” Alien?” 1992 by David Fincher – Movie Review
Ellen Ripley Closely Cropped
A rare case for Hollywood: the “Alien 3″ movie is so bizarre, so non-for-profit that it is pretty surprising it got shot and released to the theatres. The film has undergone an unusually complex preparation process: the script was at different times written by the famous cyberpunk writer William Gibson and screenwriter Eric Red, among the previous assigned directors were Renny Harlin and Vincent Ward (director of the “The Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey”, 1988), some of Ward’s storyline ideas entered the final script, which was then modified by producers David Giler and Walter Hill. The latter said later that in the “Alien 3″ he sees a certain connotations associated with the AIDS virus: well, it might be the way it is. The last of the directors, David Fincher, by the time was known mostly for a few inventive rock-music videos. Subsequently this director got famous for strong thrillers “Se7en” (1995) and “The Game” (1997).
Alien 3 Plot Summary
A remote planet, neglected ore refinery- a correctional facility for especially dangerous criminals with extra Y-chromosome. An escape vessel in which Ripley, Newt, Hicks, and a droid called Bishop are traveling on crash lands on Fiorina 161. Unfortunately, although Newt and Hicks do not survive the crash, the brisk and tenacious form of life does and it is probably somewhere nearby, in the endless factory ventilation shafts. The rescuer team from the Corporation is already speeding to rescue, though who knows whom exactly they are going to save? Therefore Ripley and the local black sanctimonious leader have raised the convicts to fight the alien monster – and the alien habitually tears all the living beings into parts but somehow it doesn’t touch the heroine.

GREAT MOVIE!
I don’t understand why a lot of people didn’t like this movie. The fact is, if you didn’t like the main point of the TV series, or you don’t like the main concept of the movie, you shouldn’t see the movie! It was very colorful (to represent that its based off of the original TV series), it’s very well thought, and it’s good for entertainment! I loved this movie because they really made it seem similar to the TV series in different ways.
Yes, some of it may not make the best of logical sense, but it captures comedy, action, and romance. It is a fun movie and really interesting to keep your eyes glued to the screen! The acting is great, the script is well-written, and the direction of the director is really well done! 10 out of 10!

“Beowulf” Movie Review
“Beowulf” Plot Summary
The warrior Beowulf must fight and defeat the monster Grendel who is terrorizing towns, and later, Grendel’s mother, who begins killing out of revenge.
Good but weird
It is a very strange sensation to watch a film where the cast comprises largely imitations of the people in the cast: watching Anthony Hopkins occupy a replica of himself is profoundly weird. The experience then becomes even weirder when the character inhabited by the larger than life persona of Ray Winstone isn’t Winstone! (despite his avowed intention of doing away with monstahs!) One also has to overcome the expectation that a cartoon film (if one can refer to a wholly CGI film as such) is aimed predominantly at the younger viewer: Beowulf contains some quite savage violence, not to mention some earthy humour, and is definitely not for youngsters.
It is a worthwhile effort, though. Taking some liberties with the ancient epic poem, it tells an exciting story, and always looks good. The cast are all excellent (even if, as noted above, they are somewhat distracting), and it is worth singling out Crispin Glover for his stunning performance as Grendel – he makes a barbaric murdering monster something deserving of sympathy.
I can’t comment on the 3D as I saw a flat copy, but I can imagine that it would have been very effective.
An interesting experiment, and one which was successful in artistic terms, even if perhaps not in commercial terms.

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!

“AVPR: Aliens vs Predator – Requiem” Movie Review
“AVPR” Plot Summary
Warring alien and predator races descend on a small town, where unsuspecting residents must band together for any chance of survival.
Well I loved it
Now now people, when the first AVP came out we all slagged it for being a lame PG and we all screamed for some violence and some gore… well then, that is what we got and you still complain??!! It is what it claims to be all out war between the aliens and the predator. who cares if we don’t really get to know any of the human characters and we don’t care if they live or die the film isn’t really about them (the clue is in the title). yes it is dark but if you really can’t see whats going on then you either need glasses or a better TV. this film was what i hoped it would be and what i wanted from the first one. people need to get over the fact that this is not Cameron’s Aliens vs John McTiernan’s Predator. it was never going to be that but for what it is, a film about a predator killing lots of aliens and a load of humans caught in the middle, it is fantastic.

“The Young Victoria” Movie Review
“The Young Victoria” Plot Summary
A dramatization of the turbulent first years of Queen Victoria’s rule, and her enduring romance with Prince Albert. add synopsis
Amazing
I saw this on the big screen and was encapsulated with it. The period of Queen Victoria’s younger years are a mystery and this is a perfect description of how a young girl was thrusted into one of the highest roles in the world
The script is perfect, the acting is amazing, the history and attention to detail is out of this world. Emily Blunt is perfect as Victoria. Funny how her mother is played by Elizabeth the 1st and William IV is played by Prince Albert! (Think Blackadder).
This portrayal of Victoria shows that she was a rebellious young woman once – I’m sure she would have been on Jeremey Kyle Show if it had been around then: ‘My mother and her boyfriend are trying to steal my life’.A Perfect piece of a major part of British and Commonwealth history.

“Lethal Weapon 3″ Movie Review
“Lethal Weapon 3″ Plot Summary
Martin Riggs finally meets his match in the form of Lorna Cole, a beautiful but tough policewoman. Together with Roger Murtaugh…
Great fun…
The signs of aging could shine through in ‘Lethal Weapon 3,’ but they don’t. Because – magically – the series doesn’t seem to be aging too much. Why? Because the series is always changing. It is smart, in that it realizes it cannot continue with the cop-buddy action-comedy formula per se, so it almost becomes more of a strict comedy with some big stunt pieces and looney fights. Sure, there’s plenty of action, but it’s not as fierce of bruising or just downright vicious as in the first two films. When there are fight scenes they seem a bit more corny than before. This is a more lighthearted entry into the series, and though you could say without seeing the film that soft is not what ‘Lethal Weapon’ is about, just remember how tiring it would have been seeing a repeat of the second and first film
Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) are back. The film opens with an explosive prelude that has become the symbol of the ‘Lethal Weapon’ movies (later films such as ‘Bad Boys’ – another cop-buddy film – tried to use the same technique but, in my opinion, sort of failed).
After the opening sequence, in which they try to diffuse a bomb in a parking garage but end up tripping the detonator instead, the two men are demoted from Sergeants to regular cops – they walk the streets in boredom giving out tickets to J-walkers and trying to find a way to have some fun
Murtaugh is bent on retiring – again – in a week. Riggs, now his best-buddy, tries to ignore the fact as best he can by cracking jokes about girdles. (Don’t ask.) While walking the streets they come upon an armored van robbery (what are the chances?) and stop the crooks through a windy car chase along a highway, with a reference to ‘The Road Warrior’ along the way. (And if you don’t understand that joke, you don’t belong on this site.)Plot revelation upon plot revelation finally builds up into the fact that new weapons are filling the streets – ‘cop killers’ – that can go right through a bulletproof vest and out the other side. Brought in to investigate into these matters is Lorna Cole (Rene Russo), a woman after Riggs’ own heart. She kicks butt, pays no attention to rules, and is a smart…bottom
Also returning is Joe Pesci to the role of Leo Getz. His head full of bleached hair and sporting a nice car, the retired thief is now in real estate, trying to sell Murtaugh’s home to interested folk. One of the best scenes is when Getz is taking a couple through Murtaugh’s home and mentions all the different accidents they’ve had over the year, including the car smashing through the wall and ‘accidental bomb damage’ upstairs. He later says it’s illegal to withhold information. And this is coming from the guy who, in ‘Lethal 2,’ admitted to laundering drug money.’Lethal Weapon 3′ is full of fun, good intentions, and more fun. For fans of the first two films this is a great relief – it’s not nearly as bad as you’re expecting it to be. However, there are more than a handful of flaws here. The plot is not nearly as realistic nor intriguing as the first two, the action is a bit too dumbed down at times, and overall the film seems more like a big-budget extravaganza as compared to the smartness of the first two. Still, you really can’t go wrong with ‘Lethal Weapon 3,’ because if you enjoyed the first two, you’re going to eat this up.4/5 stars.- John Ulmer

“Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” Plot Summary
When Dr. Henry Jones Sr. suddenly goes missing while pursuing the Holy Grail, eminent archaeologist Indiana Jones must follow in his father’s footsteps and stop the Nazis.
As great as Raiders
The third film of the series is virtually as great and as entertaining as Raider of the Lost Ark. We get to see Indy on a ‘quest’ to find the Holy Grail, which is even rarer than the Ark of Covenant and the Ankara Stones. In fact, this one is Indy’s most challenging adventure yet. To add more greatness to the cast, we get to meet Indy’s father Henry Jones Sr. (played by Sean Connery of James Bond-fame). Seeing Harrison Ford and Sean Connery as father and son gave me that ‘James Bond is Indy’s father’ kind of feeling
The film’s action scenes are great to watch! Spielberg’s directing formulated the action to a higher level than that of the Temple of Doom. In fact, I find the action here the most exciting yet. Overall, The Last Crusade is one of the best movies ever made with action and adventure. It’s right beside Raiders of the Lost Ark on top.

“Troy” Plot Summary
An adaptation of Homer’s great epic, the film follows the assault on Troy by the united Greek forces and chronicles the fates of the men involved.
One of my favorites
I saw Troy yesterday, and I was not very excited to go along to see it
The minute the movie started, I was enchanted by the words. As a writer, I was in awe of David Benioff, the screenplay writer of this film, and I thought the entire movie was quote-worthy. I wished I had had a paper and pen with me so that I could have written the lines down, they were magnificent. The story was portrayed so that I did not know which man I wanted to survive. The acting was excellent, the costumes and set were spectacular. This movie is one of my all-time favorites, and I suggest that everyone see it. The depiction of Homers ‘The Iliad’ was amazing, entertaining, and int

“88: 88 Minutes” Plot Summary
In Seattle, the successful forensic psychiatrist and college professor Jack Gramm is in evidence since…
Frantic and exciting thriller with good performances from Al Pacino and his nemesis Neal McDonough
Tense and suspenseful thriller film with a stunning race against time. This Hichcockian movie deals about a forensic psychologist and University professor with tortured past named Jack Grimm (Al Pacino ) who receives a phone call telling him which has only eighty eight minutes to live. Jack was witness on trail against serial killer Jon Foster (Neal McDonough)and influenced the tribunal to condemn him to death row. In narrow time he desperately seeks to communicate with a problematic student (Ben McKenzie,OC), his associate Shelby (Amy Brenneman), assistant (Alicia Witt), his friend and FBI agent(William Forsythe), a security guard (Brendan Fletcher) and University dean (Deborah Kara Unger). Meanwhile being pursued by a delinquent (Stephen Moyer) and besieged by numerous threatening cellular calls
Gripping, original action movie with Al Pacino desperately trying to find the means avoid to be murdered. Acceptable thriller full of intrigue and tense, this is a fast-paced, stylized action-suspense film. The tension of this picture keeps snowballing as the clock ticks ever close for continuous killings. The tale appears to unfold in real time as the many on cellular calls will verify. Most unusual is the device of having the victim play desperado and hunt the killer, and saving himself, as time runs out. The flick is well filmed in Seattle, Washington State and Vancouver ,British Columbia , Canada. Casting is frankly magnificent, Al Pacino as tormented psychiatrist, unsettling when approaches his last minutes of life, though Neal McDonough takes honors as a psychopath who attempts to turn the tables on the victims before Pacino can save them. Plus, a good secondary cast, such as William Forsythe, Deborah Kara Unger, and Stephen Moyer, among them. Adequate musical score accompanying the action by Ed Shearmur and inventively photographed by Denis Lenoir, both of whom share his skills in the following John Avnet’s movie ?Righteous kill? also with Al Pacino and Trilby Glover who again plays a defense attorney. The motion picture is regularly directed by John Avnet because of it contains some gaps and flaws. Avnet is a nice director who achieved his greatest success with ?Fried green tomatoes? and ?Up close and personal? and failures as ?The war?. He directed and produced some hits, though today also making TV movies as the excellent ?The uprising ? and television episodes.
