musical score, this movie delivers honest performances and a truly touching story of triumph over personal adversity.
As an avid movie-goer, I can assure you that this movie is better than most of the movies I have seen in theaters during the past few years. All the performances were top-notch, with a stand-out performance by Lynn Redgrave, who makes you hate her, yet redeems herself in the end.
I count Annabeth Gish's depiction of a mentally challenged person as convincing as those of A-list actors who have attempted similar roles in the past.
The Path to 9/11 (2006)
This is propaganda.
Not only does this movie rewrite history to score political points, but it is plain bad cinema. The camera lurches about non-stop. This technique might be useful if used sparingly, but it is laughable when used indiscriminately. Boos to Harvey Keitel for reading the lines he did. Please don't insult our intelligence, Mr. Keitel, by pretending that you were scrupulous in checking the lines for historical accuracy and put up a good fight for the truth. Disney and ABC ought to be ashamed of this production. They lost money on this attempt to influence the outcome of federal elections in the United States. These same bigwigs turned their noses up at "The Reagans", a finer picture, which is balanced and well-researched, because it came too close to an election and showed the Iran-Contra affair amidst other accurate portrayals of history.
