The movies can drastically change overnight. A single idea, or story, can shift everything. Future theatrical experiences can be forever altered by the power of a single film. Everyone walks away with something – good or bad.

In 1995, Oliver Stone’s “Natural Born Killers” was panned and praised, but movies would never be the same. The film-going world was stirred and torn. High school students were defending freedom of thought against teachers. Audience members walked out by the dozens within the first fifteen minutes. Violence was being blamed on the movies, video games, and music. But “Natural Born Killers” was thought-provoking. What were those thoughts, exactly? The world of cinema was going to learn as Oliver Stone taught.

“Natural Born Killers” satirically portrayed the MTV world by using the MTV style. The fact that a style can be narrowed down to a single station is just as preposterous as using the style against itself. Confused? Well, the point was Stone wasn’t intimidated by Quentin Tarantino’s success with “Pulp Fiction.” He was going to take Tarantino’s modern “Bonnie and Clyde” script of “Natural Born Killers” and make it his own. A complicated endeavor, but Stone was the man to do it.

Since his collision of black and white, grainy images and rich colors in “JFK,” Stone had been perfecting his attack on the reality TV world before reality TV would take us over. The MTV style was now Stone’s style.

By this time, Stone was already known for altering history (“The Doors”), combining conspiracy theories (“JFK”), and taking a stab at our reasons for being in the Vietnam war whenever he could (almost every movie he’s made references Vietnam). But we were okay with that. Stone was a crazy man who made up whatever world he wished in the movies. We awarded him for it, and he has brought out some of the best performances over the years. There was a sense of humor, or a design on how to mix truth, not only with fiction, but with humorous scenarios. Nothing was to be taken seriously except the cinematography.

“Nixon” was next to come out, and it was absurdly long. He cut it down. It didn’t get as much recognition, but it went deeper than Watergate. “U Turn,” Stone’s lower-budgeted simple story starring a frenzied Sean Penn, followed. The wacky editing and characters were consistently despicable. When everything slowed down, you could almost smell the sun outside a mahogany office. The sand of the desert was in your eyes. The lies jerked you to an extreme close up on a mouth. That’s why Stone hasn’t let go of his style! He hasn’t completely lost his mind, he’s just growing and mastering a tempo. Directors like Tony Scott have since been inspired and guilty of putting their own spin on the same quick-cut style.

Sad to say, by the time “Any Given Sunday” was released in 1999, many had had enough of his psycho editing. Some said it was cheesy and overdone. Overdone cheese. However one phrased it, he was becoming yesterday’s news. The NFL didn’t like how they were represented, so Stone went ahead and made up his own teams. Watching “Any Given Sunday,” you think you get it. The whole gladiator analogy and how we’re a bunch of idiots who thirst for blood and money. Yeah, yeah, that’s funny. Good one, Oliver. But then Jamie Foxx (who starred in “Any Given Sunday” and was simultaneously becoming a pop artist) had music videos which were similar to the ones you believed were bashing the no-talent pop idols. Could there be a kind of phoniness going on here? Nah. That’s Jamie Foxx. Life imitates art, and art imitates life. It has nothing to do with Oliver Stone being a hypocrite or … dumb. (You’ll get back to this.)

Movies changed drastically in 1999, and Stone wasn’t present after “Any Given Sunday.” Maybe you read his novel or tried to reread the first hundred pages twice and gave up and attempted to sell it at a yard sale for 50 cents where no one bought it (as I did). Perhaps you went back and saw “Heaven and Earth,” and “Salvador,” in addition to his other films, and were convinced he had branched out. Everything will be okay. Stone likes to play around, and you were momentarily caught up in the real world, mixing fact and fiction. It will be okay.

As you were placing Oliver Stone near the top of your list of favorite directors, he went a little nuttier, and returned to the movies with “Comandante” a documentary about Fidel Castro. But that’s okay. It was 2003, and anyone in the spotlight wanted to make a difference. Relax.

Saturday Night Live has a skit where Will Ferrell plays Oliver Stone as a crazy Vet director. Everything involves a helicopter. The rerun was funnier than you remembered. You can get on board, chuckle at the crazy man. Stone’s eccentric and mixes up his facts, but he knows how to tell a story and get you to feel for those troubled characters. The film world is still intact.

2004. Finally, Stone is coming back. His first fictional feature in five years is about Alexander the Great and starring the up-and-coming, captivating actor Colin Farrell. Funny, you were going to name your son Alexander.

The movie is a no-nonsense disaster. A blunder. It mocks … something, and you don’t give a damn what it’s mocking. Alexander reminds you of a hairdresser. The giant, unstoppable, god-like, legendary military leader is a drug addict. The scenes of war are senseless, and you dozed off three times. Maybe some of the stories and secrets of Alexander are true, but why use Alexander the Great to remake “Blow”? The clincher, the element that made you sweat with anger, was the camera setups. (Single example is the laughable slow-mo drop of Alexander’s arm that resembles a spoof shot of “Braveheart.”)

Maybe it was time to take a look back at Stone’s past work. But before you had time, Oliver Stone dared his audience again with the TV-movie-like “World Trade Center.” You skipped it.
Two years later, “W” is released. The trailer is not only enticing, but brilliant. George W. Bush is going to be bashed or misunderstood by Oliver Stone, the wizard. While facts are fresh in our head, Stone is probably going to alter back-stories and events! We love the wild idea! Perhaps Stone is a mastermind and has had some kind of relapse. Everyone makes mistakes.

Josh Brolin was amazing as Bush. Congratulations! But what the hell was Thandie Newton doing with that face and cartoon over-the-top accent? How could Richard Dreyfuss pull off his little Dick Cheney speech without cracking a smile and ruining every take of an asinine scene? Why was that dog so hoppity? There were blatant metaphors overlapping vague ones. Serious insight was glazed with oversights. Or was it oversights darkened insight? Satirical moments were rendered as fact. Fact was a cardboard cutout, and scissors were plastic and rubbing at the edges of a cardboard cutout reality. Something like that. A baseball was involved.

Oliver Stone had done the dirty deed; he used his film to express his opinion. Like or dislike a president, celebrity, or legend, Stone has lost all credibility and altered our respect for a visionary.

Take a looksy back at “Any Given Sunday,” and it’s ruined. The eye of enlightenment (often used in his films) is nonsensical. Music blaring over a sky shot was supposed to be ironic. Nope. It’s rushed MTV filler. Is this why you never purchased the Oliver Stone collection? Were you never convinced Stone was worthy of that amount of space on your DVD rack?

The talent or messages he may have once possessed were never clear enough to defend today. Double standards are flashed about in all his films, and for what purpose? No one can deny Oliver’s track record, but he’s been tattooing his films with contradictory statements all along. There’s nothing worth fighting for, something you’d think he’d be able to relate to, since these may be his thoughts on our involvement of the war in Vietnam. But we’re not even sure about that. How could we have been so stupid? Why did we waste time deciphering your artistic voice? We followed you through the muck, through “Nam,” and you’ve bailed on us. You stand for nothing, Oliver Stone.

(I’m choosing to ignore his last documentary and go directly to his sequel for my final bashing.) Since Stone’s next picture “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” is not yet released, I’ll hope that the movie can’t possibly be worse than the title. The fact that he’s making a sequel in this day and age of money-making sequels has to top the idiotic title. He cast Shia LaBeouf (who was promising in “Holes” in 2003) and that risky decision has to distract from, and top, any other problems the movie may have.

Picture a Saturday Night Live phony trailer for a sequel to a movie that should not be made. We’ll say, “Wall Street”. Pick a cast member to play Michael Douglas becoming a best-selling author because of his phrase Greed is good. (That should get a laugh.) Then (for this phony trailer) pick America’s most hated rising star (presently Shia LaBeouf). How about slapping a title which suggests that a part of the human’s daily routine is experienced through an inanimate object? SNL doesn’t have to do a skit on this one; Stone’s done it for himself.

Thank you for fighting for our country, Oliver boy; but perhaps it’s time for you to leave our theaters … alone.

10. Star Wars IV: A New Hope

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away . . .

Luke Skywalker, farmhand and son of Darth Vader, is torn from his home when his aunt and uncle are murdered by Imperial Storm Troopers searching for the stolen plans to the Death Star, a space station with weaponry capable of destroying planets.

Quote: I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Trivia: Al Pacino, Burt Reynolds and James Caan reportedly turned down the role of Han Solo.

9. Pulp Fiction

A movie whose various plotlines are far too intertwined to summarise in a paragraph or two, Pulp Fiction simply tells the story of a day in the life of a group of unusual people — two hitmen, the wife of a gangster, and a boxer who killed in the ring among others.

Edited to tie each story together, the movie often plays out of sequence — to the point where the final scene and the opening scene take place at the same time. Full of pop culture references and quotable lines, Pulp Fiction stays true to form as a Tarantino movie.

Quote: Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead.

Trivia: Vincent Vega (John Travolta) is the brother of Vic Vega, also known as Mr Blonde, in Reservoir Dogs.

8. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Set during the US Civil War, the movie follows the three protagonists Blondie (The Good), Snake Eyes (The Bad) and Tuco (The Ugly) in their search for a hoard of gold stolen by bank robber Bill Carson. All three want 50% of the gold — resulting in a good old-fashioned standoff. Snake Eyes is shot dead, and the honorable Blondie allows Tuco his share of the booty.

Quote: You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

Trivia: Clint Eastwood wore the same poncho for all three Man With No Name’ movies — without washing it once.

7. Schindler’s List

Schindler’s List tells the true story of Oscar Schindler, a Nazi industrialist who becomes so moved by the plight of the Jewish people during World War II that he devotes himself to saving as many as he can. Even after rescuing over 1,100 Jews from the gas chamber, Schindler bemoans the fact that he could have saved more had he sacrificed everything he had.

Quote: I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don’t know. If I’d just… I could have got more.

Trivia: Steven Spielberg refused to take any pay for the film, claiming that it would feel like he was taking blood money’.

6. The Seven Samurai

Regarded as Akira Kurosawa’s greatest film, the Seven Samurai tells the story of a terrorised village in war-torn 16th Century Japan. Constantly attacked by gangs of bandits, the residents enlist the services of seven ronin, or samurai without masters, to protect them.

Despite initial tensions between the villagers and the samurai, they together successfully defend the village against the bandits. However, their success comes at the cost of the lives of four samurai.

Quote: What’s the use of worrying about your beard when your head’s about to be taken?

Trivia: The three samurai whose characters survived the film were the first three to die in real life.

District 9 (2009)

Director Neill Blomkamp teams with producer Peter Jackson for this tale of extraterrestrial refugees stuck in contemporary South Africa. It’s been 28 years since the aliens made first contact, but there was never any attack from the skies, nor any profound technological revelation capable of advancing our society. Instead, the aliens were treated as refugees. They were the last of their kind, and in order to accommodate them, the government of South Africa set up a makeshift home in District 9 as politicians and world leaders debated how to handle the situation. As the humans begin to grow wary of the unwelcome intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less interested in the aliens’ welfare than attempting to understand how their weaponry works. Should they manage to make that breakthrough, they will receive tremendous profits to fund their research. Unfortunately, the highly advanced weaponry requires alien DNA in order to be activated. When MNU field operative Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is exposed to biotechnology that causes his DNA to mutate, the tensions between the aliens and the humans intensifies. Wikus is the key to unlocking the alien’s technology, and he quickly becomes the most wanted man on the planet. Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to District 9 in a desperate bid to shake his dogged pursuers.

Invictus (2009)

Nelson Mandela’s release from prison and his ascent to a democratically elected President of South Africa marks a radical change in the country. This change away from apartheid will not be easy for anyone in the country, but Mandela has to figure out how to galvanize the residents of the country together. Because of his love of the game, Mandela places his support behind the Springboks, the national rugby team. South Africa is hosting the 1995 Rugby World Cup, that being the only reason the Springboks are even competing in the tournament as its years on the sideline of world rugby events has not made it world ranked. The Springboks were previously considered the team of white South Africa, and as such was denounced by Mandela when he was in prison. But he does whatever he can to make it the team of all South Africa. He needs the support of the Springboks and its captain, Francois Pienaar, to achieve his unrealistic goal of the Springboks winning the World Cup, even against such rugby powerhouses the All-Blacks representing New Zealand. Mandela tries to inspire Pienaar to lead by example, much like Mandela has himself. Beyond Mandela’s dream, his racially mixed security team has the added pressure of protecting him at the Springboks’ matches while he places himself in potentially unprotectable situations.

Tsotsi (2005)

In Johannesburg, the small time criminal Tsotsi is a teenager without feelings, hardened by his tough life. After killing a man with his gang in a robbery; hitting the gangster Boston of his gang; humiliating a crippled beggar along one night, Tsotsi hijacks a car and under the despair of a woman, he shoots her in the stomach. While driving the car, Tsotsi finds that there is a baby on the back seat and the woman was a desperate mother. He brings the baby to his house in the slum and becomes attached to him. For six days, the baby changes his behavior, arousing and developing the sense of empathy and humanity in the cold blood killer.

The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980)

Misery is brought to a small group of Sho in the Kalahari desert in the form of a cola bottle. In his quest to throw the evil object over the edge of the earth, Xixo encounters Western “civilization,” a haphazard doctor and a tyranical despot.

In the ranking of the magazine “free movies online“, was released 10 best sci-fi movies in the history of cinema.

Coming up with a list of the top 10 best sci-fi pictures of all time was definitely a challenge. There are so many classic sci-fi films/movies out there that even narrowing it down to just 10 was tough.

1. Blade Runner (1982) Dir: Ridley Scott

Los Angeles, 2019: Rick Deckard of the LAPD’s Blade Runner unit prowls the steel & micro-chip jungle of the 21st century for assumed humanoids known as ‘replicants’. Replicants were declared illegal after a bloody mutiny on an Off-World Colony, and are to be terminated upon detection. Man’s obsession with creating a being equal to himself has back-fired.

2. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Dir: Stanley Kubrick

When a large black monolith is found beneath the surface of the moon, the reaction immediately is that it was intentionally buried. When the point of origin is confirmed as Jupiter, an expedition is sent in hopes of finding the source. When Dr. David Bowman discovers faults in the expeditionary spacecraft’s communications system, he discovers more than he ever wanted to know.

3. Star Wars (1977)/Empire Strikes Back (1980)

The first two films of the original Star Wars trilogy make it onto the list probably for reasons of nostalgia rather than science.
Essentially westerns set in space, they both cover the universal themes of good versus evil while making lead actors Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher spit out mind-boggling technospeak on a regular basis. There is also an element of mysticism (which some say sets them apart from the rest of science fiction), with the idea of an all-pervading “force” that can be harnessed by certain people for good or evil.

The epic saga revolves around the battle between the all-enslaving Empire (led by the Emperor, a force-wielding maniac and his part-human part-machine henchman Darth Vader) and a small band of rebels.

Its use of science is sketchy at best – light-speed travel is dealt with by the use of a “hyperspace” where the normal laws of physics don’t seem to apply and force-wielding Jedi fight with theoretically impossible lightsabers – but the emphasis here is certainly not on answering the problems of the human condition. Two of the first blockbusters, they also started the franchises for toys, games and replicas that no science fiction film can do without nowadays.

4. Alien (1979) Dir: Ridley Scott

On what should have been a trip back to Earth, the Nostromo, a mining freighter, is automatically re-routed to a desolate planet after receiving an SOS coming from it. After the crew is awakened, they investigate the source of the SOS, and discover a derelict alien ship on the planet. One of the crew members is put into a coma by an alien creature while investigating the ship. But the alien parasite dies and the crew think all is well. But the small ordeal was only a prelude for greater things to come…

5. Solaris (1972) Dir: Andrei Tarkovsky

This film probes man’s thoughts and conscience, as it follows a psychologist who is sent to a space station situated over the mysterious Solaris Ocean. The two other scientists there tell the psychologist of strange occurrences in the station, and the Ocean’s eerie ability to materialize their thoughts. After being in the station for a while, the psychologist finds himself becoming very attached to its alternate reality…

6. Terminator (1984)/T2: Judgment day (1991) Dir: James Cameron

n the future, Skynet, a computer system fights a losing war against the humans who built it and who it nearly exterminated. Just before being destroyed, Skynet sends a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah, the mother to be of John Connor, the Leader of the human resistance. The terminator can pass for human, is nearly indestructible, and has only one mission, killing Sarah Connor. One soldier is sent back to protect her from the killing machine. He must find Sarah before the Terminator can carry out it’s mission.

7. The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) Dir: Robert Wise

Set amid the cold war paranoia of postwar America, a flying saucer lands in Washington DC and a humanoid alien, Klaatu emerges, accompanied by his robot, Gort.

Klaatu (who pronounces: “I’m impatient with stupidity. My people have learned to live without it”) tries to convince the world’s leaders – and when they won’t listen, scientists – to stop the rush toward mutual destruction.

It is cited by Beagle 2 project leader Colin Pillinger as one of his favourite sci-fi films. “During the showing, the cinema manager pulled a classic Orson Welles stunt and stopped the film to announce that a spaceship had landed.”

8. War of the Worlds (1953) Dir: Byron Haskin

Famously adapted for radio by Orson Welles, HG Wells’ tale of a Martian invasion of Earth became another cold war movie.
“The idea that there could be life that’s developed in completely other circumstances in a completely different world which you would never recognise. That’s a very appealing idea,” says Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, California.

9. The Matrix (1999) Dir: Andy & Larry Wachowski

During the year 1999, a man named Thomas Anderson (also known as Neo), lives an ordinary life.

A messiah of sorts, Morpheus presents Neo with the truth about his world by shedding light on the dark secrets that have troubled him for so long.

10. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) Dir: Steven Spielberg

There are many great advantages of being able to watch watch movies online online.

When this good-looking boy leapt to stardom in the ’80s, no one could have predicted that he would become one of the most revered thespians of his age band. A former rock-and-roll wannabe, Depp segued into acting with a handful of big-screen supporting roles. With his spectacular cheekbones and pouty lips, he became an instant sex symbol on the TV series 21 Jump Street. After graduating from the small screen, Depp shrewdly eschewed the traditional leading-man route, playing offbeat characters in movies helmed by edgy directors: John Waters, Terry Gilliam, and his most frequent collaborator, Tim Burton. Off screen he cultivated a bad-boy reflection with a string of high-profile romances (Winona Ryder, Sherilyn Fenn, Kate Moss) and trashed hotel rooms. But Depp full-grown both personally and professionally in the ’00s, earning Oscar nods and making a stable home with his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and their children. In 2007, he proved that, regardless of his megastar status, his family was his top priority when he interrupted the shoot of Sweeney Todd to be by his sick daughter’s bedside.

Johnny Depp is one of my absolute favourite actors, due to his penchant for picking quirky roles over Hollywood leading man or action hero types. I usually enjoy watching his movies (with some exceptions), so I have decided to make a list of my five ten of his movies, here’s the list.

5th Place

Blow (2001)

Moving to California, he starts his own pot pushing operation in which he finds both success and imprisonment. In prison, he meets a cellmate who introduces him into a partnership to the lucrative new market in cocaine. Upon release, George Jung quickly becomes instrumental in establishing the exploding US market for cocaine in which he claimed that he handled about 85% of the supply in the 1970′s. However, for all the fabulous wealth and power he gained, the true costs of his dangerously treacherous occupation catch up with him in ways from which he would never recover.

4th Place

Public Enemies (2009)

This is the story of the last few years of the notorious bank robber John Dillinger. He loved what he did and could imagine little else that would make him happier.

Dillinger is eventually betrayed by an acquaintance who tells the authorities just where to find him on a given night.

3th Place

Clashing their swords in fierce mortal combat, Will and Jack attempt to recapture The Black Pearl ship, save the British navy, and relinquish a fortune in forbidden treasure thereby lifting the curse of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

1th Place

Ed Wood (1994)

This is an unlikely choice for number one: a movie about the worst director of all time, Edward D. Wood Jr., who loved dressing in drag and made such so bad-they’re-good films like Plan 9 From Outer Space. What made Wood become a legend is the fact that he really loved making films and he actually thought he was doing a good job. The film includes hilarious scenes like Bela Lugosi (Martin Landau in an amazing performance) pretending to fight with an octopus that someone lost the control for, and Tor Johnson (George “The Animal” Steele) walking into a door and shaking the whole set. Depp is also fantastic in the title role, and Wood’s enthusiasm and love of film shows through.

Once a champion thoroughbred trainer, Walsh has given up horse training for a quiet life with Channing on their modest Kentucky farm. The little zebra, or “Stripes,” as Channing calls him, is soon introduced to the farm’s misfit troupe of barnyard residents, led by a cranky Shetland Pony named Tucker and Franny, a wise old goat who keeps the family in line. The group is joined by Goose, a deranged big-city pelican who’s hiding out in the sticks until the heat dies down in Jersey. The un-aptly named bloodhound Lightening keeps a lazy eye on goings-on at the farm – in between naps. The Walsh farm borders the Turfway Racetrack, where highly skilled thoroughbreds compete for horse racing’s top honor, the ultra-prestigious Kentucky Crown. From the first moment Stripes lays eyes on the track, he’s hooked–he knows that if he could just get the chance, he could leave all those other horses in the dust.

Coming up with a list of the top 10 best drama movies of all time was definitely a challenge. There are so many classic

films/movies out there that even narrowing it down to just 10 was tough.

10th Place

Forrest Gump (1994)

Yet, despite all the things he has attained, his one true love eludes him. “Forrest Gump” is the story of a man who rose above his challenges, and who proved that determination, courage, and love are more important than ability.

9th Place

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest tells a classic story of one man (Jack Nicholson) railing against the establishment. With superb acting, memorable characters, and a markedly humanistic story, Cuckoo’s Nest proves to be a timeless tale – as emotionally effective and engrossing today as it was 30 years ago. The film swept the Academy Awards in 1976 – winning Best Picture, Best Director (Milos Forman), Best Actor (Nicholson), Best Actress (Louise Fletcher), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Lawrence Hauben & Bo Goldman) – a feat that hadn’t been accomplished since Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night in 1931.

8th Place

The Dark Knight (2008)

A love triangle develops between Bruce Wayne, Dent and Rachel Dawes.

7th Place

Gone with the Wind (1939)

This classic film narrates the love between Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler during the American civil war. It’s the history of a selfish woman who doesn’t want to admit her feelings about the man she loves, and finally loses him.

6th Place

Sunset Boulevard (1950)

When director Billy Wilder held his first studio screening of Sunset Boulevard, many stormed out in anger. In some cases, they had recognized themselves in a film that took endless jabs at a glamorous yet cruel Hollywood world that created instant sensations and spit them out faster than you can say Mary Pickford (Who, along with Mae West, turned down the role claimed by Swanson). William Holden and Gloria Swanson deliver the performances that defined their careers. Wilder crafted a film that was at once deliciously viscous, comic and dramatic. Hollywood would never be looked at the same way again.

5th Place

Schindler’s List (1993)

Oskar Schindler is a vain, glorious and greedy German businessman who becomes unlikely humanitarian amid the barbaric Nazi reign when he feels compelled to turn his factory into a refuge for Jews. Based on the true story of Oskar Schindler who managed to save about 1100 Jews from being gassed at the Auschwitz concentration camp. A testament for the good in all of us.

4th Place

Citizen Kane (1941)

Kenosha, WI native Orson Welles made this film, considered by many as the world’s greatest cinematic achievement, based on the life of William Randolph Hearst, the famous newspaperman. It established a number of cinematic standards, including the use of deep focus, which lends the film rich texture and deep shadows.

Its brilliant use of atmosphere is not its only joy. Across the board, performances are wonderful – from Welles’ own portrayal of newspaper mogul Charles Foster Kane to Joseph Cotton’s gripping turn as right-hand man Jedediah Leland.

Citizen Kane stands as the ultimate character study and one of the most beautifully-shot epics to ever grace the silver screen.

3th Place

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Alex, a violent juvenile in the near future, is caught after a number of brutal rapes and murders. While imprisoned, he submits to a controversial experiment to make criminals ill at the mildest suggestion of violence or conflict. Now Alex’s victims want to welcome him back into society with the same enthusiasm he has always exhibited when performing his crimes.

2th Place

Drug dealer Virgil Sollozzo is looking for Mafia Families to offer him protection in exchange for a profit of the drug money.

This does not please Sollozzo, who has the Don shot down by some of his hit men. The Don barely survives, which leads his son Michael to begin a violent mob war against Sollozzo and tears the Corleone family apart.

1th Place

Not long ago I was searching online and came across some polite and hard working young man, married to Michelle (Regina Hall), and still living at his father’s home. When his father dies, it is up to Aaron, the oldest son, to arrange the funeral and give the eulogy. The funeral takes place in his father’s home and Aaron tries to put on an appropriate expression on his face to welcome his relatives, including his famous writer brother Ryan (Martin Lawrence), and his father’s friends. But preserving a civil atmosphere will be a hard thing to do, especially, when from the very start, the undertaker makes a horrifying mistake. And Ryan wants to be the celebrity of the event without paying for anything. But those incidents are only minor compared to the information that Aaron and Ryan get from Frank (Peter Dinklage) the mysterious dwarf who is attending the funeral and nobody seems to know. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)
