Lost in Translation (2003)

Over Hyped and Awful

[6/10 · 17 October 2003]

Director's last name is selling this movie.

Bill Murray was great, funny as usual. Scarlett Johansson was sweet, easy to fell inlove with.The location/scenery, Tokyo, Japan was amazing.

Besides bill Murray's great acting there is nothing to this movie. Just one boring movie.I mean nothing really happened, So there is nothing to expect in this movie. At the end of the movie I came to realize that I was "Lost in Translation".

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, simply garbage!!!

Far from Heaven (2002)

Too Predictable

[3 December 2002]

I expected something more exciting, dramatic, full of energy, if you know what I mean, the movie fell short of my expectations. I expected a better movie than that. Everything is way too predictable. Dennis Quaid and Julianne Moore did a good job, NOT ACADEMY WORTHY. Advise, wait to rent. 6.9/10

Road to Perdition (2002)

This is A Great Movie

[9/10 · 22 July 2002]

Watched it last weekend..

One of the best movie in years!!! No disappointments, Tom Hanks Magnificento, Paul Newman was spectacular! Jude Law was great also, one of his best perfomance; and Stanley Tucci was terrific also. Cinematography was fantastic.

It's a great movie!

Tuareg: The Desert Warrior (1984)

Good Movie

[7/10 · 16 July 2002]

I don't know how many times I have watched this movie when I was a kid; It was one of my favorite movies. Action packed and I mean a good action flick.

It's worth watching!

The Power of One (1992)

Ye gotta See this!

[20 March 2002]

Good film, Powerful and very touching. Ye'll find love, racism, injustice and brutality in this movie!The story will touch your heart, it will show how cruel apartheid was. If ye haven't watched the movie, give it chance.

Morgan Freeman should have got an award. He was superb!

In short, it's good movie, give it a chance!!!!

Lumumba (2000)

Gotta See This

[8/10 · 19 December 2001]

Good Movie, acting was terrific especially from Eriq Ebouaney(Lumumba)and very well directed.

It also shows how Lumumba was cornered by the Belgians, U S A and United Nations and how they labelled him a `communist' to scare people as they did to all the Honest True African leaders like Nkrumah, Kenyatta, Nyerere and many others. It shows how western countries preach democracy while they have something else on the back of their minds. It is a story of injustice, struggle and brutality.

It shows how Lumumba couldn't control his people, yes they were his people, but before we put the blame on him, was he getting enough if any from the people he appointed in his government like Mobutu? Or his colleague had other things in their minds, to find out go and see the movie! Certainly Mobutu did, went on to loot the country for the next 35 yrs, before he was overthrown and fled the country. Died a billionaire.

Some flaws: There was too little explanation how the man (Lumumba) got to rise in the first place. Also there should have been more explanation about the country, Congo Kinshasa (after independence), now known as Democratic Republic of Congo formerly known as Zaire when it was under Mobutu. There should have been an explanation why he (Lumumba) couldn't keep the second largest country in Africa in one piece. And also what was going on with Tshombe and Katanga . Just heads up if you gonna watch the movie Tshombe was controlling the Katanga region which (if I am not mistaken) is the number one copper producer in the world.

In all it is a good movie to see. You will learn something new about Africa, it's leaders and it's people and probably will open your eyes why this continent is ridden with wars.
