Elevation 2001: U2 Live from Boston (2001)
What a disappointment?
As a fan of U2 for decades I was severely disappointed in this concert. The sound on the demo tapes on which I voted for the A side of U2's first single was 10 times superior to this. The sound was awful and the camerawork looked like it was taken by someone with a videocamera in the crowd. I so looked forward to watching this and was bitterly disappointed.
I Am Sam (2001)
Penn's Best performance
Without doubt this was a star performance from Sean Penn. He was incredible. Interesting role also for Michelle Pfeiffer who played the success-driven lawyer with it all. The movie itself was a tearjerker even for the hardest of hearts!
Angela's Ashes (1999)
Good but overdone on the grayness!
A Powerful movie that will move all who see it especially those that know Ireland of now and that of the olden days. Boy has it changed!
I had listened to the audiobook narrated by the author and in that the poverty and misery was bearable. In the movie it was much more sombre and hard to believe. The constant rain for one was a myth. The climate was overdone with what looked like monsoons at times. Nevertheless the Movie captured the essence of the book well, apart from the weather. And I say that coming from Ireland myself. Parker is a frequent visitor to Ireland and knows it well. Present Limerick residents will resent the negative portrayal but that was the past.
The Green Mile (1999)
An uplifting movie - rare these days
Excellent movie. A little bit long but left most in tears at the end. They don't make many movies like this these days. A redemption for Tom Hanks after "You've got mail". Michael Duncan is a great find. Strange cameo by Harry Dean Stanton given his abilities.
