“Shanghai Noon” Plot Summary
Jackie Chan plays a Chinese man who travels to the Wild West to rescue a kidnapped princess. After teaming up with a train robber, the unlikely duo takes on a Chinese traitor and his corrupt boss. add synopsis
perfect blend of action and comedy, the funniest western ever
This movie is a perfect blend of action and comedy. This movie stars Jackie Chan as Chon Wang, one of the soldiers of the army of the forbidden city in China. When the princess leaves and goes to America it is up to Chon to bring her back. When he gets to Nevada, where most of the story takes place he meets Roy O’Bannon played by Owen Wilson u’ll ever meet. He is a wanted outlaw and in an odd chain of events they become a duo. This is the funniest western, this movie surpasses Blazing Saddles by far. Blazing Saddles is funny but the one-liners that Owen Wilson drop are just so hilarious. ‘I don’t know Karate but I do know crazy, and I will use it’. Lucy Lui also stars as the Princess This movie is definitely worth seeing but you kinda wanna steer clear of the sequel ‘Shanghai Knights’ It does not do the first film justice. I have never been able to complete the second one mainly because it is boring. But salutes to Shanghai Noon the funniest western to date. 9 out of 10

“Dragonheart” Movie Review
“Dragonheart” Plot Summary
The last dragon and a disillusioned dragonslaying knight must cooperate to stop an evil king who was given partial immortality.
Brilliant!
An awesome adventure that lets you forget it’s fantasy – it’s as powerful & exciting as the dragons! Bowen (Dennis Quaid) is a knight of the Old Code of Camelot (needless to say, it’s good & honorable), & teaches it to his student, Prince Einon. But during a rebellion, cruel King Freyne is killed – & Einon is wounded badly. Bowen & Queen Aislinn (Julie Christie) visit a famous, wise dragon who donates 1/2 his heart to let Einon live, after his vow that he’ll be a merciful king, unlike his father. But after Einon heals, he enslaves the villagers to work for him, & scorns Bowen’s beliefs. Bowen is enraged at the dragon’s polluting his soul, & vows to hunt him down. 12 years later, he hasn’t found his prey but has made up for it by killing every he finds. Then he meets Draco (Sean Connery), the world’s last dragon, who’s determined to put up a fight. As an alternative to fighting a stalemate battle, Bowen agrees to ’slay’ Draco for $. Draco reveals dragons are gentle & don’t attack unless provoked. Meanwhile, Einon falls in love w/Kara, the girl who accidentally injured him, after he kills her father. Aislinn helps her escape, knowing what it’s like to be a tyrant’s wife. Kara is the 1 person in the village brave enough to fight Einon (Except Bowen, but he’s too bitter to bother w/him anymore), & when she meets Bowen & Draco, she persuades him to join her in a fight. Now, along with the village rebels & Brother Gilbert, a hilariously pinheaded monk, they set out to change their lives – though Draco has a secret about Einon that could cause the difference between winning & losing. The animation here is great – it seems real, just like the characters. It’s exciting & will keep you hooked till the end. I’d recommend it to an adventure-lover.

“Alone in the Dark” Plot Summary
Based on the video game, Alone in the Dark focuses on Edward Carnby, a detective of the paranormal, who slowly unravels a mysterious events with deadly results.
Brilliant casting
Tara Reid as an intellectual, Christian Slater(usually great) as a dollar store Constantine and Stephen Dorff as…well it’s STEPHEN DORFF FOR Christ SAKE!!!! I personally just want to thank those brilliant casting directors for the hard work and effort. You guys are on. Heres an idea, just my humble lowly opinion as the movie going public but it follows directly with your previous choices,a movie about the most brilliant neuro-physicist in history invent one pill to cure all diseases ever known to man and get this, heres the clincher they have to be played by Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton. I knew you guys would love that. Seriously though you owe me $7.50.

“LXG” Plot Summary
In an alternate Victorian Age world, a group of famous contemporary fantasy, SF and adventure characters team up on a secret mission.
Really Good Film
This is a really good film. I went to see it not knowing many of the details. I really enjoyed it. I believe that in order to appreciate this film, you need to have an open mind and not take it so literaly. I’ve read reviews of it in which the authors claim that not of the characters, or cars, or Nemos Sub, could work like they did. WELL DUH! It is a movie based on a comic book. It naturally wouldn’t be for real. I wonder what these people take us for. The other great thing about this movie is the characters. Some reviews stated that people wouldn’t understand this movie because the characters are not that new. That they’ve been around for a while and no one will remember them. The only two characters that I didn’t know were Allan Quatermain and Dorian Gray. But I would like to know more about them. So that in itself is good. It makes you want to know more about the characters. Bottom line… It is a really great film. Go see it with an open mind, and not take everything so literaly. You may find that you enjoy it. Don’t trust all the bad reviews. You should see for yourself. LXG is a really good film
