Set in the Bronx in 1964, Doubt centers on the battle between a nun (Meryl Streep) and a charismatic priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who she believes is abusing a black student. The performances by the two protagonists are stunning. A spellbinding movie.
A touching movie with intense scenes and superb acting that is highly recommended for lovers of drama and intrigue. The performances of Anne Hathaway and Patrick Wilson, together with the rest of the fabulous cast, make this not completely original story a gem to watch.
A young therapist (Anne Hathaway) is assigned to work with a group of survivors of a plane crash. But after her clients begin to disappear one at a time, she finds herself embroiled in a mystery to which one of the survivors may hold the key. The ending reminds me of The Sixth Sense.
As a devoted fan of the “Dragonball” series of comics and cartoons, I am truly disappointed that the film doesn’t stick to the original story. While it does reproduce some of the more clichéd elements of the original, they are done poorly. A huge disappointment.
This unappealing version of the popular Japanese manga by Akira Toriyama follows young warrior Son Goku (Justin Chatwin) as he sets out to collect a set of seven magical orbs and do battle with the evil King Piccolo.
This is an exceptional film (even knowing how it ends) about a plot by senior German officers to assassinate Hitler. The first-class acting of the star cast, led by Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, and the direction of Bryan Singer make this film a must-see.
Based on the true story of a group of disillusioned Nazi officers that hatches a plan to kill Hitler during the height of World War II, this politically charged war film features a star-studded cast. Tom Cruise produces a compelling performance as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg.
