Posted by Breaker On September - 23 - 2009

214359.1020.ACast: Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino, Charlize Theron, Jeffrey Jones,

Director: Taylor Hackford

Underestimated from day one, you’d never think I am the master of the universe…

Beautiful and mature movie, has some great monologues and Al Pacino shows off his talent again. Until I saw this movie, I didn’t notice what devilish smile Keanu Rives has… Anyway the film is full of symbols and has a certain irony. Read the rest of this entry »

angels-demons-secondposter-fullsize1     Cast: Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, Ayelet Zurer

     Director: Ron Howard

 

     The movie is based on the book with the same name whose author is Dan Brown. If you watch the trailer you will get a slight sensation that supernatural and bizarre events will take place, at least I did, but sorry to disappoint it is a thriller/crime movie. Although, it is peaty interesting and it revolves around a war between the Roman Catholic Church and The Iluminati, between the spiritual and the scientific, religion Read the rest of this entry »

boiler_room1     Cast: Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Nia Long

     Director: Ben Younger

 

     This is a motion picture that illustrates a different way of making a fast buck in corporate America. The name, familiar to some, actually refers to an office or an organization that uses high pressure sales tactics to persuade.

This is a more modern Wall Street; however things are happening at a much smaller level and more underground. The dudes featured are a bunch of young restless stock market cowboys joined by Read the rest of this entry »

     Director: Guy Ritchie

 

     …….maybe you heard my sigh. It’s tough to gather your thoughts about this movie. Lucky I don’t have to tell you the story, I just have to get you to watch it.
