Goodfellas (1990)
Best Picture Of The Year In My Opinion
I have seen this movie over a million times. Every time that I watch it, I try to find something wrong with it and I find myself unable to do so. This incredibly brilliantly directed film stands out from the rest. The camera shots as well as the music choices where very well chosen and executed. The acting, well, I would not necessarily call it acting because it seemed so natural that you forgot that they were even acting at all. I am amazed that every single actor pulled it off. The fact that it was based on a true story made it even better. I do not understand why the Academy did not give this film best picture. The language is a little harsh at times, but it is said in a way that fits the film. The violence is there but I did not find it as bad as the ending in Casino. The almost follow up to this film.
Joey (1986)
One of the Best Films Ever
I am telling you right now; that this is one of the most fantastic films ever made. I remember seeing it on HBO just as other people did. I would have to say that this is the one film that I was truly inspired by. May be my views would change if I saw it again. I have not seen the movie in over ten years, and the problem is that I can't find it anywhere.
Analyze This (1999)
Don't waste your time.
In my opinion, I wouldn't rate this as a great movie to go into and be laughing on the floor. This is done by the guy that did caddyshack, which is actually funny. This however is not. People that are fans of Deniro will enjoy this a little. Those who have seen Goodfellas and Casino might enjoy seeing some of the familiar cast. Billy Crystal was funny and enjoyable at the end but by that time I had already been checking my watch wondering when the film would be finally over.
Ravenous (1999)
more than a sick cannibalistic film.
Antonia Bird directs this strange and unusual film about cannibalism. It starts off with Captain John Boyd (Guy Pearce), in order to avoid death in a battle, plays dead and watches his comrades die before him. Consequently, he is banished to an army outpost. There he finds a group of army rejects that each has a different problem of their own. It almost seems that all of the conflicts that this Captain has to face might have been avoided, if not had he frozen in battle. There seems to be an inner conflict within him throughout the film. One night a mysterious stranger (Robert Carlyle) shows up and tells a tale of how he needed to feed on human flesh to survive in a cave. The thought of eating another person's flesh does not interest me in the slightest bit. I even did not like seeing the various human flesh meals in the film Alive. I however, enjoyed this film. It was presented in a way not meant to be taken seriously. The music in it was comic in a way to target this film as an almost black comedy. The one thing that stood out in the film for me was the various twists. There is more then meets the eye with the characters at various times. The best advice would be to trust no one. I thought the film was finely done. I would have to disagree with the critics who thought otherwise. Although this film is far from flawless, I would still have to say that there are certain scenes, shots and plots that appear brilliant at times. I would warn those with weak stomachs to avoid this film in the theaters and try to rent it at home. If you can see behind the gore, and see the film that it is, I would recommend it to you. I give it about 3 stars.
