Ben-Hur (1959)
I would give it 11 of 10 if I could...
One of the best movies ever. There are some unforgettable incredible epic scenes in there - just to mention the chariot race or the naval battle - the conflict between the Romans and Judah is very well told. The storyline and Juda's voyage as a roman slave is extraordinary and leaves the viewer wondering that this world simply is "a lot more than what it seems to be". It all tops in the crucification of Jesus Christ.
There is a dignity in this movie that I consider to be outstanding. Totally worthy of every Oscar it received. Additionally with Charlton Heston they did make an excellent choice - I think the acting is more than brilliant.
From me 11 of 10 stars overall, absolutely excellent. There is a lot more to add to it but this is only going to be a short review so it's just a summary of the basics.
The Secret Village (2013)
bad bad bad
I have to agree with the other reviews out there, this movie is awful. Bad acting, there is no real storyline (except some weirdly dressed people from the town running around trying to look like witches or magicians or just ugly faces (lol). Although I think the worst of it is the acting. Really, the acting tops it all, some of the worst that I've seen in quite some time and I saw a lot of horror movies already. Anyway I say don't watch it, it's a waste of time and if you made the mistake of buying the DVD or Bluray like I did, it's also a waste of money.
I think the idea for it is not that bad but the realization of it, well...that sadly went in the wrong direction ;)
