    “Lord of War” Movie Review

    “Lord of War” Plot Summary

    An arms dealer confronts the morality of his work as he is being chased by an Interpol agent.

    A ‘Stylish’ Look At Arms Dealing

    This was a very pleasant surprise, far better than I had ever hoped, filled with fabulous cinematography and riveting story about the life of arms dealer during the 1980s and ’90s

    It was an interesting film, to say the least, and Nicholas Cage was terrific as the lead character, ‘Yuri Orlov.’ I loved his narration, too. How much of what he said is true, I have no idea, but it’s fascinating stuff. Don’t believe a lot of it, even when they tell you it is ‘based’ on true events. Most of still can (and usually) is made up for dramatic purposes

    I felt those visuals, combined with the outstanding acting and always-interesting story made this a good film. It also proved you don’t need action every two minutes to keep a film involving for the audience. This has just the right amount of drama, suspense, action, romance and, yes, even humor. With all the political comments made here in the narration I was wondering if I was going to hear the typical Democrat whine and sure enough, late in the film a comment is made regarding the 2000 elections. The liberals still can’t get over losing, fair and square. They just can’t accept that. This is about the fifth time I’ve heard this in 2007 films although at least time, the guy making the absurd statement was the Liberian dictator…..but it really was the film maker, of course. Despite that, and the very pessimistic storyline that evil always wins in the world. According to Bible of ‘Yuri,’ in the end, the meek won’t inherit the earth; the arms dealers will and that evil rules, so why fight it and yourself over it. Wow, what uplifting words to live by. Outside of Yuri’s wife ‘Ava’ (Bridget Moynahan) and the man who pursues him, ‘Jack Valentine’ (Ethan Hawke) no one in here has much in the way of high-ground morals. At least they made the lawman an honest; that’s rare in films today. Jared Leto plays Cage’s brother ‘Vitaly’ and plays his standard slime-ball character. Wow, this guy is becoming the male Jennifer Jason Leigh, regarding sleazy roles. Everyone was solid in here, from the Americans to the Russians the Africans….and all intriguing people. Ian Holm as rival arms dealer ‘Simeon Weisz’ deserves mention

    Amir Mokri is the cinematographer and Andrew Niccol, the director, who combined to make this movie look so stylish and beautiful to see. Looking at Mokri’s resume, I see he’s done a number of stylish films. Niccol hasn’t directed much but what he has also offers interesting visuals

    Looking at the front and back cover of the DVD might make you think this is just another of these brainless action flicks, but it is not. This is solid film.

    “Panic Room” Movie Review

    “Panic Room” Plot Summary

    A woman and her teenage daughter become imprisoned in the panic room of their own house by 3 criminals.

    thrilling!

    Well, that was COOL! In fact, I was pretty disappointed by David Fincher’s last couple of movies, especially ‘The Game’ (real’ boring!), so I was a bit cautious, when started watching this one. It was Good. Well, I’ve heard some of the comments about the weak ending of the movie, but, believe me, it’s not that weak at all. Altogether we have here a thriller movie with a great photography work, some astounding effects and an atmosphere, thrilling you to the bone. And, of course, Jodie Foster, as good as this lady is. Note her performance in front of the couple of cops (possibly her best moment in the movie).

    I give it 8/10 and highly recommend it to everyone. Have fun…

    “American Psycho” Movie Review

    “American Psycho” Plot Summary

    A wealthy New York investment banking executive hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies.

    One of the greatest visions ever brought to us

    Spoilers includedThis is not a slasher movie, indeed. It’s a very deep, strange and delicate moment in satire. While it’s serious, it’s ironic and ridiculous. Great stuff! Funniest and the most (yes I dare say it) brilliant satire I’ve ever seen. Christian Bale’s performance is unbelievable and if someone disagrees, they have to show me how to perform an emotional breakdown for 2 minutes on a phone. Just unbelievable. I’ve seen this 5 times now and it never gets boring. All the characters in Bateman’s world live in materialism, self-obsession, wealth and empty lives which is saved for last as the horrifying truth for Patrick. None cares for anyone. Many may think that when Bateman runs around with a chainsaw in the hallway, somebody would call the cops. But that’s theme of this film: None cares except if it has something do with themselves. Brilliant, simply brilliant. When Bateman sees this, he gives up hope, implying that he is not going to stop his frenzy until someone stops him (which happens in that embarrassing sequel which I’m never going to watch). Mary Harron’s masterpiece, Bale’s best performance (without an Oscar nod of course), at the same time one of the shortest, deepest, confusing, puzzling and mysterious satire films ever. One of the best. It’s a must see. My personal favourite. DON’T miss it if you can take some violence mixed in with irony and very black and bold humor

    Solid 9/10

    “Alexander” Movie Review

    “Alexander” Plot Summary

    Alexander, the King of Macedonia and one of the greatest military leaders in the history of warfare, conquers much of the known world.

    A GOOD movie

    Though many have had very negative things to say about it, I felt that it was a good movie. Watching that Colin, I forgot that he was Colin and started to see Alexander. Just for that I felt that this movie is of some worth. I have to admit some of the lines sent chills down my spin, but the movie on the whole was good. Historically this movie could not have been far off. Pertaining to Alexander’s death, I liked how the cause was left ambiguis. Those that say that Stone butchered History in making this movie I find to be wrong. Though Alexander might not have been blond, why not by the way, much of what was portrayed went against common belief but true to what we have learned of the great conqueror. I guess summed up, this was a GOOD movie, I enjoyed myself, and was able to immerse myself in Stone’s interpretation of the life of a GREAT man.

    “The Thin Red Line” Plot Summary

    Director Terrence Malick’s adaptation of James Jones’ autobiographical 1962 novel, focusing on the conflict at Guadalcanal during the second World War. add synopsis

    Most beautiful film in cinema history

    Hardly has any movie ever touched me like this one. And every time I watch it on DVD or TV, it gets better and better. I didn’t enjoy it very much the first time I saw it in cinema in 1998 but I did enjoy it more and more with each time I saw it again

    The most beautiful scene is Private Witt walking past his fellow soldiers in the camp towards the end and a tear drop runs down his cheek. What is this supposed to mean ? Sadness because he knows he is going to die soon or happiness because he feels like they are his only true family left after he lost his most important family member – his mother ? This is the best movie ever made. Each frame is a piece of art. Each word, each sentence is a revelation. This piece of film will forever be remembered and revered by future filmmakers to come.

    “Requiem for a Dream” Movie Review

    “Requiem for a Dream” Plot Summary

    The hopes and dreams of four ambitious people are shattered when their drug addictions begin spiraling out of control.

    This movie really blows you away

    I am in shock. Shock should be the word to describe this movie. It’s truly a work of art. The colors, the images , all about this movie relates to art. It’s a masterpiece. Darren Aronofsky put’s you’re mind in situations you couldn’t imagine , the characters are extraordinary , the acting outstanding ,the music also is perfect … i don’t know , maybe Requim of a Dream relates somehow to Stanley Kubrick’s ‘ A Clockwork Orange ‘ , it’s that kind of quality that is very rare in the cinema industry that should put this movie in my opinion in a top 10 all time films. Maybe i am being subjective but you will have to sea this movie to understand what i really mean by that.
