Hotel Rwanda, Top Gun, and Mayhem!

Hotel Rwanda (2004) - (8/10) - I really did not expect to like this movie..But holy crap it sucked me in and kept my full attention all the way through to the end! It's about the decisions and actions of a hotel manager that saved the lives of many during the Rwandan Genocide. Intense.

Top Gun (1986) - (5/10) - I'm a fan of the recent Tom Cruise (past 10 years or so) and not the 80's Cruise...I'm also a fan of Bruckheimer....But this movie just didn't hit me in a any way. I didn't even get into it during the fight scenes...oh well.


Suburban Mayhem (2006) - (3.9/10)


Finding Neverland (2004) - (5/10) - At least 3 people have told me how "great" this movie is...I just don't understand why? Yeah..Depp is good as usual and the premise of the origin of Peter Pan is a good one but the movie just didn't really entertain me. Maybe it's just not my style...?


Mary Antoinette (2006) - (6.2/10) - Another movie I didn't think I would really like but did any way. I think to really "get" this movie you have to give it your full attention when watching it - no browsing the internet or talking or etc. It's the subtleties of the characters and story elements that make this movie worthwhile - along with the music of course!
