This is an excellent movie about friendship and the opportunities that can be unleashed by the correspondence of like minds. Witty, smooth dialogue and great personal touches abound. Sir Sean Connery yet again displays the acting talent that most other actors can only dream of. Perhaps the strongest performance of his excellent career. Rob Brown is incredible especially considering he had no previous acting experience. This is a wonderful film and I'm glad I saw it on the silver screen.

The Man in the Iron Mask
(1977 TV Movie)
Excellent
25 October 2000
Pure excellence. Wonderful script. Production, directing and acting was superb. Great ensemble cast. What more can one ask from a made for t.v. movie? This one had all the qualities of a big budget film. Highly recommended.
The Patriot
(2000)
Finally, a good revolutionary war flick!
3 July 2000
Very cool film. Great costumes, sets, score, etc.Mel Gibson was fantastic in the starring role, as always (Maybe the Academy will finally recognize his acting abilities?). Also, great performances by the supporting actors. Now for all those politically correct bozos out there who are concerned that the film trounces the poor English people, please note: Some of your countrymen have done terrible things. So have some Americans, some Tahitians, some Romans, some EVERYBODY. Not ALL British people in this film were depicted as terrible. Just one. Others, such as Cornwallis, were depicted as classy, regular guys. Please get over it. This film isn't quite up there with Braveheart in my opinion, but it is still a very wonderful film. 9 out of 10. Good luck at the Oscars, Mel.
Braveheart
(1995)
Greatest Epic ever filmed!
1 March 1999
Braveheart is the greatest epic ever filmed (In my humble opinion). Not one boring sequence. All the emotions are taxed as you follow the life of one of the greatest heroes in Celtic history, William Wallace. Mel Gibson's direction was absolutely superb! He should have gotten the Oscar for best acting as well. I've always been proud of my Scottish ancestry, but after having seen Braveheart 5 times now, I can hardly contain that pride of mine! Hats off to Mel!
