300 (2006)
THIS is a movie, THIS is art...
I usually refrain from voicing my opinion too much, because really... Who cares?? I don't feel as if I need to convince everyone against their will to conform to my view on most subjects, especially movies... However, I must express myself in this case.
This film... is what a film should be. PERIOD.
I just got back from viewing "300" in a stuffy theater, every seat was full and the air was thick with the heat of a room packed with others. THIS WAS IT, I couldn't believe it! I had been pumping myself up for this movie SO MUCH, I can't tell you. EVERYONE thought I was going to be SO disappointed. I bought the beautiful graphic novel and the book "300: The art of the film" and I viewed the preview COUNTLESS times... STILL, I must say, I am COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY! I am so satisfied with this entertainment... Gorgeous cinematography, astounding drama, jaw-dropping C.G.I, magnificent battle sequences (actually, beautiful) and all filmed in a single room in Montreal (save for a few minor add-ons)!! I will never be able to explain in words FURTHER how outrageously divine this film was... So, I will stop and merely say one thing... This movie will rock you at a soul-deep level, it is masterful and sheerly Glorious. IN ADDITION, I am disgusted too see some people sell themselves out by completely disregarding this film for so little... and for no reason... Because this is beyond matters of OPINION... It is a universal truth that "300" is in a league of its own (after being in a league of its own in the comic realm) AND it is a profound breathtaking work of ART... If you deny this, you deny yourself...

These Girls (2005)
VERY entertaining
I had the Pleasure of attending the Toronto international Film Festival and the extended pleasure of watching the World premier of "These Girls". I must say I am thoroughly impressed at the work of the team and ecstatic at the fact that this movie made history as the first New Brunswick film in TIFF history.
John Hazlett's directing technique and Alex Vendler's Cinematography made for excellent artsy eye candy. The film had a pleasing flow with nearly flawless editing and the talent were a most entertaining team.
David Boreanaz's work never surprises or excites me, however, his performance in this comedic role has given me a new outlook on his work... I quite liked this bumbling burnt-out character. The three girls pulled their own as well and presented terrific chemistry with each other and Boreanaz. Also, it is to my understanding that most other roles besides the four were played by local talent who were by all means wonderfully talented.
"These Girls" will do well as a result of Boreanaz's fan base and the success of the whole team to make a VERY entertaining film.
