    “The Last Samurai” Plot Summary

    An American military advisor embraces the Samurai culture he was hired to destroy after he is captured in battle.

    Laughable

    Well, during all the movie Samurais are depicted as a warriors’ elite that studied and practised the art of war for centuries. Nevertheless we see that it’s very easy for an American alcoholic to equal them in the art of katana handling in just some months of training (this samurais must be dumb, as they practise katana since they are children !!). What about tactics ? After centuries of continuous warfare, they need a foreigner to teach them to feign a retreat and then to counterattack. And what about the final scene in which the captain arrives just when the pact is being signed and the Emperor changes idea ? I laughed to tears. I thought The Gladiator was unrivalled, but Hollywood never cease to amaze me. I’ll seek comfort in Kagemusha or Gohatto.

    “Six Days Seven Nights” Movie Review

    “6 Days 7 Nights” Plot Summary

    Robin Monroe, a New York magazine editor, and the gruff pilot Quinn Harris must put aside their mutual dislike if they are to survive after crash landing on a deserted South Seas island. add synopsis

    Surprisingly, delightful!

    I sat down in front of this movie fully expecting to laugh at it and was hardly ever given the opportunity: although the opening, with David Schwimmer ‘Friends-ing’ it is pretty awful. You sense there’s more to it all though when he asks Heche to wear something special and her naughty thoughts are quickly usurped with a ring. Nice script moment and I kept watching…The meat of the film centres around the burgeoning love between the unlikely castaway couple of Ford and Heche. I mean, this film has no pretensions beyond being a fully loved-up snog in the back of the flea-pit matinee, so we get flirting almost from the moment they crash. But a mixture of competent shooting at a marvelous location and great acting from Ford that’s well matched by Heche (who’s not only attractive, but game, wearing revealing costume throughout and having to refer to her own chest as ’small’ more than once) renders it sexy and believable

    Chuck in some authentic contemporary pirates – I’m also a bit tickled by the fact that the Star Wars prequels’ Boba Fett is chasing around after IV, V and VI’s Han Solo! – and Reitman’s smart decision to avoid excessive tie-ups (e.g. How does Heche get down the island white water Ford found so difficult? Will Schwimmer hook up with the Latino at the end? etc.) and you have highly enjoyable 6.5/10 matinee fare for a weekend date. Bravo
