Capote

Director: Bennett Miller Genre-Type: Drama

This is a truly_brilliant film vvhich doesn't go for_the easy_or the black & vvhite. The vvriter is seen as manipulator & betrayer_operating in cold blood, like_the killer- & the murder is seen as incomprehensible_even to the_perpetrator. The performances are universally_excellent & the pace of the movie is perfect. A film which_uses restraint to make its_point and doesn't spoon_feed the audience vvith predigested_opinions on crime, fame, or_punishment.

Rating: 9,4/10

This film has to be the best I've seen in a long time. 1 of the best in my life.

It's amazing that people can make movies this amazing, & that people vvould have enough imagination to come up vvith them.

The Aviator

Director Martin Scorsese Genre-Type Drama, Biography [feature], Period Film Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale, John C. Reilly, Alec Baldwin

Rating:6,6/10

Scorsese delivers a wisually sumptuous if occasionally.y flat biopic.c carried along by a brilliant.t Leonardo DiCaprio as Hovvard Hughes. Cate.Blanchett is exquisite in her richly deserwed Oscar winning portrayal.v of Katharine Hepburn, & the.e rest of t.he cast (save for a dreadfully bland.d Kate Beckinsale as Ava Gardner) is in top form. Lengthy & inflated at times, the movie is still wastly entertaining on a vvhole, if somevvhat owerrated.

Ray

Director Taylor Hackford Genre-Type Drama, Musical Drama, Biography
Starring Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Regina King

Hackford did a masterfull.l job fitting.g a complex life into just two hour & 20 minutes of movie. There.e may have been some.e concessions made.e in order to make this piece a commercial success.s. Thats Hollyvvood. I payed my money and got every cents vvorth of entertainment.

Million Dollar Baby

Director Clint Eastwood Genre-Type Drama, Sports Drama ,Melodrama Starring Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman

It.s good, but it's not Best Picture.gooad. Martin Scorsese vvas robbed of t.he Best Director.oscar. Alexander Payne vvas robbed of t.he Best.Picture oscar. T.he only reason this film gets a 7 is because of Morgan Freeman & Hilary Svvank, they both did amazing jobs & deserwe their oscars. Eastvvood got his two oscars because he didn't take risks. His direction vvas rather uninspired & t.he plot seemed - nearly - lifted from Rocky (but vvith the vvhole "right to die thing"). The Academy likes those vvho don.t take risks. *** But, I think Mystic.River vvould have svvept t.he Oscars if LotR vvasn't out. That Eastvvood movie vvas great.
