“Casino Royale” Plot Summary
In his first mission, James Bond must stop Le Chiffre, a banker to the world’s terrorist organizations, from winning a high-stakes poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro.
Bond with a touch of the the Bourne supremacy
I saw this at a special premiere and i was amazed. having never been a Bond fan i wasn’t really expecting much from this. After watching Brosnans invisible car in the previous incarnation I thought it could only get worse. How wrong was I! this film is gritty and sharp. the dialogue is sharp and well thought out with Daniel Craig being the DEFINITIVE Bond. He exudes confidant menace. They have gone back to basics with this Bond ie character and dialogue driven and not thankfully gadget driven. Not only is it the best bond film out so far its one of the years best films out. They have borrowed some elements from the Bourne series of films which is long overdue on the franchise, more realistic fight sequences and with Daniel Craig actually looking like a physically capable man instead of the middle aged paunch of Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan who both quite frankly couldn’t beat up a Ritz cracker.

“The Invasion” Movie Review
“The Invasion” Plot Summary
As a Washington psychiatrist unearths the origin of an alien epidemic, she also discovers her son might be the only way it can be stopped.
Don’t even bother to find fault with it
I don’t always listen to film critics but when three reasonably reliable ones all give this movie a 2/4, I should take heed. Why did I watch it then? I am a Nicole Kidman fan. Sure enough, Kidman was in every scene, if not every frame. But that was about it
I won’t even bother finding fault with this movie because it is so formulaic that it gives you everything you expect, which isn’t much. If you watch close to 200 movies a year (granted not all of them Hollywood), you have seen them all divorced professional mother with young (ten-ish) son and good-guy boyfriend, mass hysteria in which you just don’t know which one is a sinister ‘them’, just to name the two key elements. There is really nothing seriously wrong about this movie that a woman and her son have become the only people among thousands in the city that are unaffected is something that Hollywood expects you to accept without as much as a blink. Nor is the split-personality change (of the movie, I mean) from a dark, sinister suspense into a chaotic havoc of wild chases anything that you should really criticize because you’ve got to have these things in the movie. By the way, this movie is a sort of a partial remake of ‘Invasion of the body snatches’, if you don’t already know and whether it’s the fourth or the fifth depends on who you talk to
Yes, there are some good, damned good actors in the caliber of Daniel Craig, Jeremy Northam and Jeffrey Wright but in this movie they may as well be props. A terrible waste, you say, but these people got to have a paycheck every now and then too. So in the end, there’s just Kidman. This isn’t exactly her bid for another Oscar, but she does a fine job here, limited scope notwithstanding.

“Seabiscuit” Plot Summary
True story of the undersized Depression-era racehorse whose victories lifted not only the spirits of the team behind it but also those of their nation. add synopsis
Good movie
One of my favorite movies. Movies based off of books make me read the book, but with this, that isn’t so. This movie and the Harry Potter ones are good enough that I don’t need to read the book- and I read all the time.. avid reader. When I first watched it years ago, it was a little boring at the beginning. I now fast forward the beginning, as I already know it and want to watch the horse parts. I think horse people would like this movie more than non-horse people. But all movies will have people that like it and don’t; different tastes and opinions, but I like this movie. There were inappropriate scenes that I’d hate when I was younger, but the horse racing is exciting. I think Seabiscuit wins… and that was like ‘Duh.’ Of course he wins. I like things that are odd/different and unlikely to succeed, so I liked the plot, the odd little horse, large jockey…

“King Kong” Movie Review
“Kong: The Eighth Wonder of the World” Plot Summary
In 1933 New York, an overly ambitious movie producer coerces his cast and hired ship crew to travel to mysterious Skull Island, where they encounter Kong, a giant ape who is immediately smitten with leading lady Ann Darrow.
Jackson’s Soulful, Spunky, Spectacular Labor of Love
I was one of the lucky winners of the Kong is King.net World Premiere Ticket contest, so my husband and I had the pleasure of seeing KING KONG in Times Square’s Loews E-Walk Theatre. I knew I’d like it the minute I saw the Art Deco opening credits, very reminiscent of RKO’s style. The movie only got better from there, carrying us moviegoers on a roller-coaster ride of adventure, romance, and eye-popping special effects. What raises Jackson’s take on KING KONG above other rock’em-sock’em action blockbusters is that it’s so clearly a labor of love in every sense of the term, a spectacle with soul and spunk. It’s not every rollicking adventure film that begins with scenes of life in 1933 New York City, when the Great Depression was at its worst. No wonder plucky but vulnerable actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts is at her most beautiful and winsome as a more proactive version of Fay Wray’s star-making role) is willing to take a chance with fast-talking movie producer/director Carl Denham (Jack Black, a rascally delight) on his latest project, involving leaving for the South Seas that very night
The characters are no mere genre archetypes; before their adventure begins, Jackson and his talented cast let us get to know and care about every one of them. When crewmen from the S.S. Venture get injured or killed by Skull Island’s various fearsome natives and beasts, we mourn them. When Ann and playwright Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody combines strength and sensitivity wonderfully as this unlikely hero. He gets my vote for Movie Mensch of the Year!) connect on screen, we’re moved and rooting for them to get together, especially after they share one of this year’s best screen kisses. Even the calculating Denham wins us over with his sheer force of will. A real Orson Welles type, the guy just loves making movies — and money — so much he’ll go to insane lengths to make his project a reality, whether it involves outrunning his creditors, shanghaiing Driscoll on the Venture, or tricking his cast and crew onto uncharted Skull Island
Most importantly, King Kong himself captivates us, thanks to a combination of WETA’s amazing special effects and the range of emotion provided by a motion-captured Andy Serkis. If only one cast member gets an Oscar nomination, I say give it to Serkis for his wonderful performances as both Kong and Lumpy the cook! :-) Kong has never been just another scary big ape in any of the previous film versions of his story, but Jackson and Serkis make him particularly engaging, not just because he looks so convincingly weatherbeaten, but he moves like an ape (on all fours, thank you) and has the facial expressions of a human. As a result, we can see how Kong’s terrifying side is influenced by his tender side. Yes, I said ‘tender.’ How else can you describe his protectiveness towards Ann on Skull Island after she wins him over by performing her lively vaudeville act? When Kong does go nutzoid, it’s because either he or Ann are being threatened, whether by people, planes, or Skull Island’s jaw-dropping, scream-inducing array of monsters and aborigine tribespeople. Jackson & Company give the big guy plenty of dizzying set pieces to show his stuff, involving everything from dinosaurs, toothy insects as long as your arm, and speeding taxicabs in New York City traffic (the scene where Brody did his own stunt driving; all those years of drag-racing on the streets of Woodhaven, Queens really paid off! :-), to say nothing of the dazzling Empire State Building climax. Moreover, Andrew Lesnie’s cinematography is as gorgeous as it is kinetic; Adrien Brody should make sure Lesnie photographs every film he’s in from now on, because he’s never looked so handsome as he does here! :-) KING KONG is over 3 hours long, yet I never once thought to look at my watch. It’s 3+ hours and the price of admission well-spent.

“The Tournament” Movie Review
“The Tournament” Plot Summary
Every seven years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 30 of the world’s deadliest assassins…
Very Entertaining
The Tournament is not a serious film, let me just get that out of the way. It comes off as serious, sometimes, but it’s always laughable. What this film is, is seriously entertaining. It’s surprisingly brutal, with some messy, blood dripping kills and far more human bodies exploding that you would believe. But the films is far from serious
What we get is a story about the thirty greatest assassins hunting each other down in a tournament for money. That’s about it. There’s something in there about revenge, betrayal, blah blah blah. Who cares really, right? Honestly, if you’re looking for some kind of emotional story, you’ve come to the wrong place. The plot conveys the always fun killers in a killing tournament type story, which you can find sprinkles of Smoking Aces, Battle Royale, and The Comdemned in. What the film does do right, most of all, is not hold back. There is gore galore here, with decapitations, bullet wounds, people exploding, and lots of fingers flying off
The films is seriously flawed, yes. Ving Rhames is laughable as he cries through most of the film. He’s made to be a total bad ass, but only delivers half the time. It’s especially hard to believe when you have a whole lot of bad asses running around who could easily take out Rhames. Most notable of these bad asses are Kelly Hu, in what could easily be called the lead role, who once again displays her talent for kicking ass. We also have Sebastien Foucan, a parkour wielding bad ass who has one of the best action scenes in the film, and Scott Adkins, whose brief appearance leaves a lasting impression as one of the best one on one battles in the film. Overall, this is just a film of a bunch of bad ass people kicking each others…well, you get the point
I’m not going to say this is a good film. I will say it’s well directed and well filmed. Fights were actually enjoyable, as the director wisely chose to avoid the all too commonly used shaky cam and close ups. The script is paper thin, yes, and the acting leaves a great deal to be desired. But once again, this is a film about bad asses being bad asses. Kicking said ass and taking names. So forget about all the Oscar worthy stuff. Just sit back and enjoy some, well, ass getting kicked. Cause it’s a hell of a ride.

“Quantum of Solace” Plot Summary
Seeking revenge for the death of his love, secret agent James Bond sets out to stop an environmentalist from taking control of a country’s valuable resource.
This is the best product ever made
This is absolutely best product ever made. But I like movies and films, that’s why I rate this at 2. In addition, this product is made by either people with hyperactivity disorder or made for such people: the entire product is made up of sequences that last only fraction of a second: the action lasts only fraction of a second then the screen shows some other action unrelated to previous action. Thus, because the entire product is made from cuts of action that last only fraction of a second, the entire product is very hard to watch. For me, it caused dizziness and head spins. But hyperactive kids will probably find it amazing to watch: it is like watching those screen savers – Windows’ Mystify, StarField, and other flying in your face things that are hard to watch. But again, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Decent comedy
OK now this movie wasn’t bad at all, I am a pretty big Robin Williams fan, I mean like I love Mrs. Doubtfire, RV, and a couple other of his movies and stand up specials too. Even though I thought he was a bit held back in this one since he was the playing the role of a reverend and couldn’t say his normal jokes that makes him hilarious. John Krasinski and Mandy Moore weren’t bad as the couple who are struggling to get married but then realize that there is more to it than they realized. Overall I give it a 7 out of 10 because I had a few laughs but it probably could have been better. I would recommend this to all Robin Williams fans, just don’t expect him to be hilarious in this one and to comedy fans as well.

“Jaws” Movie Review
“Jaws” Plot Summary
When a gigantic great white shark begins to menace the small island community of Amity, a police chief, a marine scientist and grizzled fisherman set out to stop it.
Finally, 33 years later, I’ve seen the movie that reminded us to not go in the water…
‘Jaws’ is a movie for the ages. It’s an example of what happens when the right people come together for the right reasons, for the right movie
Firstly, author Peter Benchley co-wrote the screenplay (the screenplay itself is adapted from his own novel of the same name) that became one of the new, classic scary-stories of our time: a huge great white shark is terrorizing the residents of a small New England beach community. Amity Police Chief Brody (the recently departed Roy Scheider), marine expert Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and grizzled shark hunter Quint (the late Robert Shaw) are the heroic three who volunteer to have a climatic showdown with this man-eating menace appropriate described as mother nature’s ultimate killing machine
I should make it clear that for years I was never one of this movie’s biggest fans. So I just kind of avoided it – the theme just didn’t appeal to me, since I’ve never been afraid to go swimming at the beach. But guess what? ‘Jaws’ is the classic adventure-horror of our times, and I am now amongst one of its many, many fans. A lot of things are classic about this movie – it’s pointless to even describe them here
Also, I’m sure there are a number of scientific inaccuracies about the true nature of sharks (the recently departed shark hunter who inspired ‘Quint’ always said he felt sorry for the shark in this movie) and whether or not they are truly something to fear – but, you know what? – it’s Hollywood, they always win. And I’m also sure that the liberties with sharks were liberties well-taken for the sake of dramatic potential: This movie did its job in scaring the living daylights out of a lot of people
Most importantly, other than serving up great scares, suspense and adventure, ‘Jaws’ is responsible for starting the career of Hollywood director Steven Spielberg. ‘Jaws’ was his claim to fame; it’s also the movie credited for starting the summer blockbuster phenomenon (this currently ranks pretty high amongst one of the highest-grossing movies of all time), and spawning three sequels and countless imitators. Spielberg would go on to do great things in his career, long after ‘Jaws,’ and he still continues to do great things to do this day because of this movie. It’s probably one of my favorite movies of his and one of my favorite movies of all time.’Jaws’ is a movie not likely to ever go away any time soon. That is part of its appeal: its ability to remain an important piece of cinema and a pop culture phenomenon that continues to genuinely frighten us even 33 years after its release. And that is also the mark of a truly great film. It’s a powerful example of what film-making can really do when the right people are involved in the right movie, for the right reasons.10/10

“Munich” Movie Review
“Munich” Plot Summary
Based on the true story of the Black September aftermath, about the five men chosen to eliminate the ones responsible for that fateful day.
Incredible film with a beautiful message
The film starts off at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany. A group of Arab terrorists capture and later murder 11 Israeli athletes. The Israeli community is outraged with the murders and they set out to investigate who planned the massacre, in order to send assassins to settle the score. Eric Bana (who plays Avner) is chosen as the lead assassin and the film takes us on a thrilling, violent and heartbreaking ride watching how Bana and his team accomplish their morbid task and the dangers they go through in order to finish it
After the film ended, I thought about the reviews that complained it was too cold and detached for their taste. I Don’t know why some critics felt nothing because I did care for Eric Bana and his family. At first it’s hard to like him for what he’s doing, but after we see his remorse, guilt and paranoia(nightmares, trouble sleeping, fear of being murdered) start to kick in as why he’s doing what he’s doing and if his actions will accomplish anything, I began to care for him. The film also offers great suspense and the haunting score adds depth to it. We know Avner (Bana) is an assassin, he has to kill people and the film builds an unnerving suspense around this; anything can go wrong with the operations and we fear for the life of innocent people such as the target’s family or innocent bystanders who have nothing to do with the events in Munich
Another complain I’ve seen from a few people is that the film had no point. My guess is they weren’t paying attention since Avner (bana) had two discussions with other characters, which clearly show what the film is ultimately about; the discussion with Ephraim (Geoffrey Rush) at the end of the film and the discussion with Ali (Omar Metwally) outside the safe-house. I thought the film was made to show how pointless and absurd revenge can be, that violence cannot bring about peace. Group A kills people from Group B and vice versa, but it doesn’t stop there, the slain people are replaced the endless cycle of killing continues. This in effect made the film thought-provoking, it makes you think about subjects you wouldn’t normally think of or discuss with other people. Thinking about it fills you with sadness since the events in it are in reality still happening and it’s sad to see how the two groups (Jews AND Arabs) don’t realize that death and violence will continue if they don’t learn to listen and forgive others and let the authorities decide what punishment people should get.
