“Deja Vu” Movie Review
“Deja Vu” Plot Summary
An ATF agent travels back in time to save a woman from being murdered, falling in love with her during the process.
Washington and Brokheimer, a winning combination
Deja Vu is a high-action, crime-drama, sci-fi, thriller which is exactly what you would expect from Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of such action-adventures as ‘Con Air,’ ‘Enemy of the State,’ ‘National Treasure,’ ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ and another Denzel Washington favorite, ‘Remember the Titans.’ The story opens with an explosion on board a New Orleans Ferry, and takes the audience back through an unfolding of events that leads up to the tragic scene. Even the most modern technology hasn’t gone as far as the storyline takes us. The premise is thrilling and the implications stimulate the imagination. For example; ‘how would altering the past impact people and events of the present?’ The acting is superb, with Denzel Washington and Paula Patton as romantic leads. James Caviezel does an extraordinary job as the villain, which is a departure from his role as Jesus in ‘The Passion of the Christ.’ There is plenty of action and some of it violent. Be prepared to see a few corpses like those on television’s ‘CSI’ or ‘Crossing Jordon.’ There are gun fights, but with a minimum of blood. While the movie is certainly intense, much of the severe action is implicit and takes place off camera. For an action packed, PG-13 movie, I was particularly impressed with the limited amount of rough language. I imagine with Denzel and James in the cast, there was an effort to keep it ‘clean.’ This is one of the few remaining Touchstone Pictures releases. Parent company, Walt Disney Studios is committed to producing action movies that appeal to a wider family audience. We’re awarding ‘Deja Vu’ the Dove Family-Approved Seal at for audience members over age 12.(www.dove.org) Parents should look over the violent content issues before deciding whether to bring tweens along.

“The Pelican Brief” Plot Summary
A law student uncovers a conspiracy, putting herself and others in danger. add synopsis
Most enjoyable thriller
Another complex legal thriller from author John Grisham (‘The Firm’) is brought professionally to the screen by director Alan J. Pakula (‘Presumed Innocent’).As in the Sydney Pollack film ‘The Firm’, ‘The Pelican Brief’ requires concentration and attention to detail as it relates the story of New Orleans law student Darby Shaw (Julia Roberts), whose theoretic paper, which outlines what she believes to be the reasons behind the brutal assassinations of two Supreme Court judges, lands her in hot water when it passes into the wrong hands. Her brief, it would seem, is much too close to the truth for comfort. So begins a frenetic chase as Darby runs for her life whilst she searches for someone in whom to place her trust. She finds that confidant in Washington Herald reporter Gray Grantham (Denzel Washington), whose determined yet ethical pursuit of the truth is both admirable and effective
Grisham’s involved novel (which probably loses much specific detail in crossing to the big screen) gives the movie a plot that is fascinating enough to carry proceedings alone, however Pakula’s effective direction and his choice of two popular stars does no harm to the cause. Both Roberts and Washington are in good form and give strong performances, as do the impressive supporting cast
A most enjoyable, and occasionally tense, thriller whose beginning and finale are both far outdone by the fast middle

“Remember the Titans” Movie Review
“Remember the Titans” Plot Summary
The true story of a newly appointed African-American coach and his high school team on their first season as a racially integrated unit.
Best Movie I’ve Ever Seen !
Remember the Titans was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It really showed the passions of all of the people in the movie. It showed that a single high school football team can change the minds of a town and what they think about each other. It taught us a good lesson on racism. Most people just think of movies as entertainment but Remember the Titans was so much more than that and people could really learn a lesson by watching this movie. I suggest that every person watch this at least once in their life because it changed the way I look at everybody. Each character in the movie really had an important part and I can’t believe that this really happened in real life. It is a painful thing to think about how messed up our world is and how it is so full of hatred.

“Harsh Times” Movie Review
“Harsh Times” Plot Summary
A tough-minded drama about two friends in South Central Los Angeles and the violence that comes between them.
Excellent movie
Bale’s performance in Harsh time is phenomenal this besides the machinist and American psycho have to be some of my favourite performances by him
The Chemistry between Freddie and Bale is great it seems like they’ve been ‘homies’ for years very tight friendship so you know how tight they are immediately and it makes you care for them
Bale’s character is a former soldier and he has major issues just imagine a soldier coming back for Vietnam with flash backs and such …pretty much they are never the same mentally again…that is bales character right there it’s much more deeper maybe someone will explain it better then me Freddie’s character is the guy who is a ride or die friend he’ll stick with you to end but he’s also a follower and get’s influenced very easily by bale’s character in the movie…I view it as Bale is like an older brother to him Eva Longoria is freddie’s girlfriend and she loves him to death because pirior Freddie stuck by here and help her out during university or college i can’t remember..All she wants now is for Freddie to get a Job but Bale’s influence always divides freddies focus on handing out his applications..She doesn’t like Bale’s character basically thinks he’s going to get freddie killed just imagine being with your friend throwing around a lot of cuss words but when your talking to someone at a business place you talk proper and not urban slang.. I’d say it’s a violent movie i mean there is some brutal scenes that will feed your violence fix….all in all this movie is pretty damn realistic

“American Gangster” Movie Review
“American Gangster” Plot Summary
In 1970s America, a detective works to bring down the drug empire of Frank Lucas, a heroin kingpin from Manhattan, who is smuggling the drug into the country from the Far East.
Great Gangster Film!
American Gangster is one of the few gangster movies I have seen. I think it might be one of the best if not the best. Another thing that makes this movie great is that there is historical accuracy, not a 100 percent but still accurate enough. This film is about a detective named Ritchie trying to capture the drug warlord Frank Lucas who is involved in many operations. He did this to support his family. An outcome involving the capture of Lucas really amazes me. Nearly three quarters of New York cops were arrested and convicted of bribery charges. Ridley Scottt did a great job directing this film. He can do any genre without making a fool out of himself. The acting is pretty good. I think Denzel Washington is a great actor. Russell Crowe actually did something right for once. The technical parts of the movie is pretty good. The movie is somewhat boring but I was kept awake because I was intrigued about the plot. I rate this movie 9/10.

“Man on Fire” Movie Review
“Man on Fire” Plot Summary
In Mexico City, a former assassin swears vengeance on those who committed an unspeakable act against the family he was hired to protect.
Amazing, absolutely AMAZING
This movie blew me away; however not the first time I saw it, I had to watch it twice to truly appreciate the message and the power of this film. Maybe I wasn’t fully paying attention or maybe I was too young at the time but I am so glad that I watched it again
If ever there was perfect casting for a motion picture then this would be it! Denzel Washington is unbelievably believable, (then again when is he not believable) and even though Christopher Walken’s part is small in this you don’t forget him as he helps to develop the story and make Washington’s character even more electrifying. Also the supporting cast is more than solid with Marc Anthony and Radha Mitchell putting in very strong performances, with Mickey Rourke also worth a mention. However, this is all eclipsed by the youngest member of the cast, Dakota Fanning, who is indescribable as Pita. The chemistry between Washington ans Fanning shines off the screen and you laugh when they laugh, and cry when they cry
The direction is expertly done, but with such films as ‘Enemy of the State’ and ‘Crimson Tide’ perfection is what should be expected from a director like Tony Scott. There are scenes around 2-5 mins long with no dialogue and just Denzel Washington on screen that are captivating; a testament to the skills of Scott and Washington, which come together with brilliant results
It might not be everyone’s cup of tea with vivid violence and quite long at 146 mins, but in my opinion it has to have these things to make it the masterpiece that it is. If you like a film that really paints the picture before ripping it up in your face with twists and turns that will leave you with your jaw on the floor then this is the film for you. This film has so much to it that if I said anymore I would probably end up spoiling parts of it for you
This is one of the few films that has brought a tear to my eye and that was because you care so much for the characters. I think this film has been highly underrated but hopefully it will get recognised for its heart and for the excellence that oozes from the screen on every level.

“Siege” Movie Review
“Siege” Plot Summary
The secret US abduction of a suspected terrorist leads to a wave of terrorist attacks in New York that lead to the declaration of martial law. add synopsis
A Remarkable Film
This is a remarkable movie from the director of Glory (also starring Denzel Washington). Not so much because it was a believable movie at the time it was made, but because of the eerieness of many of the scenes. If you pay attention, there is even a shot of the Twin Towers, which is very unnerving. Denzel Washington standing in front of the rubble of his office, which has just been blown up… This is probably just speculation on my part, but what went through my head when I re-watched this movie recently, is whether it was possible that the 9/11 people had seen this stuff. Beside the blown up buildings and the shot of the Twin Towers is the way hardline general Bruce Willis goes about solving the problem – doing _exactly_ what Ariel Sharon has recently done in the West Bank. Lock off the town/neighborhood, arrest all males in a specific age range, lock them up in temporary concentration camps (in the Boer War sense of the word) and see who’s wanted. One of the more questionable avenues the film takes is the justification of torture to obtain information, although it is also shown to be useless in the second of the two incidences.
Another thing to note is that this movie simply isn’t the same movie after September 11th. Which is remarkable of itself, because most movies about current events are made before the fact, rather than after.

“John Q” Plot Summary
A down-on-his luck father, whose insurance won’t cover his son’s heart transplant, takes the hospital’s emergency room hostage until the doctors agree to perform the operation. add synopsis
It’s a good film and Denzel is amazing as usual.
Denzel does a great job in this film. His performance was moving and made me cry. Just as he did in Man on Fire. The film itself isn’t too bad. The music could of been better but they didn’t do a bad job on it. It’s Denzel’s acting that makes the film however. If you are a Denzel fan and feel like watching a well performed and touching film… then get a box of tissues and sit down and watch ‘John Q’. It isn’t his best film but certainly another one of his well performed ones. This story is about a poor family and the poor health system in America. He loves his son dearly and will do anything for him. This is the tale about a man who will stop at nothing to try and save his son’s life who needs a new heart and it truly is touching.

“Philadelphia” Movie Review
“Philadelphia” Plot Summary
When a man with AIDS is fired by a conservative law firm because of his condition, he hires a homophobic small time lawyer as the only willing advocate for a wrongful dismissal suit.
Rich, Compelling, Deep, Magnificent Film!!
Before I saw this movie I rated Tom Hanks as a competent actor, always consistent and dedicated to his craft. Roles that stood out for me where undoubtedly Forrest Gump and of course The Green Mile. I came into this movie knowing absolutely nothing about the plot, characters whether it was popular or how widely known it was. My house mate had rented it out, and left it sitting on the table. I picked it up and looking at the cover saw Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington staring back. Of course with two solid and professional actors like that your pretty much guaranteed a movie of a certain standard. But still I was hesitant about watching it thinking it must be some already overdone story about two strong interesting characters coming into and then overcoming some obstacles, providing views on life and such along the way.
I can’t believe I almost didn’t watch this movie. I wont tell you anything about the plot or the story. Because even though the plot is interesting and the story relevant, you’ll have seen it done a hundred times in other movies, television or literature. The reason you will want to see this movie will be to witness Tom Hanks sink his teeth so deep into a role that he will make Forest Gump look like a training exercise. Not that it overshadows it, the opposite in fact, seeing him capable of this extraordinary performance only leaves you wondering, if you didn’t already, how you didn’t see before what a remarkable actor he is. If I have led you to believe that this film offers nothing more than Hank’s incredible performance then that is not my intention. The film itself is staggeringly magnificent, see for yourself and let the film take you in and Tom Hanks leave you breathless.

“Ali” Movie Review
“Ali” Plot Summary
A biography of sports legend, Muhammad Ali, from his early days to his days in the ring. add synopsis
The Greatest of All Times – Ali
In this true story about the life of Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali, director Michael Mann does a great job of bringing Ali’s personality to life by casting Will Smith for the title role. This movie takes you through the accounts of Ali’s life showing you how he became ‘The Greatest’ including his title fight with Sonny Liston (Michael Bentt), his decision to follow the Nation of Islam, personal triumphs and defeats with marriage, being banned from boxing, and the famous ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ against George Foreman (Charles Shufford).
Although the movie did a pretty good job of depicting Ali’s life by the use of non linear structure and showing the complexity of human relationships, I felt it would have been a little more interesting if it would have shown more about his connection to Malcolm X (Mario Van Peebles) and the Nation of Islam since he is a devout Muslim
The movie shows the heart and determination of Ali and his quest for being the greatest boxer of all times by the vigorous workouts and strict training regiments by his trainer/cornerman Drew ‘Bundini’ Brown (Jamie Foxx) with the use of deep focus in a lot of the shots where the two of the had conversations and extreme close up shots of Ali’s face during his fights when he was sent to his corner, especially of his eyes
The intensity of the workouts and the actual fights made you feel like you were right amongst the action, similar to the portrayal of Denzel Washington as Reuben ‘The Hurricane’ Carter in his life story
It shows his playful humor with his opponents, often calling them names, taunting them about being so ugly and his colleague, Howard Cosell (Jon Voight) whom he shares a close relationship with and always teased about snatching his toupee off of his head and how much prettier he was than Howard
In his personal life, Ali goes through a series of marriages with Sonji Roi (Jada Pinkett Smith), Belinda Ali (Nona Gaye) and Veronica Porche (Michael Michelle) and being banished from boxing for not participating in the Vietnam War
Overall, the movie was a pretty decent portrayal of Ali’s career and personal life, showing the highs and lows, personal triumphs and ultimate victory of one mans quest to be the ‘Greatest of All Times’ through hard work, being focused, dedication, love, and friendship with some tears, laughter and playful banter.
