  Giant (1956)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
Many people call Giant long and overblown but, for me, a New Yorker, there is no way to experience the Texas of the middle of the 20th Century without sitting through this sumptuous 3 hour and 20 minute soap opera.
I thas long been the joke, both within the movies and without, that they do everything big in Texas and this movie is no exception.
Rock Hudson's beating at the hands of the racist diner owner epitomizes for me the movie as it portrays the fact that good does not always triumph over bad, something that happened in most every other movie of the 50's.

  The Iron Giant movie review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
As the Giant is about to be electrocuted (his mum apparently didn't teach him to not chew on live wires), Hogarth saves him and they become the best of friends.
The animation is brilliant, particularly the initial scene involving the waves in the middle of a storm and one where the giant crash lands into the snow.
The giant himself is drawn rather simply, but the artists build the animation up in such a manner that by the end, even though we're only looking at a simple illustration of his two eyes, we're able to empathise with this bulky and innocent creature.

 SPLICEDwire | "The Iron Giant" movie review (1999) "The Iron Giant" review, Brad Bird, Eli Marienthal, Jennifer Aniston
Featurettes that can cue up during the movie with optional on-screen icons are all interesting, but we should have been able to reach them through the menus too, so you don't have to watch the whole movie (carefully!) just to see them.
The Giant -- a fantastically rendered, post-war comic book amalgam of gears and armor plating -- is something of an innocent, having lost his memory in his crash-landing off the coast of Maine.
The last act of "The Iron Giant" comes on a bit abruptly and feels somewhat rushed and gimmicky -- and although it eventually arrives at a feel-good ending (by way of a wonderful homage to Superman), it taps some seriously stressful, heartbreaking scenes as the robot is under attack.

And, while Seagal doesn't have a major role in MY GIANT, his five minutes represent the film's undisputed highlight, because the humorless actor permits himself to be the object a particularly biting satire.
