“Proof of Life” Movie Review

“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,

“War” Movie Review

“War” Plot Summary

An FBI Agent seeks vengeance on a mysterious assassin known as “Rogue” who murdered his partner.

Good fun, good action

Recap: FBI Agent Crawford and his partner Tom Lone happen to find themselves in the middle of a shootout between different factions of the Japanese mafia. Naturally they go in. Soon they find that one party is made up of the mysterious and feared assassin Rogue. It is only by Tom’s timely appearance that Crawford isn’t killed by Rogue. The yakuza, in revenge for Rogue kills Tom and his entire family. Since then Crawford has been on the hunt. Three years later Rogue appears again. But this time he has switched allegiance to the other faction. And suddenly Crawford and his agent find himself in the middle of a war

Comments: Just about what you would expect of a movie with both Statham and Li in it. Not very subtle but full of action, shoot-outs, fighting, car chases and explosions. It is high paced and delivers scene after action packed scene. If that’s what you want, you won’t be disappointed

Both Li and Statham are veterans in this kind of game and bring real solid performances. And I think Philip Atwell, who made his debut as full length movie director, did well too. He managed to keep the pace up and didn’t lose focus from the essential parts. There is a small element of surprise in there, but it is not given too much of attention, it just makes some interesting twists here and there.7/10

“Blood Work” Plot Summary

Still recovering from a heart transplant, a retired FBI profiler returns to service when his own blood analysis offers clues to the identity of a serial killer. add synopsis

Good mystery

Eastwood was his usual self, (good). The mystery was good and kept you thinking for most of the movie. The kid was good. The only drawback, the usual old man with a young woman

It would have been much more satisfying and truthful if he had been an (adopted’ grandpa.

    “Full Metal Jacket” Plot Summary

    A pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the Vietnam War has on his fellow Marine recruits from their brutal basic training to the bloody street fighting set in 1968 Hue, Vietnam.

    Full of Strength.

    ‘Seven-six-two millimeter. Full metal jacket.’ -Pvt. Leonard ‘Pyle’ LawrenceFull Metal Jacket is a great movie. Not the best from Kubrick, but works great as a war film. The plot is about a group of soldiers who are turned into killers in marine training, and are then sent off to the Vietnam War

    Kubrick once again does a great job at directing. Modine, D’Onofrio, Baldwin, and Howard give worthy performances, while Ermey gives an Oscar worthy (not even nominated) performance and steals the show. This is a very realistic look at Vietnam, while the battle scenes and script just aren’t as satisfying as they are in the second half. Still, it is a wonderful film.9/10.

    Will Ferrell at his best.

    Will Ferrell at his best

    Seriously Here, Ferrell plays a good ole country boy with rocks for brains and only one worry in the world and that’s winning. Sound like a familiar past TV character of his? Ferrell is also a Writer on this film with Director Adam McKay, who together have made a solid comedy team since those SNL days, including 2004’s ‘Anchor Man.’ But standing just as tall in this picture is the surprising man-about-town, Mr. Sasha Cohen (Borat, Ali G, Bruno) as Ricky Bobby’s French nemesis, Jean Girard. This guy is such a great character actor it was difficult to even spot him at first. But who else would be brave enough to kiss Ferrell on the lips?www.manwithavan.blogspot.com

    “Bowfinger” Movie Review

    “Bowfinger” Plot Summary

    When a desperate movie producer fails to get a major star for his bargain basement film, he decides to shoot the film secretly around him. add synopsis

    Entertaining Comedy

    was actually surprised that BOWFINGER got a mere average rating of 6.4 on this site because the IMDb is full of wannabe film makers who are gonna love a movie satirizing the Hollywood studios , a film both cruel and amusing in turn and it would be very interesting to see how the votes panned out . I’m sort of guessing here that the wannabees awarded it very high marks while the typical Eddie Murphy fans , casual film goers and those people who claim THE MUMMY RETURNS is the greatest film ever ( And no I’m not criticising anyones opinions and tastes ) would have given it relatively low marks . I’m guessing that it’s a possibly a film that unfortunately went above a lot of headsFirst off is the title BOWFINGER . What sort of image does that conjure up ? Possibly a James Bond spoof ala AUSTIN POWERS with lots of slapstick ? If you enjoy that sort of schoolboy humour you’ll be very disappointed . Likewise if you’re an Eddie Murphy fan because Murphy’s dual performance is very restrained here and all the better for it . It also has an opposite effect for people who don’t like Eddie Murphy ( Or for that matter Steve Martin ) very much but are people not keen on either Murphy or Martin going to watch this in the cinema ? I was very happy that the movie did relatively well on its initial release in 1999 because it certainly had the potential to be a flop at the cinema The premise is very simple: Film producer Bobby Bowfinger ( Martin ) has a knock back from Hollywood star Kit Ramsey ( Murphy ) so Bowfinger decides to secretly film him anyway and edit it into his movie . Thankfully the screenplay of BOWFINGER is developed well enough for maximum comic effect , Bowfinger is making a sci-fi movie so Kit finds himself facing aliens at one point and yes he genuinely believes they are real aliens . Bobby Bowfinger himself seems to have been based on the infamous Ed Wood while watching Kit attend the MindHead classes one is perhaps reminded of John Travolta or Tom Cruise and I don’t care what the critics say – Some of the gags like the scene with the dog in the underground car park are laugh out loud funny without ever going OTT All in all a fairly amusing satirical comedy that enjoys taking pokes at the American film industry and certainly one of the better films that have either starred Martin or Murphy

    “Donnie Brasco” Movie Review

    “Donnie Brasco” Plot Summary

    An FBI undercover agent infilitrates the mob and finds himself identifying more with the mafia life to the expense of his regular one. add synopsis

    A genius, genius movie! One of the best in gangster genre

    Johnny Deep plays an FBI agent Joe Pistone by the name Donnie Brasco infiltrates a New York mafia. Lefty Ruggiero played by Al Pacino acts like a mentor and even more as a father to him as Donnie/Joe goes deeper and deeper in the mafia world which will cause his life to become total dump

    The performances are excellent at best. Johnny Deep plays a good and honest man turned into a rough wise guy by the underworld perfectly. This is IMO one of Al Pacino’s best performances. The chemistry between him and Deep is genius! Michael Madsen is possibly the most underrated actor ever! He was genius in this, if not Oscar worthy

    Now the best thing is the writing. There are sooo many things that don’t have anything to do with the story but make the movie much more interesting. The dialog is very natural. It doesn’t have the over the top amount of F words like Casino or cheesy one liners like Scarface

    All in all an excellent gangster movie that’s not just for fans of gangster movie but mainstream audience.

    A funny, simple, sentimental movie.

    There’s not much complicated about this movie, and that’s a good thing. It’s a pretty simple fish-out-of-water plot, with Dundee (Paul Hogan, of course) doing an excellent job as a goodhearted, plainspoken, and cheerful Aussie in the Big City. Lots of great lines and funny moments, and the performances are all well done. Call me a sentimental fool, but the ending always makes me smile.

    “Moon 44″ Plot Summary

    Year 2038: The mineral resources of the earth are drained, in space there are fights for the last deposits on other planets and satellites… add synopsis

    A great Sci-Fi movie

    Hey, I’m really into Sci-Fi movies. I love any movies that have to do with Science Fiction, and are based in the future with unique settings

    Well I’d like to say that I’ve seen Moon 44 and consider it a great movie. I’d give this movie overall a 8/10. The reason for this is because of the cinematography. You cannot have a Sci-Fi movie without cinematography

    I consider the cinematography above average in Moon 44 because the director, even though on a short budget was able to create some neat scenery, of futuristic earth, space ships, fighter planes, the base itself and etc. This really caught my eye and made me feel like I was in the movie, like I was Felix Stone (Michael Pare).

    Now, I though this may sound crazy, but I have to be able to get into a movie to enjoy it, like I enjoyed Blade Runner because of the cinematography. I felt like I was in the movie, in Neo Angeles 2019 AD and as the main character. Same thing went for Star Wars and so on…….Even though Moon 44 was done in a foreign country and on a tight budget, I consider Moon 44 to be one of my Sci-Fi favorite flicks. The script could have used improvements, but overall it was a great movie. See it for yourself and tell me what you think. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as well.-Romeo
