Movie Reviews of The Game

Movie Review: Life is the Ultimate Game
Summary: 5 Stars



Many of you, if not most, will think you do not find this review "helpful" - but, if you heed my advice, you will.

Before you watch this movie read "Busting Loose From the Money Game" by Robert Scheinfeld. If you do that you will watch this movie with a whole new set of eyes. You'll recognize yourself in Van Orton, playing the "Game", acquiring valuable possessions you CAN take with you (such as compassion and understanding), while caught on a seemingly out-of-control ride that, in the end, you are reminded that you asked for.

A thriller I will watch again and again, over the years... especially when my own game appears overwhelming.

Movie Review: What is reality?
Summary: 5 Stars

This has always been one of my all-time favorite movies. Far beyond an ordinary thriller, the story takes the viewer on an incredible journey of the mind and how it shapes our reality and colors our perceptions through experiences, desires, guilt, shame or pride, the past, as well as hopes and fears for the future. Michael Douglas as Nicholas Van Orton perfectly portrays the tension of a successful businessman who is still vulnerable to the shadows of his past and his wishes for something more. Sean Penn plays the black sheep, gift bearing brother Conrad Van Orton.

Do not miss.

Directed by David Fincher,'se7en, 'Fight Club' etc.

Movie Review: Nick VanOrton has it all, but he lacks one thing.......
Summary: 5 Stars

One of my all time favorite movies! Nick VanOrton/Michael Douglas shouldve gotten an oscar/high acclaim in this performance. Adventure/Drama/Mystery/Suspense is what you will get from Michael Douglas (an invesment banker/millionaire) running through the streets of San Francisco in a tailored suit and $2,000 shoes with a blonde who confesses that she aint wearing panties while being stuck in the elevator with Nick. Well Nick who is beginning to realize and experience his gift from his bro, connie (Sean Penn)a "GAME" ...which he obviuosly is not too fond off to the point where towards the end of the movie he jumps off a building...watch this movie!

Movie Review: The Mind Game
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of my favorite movies, but not one that I recommend to everybody. It is a mind game (hence the title), but one that is not super elaborate. The way it is played out takes a convoluted intertwining and lays it out in a long line. You are never sure, which as a hallmark of a great suspense movie. The acting is solid, but not great. The transfer to DVD is very good. If you want to give your mind an aerobic exercise, as opposed to an anaerobic one, this is a good movie to get. Michael Douglas, Sean Penn (surprise!) and Deborah Unger do excellent jobs of acting and making it all real.

Movie Review: six excellent reasons to check out THE GAME and one ?
Summary: 5 Stars

1. ALIEN 3 (flawed but worthy) 2. PANIC ROOM (thrilling , worthy) 3. ZODIAC (riveting , worthy) 4. SE7EN (FREEMAN was born to play SOMMERSET , horrific , worthy) 5. THE CURIOUS CASE OF BEJAMIN BUTTON (sensuous , a celebration of women , worthy) 6. THE GAME (riviting and thrilling , worthy) 7. FIGHT CLUB (surreal , compelling , should be nc-17 , flawed , ?)
