United 93 (2006)

Every American should see this movie

[10/10 · 7 May 2006]

Like everyone else, I had thought that this movie was going to be yet another shameless exploit from Hollywood. How wrong I was.

This movie isn't about political agendas, this movie is about what really happened when our nation was in danger and American passengers on flight 93 took a stand. You will be shaking with anger, overcome with emotion, and filled with pride. You will experience the terror that went through everyone's mind that day and you will also feel a sense of pride in knowing that the terrorists were not expecting what happened on United Airlines 93.

This movie is quite possibly one of the best films you could see in your lifetime.

Easy Virtue (1927)

A powerful movie made during a time when divorce wasn't discussed

[7/10 · 3 May 2006]

I will admit that at times this movie seems slow. However, if you take a look deeper at the time frame in which this movie was presented you can easily see the risk that Hitchcock took. In the movie the main character is divorced and disgraced by her horrible husband. When she tries to regain some normalcy by marrying again, the ghosts of her past come to prevent any happiness in her future. Once again she is shamed, disgraced, and helpless prey for the photographers and newspapers who use her high social standing and demise to sell their goods.

A very compelling look into hypocrisy and judgment in a time when both were at their highest peak.
