In the HEAT of the Moment

For my second entry for scenes from my favorite movies I chose this scene from the movie HEAT. This movie is so good at times at making the scenes as dramatic as possible. The best scene is the shootout in the LA streets after Robert De Niro's team had just finished robbing a bank and Al Pacino's police force had just caught them in the act.

Favorite Movie Scene

For a little treat for you guys I will start showing you movie clips of my favorite movies. This week I will show you a clip of my favorite comedy of all time from Dumb and Dumber. This is one of my favorite scenes of this whole movie. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. If you haven't already seen this movie I suggest you go out and rent the movie.

One Actor for each Movie Catergory

Ever had people ask you "If You could be on an Island with one person for the rest of your life , who would it be." A pretty frequent question asked in past time. So I got a little creative and came up with a list of one actor for each movie category to see for the rest of my life.

Action: Christian Bale- Say anything you want about the man, he knows how to keep your attention in a movie without overacting a scene. Best roles= The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight.

Drama: Tom Hanks- What more can I say about the guy than he's probably the greatest actor of our generation. He did almost win an academy award for talking to a volleyball. Best Roles= Forrest Gump, Road to Perdition, Saving Private Ryan.

Gangster: Robert de Niro- This was a hard decision for me because I also like Al Pacino to. But, I made my decision and I am sticking to it. "You talkin' to me." The way he stays cool about everything, and yet you still are deathly afraid of him. Best Roles= Goodfellas, Casino, Heat.

War: Mel Gibson- The dude may be an anti semetical a**hole, but he is all talent and effort. He was amazing in his selected war movie roles. He is so passionate in his movie roles. Best Roles= Braveheart, The Patriot, Lethal Weapon.

Comedy: Paul Rudd- Everytime I see Rudd in movies I think of him as Brian Fantana on the air in Anchorman. His very very dry sense of humor makes him hysterical to watch on screen. Best Roles= Anchorman, Role Models, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Horror: Jamie Lee Curtis- I love the movie Halloween because she made part of that movie with her screams. She makes the movie more violent and intense just by screaming. Best Roles= Halloween, True Lies, A Fish Called Wanda.

I would have Romance, but not a huge fan of that genre. Sorry.

Open to the public

My first movie review is of director Michael Mann's Public Enemies. I went into this movie with a lot to be expected because of his other works like Manhunter, Last of the Mohicans, Heat, and The Insider. Which all were very well done films. The movie that had been hyped for so long as an edgy crime drama with the great Johnny Depp playing the famous 1930's bank robber John Dillinger, and Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis, an FBI agent hired to catch Dillinger. The movie is as straight forward as can be, meaning no origin of Dillinger that you have to pay attention to in order to follow the film. Which is essentially how Mann does with all of his films. The film was great in making it seem as a realistic as possible, which the film is based off of true events, but he doesn't try and hollywoodize(meaning big budget explosions with action theme to it) it. The best scene of the movie was a shootout scene at night at a house in Wisconsin. After that, the film seemed to drag on a little more than necessary, surprising me of this very talented filmaker. Everyone would expect Johnny Depp to take this film to next level, but never really does. Surprisingly the one would carry this film was the ones around Depp and Bale. Marion Cotillard was a very strong role in the film as well. To rate this film it will be on a scale of 1 to 10, but one being the worst gangster ever or Kevin Federline, and 10 being the best gangster ever or Tony Montana from Scarface. I'll give it a 7.
