"The Kite Runner (2007) is a wonderful story, which is a good thing because the movie has many scenes honouring the appeal of a good story, and it would be enervating if the movie itself was not a well-told tale. A young boy betrays his best friend and, two decades later, gets a chance to redeem himself. The protagonist, like many of the characters is complex, not all good, all bad, all hero, all victim. He spends most of the movie rather weak or unmanly, but the heart-warming conclusion is a testament to his new-found maturity. The story creates a powerful sense of time and place—Afghanistan before the Russian invasion, and Afghanistan un "

"It seems that I'm always behind.Eastern Promises, David Cronenberg ("A History of Violence")'s latest reteaming with Viggo Mortensen ("Alatriste") is another glorious film. Though not as close to perfection as A History of Violence, the film is very interesting, suspenseful and thoughtful. Also, Mortensen has some really awesome tattoos. Naomi Watts ("The Painted Veil") stars as a nurse trying to find the family of a young pregnant girl who died in her hospital. This leads her to the Russian mob, for whom Viggo works. Because it's Cronenberg, there's some gore and it's not always easy to watch. But it's worth it.The Kite Runner gave me some trouble because I read the book first. And, of course, the film is not as good. The story focuses on Amir and his childhood friend, Hassan. Amir is taken out of Afghanistan by his father when he is young, but must return as an adult to help Hassan and his son. The story is touching and horrib ... "

"Hello, my name is JP Paxton and I love movies. What began in mid 2004 has since became my uncontrollable obsession that can now be considered nothing less than an incurable sickness. Seriously, I probably think of a movie or something movie-related once every ten seconds. Because of this, I am propelled to constantly see, write & talk about movies. Those of you who are my friends or at least know of me already know this. For the ones that don't, now you know. Here it is New Year's Eve which means that yet another year has passed. Of course though that also means I'm here to let you all know what films I consider the best of 2007. This year certainly had its share of disappointments including but not limited to 'Bee Movie', 'Underdog' & 'Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.' I still can't recall what made me even think 'Underdog' might have possibly had a shot at being even half-decent. With the bad though there's ... "

"From start to finish this movie was simply amazing. I'm having trouble finding words for it. The characters are so strong and the acting was great, especially the boys who played the main characters. It's put the middle-eastern lifestyle in a whole new perspective for me. Actually I should say that it's shed light onto a world that the US media has shown to be a horrible loveless place. I'm still reeling from this film so I'll have to write more when I've had time ti digest it all. "
