In the Land of Blood and Honey

Reviewed on Apr 07 2014

Angelina Jolie did a wonderful job of showing the horrors and realism of war, although in the kingdom of God to come, many of the scenes could have been done by "the art of suggestion." Instead, she shows rape several times. Violence, unfortunately, is the horrible truth of war, where men lose their moral standards and do things based upon hatred and fear. She captured this kind of horrible violence excellently. The acting by all was very good. The movie is sobering, and I warn you, it may be...

Bab'Aziz
The Prince That Contemplated His Soul

Reviewed on Sep 02 2013

This very beautifully made spiritual film has much wisdom and beautiful cinematography and many interesting characters of the desert and tribes people. It shows the respect of eldership and the need for elders and shows how close the people who live close to the land are to the Creator—many who live very simple but peaceful and harmonious lives with each other, as long as the influence of Western civilization does not touch their minds or hearts. The French Director Nacer Khemir's interview...

Day Of The Falcon

Reviewed on Jul 17 2013

I don't know why this film did not even come to the Tucson area (possibly because it was made overseas), but it is a great film about the beginning of the oil industry in the early 1900s in Arabia. Oil was found by an American company out of Houston, Texas, on a piece of land that the tribes had designated common area after many wars. Two main chieftains—one played by Antonio Banderas (the more greedy and less noble Emir) and the very noble Sultan chieftain (played by Mark Strong)—have ...

Sliver Linings Playbook

Reviewed on Jul 02 2013

This is a very well-made film that has both the ethnocentric wonderful qualities of a neighborhood in Philadelphia combined with the mental health issues in two people's lives, who come together and find each other through their own struggles in life. Basically, many starseed are labeled bipolar and other psychological disorders because they can't deal with modern society and the evil in it. They can't play the game of compromise and narrow-mindedness and parental control. Breaking free of ...

Love in the Time of Cholera

Reviewed on Apr 08 2013

Love In The Time Of Cholera is a sleeper film that should have won the Academy Award in the United States, but you know how it is—it's all political and they never really select the best picture or actors and actresses. Here the young Javier Bardem (who plays Florentino Ariza) falls in love as a pre-teen with Fermina (played by Giovanna Mezzogiorno), but when they are old enough to marry, the father (played by John Leguizamo) keeps them apart because the then young Florentino is ...
