“City of Ember” Movie Review

“City of Ember” Plot Summary

For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember’s once powerful generator is failing … and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker.

Creative fantasy adventure

My 11 year old son and I enjoyed this movie very much, perhaps because neither of us has read the book. Visually it was a treat to visit Ember, a handmade city with no cars, creative clothing and houses and a community where everyone knows you. It just looked so interesting. The movie got off to a quick start, giving just enough back-story to get the mystery of the plot going. I think it is predictable from the beginning that the kids will find a way out, but how they piece together the clues and the specifics of their escape are unravelled in exciting bits and pieces. The suspense worked on two levels- will they find the way out before the City collapses- and will they find the way out before ‘the law’ stops them? While all the actors did a fine job, I particularly enjoyed Saoirse as Lina. And the girls who played Poppy were adorable. My son said the same thing as other reviewers about the end- he would have liked to have seen the whole town pouring out into the light.

“Snakes on a Plane” Movie Review

“Snakes on a Plane” Plot Summary

An FBI agent takes on a plane full of deadly and poisonous snakes, deliberately released to kill a witness being flown from Honolulu to Los Angeles to testify against a mob boss. add synopsis

Enjoyable Flight

Another brilliant film from my most favourite director David R. Ellis after Final Destination 2 & Cellular. Snakes on a Plane is definitely one of my most favourite movies and the best film of 2006. Their has already been a lot of films with snakes like Anaconda, King Cobra and Python but they are all rubbish and with no story. This movie is nothing like them it has an amazing story and it’s very relentless. Samuel L. Jackson’s acting as usual was terrific and his line ‘Enough is enough! I have had it with these mother f**king snakes on this mother f**king plane!’ is a trademark of the film just like ‘I’ll be back’ in The Terminator. The rest of the actors are all new and not very well known but the boy who is the witness he was in Wolf Creek, the young blonde air hostess in first class was the alien Sarah in Species 3 and the girl in the bathroom with another boy was in Final Destination 3 one of the girls in the sun bed. It was about 1 hour 40 minutes and I enjoyed every second of it. I don’t know which the best scene is because it was good right from start to end and it is the kind of film that can be watched again & again. My verdict is 20/10.
