    “Secret Window” Plot Summary

    A writer is accused for plagiarism by a strange man, who then starts haunting him for “justice.”

    i love this movie!

    i love this movie, its great for the simple fact that Stephen king wrote the basic story line . the movie is pretty close cut from the book with a few exceptions like in the book he drinks Pepsi and in the movie he drinks mountain dew(or maby its the other way around) but other then a few things like that its pretty true to the masterpiece that is any Stephen king work, if u liked movies like psycho and identity u will love secret window because of the mind boggling psychological turn of all rational thought into a twilight zone that can only be described as the human mind when at its best and most vulnerable state.the fact that king opens eyes to the part of the brain that is only slightly touched in movies like red dragon(also awesome). definitely watch this movie if u like psychology related horror!

    “Mad Max” Movie Review

    “Mad Max” Plot Summary

    In a dystopic future Australia, a vicious biker gang murder a cop’s family and make his fight with them personal.

    Low budget classic that is now a genre landmark.

    Set somewhere in the future we are privy to a world where the roads are ruled by maniac gangs with souped up cars, and bikers that literally could come from hell. Trying to stop these marauding loons are the overstretched police force who themselves ride in exceptionally fast cars. At the front of this story is Max Rockatansky, a good honest cop trying to hold his own against the chaotic world that is forming around him. After his best friend is burned and left for dead he decides enough is enough and thinks about retiring from the service, but whilst on a vacation with his wife and child things go decidedly bad and Max becomes an avenging force of fury with devastating affect

    When evaluating this film I feel it really needs to be put into perspective just how brilliant a job director George Miller did with next to no cash to work with, in fact Miller edited the film in his own bedroom just to emphasise the low-fi nature of the beast. The costumes are excellent, the cast are terrific, with Mel Gibson as Max particularly impressive, and here we have villains to truly fit the word villainous, but it’s the stunts and chase sequences that makes this film a rich rewarding experience. The opening ten minutes alone are pure adrenalin pumping genius, but the film as a whole delivers a crash bang wallop punch that has often been imitated since its release, but rarely bettered, and although the heart of the film is a simple revenge story, it grabs your attention and delivers right to the corking finale, 8/10.

    Footnote: Region 2 Users should note that the bargain bucket Mad Max Trilogy flip pack set still contains the foolishly dubbed version of this film, incredibly stupid move from the American distributors.

    “The Contract” Plot Summary

    Ray Keene, a father who wants to redeem himself in the eyes of his son, is trying to bring Carden, a world-class assassin to justice… add synopsis

    Entertaining

    When I saw the rating of this movie of 5.6 stars I thought that this had to be a very bad and boring film to have such a rate despite having very good actors (Freeman and Cusack), but after watching it I liked this film which I found entertaining

    This movie gets what it tries to achieves which is just being a 96 minutes entertaining action film nothing else. I liked the performances specially the one of Morgan Freeman who looks so cool like the killer Carden, and I liked the comments of his character too, John Cusack is very good as the nice man who cares a lot about his son

    Ray and his son go camping to the forest but their plan changes when they find the injured killer Carden over there, and they will have to take him to the police despite Cardens friends are looking for him …7 stars = good

    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

    The Diva Cult

    This is one of my Favorite Films of All Time . It contains all the elements necessary to keep me coming back time after time . The look of the film is extraordinary . Every scene is stunning . And then there’s the futuristic element . I love all things Sci – Fi . Humor comes next . This film is damn funny . And it never gets stale . Chris Tucker is a scream as Ruby Rhod . His manic , over the top persona made him an instant star if he wasn’t already .

    The enigmatic Diva . She who has launched 1000 web sites . We want to know everything about her . Who is she in real life ? Where can you get that wonderful song ? She’s nothing less than thrilling . Thankfully there’s a new DVD of The Fifth Element that explains many aspects of the Diva as well as the rest of the movie . I highly recommend it .

    But there’s one thing that’s missing . Not a complaint exactly . Maybe I really don’t want to know . So if you know don’t tell me . What in the world is with the Chocolate Syrup that drips down your face when you come in contact with the Super Evil force ? That is weird squared . So enjoy The Fifth Element and Bosco for everyone !

    Good Movie

    I went into this thinking it wouldn’t be that good, but I found it very enjoyable.

    This is a very good ‘Turn your brain off and relax’ action movie.

    For some reason, I actually enjoyed this one more than the first one.

    It does start off a little slow, and some of the characters are a little stereotypical, but it has an interesting premise, an interesting story, very good action sequences, and some great performances by most of the actors in the film.

    You can tell everyone was trying hard to make a fun, interesting film, and it shows.

    9/10. I recommend this to anyone who just wants to relax for about 2 hours and watch an entertaining action movie. It is a little slow for about a half an hour, but I don’t feel it makes it any less enjoyable. You don’t have to think about it, you can just relax and enjoy the ride.

    “The Frighteners” Plot Summary

    After a car accident in which his wife, Debra, was killed and he was injured, Frank Bannister develops psychic abilities allowing him to see…

    Enjoyable

    I’m always up for a good ghost story, and this i found worth the time and effort of watching

    Mike Fox was very good. One of his best performances, i thought. A good solid adult role playing a shuckster making not-your-normal living. The character definitely had one of the stranger ways of paying-the-bills in moviedom

    And Combs was a hoot and a half. Think Dr. Herbert West if the wacky doctor had gone into law enforcement instead of reanimating bodies

    Busey did a very nice job of being the homicidal maniac. He left no doubt that his character was a total nutcase

    Usually i’m not so impressed by movies being shot in New Zealand as for some reason, tackiness is sometimes an unintended result. But for this movie, the New Zealand location worked very well

    I liked the art design on the movie case. It fit the movie to a tee

    Actually worth watching? Sure. It’s a good story told with good production values and good performances by the actors. It’s one of my favorites and i have my own personal copy which i pull out and have fun re-watching every once in a while.

    “The Tournament” Movie Review

    “The Tournament” Plot Summary

    Every seven years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 30 of the world’s deadliest assassins…

    Very Entertaining

    The Tournament is not a serious film, let me just get that out of the way. It comes off as serious, sometimes, but it’s always laughable. What this film is, is seriously entertaining. It’s surprisingly brutal, with some messy, blood dripping kills and far more human bodies exploding that you would believe. But the films is far from serious

    What we get is a story about the thirty greatest assassins hunting each other down in a tournament for money. That’s about it. There’s something in there about revenge, betrayal, blah blah blah. Who cares really, right? Honestly, if you’re looking for some kind of emotional story, you’ve come to the wrong place. The plot conveys the always fun killers in a killing tournament type story, which you can find sprinkles of Smoking Aces, Battle Royale, and The Comdemned in. What the film does do right, most of all, is not hold back. There is gore galore here, with decapitations, bullet wounds, people exploding, and lots of fingers flying off

    The films is seriously flawed, yes. Ving Rhames is laughable as he cries through most of the film. He’s made to be a total bad ass, but only delivers half the time. It’s especially hard to believe when you have a whole lot of bad asses running around who could easily take out Rhames. Most notable of these bad asses are Kelly Hu, in what could easily be called the lead role, who once again displays her talent for kicking ass. We also have Sebastien Foucan, a parkour wielding bad ass who has one of the best action scenes in the film, and Scott Adkins, whose brief appearance leaves a lasting impression as one of the best one on one battles in the film. Overall, this is just a film of a bunch of bad ass people kicking each others…well, you get the point

    I’m not going to say this is a good film. I will say it’s well directed and well filmed. Fights were actually enjoyable, as the director wisely chose to avoid the all too commonly used shaky cam and close ups. The script is paper thin, yes, and the acting leaves a great deal to be desired. But once again, this is a film about bad asses being bad asses. Kicking said ass and taking names. So forget about all the Oscar worthy stuff. Just sit back and enjoy some, well, ass getting kicked. Cause it’s a hell of a ride.

    this movie has the best pace of any movie i have ever seen.

    i was literally on the edge of my seat watching this movie. this was one of those days where i went to blockbuster and they just had nothing out that week. i saw cellular and i thought it could have some potential. i didn’t have high expectations, but it blew me away. the acting was pretty good, not great. but where this movie shines is its action and extremely fast pace. in one of the parts of the movie where he steals the porsche, i actually found myself on the very edge of my couch. this didn’t win any Oscars or anything, but its good thrilling entertainment. not a lot of people heard about it, but its had the same effect on everyone I’ve shown it to.

    Wow…… Intense.

    This is a intense movie but at times can be funny. I did not really want to watch this but ended up doing so and I loved it. Billy-Bob Thorton does a great job playing a mentally handicapped person. In my view He does a much better job then Sean Penn did in ‘I am Sam’.This is a sometimes disturbing, sometimes heartwarming movie which can really show you what life can be like for some people. It takes us into all sorts of topics like, religion, homosexuality, sexism etc

    As the movie approaches it’s conclusion the music becomes more and more intense and right at the conclusion it just goes silent. This just grabbed my attention and I could not stop watching it. Every part of this movie is perfect and everybody should see this. It is just great.
