Movies Review.
This film is based on the true story of a group of monks during the recent civil war in Algeria. There is a beauty in her devotion to the poverty stricken residents that they serve with warmth and simplicity.
Like the real world penetrates their quiet work, they will address some fundamental issues that could affect their chances of survival. Should they accept an armed guard by a government with little legitimacy? Should they leave?
Should they try a respectful relationship with the fundamentalist rebels, who visit menacing build it? Can they leave their mission? Her struggle with these questions forms the basis for the action of the film. While slow, if you are used to Hollywood action, it is entirely credible, with each scene pregnant with psychological nuance and internal turbulence……….

Movie Review.
As a native Japanese, I can be a little pedantic about films of this era-centric,especially when it comes to feudal Japan. This movie does not insult my intelligence was, with the presentation of the nature of Japan before Meiji era and gave me goosebumps with their intensity. This film is both entertaining, intelligent and brings to life a culture (samurai), that few today can only be aware of. This is a true samurai film in the form of delivery and without over the top. Thank you Amazon for it online. This is an absolute must to my movie collection……….

Movie Review.
Any movie that the subtitle has to overcome a lot to me fully involved in the action. In the case of the famous U-boat-Germany-classic "Das Boot", because I do not remember that subtitles past the first five minutes. What originally drew me to the film was Jürgen Prochnow.He's such a great actor and he really impressed me in "Dune" and "The Seventh Sign".As usual, his portrayal of the German Navy captain understated and yet impressively powerful.
If you know your recent history, you are familiar with the German U-boat Command Service history, during the Second World War. In the early years, these submarines caused chaos in the Atlantic Ocean and beyond to bring practical commercial shipping to a halt. Over time, however, the Allies presented newly commissioned sub-hunter ships creeping dominance of the Germans. Disappointing the large "sub verses sub" duels rarely happens is during the Second World War………………

Movie Review.
I remember Gettsyburg with his first release in theaters. I saw it in a widescreen format theater in '93 and was "on the eyes, jaw-down" on a large scale scenes of combat. I'm also curious about Jeff Daniels drawn representation of Joshua Chamberlain.It just feels incredibly natural. As a recent adopter of the BluRay format, I look forward to seeing this film on my big TV, nibbling popcorn on a Sunday afternoon, and then again when I was struck almost 20 years ago………………
