Unstoppable

Why Ridley Scott is so much more famous and  respected than his brother Tony is one of those mysteries that is worth its own movie- a horror movie, perhaps? Whatever the answer may be, it's obvious that the movies directed by the younger Scott brother, like the new "Unstoppable", are much more entertaining, and also do better at the box office.  The only thing we won't forgive him is launching Tom Cruise's career, but every great artist has some defect in his work.

127 Hours

127 Hours

After the tremendous worldwide success of "Slumdog Millionaire", British director Danny Boyle follows up with a new film, "127 Hours". The movie dramatizes an incredible true story: the "adventure" experienced by Aron Ralston in 2003, when he slipped and fell in a narrow canyon while on a hiking trip in Utah.  I'm not giving anything away by saying that what Aron Ralston faced next was one of those extreme situations that places the limits of human resistance to the test and show us just how far the instinct for survival can take us.
