    Interstate 60: Episodes Of The Road

    This review sums it up pretty well;

    This film is one of the few modern movies, that really HAS something to say. I was very touched, as it reflected my own feelings of incertitude about the future. It contains the motive of the trip(escape), bravery to rise against the authority, but mainly the courage to change one's own life, while preserving the humorous aspect. Contains the love-story sub-motive, but just as moderate, as appropriate. I just loved the script. This film gives the viewer the hope, he can entirely change his life just by making a few crucial decisions.

    Apocalypse Now

    This is probably one of the first movies that started to pry my eyes (and mind) open back in '79'.

    The Matrix

    While Apocalypse Now gently shook me awake, The Matrix spun my head around and was like jumping into frigid water! Wow, this movie is Epic! Probably considered "the" wake up movie for the masses (if they would watch it).

    To what lengths will a corporation go to achieve it's goal of profit and control? To what lengths will beings go to protect and secure their environment? A very good movie (imho).

    Transcendence

    I liked this movie. A.I. is being portrayed more and more these days as evil. Maybe one day we will have a better handle on it.

    The Man Who Fell To Earth

    A great movie (imho). I felt really bad for the way David Bowie's character was treated after all he had done for humanity and all he wanted was to get back to his family.
