Casablanca (Film Noir)

Casablanca is a film noir directed by Michael Curtiz. It is set in unoccupied Morocco during the beginning of World War II and is centered around Rick's Cafe. Rick, played by Humphrey Bogart, crosses paths with his one time love, Ilsa, played by Ingrid Bergman, in Casablanca. This leads to a surprising turn of events. The acting in this move was superb, so I rate it at a 10(Mark) on my scale. I also thought that the filming of Casablanca was of the highest quality and gave it a 10 as well. Overall, I thought this movie was wonderful and it has now become one of my favorites, so I rate it a 9.

This clip from Casablanca features the main characters in an emotional scene. I think it captures the French and German war mentality, of this time, perfectly. If this doesn't make you want to watch the movie, then nothing will.

Almost Famous

One of my favorite movies of all time is Almost Famous. I rate this movie a 10 in nearly every category. The acting was of a Mark Whalberg caliber, which is a 10. I thought that the filming and camera work in this movie was top notch, and I rate it a 9. A 9 on my scale movie is rubies for cinematography. Finally, the overall score for the movie is a 10 in my book. That means its an Aston Martin DB9 all together. Almost Famous is like Mark Whalberg driving an Aston Martin with a pile of rubies in the front seat.
