Movies this week

Hell of a week, started with gloom and ending in procrastination. Few movies, a nice summit with old friends and the champions trophy encounters.

1. Remember the Titans (2000)
Its in my hall of fame. Its about building of a mixed race team in a highly race sensitive town in highly race sensitive times. Denzel Washington did this with all the grace. A precursor of The Great Debaters. Must watch movie. 8/10.

2. Malcolm X (1992)
A biographical account of the Afro-American leader Malcolm X (played by Denzel Washington) . Malcolm X was the extreme of Martin Luther King, while King's methods were non violent, the method of Malcolm X were very close to violent. The so called civilized and modern White Europeans have done gravest and unwholesome crime during this slave trade from the east coast of Atlantic to the west coast, Malcolm was just trying to show them a mirror. A long movie, the first one hour is unbearable and can force anybody to lose interest. 6/10.

3. Seven (1995)
Its a investigative story of unusual crimes committed by a Psychopath. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt were a nice company in this movie. 6.5/10.

4. Magnum Force (1973)
Second part of Dirty Harry series. In this movie Harry Callahan's role was very closely aligned with the book. In some ways this is better than the first word. Clint Eastwood always rocks one way or the other. 7/10.

5. Amazing Grace (2006)
Its a story of British Nobleman William Wilberforce, who abolished the deadly sin of Slave trade in the entire British Empire of the early 19th Century, by his personal crusade. It was a fight to the finish and after loosing many battles, He won the war. 8/10.
