Indochine (1992)
This movie deserves all the awards it got
Just watched this movie on VHS on a TV. It was not like seeing it for the first time on a large screen in a theater. Watched it in French without subtitle, because I am bilingual. Probably that is helps to like the movie. The plot is a bit stretched, but the historical perspective is very good. It serves as a good educational tool, to understand the reasons behind the defeat of France and after that the USA. The scenery is just incredible. Deneuve is a great actress and the other actors too including even minor supporting actors. It is not an action pack movie with a rapid pace; but the plot is so interesting, it is never boring.
War of the Worlds (2005)
How come they did such a lame movie?
Honestly, this big budget movie has so many incredible flaws it becomes a joke. This is why many purists do not like Hollywood movies. They push all kind of bad stuff in our throat with lots of advertising. The part in the basement is way too long and lacks any credibility, based on the rest of the movie. The two kids makes you want to get a vasectomy, in case you ever father something like them. After you see all electronic device stop, even a wristwatch, you have people making movies of the machines! Spielberg should read the book GROUPTHINK or what happen to groups whey they are following their leader too blindly. What I like the most about this film is that I rented it for a mere 1$. I am sorry for all those who paid big money to see such a movie.
