TITANIC (Theatrical Release USA 1997)

Ben Meyers’ rating—4.8|5.0 Starsìììì

Titanic shows the directing and writing talents of James Cameron. Twenty years later, it has not dated itself in any way and remains completely re-watchable with no loss of its original power or impact. It’s a long film—195 minutes—but, that daunting length only enhances its appeal. It’s one of those films you never want to end.

Storyline

The story of the Titanic is told through the hopeless love triangle between Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), Rose Dewitt Bukater (Kate Winslet), and Cal Hockley (Billy Zane).

Additional Thanks

THE COLOR PURPLE (Theatrical Release USA 1985)

Ben Meyers’ rating—4.8|5.0 Starsìììì

The Color Purple becomes an outstanding tribute to the directing style of Steven Spielberg. The film richly packs itself with powerful, undulating waves of life's dreams, disappointments, justice, injustice, desires fulfilled, and desires thwarted. Spielberg captures life's voice. Danny Glover and Whoopi Goldberg play off each other in such a complete and natural way that viewers are unaware of the terrific attention to detail that each scene relies upon to tell their life story. Watch for Laurence Fishburne and Oprah Winfrey in this movie.

Storyline

Two sisters Celie (Deserita Jackson) and Nettie Harris (Akosua Bustia) live with a sexually abusive Father, Pa Harris (Leonard Jackson). Farmer Albert (Danny Glover) choses the youngest sister for marriage, but Pa Harris refuses and gives the oldest daughter to Albert. Albert agrees, takes her home, and treats her as poorly as her father did. Nettie comes to stay with Celie and the story is off and running as lives begin to unfold in a series of dramatic events that make it seem that a happy ending is impossible.

Additional Thanks

THE ASTRONAUT FARMER (Theatrical Release USA 2007)

Ben Meyers’ rating—4.6|5.0 Starsìììì

The Astronaut Farmer—inspirational—is all about the importance of having a dream and never giving up. Despite losing money at box office, this film is a sleeper that will make dollars over time. It details the process that all dreamers go through including the humbling experience of complete and total failure. This is a great family show. Kudos to a film well done.

CODE NAME: THE CLEANER (Theatrical Release USA 2007)

Code Name: The Cleaner has an ‘I’ve been here before feeling’ to its story. Everything in this film is in place but it fails to be outstanding.

THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (Theatrical Release USA 2004)

Ben Meyers’ rating—4.6|5.0 Starsìììì

The Manchurian Candidate uses the classic storyline of the brainwashed assassin activated by a certain red flag to commit heinous acts. This is a suspense-filled film that uses an all-star cast to keep the pace going. If you are looking for suspense, this film will fill the bill nicely.

Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia

Storyline

Major Bennett ‘Ben’ Marco (Denzel Washington) keeps having memories that Sergeant First Class Raymond Shaw (Live Schreiber), while under monitoring, kills two of their comrade in arms during the Gulf War.

THREE FUGITIVES (Theatrical Release USA 1989)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Three Fugitives—genuinely comical—uses the talents of Nick Nolte and Martin Short to tell its story.  Other critics have rated this film as a flop, but it generated fair box office dollar returns, has great to good acting, and a perfect script. It provides terrific entertainment for the teen/adult.

Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia

Storyline

Lucas (Nick Nolte), just released from prison for armed robbery, is picked up by Dugan (James Earl Jones), a policeman he has known for awhile. Lucas asks Dugan to stop by a bank so he can get cash for the money he earned in prison. An amateur robber, Ned Perry (Martin Short), walks in and holds the bank up, and Dugan assumes Lucas and Ned planned the robbery together. The story is on as a gun misfires and Lucas and Ned flee for their lives with police in pursuit.

DRESSED TO KILL (Theatrical Release USA 1941)

Ben Meyers’ rating—3.4|5.0 Starsììì

Dressed to Kill—a murder mystery—satisfies the seasoned audience, but will fall short of expectations for the modern audience. It delivers a straight forward storyline that, in its time, would have been appreciated by the mystery fan; but becomes almost laughable by today’s standards. It performs as a B-grade movie with poor to fair acting and a script that needs a serious rewrite. It does not compare on any level to the old Charlie Chan mysteries or to the Thin Man stories.

Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia

Storyline

It is Detective Michael Shayne’s (Lloyd Nolan) wedding day. He meets his bride-to-be Joanne La Marr (Mary Beth Hughes) in the Hotel du Nord, hears a woman scream, goes to investigate, and finds two murders. As the detective probes deeper, he finds more dead bodies than solutions.

Additional Thanks

Thank you to Director Eugene Forde for directing efforts. Thank you to Executive Producer Sol M. Wurtzel for making the film possible.

Maybe. If you are hardcore murder mystery fan, this film works for a fill-in-the-time flick.

THE SIXTH SENSE (Theatrical Release USA 1999)

Ben Meyers’ rating—4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

The Sixth Sense bears the unmistakable M. Night Shyamalan hallmark from its suspenseful beginning to its astonishing ending. The supernatural thriller casts Bruce Willis with the highly talented Haley Joel Osment  to create a film that audiences will not soon forget.

Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia

Storyline

Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis), a child psychologist, has just received his first award for his work in child psychology. When he comes home he is confronted with an older version of a child he had once treated, Vincent Grey (Donnie Wahlberg), who shoots Dr. Malcolm Crowe and then commits suicide. A year later, an apparently recovered Dr. Crowe reviews the records of Cole Sear (Hayley Joel Osment), a young boy who apparently has similar challenges as Vincent Grey. Dr. Crowe talks with Cole and the story is on as Dr. Crowe attempts to be a better listener and believer in what a child patient tells him.

Additional Thanks

Thank you to Director M. Night Shyamalan for his directing efforts. Thank you to Executive Producer Sam Mercer making the film possible.

THE QUEEN (Theatrical Release British 2006)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

The Queen turns itself into a type of explication of the Queen’s handling of Princess Diana’s death. The film is worth a watch, not only due to the outstanding portrayal of the Queen by Helen Mirren, but also because it reveals a side of the Queen that one rarely contemplates beyond the façade of glamour and rectitude—a person with great love of the outdoors, a good understanding of mechanical work, long-standing experience with a very large variety of England’s prime ministers, and tremendous concern for the welfare of country as well as of family. Casting picked James Cromwell to play the Queen's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip, and Michael Sheen to play Prime Minister Blair.

Queen Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren) faces the introduction of England’s new prime minister, Tony Blair, and becomes a high public profile figure as the announcement comes of Princess Diana’s death.

THE LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER * (Theatrical Release Hong Kong 1994)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

The Legend of Drunken Master—a sequel to Jackie Chan’s 1978 release Drunken Master—does not match the entertainment value of the first story. The first story involves itself more in the art of Drunken Masters, their agility, their power and their capabilities while this film involves itself more in its story with strong emphasis on the main character’s family interactions. All in all, though, the Drunken Master films should never be missed. They are outstanding.

THE REUNION (Limited Theatrical Release USA 2011)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.8|5.0 Starsìì

The Reunion has good action scenes and a good storyline, but the overall film needs higher realism and stronger acting ability. Some scripted lines are not well said, lack strength, and often come off as comical rather than serious such as several of the scenes between the three brothers arguing among themselves. John Cena has a certain screen presence, however, that can be built on if given a stronger script that lends itself directly to comedy or to action.

Storyline

Three half-brothers reunite while on a dangerous trip into Mexico to retrieve a man who has skipped bail and kidnapped a wealthy American citizen.

Garfield).

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. If you are hardcore John Cena fan, this film may provide the proper ‘fix’, but if you are looking for a ‘risking your life to save someone’ film, Liam Neeson’s Taken has higher impact.

HOW TO STEAL A MILLION (Theatrical Release USA 1966)

Ben Meyers’ rating— 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

How to Steal a Million—cute and fun—follows through with some great interaction between Peter O’Toole, Audrey Hepburn, a young Eli Wallach, and Hugh Griffith to provide a simple, straightforward story with easy comedy built in.

Dad—heartfelt—walks into the world of elder caretaking while taking the viewer on a journey that enhances appreciation for the preciousness of life at every stage. The film reminds us of the importance of building good memories—memories we’ll be glad to own. Dad has a terrific story line and provides significant entertainment value for the whole family.

HARLOCK: SPACE PIRATE (Theatrical Release USA 2013)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Harlock: Space Pirate—Japanese anime—contains cutting edge animation technique and times itself with well-placed, great special effects. However, the storyline is complicated and becomes a bit difficult to follow as it does not always set the groundwork for why provided information is significant; the script is not self-explanatory. Story portrayal is very good to great with terrific characterization.

Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia

Storyline

Humans have populated thousands of the universe’s planets, but need to return to earth for repopulation. However, repatriation causes a war so severe that a special commission bans earth forever as a planet for human habitation. The elite of the special commission decide they have special privileges and that they alone will be allowed to immigrate to earth. The chief defender of earth, Harlock, believes this to be unfair and hypocritical. He goes rogue to ensure justice.

LITTLE BIG MAN (Theatrical Release USA 1970)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Little Big Man takes the traditional western story and gives it an entirely new spin. The script is exceptionally clever in that the story waivers between the slightly comedic to the slightly ironic while not sparing the less than heroic, grisly details involved in serious cultural clashes. This is a terrific, not to be missed film—simultaneously provocative and entertaining.

NO ESCAPE (Theatrical Release USA 2015)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

No Escape turns edge of the seat excitement into some of Owen Wilson’s best work. While Owen Wilson seems to lend himself well to the comedic experience, sometimes with a little romance thrown in, he turns into an outstanding casting choice for this thriller/action movie. His talent lies, partially, in the wisdom of finding his own action style. It absolutely works. This film is among some of 2016s best thriller/action movies. Kudos to every actor in this film; the acting is some of the best on today’s market. The script is well done. No fault found in this film.
