“Perfect Stranger” Movie Review

“Perfect Stranger” Plot Summary

A journalist goes undercover to ferret out businessman Harrison Hill as her best friend’s killer. Posing as one of his temps, she enters into a game of online cat-and-mouse.

Good Different Movie

I actually enjoyed this movie.. i didn’t want to watch it at first because of all the bad reviews but i have no idea why people are bashing it so much.. the movie keeps you guessing like crazy and i keep hearing people talking about how offensive it is.. i have seen way worse movies when it comes to swearing and ’sex’ scenes and people have given these movies very high ratings. People that are saying this is an offensive movie need to get off their high horse.. reality is movies are like this now get over it and quit being so sensitive.. man.. I enjoyed this movie and i would say people should rent it.. if you are very easily offended by swearing and a few scenes here and there that are a little graphic then don’t watch it.. the movie is rated ‘R’ for a reason.. so no kids will be watching it unless parents allow them..

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” Movie Review

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” Plot Summary

Snow White, pursued by a jealous queen, hides with the Dwarfs; the queen feeds her a poison apple, but Prince Charming awakens her with a kiss.

A great movie, then and now!

Walt Disney was making a huge gamble when he made this movie. He went way over budget, and even mortgaged his house for more financing…but it all paid off! This movie was, and still is, a classic! The animation techniques used were brand new for that day and age, and its effects can still be seen now. Even now, the viewer is struck in awe of the beauty and wonderfulness that is in this movie

Besides the amazing animation, it also has a great cast of characters, as well as many catchy tunes that make you want to ‘whistle while you work!’ I loved this movie, for all of the above reasons, and the fact that it will always be a masterpiece for generations to come

If you have not had the chance to see it, I strongly encourage you to check it out…you will be very glad that you did!

“Home of the Brave” Movie Review

“Home of the Brave” Plot Summary

Three soldiers struggle to readjust to life at home after returning home from a lengthy tour in Iraq. add synopsis

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…

    “Finding Neverland” Movie Review

    “Finding Neverland” Plot Summary

    The story of J.M. Barrie’s friendship with a family who inspired him to create Peter Pan.

    Beautiful, Moving Movie with Very Few Flaws

    I had heard that this was merely a ‘chick flick.’ Hey, my wife is the one who wanted to go see it. As it turned out, I went with three other guys, and we all loved it

    Some movies entertain; some teach; some open up new worlds. This movie opened up new worlds. With each passing scene, carefully woven from the previous ones, it was like crossing yet another threshold into another world. The story unfolded deeper and deeper with each new scene, each layer adding not to complexity (the story is rather simple), but to the depth. Depp and the others (esp. the young actor who played Peter) easily lead the audience deeper and deeper into the paths of authenticity, healing, love, friendship and the triumph of inner strength. The other characters, likewise, garnish the central story excellently

    The only flaw I saw is, I’m sure, a matter of taste and perspective; I felt the grandmother was simply too two-dimensional and not as believable as she should have been, though she, too, had some beautiful moments that truly added to the film

    Having much experience with divorce (being a divorce attorney) I found the unfortunate relationship between Depp’s character and his wife believable to a tee: two people deeply in love with each other yet more committed to personal pursuits than tending the difficult relationship we call marriage. Ironically, though Depp’s character ultimately became the main caretaker of the four boys, by following the tender feelings of his heart, he allowed his marriage to evaporate by not following the other tender feelings of his heart

    Nearly perfect. I give it a 9 out of 10.

    “Saw VI” Movie Review

    “Saw 6″ Plot Summary

    Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy…

    Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. Best Saw yet, but not by much!

    Almost everyone looks for a 6th sequel(if there is one) to flop miserably, but this sequel defied all odds. In order to appreciate the full value of Saw 6 you must have followed and payed attention to all previous Saws. Saw 6 answers lots of questions from previous Saws in style and Saw 6 has an awesome story on its own. Hoffman becomes an incredible character, as he was shaky in both Saw 4 and in Saw 5. Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) gives a performance Oscar worthy. Some of the acting was poor, but for the most part a lot better than other Saw films. The Traps were good and there was a lot of suspense while they were taking place. The Traps also took time and creativity to come up with and were unlike any other traps in previous films, which was really hard to do!(except in the end trap which reverts to Saw 1!!). Go see Saw 6, you will not be disappointed.

    “Trainspotting” Plot Summary

    Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends.

    One fantastic movie

    I saw this movie last year as a friend had it on DVD from the UK and, being a Ewan McGregor fan, I thought I’d give it a shot even though it’s considered an ‘artsy’ film. I was so shocked! It is a fantastic movie. I watched it over & over until she made me give it back. The young Ewan gives an Oscar-worthy (why he wasn’t nominated is beyond me) turn as the heroin addict trying to pull himself out and away from his addict buddies. He narrates the whole film with that rich Scot accent of his (reminds me of my Scottish grandparents) which gives even more depth to the characters and situations. The descent into the hell of addiction to the death of an innocent baby (very realistic) in their ‘home’, Ewan swimming through a vast sea of crap (yes, THAT kind) in a toilet, on through the entire film showing his constant struggle within himself amidst his friends to stay clean & sober is amazing. I could go on and on. It brings a memory of another film I saw years ago with a young Leo DiCaprio & David Thewlis in a little-seen movie called ‘Total Eclipse’ and which is also considered an ‘art’ film and really quite good. If you get a chance to see this, please do. You will not be sorry. If you happen to find it on DVD, BUY IT.

    “Phone Booth” Movie Review

    “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.

    “The Last King of Scotland” Movie Review

    “The Last King of Scotland” Plot Summary

    Based on the events of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin’s regime as seen by his personal physician during the 1970s

    Great Acting! and Gillian Anderson!

    I like movies based on real people in history. Because of the Oscar buzz surrounding Forest Whitaker now, I knew this movie is about Idi Amin. This is of course a familiar name in my childhood (asked in General Information contests), but I don’t really know much about him, except that he was a dictator

    This film has a documentary feel to it. It is really very realistic, even if upon reading background info that the Dr. Garrigan character is fictional. Even though granted that the Idi Amin regime was compressed into a coherent Hollywood storyline, it does not feel contrived. The final sequence of events at the Entebbe Airport was very suspenseful indeed

    Idi Amin was not really the lead character in this movie. It is actually Dr. Nicholas Garrigan. Being a physician, I could not help but be able to identify with his situation and dilemmas. Would you accept to be the personal physician of a country’s president upon his personal request? It seems to be an offer and career opportunity you could not refuse

    There is sex and violence in this movie. I could not agree though with Dr. Garrigan’s rashness regarding his love affairs, particularly his morals of hooking up with wives of his supposed friends. But considering that this movie is set in the 1970s, that was a totally different world pre-HIV. The violence, what can I say? After watching one violent film after the other, you get sort of anesthetized already. That said, the scene with hooks at the airport was still something else! The acting is very good. Forest Whitaker has channeled the Idi Amin persona very effectively. I could feel the scary and suffocating craziness whenever he is on screen. There’s something about this performance being based on a real character though. I think it would be harder to essay a totally fictional character since you have to create this new character from scratch. And I feel James McAvoy (who was actually Mr. Tumnus in ‘Narnia’!) did so very well as Dr. Garrigan. You dislike him, yet you can empathize the stickiness of his situation

    Before I end this review, I have to mention that I was very happy to see the luminous Ms. Gillian Anderson again. I totally did not know she was in this film and it was a welcome surprise. She handled her few scenes as the wife of a volunteer doctor very well indeed. I hope she gets meatier movie roles in the future.
