“The One” Plot Summary
A sheriff’s deputy fights an alternate universe version of himself who grows stronger with each alternate self he kills. add synopsis
Jet Li?s best Hollywood movie yet
Yep, that including Cradle 2 the Grave… The fights in this movie are awesome, specially the Li vs Li one. Story-wise, the movie have a few plot-holes, but is a science-fiction movie as well so i thinks that is forgivable. I recommend The One for all the Jet-Li fans and the action movies fans as well. BTW the music rocks!

“Blade” Movie Review
“Blade” Plot Summary
A half-vampire, half-mortal man becomes a protector of the mortal race, while slaying evil vampires.
GOOD ACTION/HORROR MOVIE!!
This was one of those slick action movies that was made to look good on screen, and it did, the vampire fighting sequences were excellent, there was plenty of blood and gore the whole movie looked good to the eye. It was a fun watch and very entertaining. Good movie but I didn’t like how Blade could slice vampires in half and they would just die, it looked good but vampires don’t die by getting sliced in half. Other than the vampires and how many rules were not kept to in this movie, Wesley Snipes gives a good performance as Blade and Stephen Dorff is great as the evil vampire. The story is when Blade’s mother was bitten by a vampire during pregnancy, she did not know that she gave her son a special gift while dying: All the good vampire attributes in combination with the best human skills. Blade grew up to be a vampire hunter for revenge on his mother’s death. The vampires, who managed to infiltrate nearly every major organization, need Blade’s very special blood to summon La Miagra, the blood god, in order to gain reign about the human cattle, as they call us. If you beleive that vampires can only be killed by a stab to the heart and the weapon must stay in the heart and chopping the head off are the only ways to kill a vampire you won’t find that in Blade. But Blade has it’s moments and I would recommend it as a good horror/action movie.

“Dragonball Evolution” Movie Review
“D.B.E.” Plot Summary
The young warrior Son Goku sets out on a quest, racing against time and the vengeful King Piccolo, to collect a set of seven magical orbs that will grant their wielder unlimited power.
This is cinematic filth of the highest degree.
My childhood is ruined. I have witnessed the death of a beloved franchise millions have come to adore and respect. This movie is not an adaptation, nor is it an homage of any sort. It is a mockery. A sheer insult to all those whom cherish Dragonball deep within their hearts and souls
Why does this video-tape recording (I absolutely refuse to deem it ‘film’ status) fail to such a devastating degree? It does not capture any of the charm, wit, excitement, humor, or bad-assery to be found in its source material. James Wong has simply taken the title, characters, and… errm, hairstyles, and has furtively stapled them to the bloody forehead of a poorly scripted, heavily underdeveloped movie about collecting seven golden balls that when gathered, will summon a flying dragon who will grant you one magical wish! How fantastically whimsical!Who cares
There is nothing compelling about this film. It’s painstakingly difficult to care about any character in this film, and that goes for Goku as well. Right from the get-go, you bare witness to a horribly underwhelming fight session between Goku and his Asian(?) grandfather Gohan, who carries a bizarrely flawless American accent.. go figure. The reason I imply confusion behind Gohan’s Asian ethnicity is that his grandson Goku is, well… nevermind. It isn’t even worth getting into; the casting for this movie made no sense. No consistency whatsoever. Disgusting
The dialogue is cheesy and executed improperly in every way conceivable. You want cheesy dialogue done right? Go watch the Wachowski brothers’ Speed Racer released last year, truly a masterpiece as far as anime adaptations are concerned. What is improper about it, you inquire? It causes you to cringe without the ability to hold back. Every single word muttered is a bleak reflection on each actor’s terrific inability to act in any way, shape or form
Speaking of form.. Don’t even expect half a thrill from this movie’s excuse for action sequences. These actors cannot fight under any set of circumstances. The wirework is so blatant and poorly imposed that I swear to have caught eye of a couple unedited out wires left in some of the more acrobatic scenes
Really? Come on, Hollywood. Come on, Fox
These sort of mistakes became a thing of the past DECADES prior. If a movie based on the almighty Dragonball franchise is going to suck this severely OUTSIDE of the fight sequences, at LEAST refine those few scenes (Dragonball’s saving graces, so to speak) into something worthy of admission price. Get a couple professional choreographers on the set to help out, if you don’t mind. (what a strange and unusual concept, huh!?) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; if this entire project had been up to the legendary Stephen Chow, we could have had a sheer masterpiece on our hands. (refer to Kung Fu Hustle, what I believe to be the most faithfully Dragonballesque live action movie ever made) I shall continue no further. This movie does not deserve any longer of a review. In fact, slice this eloquently written verdict in half and it would still be far too flattering in length
I feel that if FOX wishes to maintain any credibility they have left with their audiences, they will hold back on dumping this atrocious landfill upon the United States’ precious array of cinemas. Of course, we know this is not realistic
It’s nice to dream.

“Jurassic Park” Movie Review
“JP” Plot Summary
During a preview tour, a theme park suffers a major power breakdown that allows its cloned dinosaur exhibits to run amok.
I LOVE this movie!
This film is easily one of my favorite movies. I saw this movie when it came out in theaters back in 1993; I was only 9-years-old and, though some scenes scared the crap out of me, it blew me away. I was amazed at how, for the first time in a movie, I felt like I was watching REAL dinosaurs. For those who haven’t seen this movie (there are people like that?), it centers on a billionaire’s attempt to create a new amusement park on an isolated island creating bio-engineered dinosaurs; when a group of specialists are brought in to examine the park, things go terribly wrong
I absolutely loved the story of this film; I loved it so much I had my parents buy me Michael Crichton’s novel and I read it 3 times through the course of my fifth grade year. It was then that I fell in love with the work of Crichton and found myself reading the rest of his work. While, yes, the movie did divert pretty heavily from the book, I still felt it was a great adaptation. It’s Spielberg’s version of Crichton’s story, so I don’t mind the mass differences. The movie is much more family-friendly than Crichton’s novel and I would love to see a another version eventually, a darker version that sticks closer to Crichton’s novel. Unlike most instances when I can say ‘The book was better’ or ‘The movie was better’, I don’t feel the need in this case because they were both fantastic
The cast did a terrific job. Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Richard Attenborough…all were great in their roles. Though my favorite performance came from Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm, the arrogant chaos theoretician. I’ve been a fan of Goldblum for a while and I thought he was the perfect choice for the role in this movie. Of course, I have to rave a bit about the film’s special effects. As I mentioned before, this film contains probably the most realistic dinosaurs seen in cinema. A seamless combination of practical animatronics and CGI were used to bring the dinosaurs to life. By now, the effects seem a little dated but they continue to stand strong even now, 15 years later
This movie is one of those films that every must see. It grossed $350 million in the US alone. The film marked yet another milestone in special effects in cinema. And most importantly, it’s just entertaining.

“Mulan” Movie Review
“Mulan” Plot Summary
To save her father from death in the army, a Chinese maiden secretly goes in his place and becomes one of China’s greatest heroes in the process. add synopsis
Delightful Animated Girl Hero who Breaks with Disney Traditions
‘Mulan’ is not quite a chick flick and it’s much better than ‘Pochantas.’ It has terrific animation and I forgot I was even watching animation. The script has some funny lines. The music is not great (the writers didn’t ring any bells with me as to their past work) but good lyrics. I was disappointed that the music wasn’t as Asianish as ‘Lion King’ is Africanish. And the final rap is a bit off-putting, though the segue into the Stevie Wonder song was fun
Eddie Murray isn’t Robin Williams but he’s fun. At least they do use quite a few Asian actors’ voices – Wing Na Wen (‘E.R.’), George Takei (‘Star Trek’), B.D. Wong (‘Oz’) Pat Morita (‘Karate Kid’). I think ‘Mulan’ is the first Disney animation post-Katzenberg and there’s a couple of digs at him and responses to the criticisms of how he did the girl stars. There was a lot of criticism of how Katzenberg personally insisted on Jasmine in ‘Aladdin’s impossible Barbie shape and ‘Mulan’ takes that on with a line about how stupid it is to want such a narrow waist. Definitely a much more positive body image movie than under the Katzenberg regime. There’s no dead mother syndrome here, well for Mulan anyway. The Captain’s mother isn’t mentioned. Not only is there a mom, but even a grandmom. The father is still Freudian – he’s wounded. All the Disney dads of daughters have some incapacity or other or tragic flaw
Refreshingly, there’s no wedding at the end with birds chirping as a canopy. The courting is assumed and the grandmom invites the captain to live there forever–but Mulan shuts her up. (originally written 7/23/1998)

“Seven Years in Tibet” Movie Review
“Seven Years in Tibet” Plot Summary
True story of Heinrich Harrer, an Austrian mountain climber who became friends with the Dalai Lama at the time of China’s takeover of Tibet.
One Of The Most Unique Adventures Of The Twentieth Century
Tibet has certainly fascinated people all over the world. The hidden land in the most forbidding place on the planet not at either pole. In its day Lost Horrizon made quite a bit of money for its author James Hilton. But the real story of Heinrich Harrer is better than anything a fictional author could have thought up
Brad Pitt is Harrer in Seven Years In Tibet and this has become my favorite film of his. Heinrich Harrer, a world famous mountain climber and Austrian national hero goes on an expedition in 1939 to conquer an unclimbed peak in the Himalayas. While he’s doing his mountain climbing Germany of which Austria is now part of marches into Poland and World War II begins. Harrer and his party are interred as enemy aliens
In 1942 Harrer escaped and he and a friend played by David Thewlis make their way into Tibet. The rest of the film is the seven years he spent there, centered around the unique friendship he formed with the child ruler of Tibet, the Dalai Lama. This in fact is the same Dalai Lama who today is possibly the world’s greatest and non-aligned apostle of the gospel of peace
Brad Pitt is never better in the film than he is with the three child actors who play the Dalai Lama at various stages of his life. The physical hardship that he and Thewlis endure just getting into Tibet is adventure enough. But the spiritual journey he undergoes in his time there makes this one of the most unique adventure stories of the last century
One thing I liked about Seven Years in Tibet is that no effort was made to cover up Harrer’s Nazi background. In an alternate universe one can speculate on what might have happened to him had he actually had to serve in the army in World War II. His internment saved him from possibly being involved any number of atrocities. God, fate, some kind of higher power saved him for something wonderful. The cinematography is breathtaking, this film had an incredible number of locations. Note that it was shot in British Columbia, in Argentina with the Andes serving as the Himalayas, Austria and even some establishing footage was shot in Tibet itself on the sly
Tibet’s status is unique unto the world. It has been part of China since the Ming dynasty. It’s referred to properly as the autonomous region of Tibet. China has given it autonomy in varying degrees over the past several centuries, it’s never been truly independent. The Communist regime back in the days of Mao Tse-tung brutally asserted it’s sovereignty a few times, most notably in late fifties when the Dalai Lama was forced to flee Tibet and live in Northern India where he resides to this day. That is when he’s not traveling the world as it’s foremost advocate of non-violence
It is sad that this film did not get more box office than it did. Brad Pitt, David Thewlis, director Jean Jacques Arnaud are all persona non grata in the People’s Republic of China for making this film. Quite a market indeed to be shut out of for a stand for humanity
It’s to be hoped that one day the Tibetans will be free. Until then they have their unique brand of Buddhism to sustain them and this wonderful film to tell their story.

“Final Destination” Movie Review
“Final Destination” Plot Summary
After having a vision of his friends crashing in a plane, he tells them not to get on only later his friends start getting killed one by one.
Surprisingly good movie!
I went to see ‘Final Destination’ without any expectations, I havent really seen any commercials for it and theres no well known actors in it
I was surprised on how good it was. I saw a couple of comments on the IMDb before seeing it, and noticed that it was being said to be quite the same as Scream, for instance. I do not agree.’Scream’ was the first in a series of ‘new’ slasher movies, but it`s originallity really disappeared after the first one. The story of a serial killer has after ‘Scream’ been portrayed in films like: ‘I know what you did last summer’ and ‘Urban Legend’. Another likeness amongst theese movies is that there is always young people being slayed of, and that was the only thing that annoyed me a bit about *’Final Destination’ as well
On the other hand, ‘Final Destination’ is quite original when it comes to ‘the killer’. Now, i won`t give anything away, but it`s really different, and if you`re ready for something else than the story of a mad serial killer doing it over and over (Friday the 13th, Halloween, Scream, and hundreds of others…).The cast is good and the best scene is in the aircraft and when Terry decides to take the bus….Enjoy!

“The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” Movie Review
“The Mummy 3″ Plot Summary
In the Far East, Alex O’Connell, the son of famed mummy fighters Rick and Evy O’Connell, unearths the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin — a shape-shifting entity cursed by a witch centuries ago.
Fun
My one-word summary pretty much says it all for me. Mummy 3 is, like the previous installments, a fun distraction from all the bad news that the front page of the newspaper reminds us of every day
Frasier is back as Rick O’Connell. Leaner and meaner from the last time we saw the character in 2001, Frasier brings the same A-game to what is essentially B-movie fun. Much has been made of Maria Bello replacing Rachel Weisz as Evie. Yes, Maria is no Rachel, but still, she is more than up for the challenge. Everyone involved seems to be having a lot of fun. It was great to have John Hannah back as Jonathan, he is always great to have around to lighten the atmosphere. Luke Ford is believable as Alex O’Connell. He has many of the same traits and physicality of Frasier’s ‘Rick’ that you believe this is what Rick and Evie’s could would look like and act like. The effects, like in the previous films, are good enough to tell the story, but will not win any academy awards. Many miss that point; these films are supposed to appear lower budget and have predictable stories. They are homages to the films that the Indy series is steeped in. There is nothing highbrow here, but there is plenty of entertainment for a much needed distraction
Jet Li does a lot with saying very little. His Emporer is much like Imotep in that he spends a good portion of the film not in flesh form. He is given much more screen time than I thought he would. I did think there was a martial arts geek moment missed when the fight between Li and Yeoh was not longer. These are two of the greats and it would have been fun to see them go at it longer
The story is pretty much the usual fare for the Mummy films. We have an opening prologue that sets the stage and then our heroes stumble into the middle of everything and some how come out on the end. Simple, but fun story telling. All in all, great way to spend 2hrs just sitting back and watching the O’Connell’s and Co. take on another adventure.

“Hudson Hawk” Plot Summary
A cat burglar is forced to steal Da Vinci works of art for a world domination plot. add synopsis
A good Saturday afternoon movie
Some movies you like and you just can’t explain it. The guy next to you is shouting ‘Garbage!’ and you are in the aisles laughing your a** off.
OK so the acting is overdone. News flash. It is supposed to be! It’s all overdone! The Richard Grant and Sandra Bernhard do a superb evil duo impression. Danny Aiello and Bruce are constantly getting into and out of impossible situations and having fun and being funny while doing it. The bottom line here is that I don’t think Bruce Willis intended this to be a serious film. It was a joke from the beginning and it provided a host of great and memorable laughs. When Bruce is on the hospital gurney and catches a cigarette, has a puff and then grimaces ‘Ewww, Menthol’ and throws it away. I nearly split my side. To a non-smoker that probably isn’t funny. As a former smoker and hater of menthol cigarettes I thought it was classic! Bottom line, the humor is subtle for this film. It relies on you to suspend your reality and you’ll have a great time. Try to pick apart its plot holes and improbable situations and you won’t. Take it for what it is, one man’s sense of humor. Personally I think Bruce Willis has a great sense of humor. I get it. Do you?

“Flashpoint” Plot Summary
An agent battles against three brothers of a powerful Vietnamese gang.
Awesome re-entry into the world of Kung Fu action
I haven’t watched as many action movies in the last 10 years as I used to
But this movie (‘Flashpoint’ in English) and S.P.L. have got me dying for more – awesome, eye-opening displays of what’s going on in martial arts action movies these days
The final showdown in this movie has set the bar for both Hollywood and Asian action movies to try and live up to. It’s so cool to see MMA fighting mixed in with more traditional Kung Fu (and guns!) In terms of action movies, I give this a 9/10 – if you are looking for a good action movie, you’ll enjoy this one!
