    Directed By: John Sturges Cast: Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, James Donald, Donald Pleasence and Charles Bronson Genre: Adventure/Action Length: 172 minutes Cinema: 1963 Rating: Not Rated I had heard a lot of good things about this movie before viewing it and I just had the intention to rent it and see just how good it really is. It turns out as no disappointment. McQueen who is one of my favorite actors gives a solid performance starring with other great actors such as James Garner, Donald Pleasence and Charles Bronson. Based on the book by Paul Brickhill, which dealt with a real breakout from a German prisoner-of-war camp in which the author himself was interned, "The Great Escape" chronicles the exploits of a group of Allied POWs during World War II who undertook one of the biggest prison breaks of all time. In 1943 the Nazis decided to put their worst escapees in one ostensibly escape-proof, maximum-security camp. These were prisoners who had most often tried to escape previously, and putting all of the rotten apples in one basket seemed like a good idea at the time. What the Nazis didn't figure on, though, was that in this one camp would be the best escape artists of the war and, thus, the toughest men to control. Control them the Germans could not. Although this is an action film, there is a minimum of violence and no profanity, so, if you're interested in such things, it is suitable for family viewing. Furthermore, it has aged well; unlike many older films, it does not look in any way dated. Indeed, I would say it remains as fresh and inspiring today as when it was made. And let us not forget that Elmer Bernstein's remarkable music is still instantly recognizable. That popular march tune that plays throughout the picture is an inspiration in itself. Grade: A

    I’ve been meaning to make a film review thread just to see what you guys think about me as some sort of a movie critic. I can’t say I’m very good at it but I try to inform the people on each film I viewed just to give them a good idea of what kind of a movie I’ve seen. So whatever film I see I’ll try to write a short review and post it in this thread. Since I have school I won’t be posting a new review everyday but at least once a week would be good. Feedback is gladly appreciated.
  7. You ever think about quoting at least a sentence or two instead of just posting a link?
  8. Wow man, nothing but disaster. Though it’s great to see that you’re alive without any harm. Florida has been hit very hard and the last thing they’d want is back-to back -to back hurricanes. What I’m talking about is Hurricane Ivan. But hopefully it won’t reach all of Florida because it’s already killed 30+ people in the islands. Stay safe Jim.
  9. OMG, that thing was long as hell but well worth it. I’m making myself one.
  10. It is subtitled but still a very good film.
  11. 1.) Resident Evil: Apocalypse $23,700,000 2.) Cellular $10,600,000 3.) Hero $4,420,000 4.) The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement $2,931,000 5.) Anacondas $2,900,000 I went on Friday night to see the new Resident Evil with a couple of my buddies and I had a fun time. The film was all right. I can’t say it was a masterpiece but one of my friend’s older sister was jumping out of her seat when some unexpected scenes came. I’ve also seen Hero starring Jet Li and it’s a real good movie. That one I recommend.
  12. Dammit... I hate it when one of my favorite sports teams start the season with a loss. Oh well. Go get them Packers next Sunday.
