“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” Movie Review
“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” Plot Summary
A toon hating detective is a cartoon rabbit’s only hope to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder.
A unique movie experience
‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ is a wonder in the art of making films. Because it mixes live-action and cartoons, it was a challenge to be made. But that’s exactly what makes it so distinguish and unique, especially considering that the idea works out so well. It’s a different and original movie experience, a real winner.
Yet, the film is more than a combination of live-action and cartoons. It has a dark atmosphere with lots of suspense, almost like a thriller. Classic humor isn’t forgotten either, with numerous funny lines and hysterical gags, as well as humorous characters. The joke about В«uncle ThumperВ» is one of the funniest, but there are many others. There’s also a hilarious piano acting with Donald Duck and Daffy Duck, which they play the same piano song as in Tom & Jerry’s short ‘The Cat Concerto’ and have their hilariously silly battle. In fact, the soundtrack of the movie is excellent, including Jessica Rabbit’s song ‘Why don’t you do right?’ and a suspense music very similar to one from the original ‘Back to the Future’.
Other movies that successfully mix live-action and cartoons are ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘Pete’s Dragon’ and ‘Bedknobs and Broomsticks’. Like ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’, those three movies combine this ‘marriage’ very well. On the other hand, other movies such as ‘Space Jam’ tried this idea but without the same success.
I believe that this movie was made in a unique moment of inspiration. The sceneries are great, the designs, the cartoons, the backgrounds, the details, the animation, the special effects, the artwork… everything was carefully made and I very much welcome that. This is one of the greatest live-action films from Disney.
Great actors make the difference too. Bob Hoskins is English but speaks with an excellent American accent, not to mention that he does the amazing thing of acting against the air. Joanna Cassidy, Charles Fleischer, Alan Tilvern, Stubby Kaye, Cristopher Lloyd and Kathleen Turner are awesome too. Kathleen Turner is the voice of Jessica Rabbit, with that sexy and sensual voice. And… guess what! Even the singer Frank Sinatra has a minor role in this film as the hilarious but useless Singing Sword. Even without looking at the credits, who wouldn’t recognize that great voice? Frank Sinatra’s voice is just as recognizable as Nat King Cole’s or Sterling Holloway’s.
As for the characters, the weasels are a perfect example of chronical stupidity. They’re humorous because they’re always laughing, even though they know what happens to someone who can’t stop laughing.
Marvin Acme is В«the king of the jokesВ», always humorous and cheerful and at his funniest with his mythical hand-buzzer. Angelo is an idiot, drunk and greedy guy, but funny at the same time. Dolores is a great character. R. K. Maroon is an interesting character with half a dark side and half a good side. Judge Doom is a great villain, humorous, mysterious and somewhat sinister. Roger Rabbit is hilarious and very jolly – that’s his only purpose as a cartoon, like he says himself. Jessica Rabbit is a very sexy cartoon, one of the most beautiful and sexiest ever – she’s not bad, she’s just drawn that way. Benny the Cab is funny. Baby Herman is a bit annoying – he might look innocent at first, but he is extremely rude and he loves to woo women. Eddie Valiant is another great character – grumpy, serious and funny sometimes. And he looks very much like my godfather in appearance.
The movie takes place in Hollywood, 1947. It does recreate the 40’s very well. That influence is notorious in many ways, including the cars used.
Before finishing, let me say that I like rabbits very much. They’re adorable and very cute animals, although in the cartoons they aren’t as cute – but they’re usually funny in cartoons.
This should definitely be on Top 250.

“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.

“Rescue Dawn” Movie Review
“Rescue Dawn” Plot Summary
A US Fighter pilot’s epic struggle of survival after being shot down on a mission over Laos during the Vietnam War.
Best movie of the year
It really was the best movie I’ve seen all year- narrowly beating The Departed (VERY narrow indeed).
I saw this at the second showing, so I wasn’t there for Bale or Davies or Herzog, but the movie was obviously worth it. I am very eagerly anticipating its theatrical release. Oscar buzz is good for this so far, but I’m afraid with the release date set for early 2007 that might not happen
Herzog expertly adapted his documentary into a full-fledged narrative that is both thrilling and heartbreaking (Steve Zahn… How awesome). This is worth every penny you pay for the ticket
See it ASAP.

“Tomb Raider” Plot Summary
Video game adventurer Lara Croft comes to life in a movie where she races against time and villains to recover powerful ancient artifacts. add synopsis
Jolie Stars In Special Effects Adventure
Director Simon West hits upon an action formula utilizing the female as heroine. Lara Croft stars Angelia Jolie, in a tailor-made role, as Lara Croft. Jolie is chic, sleek, and unique as the aristocrat turned adventurer. You must be an aristocrat to be an adventurer by definition; otherwise, how would you finance all those exotic escapades and cool clothes? Jolie performs all of her own stunts in this special effects-laden adventure that is long on action and exotic locales and short on character development and substance. It contains most elements of a fun, action movie: it’s fast paced. full of action, special effects, and form-fitting outfits. The plot concerns the recovery of some time altering artifact from an ancient tomb of sorts. Like most Bond films, the plot doesn’t matter much, as our eyes are fixed on Jolie and everything she says and does. Remember, the character is based upon a video game, so she’ll be able to do all sorts of things that real heroes wouldn’t be able to do. Jon Voight adds a cameo appearance as Jolie’s father, as he is in real life. *** of 4 stars.

“Hulk” Movie Review
“Hulk” Plot Summary
Bruce Banner, a genetics researcher with a tragic past, suffers an accident that causes him to transform into a raging green monster when he gets angry.
A great movie
This is, to date, my favorite superhero movie. I can but wonder why so many people think it is so bad
First, since it’s a superhero movie, there’s the action scenes. There’s not too many of them, and what there is, is quite good
I recall there being some criticism about the Hulk’s 3D model and how it is not detailed enough. While I kinda agree that it could be better, I do not think it is too distracting
Now, on to the story and characters. And here is the strongest part of the movie. The interaction of Hulk and Betty Ross is something that touches me on a personal level. And in general the characters are mainly well developed and have interesting enough interaction. The story progresses at a nice pace, not being too fast or too slow. It’s definitely a ’smarter’ and even more emotional than, say, the Spider-Man movies
I can’t think of too much else to say, since to me so much of what is good about this movie I can’t really find the words for, and in the end it’s the overall feeling that counts. I’ll end this by saying that while the new ‘The Incredible Hulk’ was a decent movie on its own right, in my books it doesn’t hold a candle to this movie.

“American Psycho” Movie Review
“American Psycho” Plot Summary
A wealthy New York investment banking executive hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies.
One of the greatest visions ever brought to us
Spoilers includedThis is not a slasher movie, indeed. It’s a very deep, strange and delicate moment in satire. While it’s serious, it’s ironic and ridiculous. Great stuff! Funniest and the most (yes I dare say it) brilliant satire I’ve ever seen. Christian Bale’s performance is unbelievable and if someone disagrees, they have to show me how to perform an emotional breakdown for 2 minutes on a phone. Just unbelievable. I’ve seen this 5 times now and it never gets boring. All the characters in Bateman’s world live in materialism, self-obsession, wealth and empty lives which is saved for last as the horrifying truth for Patrick. None cares for anyone. Many may think that when Bateman runs around with a chainsaw in the hallway, somebody would call the cops. But that’s theme of this film: None cares except if it has something do with themselves. Brilliant, simply brilliant. When Bateman sees this, he gives up hope, implying that he is not going to stop his frenzy until someone stops him (which happens in that embarrassing sequel which I’m never going to watch). Mary Harron’s masterpiece, Bale’s best performance (without an Oscar nod of course), at the same time one of the shortest, deepest, confusing, puzzling and mysterious satire films ever. One of the best. It’s a must see. My personal favourite. DON’T miss it if you can take some violence mixed in with irony and very black and bold humor
Solid 9/10

“Cinderella Man” Plot Summary
The story of James Braddock, a supposedly washed up boxer who came back to become a champion and an inspiration in the 1930s.
Great Movie, a must see!
I just saw the movie tonight at a special advanced screening here in Newport Beach, and it is so good. I cannot tell you one single performance in the film that wasn’t terrific. I can only think of a couple negatives. One being the man coughing behind me the WHOLE time. In terms of the movie, the section where the Braddocks suffer in the Depression went on pretty long, and the Braddock’s kids were WAY too cute. A little shamelessly so. As in, no three kids are that well-behaved,loving and adorable ALL THE TIME. Great points: There were a lot more funny moments than i had expected, but none were cheap laughs, all were just honest and nice little moments. The acting and directing are just incredible. Renee Zellweger, Russel Crowe, Paul Giamatti (who practically steals the show), even Craig Bierko as the boxing nemesis were so great! Oscars FOR EVERYONE! It’s too bad this isn’t Oscar season– i really hope this doesn’t get forgotten by the time nominations come out.

“Scary Movie 4″ Plot Summary
Cindy finds out the house she lives in is haunted by a little boy and goes on a quest to find out who killed him and why. Also, Alien “Tr-iPods” are invading the world and she has to uncover the secret in order to stop them.
Funnier than Scary Movie 2
Scary Movie 4, the direct sequel to Scary Movie 3 (both movies are by director David Zucker and this time around with his longtime film-making friend Jim Abrahams of Naked Gun fame who helped pen this script). This time they spoof such films as The Village, Saw, War of the Worlds, The Grudge, Brokeback Mountain and also Tom Cruise’s Oprah incident. It’s really amazing how the filmmakers are able to bring together all these different films into a somewhat coherent screenplay, which borders on funny to average (though there are a few hilarious moments – such as when Cindy is ‘cleaning’ Mrs. Norris). Returning are Scary Movie alums Anna Faris as the ever funny Cindy Campbell and Regina Hall as the hilarious Brenda Meeks. Also returning from Scary Movie 3 are Leslie Neilsen as President Harris (he’s still great at 80 years of age!), Simon Rex as George, and Charlie Sheen as Tom Logan). Also returning from Scary Movie 1 though in a different role is Carmen Elektra! Though the Scary Movie formula is starting to run thin, it’s still great to see this type of slapstick comedy out there.
