“Perfect Stranger” Plot Summary
A journalist goes undercover to ferret out businessman Harrison Hill as her best friend’s killer. Posing as one of his temps, she enters into a game of online cat-and-mouse.
Good Different Movie
I actually enjoyed this movie.. i didn’t want to watch it at first because of all the bad reviews but i have no idea why people are bashing it so much.. the movie keeps you guessing like crazy and i keep hearing people talking about how offensive it is.. i have seen way worse movies when it comes to swearing and ’sex’ scenes and people have given these movies very high ratings. People that are saying this is an offensive movie need to get off their high horse.. reality is movies are like this now get over it and quit being so sensitive.. man.. I enjoyed this movie and i would say people should rent it.. if you are very easily offended by swearing and a few scenes here and there that are a little graphic then don’t watch it.. the movie is rated ‘R’ for a reason.. so no kids will be watching it unless parents allow them..

Better Than Excellent
I grew up in a military family and the first time I watched this film, it was more like a documentary to me than anything. I probably missed half this film in tears the first time I watched it. I’ve watched it now almost 50 times and it never looses it’s luster. Each actor/actress was chosen perfectly for their part…..what a movie, it says everything even on ‘mute’.

“Gattaca” Movie Review
“Gattaca” Plot Summary
A genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.
It’s the little things that tell you you’ve found quality!
I rented this film cold at the video store — and was very pleasantly surprised with a very well done movie. If you don’t know anything else about Gattaca, the less you know, the better. Stop reading this review right now, go watch it, and come back when you’re done!It was after my first viewing of the film that several little details dawned on me:1) The term ‘borrowed ladder’ is a utterly-brilliantly-conceived bit of future slang that carries a *double meaning*. I’m still amazed that the producers didn’t make more of this. Instead, they were content to leave this gem to be discovered by the thinking and missed by the vast masses. I was very definitely impressed. 2) As I was explaining the film to my wife, it occurred to me in mid-explanation that this is really a film that has to do with what is properly called =eugenics=; one of the things the Nazis were about. Then my mind wandered to word etymologies: I recalled that the name ‘Eugene’ = ‘well born.’ And then I realized…!!!3) It’s interesting the extent to which so many of the characters in the film *didn’t* live up to their genetic destiny, one way or another.4) Because I hadn’t seen any previews, I had no immediate reference for where the name ‘Gattaca’ had come from. And then I suddenly realized…!!!5) It wasn’t until I watched the movie the second time that I caught the effects with the title sequence letters…Now I had figured out by this time that there were likely to be other intriguing little details I’ve missed, so I was fascinated to read from another reviewer here about the boy Vincent falling with a toy rocket in his hand. I wonder what else is in there?All in all, this is a very well written, tightly woven movie. Seen cold, with no real prior knowledge of the film, it came off as a tremendous science-fiction SUSPENSE THRILLER. There were several scenes that just had me climbing the walls with tension. Fabulous job!And I’m not the only one who thinks so. When my WIFE says she wants to see a SCIENCE FICTION movie for the SECOND TIME… well, I don’t think THAT has EVER happened before!

“Up in the Air” Movie Review
“Up in the Air” Plot Summary
With a job that has him traveling around the country firing people, Ryan Bingham leads an empty life out of a suitcase, until his company does the unexpected: ground him.
A Very Significant Film.
I’m not a particularly big fan of romantic comedies but after hearing positive feedback from the critics (Particularry Roger Ebert) and that it had themes of our economic recession I felt that that it wouldn’t hurt to see it, My expectations were surpassed and it is now, in my opinion, one of the best films of the year
Ryan Bingham is an socially isolated Corprate downsizing expert whom also gives motivational speeches on how to ‘unpack your backpack’ which is essentially a metaphor for people and things in life holding you back from your dreams (I can relate to his character because I tend to isolate myself too), When a young naive woman comes up with a way of conveniently firing people online with no travel costs, Bingham must teach Kendrick’s character the dignity of their work, being there for them rather than coldly firing them on a messaging device. Clooney’s Character was compelling and his performance brilliant, Vera Farmiga & Anna Kendrick also played convincing roles but Clooney’s cynical performance stole the show though as the film progressed he showed a more emotional human side to him which makes me feel he deserves a nomination for Best Actor
The best element in this film is the screenplay, It intelligently blends cynical pessimistic wit and emotional drama in a very unique way that I rather enjoyed, I hope it gets some recognition at the Oscars a win, if not a nomination
This film contains themes of human relationships, life choices, the indoctrination of technology in our society, isolation, family support and our economic recession and the themes are not blatantly shoved down our throats. This film is smart, witty and emotional. In my opinion this film is one of the best films of the year, 8/10.

“Constantine” Movie Review
“Constantine” Plot Summary
Based on the DC/Vertigo comic book Hellblazer and written by Kevin Brodbin, Mark Bomback and Frank Capello, Constantine tells the story of irreverent supernatural detective John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), who has literally been to hell and back.
Excellent fantasy/horror movie
I’ve seen Constantine three times and I enjoy it more each time I watch it! It is truly well-done and extremely entertaining, and I can guarantee that if you like horror, suspense and/or fantasy you will love this movie! Keanu Reeves plays a very cool Constantine, who is a modern-day exorcist but most certainly not to be confused with a priest, as he has his issues and a burden of sins from his past that he carries with him. Constantine is a very realistic and human hero who is devoid of superpowers but has all the cool gadgets and the kick-ass attitude needed to survive in a world slowly being invaded by demons and scheming angels. He meets Angela (Rachel Wiesz) after she loses her sister, Isabel to the forces of evil. She comes to Constantine in search of an answer on where Isabel has ended up following her apparent suicide. Constantine journeys to other realms/dimensions in an attempt to get those answers, even paying a couple of visits to hell. Needless to say, with such a plot the special effects, acting, sets, script and even wardrobe have to be carefully conceived and executed to make it believable, and they are… in spades
Constantine achieves what all great movies always do: it takes you into another world that makes you forget everything about your own world the whole time you are watching it. And really, in the end, isn’t that what great cinema is all about?

“Men of Honor” Plot Summary
The story of Carl Brashear, the first African American, then also the first amputee, US Navy Diver and the man who trained him.
Pretty Good Film!
I think that this film is a good movie. There are some boring parts and some really good parts. Most of the time, I was attached to this movie. Everyone in this movie did a really good job
This film is based on the life of Carl Brashear. He was going to be first at two things. He was going to be the first black Navy diver and the first diver to dive with a prosthetic leg
The acting is really good. I liked Robert De Niro so much. He is a truly deserving actor and he showed what a great actor he is. I liked Cuba Gooding Jr. as Brashear. He gave a memorable performance
Overall, this film is a good movie. Some parts even moved me somewhat especially some scenes towards the end. This is a nice biographical movie. I rate this film 8/10.

“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” Movie Review
“P.O.T.C. 3″ Plot Summary
Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.
At World’s End
The more I think about this movie, the more I like it. This is strange, considering my low expectations. The first film was fun, and I was very happy to see swashbuckling returning to movies, but I never really bought into the script. I wasn’t convinced that pirates were some sort of blood-bound ‘race’, and I was powerfully confused by the distance between and physical relationships of various locations. But, still good fun. The second film just kind of made me mad; I loved the ending, but it was just one example of how much it was a standard sequel: every single quirk of the first film was referenced, every single character had to return, and it HAD to be structured – nay, plotted – like Empire Strikes Back. This included re-introducing the Han Solo-Leia love story where the female lead wants the anti-hero, just to appease all the screaming Johnny Depp fans. It begged to be liked, but aside from a great score, great effects, and some very funny moments, it just came off as trite
And then we get At World’s End, which has everything you could possibly want in a pirate fantasy film: Legendary ships riddling each other with cannon fire in a whirlpool, screaming buccaneers swinging from one ship to the next, sword-fights on crow’s nests, and all that in about fifteen minutes. The rest is an admittedly convoluted story that is much more clearly plotted than the second film, while still taking breaks for letting us spend time with characters we weren’t so sure about last time, but are once again fond of. Maybe it’s Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa, or the overall simplicity of the plot, but it just worked, and I had a great time
I was legitimately surprised and concerned at what the plot did with our heroes and villains, and was very satisfied with everyone’s status in the end. I guess I wouldn’t mind seeing another Pirates movie now, but I kind of think everything that needs to be done is in this film
I can’t wrap up without mentioning the very nice abstract stuff Verbinksi and co. did with the journey to Davey Jones’ Locker. It takes guts to do really surreal stuff with a $300 million Happy Meal blockbuster, but they really did some new, interesting things with their bottomless bag of tricks

“Ransom” Plot Summary
When a rich man’s son is kidnapped, he cooperates with the police at first but then tries a unique tactic against the criminals.
What a great film!
I loved this movie. Mel Gibson is just totally great in this film, like most others. But really, the fact that he didn’t get Best Actor for this was a shame!Warning Possible Spoilers. This is my first review so I’m not quite sure how much I should say
So anyways, I’ll assume you’ve already seen this but if you haven’t, well would you be surprised to know that this is about a kidnapping! As an airline exec. Mel has made some enemies’ and one day his son is taken by Gary Sinise & Co. Well, at first Mel cooperates but he soon thinks that he’ll never see his son again, alive anyways, if he pays. What follows is a spectacular scene in which Mel dedicates his life to finding and terribly murdering those responsible. Thing is Gary is a cop and is that a great cover or what!Even if you don’t like Mel still rent this one. You’ll love it!

“From Hell” Movie Review
“From Hell” Plot Summary
In Victorian Era London, a troubled clairvoyant police detective investigates the murders by Jack The Ripper. add synopsis
Surprisingly decent Jack the Ripper themed horror flick
Many interpretations of Jack the Ripper’s allegory have been delineated throughout the horror genre’s past era, and while ‘From Hell’ may not be the best, it portrays the historical events in a satisfactory manner. This particularly accurate account of the London serial killer shifts it’s focus between different sets of people residing in the Whitechapel District in 1888 – most interestingly, a circle of poverty stricken prostitutes who went on to become The Ripper’s unsuspecting victims while an impassive detective works at uncovering the identity of the elusive butcher. Several strewed instances of the killer, behind closed doors, are also eerily shown, as well as the much likely generalization pertaining to his identification and overall motive. ‘From Hell’ is far better from what you would expect from a Hollywood bio-flick, since it hardly embellishes any character or fabricates much of the story; remarkably cultivating a bleak and completely ‘unsafe’ tone throughout. The London streets always covey a feeling of deep menace, even without Jack prowling around, slashing up those rough n’ tumble whores. Johnny Depp, an actor who has never ‘wowed’ to any real extremes, is surprisingly subdued in his role as an opium addicted cop who never really steals the show away, as I initially expected. Heather Graham is way too smokin’ hot, and kind of looks like a fish-out-of-water among all those raggedy hookers, though I needs me some hot, red-headed eye candy every now and again (though she doesn’t get naked, unfortunately). Strangely, the real star here is the dark entity of The Ripper, whom we really only see for short amounts of time, though his presence is strong and the scenes where he entices harlots with grapes and opium laced shots before gouging the hell out of them is creepy… Also a good deal of bloodshed here, though often stylish during the murders, themselves (namely the luminescent flash of a blade in the dark, accompanied by CG blood spatter), the aftermath is pretty gruesome, even if quite subtle, aside from grisly descriptions of vaginal mutilation and symbolic intestinal extraction. Jack’s fifth and final murder, though significantly altered for a moderately happy ending, is brutal looking and anyone who as seen the actually crime scene photos while vouch for that. And be sure to keep an eye out for Joseph Merrick (aka. The Elephant Man) who makes a brief cameo! ‘From Hell’ is a fairly truthful biographical film, despite it’s ‘Hollywood’ attitude, and is well worth a look for Ripper enthusiasts.

“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.
