“The General’s Daughter” Plot Summary
When the daughter of a well-known and well-respected base commander is murdered, an undercover detective is summoned to look into the matter and finds a slew of cover-ups at West Point. add synopsis
Better Than Excellent
I grew up in a military family and the first time I watched this film, it was more like a documentary to me than anything. I probably missed half this film in tears the first time I watched it. I’ve watched it now almost 50 times and it never looses it’s luster. Each actor/actress was chosen perfectly for their part…..what a movie, it says everything even on ‘mute’.

“Max Payne” Plot Summary

liked the game, loved the movie
I went into Max Payne thinking I was in for another disappointment when it comes to video games being brought to the big screen, I was wrong. I’ve played the game and I thought it was okay. It seemed more like the Matrix games than anything original, but I digress. I was wowed by the film in the way they actually made it a story and make you actually care for the main character. That hasn’t happened for me since the first Mortal Kombat film, but then the second one sucked so bad I almost cried
The only reason I didn’t rate this higher is that the film takes at least 20 mins to really get going, but after that it sucks you right in. I loved the whole soldiers taking a liquid drug to make them feel invincible to the whoever they were at war with, which sometimes feels like that could be coming around the corner any day now. When the head bad guy starts acting like he’s some kind of god from the drugs I started thinking ‘Can’t wait till Payne kicks his Ass!’ As a story, I think it is a clever mystery story including fabled occult beliefs from the Norse mythology and when Max starts seeing them after taking the drug to get to the bad guys is pretty friggin’ sweet. I felt the film ended as good as any film noir could end after the resolution of the characters. I can’t wait to buy it on DVD and watch it again. That’s all I have for now. See ya next time.

Don’t listen to the bad reviews
Kevin James and Adam Sandler are hilarious in ‘I Now Pronoce You Chuck And Larry.’But where are all of the bad reviews coming from?And why was this movie nominated for so many Razzie awards?In case you don’t know,a Razzie is an award given to a movie for being bad or having a bad concept,such as worst actor or worst picture
But why this movie?This is a funny,funny,and like I said,funny movie
Okay,so maybe the movie offends many types of people,including gays,fat people,Asians,and so on
But that’s one of the reasons why this movie is so dang funny

Life enhancing
If you are reading this review (or indeed any other) trying to assess whether or not you should watch this film then please read no further and just go and slip in the DVD and let the sights and sounds of Middle Earth wash over you. Nothing I, or indeed anyone else, can say should help you to form an opinion prior to watching. I guess the audience for the three films fall into two categories; those who have read the books and those who have not. Those who have not, in my experience, tend to be overwhelmed by the absolute majesty of the vision but a little non-plussed by the actual story – seeing it as just some rather dopey fantasy; a Star Wars trilogy set in past times for the modern audience if you like. Then there is the ‘yes, I have read the books’ class who in general seem to have a kind of smug arrogance grounded in comments such as ‘they left out too much’, ‘its not what I imagined’ or ‘Of course its all an allegory for the rise of the third Reich’. Tolkein bemoaned the lack of an heroic mythology for the English people and he sought to create one in his Rings trilogy of books. My opinion is too humble to count – but if you want it, I believe he succeeded. The epic backdrop, the heroes and villains, the rich history, the races and the languages are all utterly plausible as a long cherished story handed down over many generations. Peter Jackson and his team must be congratulated not only for their wonderful realisation of Middle Eath and its inhabitants; but for crafting a series a movies that captured the very essence of what Tolkein was trying to achieve. Well done also for leaving out Tom Bombadil.

Better than expected…
I was surprised by this movie. Going in, I was sure this would be a movie designed solely to push the issues of women’s rights and equality of the sexes. Instead, the movie squarely, but fairly, demonstrated the undeniable differences between men and women. Demi Moore was outstanding in this film – in my opinion it was her best role yet. The movie was provocative and exciting. Definitely not a disappointment at all, but a movie the squeamish may want to avoid. There are some mildly graphic scenes. There are also some unforgettable lines!

“Lady in the Water” Movie Review
“Lady in the Water” Plot Summary
Apartment building superintendent Cleveland Heep rescues what he thinks is a young woman from the pool he maintains. When he discovers that she is actually a character from a bedtime story who is trying to make the journey back to her home, he works with his tenants to protect his new friend from the creatures that are determined to keep her in our world.
Imagination = GOOD!
Lady in the Water brings M Night back to the American pop culture spotlight, where he belongs! It is so refreshing to see so much imagination back into the theatres! Lady in the Water is so different from any other movie choice out today and I think it is bold and creative of M Knight to bring his creativity to the big screen. Also, the concept of the entire movie taking place in one apartment complex is brilliant. Many different types of people are brought together by the ‘Cove’ and of course by the mystical Lady. Paul Giamatti can add another classic into his resume as he works his way into being one of the best present day screen actors. The other characters of the movie are very entertaining, especially the Asian mother daughter duo who understand the legend of the Lady better than anyone. Get ready for a major burst of imagination when you go to see Lady in the Water! Thinking about the movie afterwards will only make you love it even more…

“The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans” Plot Summary
Terence McDonagh is a drug- and gambling-addled detective in post-Katrina New Orleans investigating the killing of five Senegalese immigrants. add synopsis
Wonderful movie
I finally got to see this a few days ago after waiting quite a while. Being a big fan of Nic Cage, and being frustrated by his recent work, I pretty much had to make the 40 minute drive to see his first movie in a few years that had been getting mostly positive reviews
It was absolutely worth it. Port of Call is hilarious from start to finish, there was never a dull moment. Nic Cage is incredibly entertaining as the drug-addled ‘bad’ lieutenant Terence McDonagh. It was a ton of fun watching him go completely crazy on-screen, wondering what he would do next. Eva Mendes puts in a great performance as Cage’s prostitute girlfriend (again?). Val Kilmer is good too but unfortunately he’s only in a few scenes. I was a little worried after seeing Xzibit in the cast list but he plays his role well
One important thing to remember about this film is that it is absolutely not intended to be taken seriously. Unlike Ferrara’s film, which was extremely gritty and dead-serious, Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant is a very black comedy. To go into this film expecting a cop drama with a dramatic performance by Cage is a recipe for disaster
Which reminds me, don’t go into this expecting anything that resembles Ferrara’s 1992 ‘Bad Lieutenant’. The two have nothing in common other than the premise of a drug-addicted corrupt cop. ‘Port of Call’ actually wasn’t intended to be a remake, adding ‘Bad Lieutenant’ to the title was a commercial decision (why, I don’t know, Bad Lieutenant is relatively obscure).
If you’re lucky enough to have a theater nearby playing this, go see it right now. ‘Port of Call’ is a massive comeback for Nic Cage and I seriously believe he deserves to at least be nominated for an Academy Award
Just leave your 4th year film student friend home.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” Movie Review
“The Return of the King” Plot Summary
The former Fellowship of the Ring prepare for the final battle for Middle Earth, while Frodo & Sam approach Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring.
The greatest epic ever made
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is, hands down, among the most spectacular and magnificent films of all time
A short run-down of the plot: After the battle of Helm’s Deep and Saruman’s imprisonment in his tower Orthanc, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf re-group with Merry and Pippin in Isengard. There they learn that the army of Sauron is planning a full-scale attack on the largest city of men – Minas Tirith in Gondor. Gandalf and Pippin ride to Minas Tirith to warn Denethor, the steward of Gondor, of the threat from Mordor. Defenses are built up as the army of Sauron marches across the Pelennor Fields towards Minas Tirith. A distress call is sent to Rohan, still recovering from Helm’s Deep. Rohan manage to muster a large army, and set out for Minas Tirith, but the battle has already begun. In the meantime, we continue with Sam and Frodo on their quest to destroy the One Ring
A major achievement of this epic film is the character development. Gollum becomes more cunning and sneaky than ever, and manages to turn Frodo against Sam, who is desperately trying his best to get his old Frodo back. Merry and Pippin are no longer just a source of comic relief, both of them prove themselves worthy as they are split up for the final battle. We learn about the true bravery and potential of hobbits as Merry helps cut down the Witch King. Eowyn also proves herself in the film, as she defies her uncle and sets out to Pelennor fields with the other Rohirrim, and eventually destroys the Witch King, and makes a very feminist remark while doing so. We learn to loathe Denethor because of his hatred of his last remaining son, Faramir, who really hasn’t done anything wrong. The peak of our hatred for Denethor is reached in the scene where he tells Faramir that he would have preferred it if he had died instead of Boromir, his brother. And then, right after that, Denethor sends Faramir into certain suicide, and Faramir immediately accepts the mission he is appointed to, in a final attempt to please his father. And of course, Aragorn learns to accept his fate as the true king of men
In fact, the character development is so powerful that we actually participate in the character’s feelings. We FEEL Frodo’s exhaustion and agony as he literally drags himself across Mordor. We feel Sam’s pain as Frodo is turned against him. And, just briefly, we participate in Gollum’s triumph as he finally gets the One Ring. We are actually happy for Gollum and just for a brief moment, Frodo becomes the bad guy as he tries to take the ring back. All in all, Return of the King contains the most moving, emotional and touching scenes in the entire trilogy, and some of the best acting, especially from Sean Astin (Sam), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Ian McKellen (Gandalf), John Noble (Denethor, he is very successful in adding depth to his character), Miranda Otto (Eowyn), and of course, Andy Serkis (Smeagol, and top-notch at it, just like in The Two Towers).
The battle of Pelennor fields may be THE most spectacular and epic sequence in film history. Unlike Helm’s Deep, Pelennor Fields shows the true cleverness of Sauron’s army. Orcs are not the only participants; trolls are heavily used in the battle, as warriors and as beasts of burden. The nazgul are very significant in the battle, and while the Witch King didn’t actually lead the battle as he did in the book, the nine ringwraiths and their fell beasts still play a key part and do lots of damage in the battle. We see just how powerful the nazgul really are. And of course, the men from the south and their massive oliphaunts play a significant part. While in Helm’s Deep we felt triumphant, in Pelennor fields we only feel the triumph briefly, as the Rohirrim make their charge into the horde of orcs and trolls. The triumph in Pelennor Fields almost immediately dissolves, as the Rohirrim are trampled down by the oliphaunts. The battle is won, but we’re not happy, we’re grieved for all the destruction, all the losses. It’s a totally different feeling than Helm’s Deep, and makes this battle all the more superior
Return of the King features the most magnificent visuals in the entire trilogy. Whether they are of Minas Tirith, Pelennor Fields and Osgiliath, Mordor and the slopes of Mt. Doom or the climb to Shelob’s cave near Minas Morgul, Peter Jackson really shows us the true impact of these landscapes and images
Many people may complain about the changes in the movie, especially the significant cut of Saruman from the end, but you must realize that if they would have featured the whole part with Saruman the movie would have continued another hour and a half. Don’t fret; Peter Jackson said the scenes will all appear in the extended version of the film. The ending is long enough as it is, and the film continues at least another half an hour after the Ring is no more. The hobbits return to the shire, and Sam marries Rosie. Aragorn meets his fate and is crowned king, and is finally reunited with Arwen. And of course, one of the most moving scenes in the movie, in which Frodo gets on the last ship to the Undying lands with Bilbo, Gandalf, and the last of the elves (Galadriel and Elrond to name a few), and must part with his three hobbit friends for good
All in all, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is one the most fine-tuned, cinematically perfect films ever made, it’s absolutely flawless in every aspect. The Lord of the Rings trilogy as a whole is a spectacular achievement in film making history, and all three movies are together, without a doubt, the greatest epic ever made.
