After Flight 93, this is the second movie about the attack on the World Trade Center to commemorate that tragic day. Based on the search-and-rescue operation carried out in New York's World Trade Center, it follows two police officers. These two police officers were the last to leave the Towers alive. Director Oliver Stone gathered a fantastic cast to tell this story of courage and heroism. People should remember what happened on September 11 when many people met their deaths not at war but in their workplace..

This is one of my favourite sites. It is called "Four Word Film Review". It is unusual because you won't see lengthy reviews there. In order to put your own review on this site you have to register, but if you simply want to visit the site and see what others have done, feel free. The idea is that you give your opinion of a recent film in just four words, whether you hated it or loved it. To give you an idea, here is an example. This is what one person wrote about Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers: "magic works second time". A few words can mean so much!

Enter a unique world of mystical creatures and magic. Filmed in Hungary with a cast including John Malkovich and Joss Stone, Eragon is a story about a teenage boy, whose life changes when he finds a dragon egg. The tender age of the main character doesn't prevent him from being smart and brave in a very adult way. The movie is an adaptation of the fantasy novel by Christopher Paolini, who wrote the book when he was 15 years old. That explains why the character of a young boy is so real.
