    “The Punisher” Movie Review

    “The Punisher” Plot Summary

    After his wife and family are killed, G-Man Frank Castle takes it upon himself to distribute punishment to those responsible for the vendetta.

    GREAT MOVIE! vigilante-style justice done right

    ‘The Punisher’ is a shining example of revenge and vigilante-style justice done right. It’s also yet another comic book adaptation done properly. I thought this movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time. In the compendium of comic movies, this falls just shy of the two X-Men movies and Spider-Man but easily surpasses Batman, Batman Begins, Superman and The Hulk. The fact that it is an R-rated movie will kill any possible chance of decent box-office numbers, but it was a necessary step to take, and the quality of the movie just makes up for it. Hopefully this was Thomas Jane’s breakout role, as he was outstanding and has the potential to be a contender to Ben Affleck, Hugh Jackman, Colin Farrell, and Matt Damon as the next big action star. If you like action movies, check out this movie. If you like comic book adaptations, check out this movie. Heck, if you just like movies in general, The Punisher is two hours well-spent. Like Thomas Jane himself says, ‘Frank Castle is dead. Long live The Punisher.’

    “The Recruit” Movie Review

    “The Recruit” Plot Summary

    A brilliant young CIA trainee is asked by his mentor to help find a mole in the Agency.

    Good film, good cast

    Colin Farrell, Al Pacino and Bridget Moynihan star in ‘The Recruit,’ a 2003 film directed by Roger Donaldson. Farrell plays a young man recruited by the CIA in the person of Pacino; while training at Langley, he gets close to another trainee (Moynihan). Once out of training, he’s told she’s an infiltrate from another country assigned to following her

    As is often said in the film, nothing is as it seems, and both Farrell and the audience are bamboozled more than once. The film has many twists and turns, all of which add up to a very absorbing movie. A weary-looking Pacino is excellent as always, and Farrell is effective

    This one keeps the surprises coming, so pay attention.

    “In Bruges” Movie Review

    “In Bruges” Plot Summary

    Holed up in Bruges, Belgium after a difficult job, two hit men begin to differ on their views of life and death as they become used to local customs.

    Horribly Enchanting

    Martin McDonagh is a new name for me but it reeks of sounds and smells I recognize and love. Joe Ortonish if you know what I mean. A mishmash of blame and redemption in Bruges of all places. Colin Farrell is superb as the child killer devoured by his own conscience. His dialogue is brutally funny but if we follow his eyes he’s stuck on the same place. The child, his death….Brendan Gleeson’s interest in Bruges and what Bruges has to offer is hysterically funny and deeply moving. A monumental performance. Ralph Finnes in a totally new vest (if you forget Schindler’s) comes to revolutionize the third act with a few aces up his sleeve. He is as much fun to watch as he is frightening. An unexpected treat. I highly recommend it.

    Enjoyable

    I’m not sure, why at all this movie has such negative reviews, i think it was much better than X-men 1, Hellboy, and Equally as good as Spider-man, the action scenes are awesome, Jennifer Garner is Off the Hook, she looks amazing the fiery Red head, i found Colin Farrel’s Character a bit poor, but Ben Affleck plays the part really well, this movie might also make the toughest of people Fill Up, with 1 particular scene, i was surprised it happened, and disliked Farrel for a moment, But it was very Enjoyable, and i’d advise this movie for everybody to watch

    Also the Soundtrack is awesome. Possibly 1 of the best soundtracks to date.8/10, one of the best Marvel Productions.

    “Phone Booth” Movie Review

    “Phone Booth” Plot Summary

    Stuart Shepard finds himself trapped in a phone booth, pinned down by an extortionist’s sniper rifle.

    One of my most favourite films

    At first I thought the film was going to be just a normal thriller but it turned out to be a thousand times better than I expected. The film is truly original and was so dark & sinister that gives the tensive mood also it is emotionally & psychologically thrilling, the whole movie is charged with pulse pounding suspense and seems like it’s really happening. It’s amazing that how they managed to make an 80 minute movie with just a guy in a phone booth but the full credit goes to Colin Farrell and Larry Cohen the writer not Joel Schumacher because he is a crappy director. Joel Schumacher’s films are rubbish especially The Number 23, Phone Booth was shot in 10 days with a budget of $10 million so it wasn’t a hard job to make it, that’s why Joel doesn’t get any credit but the cast & crew did a fantastic job. I also really liked the raspberry coloured shirt Colin was wearing and it was an excellent choice of clothing because the viewers are going to watch him throughout the whole film. When I first saw the movie I fell in love with it and I bought it on DVD the next day and I’ve seen it about 20 times and I’m still not fed up with it. Phone Booth is and always will be Colin Farrell’s best film! Overall it is simply one of my favourite films and I even argued over my friend because he didn’t like it.

    “Miami Vice” Plot Summary

    Based on the 1980’s TV action/drama, this update focuses on vice detectives Crockett and Tubbs as their respective personal and professional lives become dangerously intertwined.

    Impressive

    The film jumps straight into the action and keeps viewers interested throughout on a two and a half hour roller-coaster ride. Although sometimes a strenuous story-line (concentration is needed to follow the plot) Foxx and Farrell provide excellent acting in an impressive action – flick. Good acting support is provided in a film which doesn’t just concentrate on action but touches on so much else. An improvement upon the already great Collateral, and a worthy successor to the original Miami Vice T.V series. With a mix of romance, beautiful settings, gorgeous vehicles, excellent fire-fights and inspirational acting – this is the film of the year so far. Mann has outdone himself.

    “Alexander” Movie Review

    “Alexander” Plot Summary

    Alexander, the King of Macedonia and one of the greatest military leaders in the history of warfare, conquers much of the known world.

    A GOOD movie

    Though many have had very negative things to say about it, I felt that it was a good movie. Watching that Colin, I forgot that he was Colin and started to see Alexander. Just for that I felt that this movie is of some worth. I have to admit some of the lines sent chills down my spin, but the movie on the whole was good. Historically this movie could not have been far off. Pertaining to Alexander’s death, I liked how the cause was left ambiguis. Those that say that Stone butchered History in making this movie I find to be wrong. Though Alexander might not have been blond, why not by the way, much of what was portrayed went against common belief but true to what we have learned of the great conqueror. I guess summed up, this was a GOOD movie, I enjoyed myself, and was able to immerse myself in Stone’s interpretation of the life of a GREAT man.

    “Minority Report” Movie Review

    “Minority Report” Plot Summary

    In the future, criminals are caught before the crimes they commit, but one of the officers in the special unit is accused of one such crime and sets out to prove his innocence.

    Brilliant Sci-Fi/Thriller, that really leaves you thinking, with an outstanding story and an incredible performance from Tom Cruise!

    This is a brilliant Sci-Fi/Thriller, that really leaves you thinking, with an outstanding story and an incredible performance from Tom Cruise!. All the characters are wonderful and very likable, and it keeps you guessing throughout, plus Tom Cruise is simply incredible in this!. This is a movie that requires a lot of concentration, because it’s one of those films you have to pay strict attention too, and the plot is seriously awesome, plus one of my favorite moments in the film is when Cruise chases his own eyeballs!. This is up there with one of Spielberg’s best films and believe me he has done a lot of brilliant movies, and This is one of Cruise’s finest performances,plus it’s full of awesome twists and turns so don’t blink!. It’s extremely well made and written, and for once I agree with Roger Ebert’s review!, plus you will really root for Cruise’s character throughout. I loved those little mechanical spiders, and I thought that ending was just wicked! plus while i’m not a huge fan of Colin Farrell he did a fantastic job here and really impressed me!.Max Von Sydow was also excellent, and the special effects are simply stunning, plus the chase sequences are awesome as well!. I saw this a couple years ago and was unimpressed, however after upon 2nd viewing, I must say It deserves it’s praise, so if you didn’t care for it the 1st time, give it a second viewing, you may change your opinion

    This should honestly be in the top 250 in my opinion, and there are some fantastic creepy moment as well, plus I loved the depressing atmosphere it had at times, and This is almost like The Fugitive except it’s set in the future, plus It also has some very funny scenes in it as well. Cruise had excellent chemistry with Samantha Morton, and I especially loved the dialog, plus some scenes really had me on the edge of my seat!. This is a brilliant Sci-Fi/thriller that really leaves you thinking, with an outstanding story and an incredible performance from Tom Cruise, and if you haven’t seen it, Do so immediately, you shouldn’t regret it

    The Direction is spectacular!. Steven Spielberg does a spectacular job here with amazing camera work, fantastic angles, awesome use of blue,excellent lighting,great slow mo shots, and plenty of other uncanny shots as well, plus he kept the film at an extremely engrossing pace

    The Acting is incredible!. Tom Cruise is amazing as always and is incredible here, he gives one of his finest performances, is extremely likable , blew me away in his emotional scenes, had great chemistry with Samantha Morton,as always had lots of charisma, and has really matured as an actor, and if you don’t think he can act watch this movie! (Cruise Rules!!!!!!!). Max Von Sydow is excellent here in his role, he brought tons of class, was especially good at the end, and had some awesome scenes with Cruise!, I loved him. Colin Farrell is fantastic here, I am not a big fan, but he certainly was good here, he held his own against Cruise, and really gave a good show I liked him a lot. Samantha Morton is awesome as the creepy psychic chick, she gave a great show, and had very good chemistry with Cruise. Lois Smith is good in her scene as The Doc I liked her. Neal McDonough is good as Fletch I just wished they gave him more to do. Kathryn Morris is good as Cruise’s wife I really liked her. Rest of the cast do fine

    Overall Go see it immediately!. ***** out of 5

    “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” Movie Review

    “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” Plot Summary

    A traveling theater company gives its audience much more than they were expecting.

    Terry Gilliam finally back

    It is really a shame, that Heath Ledger has left this world. Seeing him in this movie and his performance in the Batman movie (The Dark Knight), you really wish you could see him in more movies. Which of course will not happen. We can even be glad that we have the chance to watch his performance on this movie

    Heath Ledger had shot most of his scenes already, before he passed away. Terry Gilliam got convinced by the crew and the cast of this film, that he should continue in Memory of Heath L. And so he came up with a few new ideas, how this movie should be. And if you have no idea about Heath Ledger passing away and that whole story, you might even think the movie was planned like that from the get go

    It’s a crazy world, that Terry shows us, which won’t answer many questions at the beginning and will leave with a few at the end. An end, that is really great and comes pretty close to the ‘Brazil’ brilliance. The whole movie seems like a comeback. Not that Terry G. was gone, but his Grimm Brothers movie did hurt his reputation

    After this excruciating experience (it took quite a few years from start to finish), Terry is planning to finally film one of his dream projects. Don Quixote! Johnny Depp will not play the lead (he was cast back when Terry tried and couldn’t finish, watch ‘Lost in La Mancha’, a great documentary about the ‘Un-making’ of that movie) and it’s not out yet, who will play the lead role. Heath Ledger would have been great …

    “Pride and Glory” Movie Review

    “Pride and Glory” Plot Summary

    A saga centered on a multi-generational family of New York City Police officers. The family’s moral codes are tested when Ray Tierney, investigates a case that reveals an incendiary police corruption scandal involving his own brother-in-law. For Ray, the truth is revelatory, a Pandora’s Box that threatens to upend not only the Tierney legacy but the entire NYPD.

    Acting movie

    This movie lives of it’s actors. The Casting is fabulous and everyone is playing as good as they can. Some might feel that the story is too weak and let’s the performances down. I’ll admit that the story isn’t the strongest and gets even confusing/convoluted at one point or another! I like crime movies and the title stands for things I do believe many people can connect with. As humans (be it cops, teachers, advisers or anything else) we do have to make choices, that affect not only us, but many other people too. Doing things, because everyone else does them too, isn’t really an excuse, but unfortunately a behavior like that, is more common and therefor close to reality and depicted pretty good in this movie. I liked the movie, despite a few flaws, story bumps and it’s predictability.
