FAST PACED EXCITING MOVIE
I went to see THE ITALIAN JOB with mixed reviews in my head. I was pleasantly surprised with an entertaining close to 2 hours. I thought the cast was just great and so were the special effects, with the safe and truck just dropping out of sight. If you like fast paced action movies, this is the one to see.

You are never too old to have fun
What movie with Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones. James Garner, James Cromwell, Donald Sutherland, and Marcia Gay Harden wouldn’t be worth a look. This one has it all, but mostly laughs. This Clint Eastwood produced and directed movie is great simply because the cast doesn’t appear to take it seriously. They are just having fun. And special effects? They are better here than other movies like Armageddon and Deep Impact
If you like movies where people are considered outdated or replaceable and prove the experts wrong, then this is the one. I watch it and keep getting reminded about all those COBOL experts who were back making the big bucks just prior to the millennium change.

Great Animation, Father-Son Relationship a problem
Right, there were great animations. Astro Boy is a warm, affectionate, likable super hero. Troubling was the father-son relationship. Our 6 and 3 year old were shaken by the father’s attitude towards the boy. I don’t know why the writers decided to take that route in the story. Ambiguous also was the fired scientist on earth and his relationship with the earth kids. It seems the good and bad needs clearer markers so viewers don’t have to worry about how the characters are being perceived and then revealed. Astro was great, the robot personalities and robot fights were great, kid peers good — guess the adult models were the collection of characters that were lacking. Some situations may require some explaining to your kids. There we no suggestive issues or improprieties, as far as I could see.

“Reign Over Me” Plot Summary
A man who lost his family in the September 11 attack on New York City runs into his old college roommate. Rekindling the friendship is the one thing that appears able to help the man recover from his grief.
Not Warm and Fuzzy but it IS Great ~ Don’t Miss This
I didn’t know what to expect with this one. I was pleasantly surprised as well as shocked. Adam Sandler met and surpassed any expectations I would have ever had with a dramatic role
This film will take you through an emotional roller coaster and because of it’s execution, you won’t even mind. The story itself is too painful to imagine but the range of emotions are very understandable. You can’t help but feel something for both of the leads but the story is clearly focused on Sandler. Adam delivers a more than capable performance in a VERY demanding role
Whatever you were/are expecting from this film, expect more. Set aside two hours and prepare to involve yourself. I was actually disappointed when it ended because I wanted more story. How often can you say that?

“Backdraft” Plot Summary
Two Chicago firefighter brothers who don’t get along have to work together while a dangerous arsonist is on the loose. add synopsis
Good firefighter movie
Backdraft was actually not a bad movie. The plot wasn’t amazing mainly because it never really gets suspenseful and it just seems kind of stupid how trained firemen keep getting killed by the same type of fire. But I don’t think the plot is what made the movie interesting. The relationship between the two brothers (Baldwin and Russell) keep the viewer watching. This is actually one movie where I said ‘gee, Kurt Russell can actually act’. Possibly the only time I’ll say that. This was a stretch for him and I really liked it. Baldwin’s character is OK for me, nothing amazing, but decent. I really liked Donald Sutherland too. Even though he was thrown in as a rip-off of Hannibal Lectar (crazy criminal who tells them who the killer is if you talk to him about your past blah blah blah). Even though he led them toward the wrong people, possibly on purpose, and it was almost meaningless to have in the plot, I like Sutherland no matter what he’s in. Robert De Nero as always is too cool. You have to like him, even though his part wasn’t as big in this one. All in all, decent flick, worth watching, and possibly better than Ladder 49, as far as firefighter movies go.

“Phone Booth” Plot Summary
Stuart Shepard finds himself trapped in a phone booth, pinned down by an extortionist’s sniper rifle.
One of my most favourite films
At first I thought the film was going to be just a normal thriller but it turned out to be a thousand times better than I expected. The film is truly original and was so dark & sinister that gives the tensive mood also it is emotionally & psychologically thrilling, the whole movie is charged with pulse pounding suspense and seems like it’s really happening. It’s amazing that how they managed to make an 80 minute movie with just a guy in a phone booth but the full credit goes to Colin Farrell and Larry Cohen the writer not Joel Schumacher because he is a crappy director. Joel Schumacher’s films are rubbish especially The Number 23, Phone Booth was shot in 10 days with a budget of $10 million so it wasn’t a hard job to make it, that’s why Joel doesn’t get any credit but the cast & crew did a fantastic job. I also really liked the raspberry coloured shirt Colin was wearing and it was an excellent choice of clothing because the viewers are going to watch him throughout the whole film. When I first saw the movie I fell in love with it and I bought it on DVD the next day and I’ve seen it about 20 times and I’m still not fed up with it. Phone Booth is and always will be Colin Farrell’s best film! Overall it is simply one of my favourite films and I even argued over my friend because he didn’t like it.

Wow !!
I’ve probably seen this film more times than I’ve had hot dinners, and it just gets better every time. Some of the scenes are so classic, that they come up in drunken conversations very regularly. The greatest tragedy is the death of Belushi. He was truly brilliant !
