Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000)
pleasant surprise
I didn't expect much from this when I set out to watch it, but Gone in Sixty Seconds was a pleasant surprise. This is not a great film, but it is a good film, and is fun to watch. For me personally, it takes me back to the love affairs I had as a youth with Mustangs and GTOs. Gone in Sixty Seconds is good entertainment because it stays within the boundaries of the story line.
Breaking the Code (1996)
Terrific biopic of a creative genius.
Although excellent drama in its own right, with stellar acting and directing, the film is also one of the few insightful portrayals of creative genius. The film gets it all right, from depictions of Turing's precocious (yet difficult) boyhood, to accounts of the actual creative process. This is a must see film.
Joan of Arc (1999)
A pleasant surprise.
A well-made movie with a convincing actress in the lead role. This is the first movie about Joan - who is an ancestor of mine - that actually touched me. Not a great movie, but a very good movie ... and well worth seeing. Cheers to the cast and the makers of this fine film.
