“101 Dalmatians” Plot Summary
When a litter of dalmatian puppies are abducted by the minions of Cruella De Vil, the parents must find them before she uses them for a diabolical fashion statement.
fun for the whole family
i really enjoyed this animated Disney classic.it’s just a lot of fun.lots of action and excitement,and an excellent choice for the villain in Cruella Devil.whose is iconic(or should be)in my opinion.very young children may be a bit frightened of her,as she certainly is scary looking.her 2 henchman are quite inept,and provide a lot of comic relief.i also really liked the voice acting.i thought it fit well with the characters.the animation is also good,considering it is from 1961,though i’m sure it took a few years before that to complete.anyway,in my opinion,this classic is good fun for the whole family.my vote for 101 Dalmatians is an 8/10

“Blood Work” Movie Review
“Blood Work” Plot Summary
Still recovering from a heart transplant, a retired FBI profiler returns to service when his own blood analysis offers clues to the identity of a serial killer. add synopsis
Good mystery
Eastwood was his usual self, (good). The mystery was good and kept you thinking for most of the movie. The kid was good. The only drawback, the usual old man with a young woman
It would have been much more satisfying and truthful if he had been an (adopted’ grandpa.

“Terms of Endearment” Movie Review
“Terms of Endearment” Plot Summary
Aurora and Emma are mother and daughter who march to different drummers. Beginning with Emma’s marriage… add synopsis
One of the best films of the 80’s!
I never watch soaps, am not one for chick flicks, and generally steer clear of weepies. I was only drawn to this by the eclectic cast, and a vague recollection of acclaim.’Terms of Endearment’ is a stunningly well-made film. Pretty much every scene is conceived, scripted and acted to perfection. Winger, MacLaine and Nicholson make these relationships pure gold. So much of the interaction feels natural, even improvised. A twist toward the end reveals a compelling new layer for each and every character
It’s largely forgotten these days, but in my opinion stands as one of the very best films of the 80’s. Cherish it.

“Speed” Movie Review
“Speed” Plot Summary
A young cop must save the passengers of a bus that has a bomb set to explode if the bus goes below 50 MPH. add synopsis
WOW. Thats It
Speed is a terrific thriller/action film that gives new meaning to the word ’suspense’. This and the fugitive are the only true thrilling movie of the past decade. Keanu Reeves, actually not that bad, plays a cop who is going after a mad-man (Dennis Hopper who is great as the 9-fingered terrorist) who has put a bomb on a bus which will explode if the bus goes under 50 mph. This wouldn’t be much of a problem, but in LA it is as much of a problem of pising off Hopper in this movie. The most action packed, thrilling movie I’ve seen in a while, maybe equal to the terminator. Favorite Line (after Hopper’s head get’s knocked off) Reeves- ‘Yeah, but I’m taller.’ Terrific entertainment. A+

“State of Play” Movie Review
“State of Play” Plot Summary
A team of investigative reporters work alongside a police detective to try to solve the murder of a congressman’s mistress.
Good Political Thriller
This movie is worth seeing just to watch great actors like Russell Crowe, Helen Mirren, & Rachel McAdams practice their craft. Add in a very good plot and a well written script and what you end up with is an excellent movie
I’d read that Brad Pitt was originally supposed to have the starring role of the veteran newspaper reporter played by Crowe but declined the role at the last minute due to artistic differences with the Director over the script. Not sure of the details, but the movie certainly didn’t suffer from Pitt’s absence. Crowe was great as the lead. Some critics carp over his funny ‘American’ accent, but I thought he was very good in the lead role
Rachel McAdams was very good as the cub reporter. I’m not sure if she’s the next Julia Roberts (as some opine) but she certainly is the ‘it’ girl and fills the bill nicely
Helen Mirren was excellent as the imperious publisher/editor of the newspaper
Ben Affleck was good as the politician at the center of the storm
As political thrillers go, this was pretty good. I’d say go check it out, grab a bucket of popcorn and soda, and enjoy.

“101 Dalmatians” Plot Summary
A woman kidnaps puppies to kill them for their fur, but various animals then gang up against her and get their revenge in slapstick fashion. add synopsis
Sweet, Family Friendly Movie
This movie, is a pretty good live action remake of the classic animated film. Some really veteran actors on the cast. Glenn Close is simply amazing as Cruella De Vil, not only scary (to kids) but also very funny. Hugh Laurie and Mark Williams are probably the two funniest characters on the cast, they are simply amazing. Jeff Daniels is funny in the beginning, with him going into the lake, but as the film goes on his character gets more serious. Same with Joely Richardson. Of course, and then there are the animals, who play the biggest roles. I can’t imagine the amount of training that had to be done with the animals for this film. They are just amazing in this film, and you see more then dogs in this movie
Overall, this is just a plain innocent family film. You will laugh your head off in some of the scenes. Very wonderful, a must see.

“The Informant!” Movie Review
“The Informant!” Plot Summary
The U.S. government decides to go after an agri-business giant with a price-fixing accusation, based on the evidence submitted by their star witness, vice president turned informant Mark Whitacre.
Wow! What a ride; lot’s of memories The Informant!
The beauty of the film is Matt Damon without question. Starring in so many action/dramas of late, it’s great to see him going the comedy route. The guy was in Kevin Smith films and hammed it up in the Ocean’s movies as well, but here he has center stage to show the kind of chops he has in the genre. With hair resembling a bad toupee and a pedophilic moustache, his Whitacre is mid-90s businessman elite, only with a conscience sort of. A lover of crime films and courtroom dramas, he begins to live his life as though he is in one himself. When describing what is going on to the FBI at one point, he breaks out with the line, ‘It’s like Rising Sun, the Crichton novel,’ or during a voice-over he begins to compare everything to The Firm. He sees that his company, a corn producer and therefore having its hands in pretty much every consumer product on the market, is criminally involved with competitors to fix prices and steal from their respective publics. Wanting to be the hero and save the dayhopefully with an endgame of being the only person left and in effect handed the companyhe decides to fabricate a story to get the FBI in his sights and then pounces, taking part in a two year sting operation to bring Archer Daniels Midland down
Soderbergh was live and in person at the TIFF screening I attended and, after being introduced as having been there twenty years previous with his debut feature, said, ‘(There’s) no sex, no videotapes, but enough lies to last another twenty years.’ And boy was he right. As the movie progresses, you not only become aware of the lies being told in the company, but also the information Whitacre himself is withholding from the FBI, then from his lawyers, and inevitably from everyone. By the end, you can’t help but wonder what exactly was the truththe whole thing is just one big lie. I would love to know what the real Whitacre thinks about this representation. Does he enjoy the exaggerated caricature? Does he hate it because the imbecilic nature at the core of Damon’s role hits too close to home? The activities portrayed are so off the wall and zany that I have to believe screenwriter Scott Z. Burns and Soderbergh just used the outline of fact and made it completely their own. My only complaint would be that it goes maybe ten to twenty minutes too long, finding a repetition that soon becomes obvious and lacking of the witty charm of the start
With a cast of familiar faces and even some comic greatsThe Smothers Brothersit is still Damon that shines above all. His delivery is priceless and his facial expressions genuinely childlike in their enthusiasm. The entire film has him playing this game, unaware of how deep he was getting in and unaware that his extracurricular activities, to be exposed towards the end, made him a hypocrite. As long as he is the center of attention, being the man in the white hat taking down the bad guys with his FBI cohorts in tow, nothing else matters. Speaking of the agents, how great is it seeing Scott Bakula sinking his teeth into a lengthy role again? His straightman to Damon’s goof could not be played more perfectly. And then you get Joel McHale of ‘The Soup’ fame to play the most serious government agent in the world? It’s just Soderbergh having fun with preconceptions, actually casting many comics in serious roles while Jason Bourne himself schlubs around with a permanent cheesy smile plastered on his face
What transpires is funny enough, if just due to the fact a huge criminal investigation is occurring with a moron at its center, risking exposure every second. So excited that he is starring in his own version of all the sitcom television and pulp Hollywood movies he enjoys, the wonderment of having his own tape recorder hidden in his briefcase necessitates him to show someone how cool it is. He is 0014 after all, twice as smart as 007. But what works even better than the actual story is his mind itself. The epitome of Attention Deficit Disorder, Mark Whitacre loses his train of thought on a regular basis. At first you think you may be missing something as a character responds to a question and Damon’s voice-over drowns it out. While important information is being relayed, all we hear are the ramblings of a crazy man, the most mundane things popping into his head as he smiles and nods. Some of these one-liners are so great you almost watch what’s happening to get to the next tangent his brain wanders off towards
So, whether or not the film itself is an accurate portrayal of the subject matter it’s based on is a moot point. The real subject becomes finding out what will happen to Whitacre when the dust settles. Naive to the core, we all know he is due a wakeup call at some point, even if his FBI handlers think he is the bravest man in America doing it all because he has a wife and kids and a sense of moral responsibility. If only they knew he just did it for the rush of excitement and because he couldn’t think past step number one. Why comprehend that unearthing all the wheelings and dealings of a company he held a high position with could cost him his career when you can just enjoy the present and have fun living a duplicitous life? Do not feel sorry for him and do not question his motiveshe really doesn’t have any. Just take a seat and be ready to laugh hard.
