    FAST PACED EXCITING MOVIE

    I went to see THE ITALIAN JOB with mixed reviews in my head. I was pleasantly surprised with an entertaining close to 2 hours. I thought the cast was just great and so were the special effects, with the safe and truck just dropping out of sight. If you like fast paced action movies, this is the one to see.

    “Max Payne” Movie Review

    “Max Payne” Plot Summary

    Coming together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a police detective whose family was slain as part of a conspiracy and an assassin out to avenge her sister’s death. The duo will be hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.

    liked the game, loved the movie

    I went into Max Payne thinking I was in for another disappointment when it comes to video games being brought to the big screen, I was wrong. I’ve played the game and I thought it was okay. It seemed more like the Matrix games than anything original, but I digress. I was wowed by the film in the way they actually made it a story and make you actually care for the main character. That hasn’t happened for me since the first Mortal Kombat film, but then the second one sucked so bad I almost cried

    The only reason I didn’t rate this higher is that the film takes at least 20 mins to really get going, but after that it sucks you right in. I loved the whole soldiers taking a liquid drug to make them feel invincible to the whoever they were at war with, which sometimes feels like that could be coming around the corner any day now. When the head bad guy starts acting like he’s some kind of god from the drugs I started thinking ‘Can’t wait till Payne kicks his Ass!’ As a story, I think it is a clever mystery story including fabled occult beliefs from the Norse mythology and when Max starts seeing them after taking the drug to get to the bad guys is pretty friggin’ sweet. I felt the film ended as good as any film noir could end after the resolution of the characters. I can’t wait to buy it on DVD and watch it again. That’s all I have for now. See ya next time.

    “The Perfect Storm” Movie Review

    “The Perfect Storm” Plot Summary

    An unusually intense storm pattern catches some commercial fishermen unaware and puts them in mortal danger.

    Greatest Film i saw that summer

    I remember reading this book a year ago, it was superb. It will remain in my library as long as i have one. I saw the movie a short while afterwards (i picked up the book when the shooting for the film was just ending). I purposely refused to read the critic’s reviews until i had seen it. Honestly, it was one of the most magnificent films i had seen in a theater. It had plenty of action and suspense, but held a sturdy plot, unlike most Willis or Stallone films currently. It’s previous existence in book form helped it I’m sure. Clooney adopts a rugged look and sound that would make you think he’d never appear on a Teen magazine. Mark Wahlberg is also an extraordinary actor in this film, it’s good to see him go so far in just these past few years. The volume jumps around a little (a personal pet-peeve of mine), but the sound effects and computer graphics on the waves are magnificent. The only thing that bothered me was the constant jokes and ego-boosting coming from the group of teenagers near me. I’m sure this will be fixed with any video or DVD version though :) Afterwards, i did read the reviews, many were sub-par. Often, the professional critics commented on the physics of the waves and visibility in weather conditions… Please don’t forget that this is a movie. For the sake of entertainment, sacrifice the details (you’ll only notice them if you’re a fisherman anyway).

    “Saw II” Movie Review

    “Saw 2″ Plot Summary

    Jigsaw locks a few unlucky people in a booby trapped shelter and they must find a way out before they inhale too much of a lethal nerve gas and die. But they must watch out, for the traps Jigsaw has set in the shelter lead to death also.

    The Best Sequel since Friday the 13th

    So far this is the best sequel I’ve seen since 1981. Friday the 13th was the last time I’ve seen a sequel that in some ways was better than it is original. That’s saying something considering that Friday the 13th was a three star classic. Halloween and Scream had good sequels no mistake about that, but it doesn’t have the same impact that Saw 2 and Jason part 2 had in developing a separate identity from the first entry. Saw 2 really didn’t disappoint in finding an identity. Actually the identity was found in this version. The first Saw was sick and it’s only horror competition is the lackluster wannabe the Ring and Grudge series. I’m a horror fan and it’s been hard to find a scary movie ever since the start of the 1980s. The best films came out of the 70s and the only successful horror franchises that could actually scare somebody was Friday the 13th and Scream bar none. I like Saw because it’s a cult flick that doesn’t give a damn and it’s unique with a dark camera. Its about time we’ve had a series that separates itself from the ghost era those movies couldn’t even pay me to be scared. Saw could be the next big thing since Scream and could easily represent the 2000s as a horror heel. If you’re looking for that next big series that catches your attention and I don’t mean The Fog, which in ways was a great flick don’t look any further than Saw, which out does itself. Grade A from me most definitely.

    “Happening” Plot Summary

    A strange, horrible and unprecedented crisis begins in Central Park. A high school science teacher, his wife and a young girl do what they can to survive it.

    wow!

    This was one of the most unfulfilling experiences i have had in the last 10 years! Honestly who decided this should be released to the public and why. a B list star cast doesn’t make a block buster it evidently just makes for a BUST. M night shyamalan has never put out a stunning film and this is no exception. i feel taken for a ride and dropped off dumbfounded. i should have known better, I could write a film about getting wasted and renting this movie (which is exactly what happened) and im pretty sure as long as it had one of the Wahlburgs in it i would it would be a smash! in conclusion, some of the worst acting i have seen from Hollywood, appalling writing, and over all else a terrible plot.

    i need a drink!

    “The Lovely Bones” Movie Review

    “The Lovely Bones” Plot Summary

    Centers on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family – and her killer – from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.

    Lovely Fantasy Thriller

    I honestly don’t know why The Lovely Bones has gotten so many bad reviews on this site. The entire cast was exceptional especially Stanley Tucci as the creepy killer. Miss Ronan was very good as Susie the unfortunate victim. She appears to be an actress to watch for in the future. Susie is a 14 year old girl who is murdered and finds herself in a world that is somewhere in between heaven. She stays in this world to somehow contact her family into knowing who killed her. The fantasy ‘heaven’ sequences are well done. They make you believe there is such a place. The film gradually builds up suspense. The ending will have you on the edge of your seat when Susie’s sister goes snooping in the killer’s house. I didn’t expect much after reading some of the negative reviews but it just goes to show that you have to see it for yourself. This is one of the best films so far this year.

    Great movie!!!

    Good movie, actors, and plot…what more would you need? Nothing in this movie is lacking definition or explanation….it’s all right there! The only part that needs description is the ending, but it’s just a great leading into the sequel, which obviously there will be. I don’t think anyone should criticize this movie unless this is the kind of movie they like. Also, all you old POTA fans, you can’t compare this one to the original. The only thing in common is the basic plot….it’s not the same movie!!! So I think anyone who likes this type of genre of movies really will like this movie, but only see it if it interests you, not because you like the old POTA because it’s just not the same.

    Best movie for a long time

    This film truely shows the mastermind of Clint Eastwood. This is not only the his best movie so far, but also the best movie of this genre for a long time

    If Sean Penn does not get an Oscar for his performance, then this institution becomes questionable to me.

    “The Departed” Movie Review

    “The Departed” Plot Summary

    Two men from opposite sides of the law are undercover within the Massachusetts State Police and the Irish mafia, but violence and bloodshed boil when discoveries are made, and the moles are dispatched to find out their enemy’s identities.

    Exciting, writhing mole thriller

    An enjoyable, pacy film. It’s let down a bit with rather rudimentary, unlovely filming and a Michael Mann-like unintelligibility in the way in which the script is delivered

    But the performances are worth the price of a theatre ticket alone. Leonardo diCaprio is excellent, the equal of a striking Jack Nicholson. Ray Winstone’s accent is rubbish, but the rest of his performance is as good as the best. Matt Damon, Martin Sheen and (‘newcomer’) Vera Farmiga bring up a good seond tier of support acts… but Mark Wahlberg’s performance is as bad as his hair piece (yes, hair piece).

    It’s also a peculiarly edited film. Sequences even as short as a few seconds can be made up of many different shots. Scorsese grafts the whole together with a carefully selected and dovetailed soundtrack. It’s a very fluid, even slippery way of pulling the film together, but it lends itself to the duplicitousness of characters and film alike. 7/10
