“Mr. Brooks” Movie Review
“Mr. Brooks” Plot Summary
A psychological thriller about a man who is sometimes controlled by his murder-and-mayhem-loving alter ego.
Pleasantly Surprised
I didn’t expect much considering all the bad reviews (not that those matter) but actually found this to be quite entertaining for the most part. It really plays with your mind, an original psychological thriller compared to most others out there today. Kevin Costner, in an interesting new turn for him, plays Mr. Brooks, a self-made multi-millionaire with a beautiful house and a loving wife and daughter. His business colleagues have nothing but respect for him. But he has a dark secret… he’s addicted to killing people and has been for years. He fights his addiction by attending AA meetings at church and just calling himself ‘an addict.’ William Hurt plays ‘Marshall,’ his twisted inner-voice who eggs him on. I found Costner and especially Hurt to be quite a hoot in a very darkly comic sort of way, they actually make quite a duo. The ending could have been worked with better, but overall this was well-done and a must-see for any fans of Costner or Hurt, or any fans of thrillers that actually show a good sense of humor.

“Fahrenheit 9/11″ Movie Review
“Fahrenheit 911″ Plot Summary
Michael Moore’s view on what happened to the United States after September 11; and how the Bush Administration allegedly used the tragic event to push forward its agenda for unjust wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. add synopsis
Not Eggs-actly Accurate
Michael Moore has done it again assembled a disembodied collection of sound bites, disjointed and almost always out-of-context film footage, Corporation bashing, cynical one-liners, tearful testimony of doubtlessly hurt family members threaded into the narrative, vague coincidence, rambling discourses by carefully chosen downtrodden `common folk’ and any clip in which an important figure is seen as a pompous no-nothing. In `Fahrenheit 911′ we have the added treat of listening to the testimony of a handful of reluctant non-com warriors and the stern admonition that our soldiers are willing to go in harm’s way, but only if we REALLY need them to do so
In a bit of a surprise move the film opens with a shotgun of facts aimed at building the case that President Bush is President only because a small group of vaguely interconnected power brokers (not) somehow colluded to make him so a wild stretch right out of the box. Mr. Moore could surely turn this segment into a documentary in its own right. Unfortunately this is a sour grapes kick off for a documentary, and we in the audience sensed this. Also early on we see protests (after we’ve been made to feel bad about voting George Bush into office in the first place) along the parade route on Inauguration Day and much is made of the point that in a time of celebration the nation is already sundered. Mention is made that even eggs were thrown. We are stunned (well, maybe not stunned) as a solitary egg is discerned striking a car. Generally Presidential-grade vehicles are up to such punishment. As metaphor, this film could not be more appropriately compared to anything but this lamely impactful footage documenting an egg plopping onto the pavement after striking the auto
There are a plethora of quotes floating on the Internet which indicate threats of terrorism against the U.S. were perceived many years ago. bin Laden’s propensity to initiating violent anti-American activities was known and even prominent figures in government long before G.W. Bush became President testified as to the likelihood of weapons of mass destruction being likely found in Iraq. But we are a nation famed for second-guessing nearly any headline; I am sure there is a JFK re-visit being written at this very moment. The visit to Flint, Michigan to work the angle of the poor being the sole source of our military personnel was noticeably patched in, almost as an aside. If one is building a case that rich power brokers arrange wars, why even worry about the source of troops? That never seems to come up in academic studies of how and why a war begins. It is very refreshing to see large crowds in attendance at the local plex to view a film the subject of which is normally strictly art-house fare. In this sense the movie is exciting; certainly any documentary that gets Americans talking about politics is a good thing. It will be interesting to see counter-reactions (not News-At-Eleven clips of Hollywood actors smugly winking at us) to the fanfare accorded this movie’s release
So you need go only as far as this medium to find as many counter-arguments to any that Moore presents. Ho-hum. Until `Fahrenheit 911′ came along `Super Size Me’ was a shoe-in as the Best Documentary of the year. Now it may be a horse race to see which wins the Oscar, but the Academy members have surely punched their vote cards already, if not only figuratively
Rating: Three Stars

“Indecent Proposal” Movie Review
“Indecent Proposal” Plot Summary
A married woman agrees to have sex with another man for $1,000,000. add synopsis
Explores what love really means
Warning, may be some spoilersIndecent Proposal is a film that knows exactly how someone feels when it comes to jealousy. There is a great line in the film after Demi Moore comes back from her encounter with gazillionaire Robert Redford. Her husband, played perfectly by Woody Harlesson, is asking her questions that don’t need to be answered. Because if they are, it will put a damper in their marriage. But he persists and finally Demi shouts out to him, ‘ If I tell you he wasn’t any good then I’m a liar. If I tell you that he was then I’m a whore. ‘ What a brilliantly written line and it is one that lends a perfect ear to what the film is about in most senses. Jealousy is a powerful emotion but being broke and in love is just as powerful on the other end of the scale. What is so great about this film is that is makes us all question what we would do in that exact same situation. Would you let your wife sleep with a man for one million dollars? Could you look at it and say that it was only one night and you can deal with it? Would you say that your marriage is strong enough to overcome something so meaningless? And that is the key issue right there. Is it really that meaningless? If you are married and in love ( if you are together in a monogamous relationship), is there ever a time when sex is meaningless enough to overlook, even if all of your financial problems are solved in the aftermath?Indecent Proposal is a great film in almost every sense. The actors are great, especially Oliver Platt who has a cameo as their lawyer and he gets all the laughs. The direction is great as it never gets anywhere close to pornographic, and it lets the audience decide for themselves what happened on that fateful night. When you look at the whole concept of the film, you know it could get cheesy if handled poorly and irresponcibly. But it never does. It stays on course and delivers the goods. I highly recommend this film and I think it is good to watch it with someone that you love. It will invoke some very interesting conversations after words. But don’t watch it with them if you are afraid of the answers that you might get. That, to me is good film making. Something that leaves you discussing it long after it is over. Indecent Proposal does that.

“I’m Not There” Movie Review
“I’m Not There” Plot Summary
Ruminations on the life of Bob Dylan, where six characters embody a different aspect of the musician’s life and work.
Beautiful, Unique & Full of Life
Todd Haynes (‘Velvet Goldmine’, ‘Far from Heaven’) created a non-linear, truly original film, that must be seen by every Bob Dylan lover. Haynes’s tapestry is ‘inspired by the music and lives of Bob Dylan’ – he introduces us to 6 different Dylans: Jack Rollins (Christian Bale), Woody Guthrie (Marcus Carl Franklin), Jude Quinn (Cate Blanchett), Robbie Clark (Heath Ledger), Billy the Kid (Richard Gere) and Arthur Rimbaud (Ben Whishaw), interweaving their stories in a groundbreaking narrative slightly similar to Todd Solondz’s unsettling, caustic ‘Palindromes’ (2004), in which several very different actresses (and a boy) play a 13 year-old pregnant girl. While ‘Across the Universe’ illustrated The Beatles’ fantastic songs with simple, adorable characters in a psychedelic rhythm, but with little character development (not that I’m complaining: I absolutely love to see visual masters like Baz Luhrmann or Julie Taymor on fire, since their self-indulgence creates wonderful sensorial pieces), ‘I’m Not There’ is much more complex: it’s deeper than conventional biopics (‘Ray’, ‘Walk the Line’), and much smarter than exploitative flicks (the atrocious ‘Factory Girl’). Haynes crafted a unique film that’s a feast for the eyes (thanks to cinematographer Ed Lachman, ‘The Virgin Suicides’, who also co-directed the disgusting ‘Ken Park’ with Larry Clark), ears (Dylan’s music is always a pie in the sky) and mind (it’ll make you admire the man even more, and it doesn’t even need to be an ass-kissing biopic to succeed on that). The cast is heterogeneous and solid, but I think critics are overrating Cate Blanchett for the sheer fact that she’s playing a man (which makes things more challenging for her, indeed), when she’s not really better than most of the cast; a good performance for sure, but I was much more impressed by Christian Bale and the young revelation Marcus Carl Franklin. Julianne Moore, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Michelle Williams play some important women from Dylan’s life, and the always underrated Bruce Greenwood has a small but interesting part. All in all, this isn’t a film that will enjoy big commercial success, and it’s probably too artsy (although, not in a bad way) to get the Academy’s top prize (even though Blanchett’s performance and, maybe, Haynes’s magnificent directing/writing, will probably be remembered), but it’s a real gem for those who want to see something really exciting and original. As for myself, I’m thankful to Haynes and his audacious, faithful producer Christine Vachon (this woman rocks, and in a perfect world, she’d have all the money that a certain Jerry Bruckheimer possesses), who always dare to blow us away – something rare, these days. Fascinating. 10/10.

“A Few Good Men” Movie Review
“A Few Good Men” Plot Summary
Neo military lawyer Kaffee defends Marines accused of murder; they contend they were acting under orders. add synopsis
Really deep, insightful movie
I started watching this movie with no great expectations. I was bored, to say the least, and it just happened to be showing on the channel I was watching. When I saw the opening credits and names like Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson and Kiefer Sutherland showed up, my interest was piqued and I started watching this film in the hopes that these great actors would deliver. And they definitely did. This was a courtroom drama, but it was also about the marine corps. It was an enthralling movie, and really got you engrossed and wondering, ‘Are they telling the truth?, Are they going to go to jail?’ etc etc. The high points of the movie for me were the private accused of murder (I can’t remember his name now) and the way he was devoted to his superior, Hal. I also enjoyed the sexual tension between Tom Cruise and Demi Moore, and would have enjoyed to see it developed a bit more in this movie. However, the ULTIMATE thought-provoker/tear-jerking scene was one of the last, when the accused are pronounced NOT GUILTY on counts of murder but GUILTY on counts of behaviour unfit for a Marine (or something like that). Then the private says, ‘Hal, (Jack Nicholson) said he ordered a code red, we didn’t do anything wrong!’ and Harold says ‘We were supposed to be fighting for those who can’t fight for themselves. We should’ve fought for Willy.’ ANd he walks out of the courtroom with his head high. This simply goes to show that principle, rules can only take you so far, but conscience, right and wrong, are what we ultimately have to deal with. Wonderful movie, I will not soon forget it.

“Ghost” Movie Review
“Ghost” Plot Summary
After being killed during a botched mugging, a man’s love for his partner enables him to remain on earth as a ghost. add synopsis
Love is a powerful emotion
If you have ever lost a loved one and want to believe that they are still somewhere you will be touch by the wonderful and not over sentimental ‘Ghost’.Some people may not find ‘Ghost’ to have any sense but if you are romantic and open-minded it will hit you like the fast moving train.’Ghost’ is an epic love story of Molly (Demi Moore) and Sam (gorgeous Patrick Swayze) who have so strong relationship but it is taken from them so early. After a tragic mugging episode the banker Sam loose his life and leaves Molly to face the cruel reality on her own. Sam is persistent to let Molly know that he is still there watching and protecting her. By the act of coincidence Sam finds a way to communicate his loved one with the help of fraud sidekick Oda Mae Brown (hilarious Whoopi Goldberg whose Academy Award-winning performance was very well earned!). There is some twist and turns, some difficulties but nothing can stop the true love finding it ways. Even if it does mean beyond the grave.’Ghost’ was the unexpected hit movie of the year 1990. It won two Oscars. Dazzling Goldberg got a Golden Man for Best Supporting Actress and Bruce Joel Rubin got his prize for his writing skills. It launched the era of new special effect techniques, and boosted the careers of Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze
First time I saw the movie it didn’t affect me as much as it did when I saw it for the second time. I wept like a little waterfall and felt strongly that there must be a life after death
Vincent Schiavelli was dark but sympathetic Subway Ghost who guided Sam on his path to become a real ghost
The film produced some of the funniest scenes in movie history. While Sam is trying to get Oda Mae to help him he tortures her by singing in a monotonous, deep-voiced way ‘I’m Henry the Eight I am’! That’s so great. Also the word ‘ditto’ became famous. I bet the ‘Ghost-generation’ has repeatedly said it to their loved ones
If you manage get your mind open and let ‘Ghost’ into your heart it effects might just surprise you! 9,5/10

One of the most entertaining, funnest, and enjoyable films in years!
This is not a film to be taken seriously. I love it! It is just such an entertaining film. The action is enjoyable and well done, although it is unrealistic, but that is why I loved it. The acting is good, the writing is of course so intentionally cheesy and corny, but I loved the plot! The women are HOT HOT HOT, and that is something that matters. I do not get why this film gets too much hate. Honestly, it is just done as a popcorn action film, and it works!!! It really is mindless, and that is why it is easier to enjoy than maybe other action films like Spider-Man (although another similar action-packed film Wanted is just better in every way and not mindless actually). Still, this film works for me, and I think it is better than the original.

The Best Film I’ve Ever Seen
Not too long ago, my sister watched Aladdin a lot. I thought the music was pretty good, and I wanted to check out more music by Alan Menken. I found Hunchback. I vaguely recalled scenes I had seen when I saw it at the theater (I was 5 or 6 then), so I wanted to remember what exactly happened in it. I listened to some of the music from it, and I was hooked. ‘Bells of Notre Dame’ and ‘Topsy Turvy’ continually play in my head (and I continually play them on the piano).
I honestly think this movie is the best film I have ever seen. The music is fantastic, the animation is great, and the story is touching and heartwarming. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good film.

Better than expected…
I was surprised by this movie. Going in, I was sure this would be a movie designed solely to push the issues of women’s rights and equality of the sexes. Instead, the movie squarely, but fairly, demonstrated the undeniable differences between men and women. Demi Moore was outstanding in this film – in my opinion it was her best role yet. The movie was provocative and exciting. Definitely not a disappointment at all, but a movie the squeamish may want to avoid. There are some mildly graphic scenes. There are also some unforgettable lines!
