| | The best Batman yet! | battlin 01/20/2007 | | A thrill that lasts throughout the whole film. Lots of suspense and action for a "comic book" character. Christian Bale provides the hero with a persona that is missing from the other Batman movies. |

 The Bonfire of the Vanities 1990 R, 125 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Brian De Palma
Cast: Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, Kim Cattrall, Saul Rubinek, Morgan Freeman, John Hancock, Kevin Dunn, Clifton James, F. Murray Abraham
Brian De Palma directed this comedy/drama based on Tom Wolfe's novel. It stars Tom Hanks as a millionaire whose mistress kills a young black man with his car. Comfortable in the sedate world of Wall Street, he finds himself unable to cope with the life of a suspected criminal. Melanie Griffith is good as his self-involved mistress. This is a pretty good depiction of the problems evolving from racism, but overall it doesn't do justice to Wolfe's novel.

| | a movie that truly shows not just true heroes but, true sacr | angel 04/19/2007 | this movie not only shows true heroes but, true sacrifice. Matthew broderick's role as colonial robert shaw was wonderful. I think he fit the part very well. You can understand what he's feeling. Despite a lot of the sergents/majors that don't treat the black troops the respect they should get, robert continues to work with them & become the best troops they can be. Denzel washington's part was good as well as morgan fredom, and some on cary elwes part as robert's friend. I clearly give this 10 points. The music is always wonderful & goes well with the movie. I felt heartfelt
& touched by the flim & I hope you will enjoy it too. Thank you. And as robert said "may god bless us all. |
