Hackers, DVD

Hackers, 1995

This is a bit of a throwback at this point, but at the time Hackers was a very fun and exciting movie.  A bit of a fight the system movie.  A young man is banned from using a computer until his 18th birthday because one of his previous hacks crashed the stock exchange by 7 points.  Back online he meets new friends to compete on more and more high end hacks.  They stumble upon a computer virus designed to steal and cause chaos and only they can help their friends from going down for the virus.

This film has excitement and is very fast pace.  This film is the embodiment of all true hackers, the good ones, not the lame ones.

4/5 for this one.  I highly suggest watching it if you come across it.  Just keep in mind it is from the ’90s.

Gone in 60 Seconds, DVD

Gone in 60 Seconds, 2000

Eleanor, oh Eleanor, do you come in orange?

This film is great!  It has action, hot cars, excitement, and feeling.  Nicolas Cage plays Randall a legendary car booster that comes out of retirement to save his brother.  Angelina Jolie plays the love interest, but she is secondary to these beautiful, fast cars.

The excitement is multiplied by the deadline:  50 cars in 3 days, with a 1 night boost, impossible, or is it.

Yes, watch this movie.

5/5 for a great story, a believable love story, a ton of gorgeous cars, a great cast, a reason to care, and a great ending.

Girl, Interrupted – DVD

Girl, Interrupted 1999, staring Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie

Excellent Film, highly suggested.

Susanna (Winona Ryder) checks into a mental hospital for a little rest, a break from life.  She gets swept up by the charismatic Lisa (Angelina Jolie).  Angelina plays crazy well.

This film has a great cast, not only Winona and Angelina, but Whoopi Goldberg and a few other gems.  You get to see a full array of crazy.  You also get to watch a young woman literally choose between crazy and insane.  Which way will she go?

5/5 on this film.  Girl, Interrupted is well directed with excellent acting.  The storyline flows nicely.  You find yourself swept up in it.  You get a dash of history.  I highly suggest watching this film for anyone over 13.
