    “I Spy” Movie Review

    “I-Spy” Plot Summary

    Based on the 1960’s television series I Spy. A professional athlete (boxer – Eddie Murphy) has to help a U.S. government agent recover a missing jet. add synopsis

    overall pretty funny,gotta watch it.

    eddie murphy is a big mouth boxer where everything is all about him. his attitude is raw and self endulging. owen wilson is a spy that gets all the low budget crappy spy equipment but feels that he is a much better spy than his cohorts. his coworkers get all the good stuff ( high dollar epuipment) and he gets junk, and he makes a big deal about it several times in the movie in a funny way. if you want to watch a funny movie with lots of unexpected punchlines then this is a must see. the storyline is a little lame and predictable, but the acting and annicdotes(sp?) make up for it. pretty good action and lots of humor.very entertaining for an hour and a half. one of the best films i have seen put out by both actors in a while ( 2 years or longer).

    “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” Movie Review

    “Talladega Nights” Plot Summary

    #1 NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby stays atop the heap thanks to a pact with his best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton, Jr. But when a French Formula One driver, makes his way up the ladder, Ricky Bobby’s talent and devotion are put to the test.

    Will Ferrell at his best.

    Will Ferrell at his best

    Seriously Here, Ferrell plays a good ole country boy with rocks for brains and only one worry in the world and that’s winning. Sound like a familiar past TV character of his? Ferrell is also a Writer on this film with Director Adam McKay, who together have made a solid comedy team since those SNL days, including 2004’s ‘Anchor Man.’ But standing just as tall in this picture is the surprising man-about-town, Mr. Sasha Cohen (Borat, Ali G, Bruno) as Ricky Bobby’s French nemesis, Jean Girard. This guy is such a great character actor it was difficult to even spot him at first. But who else would be brave enough to kiss Ferrell on the lips?www.manwithavan.blogspot.com

    “Dead Man” Movie Review

    “Dead Man” Plot Summary

    On the run after murdering a man, accountant William Blake encounters a strange Indian named “Nobody” who prepares him for his journey into the spiritual world. add synopsis

    A perfect full stop to a great genre

    This is what I call ‘first class’. Music, picture, dialogues, atmosphere, the actors’ play I like it all. What I do no like is that at least one scene could be easily moved to ‘deleted scenes’ section, while all the deleted scenes should be put into the film. You don’t have to be a fortune-teller to understand what ‘one scene’ I mean

    It is always enjoyable when the film is opened wide for interpretations. This is the case. When does Blake die? Where is he travelling? Is it reality? Who is that cannibal? Why is he being hit by an arrow? Who is that ‘Nobody’? Where is Blake heading? Being myself a bit of a guitar player I really enjoy the score. It adds a lot to the freaky pace of the film and creates the bizarre atmosphere

    Great job, Mr Jim Jarmusch. But 9 out of 10 because of the existence of something extra and the absence of something vital and important. Thank you for attention.

    “The Peacemaker” Movie Review

    “The Peacemaker” Plot Summary

    A US Army colonel and a civilian woman supervising him must track down stolen Russian nuclear weapons before they’re used by terrorists. add synopsis

    Great first film from Dreamworks

    This films plot feels like it could be from a rejected Bond script; corrupt Russian general steals nuclear weapons in a spectacular train robbery and our heroes travel around the world trying to stop him delivering them with little or no help from anybody outside their own agency apart from one Russian who dies fairly early on. Don’t let that put you off though as the story, while somewhat cliche is exciting

    The opening sequence where a train full of commandos pulls along side a train carrying nuclear warheads on their way for disposal and transfer most of them from one train to the other was exciting. When they detonate one of the bombs to hide their crime from the Russian authorities the detonation gets the attention of the US. At first it is thought that it is a terrorist attack but soon they realise it was just cover for a robbery. In charge of the US investigation is newly promoted Dr. Julia Kelly assisted by Lt. Col. Devoe, played ably by Nicole Kidman and George Clooney

    What follows is a thrilling adventure as they first go to Vienna to meet up with an old friend of Devoe’s and follow up a lead about a Russian general who officially died on the train but had apparently phoned his girl friend afterwards. When Devoe’s friend is gunned down they flee in his car and what follows is a fairly spectacular sequence where the assailants pursue Devoe and Kelly but end up dead in a Vienna square

    Now our heroes know where the bad guys are going and what vehicle they are in the move to intercept it, the only problem is the bad guys are still in Russia and Devoe and his choppers don’t have permission from the Russians to cross the border. Of course he crosses anyway and is able to retrieve all but one of the weapons. This weapon eludes them and finds its way to the hands of a Bosnian who intends to detonate it in New York

    Like all such thrillers it lacks believability if one thinks too much about it but that doesn’t matter as it is such an exciting story with good heroes and villains. Talking of villains it was nice to see that the main villain wasn’t really a bad man, but a good man broken by the effects of war. It was also nice to see a film where there is no romantic involvement between the leading lady and the leading man. I’d definitely recommend this to fans of spy thrillers in the Bond mould.

    “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” Movie Review

    “Dodgeball” Plot Summary

    A group of misfits enter a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament in order to save their cherished local gym from the onslaught of a corporate health fitness chain.

    Great Fun!

    Picked this up on DVD for ?3 ($6) – didn’t know anything about it We thought it one of the funniest films we’ve seen for some time. Thought I’d check out the rating and was surprised how low (6.6) it was. Then checked out some of the ‘Hated It’ comments to see why this could be I guess that a lot of people find this film offensive, with stereotypical attitudes – like how a bisexual woman could kiss both a man and a woman (an extraordinary observation). Or that it was unfair to poke fun at someone who spent all his waking hours dressed up as pirate. I think that comment came from a member of the Long John Silver Alliance

    Lighten up! Comedy – like any other artistic endeavour is subjective – all I can say is that I laughed and found that at many points the jokes were coming faster than I could process them – always a good sign

    A good combination of slapstick humour and smart-ass comments delivered at a rapid pace And an ever-popular theme: will the underdogs triumph? Watch it and find out

    “In the Line of Fire” Movie Review

    “In the Line of Fire” Plot Summary

    Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan couldn’t save Kennedy, but he’s determined not to let a clever assassin take out this president. add synopsis

    It’s a classic!

    One of the finest movies I have viewed…Good script, original plot of a man who is haunted about JFK’s assassination when he was assigned to protect him on that Cold November day in 1963. Thirty years later another anti-social lunatic wants to assassinate the current president. The secret service agent loses his partner along the way,to the crazed gunmen who schemes,lies and murders anybody in his path who’ll stand in his way of his mission. The movie accompanies with a great memorable score,and a restrained but meaningful romance between Russo and Eastwood….which displays how difficult it is to have a romantic life in that kind of work. Malchovich is great,sure many other candidates could have played the role that he played,but how many could acted with such craftiness,and intellect that he displayed in the movie?Needless to say,I thought this was a great movie…everytime it’s on television I have to watch it..and I own it on dvd! I’m a big Eastwood fan,this only boosted his already fabulous career,and Malchovich’s best role to date!
