John's Reviews

Very average. Good story line but badly executed.

Good old Denzel. Always a good performance. Worth a watch.

excellent, great parallels with Wikileaks. Politicians will do anything and say anything to reflect well on themselves and history. The truth is very different. We the people who elect these "morons" need to know what they are up to in our name. They forget that we do not want them killing other humans beings for their own gains!

Not worth watching, very poor and a waste of time! Give it a miss and try North Country

Excellent movie about the grit and determination of a person to fight for justice and do the right thing even though not supported by others. Highly emotive and first class.

Another excellent movie which did not make the headlines. The atrocities of war and what the participants become for being involved with it should be a lesson for all. Instead we prefer to watch the Twilight series or Harry Potter and keep on making the same in-human mistakes again and again. Recommended viewing if you have a heart and the courage to say enough is enough

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. What a thing to do to children and their parents! The British and Australian Governments of the time should hang their heads in shame and the current Governments should do something about righting a terrible wrong. How can human beings be so cruel to each other? Why is it that movies like this are quietly passed over by the media when they are something we should all take to heart and never forget. No Harry Potter etc get the limelight. Does it say something about us as a society?

Good movie which I guess typifies the US political system. Power and money and who cares about the rest. Even the best of morals and ethics get lost along the way.

Excellent and oh so different. What a great surprise and great acting from Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour ?? He deserved his Oscar for playing the gay writer and once agin he delivers a great performance. Definitely worth watching.

Great work from Naomi Watts and Vigi Mortensen in a dark and unusual plot. Naomi is a great advertisement for Australia and deserves all and any credit she gets. Dark moody, seedy London at it's best with Russian mafia in the driving seat or are they?

Slow to start but wait, it's worth it. Poses a lot of questions about families and parenting. Why are we letting kids away with so much? Why are some parents afraid of their kids? Why are the kids dictating what happens in the home? We are pandering to them too much! Anyway Tilda Swindon is great in a role requires a lot of sufferance.

Excellent movie and describing a time that is within so many of our memories. Segregation, only the USA could come up with such a farce. "You are black skinned so therefore you cannot sit on my toilet". No wonder the world is in such a wierd state when we all try and emulate the USA. WATCH AND LEARN what not to do.

Excellent movie with great performances from the leads. Great to see an Australian actor mixing it with Nick Nolte and other US actors and coming up trumps. Well recommended.

A mournful, melancholy, miserable movie not fitting of the talents of the leading man. Not impressed at all. Leave this one if you want to stay in a reasonably good mood.

Excellent, Excellent. A last the story of a concerned and honest man who shows up the system for what it is! This is about the 5th time I have watched it and I still get a thrill at the ending. A must see for every public servant so they can how their systems de-humanize individuals and make the rules and laws more important than the people the rules and laws were meant to protect.

A great subject dear to my heart as I was in Dublin when Radio Caroline was first launched but I thought the movie was pretty awful. I'm glad I did not pay good money at the movie theatre to see this farce. Such good acting talent wasted.
