Passchendaele (2008)
Amazing Film
This was and is one of the very best war-time films we have ever enjoyed. The writing and directing, we believe were great. Realistic dialogue and incredibly real special effects.
It was and is one of the very best movies we have ever enjoyed. Although it has some all too heart-breaking moments that happen in war situations, there are beautiful moments of love and compassion. In particular, there is a scene in which a Canadian soldier is thrown onto a barbed-wire fence due to an explosion and he is suspended in a "crucifixion like" pose. Soldiers on both sides stop the battle long enough for the young soldier to be retrieved by the Canadian side. It is an extremely emotional scene - so well written and directed.
Paul Gross should be commended for an outstanding film. We don't believe it has gotten the amount of attention it deserves.
The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)
Enterntaining, Funny and Intelligent
We loved it.
Truly a fun, funny, intelligent, entertaining experience with the benefit of very talented actors who are able to perform equally well regardless of whether comedy or drama. As my spouse pointed out - we wonder if the title turned a few people off from either viewing or buying the movie....if the actors had not been who they were, I don't know if we would have gotten the movie - based on the title and lack of advertising in our area.......Anyhow, all of us in our family love it and have seen it a number of times over. We have recommended it to a number of friends who have totally enjoyed it also.
Flip Phone (2003)
Flip Phone (short) - excellent, real and funny
Gotta give it a 10/10...the writing & acting wonderful...the story so real life. Three friends who have spent many years knowing each other - actually pretty much growing up together - while driving to be at the wedding, these bridesmaids are relating their thoughts and experiences about their mutual friend who is about to be married and the intended husband (whom they have also known for many years). could see this happening just the way it did. In many ways, it reminded me of a trip that I was on with friends and that is why it seemed so realistic to me. My spouse and I totally enjoyed the movie. You will understand why it works so well as a "short". Great ending. A treat to watch.....
