Opposites attract
PostedOctober 18, 2010
An entertaining cast, script and storyline; I often wondered if anyone with a “Top-Secret” clearance ever really retired. I think not, or rather, not as one expects to retire. A classic “opposites attract” and fill a void for and in the other romantic theme at the center of story.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Inept Socializing
PostedOctober 6, 2010
The film represents the socially inept attempt at enabling socializing in the absence of one’s innate ability to do so. An amalgamation of all that’s wrong with America, perhaps the World, emblematic of the breakdown of society and what is and likely remains of our future as a race; more remains. A tragic depiction of a shallow myopic, pathetic reality.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fiat Banking 101
PostedSeptember 27, 2010
Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Federal Reserve Bank of NY, et al and F.A.S.B.’s Mark-to-Mkt accounting rule (applied amid media-driven panic) and hysteria erupts creating what Oliver Stone brilliantly depicted and Michael Douglas portrayed so well in “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” .
Slight- of – hand and FIAT Monetary Systems at work; The Goal?
De-facto repeal of Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, recreating the enterprise monopolies first created in 1913, (Federal Reserve Act of 1913) by destroying them to re- monopolize and now in wake of crisis, with the Federal Reserve Bank of NY, et al, reigning supreme financial regulator status, once again.
Turn the clock back folks, its 1914 all over again. Thank you Oliver Stone!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Politically correct...
PostedAugust 9, 2010
Nice job of illuminating financial machinations in an action film and reminding - informing - us of who "they" are and how "they" view us as just the other guys.
Great metaphor for the financial crisis.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Enigmatically entertaining
PostedAugust 24, 2009
Brad Pitt demonstrates his portrayal diversity in his role as Aldo. He filled the role with belief and unexpected humor that made this movie all the more entertaining. Brad Pitt achieved a new dynamic in this movie and he makes Tarantino’s movie.
Another masterpiece from Quentin Tarantino!
Cast, settings and sounds all quintessentially Tarantino in a non-stop, suspenseful thriller that carries viewers quickly through more then 2 hours. It doesn’t feel as long as it is.
As bloody and violent as it is, it wasn’t hard to watch, even the scalping. Viewers might find themselves laughing at some of the most odd/unusual moments. A bit paradoxical, it catches you off guard.
I’d see it again and will.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Delightful
PostedAugust 10, 2009
Meryl Streeps portrayal of Julia Childs was an act of mastery. Stanley Tucci was wonderfully supportive too. A delightful storyline and unique juxtaposition of Julie and Julia; a side of Julia Childs we never knew. Funny where one wouldn’t expect; interesting and captivating as no one (myself included) could imagine. Go see it without any expectations, and be pleasantly surprised with a fulfilling Movie experience.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It’s not all that simple…
PostedAugust 4, 2009
Guy’s and Gal’s, for millennia the age old question:
Are Men from Mars and Women from Venus?
Once you see this movie the question will echo once more and again. Paradoxically, one cannot exist without the other, realistically, the lure between Man and Woman, is as old as evolution itself.
This movie takes that question and answers it in the extreme.
Albeit, depicting some reality along the way.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Hilarious
PostedJuly 19, 2009
Sandra Bullock as we've never seen her, literally; in all manner of her character portrayal. A Strong cast and great scenery carries a predictable story into hilarious moments. I'd see it again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Who were the real Public Enemies?
PostedJuly 12, 2009
Quintessential Depp, at his diverse best.
One Depression era tale about lawlessness and it’s romanticism about the real villains Dillinger and others were trying to punish for having destroyed the American economy. What many now believe the Banks have done again recreating Bank Monopolies broken up in 1933 (year movie starts) 20 years after the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was created ushering into existence the first destructive Banking Monopoly in America. Now, in the wake of recent financial events, putting America on threshold of the same Monopoly Dillinger and others sought to punish for destroying America then.
It’s always been a great story; Depp portrayed Dillinger and the romanticism of the time and circumstances well.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
