“Happening” Movie Review
“Happening” Plot Summary
A strange, horrible and unprecedented crisis begins in Central Park. A high school science teacher, his wife and a young girl do what they can to survive it.
wow!
This was one of the most unfulfilling experiences i have had in the last 10 years! Honestly who decided this should be released to the public and why. a B list star cast doesn’t make a block buster it evidently just makes for a BUST. M night shyamalan has never put out a stunning film and this is no exception. i feel taken for a ride and dropped off dumbfounded. i should have known better, I could write a film about getting wasted and renting this movie (which is exactly what happened) and im pretty sure as long as it had one of the Wahlburgs in it i would it would be a smash! in conclusion, some of the worst acting i have seen from Hollywood, appalling writing, and over all else a terrible plot.
i need a drink!

“Carlito’s Way” Movie Review
“Carlito’s Way” Plot Summary
A Puerto-Rican ex-con, just released from prison, pledges to stay away from drugs and violence despite the pressure around him and lead on to a better life outside of NYC. add synopsis
One of the best movies ever; a dead end
I think ‘Carlito’s Way’ is one of the most underestimated movies ever, a technically beautiful film, a rare pearl and in my opinion, one of the best achievements in the gangster genre. Not that people usually find it bad, they just don’t consider it as important as it actually is. Many people say it is a kind of unofficial sequel of De Palma’s ‘Scarface’, and they’re not completely wrong because there is an undeniable link between the main character of both films; Brigante is not the antithesis of Montana but just the same man if he could physically no more be a criminal. He doesn’t stop crime activities simply by choice but due to a physical obligation; Carlito represents, in a way, Tony Montana if he had lived longer. I find that this idea of the bad guy searching for redemption by necessity very interesting. And of course, Pacino is the perfect one to play such a complex role
More fascinating are the reasons why there is no way for Carlito : he makes himself a target because he has still felonious reactions and feel indebted to Kleinsfeld; he is still conditioned by the gangster code he knows since his childhood. It is not an usual thriller at all, the romance has a great part in it, as if Pacino himself was bored of the crime genre that made him so famous and wanted to change the movie into a love story, even if the spectator knows since the beginning that it won’t be possible. The fact is that this romance is the center of Brigante’s actions; thus, in a very touching scene, Carlito explains how he has changed, is now aware of his weakness and by doing so, opposes himself to the archetype of the cold and strong drug dealer. This is people expecting some kind of usual gangster movie could be disappointed if they don’t get in mind that the center of the story is the main character’s search for love and quietness. The conclusion of this search has no importance compared to the path chosen to achieve it; Carlito’s Way is about acting, not about succeeding
From an aesthetic point of view, the direction is well-mastered and incredibly dynamic for a film of that kind. De Palma is undeniably a virtuoso and loves more than all to make the camera move in an harmonious way, just as if it was following Pacino’s gesture. Of course, the long shot showing Carlito hidden in Grand Central illustrates well this approach. The pool sequence is also a strong example of Hitchcock’s legacy and influence on De Palma; the suspense that results from the situation is at its top and constitutes a pure form cinema based on the agreement between the main character’s feelings and the audience’s. The director also knows how to use ‘cliche’ scenes to reverse them and make them become truly original. It is something rare enough in my experience of moviegoer to be put forward
I think De Palma developed perfectly the main character (as he did in his ‘Scarface’) and had the good idea to do not idealize him. It seems that according to the director, a gangster can hardly repent; De Palma shows how hard it is for a criminal to regain a good reputation in a society that has changed while he was in jail. Carlito himself doesn’t fully understand the world he’s coming in after his years of prison and it is one of the reasons why his integration becomes very hard. Even the rules of the underworld in which he grew up have changed in such a way that he can’t have any place in it; he progressively understands how alone he is. Of course, beside Pacino, there is Sean Penn in one of his greatest roles as Dave Kleinfeld, a lawyer that will progressively show his true color. Penelope Ann Miller also creates a very touching character and the other supporting actors (including some that were in De Palma’s ‘Scarface’) give an important contribution for creating this typical NY environment. Concerning the music, Patrick Doyle composed a wonderful and very sad theme that fits perfectly with Carlito’s tragic story. However, don’t forget the various pieces of the score that are related to clubbing and very well chosen among the best of the 70’s. Thus, I am always sad to notice that this masterpiece is not more appreciate because it’s a movie you never forget. As I am a huge Pacino fan, I have to say that to my opinion, this is his greatest and deepest performance, far away from his usual gangster roles (Tony Montana was an unusual character, but not as touching as Carlito Brigante). Furthermore, the opening sequence and the ending are certainly among the most tragic and successfully made I have ever seen in a movie. This is an emotive masterpiece. Notice that the French magazine ‘Les Cahiers du Cinema’ chose ‘Carlito’s Way’ as the best movie of the 1990’s; I truly agree with that statement. 10/10 for a pure cinema moment.

“Titan A.E.: After Earth” Plot Summary
A young man learns that he has to find a hidden Earth ship before an enemy alien species does in order to secure the survival of humanity. add synopsis
A film worth watching
Titan A.E. is well thought out and well developed. It is good adult animation in the same vein as Heavy Metal, while still being a movie for the family. Don Bluth scores one more triumph with his horde of animators and with the vocal talents of Matt Daimon, Drew Barrymore, Bill Pullman and Nathan Lane. The rest of the cast is also excellent. It does not have to be epic in nature to be fun to watch. I read some of the whinny comments from other reviewers and wonder how they can ever enjoy any movie when all they are doing is nitpicking. This film makes no pretense of being great art. It is simply an enjoyable story with good acting, excellent animation and a really fine sound score. And if an old man like myself can enjoy the music, younger people should also
I you have not seen it, by all means do. And don’t miss the making of feature after the end credits on the VHS and I am sure the DVD versions.

“The Fan” Movie Review
“The Fan” Plot Summary
An all star baseball player becomes the unhealthy focus of a down on his luck salesman. add synopsis
Entertaining!
The Fan has combined both baseball and a thriller together to make everyone happy. It is slow at the beginning but it gets interesting as the story develops more and more as we look at the life of a famous player and a knife salesman who will later become involved in a life risking dilemma. Robert De Niro teams up with director Tony Scott and Wesley Snipes to make one good thriller. Even though The Fan can’t compare with the likes of Tony Scott’s previous films, True Romance and Top Gun, it is a still a promising thriller with some pretty big flaws. It is not a masterpiece and nor will it ever be but will be remembered as a movie that tried but could not reach the finish line. The critics were very harsh on this film but that’s what they are born to do, criticize on every single piece of work. Five point six is too low for a film like the fan, a six point two would have been more like it. The end is cliched and ruins the whole point of the film. The movie is predictable yet entertains you a little bit to stop you from taking the disc out. If you are a thriller lover then this movie is no disappointment because it will entertain you. The violence is limited and that’s is a good thing but language is high.(MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS!!!)Number one fan Gil Renard whose obsession is focused on a San Francisco Giants all-star outfielder Booby Rayburn. While the newly signed baseball star is having trouble getting his favorite uniform number from a competitive teammate Juan Primo, Gil is having career troubles at the knife company that his father founded, and people can bet that his proximity to high-quality stainless-steel blades will be a factor in the suspenseful plot. Gil confronts Primo in a sauna and explains to the ballplayer that he believes Rayburn’s decline in play is directly the result of Primo’s competitiveness, since Rayburn took over Primo’s spot at center field, but did not let him use his lucky number of 11 on his jersey. When Primo brushes off the fan’s concerns, Gil proceeds to murder the left fielder with one of his makeshift knives!Wesley Snipes finally gives a exceptional performance and he plays his sport role, Bobby Rayburne, very well and he shows emotion along with many other good feelings. The Fan is not so great that you would rather watch this than Kill Bill because you are a complete retard (No Offense). Robert De Niro plays the die-hard baseball fan who will do anything to impress his favorite baseball player, Bobby Rayburne (Wesley Snipes, and which results in him turning into something sinister and evil. Benicio Del Toro is almost unrecognizable in this film but after catching his face a few times, I finally realized that Benicio Del Toro looks like crap in this film. Jack Black also makes a two-second appearance in this film as the radio station guy. He looks normal and fat, usual. I got this in a triple film-pack which contained Money Train and Unstoppable, so I brought it because it was a good deal. This film deserves a view at least once. It is enjoyable, entertaining, fun, cliched and flawed but even though it is all that, you will have a good time. 7/10.

“Righteous Kill” Movie Review
“Righteous Kill” Plot Summary
Two veteran New York City detectives work on a case of serial executions of criminals who escaped justice.
Great work by Al and Bobby!!!
I had really low expectations when I went to watch the movie
All the reviews I read were negative,I wanted to see this mainly because I am a big fan of both Al and Bobby
The movie was enjoyable and it is nothing like what other viewers/critics have said
Some have said that this is disgusting and predictable…awww gimme a break! this is not disgusting!This has got two of the greatest actors of all time and they still seem to have a lot left in them (They have a lot to offer in the future and I am sure they will not disappoint).
I felt both Al and Bobby did a great job in this movie
They seemed to have great chemistry between them and I would like to praise the rest of the cast as well especially Carla Gugino,John Leguizamo,Brian Dennehy and Donnie Wahlberg
Curtis Jackson should not have been in this movie but he does a reasonable job
I feel Jon Avnet does not deserve to direct a movie with stars like these
I just hope that Al does not work with him in the future
This movie is not in the league of Godfather 2 and Heat but it is definitely worth watching
DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE CRITICS SAY(THOSE GUYS ARE ALL SCUMBAGS).THE ACTING IS GREAT IN THIS ONE AND IT IS A MUST SEE FOR ALL FANS OF DE NIRO AND PACINO!!!

“Ice Age” Movie Review
“Ice Age” Plot Summary
Set during the Ice Age, a sabertooth tiger, a sloth, and a wooly mammoth find a lost human infant, and they try to return him to his tribe. add synopsis
Ice Age is coming…
I watched ‘Ice Age’in the movie theater and I liked the movie. Spite of the fact that ‘Ice Age’has many flaws and scientific errors,like humans,sabers,dinosaurs and mammoths living at the same period, and even the location of where the story passes(looks North America,but has some characteristics from Iceland for example) we can have fun even so.(unless you are very severe!) The planet is entering an ICE AGE, and many animals are immigrating to the south where is warmer. Sid is a stupid Sloth that is left behind by his own family, that can’t stand him any longer
Walking in his way, he meets Manfred,or how he calls ” Manny” a moody mammoth who does not care about extinction or immigration and is going to the north. Worried that he can easily be captured, Sid decides to follow Manfred, and in the middle of their journey, they found a human mother with her baby. The mother dies but Manfred and Sid decides to take him and return the baby for the humans. Diego, one of the sabers, decides to follow and help them to go to a shortcut to the human’s camp. What Manfred and Sid does not know, is that Diego is from a saber clan who hates humans and wants to kill the baby, and also pretend to betray they both to make they become saber’s food. What will happen, will depend of Diego’s behavior and conscience…aka ‘A Era do Gelo’ – Brazil

“Ice Age 2″ Plot Summary
Diego, Manny and Sid return in this sequel to the hit Ice Age. This time around the Ice Age is over and is starting to melt, which will destroy their valley. So they must unite and warn everyone about the situation. add synopsis
Wow! A sequel that’s better than the original!!
My family and I absolutely LOVED this movie!! We thought it achieved the rare accomplishment of being better than its original. As my husband says, ‘They stole from everyone.’ Without spoiling the movie, let me just say there were bits from Broadway musicals, from other movies (some new, some classics), and from everything in between. The vultures’ musical number is the one that has gotten stuck in my head. That’s as far as I’ll go with that one
Ice Age 2 really racked up the talent. Numerous times we would lean over and whisper ‘I know that voice! Who IS that?’ I was truly surprised to find out that one of them was Jay Leno
Although the underlying message of both Ice Age movies is death, doom, and destruction, I thought overall it was a very light-hearted movie with lots of hope, love, and friendship. The photo-quality animation of the rushing water, Scrat’s fur blowing in the breeze, and many other tiny details was no less than breathtakingly impressive
While it may be just a bit much for the smallest of children, I whole-heartedly recommend this movie to everyone else, young and old alike. You don’t have to have kids or be a kid to love this one, just enjoy laughing.

“Moulin Rouge” Movie Review
“Moulin Rouge” Plot Summary
A poet falls for a beautiful courtesan whom a jealous duke covets in this stylish musical, with music drawn from familiar 20th century sources. add synopsis
The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to love, and to be loved in return…
And so I went, journeying into the unforgettable trip that was ‘Moulin Rouge!’ – now and forever one of my all-time favourite MOVIES (not just movie musicals) ever! I simply cannot say enough to express how very deeply this film affected me when I first viewed it…it’s impossible. From the very first jaw-dropping image of the 20th-Century Fox logo bordered by a beautiful red velvet curtain and a bouncy conductor – I knew then that I was about to experience something I had never seen before. Grand, inspiring, original, flawless…everything that so many others have said in their descriptions of ‘Moulin Rouge!’ could not be put any better. This is the reason I am now a bona-fide fan of director Baz Luhrmann. I had actually seen some of his previous work – the hyperkinetic modern version of William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ – and from then on was absolutely hooked onto his visual flair. Likewise with ‘R+J’, ‘Moulin Rouge!’ oozes with theatrical energy, gorgeous costumes/set designs, terrific music, and of course, first-rate acting from its wonderful two leads, as well as the supporting cast
Watching the first few minutes, I could unfortunately see why this movie was ignored and laughed at by many critics, filmgoers, etc.; apparently it developed a bit of a ‘cult’ following of sorts after that. I agree that it’s not for everybody – but come on, after I finished it, I remember thinking: ‘What’s wrong with everybody? This movie is a classic! What were the haters thinking?’ Granted, if you don’t like musicals, I can understand, but for others, I guess its overwhelming originality and unconventional wisdoms were too much for some people. Oh, well…you clearly can’t please everybody
At any rate, this film deserved all the praise and award nominations it received and/or won. It’s certainly one of the more interesting and groundbreaking films released early in the new millennium, and it truly reminds some of us just why we love movies in the first place (or musicals, or MOVIE musicals, for that matter). It lifts our spirits with often-campy fun. It’s lovely, it’s larger-than-life, and it’s just plain phenomenal. A joy to watch and listen to
I’ll stop gushing for now…I think I’ve made my point clear. Thank you.* * * TRUTH * BEAUTY * FREEDOM * LOVE * * *

“Collateral Damage” Movie Review
“Collateral Damage” Plot Summary
After his family is killed by a terrorist act, a firefighter goes in search of the one responsible. add synopsis
I liked it because the terrorists were so evil…
so how can one not like seeing them get their butt kicked by a one man wrecking machine. Arnie is back, as a revenge seeking firefighter. This flick is much better than his last couple of films. His acting is OK, but some line deliveries are laughable. His face appears tighter than an army private’s bunk bed. Who says you have to age in Hollywood!(SPOILERS): My favorite scene is where the wolf forces a snake down his own man’s throat as punishment. It looked painful. Eek! I also liked the scene where Arnie sets a granade to go off but the wolf escapes because he hears Arnie yelling to the woman and child to get down. I knew the woman/wife would end up being just as evil because she wouldn’t be married to a terrorist if she didn’t support his actions and beliefs
Of course, it is unrealistic that one man could take over a guerilla camp when the whole USA operatives couldn’t do anything about it. But what I didn’t like was the scene toward the end when Arnie sets this huge fireball off in the tunnel and 2 people on a motorcycle are swallowed by the explosion and survive. That was so unbelieveable. Arnie takes care of the wife and terrorist. But, he should have killed the terrorist in a more painful way because the scum deserved that.(END OF SPOILERS)FINAL VERDICT): This is your average action flick. There was nothing spectacular that would make me want to see it again. I recommend it if you are a big action fan.
