I am Legend
I thought this movie would be a lot like every other "end of the world" movie. It wasn't. It focused more on the psyche of the main character. It was fun to watch his survival techniques. The suspense was great in this movie especially when he encountered "the hive" of creatures. The dog added a special touch to the movie. The dog kept him sane in his solitude.
Paprika
The animation in this movie was very cool. I could watch this movie again. It wasn't like anything I had ever seen before and I like that. Paprika was pretty hot...for a cartoon. I really like the techno soundtrack music...it was prolly my second favorite part after Paprika.
Minority Report
This narrative of this movie seemed very original to me. The idea of seeing a crime before it happened and being able to stop it was entertaining. This is great action film but it also made you think too. Tom Cruise played the part well as a pre-crime advocate who had lost his own son to abduction. The film utilizes flashbacks to help us understand Tom Cruises background and why is so passionate about pre-crime. The narrative moves along nicely with many hubs and satellites to keep you into the movie.
The Shining
This movie is a great psychological thriller. As far as I'm concerned Stanley Kubrick is a genious. The mise en scene is outstanding in this film. It creates an erie, creepy mood. The different camera shots really get you involved in this movie. I don't know of any movie that has better tracking shots. This film looks great...it is ahead of its time in picture quality...can't quite put my finger on it but the colors are very vibrant and pop out at you.
A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind is....a beautiful movie. This is one of the best psychological disorder movies I have ever seen. Russell Crowe plays the part amazingly. Who would have thought a scizophrenic could be so lovable. Jennifer Connelly is beautiful and amazing in her role as a wife to a schizophrenic. The soundtrack is also beautiful and brings you along with the stroyline.

Heat
This is my favorite heist movie. The gun shootout scence is so crazy but still believable. The shootout sounds so real as if you are really there. Heat is the first time Deniro and Pacino appear on screen together and they don't let down.
Water
This film brought some major social issues in India to the forefront. I didn't realize there were so many widows that need to be cared for. It nice to see that there is finally some change occuring and that is being more widely accepted for widow to remarry.
