“Proof of Life” Plot Summary
Alice hires a professional negotiator to obtain the release of her engineer husband, who has been kidnapped by anti-government guerrillas in South America. add synopsis
A good and very entertaining thriller with Russell Crowe
While building a dam in ‘Tecala’, a country situated in the Andes, the chief America engineer ‘Peter Bowman’ (David Morse), is captured by anti-government forces during a raid in the capital. When the rebels discover their identity require $3 million to return safe and sound. However, the company of ‘Peter’, based in Houston, is on the brink of bankruptcy and has canceled the insurance policy against kidnappings, so it cannot provide the money for their rescue. Abandoned by the company, ‘Alice’ (Meg Ryan), the wife of ‘Peter’, must cope with the situation by your account. She hires the services of the negotiator of hostages professional ‘Terry Thorne’ (Russell Crowe), a veteran of SAS, which in recent years has dealt with numerous kidnappings.’Proof of Life’ is a film little considered due to high expectations for its attractiveness argument and that is the first film of Russell Crowe after the great success throughout the world with ‘Gladiator.’ But its director Taylor Hackford has not sought a film committed and complaint, only has sought to expose through a current problem, a simple thriller and fairly, conventional with good scenes of action. Its objective is achieved by far, but it is not at all what has been expected of this film
In terms of its scenes of action, they are very successful and generous, with some contribution of tension well managed. The film is conventional within this genre of films. It has not nothing to do not have seen before, but it knows expose very well the action, although the fabric loving can be considered very secondary fulfills its mission,

“Notting Hill” Movie Review
“Notting Hill” Plot Summary
The life of a simple bookshop owner changes when he meets the most famous film star in the world. add synopsis
One of the most enjoyable romances ever
You’ll find, that with most British comedies, there’s a lot of wit, that they carry, which will be lost of most people. However, this is one of those unique little gems, that everyone can have the pleasure of enjoying and partaking in
Although it’s not my favorite Julia Roberts movie, it’s my second favorite. ‘Steel Magnolias’ is a film, I will forever carry a special place in my heart, however, this comes as a close second. Hugh Grant gives a typical, gorgeous, and average performance, as an average Joe who falls in love with someone, not within his reach…but somehow is
I would recommend this film to everyone and anyone. If you love light romantic comedies, than this is where you want to be…’Notting Hill’. It’s a fun, flirtatious little movie, that keeps you in store for laughs, tears (depending on how emotional you tend to get with films like these), and plenty of embarrassments. It’s a great film that deserves all the credibility and recognition that it has already received…and then some
Don’t pass this film up. It’s one of the greatest romances of all time, and will stay a favorite of mine for a long time to come. A keeper, and definitely an excellent 10!

“O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Movie Review
“O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Plot Summary
Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey”, set in the deep south during the 1930’s. In it, three escaped convicts search for hidden treasure while a relentless lawman pursues them.
The Best Coen Brothers Film Yet
Just seen this film at an NFT preview, and I was blown away by it. It is very funny, gorgeous to look at, has a stunning soundtrack and absolutely impeccable comedy performances. Sharing a similar meandering storyline with the Big Lebowski, it succeed where that film fails by still having a coherent storyline running through and a satisfying resolution. As I’ve come to expect from the Coens, the visuals are striking but they’ve never been this beautiful before, and at no time – unlike – in previous films, do they seem merely to be there as an exercise in cleverness. But what makes this film is the excellent comic performances from even the smaller roles (several of whom are Coen regulars) – Even though the characters, as in many coen films, are (slightly irregular) stereotypes the performances give even the shallow characters a depth and makes the scenes even more funny. Oh, and the soundtrack ain’t too bad either.

“The Big Lebowski” Movie Review
“The Big Lebowski” Plot Summary
“Dude” Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.
A True Masterpiece
This movie is sort of like a circus minus the clowns and the freak show; everything about it is attractive and entertaining. The characters are deep and interesting, and even the most minor of characters have their own unique personality. The camera work is ingenious, as are the visuals and costumes. The comedy comes in from all sides, whether subtle, witty, or straightforward. The Coen Brothers use stereotypes and wording like Van Gough used a brush. It is one of those few movies where almost every line is quotable and easily recognizable. Unlike most comedies (if you could call it such) the story is both followable and enjoyable. One of the true masterpieces of our time. If you don’t like this movie, I’m sure you hate to laugh.

“Bedtime Stories” Movie Review
“Bedtime Stories” Plot Summary
A family comedy about a hotel handyman whose life changes when the lavish bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew start to magically come true.
Pretty good. A fun family movie.
Way better than I thought it’d be. I was expecting total garbage when I saw the movie today, but I was pleasantly surprised. Adam Sandler is very funny in this movie. It’s fun for the whole family. Keri Russell is a very good actress in her role. Those cute little kids that plays Adam’s niece and nephew are good in their roles. Russel brand is good as the best friend. Richard Griffiths is perfect as always in everything he does. The guy that plays Adam’s dad was amazing. I loved his voice over. I enjoyed it very much. My only complaint is that the Guinea Pig jokes were a little much at times. All and all it was a good movie.

“The Princess and the Frog” Movie Review
“The Princess and the Frog” Plot Summary
A fairy tale set in Jazz Age-era New Orleans and centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana and her fateful kiss with a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again.
By Jove…it’s actually GOOD!
I’ve said my share of disparaging words against the Walt Disney Company, and let’s face it; they’ve put out more than their share of garbage over the years. It seems as if Pixar has been pulling their dead weight for the past decade as they’ve put out offensively bad DTV releases and pumping their money and resources into their sub par T.V. station and musical acts (though I will say that Lilo and Stitch, as well as The Emperor’s New Groove, which I consider to be one of Disney’s funniest releases). Yes, it seemed that all hope was lost for the Mouse and that anything original and thought provoking associated with the Disney name would have that cute little bouncing lamp right along side
Imagine my surprise when I saw The Princess and the Frog yesterday. Surprise nothing! I nearly went into a shock induced coma. This was a brilliant film, something truly worthy of Uncle Walt’s iconic signature. This film had all the makings of a Disney classic: great story, great characters, great music, and of course, great art
One thing I always give the Walt Disney Co. credit for is their masterful art work in their features, even the less than stellar ones. This has, especially, been the case the past 20-25 years. Some of the same artists that worked on the more recent classics like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast worked on Princess and the Frog. I was told after the film that the same man that drew Belle (Randy Cartwright) drew for Tiana, and you can tell. The art in general in this movie is extremely impressive. Not only are all the characters well drawn, but the backgrounds are breath taking, very reminiscent of Hunchback of Notre Dame. They seem to take you into a painting of the location without losing it’s touch with reality. Also, the use of different art styles stood out, especially the ‘Almost There’ number, which was drawn mostly in the Art Deco style
Randy Newman’s score left the biggest impression on my after the film was over, though. I think this is the first time a Disney feature used, primarily, North American music styles like jazz, ragtime, southern gospel, and even zydeco. Of course, like any great Disney feature; Princess and the Frog had it’s signature musical number: the previously named ‘Almost There’. With a great tune, appropriate lyrics, and of course, the voice of Anika Noni Rose; I’m sure (and I hope) this will become another Disney standard. Unlike some Disney films, there wasn’t that dreadful ‘Oh dear merciful God, when is this going to end’ number. Every song was thought out, appropriate for it’s setting, and just…good. Kudos to Randy Newman, who will hopefully get an Oscar nomination (at least) for this film
Then, of course, there’s the high water mark for not only Disney movies, but for movies in general, especially animation films: characters and story. Movies can have an amazing score and even good animation, but if the story flops and if the characters are insufferable, then it’s going nowhere. This movie, thankfully, had neither problem. There was no character that you wish would just go get himself or herself bent. Everyone served his or her purpose in the movie
Like many of the newer Disney movies, The Princess and the Frog had a, well…Princess character that was blue collar and hard working
Tiana is young woman from the slums of New Orleans, whose sole purpose in life is to open up a successful restaurant serving authentic Louisiana cuisine. Of course, the man puts her down and she finds herself sunk. I will say that I’m VERY proud of Disney for not shoving the race issue down our throats and, at the same time, for not avoiding it all together. This was seen in the scene where the land lords of the building she’s looking to purchase
At the same time, a lazy hedonistic prince comes to New Orleans looking for a (Rich) bride since his monetary supply has been cut off by his parents. He sets his sights on a bona fide southern belle named Charlotte, Tiana’s foil and best friend. The Prince and his reluctant English servant (what prince would be complete without one) get sidetracked by a voodoo man/street performer named Dr. Facilier aka ‘The Shadow Man’, a slick deceitful crook with his own silhouette as a side kick (and yes, they are able to make it work). Dr. Facilier says both Prince Naveeh and Lawerence will get what they both desire most (money and a life without servitude, respectively). Louis is turned into the Prince (or at least, given his body) while Naveeh turns into…a smiley frog; which as we learn throughout the film is mucus
Naveeh meets Tiana after she changes clothes (and after her dreams of owning her own restaurant). Tiana, who is less than fond of frog, tries to kill our hero; but later finds out that this is a frog with a difference…he can talk. After Naveeh sees a copy of a print version of, appropriately enough, the Princess and the Frog, he asks Tiana (Who is wearing a tiara at the time) to kiss him, believing that she is, indeed, royalty herself; though he later finds out that she is a waitress. He promises that after she kisses him, something she is far from enthusiastic about, he will make her dream of owning her own restaurant a reality. Well, she does kiss him, but there’s a bit of a SNAFU: she turns into a frog herself. The two of them must find a way to become human again. Along the way, they meet a cavalcade of characters including a trumpet playing alligator (and yes, they are able to make it work somehow) and a Cajun firefly named Ray
The Princess and the Frog, a movie (I hope) that is destined for greatness.

“Monsters, Incorporated” Plot Summary
Monsters generate their city’s power by scaring children, but they are terribly afraid themselves of being contaminated by children, so when one enters Monstropolis, top scarer Sulley finds his world disrupted. add synopsis
My personal favorite Pixar movie
Pixar. With only seven movies you’ve built yourself a reputation as the greatest current animation studio of them all. Dreamworks has made some good ones and 20th Century Fox’s movies have made me chuckle a bit, and Disney has gone downhill in recent years. But you can consistently produce quality work with almost no stain on your track record (except A Bug’s Life, the one Pixar movie I did not enjoy). But I’ve lost track of my thoughts
I’m here to talk about Monster’s Inc., my personal favorite Pixar movie
I’m a doodler myself, and wan’t to be an animator someday. And I love drawing monsters. Weird looking, many armed, strange-eyed creatures. That may have been the 1st reason Monster’s Inc. appealed to me. So many of these creatures looked like something I would draw, and I spent much of my movie time looking at the creatures in the background
I also was captivated by the world that was created in Inc. A big problem for me in Pixar’s newest movie Cars was lack of real explanation for their universe, like how they built their buildings. In Monster’s Inc. the monster world is explained so much more in depth, and we really believe this world could exist. There’s a beauty in watching the thousands of closet doors zoom around and I always get goosebumps from watching the ’scare montage’, because I now know the mechanics of the world these creatures live in. The characters in the world are also incredibly well realized. Mike and Sully both are easily relatable to, and even small characters have feelings and motivations we can understand. ‘Boo’ actually behaves like a young child would, and that helped me believe she had real emotions. But the creature Randall is what stole the show for me. With his many arms, chameleon-like ability and sheer voice presence, it was hard for me to keep my eyes off of him. But what really made me love this movie so was the characters. When it comes time for the ’sad part’ of this movie, I was sad. I was actually seeing an animated cartoon that managed to make me feel for these animated creatures without being emotionally manipulative. And I’m not afraid to admit that I cry 4 out of 5 times at the ending
So, in the end, I can’t recommend this film enough. I think this stands above all other Pixar productions and is definitely one of the best animated films I’ve had the pleasure of seeing.

“The Emperor’s New Groove” Plot Summary
Emperor Kuzco is turned into a llama by his ex-administrator Yzma, and must now regain his throne with the help of Pacha, the gentle llama herder. add synopsis
Funny and highly original film.
I really enjoyed this movie. After some almost disastrous attempts at direct to video sequels, I was hugely surprised to see for once a wonderfully funny and highly original film. The animation is spot on, with beautiful backgrounds and well-drawn characters that are also likable. They are also very funny, especially Kronk, who looked similar to Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. The music by John Debney and Sting was hip and memorable. Usually in direct to video sequels(which of course this is not) the songs are just awful, and sound like they were improvised in five minutes. A good example is Cinderella 2. The songs here have funny lyrics, are well sung and sound as though the composers took some extreme lengths to make it perfect. The voice talents are exceptional. David Spade’s acting ability is somewhat limited but for this type of character, a selfish emperor called Kuzco who is turned into a llama by his adviser, it works wonderfully. John Goodman was very earnest as Pacha, and the villainess Yzma, who I would pick over the really bland Morgana from the Little Mermaid sequel any day, was played to perfection by Eartha Kitt. The script is funny and touching, and while sometimes it isn’t as laugh-out-loud funny as some animated films, it has a huge impact on the well told story. I have no real criticism for this movie, other than it is probably too short. Anyway 9/10. Bethany Cox.

“Bee Movie” Plot Summary
Barry B. Benson, a bee who has just graduated from college, is disillusioned at his lone career choice: making honey. On a special trip outside the hive, Barry’s life is saved by Vanessa, a florist in New York City. As their relationship blossoms, he discovers humans actually eat honey, and subsequently decides to sue us.
Best 3d Movie to Hit Theaters
I’ve seen many 3d movies by Pixar and Dreamworks, but I think that this movie tops anything I have ever seen by them. They bring the humor of children and adults together to create this hilarious story
Not everybody eats honey, but a lot of humans eat honey. You may not even know it. Well, Barry has just found out that, and he and his new human friend decides to sue Humans. This causes a lot of trouble with flowers and many flowers die. This is now Barry’s fault and now he is going to fix it all once and for all
This movie is clever. It’s hard to believe that no one has come up with a movie idea as crazy as this. I do recommend this movie for all of you Pixar and DreamWorks fans. This movie is not only for children, so don’t be fooled.

“Bringing Out the Dead” Plot Summary
Frank Pierce is a paramedic working Gotham’s Hell’s Kitchen. He’s become burned out and haunted by visions of the people he’s tried to save. add synopsis
Good once it finds its rhythm
After reading the novel by Joe Connelly this movie is based on(by the way, the title is a reference to MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL), it seemed a perfect fit for director Martin Scorsese, writer Paul Schraeder, and star Nicolas Cage. After all, this is the mean streets of New York, this is about trying to find salvation and redemption in the pits of despair, and it features a character on the edge. But when things start out, I was disappointed. It seems like all three of them, Scorsese, Schraeder, and Cage, were straining to get the effect of the novel, and it felt disjointed. The narration by Cage seems to be covering up for what’s not being shown, which always means trouble
In lesser hands, this might have been a problem. However, Scorsese has the craft to match his passion, and he soon finds the rhythm. The narration is used less and less as the movie goes on, and Cage is gradually able to show his grief, rather than just talk about it. We still don’t feel the impact of the story as much as we do in the novel, but we do feel something, thanks to Cage and Patricia Arquette(as the daughter of a patient he saves). Once it gets going, the black humor, courtesy of Ving Rhames and Tom Sizemore as fellow paramedics and Scorsese and Queen Latifah as dispatchers, helps fuel the picture as well. This isn’t quite as good as Scorsese’s other New York stories, but it is a worthy addition to his canon.
