“Superman II” Movie Review

“Superman 2″ Plot Summary

Superman agrees to sacrifice his powers to marry Lois, unaware that three Kryptonian criminals he inadvertently released are conquering Earth. add synopsis

Best of the sequels!

After the events of ‘Superman: The Movie’, the man of steel (Christopher Reeves)just saved Lois (Margot Kidder)from terrorists in Paris as he throws out their thermonuclear device that accidentally breaks the three evil Kryptonian criminals named Zod, Ursa and Non (Terrence Stamp, Sarah Douglas and Jack O’Holloren) out of their space prison to enslave the Earth with the help of Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) as only Superman must stop them. But unfortunately for Clark Kent, he wants to give up his super powers so he can be with Lois for she has found out what Clark’s secret really is and is now mortal with no power. However, the country is in chaos especially the world which is in mortal danger from the fearsome four but can Clark change back to Superman? Excellent second part of the franchise and proves a second part of a franchise can work like ‘The Godfather 2′, ‘Evil Dead 2′, ‘Dawn of the Dead (1978)’, ‘Empire Strikes Back’, ‘Spider-Man 2′, ‘X2′, etc. The acting is top notch, the villains are believable especially the sexy Sarah Douglas as Ursa! Good special effects and E.G Marshall does an appearance as the President

This sequel has everything to please fans of the first movie especially more action then ever! a highly recommended sequel and can’t wait for the Richard Donner director’s cut version coming out this fall.

“Cast Away” Movie Review

“Cast Away” Plot Summary

A FedEx executive must transform himself physically and emotionally to survive a crash landing on a deserted island.

Simply wonderful!!

This is a marvelous, heartwarming, engaging movie that features the genius of Tom Hanks. The film was neither too long or boring; it was just right. It might have been boring if it’d been anyone other than Hanks, but as usual, he melts into his role and delivers a riveting performance.

Kudos to Zemeckis also in capturing Hanks’ ordeal on the island, from his weight loss to his desolation. This is one of the best ‘Robinson Crusoe’ type adaptations I’ve seen.

And Hanks’ journey back to civilization was so interesting and moving. He superbly played the part of the person who’s struggling to find his place after being out of touch for five years! The scenes are so touching, especially his reunion with Hunt.

I was almost convinced this was based on an actual account, so much so I was looking to see the trailers at the end of the movie, saying ‘Based on the real life account of…’

Tom Hanks is one of the best character actors of his generation, right alongside of Robert Duvall, Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and Russell Crowe.

As an aside, this is the only movie I’ve seen that’s been a showcase of a corporate logo from beginning to end (and not a bad association, I might add), to which I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t produced by FedEx. ;-)

If you’re looking for something more than the shallow and contrived dramatics of the reality series Survivor, or a movie without the standard pyrotechnics or other adrenalin boosting gimmicks, then this film will be well worth your time.

It’s a human interest story, pure and simple.

I was so drawn in that when the movie ended, I really wanted to see what happens to Chuck in the new phase of his life, after meeting his next potential love interest at the very end of the film.

I guess that’s left up to the imagination. Happily ever after. :-)

Enjoy a superb tour de force performance by Hanks.

    “The Firm” Movie Review

    “The Firm” Plot Summary

    A young lawyer joins a prestigous law firm only to discover that it has a sinister dark side. add synopsis

    Had issues, still good

    May contain spoilers, be warned!It seems like the more Tom Cruise movies I watch, the more I really really like him. The Firm surprised me because it was LONG, which means it has a lot of potential for viewers to lose interest, but that didn’t happen to me. It was tight & suspenseful all the way through. My one compliant: there were too many characters & too many different settings. I didn’t know all the lawyers names, plus the Mafia guys, the FBI workers, etc., not to mention where they all where, as the action was spread across several US cities plus in the Cayman Islands. All in all, a good movie. The changes in the story from the book that it was based on didn’t create a weaker/worse film. ***1/2 out of 5

    “Unforgiven” Plot Summary

    Retired Old West gunslinger William Munny reluctantly takes on one last job, with the help of his old partner and a young man.

    Best Western ever made

    ‘-I’m not worth it, to die like this… I was building a house…-Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.-I’ll see you in hell, William Munny…-Yeah…’Little Bill (a fabulous Gene Hackman) -almost- cries for his life. William Munny (best Clint Eastwood ever) shows no mercy. Now, who’s the good and who’s the bad guy? The whole western filmography in one single film. The whole film in one single dialogue. A real MASTERPIECE… 10/10

    “Enemy of the State” Movie Review

    “Enemy of the State” Plot Summary

    A lawyer becomes a target by a corrupt politician and his NSA goons when he accidentally receives key evidence to a serious politically motivated crime. add synopsis

    The smartest thriller ever made

    In 1998, I was only about seven years old and therefore I couldn’t see it in the theaters because of the rating, but my guess is, the entire world got a wake-up call to the horrifying truth about their government. And the thing is, everything that happened in ‘Enemy of the State’ is very, very possible of happening. But that’s just me thinking, ’cause it was over 11 years ago and and I couldn’t remember if I tried. Did this movie do the same thing to the government as ‘Jaws’ did to the beaches? Perhaps

    The movie is about a highly accomplished lawyer named Robert Clayton Dean played by Will Smith in the performance of his career and makes an extremely believable character and expresses his emotions of anger and paranoia just perfectly. Dean accidentally gets a videotape of a covered-up political murder and in most of the movie, he doesn’t realize it. But he’s aware that the people (NSA agents) chasing him are watching him for sinister purposes. Robert Dean is also one of the smartest characters in the history of films, as he is able to outsmart a corrupt agency who have practically everything on him, such as satellites, tracers and cameras

    Gene Hackman also stands out as the gruff, foul-mouthed former conspirer and government agent named Brill, who has had experience in surveillance technology and assists Dean in getting away from these dirty agents. However, Hackman doesn’t show up until after the first hour, but that demonstrates his character who has spent most of his life hiding and it shows the secretiveness of Brill. Although the role is somewhat smaller, Hackman makes the best of it

    And as for the NSA agents played by Jon Voight, Barry Pepper, Seth Green and Jack Black…..all of these guys are DIRTY, and I mean that in the truest meaning possible. These guys are ruining an innocent man’s life, screwing up his credit cards, and even wrecking his marriage just so they can get away with what they did. Believe me, you are gonna find yourself HATING these guys, and I mean it. And as movie villains go….you’re supposed to hate them, sometimes in other movies, you might be amused or not feel anything at all, but ‘Enemy of the State’ does what it’s supposed to do. Also, they’re very realistic ’cause they aren’t stupid and they know what they’re doing with all the technology they have

    Most of the film’s thrills comes from the suspense rather than the action, as much of Tony Scott’s films are like. The chase scenes such as the beginning when the NSA guys are going after Zavitz and when they’re chasing Dean in the hotel and on the streets are terrificly shot and edited. Also, later on the action comes in after Dean and Brill run from the agents is also a highlight, and it’s pretty hilarious after Dean asks Brill why he blew up the building and he reacts by saying ‘Because you made a phone call!’ which demonstrates how careful he is. And of course the ending stand-ff between the agents and the Italian mob is absolutely bad@$$ in the true sense of the word

    I absolutely love ‘Enemy of the State’ and support its position as one of the best thrillers of all time, because its very smart and doesn’t treat the audience like they’re a bunch of idiots. Buy it, rent it or borrow it from a friend, and watch the movie that happens to be the smartest thriller ever made….

    “The Mexican” Movie Review

    “The Mexican” Plot Summary

    A man tries to transport an ancient gun called The Mexican, believed to carry a curse, back across the border, while his girlfriend pressures him to give up his criminal ways.

    A film of entertainment.

    Jerry Welbach (Brad Pitt) has just received two ultimatum: the first of its head, a mafia that instructs it to travel to Mexico to restore an old and valuable gun so-called ‘The Mexican’, and the second of his girlfriend, Samantha, (Julia Roberts) requiring him to put an end to its relationship with the mafia. Jerry thinks that the more attractive alternative is to stay alive – even if you have problems with Samantha- and decides directed toward the south. Find the gun is easy, but bring back is a matter more complicated. It is assumed that is a carrier of a curse legendary, since it was commissioned by a rich landlord as a gift of wedding to a daughter who eventually died in tragic circumstances. A curse that Jerry has reason to believe, especially when a killer hostage-taking Samantha to assure the delivery of the pistol to mafia capo. It is a movie that has received poor criticism in general, but I believe that are made from the perspective of expect such large stars a result commensurate with its fame. If not we take into account the latter, the film is simply entertaining, quick, with good blows of humor, good photography and some dialogs interesting. The environments of the scenarios i have liked, but the characters Mexicans have little action . I noticed that only at the end of the film appear a few drawings of the two main actors together.
