Citizen Kane
Your Review
What many people believe to be the best movie of all time. I thought this movie was pretty good. It kept you guessing the whole movie, an odd sort of mystery story. The only thing that I didn't like is that you were always thinking that the term Rosebud would be something a little more interesting. But that is what made the movie so intriguing. People are trying so hard to figure out C.F. Kane and the man that he was that something as small as Rosebud in his prosperous life seems almost uninteresting to people that may be concerned. An excellent movie.
It's A Wonderful Life
Video Clip Your Review
Just an amazing film. Not much else to say about it than that. Jimmy Stewart in yet another great performance. This film sort of takes a turn about three quarters of the way through and never looks back. This is not just the normal Christmas movie. It is just a Christmas movie at the end, it is a movie about hope and seeing how wonderful life it when how wonderful it is isn't looking you in the face. One of the most original pieces that has been copied over and over.
Doctor Zhivago
Your Review
I thought that this was a pretty good tale about a man who is married and he falls in love with a woman who in turn falls for him. This is a story about a poet who even though you don't really see too much of the poetry, he is supposed to be a great poet that is shut down by the government. This love story takes place during a revolution and this revolution separates Zhivago from his family and lover many times. A good tale but a little long at times, the music is wonderful as in a lot of the long great classics. Overall Rating: 8.0
Being There
Video Clip Your Review
I thought that this movie was funny but in a very mature way. It is not the type of comedy that many people really enjoy but it is still a very funny comedy. This story is about a man who is illiterate and is never allowed to leave his house. I would assume that he is in his thirties or fourties and he worked at his own house as a gardner. The way that people mistake his ideas is not too hard to believe but just enough. I thought that the actor did a great job acting in such a monotone way the whole movie. I thought how lucky he was just was enough, not too much not too little. Overall Rating: 7.3

This movie was absolutely hysterical. It stopped from falling into the normal clichés of a bad team that comes back to win the championship. It is a funny movie about a team that draws fans for its aggressivesness on the ice. The three dorks who end up being great fighters are the key to the movie. When they start playing this movie will make you fall out of your chair. I was a little skeptical about Paul Newman being very funny but I found that he is not the funny one, it is his surrounding teammates. Overall Rating: 7.9
The 39 Steps
Video Clip Your Review
I thought that this just adds to the list of Alfred Hitchcock masterpieces. I think that this movie is brilliant because it reveals just enough to have you keep watching. It is a story of a man eluding the law to find why his acquintance was murdered in his home. To do this he must find out what secret is being smuggled out of the country and why. Only the end of the movie answers the questions that you sit there wondering about, what is the 39 steps? Overall Rating: 8.1

I think that this is an outstanding movie. It sort of reminds me of a Forrest Gump type movie. Jimmy Stewart just plays a character that just makes you feel good. I love how this movie sort of leaves you to assume if Jimmy Stewart is actually crazy or maybe we are all crazy. But the best thing about this movie is how it shows how someone should live their life, being happy. And sometimes you need to get away from reality to be happy because the world can get confusing. A movie like this can take you to that place. Overall Rating: 9.2
