East/West (1999)

well made film that depicts post WWII life in the USSR accurately

[30 August 2001]

This movie hit pretty close to home. I am a first generation American. Everyone else in my family left the USSR(Ukraine) in the 1970's.

One of the many reasons they left is because of the daily life problems that this movie depicts. People were afraid to say anything, or express their thoughts even remotely on how they felt about life in thing wrong with it. If they did so they would be either murdered thrown in jail or taken away never to be heard from again. East West is a well made and easy to understand film that can be enjoyed by a lot of mainstream audiences.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

one of the greatest films ever

[10/10 · 23 August 2001]

I loved this movie. it features one of the greatest performances ever captured by Malcolm Mc Dowell. Although I am not a big fan of Stanley Kubrick he really made a masterpiece here. If you are not put off by violence or if you have an open mind see the film. You wont be dissapointed. 9/10
