“Transformers” 2007 by Michael Bay – Movie Review
If you think that good battle-robots Autobots and bad battle-robots Decepticons have landed on our dearest planet Earth in 2007 – you’re strongly mistaken. Because they came to our world in the times of the notorious Moscow Olympiad-80, when suddenly bubble-gum and coca-cola appeared in Moscow for the first time. Although the robots landed not in Moscow but in Japan. That is where these amusing robots-transformers were invented. They were the models of different automobiles which then could be transformed into battle robots.
Autobots
The American toy company Hasbro got interested in these toys and bought the rights to produce them in the US. Interested in the American toy company Hasbro, and then bought the rights to their production in the States. Due to the fact that they approach marketing in the USA with all the possible seriousness. That’s why these nameless by the time auto-robots received their personal names. Which is more, they received a whole history explaining which planet they came form and what they do here. Well, and thirdly, the whole comics industry started hard work on creating the epci story of the planet Cybertrone on which the good robots Autobots under the leadership of brave General Optimus Prime (originally it was Prime Time but later reduced to simply Prime) are fighting against the bad robots Decepticons headed by an treacherous Megatron.
Thus, everyone was happy: Hasbro sold megatons of transformers, the Marvel company produced mountains of comics, and Sunbow Production crafted animated cartoons about the adventures of elusive Autobots behind the Decepticons’ enemy line. In the end Sunbow even produced full-length animated film “Transformers” in which Autobots and Decepticons arrive on Earth and start all kinds of battles, while a guy named Spike is helping our folks Autobots. But the movie was a failure. Why? Either due to the fact that there were too many robots and too few people, or due to the fact that the kids already got fed up with transformers – it is hard to say. After that the Transformers have almost disappeared – people lost interested in them. The new type of heroes has settled in the kids’ hearts – Spiderman, Pokemons and the like, resulting in the transformers being forgotten in the far corners of dusty garages. Nobody was interested in the fate of the planet Cybertron anymore.

However, in the mid-nineties Hasbro managed to revive the interest in the transformers. They invented a new concept: robots can now be transformed into animals. After that when the creators imagination started to blossom with new models, the kids’ interest woke up again, resulting in creating fan-communities which could fiercely argue upon which transformer is more cool – a hamster/crocodile or eagle/ram type.

“Cradle 2 the Grave” Movie Review
“Cradle to the Grave” Plot Summary
A jewel thief’s daughter is kidnapped after he steals a collection of prized black diamonds, which aren’t at all what they seem. add synopsis
Loved this little flick
Hey, it’s not Fellini, but I didn’t expect Fellini. It’s a good, old-fashioned, good guys vs bad guys kind of flick. One that’s fairly predictable, you can sit back, grab the popcorn, and just wait for the guys in the white hats to kick the butts of the guys with the black hats
So, the actors aren’t the best I’ve ever seen, but I was actually surprised and pleased with DMX’s performance, probably because I didn’t expect much and I don’t care for his ‘music’ at all. If nothing else, his character did come across as likable and he may surprise us all and improve with time. Both the movies I’ve seen him in, he at least portrays the ‘bad guy who’s not a bad guy at all,’ and at least gets a couple of points from me for trying to be a positive role model. I’ve seen Oscar winners who had worse performances, and people are being pretty hard on him on this board, but I think he did more than OK for the material he had to work with
The movie is provided with the obligatory comic relief with Tom Arnold and Anthony Anderson, and some other supporting actors with whom I’m not familiar, and of course the Jet Li fight sequences are always worth watching. How anyone can move that fast is incredible and I could watch him read the Yellow pages aloud just to watch the fights
So, if it’s a good, old-fashioned throwback to the good guys vs bad guys movie you’re in the mood for, check it out
I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

“Proof of Life” Plot Summary
Alice hires a professional negotiator to obtain the release of her engineer husband, who has been kidnapped by anti-government guerrillas in South America. add synopsis
A good and very entertaining thriller with Russell Crowe
While building a dam in ‘Tecala’, a country situated in the Andes, the chief America engineer ‘Peter Bowman’ (David Morse), is captured by anti-government forces during a raid in the capital. When the rebels discover their identity require $3 million to return safe and sound. However, the company of ‘Peter’, based in Houston, is on the brink of bankruptcy and has canceled the insurance policy against kidnappings, so it cannot provide the money for their rescue. Abandoned by the company, ‘Alice’ (Meg Ryan), the wife of ‘Peter’, must cope with the situation by your account. She hires the services of the negotiator of hostages professional ‘Terry Thorne’ (Russell Crowe), a veteran of SAS, which in recent years has dealt with numerous kidnappings.’Proof of Life’ is a film little considered due to high expectations for its attractiveness argument and that is the first film of Russell Crowe after the great success throughout the world with ‘Gladiator.’ But its director Taylor Hackford has not sought a film committed and complaint, only has sought to expose through a current problem, a simple thriller and fairly, conventional with good scenes of action. Its objective is achieved by far, but it is not at all what has been expected of this film
In terms of its scenes of action, they are very successful and generous, with some contribution of tension well managed. The film is conventional within this genre of films. It has not nothing to do not have seen before, but it knows expose very well the action, although the fabric loving can be considered very secondary fulfills its mission,

“The Pelican Brief” Movie Review
“The Pelican Brief” Plot Summary
A law student uncovers a conspiracy, putting herself and others in danger. add synopsis
Most enjoyable thriller
Another complex legal thriller from author John Grisham (‘The Firm’) is brought professionally to the screen by director Alan J. Pakula (‘Presumed Innocent’).As in the Sydney Pollack film ‘The Firm’, ‘The Pelican Brief’ requires concentration and attention to detail as it relates the story of New Orleans law student Darby Shaw (Julia Roberts), whose theoretic paper, which outlines what she believes to be the reasons behind the brutal assassinations of two Supreme Court judges, lands her in hot water when it passes into the wrong hands. Her brief, it would seem, is much too close to the truth for comfort. So begins a frenetic chase as Darby runs for her life whilst she searches for someone in whom to place her trust. She finds that confidant in Washington Herald reporter Gray Grantham (Denzel Washington), whose determined yet ethical pursuit of the truth is both admirable and effective
Grisham’s involved novel (which probably loses much specific detail in crossing to the big screen) gives the movie a plot that is fascinating enough to carry proceedings alone, however Pakula’s effective direction and his choice of two popular stars does no harm to the cause. Both Roberts and Washington are in good form and give strong performances, as do the impressive supporting cast
A most enjoyable, and occasionally tense, thriller whose beginning and finale are both far outdone by the fast middle

“The Contract” Plot Summary
Ray Keene, a father who wants to redeem himself in the eyes of his son, is trying to bring Carden, a world-class assassin to justice… add synopsis
Entertaining
When I saw the rating of this movie of 5.6 stars I thought that this had to be a very bad and boring film to have such a rate despite having very good actors (Freeman and Cusack), but after watching it I liked this film which I found entertaining
This movie gets what it tries to achieves which is just being a 96 minutes entertaining action film nothing else. I liked the performances specially the one of Morgan Freeman who looks so cool like the killer Carden, and I liked the comments of his character too, John Cusack is very good as the nice man who cares a lot about his son
Ray and his son go camping to the forest but their plan changes when they find the injured killer Carden over there, and they will have to take him to the police despite Cardens friends are looking for him …7 stars = good

This was amazing!
I went into this movie just wanting to watch Gerard because I love him as an actor. When I got in there, I realized that this was not going to be just any movie. This movie was kick ass and I am so glad that I went to see it. I would pay 10 times to go watch this movie in theaters. He really took it over the edge, and the quote that my friends and I are saying since then is ‘It’s going to be biblical’ They really make each scene one for the books with creative ideas and thrilling scenes that keep you wondering what will be in store. It is one of the few movies that my heart was racing and my mind was wondering what would happen next. I love it and cannot wait to see it again.

“Scary Movie 3″ Plot Summary
In the third installment of the Scary Movie franchise, Cindy has to investigate mysterious crop circles and video tapes, and help the President in preventing an alien invasion. add synopsis
One of the funniest movies ever created!
Spoilers herein
In this hilarious third installment of the ’scary movie’ series, Anna Faris is back as Cindy Campbell, who has now graduated from college and is a reporter. Along with her friend Brenda Meeks (regina hall) Cindy finds out about a mysterious video tape that kills whoever watches it 7 days later (spoofing ‘The Ring’) while doing a story about a mysterious crop circle that has appeared in Tom Logan’s (Charlie Sheen) yard. Then, with the help of George (Simon Rex) Cindy has to stop an alien invasion
I thought this movie was absolutely hilarious. I’ve heard a lot of people say negative things about the plot, jokes, etc. why? because those people think too much! This movie is supposed to be totally mindless – and it is, and that’s what makes it funny! I mean, why complain about ‘Scary Movie 3′ when there’s crap out there like ‘Scary Movie 2′???Top 10 funniest Quotes/scenes10) BRENDA: Cindy…the TV’s leaking!9) PRESIDENT HARRIS: These men and woman have died fighting for their country. Send flowers to their bitches and ho’s.8) Cody is drawing Tabitha (aka Samara) and he made a flipbook of her doing a little dance. it’s hilarious (you have to see it to get it)7) GEORGE: (in the rap battle) I’m a white boy but my neck is red I put miracle whip on my wonder bread6) SHERIFF: Watch…what happens…to the taco!5) George is at a rap battle full of African Americans and he puts his hood on…and over his hat, it looks like a cone, like a KKK personBLACK GUY: Au $hit!4) CINDY: Oh, cody! Are you having one of your visions?CODY: I see a little girl. With black hair. She wants to kill you. Your period starts in three…two…one…CINDY: Oww…Cody, what else can you see?CODY: I see a little boy and a grown woman, but no father…CINDY: Oh, Cody…CODY: I see you kneeling in dog $hit…3) Tabitha is leaking water from the well all over Brenda’s floor

CINDY: No, I want GREAT sex!BRENDA: Girl, I know what you talking’ about! You want a guy that goes wham wham wham!(a little preschooler stares at Brenda)BRENDA: DID I SAY STOP DRAWING???1) GEORGE: Okay, then. Fresh. I’ll see you guys uh, tomorrow night!(he turns around and takes his niece out the door)(someone throws a huge container of crayons at the door)BRENDA: Now who the f*ck did that???!!!Also, I’ve heard a number of complaints about how Cody keeps getting hit by cars, basketballs, and thrown out of windows, etc. I mean, it’s not like he got hurt while filming it!!The only reason this movie didn’t get a ten was the michael jackson scene. I thought that was totally disgusting/gross
The opening scene with pamela anderson was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen….(i.e. ‘Are you okay…?’ ‘I’m coming for you, precious…’) I totally recommend it!

“8MM” Movie Review
“8 Millimeter” Plot Summary
A private investigator is hired to discover if a “snuff film” is authentic or not.
One of best movies I have seen
8MM is one of best movies I have seen. Nicolas Cage plays his role very good, which I expected having seen ‘Lord or War ‘recently. The plot is interesting and so are the dialogs between characters. There are quite a few tense moments in the movie which is probably why I liked this movie that much
Again trough it is only a movie as someone may say it shows you a bit of the reality out there- the one which people don’t want to admit that it exists. The movie is basically a mystery with some action elements. My opinion is that its rating on IMDb should be much higher but well I guess not everyone likes movies like this one trough I wonder why since there are many other movies that are much harder to watch than this one
One of the best things about 8 MM is its soundtrack honestly it is rare to find such a carefully chosen music to go with the scenes.

“The Departed” Movie Review
“The Departed” Plot Summary
Two men from opposite sides of the law are undercover within the Massachusetts State Police and the Irish mafia, but violence and bloodshed boil when discoveries are made, and the moles are dispatched to find out their enemy’s identities.
Exciting, writhing mole thriller
An enjoyable, pacy film. It’s let down a bit with rather rudimentary, unlovely filming and a Michael Mann-like unintelligibility in the way in which the script is delivered
But the performances are worth the price of a theatre ticket alone. Leonardo diCaprio is excellent, the equal of a striking Jack Nicholson. Ray Winstone’s accent is rubbish, but the rest of his performance is as good as the best. Matt Damon, Martin Sheen and (‘newcomer’) Vera Farmiga bring up a good seond tier of support acts… but Mark Wahlberg’s performance is as bad as his hair piece (yes, hair piece).
It’s also a peculiarly edited film. Sequences even as short as a few seconds can be made up of many different shots. Scorsese grafts the whole together with a carefully selected and dovetailed soundtrack. It’s a very fluid, even slippery way of pulling the film together, but it lends itself to the duplicitousness of characters and film alike. 7/10

“Big Momma’s House” Plot Summary
An FBI agent disguises himself as an old lady to protect a beautiful federal witness and her son. add synopsis
Great Comedy!
Sure Big Momma’s House has the over-exaggerated characters, the typical modern crude humor and predictable plot – but I found the execution of the movie spot-on. It’s got a very similar aspect as Mrs
Doubtfire, I think you can guess what that is, but despite the predictability, no character development and just mild dialog, I found the movie rather enjoyable because on how funny and well executed Martin Lauren’s performance was. It’s got all the same elements on the typical modern comedy, whether it’d be its crude humor, dialog or appeals but my opinion contracts it as a great comedy, that could easily be enjoyable on the same level of multiple viewings. It’s very funny, got a good ending and also the little sad bit, a recommendation for every Comedy fan who wants a laugh but expect nothing special.
