“I Am Legend” Movie Review
“I Am Legend” Plot Summary
Years after a plague kills most of humanity and transforms the rest into monsters, the sole survivor in New York City struggles valiantly to find a cure.
Two films in one; one is an interesting and intelligent thriller, the second is CGI-filled dreck
I enjoyed this movie for the most part. Well, the first half at least. The first half was a neat little apocalyptic thriller. The shots of a deserted New York were effective and purveyed a sense of isolation for the main character. Will Smith was excellent as Robert Neville, one of the only people alive thanks to a virus which has wiped out the world and turned everyone into vicious, animal-like creatures who are out for blood. Smith’s character is obviously losing his mind and having trouble coping with total isolation (well, apart from his dog friend). There are some tense scenes littered throughout which help keep you one the edge
Then we enter the second half, a crappy horror cartoon with no scares and some incredibly lame CGI monsters and a cliched ending. When the monsters finally come out I sunk in my seat, not only were they pure CGI, they were pure, BAD CGI. It was almost as if they ripped them straight from a cartoon or video game and dropped into the movie. It was embarrassing and it killed what could have been an excellent movie. Not only that, the second half felt incredibly rushed, some extended scenes would have been nice and would have helped keep up the tension. And when the end comes it is a ‘depressingly happy’ ending that feels a bit too cliched and comes as a disappointment
The first half is a four star psychological thriller with a fine performance from Smith and some well shot scenes. The second half is a two star horror cartoon with appalling SFX. That averages the rating to a: 3/5

“The Day After Tomorrow” Movie Review
“The Day After Tomorrow” Plot Summary
A climatologist tries to figure out a way to save the world from abrupt global warming. He must get to his young son in New York, which is being taken over by a new ice age.
Very Good Film!
This film is one of the better films of this decade. The best part of the film is the effects. They were utterly amazing. Dennis Quaid and Jake G. are father and son who gets caught in the worst storm the earth has seen since the last ice age. They battle their strengths and weaknesses to survive this storm. As I mentioned above, the effects were outstanding. I liked the tornadoes in LA part the best. The acting is superb especially with Quaid. Not to sound so political, the theme is a real-life issue. Global warming is a big problem with the earth’s environment. I am surprised about all the negative reviews about this film. I guess critics dislike just about everything these days. I recommend this film to everyone. I rate this film a 10/10.

“The Perfect Storm” Movie Review
“The Perfect Storm” Plot Summary
An unusually intense storm pattern catches some commercial fishermen unaware and puts them in mortal danger.
Greatest Film i saw that summer
I remember reading this book a year ago, it was superb. It will remain in my library as long as i have one. I saw the movie a short while afterwards (i picked up the book when the shooting for the film was just ending). I purposely refused to read the critic’s reviews until i had seen it. Honestly, it was one of the most magnificent films i had seen in a theater. It had plenty of action and suspense, but held a sturdy plot, unlike most Willis or Stallone films currently. It’s previous existence in book form helped it I’m sure. Clooney adopts a rugged look and sound that would make you think he’d never appear on a Teen magazine. Mark Wahlberg is also an extraordinary actor in this film, it’s good to see him go so far in just these past few years. The volume jumps around a little (a personal pet-peeve of mine), but the sound effects and computer graphics on the waves are magnificent. The only thing that bothered me was the constant jokes and ego-boosting coming from the group of teenagers near me. I’m sure this will be fixed with any video or DVD version though :) Afterwards, i did read the reviews, many were sub-par. Often, the professional critics commented on the physics of the waves and visibility in weather conditions… Please don’t forget that this is a movie. For the sake of entertainment, sacrifice the details (you’ll only notice them if you’re a fisherman anyway).

“Punisher: War Zone” Movie Review
“Punisher 2″ Plot Summary
After hunting down and killing hundreds of violent criminals, Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, faces his most deadly foe yet: Jigsaw.
A Punisher movie as it should be
While cleaning the city from corrupts, the Punisher commits a mistake which creates the Jigsaw and leaves a policeman dead. The character development and story is just great. Some people may complain that there is too much blood and violence but this is Punisher and this is the way it is. I think fan boys will like this movie but this is definitely not for people searching chick flick action. This is a movie without a single drop of romance. It is just action, killing and blood. I liked it much since it is not trying to give messages or trying to put silly jokes to cover up a stupid plot. It is a very serious movie, focused and giving to the audience what it promises. Yes, he is killing tens of men just himself but just remember, this The Punisher and this is a Punisher movie as it should be.

“The Thin Red Line” Plot Summary
Director Terrence Malick’s adaptation of James Jones’ autobiographical 1962 novel, focusing on the conflict at Guadalcanal during the second World War. add synopsis
Most beautiful film in cinema history
Hardly has any movie ever touched me like this one. And every time I watch it on DVD or TV, it gets better and better. I didn’t enjoy it very much the first time I saw it in cinema in 1998 but I did enjoy it more and more with each time I saw it again
The most beautiful scene is Private Witt walking past his fellow soldiers in the camp towards the end and a tear drop runs down his cheek. What is this supposed to mean ? Sadness because he knows he is going to die soon or happiness because he feels like they are his only true family left after he lost his most important family member – his mother ? This is the best movie ever made. Each frame is a piece of art. Each word, each sentence is a revelation. This piece of film will forever be remembered and revered by future filmmakers to come.
