If you are looking for gritty action that is dark and rough, “Narc” would probably be your best bet. It stars Jason Patric as Nick Tellis, an undercover narcotic agent who is ordered to investigate the murder of fellow undercover narc with the help of that agent’s former partner Lt. Henry Oak, played by [...]

Goodlife Movie Pick: Mr. Untouchable (Godfather or Snitch)
August 14th, 2008 · No Comments · Goodlife Movie Picks
I’ve seen a lot of documentaries in my day, especially ones about the old school gangsta’s that ran 1930’s Chicago, Philly, or Harlem. Mr Untouchable is like none of those. This documentary doesn’t glorify that lifestyle, it condemns it. After watching I actually felt sympathy for these dudes because all of the joy and money [...]

Good Life Moviepick: Children Of Men
August 8th, 2008 · No Comments · Goodlife Movie Picks
‘Children Of Men’ is one of my favourite movies of all time because you get so deeply involved in the adventure. The performances from all the actors are so strong that they leave a lasting impression (Clive Owen became one of my favourite actors, just from watching this movie). The performances are not the only [...]

Goodlife Movie Pick: Princess Mononoke
July 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Goodlife Movie Picks
I know it is a cartoon, but for all of you, who are not familiar with Princess Mononoke, it is one of the greatest and also one of the most underrated movies of all time. Though this movie is set in the world of imagination, it boasts and all-star cast including talents like Jada Pinkett, [...]

Good Life Movie Pick: Hotel Rwanda

Hotel Rwanda is a must see for all because it takes the story of the Good Samaritan taken to the ultimate level. The gripping story is based of the genocide that took place in Hotel Rwanda in 94 where nearly million Rwandans died.
The movie centers around Paul Rusesabagina (played by Don Cheadle) a hotel manager [...]

Goodlife Movie Pick: Taxi Driver
July 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Goodlife Movie Picks, Movie Trailers
This is the movie that made Martin Scorsese, Martin Scorsese. Taxi Driver is one of those films that forces you to question things about morality that you haven’t before. If you haven’t seen Taxi Driver, your education in film hasn’t even begun. Since it’s release it has set a bar which not many movies have reached.

Good Life Movie Pick: Office Space
June 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Goodlife Movie Picks
This week’s movie pick is Mike Judge’s Office Space. If you are a 9 to 5er or ever been one you can definitely appreciate this film because it’s real life, but it’s also very funny. Mike Judge is the guy behind Beavis and Butthead and King of the hell, but with this piece it is [...]

Goodlife Movie Pick: Road To Perdition
June 11th, 2008 · No Comments · Goodlife Movie Picks
If anyone ever told me that Tom Hanks could play a deadly henchman for a mob, I would have laughed and laughed very hard, but Tom played this character in this movie and played it exceptional well. The title, Road To Perdition, sounds like an early 1900 love drama, but don’t let that deceive you [...]

I am not fascinated by the drug industry, because I know that it ’s not as glamourous as rappers and movies depict it to be, but when a good drug movie is made, its made really really well, like this movie, Layer Cake.
I don’t know what it is, but alot of drugs movie start off [...]

Goodlife Movie Pick: Boiler Room
May 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Goodlife Movie Picks, Movie Trailers
Boiler Room is one of those movies that is fast paced and in your face, similar to the likes of Rounders, Blow, and Layer Cake (that is going to be the next goodlife pick). I love these types of movies because they’re like instructionals about doing a certain things, and in this case that certain [...]
