MOVIE REVIEWS
Ed, one of our Creative Art Group members, enjoys writing film reviews for current pictures. As 2006 drives into it's 4th quarter, here is a list of Top 10 Movies in theatres and on rental so far for the year. Of course the list will continue to change as the year comes to an end -- but here are Ed's reviews to date:
#10 AMERICAN DREAMZ -- A wickedly funny satire in which "American Idol" and President Bush are made fun of. Dennis Quaid is "spot-on" as he plays the bumbling leader. This film also features some good music and the forever interesting Hugh Grant!
#9 TRUST THE MAN -- David Duchovny leads a fine cast in this witty, "Woody Allen" type film about love and marriage in New York City.
#8 FIREWALL -- Harrison Ford once again saves the day in this entertaining blend of high technology, suspense and action.
#7 THE RITCHIE BOYS -- A powerful documentary about a group of German Jews who immigrated to the U.S. shortly before WW2 and studied to be expert interrogators of German POWs for the American Army.
#6 BEFORE THE FALL -- A young man's journey into an elite school for Nazi youth is portrayed with all of the hope, cruelty and eventual sadness such an experience produced.
#5 SCOOP -- Proof once again that Woody Allen is back in form with this witty mystery shot in London.
#4 AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH -- A highly entertaining mix of environmental knowledge is brought to the screen by Al Gore. If he could have been half as relaxed and charming during his presidential run he would have won by a landslide.
#3 JOYEUX NOEL -- An extremely moving account of the true story of how Allied and German troops decided to celebrate Christmas together in 1914 and the consequences their two days of peace produced. The courage it must have taken to stand up in a trench with enemy guns pointed at one and proclaim a truce is truly extraordinary.
#2 THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA -- Insightful and witty look at the "dog-eat-dog" world of high fashion.
#1 THANK YOU FOR SMOKING -- Fast rising Canadian actor Aaron Eckhart is perfectly cast as the fast talking, good looking spokesperson for the tobacco lobby. This humorous social satire speaks the truth on some important social issues of the day.
There you have it.
Ed's Top10 list for 2006 so far. Now get out to the theatres and see what YOU think!
