Good movies!

Over the past few weeks I was able to see two outstanding movies!

Smoking Aces! A really fun, gun crazy crime movie (I'm always a sucker for this type) loaded with tons of character actors. No play by play here, this isn't a professional review, I'm just a guy. This movie isn't Pulp Fiction or Goodfellas...BUT it deserves a serious look. It's funny, violent and well put together. No it's not Oscar material, but so what, I enjoyed it.

Children of Men! Is a very serious visionary story of a possible future. It's Sci-Fi of course but if you are not turned off by that this was probably the most interesting Sci-Fi movie in years. It reminded me of Blade Runner or Gattaca, it's an very good movie and I wish it luck going into Oscar season. Clive Owen is a very good actor and he needs more work. There are also shots in this movie that are pure genius, Alfonso Cuarón is a amazing director ( I never heard of him before). I highly recommend this movie and will

view it again and again.
