“Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” Plot Summary
Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash.
entertaining
For $8 million, this is a fricking monument of 1990’s film. The first time I saw it I laughed at most of the jokes and followed the plot with pleasure. That’s more than I can say about any number of movies in the 1990’s that cost ten times as much to make and starred pricey talent. The editing is clever and cute. The casting is just short of flawless. Of the four principles, only Bacon seemed consistent to me. The minor parts were sometimes spectacular, esp. Big & Little Chris and Barry the Baptist
There are some legitimate complaints about this movie. The big one is that it doesn’t really go anywhere or mean anything. It seems like an awful lot of flash and talent to end up saying nothing about anything. But um it’s not like Lock, Stock is trying to be anything it isn’t, so maybe it’s not a valid critique after all. Considering how long Tarrantino’s influence has been around, it’s a little unfair to call Ritchie on imitating him. There are some similarities large casts, distinct characters, clever dialogue, rapid shifts in narratives from one string to another and shifting in time, and few other things. I think the problem is that years of dumbing down by Hollywood have almost eliminated all these things. The influence is there certainly, but it would not seem as pronounced if there were any other hugely exposed filmmakers in recent memory that put as much emphasis on dialogue and character besides Tarantino
I haven’t watched MTV since the mid-1980’s, so the style of Lock Stock and Snatch didn’t seem trite to me. Some people I talked to said that the film style was too much like the average car commercial or pop video, which is getting the influence backwards, but I could see how those associations would spoil the experience.

“Gone in 60 Seconds” Plot Summary
A retired master car thief must come back to the industry and steal 50 cars with his crew in one night to save his brother’s life.
Good action film
I have seen a lot of good action films in my day and this one is definitely one of the best ones. If you want to enjoy a film including amazing cars, an interesting and innovative plot and obviously if u want to see the beautiful Angelina Jolie, this is the film for you. The film gives you an interesting view into the life of modern and old school car thief’s. The film always keeps you excited and might have some twists, I don’t know…well…I might know I don’t want to spoil it for you. This film is a one of a kind and i reckon you see it as quick as possible, trust me you will enjoy it. Not only is the plot interesting but all the characters are being so represented in such a cool and interesting way that you just start thinking:’ I would love to be like them.’. Enjoy the film. ;)

Great War Movie Since Saving Private Ryan!
This movie was great and recommend you to see for yourself and don’t listen to the critics that are writing bad about this movie they don’t know what they are talking about. This movie starts out excellent good have ended a bit better but it was great. This movie shows you about the war in Iraq today and is shows it as great as I expected it starts out in the war over in Iraq and moves to the people who survived that were main characters in the movie and tells you how the life is over there its hell and it lets you know as much as it can about what is happening to our soldiers there and when they come home and how you will never be the same again. It shows how it conflicts with your life and all it can show well that basically sums it up I can’t say anymore it is GREAT and RECOMMEND you watch it…

This was great
I don’t know why it got such a low rating, I really enjoyed Conan the Destroyer. I wasn’t as good as the first one, but it was a very good sequel, and definitely worth watching. Good acting, good music, the special effects could have been better, but they were still good. WATCH THIS! Arnold did a really good job with this movie. I think one of the reasons people thought it wasn’t good was because it was either confusing or boring. It wasn’t boring at all. And it was a little confusing because it is a fantasy adventure movie! Look at Lord of the Rings, that is fantasy, only everybody loves that! What the….

“Tomb Raider” Plot Summary
Video game adventurer Lara Croft comes to life in a movie where she races against time and villains to recover powerful ancient artifacts. add synopsis
Jolie Stars In Special Effects Adventure
Director Simon West hits upon an action formula utilizing the female as heroine. Lara Croft stars Angelia Jolie, in a tailor-made role, as Lara Croft. Jolie is chic, sleek, and unique as the aristocrat turned adventurer. You must be an aristocrat to be an adventurer by definition; otherwise, how would you finance all those exotic escapades and cool clothes? Jolie performs all of her own stunts in this special effects-laden adventure that is long on action and exotic locales and short on character development and substance. It contains most elements of a fun, action movie: it’s fast paced. full of action, special effects, and form-fitting outfits. The plot concerns the recovery of some time altering artifact from an ancient tomb of sorts. Like most Bond films, the plot doesn’t matter much, as our eyes are fixed on Jolie and everything she says and does. Remember, the character is based upon a video game, so she’ll be able to do all sorts of things that real heroes wouldn’t be able to do. Jon Voight adds a cameo appearance as Jolie’s father, as he is in real life. *** of 4 stars.

“Tombstone” Plot Summary
A successful lawman’s plans to retire anonymously in Tombstone, Arizona, are disrupted by the kind of outlaws he was famous for eliminating.
Easily the best film I’ve seen in a month
A public service announcement to anyone that hasn’t seen this movie: Watch it now! I just saw it for the first time, and it’s easily the best movie I’ve seen in months
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but, in my opinion, characters are likely the most important aspect of a film. That said, the characters here couldn’t be better, each one has their own distinct personality, they all have moments to shine and, most importantly, they are all superbly acted. Top honours in that category go, of course, to Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday. Simply one of the best characters ever to grace the screen, no more needs to be said. Kurt Russell also did a very good job as celebrated lawman Wyatt Earp. The supporting cast are great as well, but these two certainly stand out…especially Kilmer
I wont get in to how great the plot is so that I don’t spoil it. I’ll just leave it at this: it’s an enthralling story that will keep you glued from beginning to end, surprise you at times, and even saves time to make you laugh. Very well written, very well played out. Even the music is great, which is something that I often overlook
In conclusion, I’m a huge western fan. In fact, next to horror, I’d have to say they are my favourite genre of film. Despite being fairly recent, this film ranks among the best and has certainly earned it’s spot as one of my favourite films.9/10

“Snakes on a Plane” Plot Summary
An FBI agent takes on a plane full of deadly and poisonous snakes, deliberately released to kill a witness being flown from Honolulu to Los Angeles to testify against a mob boss. add synopsis
Enjoyable Flight
Another brilliant film from my most favourite director David R. Ellis after Final Destination 2 & Cellular. Snakes on a Plane is definitely one of my most favourite movies and the best film of 2006. Their has already been a lot of films with snakes like Anaconda, King Cobra and Python but they are all rubbish and with no story. This movie is nothing like them it has an amazing story and it’s very relentless. Samuel L. Jackson’s acting as usual was terrific and his line ‘Enough is enough! I have had it with these mother f**king snakes on this mother f**king plane!’ is a trademark of the film just like ‘I’ll be back’ in The Terminator. The rest of the actors are all new and not very well known but the boy who is the witness he was in Wolf Creek, the young blonde air hostess in first class was the alien Sarah in Species 3 and the girl in the bathroom with another boy was in Final Destination 3 one of the girls in the sun bed. It was about 1 hour 40 minutes and I enjoyed every second of it. I don’t know which the best scene is because it was good right from start to end and it is the kind of film that can be watched again & again. My verdict is 20/10.

“Batman Forever” Plot Summary
Batman must battle Two-Face and The Riddler with help of an amourous psychologist and a young circus acrobat who becomes his sidekick, Robin.
Great film lots of good acting
i thought this was a great film. The Ridler (Jim Carry) was very good at his part i thought Dick Gracen/Robin (chris O’Donnell) Played his part with great enthusiasm it was an enjoyable action comedy film that deserves high ratings. The riddles were very well done. When i watched this film for the 1st time i wanted to watch it again straight afterwards. The bat mobile, Bat wing and bat boat were very cool. This is a film anyone can enjoy it makes you laugh and the villains were the best part, Ridler and two face (Jim carry and tommy lee Jones) and Dr. chase Maridian played her part with spirit as well. But Batman did hi part very very well playing the billionaire Bruce Wayne and the Darknight wanting to live harmoniously it was very interesting. i would recommend this film to lots of people of all ages
