Face/Off (1997)
Good effects but violent.
I liked this movie for it's special effects. Sometimes I'm just not too delicate. There are two down-sides though. When you are referred to as being a vegetable, you're not going to get out of your coma as Cage does in this movie. Second: All seems to be ending happily, but we forget about the innocent bystanders who were killed so easily. We ofcourse do not consider the wreck the lives of their loved ones will become after this movie is over. It seems to me this movie does not value life very much. But maybe we shouldn't think of it that way and just enjoy the entertainment and not take it too seriously. As I said, sometimes I'm not that delicate and I think I might not be the only one......
Defending Your Life (1991)
Another view
Albert Brooks is daring enough to look at the afterlife in a different way. However, the message is not about the afterlife but very much about your life now. Especially if you believe that you live only once, the message in this movie should speak to you even more, because that means there is only one chance, and if you fear to much to take it, well, that's that.
Let's realize folks: Life has so much to offer us. Our hands are too small to handle it all, but let's not fear to take all we can handle......
Sleepless in Seattle (1993)
This is a chics movie !!!
Quoted from the movie itself. But it's great, even when you're a guy. Preferably see it with your wife or girlfriend though. I love the sensitive way in which the characters are portrayed. Tom Hanks makes you feel the pain of his loss in the first part of the movie, which to me is a major achievement. Meg Ryan can always play a typical "woman next door" and still be very desirable (I am a Meg Ryan fan). If you think this movie lacks a decent plot you have missed the psychological part. That's what this movie is all about. And romance of course.
Indecent Proposal (1993)
Don't sleep with anyone for money.
This movie sends us a strong message. It tells us not to sleep with anyone for money. Don't ever value money over love. And don't think you can just have sex without feeling something. Sex is about feeling love. No wonder it is called "making love". Love feeds passion and passion feeds love. There is a truth in that, and if you don't feel it, you may be missing something. If your relationship is strong enough it will overcome problems like almost losing your house. It will also overcome a mistake like this. But never think you can ignore what has happened and just not talk about it. People have memories and things like that will stick.
Excellent acting, good story.
