Rules of Engagement (2000)
November 21, 2020
The argument could be made that the film A Few Good Men, starring Tom Cruise and Demi Moore, would be considered the greatest military courtroom drama. In the second place, I would love to nominate the Rules of Engagement. Call me crazy, but this is one of my favourite Samuel L. Jackson roles. Gary Pierce … More Rules of Engagement (2000)
Don’t Say a Word (2001)
November 20, 2020
Please stop me if you heard this one… Sean Bean walks onto a movie set… That opening was pretty lame, but so was the outcome for Don’t Say a Word, which starred Bean as the bad guy. His target this time around is not a king or the king’s army. Instead, it’s a girl in … More Don’t Say a Word (2001)
Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)
November 19, 2020
When my wife suggested we watch Jack the Giant Slayer, I will admit I was a bit skeptical. Then I looked up the cast and said, this can’t be bad. Headlined by Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Eleanor Tomlinson, and Stanley Tucci. The cast and story did not disappoint, even if the CGI had some questionable … More Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)
The Game (1997)
November 18, 2020
The Game came out in 1997, which means I’ve had over two decades to deconstruct this movie time and time again. Even viewing this crazy story today, I still don’t quite understand the finer details of it all. As a fan of Michael Douglas’s career, the only thing I learnt from this particular role is … More The Game (1997)
Red Eye (2005)
November 17, 2020
It is hard to create a compelling drama on an airplane. The environment is very tight, and there isn’t much room to move and perform. Those shortcomings didn’t stop Wes Craven from giving us another thrill ride. Rachel McAdams is Lisa, a hotel manager, who is on a flight with a good looking guy named … More Red Eye (2005)
Derailed (2005)
November 16, 2020
Derailed is the kind of murder mystery with many twists and turns that even when you think you got it all figured out, you don’t. I’ve enjoyed Clive Owen’s work for a long time, and for me, this is one of my favourite roles outside of his portrayal as King Arthur. He’s Charlie Schine, a … More Derailed (2005)
Deep Impact (1998)
November 15, 2020
In some marriages, couples argue over chores or money. In my house, our debates are usually centred around movies, and sometimes they run deep. Deep Impact will be one of my wife’s favourite movies of all-time, yet I was never on that bandwagon. I am a proud member of the Armageddon fan club because I … More Deep Impact (1998)
Unforgiven (1992)
November 14, 2020
It was about a decade ago that I borrowed Unforgiven from a friend. He couldn’t believe that I had never watched this iconic western and best picture winner. After my first viewing, I went on to rate the movie 8/10 on IMDb. Somehow Unforgiven ended up in my movie collection even though I believe it … More Unforgiven (1992)
Schindler’s List (1993)
November 13, 2020
Even after 25 years since it’s original release, Schindler’s List still holds the same power it did so many years ago. There isn’t much left to say about a film considered one of the greatest masterpieces in Hollywood history. The subject material is touchy, the performances are heart-wrenching, and the story of how one guy … More Schindler’s List (1993)
