Among Brothers (2005)
Great story, good production, pretty good acting.
The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is I was sort of expecting a different ending based on the TV show (American Justice) that highlighted this crime. The movie was well written and not by a professional writer or screen writer.
Based on the interest in this movie I have no idea when or if anyone will read this. IF you do then do yourself and have a look at this movie. I confess this is the first independent film I've ever watched because I wasn't or wouldn't expect too much. I have to confess I was happily wrong. This was my first but won't be my last. Suffice to say that "Hollywood" doesn't have a "lock" on good quality films.
P.S.
You can see this film as the last post said at http://www.cinema.lycos.com (don't know where else for sure)
Cheers!
Anger Management (2003)
Need a good laugh? Watch this film!
When I first saw this film and as "David Buznik" managed to get into more and more trouble while being "railroaded' all the time my thoughts were what in the world is going on to this poor slob who basically has done nothing to have the wrath of the court brought down upon him while being represented by a lawyer that must have graduated 301 out of a class of 300. Yes, that bad.
Adam Sandler once again proves his versatility as an actor. It's hard to pick a favorite movie of his because they're all so good. 50 First Dates is an excellent example of his comedy talents while Punch Drunk Love shows more of his acting ability mixing comedy with drama.
Jack Nicholson delivers exactly what you expect, excellence as always. The role fits him perfectly playing what he does so well - a nut! He never ceases to amaze me with his talents be it a love story such as Something's Gotta Give. I was surprised (shouldn't have been) by how he could play such a tender part.
The movie itself is a laugh from one end to the other. I especially liked his confrontation with his old school pal Arnie now a Monk. I loved when Dr. Rydell puts in his 2 cents about Buda and Arnie's sister. "Like a wildebeest" he says commenting how how Arnie's sister (the "nut case")moaned when Dave "got it on with her".
And who didn't love the fudge attack by Kendra at the beach house? If you haven't seen this movie it's a must see if you love a great comedy. Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson deliver a outrageously funny performance and should work again together. Somewhere there is script with their name on it.
So take about 110 minutes out of your life and sit back and be prepared to have a great time.
NOTE: Someone's summary for the film was "Disappointing and Sophomoric". Not sure what movie they were watching but if they didn't get ANY fun out of this film they should be pronounced legally brain dead". Just my opinion and I imagine millions of others.
French Kiss (1995)
Great love story
If you like a great love story then you'll love French Kiss. Also there are many clever and funny lines in the movie.
Kevin Kline is great and does the French accent so well you'll forget he's from St. Louis.
Meg Ryan, what can you say about her? She is great as usual and a perfect part for her.
I watch a lot of comedies and romantic comedies and this one rates at the top of my favorites.
It has what I call "re-watch-ability". I only purchase movies with this quality. You'll want to watch it again and again. Enjoy!
