“Kate & Leopold” Movie Review

“Kate and Leopold” Plot Summary

Kate and her actor brother live in N.Y. in the 21st Century. Her ex-boy friend, Stuart, lives above…

Typical Romantic Comedy With A Twist Of Time Travelling

‘Kate and Leopald’ is a typical romantic comedy, only this time one of the protagonists travels from the 30s (?) to modern day New York. It’s clear that one shouldn’t expect anything more than laughter and a few mushy moments of love from this film and that is the case. If one watches it with lower expectations, it can be quite enjoyable. I liked the Hugh Jackman – Meg Ryan pairing. They both share the required chemistry and provide some of the nicer moments. Ryan plays her usual romcom city lass persona (and I haven’t tired myself from seeing her in such roles…yet but I now prefer to see her in different genres ). Hugh Jackman has a knack for comedy and he should do more such films if given a more intelligent script. Breckin Meyer and Liev Schreiber are great. To further prevent yourself from getting irritated, quit analyzing the film as there are several plot holes and some situations seem chopped. You can ask lots of question like how Leopold adapts to modern New York so quickly or how would an ultra-modern Kate (who’s never travelled) make it in 30’s (?) England (?) So one could enjoy it a little if they suspend their beliefs. even so, the ending seems a little too abrupt (predictable as it is). In spite of the flaws, there are the few nice moments and the few funny moments that don’t make it all that bad.

    “Training Day” Movie Review

    “Training Day” Plot Summary

    On his first day on the job as a narcotics officer, a rookie cop works with a rogue detective who isn’t what he appears as.

    Excellent

    This is one of the best movies I ever saw. It was a long time since I saw a such a good movie. First when I heard about this movie I thought that is another ‘gangsta movie’ with a boring story, a gang war or something like that, in the first 15 or 20 minutes I was a bit disappointed but after this I’ve realized that is a great movie. I thought at this movie o hole day after I saw it,is so close to reality, it is like a reality show or a flagrant made by police with a hidden camera, i never thought a movie like this is possible,makes us think at the life we livin’, at the society as it is, naked, without any clothes on it. The movie has a few errors, but at a movie with such a story does not matter a few issues, practically the story and the mode the movie is made ‘repairs’ the issues keeping you close to screen that you can’t see them. Denzel Washington plays awesome, I haven’t seen somebody playing so good in this kind if role since Al Pacino in Scarface, I’m sure that if a person that doesn’t know Denzel Washington as an actor, watches how he plays, that person will probably tel you that is a men taken from the streets, not an actor. Ethan Hawke plays great to, he was probably deserving an Oscar at the time but perhaps it was just bad luck

    It’s an excellent movie with a great story that is waiting for entering Top 250, if you wanna see an exceptional movie you should watch this, I can’t find my words to describe it so I probably have to end my comment here.
