The Town

In this work he provided me, and hopefully many viewers, with a great heist themed movie combining new and old elements to perfection. He showed us brightly good and bad, right and wrong, foundations and what's built on them supplied by a bold script and strengthened by the powerful performances by the whole cast.
I consider this work is the best action thriller ever made, right after "Heat".
I consider myself a loyal fan now to Director Ben Affleck, and I can't wait for his next project.

Director Christopher Nolan is a magician. A real one. Imagination is his source of magic. In this particular work he molded many ingredients in his cauldron. International talent (casting agent, stand up please) + all that is interesting about the theories of "dreams" + complicated plot that magnifies and intensifies these "dreams" + The visual effects that match with such imagination and plot.
The result, or should I dare and say, the "reality", of this combination is a smashing piece of modern cinema. A "reason" for any of us to go to the theater and enjoy the magic of movies.
Enemy at the Gates

A very interesting movie that takes us to a new dimension of WWII. Good performances from the whole cast with except a great one from Ed Harris. The cat and mouse game that two opposing snipers play within the horrific Stalingrad's atmosphere is very well studied and perfectly executed. The far lengths that the two rivals go to, and their obsession to hunt each other do are the most interesting thing within the screen play.
