Meliton's Movie Minute: Movie #137 - The Shining
http://melitonsmovieminute.blogspot.com/2010/01/movie-137-shining.html
Sunday, January 3, 2010. Movie #137 - The Shining. A masterpiece of modern horror.". As one of the biggest fans of this movie, you really cannot argue with this tagline. Not surprisingly, this movie is in my personal top three movies of all time, with the list being somewhat interchangeable with The Exorcist. This movie is Jack Nicholson. No big deal, not like it made me into an ax murderer or something, just made me pretty jaded and not afraid of most current horror movies. The acting is superb, even wi...

Friday, September 25, 2009. Movie #136 - Sleepless in Seattle. What if someone you never met, someone you never saw, someone you never knew was the only someone for you? One of the many romantic comedies written and directed by Nora Ephron. The only difference between this movie and some of her other movies, she cast Tom Hanks. Together. This is one of three films in which the two are paired, and apart from the flop, Joe vs. the Volcano. This movie and You've Got Mail. Also, to add, Meg Ryan is again bub...

http://melitonsmovieminute.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 17, 2009. Movie #102 - Rain Man. It's weird that a movie does not have a tagline associated with it, especially one that won the Best Picture Oscar in 1988. This movie marks the beginning of Tom Cruise's pursuit of the elusive Oscar award. Unfortunately, Cruise's role was grossly overshadowed by the performance of Dustin Hoffman as Raymond Babbitt.

Meliton's Movie Minute: Movie #131 - The Siege
http://melitonsmovieminute.blogspot.com/2009/09/movie-131-siege.html
Friday, September 18, 2009. Movie #131 - The Siege. On November 6th our freedom is history.". I recently caught this 1998 film by Director Edward Zwick. And I noticed how prophetic this film was. Released three years before September 11, 2001, a day in which similar attacks on the U.S. was orchestrated by terrorists, Zwick's film discusses a number of major issues related to government policy and reactionary measures made during the fictional terrorism threats to New York City. If you ever want to see a ...

Friday, May 29, 2009. Movie #103 - Dances with Wolves. Inside everyone is a frontier waiting to be discovered.". Winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1990, this marked one of the earlier films where Kevin Costner tried his hand at directing. Based on the novel and subsequent screenplay of Michael Blake, Costner and Blake also won Oscars for their directing and screenplay efforts - not to mention a nomination for Costner for acting. In the end, I want people to watch this to see what Costner's ...

Meliton's Movie Minute: October 2008
http://melitonsmovieminute.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 8, 2008. Movie #78 - Wild Things. No risk, no fun.". I caught this film on MPIX a few weeks ago and I can see why a number of people were hooked on this movie back in 1998. I am surprised that I never saw it before then, considering I was a teenager back in 1998 and this movie would've been the talk of the town back then amongst guys my age. There are a couple of things that make me laugh about this movie. 1 How many times are we going to see Neve Campbell cast as a teenager? Either wa...

http://melitonsmovieminute.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Movie #101 - The Last Emperor. He was the Lord of Ten Thousand Years, the absolute monarch of China. He was born to rule a world of ancient tradition. Nothing prepared him for our world of change.". Although The Last Emperor is definitely a must see amongst Best Picture winners from 1980-2008, it is quite long and it is a period, historical piece that has some slow parts to it. The set design and filming of this movie provide breathtaking panoramic shots, however, for th...

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Movie #107 - Star Trek (2009). The future begins.". The great benefit of this film is Abrams' comic book way of solving timeline issues and predictability - allowing newer audiences to enjoy the movie and upcoming sequels, but also taking into account a progression that many die-hard Star Trek fans were hoping for. a reinvention of the whole scheme. In terms of the films - here is where it stands already. maybe after a few more viewings, it might go up in rank:. 3 Star Trek (2009).
