Arguably one of the best ever movies of all time. This movie doesn't need colour to vividly describe the complex relationship of Rick Blaine (Humprey Bogart) and Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) and how their past comes to a head while in unoccupied Africa, more specificly the city of Casablanca. This movie is filled with so many great lines that total eclipses most other 'greats' that only have one or two memorable lines.
This movie is never boring and constanly holds onto you as the viewer and multiple viewings are encouraged, they're expected! Even watching tv shows and movies today there are lines used that have been taken from the script, lines like 'pick up the usual suspects' has been is too many to count. This obviously shows just how excellent this movie really is as it hasn't lost any of its flair since its release in 1949.
A great watch and a worthy winner of its 3 Oscars.
He is a trailer to tease those tastebuds.

The Men Who Stare At Goats
The title encapsulates the essence of this movie, WTF! I mean really how random does this sound, and the movie doesn't disappoint when going in with a mindset of anything is possible. With a government sponsored army group of elite known as new earth army being part of the top secret 'project Jedi'. Yes this does make them Jedi warriors.
With an all star cast of George Clooney, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges and Ewan McGregor to name a few this mind bending experience takes part in the war zone of Iraq and without giving away too much more, things go wrong as would happen when two people that use their minds as weapons go against each other as foes.
This movie is filled with dark humour that may not wet every ones appetite but certainly does cause a few hearty chuckles throughout this amazing adventure when each next event is a absurd as the next. Clooney is a stand out in my mind but as an lover of film, one can't let the other three go by without a mention. They held their roles very well and for most this performance was the first as that kind of character.
If you enjoy movies that make you laugh at the absurdity of it all then this may just be for you and if the above doesn't tickle your fancy then you would be best to lift the bat and let it go through to the keeper as it wouldn't be a far cry to see how people didn't enjoy this desert drama.
Here's the trailer for your enjoyment

The Blind Side
Yes it does seem possibly a little strange that the first movie i decided to post about was this one. Well even though it does have that 'feel good/chick flick' cross vibe to the trailer it really goes beyond the stereotype of a person down on their luck making it through to be rich/famous and/or successful.
This movie is based on a true story with slideshow during the closing credits of the real people involved but also the lead actress Sandra Bullock who plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, won herself an oscar for 'Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role', said in an interview after production that they stayed as close to the book as possible.
This role of hers is by far a stand out when looking at her career with her very convincing southern accent just being one of her many outstanding attributes in this role.
Quinton Aaron plays Micheal Oher in his first lead role after appearing a few times in Law and Order and some other movies that werent as nearly successful as this film has been.
Throughout the movie there didnt seem to be many major issues that jumped out at me as the viewer but the dad did seem to annoy me at times but i cant seem to pin point why.
Overall the film is a MUST WATCH, it doesnt seem to matter if you cant stand Sandra Bullock or love everything that she does because this movie is so well rounded her performance is just a one of the many parts that make this a real enjoyment to watch.
