The Green Mile (1999)
finest and most emotional films ever
After seeing thousands of movies one can become cynical and jaded about even some of the best there is to offer. Now in the wake of viewing Green Mile, I will forever see movies differently. being a manager of a movie theatre I don't always get a chance to see everything that I run, but have been able to see this 3 times in the first week! each time seeing it I find new emotions pulled from somewhere deep inside. Green Mile is a pleasure to watch from top to bottom and all the nooks and crannies in between, and a credit to everyone who worked on it. sprawling, enchanting, beautiful, harsh, horrific, and most of all human. I truly mean every word I can possibly say about this movie. In the past I could never give a straight answer on any one movie that I thought was the best or brightest example of acting, cinematography, story, directing , music, etc.... but in the future if the question arises, I'll go out and buy that person this movie. I would love to give this film to everyone I meet, so that maybe they can be be filled with all of the emotions it evoked in me. I guess what I should really be saying is "Thank you Stephen King, Frank Darabont, Tom Hanks, and every single person that helped bring this wonderful movie to the public"
Swimming with Sharks (1994)
the finest "boss from hell" movie ever made
This was the story of my old boss, and since I wouldn't act out my revenge I pop this in and thank the lord for envelopes and hot sauce. If I ever meet Kevin Spacey I will give him a big hug for his huge talents and then pop him one for playing such a bastard as Buddy Ackerman. No matter how many times I watch this my gut wrenches and I break out into a sweat, but with Spacey's acting it's not a problem.
