Movie Train - FILM REVIEWS by Morgan Bell

 
Fresh critical film reviews by young Australian journalist Morgan Bell. A bight-sized opinionated analysis of popular movies and indie/art-house feature films. Explores plot, themes, characters, performances, soundtracks and film technique. Morgan Bell assesses movies in the context of what makes a successful cinema or DVD experience.

Movie Train - July 2009

A list of films that have made me cry. Those emotionally manipulative, sad movies which have you reaching for a box of tissues and sobbing uncontrollably.

Not surprisingly my list contains a lot of death and sickness, animals and children. The unfairness of it all. The innocent coming to a tragic demise.

I do not usually get teary about straight-up romances. This list is more about friendship, companionship, parent/child relationships, and the torments of war and injustice.
