Last of the Mohicans by Michael Mann Rating MM$

I've watched this movie probably 6 times in 6 months and I'd watch it again tonite. Almost flawless, it embodies all that is American like only Michael Mann can. The hope, the conflict, the arrogance, the passion, the independence and conformity. Daniel Day Lewis is unbelievable! Madeleine Stowe is watchable. Russell Means and Wes Studi show why they're two of my favorite actors in film. Eric Schweig is silently deadly and charming. Jodhi May's doe eyed look is spell bindingly innocent. This film races from one battle to the next with romance filling the gaps propelling you forward. There's few scenes on celluloid that move fathers/sons to tears like the last scene on the side of the mountain. Besides, who wouldn't want the woman they love, but have never spoken of their feelings, to fall to her death in his honor. Buy it, rent it, watch it, love it! This gets a MM$ rating as it is one of my favorites of all time. MM$

I think I'm in love! Audrey I do. Rating $$$$

If only she'd spoken those words to me. I'd have never let her go. What do you gotta know? Audrey Hepburn as a princess and Gregory Peck as the young American expat. You gotta love it! She's so charming, it's scary. Especially the final scene at the press interview. Enjoy! MM$

PATHFINDER; the Ghost Warrior Rating $

Okay, so this movie had great trailers, great production quality, and a terrible script. That combined with amatuer directing and cliche images from a thousand other action films leaves you feeling let down. The leading man (Karl Urban-recognizable from Lord of the Rings trilogy) is not charismatic nor compelling, but I can't tell if it's the script, directing, or poor acting. He only speaks like 10 phrases in the whole movie. My favorite part of the movie were the Native Americans and the Vikings. The production quality in their houses, boats, and especially costumes were amazing. Much of this came from the graphic novel, but they're spectacular none the less. I'd hoped this film would be better than it was, but predictably it was shallow and didn't explore the reference material to make you want to watch it. MM$
