I bought this for my husband's birthday. We liked it...it was made way back when computers were pretty new, so it's not up-to-date as far as computer technology is concerned. But it's a good movie, lots of action (in my opinion...I tend to get really involved in movies), and not too predictable... more

Excellent acting, excellent social commentary. I am amazed how many students have no idea what it was like for people of color a few years ago (it's still that way in many areas of our nation). This movie brought that home in a real way and helped to open the eyes of our students - including those of color. ... more

An incredible movie, I don't know how this never became a classic!I'm not African American but this movie really tells the story of the early stages of integration. Today, white folks would find it politically impossible to resort to "community associations" to keep blacks out of their neighborhoods though I'm sure there are some who devise less conspicuous rules to try to accomplish the same thing... more

Starring: Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sidney Poitier
April 27, 2010
"The Jackal" is a remake of the 1973 movie "The Day of the Jackal". In that movie, a professional hit man known only as The Jackal is hired to assassinate French president De Gaulle. His perfect murder plot is foiled only at the very last second, in a closing scene that's almost a cult classic. In the new version, The Jackal is hired by a foreign mobster to take out a high ranking American official... more

| 8. Shoot to Kill |
|
Starring: Sidney Poitier, Tom Berenger, Kirstie Alley, Clancy Brown, Richard Masur
Directed By: Roger Spottiswoode
September 30, 2003
SHOOT TO KILL is worth watching not only for the fun interaction between Poitier and Berenger but, for fans of Poitier, it's probably even more relevant that their man, after ten years of directing, finally returns to the front of the camera. Not too surprisingly, he's as good as ever. No one says his lines quite like Sidney Poitier.
He plays veteran FBI agent Warren Statin, and the film... more
