“Scarface” Plot Summary
In 1980 Miami, a determined Cuban immigrant takes over a drug empire while succumbing to greed. (Cartel not Mafia)
Timeless Great
Whilst a little long, ‘Scarface’ produced a movie well worth the old perusal. Al Pacino was his regular solid self, and Michelle Pfeiffer fairly ordinary which is to be expected. The degree of violence and swearing in the movie was an indication of the direction these kind of movies were taking as the eighties rolled into the nineties. This is another movie you can’t help but admire the wardrobe on. The sheer arrogance of the manner the leads wear their clothes allows them to pull off a look that is laughable, yet amazingly stylish. One must applaud such a show. On top of all this, a well directed and written script allows the audience into what is quite likely an accurate portrayal of the Miami underworld.

“The Silence of the Lambs” Movie Review
“The Silence of the Lambs” Plot Summary
A young FBI cadet must confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer to receive his help on catching another serial killer who skins his victims.
It’s a classic!
There is little doubt that the most memorable aspect of The Silence of the Lambs is Anthony Hopkins’ incomparable performance as Lecter. Taking over for Brian Cox, who was effective, but not especially memorable, as the good doctor in 1986’s Manhunter, Hopkins instantly makes the role his own, capturing and conveying the charismatic essence of pure evil. To his dying day, no matter how many roles he plays in the interim, Hopkins will forever be known for this part. (It is a credit to Hopkins’ ability as an actor that this part did not result in stereotyping. His post-Silence career has been greatly varied, with roles as widely diverse as a stodgy butler in Merchant-Ivory’s The Remains of the Day and an action hero in The Edge.) I can throw out any number of superlatives, but none of them do justice to this chilling performance, which I labeled as the best acting work of the ’90s. Want to feel the icy fingers of terror stroke your heart? Watch this mixture of brilliant eloquence and inhuman cruelty. As portrayed by Hopkins, Hannibal is both a suave, cultured gentleman and an unspeakable fiend. He is gracious and monstrous at the same time. (Hopkins also provided one of the most quotable lines in recent film history with ‘I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti’, which was followed by an inimitable slithering slurp.)

“Abyss” Movie Review
“Abyss” Plot Summary
A civilian diving team are enlisted to search for a lost nuclear submarine and face danger while encountering an alien aquatic species.
Deeply Amazing
Dear Readers,
One of my favorite Sci-Fi films is The Abyss, a deep water action/adventure film by the master of Science Fiction, James Cameron. A stunning thriller filmed almost entirely underwater and one of the first films to feature CGI effects. But it’s not the special effects that define this film. It’s the plot, the script, the characters, and the direction.
The Abyss begins with a US Nuclear Submarine encountering an anomaly in the ocean, causing them to crash into a trench at the bottom of the ocean. The US Navy is powerless to reach them because of an incoming Hurricane. So instead they hire a group of underwater oil miners led by Virgil ‘Bud’ Brigman. Brigman’s soon-to-be-ex-wife, Lindsay, infuriated that her underwater oil rig is being used for a military operation, tags along with a group of Navy SEALS led by the cold Lieutenant Coffey. As they investigate the Sub wreckage, the Divers and the SEALS encounter a power living down in the Abyss…A power with the ability to save the world or destroy it.
James Cameron outdoes himself with this underwater thriller and so does the cast. You get inside each of the characters heads and see each their points of view. Ed Harris plays his role quietly and coolly, playing a man who’s become bitter from losing his wife and questioning whether there is life at the bottom of the ocean. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is awesome as Lindsay Brigman, a dedicated engineer and scientist determined to prove that the life at the bottom of the Abyss is not a threat to mankind. Michael Biehn steals the show, though, as the slowly-going-insane Lieutenant Coffey. Not since watching Platoon have I seen such insanity in a man. Gone is the cool charming character of Kyle Reese and instead is a man who will kill anything that threatens his mission.
Point blank: Watch this film.
Signed, The Constant DVD Collector, Matt Macleod
Parental Warning: There’s some mild swearing and tense moments, but there’s also a scene of nudity as well. I recommend not letting your kids see this if they’re under teenage years. You be the judge.

“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).

“Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” Movie Review
“Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” Plot Summary
When Robin and his Moorish companion come to England and the tyranny of the Sheriff of Nottingham, he decides to fight back as an outlaw. add synopsis
Just one word: Brilliant!!
***MAY CONTAIN LITTLE SPOILERS***I watched ‘The Prince of Thieves’ once again two days ago and it is still one of the most brilliant movies ever made. Despite the fact the crew had so many obstacles while making the film
Robin of Locksley (Kevin Costner) returns to England from his crusades with a Maori warrior Azeem (outstanding Morgan Freeman) and finds out that the evil sheriff of Nottingham (superb Alan Rickman) has taken over his fathers lands. From that one there begins a war to make a difference in sheriff’s terrorizing Nottingham. Robin becomes Hood and he is fighting to give the good days back to the people as they deserve it. There is a little bit of everything in the film. There is adventures, excitement, romance, humor, action. Everything you could ever wish from the great, enjoyable film! If you liked ‘The Adventures of Robin Hood’ starring by Errol Flynn you will also enjoy this timeless story about the man who stole from the rich and gave it to the poor!The film making was a struggle right from the start. The producers had some difficulties to hire a competent director to the job. Even the production manager and the other heads of department were hired before the director. There was a bit hurry to make ‘Prince of Thieves’ because there was two other Robin Hood pictures coming. They were just like in a race. Then a man called Kevin Reynolds was hired to the job of directing. Then the production team was short of lead actor to play Robin. Other major parts Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman and Christian Slater were already in place. Robin Wright was replaced with Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio to play Maid Marian because of Wright’s pregnancy. Then there came Kevin Costner. He only signed up for the job because of Kevin Reynolds. After casting everybody the working team came across the difficulty of the lack of enough time. There was also some rough times between Costner and Reynolds. Even the guys had some disagreement the film opened in the year 1991 and managed to snatch a 25 million dollars at the opening weekend and was later going to bag 390 million dollars worldwide. Not bad if the production had some of bad critic and problems behind them. Obviously even Costner and Reynolds managed to put their hatred aside because later they teamed up in the flop ‘Waterworld’ which was by the way then (1995) the most expensive movie in the world! (Whopping 175 million dollars spent) Even if the film contains some of the most disturbing mistakes in film making it does not effect on the result. So what if Robin’s hair is suddenly turn from wet to dry and again back to wet it does not reflect to the essence of this marvelous piece of history. It is worth waiting the last scene where legendary Sean Connery makes an appearance as King Richard the Lionheart! (Connery donated his 400,000 dollar fee to charity)The legendary and undying ballad ‘Everything I Do (I Do It For You) by Bryan Adams is the best movie theme song in the history of film making!Worth to watch with it’s faults and all!
