“Charlie’s Angels” Movie Review

“Charlie’s Angels” Plot Summary

Three women, detectives with a mysterious boss, retrieve stolen voice-ID software, using martial arts, tech skills, and sex appeal. add synopsis

GREAT MOVIE!

I don’t understand why a lot of people didn’t like this movie. The fact is, if you didn’t like the main point of the TV series, or you don’t like the main concept of the movie, you shouldn’t see the movie! It was very colorful (to represent that its based off of the original TV series), it’s very well thought, and it’s good for entertainment! I loved this movie because they really made it seem similar to the TV series in different ways.

Yes, some of it may not make the best of logical sense, but it captures comedy, action, and romance. It is a fun movie and really interesting to keep your eyes glued to the screen! The acting is great, the script is well-written, and the direction of the director is really well done! 10 out of 10!

“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.

“The Tournament” Movie Review

“The Tournament” Plot Summary

Every seven years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 30 of the world’s deadliest assassins…

Very Entertaining

The Tournament is not a serious film, let me just get that out of the way. It comes off as serious, sometimes, but it’s always laughable. What this film is, is seriously entertaining. It’s surprisingly brutal, with some messy, blood dripping kills and far more human bodies exploding that you would believe. But the films is far from serious

What we get is a story about the thirty greatest assassins hunting each other down in a tournament for money. That’s about it. There’s something in there about revenge, betrayal, blah blah blah. Who cares really, right? Honestly, if you’re looking for some kind of emotional story, you’ve come to the wrong place. The plot conveys the always fun killers in a killing tournament type story, which you can find sprinkles of Smoking Aces, Battle Royale, and The Comdemned in. What the film does do right, most of all, is not hold back. There is gore galore here, with decapitations, bullet wounds, people exploding, and lots of fingers flying off

The films is seriously flawed, yes. Ving Rhames is laughable as he cries through most of the film. He’s made to be a total bad ass, but only delivers half the time. It’s especially hard to believe when you have a whole lot of bad asses running around who could easily take out Rhames. Most notable of these bad asses are Kelly Hu, in what could easily be called the lead role, who once again displays her talent for kicking ass. We also have Sebastien Foucan, a parkour wielding bad ass who has one of the best action scenes in the film, and Scott Adkins, whose brief appearance leaves a lasting impression as one of the best one on one battles in the film. Overall, this is just a film of a bunch of bad ass people kicking each others…well, you get the point

I’m not going to say this is a good film. I will say it’s well directed and well filmed. Fights were actually enjoyable, as the director wisely chose to avoid the all too commonly used shaky cam and close ups. The script is paper thin, yes, and the acting leaves a great deal to be desired. But once again, this is a film about bad asses being bad asses. Kicking said ass and taking names. So forget about all the Oscar worthy stuff. Just sit back and enjoy some, well, ass getting kicked. Cause it’s a hell of a ride.

    “Trainspotting” Movie Review

    “Trainspotting” Plot Summary

    Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends.

    One fantastic movie

    I saw this movie last year as a friend had it on DVD from the UK and, being a Ewan McGregor fan, I thought I’d give it a shot even though it’s considered an ‘artsy’ film. I was so shocked! It is a fantastic movie. I watched it over & over until she made me give it back. The young Ewan gives an Oscar-worthy (why he wasn’t nominated is beyond me) turn as the heroin addict trying to pull himself out and away from his addict buddies. He narrates the whole film with that rich Scot accent of his (reminds me of my Scottish grandparents) which gives even more depth to the characters and situations. The descent into the hell of addiction to the death of an innocent baby (very realistic) in their ‘home’, Ewan swimming through a vast sea of crap (yes, THAT kind) in a toilet, on through the entire film showing his constant struggle within himself amidst his friends to stay clean & sober is amazing. I could go on and on. It brings a memory of another film I saw years ago with a young Leo DiCaprio & David Thewlis in a little-seen movie called ‘Total Eclipse’ and which is also considered an ‘art’ film and really quite good. If you get a chance to see this, please do. You will not be sorry. If you happen to find it on DVD, BUY IT.
