Review: THE EAGLE

               The Eagle is so much like an old school period piece that it feels almost new on how it goes about telling a story. It is the type of story that would have been told in the pre-CGI era when making things blow up was too expensive to have in every movie. The Eagle seems to be the type of story Ridley Scott would make if studio executives wouldn't interfere and inject CGI-steroids into his projects. The Eagle is a grounded down-to-earth movie that draws its strength from its simplicity.

 

Review: THE DILEMMA

The Dilemma is a story about two good friends, who find themselves in a huge mess of problems. Ronny (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Kevin James) have been best friends since college. Now, they work together in the world of auto design, and are about to come through on a very big break through which is making an electric car sound like a gas powered one. Ronny has a lovely girlfriend, Beth (Jennifer Connely), who he is afraid of proposing to, and Nick has been married for a while now to a girl he met back at school, Geneva (Winona Ryder). Sure this is all pretty stressful stuff, but then Ronny sees Geneva kissing a mysterious fellow at the botanical gardens, and that is when the dilemma begins.
