- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonA banker convicted of uxoricide forms a friendship over a quarter century with a hardened convict, while maintaining his innocence and trying to remain hopeful through simple compassion.THE best thriller of all time, this movie nails the genre, and at the same time depicts the horrible reality of American prisons. The amazing storytelling and pacing of this movie, accompanied by the voiceover from Morgan Freeman makes this movie truly special.
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsHilary SwankClint EastwoodMorgan FreemanFrankie, an ill-tempered old coach, reluctantly agrees to train aspiring boxer Maggie. Impressed with her determination and talent, he helps her become the best and the two soon form a close bond.To me, this movie (among other things) is about hope and hard work. And it shows you the reality of working your a*s off, and still not being able to change your fate. Also with a nice depiction of class struggle, and the dream of defying your social heritage. This movie gets it rating on account of its underlying themes, and its thought and tear provoking ending.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenOrlando BloomA meek Hobbit from the Shire and eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the powerful One Ring and save Middle-earth from the Dark Lord Sauron.In my mind the 3 LOTR movies come together as one. Thats also why i have given them the same rating. In my humble opinion (and in most other movie enjoyers aswell) this is the best film trilogy of all time, and is in it self undeniable!
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenViggo MortensenWhile Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard.See "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring just above, for comment.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodViggo MortensenIan McKellenGandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.See "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring just above, for comment.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsLeonardo DiCaprioKate WinsletBilly ZaneA seventeen-year-old aristocrat falls in love with a kind but poor artist aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.This masterpiece of a romance movie takes you on a journey. This movie succedes at being world class in two genres, that being romance and drama. With powerful themes of class and privilege. This movie is perfectly balanced, and engaging all the way through, the pacing is simply immaculate. Its a testament to what good directing paired with an interesting story can achieve. Most definitely my favorite romance movie, and also up there on my list of dramas.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHugh JackmanScarlett JohanssonRival 19th-century magicians engage in a bitter battle for trade secrets.I love a movie about magic and misdirection. Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson simply nailed these roles. Magic movies and the thriller genre work very well together, and this movie is the blueprint for such a movie. A lot of twists and turns in the story, but easy to follow, and even easier to enjoy, great movie!
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsMatthew McConaugheyAnne HathawayJessica ChastainWhen Earth becomes uninhabitable in the future, a farmer and ex-NASA pilot, Joseph Cooper, is tasked to pilot a spacecraft, along with a team of researchers, to find a new planet for humans.Need i explain?
- DirectorsChris AppelhansMaggie KangStarsArden ChoMay HongJi-young YooA world-renowned K-Pop girl group balance their lives in the spotlight with their secret identities as demon hunters.Unexpected entry.. a lot of things about this movie impressed me. First of all my expectations were low, as i usually dont consume any korean music or film. I only know some of the k-dramas, and they are a bit too over the top for me. I simply loved every single song in this movie, and it totally blew my expectations away. Also, i liked the characters, and i felt that for such a short movie, the characters were made well enough for me to care about them. The only reason this movie wasnt perfect, is because it was a bit predictable, and not that groundbreaking when it comes to the plot.
