Life is Beautiful

This is probably one of the best movies that I have seen in a little while. I thought that it was totally original and insightful. It takes a totally different look at concentration camps and the story of a man who composed himself to help his child. This movie won three academy awards and there is no doubt in my mind it was worth it. The acting was outstanding. Roberto Benigni won best actor for his portrayal of a man who falls in love and then gets taken to a concentration camp. In the concentration camp he raises the spirits of his son to stop him from having the tragic experience and keep him naïve of the world outside.

I liked this movie. Not so much for the story about a man who wants to get custody of his daughter but instead for the character that Sean Penn plays and the music in the movie. Sean Penn character is very sensitive and at the same time very humorous, along with his many friends. They all are very good at quoting movie scenes and Beatles facts. I think that in your mind you think that the little girl should have someone else helping to take care of her but at the same time Penn touches your heart. It is almost as if you yourself dont even know who to root for.
Finding Graceland

I thought that this was a pretty good movie. It is about a guy who thinks he is Elvis or maybe he doesnt but he just does it for purpose. They never really tell you for sure in the movie. But his perception on life, though crazy to many helps a couple of people really straighten out theirs. I think that fact that Harvey Keitel looks nothing like Elvis in real life or in the movie really adds to it. If he was just some dressed up Elvis freak the role would not be so convincing.
Kingdom Come
Your Review 
A terrible movie about a family that cant seem to get along while they are trying to plan the burial of their father. I just dont see many parts of this movie that are even worth talking about. The only good that I can find in the movie is how sometimes relationships get bad and sometimes the littlest things about love can make them come back together. But for the most part I would tell you not to waste your time watching this totally annoying movie.

I thought that this movie was weird but interesting the first two hours. I was not really sure where it was going to go from there and I was trying to figure out how they were going to tie the movie into the beginning scenes. When it started to rain frogs the movie sort of became clear. It is a movie about how terrible things happen in this world and that you can make bad decisions, but all these things happen and the world keeps turning. There are terrible things that happen in this world and dwelling on past events that are inevitable ruin lives.
K-Pax

I thought this movie was very good contrary to some of the things that I have heard from other critics. I thought that Kevin Spacey was the perfect person to play the role of Prot and Jeff Bridges does a great job as well. What I liked the most about this movie is that they leave it wide open for you to decide whether or not Prot is really from the planet K-PAX or if he is just a troubled human. I choose to believe that he is from another planet and that he chooses to take over a man's body to help others and that man.
The Spanish Prisoner

I thought that this movie was very good. I went into it not really knowing what the movie was about at all. And about halfway through it I realized that I really needed to pay attention to this movie. I thought that the con job was outstanding and it really left you wondering. I guess looking back at the movie now I can see why Steve Martin didn't want the girls camera also. I was thinking that during the movie but I could not figure out why.

I really enjoyed this movie. I thought that Andy Garcia played a great role but I just don't understand how a man whose business is struggling so much that he can still afford to wear all of those designer suits. The end of the movie starts to trick you because it leads you to believe that the men did not die. I do not choose to believe this. I think they did die and this is what they would have had in a perfect life. Steve Buscemi probably plays the quietest role that he will ever play for the rest of his life.
The Pelican Brief Video Clip Your Review 
I thought this was a good movie about how some things can be around the president and some things can really hurt a president. I thought that this movie was good in that it showed how one woman could mess up the government and solve a crime on her own. Julia Roberts role in this movie was a lot like her role in Erin Brockovich. My only question is why is this girl so hard to find when they need to save the president and the other people they are trying to kill it is so easy to find them. Contact Video Clip Your Review 
Probably one of the better movies that I have seen in a while. I thought the whole movie you could really feel Jodie Foster's hope that something must exist in outer space. I also thought that they did a good job of not making it little green men or some kind of totally superior life form but instead a peaceful group of people that were interested in Contact. I also thought it was good about how they questioned Foster which left you guessing if her trip actually happened. Then that is sort of cleared up but not totally that was a great touch.
