    “Pretty Woman” Movie Review

    “Pretty Woman” Plot Summary

    A man in a legal but hurtful business needs an escort for some social events, and hires a beautiful prostitute he meets… only to fall in love.

    A winning romantic comedy.

    Garry Marshall may not be the most interesting director working in Hollywood, but his movies are definitely entertaining, and in that sense he is successful. Perhaps his two greatest films, which also are the ones he’ll most likely be remembered for, are ‘Beaches’ and ‘Pretty Woman’. One of the most commercially successful (almost $500m worldwide!!) romantic comedies of all time,’Pretty Woman’ is a charming modern day fairy tale that works largely in part to the phenomenal on-screen chemistry between its two stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. In an Academy Award nominated performance as Vivian Ward, Julia Roberts truly shines. Her screen presence is nothing short of radiating, not to mention she’s a highly skilled comedic actress. The film also owes a lot to its equally strong supporting performances from Jason Alexander, Laura San Giacomo and Hector Elizondo. All cliches aside, it’s highly enjoyable and stands up superbly even after repeated viewings, a definite 10/10.

    “American History X” Movie Review

    “American History X” Plot Summary

    A former neo-nazi skinhead tries to prevent his younger brother from going down the same wrong path that he did.

    A masterpiece

    Consider this: an ultra-low-budget movie on the subject of racism, with no CGI and few special effects of any kind, with all of the action taking place on two or three sets, the plotline basically consisting of two or three people talking at a time punctuated by occasional outbursts of no-holds-barred violence, a massive downer of an ending, and not starring the usual assortment of Hollywood stars. Sounds like an indie for sure, right? But it’s not. It was a Hollywood film, although for the life of me I can’t imagine how any major studio got behind it. AHX is one of the best films of the decade if not of all time. Norton, who was just kicking off his career, is absolutely mesmerizing as a repentant skinhead and Furlong, known primarily for his role in T2 (and whose career has sort of sputtered out), is right up there with him as the confused younger brother. A must-see for everyone, although not the kiddies. An amazing film, right up and through the incredibly sad ending.

    The Best Film I’ve Ever Seen

    Not too long ago, my sister watched Aladdin a lot. I thought the music was pretty good, and I wanted to check out more music by Alan Menken. I found Hunchback. I vaguely recalled scenes I had seen when I saw it at the theater (I was 5 or 6 then), so I wanted to remember what exactly happened in it. I listened to some of the music from it, and I was hooked. ‘Bells of Notre Dame’ and ‘Topsy Turvy’ continually play in my head (and I continually play them on the piano).

    I honestly think this movie is the best film I have ever seen. The music is fantastic, the animation is great, and the story is touching and heartwarming. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good film.

    “Final Destination 3″ Plot Summary

    In this third installment of the Final Destination series, a student’s premonition of a deadly rollercoaster ride saves her life and a lucky few, but not from death itself which seeks out those who escaped their fate.

    Best of the three

    This film is definitely the best of the three, hands down!! The ending is excellent. It proves that death is inevitable, no matter what! The other two did that, but in the sequel. This film did it at the end, with everyone dying! This one can’t be outdone, so no more final destination’s are necessary! And the pictures, with the predicting death thing, was awesome!! I think that was a good addition! And it was gory, not that the other two weren’t; but this one, you could feel it! It was like you were right there watching it all happen! And just when you think you have it figured out, like with the weight bench or the horse, something happens that surprises you! The other two were extremely predictable and hard to sit through. This one, you were on the edge of your seat the whole time; waiting for something unexpected to happen!!

    “The Bourne Identity” Movie Review

    “The Bourne Identity” Plot Summary

    A man is picked up by a fishing boat, bullet-riddled and without memory, then races to elude assassins and recover from amnesia.

    Excellent

    I was pleasantly surprised with the Bourne Identity

    Very rarely do I get to watch a movie that surpasses my expectations

    First of all can I say that there are so many films out there that have the same regurgitated ideas and plot lines

    Not many of which have any originality

    This however is one of the exceptions thankfully and pleasantly

    Centred around a man who gets washed ashore and with no memory.( OK so this has been done before !!) but this movie was original

    A selection box of mystery, action and great acting by all concerned

    Haven’t seen much of Mr Damion I have to admit but he was impressive

    The photography ( can I use that term without sounding like a theatre studies student ?) was very good

    In fact watching this movie was like watching one of those middle of the night foreign movies in a funny sort of way

    However this was much more

    In a word this film was ORIGINAL.Well directed and well acted. Good to see a film that doesn’t have to rely on spectacular special effects and painted backdrops

    This film worked because it worked without any of that.( Now I am waffling)

    “The Bourne Ultimatum” Movie Review

    “The Bourne Ultimatum” Plot Summary

    Jason Bourne dodges a ruthless CIA official and his agents from a new assassination program while searching for the origins of his life as a trained killer.

    Fantastic Conclusion

    The final installment in the action thriller franchise is just that probably the hardest hitting of the three films. It goes further to play the anti-Bond theme. Bourne doesn’t like what he is doing and wants to know about his blurry past. Everything about this film hits it on the nail from the cinematography to choreography/stunt work to the script to acting

    The film starts out in a flurry as Bourne is running from the Moscow police. The story seems to pick up right where the first film left off. Or does it? The time is a little muddled here, but we get the fact that Bourne is remembering things. A sudden flashback while trying to clean himself up nearly gets him caught, but he makes it and doesn’t kill anyone. They aren’t his target. From there we get more of the intrigue of his past with a new player, Noah Vosen, who seems to know everything about Bourne and will protect it at all costs. Pamela Landy is back as well as Nicky Parsons who seems to have a past with Bourne as well

    The cinematography is in your face following tight on practically everything. The car chase is even more intense if that seems possible than the ones from the first two. And the veteran cast chasing Bourne is superb with a nice part by Albert Finney. It also has slight political overtones in relationship to rendition and other government policies, but that is minor and integrated very well within the plot. All in all this is the best of the trilogy conclusions this year, if not the best action trilogy ever.

    “Ladykillers” Movie Review

    “Ladykillers” Plot Summary

    An eccentric, if not charming Southern professor and his crew pose as a band in order to rob a casino, all under the nose of his unsuspecting landlord: a sharp old woman.

    An Amusing Tidbit from the Coen Bros.

    Not up there with ‘O Brother’ or ‘Fargo,’ but definitely better than ‘Intolerable Cruelty.’ Best thing about it is the dialogue — there are a lot of really funny lines (though some of it is hard to understand). The plot — a remake — is a basic black comedy crime caper story where a gang of oddballs gets together to steal a bunch of money from a casino and everything eventually goes wrong. Tom Hanks is solid — his character is quite a creation — and the old lady is funny too. Of course — this being a Coen Bros. creation — there are lots of minor characters who are really amusing. Marlon Wayans’ character is annoying, though — he’s just sort of a typical p***ed-off, smart-ass, black guy. The cinematography is lovely, of course. And by the way, there is an AMAZING gospel choir and great gospel music throughout.
