“Con Air” Movie Review
“Con Air” Plot Summary
A newly released ex-con and former US Ranger finds himself trapped in a prisoner transport plane when the passengers seize control.
Amazing action flick
This film goes beyond the usual boundaries of an action film. The ensemble cast is brilliant. Nicholas Cage and John Cusack play the ex army ranger turned paroled prisoner and FIB agent respectively who have to find a way of working together when psycho Cyrus ‘The Virus’ Grissom takes over a plane of prisoners who are being transferred to a maximum security unit. Cyrus is played brilliantly by the menacing John Malkovich, and he makes the character appear truly evil, down to his cold eyes. This is the sort of role he excels at
There is also an appearance by Steve Buscemi as the Marietta Mangler, a serial killer who first appears in the film strapped to a chair with a mask, a la Hannibal Lecter
Nicholas Cage is also good as a very honourable guy who just wants to get home to his wife and child, but not at the expense of his fellow prisoners
This film is worth watching many times – its entertaining, sometimes funny and altogether brilliant!

“The Fugitive” Movie Review
“The Fugitive” Plot Summary
Dr. Richard Kimble, unjustly accused of killing his wife, must find the real one-armed killer while avoiding Marshal Sam Gerard.
Simply the Best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely Brilliant!!!!! 10/10
One of Harrison Ford’s most magnificant, significant and most highly acclaimed performances of his career. The Fugitive explores the themes of Justice and Betrayal from a murder case. Harrison Ford plays as Dr. Richard Kimble, a highly respected doctor in Chicago. He has all that he wants; a wife and a succesful promising career. But one night his life turned around. There is someone in his house………his wife is dead. Now he must run for his life to find the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. With a whole police force behind his back, he will not give up until he finds the man who killed his wife. Co-starring Tommy Lee Jones, this movie is one of the best thrillers out there. It makes us think hard on the themes portrayed in the movie and reminds us that Justice is not always achieved in our world. Harrison Ford’s extremely realistic performance as a man on the run, will keep you on the edge of your seat. This film is certainly a classic in the genre.

“Chicago” Movie Review
“Chicago” Plot Summary
Murderesses Velma Kelly (a chanteuse and tease who killed her husband and sister after finding them in bed together) and Roxie Hart (who killed her boyfriend when she discovered he wasn’t going to make her a star) find themselves on death row together and fight for the fame that will keep them from the gallows in 1920s Chicago. add synopsis
Great Fun
A near perfect adaptation of the Broadway smash featuring an all-star cast who somehow all do their own singing and dancing
One of the very Broadway crossovers in recent memory to actually do its job and entertain, and boy, does it ever! Chicago sucks you in at minute one and you don’t really come up for air until a half hour has passed. Now thats a good movie. Musicals, theater etc are hardly my cup of tea, and Hollywood’s opium dream renditions are even less in my scope of enjoyment. Why Chicago works where most of them have flopped utterly, I am not sure but would have to bet its down to direction. Chicago’s song and dance segments are cut MTV style, but, Marshall seems to have almost perfected this technique to somehow capture the in-theater dramatic ‘zowie’ feeling that almost never makes it from stage to screen. While many argue Chicago owe its success at the Oscars to the drubbing Moulin Rouge took (quite deservedly) the year before, I happen to disagree and believe that for once the Academy actually got it right. The cast is fantastic. Sure you can nitpick about Gere being too nasally and too Gere, and maybe Zellwegger’s drunken bridesmaid dancing could have used a couple more takes, but the final product even with those bizarre ingredients is one of the most enjoyable experiences to come out of Hollywood, maybe ever?

“Sgt. Bilko” Movie Review
“Sergeant Bilko” Plot Summary
This movie is a remake of the hit series which starred, Phil Silvers as Sgt. Bilko. In this movie, Bilko… add synopsis
I enjoyed it a lot
Steve Martin is larger than life in this very funny comedy. He plays the title character who is lazy, sleazy, clever and always one step ahead of everyone else he should be ahead of. He runs the motor pool like it would be run by someone from ‘Animal House’. They spend all their time gambling and sleeping it off
A new recruit (Darryl Mitchell, from ‘Galaxy Quest’ and ‘10 Things I Hate About You) does not understand his unprofessionalism as a military man so in some ways Darryl acts as the audience. Bilko has a girlfriend who is onto him but loves him in spite of herself. He constantly leaves her at the altar (‘I’m the only woman I know whose wedding dress is showing wear’) but its a game they play more than anything. Plot takes off when Phil Hartman shows up. He’s an old adversary of Bilko and wants to even an old score. He demands that Bilko and his men shape up and even starts romancing Bilko’s girlfriend, which of course drives Bilko crazy. Glenne Headley is perfectly cast as Bilko’s girlfriend. Unfortunately Phil Hartman is miscast and does not generate the laughs you’d hope for from this comic genius. Dan Ackroyd is very good too, but of course the movie belongs to Steve Martin. He’s an acquired taste, but so what. 8/10.

“Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” Movie Review
“Dodgeball” Plot Summary
A group of misfits enter a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament in order to save their cherished local gym from the onslaught of a corporate health fitness chain.
Great Fun!
Picked this up on DVD for ?3 ($6) – didn’t know anything about it We thought it one of the funniest films we’ve seen for some time. Thought I’d check out the rating and was surprised how low (6.6) it was. Then checked out some of the ‘Hated It’ comments to see why this could be I guess that a lot of people find this film offensive, with stereotypical attitudes – like how a bisexual woman could kiss both a man and a woman (an extraordinary observation). Or that it was unfair to poke fun at someone who spent all his waking hours dressed up as pirate. I think that comment came from a member of the Long John Silver Alliance
Lighten up! Comedy – like any other artistic endeavour is subjective – all I can say is that I laughed and found that at many points the jokes were coming faster than I could process them – always a good sign
A good combination of slapstick humour and smart-ass comments delivered at a rapid pace And an ever-popular theme: will the underdogs triumph? Watch it and find out
