“Scrooged” Movie Review

“Scrooged” Plot Summary

A cynically selfish TV executive gets haunted by three spirits bearing lessons on Christmas Eve. add synopsis

A very enjoyable film

This movie is fantastic. Although the supporting cast is great, every single other actor is completely out shined by Murrays brilliance. To me it’s kind of a shame that he’s been recognized mostly for his work with Wes Anderson. Although he brings a certain flavour to all of the Wes films you never quite find yourself begging for more Bill as you would after this picture, or What about bob. This movie made me think about all of the roles Murray either should have been cast as, or roles he should have taken. I couldn’t help but think that he may have made a better American Psycho than Christian Bale, and I’m a huge Bale/Bateman fan. Bottom line, the humour is anything but cheesy, and you may find yourself laughing at your TV with no one around because Bill is genuinely funny in this role

Approved!

    hong kong movies rock!

    first of all understand what you are going to see: a ‘hong kong’ movie.if you don’t keep that in mind, you will not like it and criticize it or even worse compare it to a Hollywood made movie like saving private ryan. it’s like going to the MOMA and trying comparing an impressionist and a cubist.and as a ‘hong kong’ movie, it’s great. just great.the characters are painted black and white. the war scenes are exaggerated and truculent. and in this crazy scenario the path to redemption of men from different places and different races and cultures that must join their resources to survive.again, to be seen, as long as you understand what you’re watching.

    “Saving Private Ryan” Plot Summary

    Following the Normandy Landings, a group of US soldiers go behind enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.

    Spielberg is God

    Even thinking about this film gives me the chills , well,like practically everything Mr. Spielberg has done in his career , lifting the American movie into the cinematic heaven . Hopefully , many movies are still ahead of him , the greatest artist ever, no doubt !There is nothing new to say about Saving Private Ryan , after so many years , except that perhaps it ought to become the must study subject for anyone interested in military history or history as such , because ,friend,

    it cannot go any gorier than this , that is, any more realistic than this ( watch Rambo 4 , When Trumpets Fade , Windtalkers ). Saving P.R. has somehow created a new genre of films , that is ultra-realistic war movie that transcends anything solely written, in fact , as has always been the case with Mr. Spielberg, literature gets its visual manifestation, where even Shakespeare would pipe down and bow in reverence ! Even 10 is not enough , simply no numerical quality, unit , exists to describe the sheer power of this cinematic experience , not even the designation ‘film ‘itself can do this ! Angelic, stratospheric , out of this dimension , Mona Lisa in cinema !

    “Fargo” Movie Review

    “Fargo” Plot Summary

    Jerry Lundegaard’s inept crime falls apart due to his and his henchmen’s bungling and the persistent police work of pregnant Marge Gunderson.

    Excellent Film

    Fargo is one of my favorite films of all time and in my opinion deserves to be in the top 10 films of the 90’s. From the onset of the movie, with views of the snow covered North Dakota landscape and the beautiful and haunting music of composer Carter Burwell playing in the background until the very last scene, Fargo never lets up. This film is Joel and Ethan Cohen’s masterpiece, a truly original and one of a kind work. Every aspect of the film is handled with the utmost precision and care. The screenplay, written by Joel and Ethan, is in my opinion flawless. The dialog is at times serious and at other times hilarious, but most importantly always real and believable. The screenplay would be worth nothing, however, without the superb cast of the film that truly makes the characters come to life. Frances McDormand is perfect as the pregnant sheriff who is assigned to the murder case involving Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare. Steve Buscemi is excellent as always, playing a sleazy kidnapper who is perfectly described in one of the best lines of the film as simply ‘funny looking – in a general kind of way’. The best performance, however, comes from William H. Macy who is absolutely brilliant as a desperate man who has everything to lose. Macy completely envelops himself in the role and captures perfectly the essence of a broken man whose world is crumbling all around him. The final scene in the motel when he is caught is incredibly powerful because Macy makes you feel the pain and sorrow that a man must feel when he knows that he’s going to prison for the rest of his life

    One of the things that I loved about this film is the colorful characters that are a trademark of every Cohen brothers film. In Fargo, these characters include dim witted hookers, psychopath kidnappers, a very pregnant sheriff, and a lot of snow. No matter how long or brief these characters are on the screen, however, they are all incredibly entertaining and fun to watch. That is one of the reasons that I enjoy films by the Cohen brothers. They have a great style and sense of humor that is all their own. They aren’t afraid to be different from the Hollywood norm, and they make films on their own terms. Also, as evidenced by this film, they do a great job of getting the best out of every actor. I personally feel that William Macy and Frances McDormand have never been better before or since Fargo. I urge everyone to see this film and compare it to other great works of the last decade. I think you’ll find that its place is right near the likes of Pulp Fiction, L.A. Confidential, The Usual Suspects and other great 90’s films.

    “8MM” Movie Review

    “8 Millimeter” Plot Summary

    A private investigator is hired to discover if a “snuff film” is authentic or not.

    One of best movies I have seen

    8MM is one of best movies I have seen. Nicolas Cage plays his role very good, which I expected having seen ‘Lord or War ‘recently. The plot is interesting and so are the dialogs between characters. There are quite a few tense moments in the movie which is probably why I liked this movie that much

    Again trough it is only a movie as someone may say it shows you a bit of the reality out there- the one which people don’t want to admit that it exists. The movie is basically a mystery with some action elements. My opinion is that its rating on IMDb should be much higher but well I guess not everyone likes movies like this one trough I wonder why since there are many other movies that are much harder to watch than this one

    One of the best things about 8 MM is its soundtrack honestly it is rare to find such a carefully chosen music to go with the scenes.

    “Across the Universe” Plot Summary

    The music of the Beatles and the Vietnam War form the backdrop for the romance between an upper-class American girl and a poor Liverpudlian artist.

    excellent and artistic film

    This film is extraordinary. It is extremely artistic, thought provoking, and has substance. It may not be for everyone. If you have no sense of over laying, or collage, or recognizing parallel stories from history repeating themselves, you may not connect with it. But I found this film to be over the top creative and entertaining. Since I grew up in the 60’s, and I appreciate the music of the Beatles, there was a personal connection to all of it. A lot of fun yet deep emotions were brought to the surface. I know a creative mind when I see one and Taymor and her collaborators are a ‘10′ in this regard. I will see it again.

    “Dead Poets Society” Movie Review

    “Dead Poets Society” Plot Summary

    English professor John Keating inspires his students to a love of poetry and to seize the day.

    one of the most amazing and uplifting movie experiences that I had ever had

    Dead Poets Society is hands down one of the most powerful and upfliting movies that I have seen-and trust me I have seen many powerful movies. This is one of Robin Williams finest performances-I do believe he should have been at least nominated for best actor and either the guy who plays Neil or Ethan Hawk should have been nominated for best supporting actor

    The frindships that are forged in the school are genuine and believable and the people are those that you can relate to. I myself can relate to Todd, shy and a bit insecure of who he is. John Keating-played by Robin Williams-is a teacher who believes in more then just teaching about whats in the books, he believes in teaching about *life* and seazing the day. This movie shows how important it is to live each day to your fullest and to follow your dreams. I have seen many powerful films, and Dead Poets Society is one of the most powerful films I have ever seen. It captures the essance of what a film should to do a person. It shows a different view of life and makes you question things. It brings tears in your eyes as well as laughter. Even though I get emotional during films very rarly do I cry in them, but I did cry during the end of the movie with what happened to Neil and Keating. The ending to this day had a powerful effect on me and not many movies has an effect on you to the point where you get emotional and uplifted just thinking about the movie. It is a movie where you would watch many times and each time find something new with it. It is by far one of the most amazing and uplifting movie experiences that I have ever had.

    “Clerks” Movie Review

    “cLeRKs” Plot Summary

    A calamity at Dante and Randall’s shops sends them looking for new horizons – but they ultimately settle at Mooby’s, a fictional Disney-McDonald’s-style fast-food empire.

    Romantic Love

    In New Jersey, when Dante (Brian O’Halloran) arrives to open the convenience store ‘Quick Stop Groceries’ for another labor day, he finds the place on fire. The losers Dante and his friend Randal (Jeff Anderson) find another job position in the fast food restaurant Mooby’s, managed by Becky (Rosario Dawson), and working with the Christian employee Elias (Trevor Fehrman). The new and improved potheads and drug dealers Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) also move their traffic spot to the new location. Dante is planning a new life in Florida getting married with his fiancee Emma (Jennifer Schwalbach) while his friend Becky is a woman that does not believe in romantic love. On the eve of Dante’s departure to Florida, Randal decides to promote a farewell and bachelor party to his best friend, and he invites Kelly and the Sexy Stud (Zak Knutson) from Tijuana to heat the celebration. However, things go wrong and Dante rethinks his future.’Clerks II’ is a hilarious sequel of the cult ‘Clerks’ that was the debut of Kevin Smith. The story follows the usual politically incorrect style of this director, with racist and sexist jokes blended with drugs, gross situations and a romance. However, what else can a viewer expect from a Kevin Smith’s movie? Rosario Dawson is extremely charming in the role of Becky, and the witty lines with double sense meanings are very funny. The conventional conclusion fits well to the story. My vote is seven

    Title (Brazil): ‘O Balconista 2′ (‘The Clerk 2′)

    Ex-con Jensen Ames is forced by the warden of a notorious prison to compete in our post-industrial world’s most popular sport: a car race in which inmates must brutalize and kill one another on the road to victory.

    An amazing movie

    Before watching this movie, I’ve never heard of it. I watched this title because it was a spur of the moment kind of thing. I had no idea what this movie was going to be about, and no idea what genre it is. This movie was action packed, thrilling, amazing in every shot. Every scene and every shot is purposeful and totally meant to be there. The cinematography is flawless. The only flaw is that it was too good. It seems like a movie that seems worth watching again, but when you do watch it again, it seems kind of repetitive, kind of like transformers. It seems like it would be a good movie to watch if you’re going to reminisce.

    I Blame My Youth

    I grew up in the 80’s. I look back at that time with great memories. From the clothes to the cars to the music and movies, my life was pretty decent back then

    I sometimes like to ‘relive’ my youth and watch some movies that I remember liking as a youngster. Some of the movies still hold up as being great movies…Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Star Wars, Die Hard to name a few. Others are not so great…Crocodile Dundee, Mannequin and Gremlins fit into this category. The concept of this film is fairly great, and I give thumbs up to Chris Columbus for writing a decent script…well, half a script

    The first half of this movie isn’t too annoying, but when the Gremlins start their wicked ways, I feel like I’m watching an overblown SNL skit. The amount of juvenile humor is just plain annoying. This is one of those movies that was well talked about back in 1984, but cannot stand the test of time

    The highlight of this movie for me this time around was seeing the Back to the Future set being used. Granted, Gremlins came out first, but the clock tower will forever be known for Back to the Future.
