“Fame” Movie Review
“Fame” Plot Summary
An updated version of the 1980 musical, which centered on the students of the New York Academy of Performing Arts.
A surprise
I saw this film by myself in the cinema which gave me the chance to really focus on it-since I went to an early show. I thought the film would be a flop-I was kind of just killing time-in a nutshell. Surprisingly, I found the film very well done, hard and soft in all the right places-and bang on in its portrayals of the disciplinarians that exists in many American families. I was completely blown away by some of the music in the film. All in all I had a really good time and wasn’t expecting to at all
I saw the film Rent when that came out and I was expecting to have a better time than I did at it-I found Rent depressing whereas this one was really very life affirming in many ways
I guess you either get it or you don’t, just like you either appreciate the better dance and trance tunes or ya don’t.

“Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” Plot Summary
When Dr. Henry Jones Sr. suddenly goes missing while pursuing the Holy Grail, eminent archaeologist Indiana Jones must follow in his father’s footsteps and stop the Nazis.
As great as Raiders
The third film of the series is virtually as great and as entertaining as Raider of the Lost Ark. We get to see Indy on a ‘quest’ to find the Holy Grail, which is even rarer than the Ark of Covenant and the Ankara Stones. In fact, this one is Indy’s most challenging adventure yet. To add more greatness to the cast, we get to meet Indy’s father Henry Jones Sr. (played by Sean Connery of James Bond-fame). Seeing Harrison Ford and Sean Connery as father and son gave me that ‘James Bond is Indy’s father’ kind of feeling
The film’s action scenes are great to watch! Spielberg’s directing formulated the action to a higher level than that of the Temple of Doom. In fact, I find the action here the most exciting yet. Overall, The Last Crusade is one of the best movies ever made with action and adventure. It’s right beside Raiders of the Lost Ark on top.

“Slumdog Millionaire” Movie Review
“Slumdog Millionaire” Plot Summary
A Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers.
Slumdog – yes indeed!
So.. this is the great movie I’ve known about for almost a year. Sure I’ve heard about all the hype about it. Read the glowing reviews. So what did I do? After watching many bad movies, I saved this one for a time when I really wanted a winner. My trust is my fellow man at calling a good movie good is blown. Since when does a movie that is completely disjointed become Oscar material? My whole enthusiasm was gone when I saw the cops torturing the kid for winning the game show. What? That’s right. The whole movie is built around a kid that wins the millions on a foreign version of ‘who wants to be a millionaire.’ Oh come on. The kid while acting the part is so unbelievable – as he wins more and more money.. shows ZERO emotion – no wonder they think he cheated! But the torturing done it for me. WAY over the top unbelievable. Then we get the most bizarre flash backs I’ve ever seen to try to ‘explain’ why he knew the answers. The movie is a humiliation on the intelligence of mankind. If this movie was a 10 minute you tube clip I might have enjoyed it. Wasting 2 hours of ones life to sit through this – is something i recommend you do not do.

“True Lies” Movie Review
“True Lies” Plot Summary
When a secret agent learns of his wife’s extra-marital affair, he pursues her and uses his intelligence resources in a job he kept secret from her. add synopsis
Classic
This is one of the few movies in the league of those like Kill Bill and Aliens which you can see over and over again without ever getting bored. James Cameron proves himself once again as the greatest director and writer of all time. Although Arnie and Bill paxton get so many mentions, Art Malik’s performance gets little mention and his performance as always, is excellent. In the villainous role, no one can beat him. The ‘Low Battery’ scene will have you on the floor every time you see it and is perhaps the most memorable movie scene of all time. This movie is completely insane and completely rocks. Its hard to see how anyone could possibly dislike anything about this movie? Its also one of the few which has a very satisfying ending.
