The Passion of the Christ (2004)
Amazing, Very Powerful
This is one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. Be warned, though, that it's not the sort of movie you'd want to rent to sit back and relax with on a Saturday night - it's a very accurate depiction of the torture, crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.
Mel Gibson is an amazing director... everything is perfect, down to the camera angles, the lighting, and everything. The first scene of the movie is amazing lightingwise.
Casting was wonderful. In fact, all of the things that one would write about in a movie review were 100% perfect... plot, casting, acting, storyline, effects, etc.
As for the debate over it, my advice would be to see it for yourself and form your own opinion. If you want to see what Jesus did to forgive us, watch this movie. If you're not up for a very gory depiction of an important event, better rent another movie.
9.8 and two thumbs up!
Invisible Dad (1998)
Just Plain Sad
When I borrowed this movie, I wasn't expecting a high-quality performance, but this was just sad.
Most of the acting was so unbelievably bad that you couldn't easily get into this movie if you tried. There's nothing quite like seeing a kid announce things like "Oh no! My Dad is invisible!" or "I wonder what this does?" in the same monotone that one might announce traffic advisories over the radio with. There are some good actors, but they are wasted on smaller parts.
The story is decent, though it would be fairly easy to guess, considering that there aren't too many real plot changes. Lots of holes, too. For example, the Dad is invisible, and the inventor figures out what part is needed to make him visible again. So the boy goes and steals the part from an electronics store. Couldn't he just ask his Dad for the cash?
This shows up in the Comedy category, but most of the comedy in this movie was fairly dumb, like the Invisible Dad taking off his clothes while invisible and then almost reappearing naked during a meeting, or walking around with his head covered at all times. Funny at first, but it gets old.
2/5, because it is watchable, and it's one of those movies that are funny in their own way... like the monotone recitation of lines.
Roman Holiday (1953)
One of the best movies ever!
In my opinion, this is one of the best classic movies ever.
It stars Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. Just those two names should be enough to make you want to watch this movie. :-)
The story is great, it's about a princess (Hepburn) who visits Rome, Italy and meets a reporter (Peck) who wants an exclusive story about her. Pretending that he doesn't know who she is, he hangs around with her hoping to get his scoop. But the plot quickly changes when they fall in love.
This movie's called a Romantic Comedy because it's good as a romance and as a comedy... there are plenty of funny scenes, but you don't find yourself wondering why they bothered with the romance like in a lot of other comedy movies.
Great camera work, too.
It's Not Rated, but I would give it a G. There's nothing dirty in here, and no foul language.
