My passion for movies lies solely in my sense of humanity and a thirst to be
connected to my fellow man with a deeper level of understanding.
Such inspiration will not qualify me to offer critique from a technical
standpoint, but then "technicalities" will never unravel all the mysteries
entwined within the human spirit.
The opportunity to discover different
aspects of human nature, to look at some element of life from a new
perspective, to learn from the experience of others, or simply to find
laughter beneath the absurdities of human nature; these are
the sensibilities that I choose to draw from movies. These are the movies that move me.
I find such enlightenment
far more valuable than any technical acumen.
So, if you're looking for movie reviews measured in stars and steeped in prolific pontificating that ultimately end in the primitive hand gesture of "thumbs up" or "thumbs down," type the words, "film critics" in your search engine.
You'll find nothing so "technical" as a stars and hand gestures here.
Other than the first movie listed, the other nine of the "Top Ten List" are not listed chronologically with respect to preference. I have chosen the movie Glory as my favorite movie. Links to each movie will provide other links of interest, information, photos, and personal opinion. Enjoy!
