“Proof of Life” Movie Review
“Proof of Life” Plot Summary
Alice hires a professional negotiator to obtain the release of her engineer husband, who has been kidnapped by anti-government guerrillas in South America. add synopsis
A good and very entertaining thriller with Russell Crowe
While building a dam in ‘Tecala’, a country situated in the Andes, the chief America engineer ‘Peter Bowman’ (David Morse), is captured by anti-government forces during a raid in the capital. When the rebels discover their identity require $3 million to return safe and sound. However, the company of ‘Peter’, based in Houston, is on the brink of bankruptcy and has canceled the insurance policy against kidnappings, so it cannot provide the money for their rescue. Abandoned by the company, ‘Alice’ (Meg Ryan), the wife of ‘Peter’, must cope with the situation by your account. She hires the services of the negotiator of hostages professional ‘Terry Thorne’ (Russell Crowe), a veteran of SAS, which in recent years has dealt with numerous kidnappings.’Proof of Life’ is a film little considered due to high expectations for its attractiveness argument and that is the first film of Russell Crowe after the great success throughout the world with ‘Gladiator.’ But its director Taylor Hackford has not sought a film committed and complaint, only has sought to expose through a current problem, a simple thriller and fairly, conventional with good scenes of action. Its objective is achieved by far, but it is not at all what has been expected of this film
In terms of its scenes of action, they are very successful and generous, with some contribution of tension well managed. The film is conventional within this genre of films. It has not nothing to do not have seen before, but it knows expose very well the action, although the fabric loving can be considered very secondary fulfills its mission,

“Aladdin” Movie Review
“Aladdin” Plot Summary
Aladdin, a street urchin, accidentally meets Princess Jasmine, who is in the city undercover. They love each other, but she can only marry a prince.
Aladdin is my favorite movie of all time.
This is my favorite movie of all time. I have loved this movie since I saw it when it came out in 1992. I have watched it so many times, that I know all the words. I think this movie is great to watch with the kids. Or even if you don’t have kids. I own all three on DVD and VHS. It is the first movie my daughter saw. I think it is the best Disney movie ever made. I like all three, but the first is still my favorite one. it’s the original that sticks with you. the others may be good, but not as good as the first. I hope everyone can enjoy this movie. I think no matter how old you are, or no matter what you do, that there is always room for a good Disney movie.

“GoldenEye” Movie Review
“GoldenEye” Plot Summary
James Bond teams up with the lone survivor of a destroyed Russian research center to stop the hijacking of a nuclear space weapon by a fellow agent believed to be dead. add synopsis
Excellent Bond film and Brosnan’s best outing
Six years passed between the release of ‘Licence to Kill’ and ‘GoldenEye’, Pierce Brosnan’s debut as Bond, and those six years were clearly beneficial to the franchise. ‘GoldenEye’ has its fair share of flaws, but it feels revitalized and fresh, unlike the film it follows, ‘Licence to Kill’, a lethargic offering that was deservedly the lowest grossing Bond film when adjusted for inflation. ‘GoldenEye’ makes a clean break from previous franchise films, becoming self-aware for the first time and taking on an almost revisionist feel by casting Judi Dench as M and having her call Bond a ’sexist, misogynist dinosaur’. Even the Bond girls are in no way dependent on Bond- if you count the villain she was clearly the uh… ‘dominant’ half of that relationship, and even the ‘good’ girl bossed Bond around. In a way this is refreshing to see, and Brosnan fits the part excellently, never losing his composure, always with a witty one-liner to throw back. The main reason I like Brosnan a lot better than Moore is that he doesn’t take the ‘class’ act too far. He’s classy, charming, witty, but also cruel and ruthless when he needs to be. I don’t see the validity of the claims that he was the wimpiest Bond; he’s got far more physicality than Moore and a much harder edge, generally speaking. ‘GoldenEye’ does have its flaws, of course. The film could have been a whole 20 minutes shorter, the musical score is not one of the best of the franchise (but not nearly as bad as some suggest), and the humor, outside of Brosnan’s one-liners, falls flat most of the time. I’m also not sure about the huge emphasis on technology, which is taken too far at times here, and would be taken even farther into the land of the completely ridiculous later in the series. Then again, it was the mid-90’s and technology was a hot topic. The film handles its subject matter well for the most part. The film’s action set-pieces are terrific and the sets look beautiful. One of the things that impressed me most about ‘GoldenEye’ is that when it went for drama it succeeded reasonably well. Sean Bean and Famke Janssen make a terrific team of villains and Martin Campbell keeps the film moving at a swift pace, drastically improving on John Glen’s work in ‘Licence to Kill’.'GoldenEye’ may not be the best Bond film, but it’s a welcome addition to the series. Brosnan is not as good a Bond as Connery at his best, but he’s on par with Lazenby and Dalton, if not better, and most certainly better than Roger Moore. 20 minutes shorter and ‘GoldenEye’ could have been an absolute classic, but as it is it’s an excellent Bond offering and one of the better Bond films. The title song is terrific, isn’t it?8/10
