The Insider was directed by the award winning director Michael Mann and released on 28 October 1999. The movie was filmed several places but most importantly in Alabama. The movie won 21 awards and was nominated for 7 Oscars and got another 31 nominations. The was nominated Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role Russell Crowe, Best Cinematography Dante Spinotti, best Director Michael Mann, Best Editing William Goldenberg, Paul Rubell and David Rosenbloom. These are just some of the 7 Oscar nominations and the 21 award wins the film got. The cast in this movie is excellent we have Al Pacino in the main role, Russell Crowe, Christopher Plummer, Diane Venora, Philip Baker Hall and many more Hollywood super actors. The film was a huge success and the director has only made quality films. The story and the actors are simply perfect.

The story is based on a true story about a CBS 60 Minutes-episode in 1994 on malpractices in the tobacco industry that was not aired because CBS parent company Westinghouse objected. Pacino plays the 60 Minutes Producer. Pacino really offers quality to this movie filmed in Alabama together with Russell Crowe, this is simply a movie you have to watch.

Firehead (1991)

Firehead was directed by Peter Yuval in 1991 and written by Jeffrey Mandel. The movie was filmed in Mobile, Alabama, USA and offers you a mix of action and Thriller. The main actors are Christopher Plummer as Col. Vaughn, Chris Lemmon as Warren Hart and Martin Landau as Adm. Pendleton. Even though the movie got some good actors the movie and the plot is really bad.

The plot is about Col. Vaughn (Christopher Plummer) is working as a chemist at a laboratory. One day a Russian cyborg with telekinetic powers terrorizes the city and the government wants Col. Vaughn to stop the crazy killing machine. After a while Col. Vaughn finds out that the cyborg is stronger than expected and it is up to Col. Vaughn to save the world from pain and suffering.

Christopher Plummer plays as the main actor in this movie. He fills out the role well and if the movie spent a little bit more on hire better writers, it could actually been an okay movie after all. Martin Landauâ€™s performance was also good and we can witness exactly why 3 years later he won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Ed Wood. Overall a good cast in a poor movie production.
