“Proof of Life” Plot Summary
Alice hires a professional negotiator to obtain the release of her engineer husband, who has been kidnapped by anti-government guerrillas in South America. add synopsis
A good and very entertaining thriller with Russell Crowe
While building a dam in ‘Tecala’, a country situated in the Andes, the chief America engineer ‘Peter Bowman’ (David Morse), is captured by anti-government forces during a raid in the capital. When the rebels discover their identity require $3 million to return safe and sound. However, the company of ‘Peter’, based in Houston, is on the brink of bankruptcy and has canceled the insurance policy against kidnappings, so it cannot provide the money for their rescue. Abandoned by the company, ‘Alice’ (Meg Ryan), the wife of ‘Peter’, must cope with the situation by your account. She hires the services of the negotiator of hostages professional ‘Terry Thorne’ (Russell Crowe), a veteran of SAS, which in recent years has dealt with numerous kidnappings.’Proof of Life’ is a film little considered due to high expectations for its attractiveness argument and that is the first film of Russell Crowe after the great success throughout the world with ‘Gladiator.’ But its director Taylor Hackford has not sought a film committed and complaint, only has sought to expose through a current problem, a simple thriller and fairly, conventional with good scenes of action. Its objective is achieved by far, but it is not at all what has been expected of this film
In terms of its scenes of action, they are very successful and generous, with some contribution of tension well managed. The film is conventional within this genre of films. It has not nothing to do not have seen before, but it knows expose very well the action, although the fabric loving can be considered very secondary fulfills its mission,

“First Blood” Movie Review
“Rambo: First Blood” Plot Summary
A mentally unstable Vietnam war vet, when abused with a small town’s police force, begins a one man war with it.
This is a Great Great Film!
It is sad that the image of Sly Stallone has become what it has become. He is mocked and used as a punchline by more than a few comics. As a result, many of his films are seen in a less than favorable light. This is very unfortunate, because in ‘First Blood,’ Sly made one of the great all-time action films. However, it is more than an action film, and if the final scene does not make your skin tingle, well, you are not human. In many ways, First Blood captures, more than any other film, the difficulty many returning Vietnam Vets had when they returned to America. They had so many friends and so much responsibility in Vietnam. Back in America, they were isolated and slow to readjust into the peacetime way of life. As a result, many were sent wandering about, or worse, heading to jail. First Blood tells the story of one American hero who you should not push too far. In John Rambo, you have a hero from a war nobody wanted to remember. However, the town that persecuted him will remember him, for a long time.

“Hudson Hawk” Movie Review
“Hudson Hawk” Plot Summary
A cat burglar is forced to steal Da Vinci works of art for a world domination plot. add synopsis
A good Saturday afternoon movie
Some movies you like and you just can’t explain it. The guy next to you is shouting ‘Garbage!’ and you are in the aisles laughing your a** off.
OK so the acting is overdone. News flash. It is supposed to be! It’s all overdone! The Richard Grant and Sandra Bernhard do a superb evil duo impression. Danny Aiello and Bruce are constantly getting into and out of impossible situations and having fun and being funny while doing it. The bottom line here is that I don’t think Bruce Willis intended this to be a serious film. It was a joke from the beginning and it provided a host of great and memorable laughs. When Bruce is on the hospital gurney and catches a cigarette, has a puff and then grimaces ‘Ewww, Menthol’ and throws it away. I nearly split my side. To a non-smoker that probably isn’t funny. As a former smoker and hater of menthol cigarettes I thought it was classic! Bottom line, the humor is subtle for this film. It relies on you to suspend your reality and you’ll have a great time. Try to pick apart its plot holes and improbable situations and you won’t. Take it for what it is, one man’s sense of humor. Personally I think Bruce Willis has a great sense of humor. I get it. Do you?

“Twins” Movie Review
“Twins” Plot Summary
A physically perfect, but innocent, man goes in search of his twin brother, who is a short small-time crook. add synopsis
Great dialogue and a thoughtful, moving story
The beginning of Twins has a surreal tone to it it. This caring voice-over contrasts so much with the sinister look of the lab, and the music gives a much sadder feel to what is already present. I think the idea of putting two physically opposite actors together and deciding to make them twins works in this film, especially considering that the plot tells us they have genetically modified origins. Julius’ odd upbringing – isolated on an island – and its after-effects are obvious very early on. He asks for a manual when asked to drive a car somewhere. You get a sense that everything is so novel to Julius – even eating an ice cream (a shot which is beautifully lit). As you wouldn’t, he hasn’t the first clue about romance. Vincent, of course, is totally opposite, and you know this in just a few scenes. The brothers’ scenes are often juxtaposed to show this. I especially like Vincent’s expression in the ‘third rule in a crisis’ scene
The bionic hand when Julius’ briefcase is nearly stolen is inspired – he pulls up his would-be muggers on such things as wearing motorcycle helmets. The fire extinguisher scene is so wonderful in showing how shady Vincent is and how good Julius is – Julius doesn’t even hate Vincent when he rejects him. In fact, even their names seem to suit the characters. The relationship between the brothers is interesting. Vincent suddenly shows a united front with Julius, strangely enough when Julius deals with someone who is hounding his brother. Although they are twins, Julius acts like a much older brother as they learn more about their past
Some of the dialogue in Twins is brilliant. ‘Oh, I like nuked food!’ is such a great line from Julius, and Vincent’s ‘I liberated this from my file at the orphanage’ says so much about his personality in just a few words. There’s also a wonderful scene after the fight in the nightclub where the line-dancers carry on dancing around the unconscious henchmen.

“The 40 Year Old Virgin” Plot Summary
Goaded by his buddies, a nerdy guy who’s never “done the deed” only finds the pressure mounting when he meets a single mother.
The funniest comedy since ‘THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY’ ; Steve Carell is a comic genius – the year’s funniest film!
THE 40 YEAR-OLD VIRGIN (2005) **** Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Leslie Mann, Jane Lynch, Gerry Bednob, Shelley Malil, Kat Dennings. Hysterically funny high-concept comedy about the titular Andy Stitzer (wonderfully played by perennial second banana Carell in a truly extraordinarily comic breakthrough performance sure to stratosphere him to the A-list), a tech services rep for an electronics store in Southern California who is found out about his secretive identity by a trio of well-meaning yet entirely clueless womanizing co-worker buddies (Rudd, Malco & Rogen, each one degree funnier than the next) determined to get their friend deflowered no matter the cost. What follows is an unlikely yet very warm-hearted romance with a vivacious mother (the marvelous Keener having lots of fun here) leading to add more fuel to the fires within Andy. A surprisingly good-spirited and unapologetically raunchy romantic comedy; the funniest since ‘There’s Something About Mary’ with a shrewdly observant script by director Judd Apatow and Carell that features some astoundingly gut-busting sequences including a scathingly accurate David Caruso joke, homophobic debunking ribbing, send-ups of ‘date-a-paloozas’ and demystifying the war of the sexes with cheeky aplomb. A true winner and an instant classic; the funniest film of the year.
