A Fistful of Dollars

A Fistful of Dollars is part of the Dollars trilogy by Sergio Leone with Clint Eastwood in the lead role. It is a Classic and definitely worth watching. I rate it 8/10.

Borat

Borat is a comedy which includes all sorts of crass humor. It’s good and funny if you enjoy such jokes. I liked it and rate it 7/10.

Casino Royale

I am a big fan of James Bond and have seen most of the 007 movies. Casino Royale features a new Bond actor and is different than recent Bond fare. I rate it 7/10.

The Fountain

We watched The Fountain in the theater on our anniversary. It is a good movie about eternal life, love and death. I rate it 8/10.

The Syrian Bride

This is a good movie about a marriage across the ceasefire line between Israeli-controlled Golan Heights and Syria. Family estrangement, conservatism, clash between Israeli and Syrian bureaucratic requirements are all depicted well. I rate the movie 8/10.

Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now is now a part of the culture. It is a movie about a Colonel gone bad (and mad) in the Vietnam War. Francis Ford Coppola did some great work here. I rate it 8/10.

The Man Who Copied

This is a Brazilian movie about a young guy who trying to impress a girl copies money and gets in trouble. It is a good movie and I rate it 7/10.

Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has been made into multiple movies and TV series. This latest version is good, though not as good as the BBC miniseries. I rate it 7/10.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a classic Spaghetti Western. While I enjoyed the movie, the print restoration job wasn’t very good and at times it looks washed up. Overall, I rate it 8/10.
