Check out my website: millerfilm.com. I love all kinds of movies. My favorites are science fiction, drama, action and adventure. You will see that many of my favorite films are from the 70's. This is when I became a film fan! Last summer, I completed two Cinematography Courses at the International Film & Television Workshops in Rockport, Maine. I took the Film Cinematography and Film and HD Camera Assistant Workshops. It was great to work with both the Arri and Panavision cameras. I am currently in pre-production on my first feature documentary. I will be working in HD and hopefully some film! Stay tuned. My Production Company is millerfim, on the web at millerfilm.com. |

One of the all-time great thrillers. Consiracy fans will love this deeply paranoid film. Peter Hyam's best with an impressive Jerry Goldsmith score!

Dear Wendy
by HenrikWhat an extraordinary imaginative and well directed movie that was. The story is about a gang of boys, led by the somewhat off-beatish boy Dick who form a gang called the "Dandies", a secret society obsessed with classic marksmanship and honor codes. The movie adressess many issues on a very subtle and beautifully mellow level. The question of gun possession, how modern weaponry and warfare went over the top, especially in the context of youth politics. The movie has the quirkyness and love for its characters like a Wes Anderson movie, but also sports the brooding Post-America atmosphere of Lars von Trier and David Lynch movies. The cast is brilliant, from Pullman to Jamie Bell, so is the 60ies OST. I strongly recommend this movie to my friends here at Flixster, you will be surprised and raising your eyebrows at times but cannot help to be immersed, forced to rethink often and of course entertained by this work of art.
H.Hey, you should really see this, a beautiful movie both to look at and think about, don't miss it ! Read my review for details !

Dogville
by HenrikA very interesting movie mirroring the ambivalence of human morale. It is hard to position yourself as the movie ends and that is a very good "illustration" of the peciularness we are facing when it comes to deciding what is good and what is evil.
A good cast, the mixture of experienced actors and newcomers as well as the different national backgrounds make this an interesting ensemble piece to watch.Hello everyone, just saw this movie last night and it surprised me by how it is executed and some weird but excellent working plot twists. You should watch this sometime.

The Dark Knight
by SpiderNolan cements his reputation as one of mainstream Hollywood's most prolific film-makers with this outstanding tribute to the Batman mythos. Uncompromising in terms of Nolan's epic vision and the dark tone he affords the movie, TDK is a serious-minded, child unfriendly meditation on the themes of escalation and security versus personal freedom that, despite it's certificate, pulls no punches and is genuinely unsettling throughout. Like any of the great Batman comics, the Dark Knight is portrayed as more of an anti-hero who, although dedicated to combatting crime, is unable prevent his presence attracting the very criminals he strives to rid Gotham of. Ledger's Joker is the perfect nemesis for this contemporary re-telling of Batman, for the first time highlighting the fact that Gotham's shadowy protector is just as psychotic as himself, albeit a more benevolent, restrained version. Although Ledger is provided with the character, dialogue and actions to steal every scene he's in, his performance isn't as complacent as that of Jack Nicholson and he creates a villain that is in turns hilarious and hideous, armed with a horrifyingly compelling Tyler Durden-esque plan designed to break Gotham. Eckhart deserves kudos for playing a memorable villain also, successfully underplaying him while The Joker goes for the bombast. His Harvey Dent is a likable rogue - charming and arrogant - that masks the brooding angry thug that will manifest itself as Two-Face in the last act of the film. TDK does exactly what a sequel should do - takes the good parts from the original film and expands upon them to elevate the franchise to the heights of greatness that few other comic book films will be able to match. Sure it's got things wrong with it but what summer blockbuster hasn't? Any flaws are minor compared to the overall product.

I recommend you see...Just saw this for the second time, and it's even better than I remembered it. Beautiful mix of drama and comedy, with excellent performances by Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo as dysfunctional siblings, even if there isn't much of a family resemblance. Linney was nominated for Best Actress in 2000, along with Joan Allen (The Contender) and Ellen Burstyn (Requiem for a Dream). And the Oscar went to......... Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich! Another of the many atrocities committed by the Academy over the years. But, that was a hard one to swallow.
