Why I go to the movies...

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2002)

This series, plainly stated, bears out why I love to see movies. It is epic storytelling with grand visuals. The characters represent the spectrum of human emotion, things we all feel...love, hate, friendship, envy, pleasure, despair.....we can identify with them. To me this is what makes a memorable movie. Watching this movie along with other great movies (like "The Empire Strikes Back" , "L.A. Confidential" , "Rear Window" , "The Matrix" ...all great movies IMHO) sucks me in. I lose myself in the stories and the characters. I get goosebumps, my heart races, I forget who I am and become,for an instant, the hero, the villain, the fool, the wiseman, the savior, the destroyer. This all has been said before, but when you mean it..you have to say it!!
