Thieves plan to pull off the heist of their lives by creating Los Angeles’ largest ever traffic jam. add synopsis
FAST PACED EXCITING MOVIE
I went to see THE ITALIAN JOB with mixed reviews in my head. I was pleasantly surprised with an entertaining close to 2 hours. I thought the cast was just great and so were the special effects, with the safe and truck just dropping out of sight. If you like fast paced action movies, this is the one to see.

“Straw Dogs” Movie Review
“Straw Dogs” Plot Summary
A young American and his English wife come to rural England and face increasingly vicious local harassment.
First rate thriller.
Peckinpah’s post- ‘Wild Bunch’ movies were a mixed bag. Frequently battling studios, censors and/or his own demons, some are genuine classics (‘..Alfredo Garcia’), some are entertaining potboilers (‘The Getaway’), and some like ‘Straw Dogs’ are in between. I could never argue that this movie is his best work, but it is far from his worst, and whatever you can say about his movies, they are ALWAYS interesting.’Straw Dogs’ is the closest he came to making a genre horror/thriller movie. If you enjoy ‘Rio Bravo’-inspired siege movies such as Romero’s ‘Night Of The Living Dead’ or Carpenter’s ‘Assault On Precinct 13′, check this one out. But it is more than ‘just’ a thriller – it features strong character development, and morally ambiguous situations among the tense build up to the explosive climax. In these P.C. times ‘Straw Dogs’ offers no simple answers, but plenty of issues for discussion, and it is to be commended for that. ‘Right’ or ‘wrong’? YOU decide!

“Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” Movie Review
“HP and the Chamber of Secrets” Plot Summary
Harry ignores warnings not to return to Hogwarts, only to find the school plagued by a series of mysterious attacks and a strange voice haunting him.
Worth the price of admission.
Warning to those who are avid fans of J.K. Rowling–I LOATHE the Harry Potter books. Yes, I have read them. I find her writing to be more than a little plagiaristic of the style of C.S. Lewis, but without the skill that he employed. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed both this and the first movie. Frankly, I don’t care if the scriptwriters left this bit or that bit out; it is simply impossible for all parts of any novel to be completely included in a film without turning it into an epic of a minimum of seven hours, which is ridiculous. That is the nature of a film; much over two-and-a-half hours and the theatres are only going to be able to show a limited number of screenings, which will, of necessity, limit the profit to be made on the film–and the bottom line of any film project is ‘How much of a profit will it make?’. (And, of course, how many people are going to be able to sit through it without multiple bathroom breaks? I had to run out myself once, cursing, just when they were about to ‘follow the spiders’…)I found the casting to be clever and appropriate; of special note is, of course, the late Richard Harris as Dumbledore (and I wonder if they will make the obvious choice to replace him in the next movie with Max von Sydow, who could be made to look and sound exactly the same?) as well as the return of Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman. Both of these actors can actually act, as opposed to simply being screen personalities. The visual effects are stunning, although just a little too obviously digital in more than a few cases. The story is easily followed, which is more than I could say for the original books. The pacing was almost perfect; I only looked at my watch twice–my measure for a movie in which I am immersed. Both times occurred, I might add, when I was distracted by Rupert Grint’s voice obviously cracking–they’re going to have to do something about the fact that their stars are definitely more than a few miles down the road of adolescence
This movie, of course, is raking in the cash. Deservedly so; it’s not by any stretch of the imagination a movie of any deep and lasting meaning, but it gives good value for one’s entertainment dollar, and at the scandalous prices that movie admissions are reaching now, that is certainly a ringing endorsement. It was able to take me away from the insanity of a stressful holiday season, and for that reason alone I was completely satisfied. See if it can do the same for you.

“The Mist” Movie Review
“The Mist” Plot Summary
A freak storm unleashes a species of blood-thirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole-up in a supermarket and fight for their lives.
A great horror movie and a great deal more!
Most modern horror movie are simply ((insert expletive here)) these days. They either end up as a PG13 (ooh, scary!) or they end up with the hero winking into the camera and riding off into the sunset
The Mist does none of this. It is scary, violent and follows through to a logical, hardcore horror ending. The last horror film this good was 28 Days Later (kinda) or the Dawn of the Dead redo (for sure).
I don’t need spoilers to get across that if you’re a horror fan and you want to see a good kick ass R rated horror flick, you’ve come to the right place. Hell, even my wife thought it kicked ass and she’s a stickler for logic in movies
Just make sure you’re not sitting next to any plate glass windows and you’ll be fine! Oh, and if you read original novella, like I did, you’ll also be pleasantly surprised because THIS movie is true to the story it came from
Well done Frank Darabont for directing a great Stephen King adaptation … how about doing The Stand next?

“Pride and Glory” Movie Review
“Pride and Glory” Plot Summary
A saga centered on a multi-generational family of New York City Police officers. The family’s moral codes are tested when Ray Tierney, investigates a case that reveals an incendiary police corruption scandal involving his own brother-in-law. For Ray, the truth is revelatory, a Pandora’s Box that threatens to upend not only the Tierney legacy but the entire NYPD.
Acting movie
This movie lives of it’s actors. The Casting is fabulous and everyone is playing as good as they can. Some might feel that the story is too weak and let’s the performances down. I’ll admit that the story isn’t the strongest and gets even confusing/convoluted at one point or another! I like crime movies and the title stands for things I do believe many people can connect with. As humans (be it cops, teachers, advisers or anything else) we do have to make choices, that affect not only us, but many other people too. Doing things, because everyone else does them too, isn’t really an excuse, but unfortunately a behavior like that, is more common and therefor close to reality and depicted pretty good in this movie. I liked the movie, despite a few flaws, story bumps and it’s predictability.
