The Siege (1998)
A Disgrace to Film-making Industry.
I have read other's comments and I would like to start out by saying that I resent the term "Hollywood Movie." Firstly it was a New York movie and I, as an Angelino in the film biz, am offended to be associated with this movie in any way. There was so much defiance of character that I had no idea where anyone stood, though it did not matter because there was no character definition to begin with. Hub seemed nice enough but... he had no life! No one did. Everything they did had no real motivation other than to get to the part where people are separated from their limbs. I was shocked to see a writing credit, for I had not suspected that there had been any form of script more than a brief one-page outline. The only slight bit of good I could find (by trying very hard) was the point that "Arab and Terrorist aren't synonymous." But that was poorly upheld, and anyone with an IQ that of an eggplant knew that already! Thank God I rented this one, or I would be begging the theater to refund my ticket so I could go see something better, such as a Pauly Shore movie.
Sodot Mishpacha (1998)
Best film I've ever seen!
A fascinating movie! I was amazed by the lives of these two cousins, born after WWII dealing with the war's presence in their family. An incredible movie, I saw it twice. Would have seen it more if time had permitted. It left an ever-present mark in my mind, every movie I see is put to comparison with it. I highly recommend it.
