“Transformers” 2007 by Michael Bay – Movie Review
If you think that good battle-robots Autobots and bad battle-robots Decepticons have landed on our dearest planet Earth in 2007 – you’re strongly mistaken. Because they came to our world in the times of the notorious Moscow Olympiad-80, when suddenly bubble-gum and coca-cola appeared in Moscow for the first time. Although the robots landed not in Moscow but in Japan. That is where these amusing robots-transformers were invented. They were the models of different automobiles which then could be transformed into battle robots.
Autobots
The American toy company Hasbro got interested in these toys and bought the rights to produce them in the US. Interested in the American toy company Hasbro, and then bought the rights to their production in the States. Due to the fact that they approach marketing in the USA with all the possible seriousness. That’s why these nameless by the time auto-robots received their personal names. Which is more, they received a whole history explaining which planet they came form and what they do here. Well, and thirdly, the whole comics industry started hard work on creating the epci story of the planet Cybertrone on which the good robots Autobots under the leadership of brave General Optimus Prime (originally it was Prime Time but later reduced to simply Prime) are fighting against the bad robots Decepticons headed by an treacherous Megatron.
Thus, everyone was happy: Hasbro sold megatons of transformers, the Marvel company produced mountains of comics, and Sunbow Production crafted animated cartoons about the adventures of elusive Autobots behind the Decepticons’ enemy line. In the end Sunbow even produced full-length animated film “Transformers” in which Autobots and Decepticons arrive on Earth and start all kinds of battles, while a guy named Spike is helping our folks Autobots. But the movie was a failure. Why? Either due to the fact that there were too many robots and too few people, or due to the fact that the kids already got fed up with transformers – it is hard to say. After that the Transformers have almost disappeared – people lost interested in them. The new type of heroes has settled in the kids’ hearts – Spiderman, Pokemons and the like, resulting in the transformers being forgotten in the far corners of dusty garages. Nobody was interested in the fate of the planet Cybertron anymore.

However, in the mid-nineties Hasbro managed to revive the interest in the transformers. They invented a new concept: robots can now be transformed into animals. After that when the creators imagination started to blossom with new models, the kids’ interest woke up again, resulting in creating fan-communities which could fiercely argue upon which transformer is more cool – a hamster/crocodile or eagle/ram type.

“Proof of Life” Movie Review
“Proof of Life” Plot Summary
Alice hires a professional negotiator to obtain the release of her engineer husband, who has been kidnapped by anti-government guerrillas in South America. add synopsis
A good and very entertaining thriller with Russell Crowe
While building a dam in ‘Tecala’, a country situated in the Andes, the chief America engineer ‘Peter Bowman’ (David Morse), is captured by anti-government forces during a raid in the capital. When the rebels discover their identity require $3 million to return safe and sound. However, the company of ‘Peter’, based in Houston, is on the brink of bankruptcy and has canceled the insurance policy against kidnappings, so it cannot provide the money for their rescue. Abandoned by the company, ‘Alice’ (Meg Ryan), the wife of ‘Peter’, must cope with the situation by your account. She hires the services of the negotiator of hostages professional ‘Terry Thorne’ (Russell Crowe), a veteran of SAS, which in recent years has dealt with numerous kidnappings.’Proof of Life’ is a film little considered due to high expectations for its attractiveness argument and that is the first film of Russell Crowe after the great success throughout the world with ‘Gladiator.’ But its director Taylor Hackford has not sought a film committed and complaint, only has sought to expose through a current problem, a simple thriller and fairly, conventional with good scenes of action. Its objective is achieved by far, but it is not at all what has been expected of this film
In terms of its scenes of action, they are very successful and generous, with some contribution of tension well managed. The film is conventional within this genre of films. It has not nothing to do not have seen before, but it knows expose very well the action, although the fabric loving can be considered very secondary fulfills its mission,

“Kate & Leopold” Movie Review
“Kate and Leopold” Plot Summary
Kate and her actor brother live in N.Y. in the 21st Century. Her ex-boy friend, Stuart, lives above…
Typical Romantic Comedy With A Twist Of Time Travelling
‘Kate and Leopald’ is a typical romantic comedy, only this time one of the protagonists travels from the 30s (?) to modern day New York. It’s clear that one shouldn’t expect anything more than laughter and a few mushy moments of love from this film and that is the case. If one watches it with lower expectations, it can be quite enjoyable. I liked the Hugh Jackman – Meg Ryan pairing. They both share the required chemistry and provide some of the nicer moments. Ryan plays her usual romcom city lass persona (and I haven’t tired myself from seeing her in such roles…yet but I now prefer to see her in different genres ). Hugh Jackman has a knack for comedy and he should do more such films if given a more intelligent script. Breckin Meyer and Liev Schreiber are great. To further prevent yourself from getting irritated, quit analyzing the film as there are several plot holes and some situations seem chopped. You can ask lots of question like how Leopold adapts to modern New York so quickly or how would an ultra-modern Kate (who’s never travelled) make it in 30’s (?) England (?) So one could enjoy it a little if they suspend their beliefs. even so, the ending seems a little too abrupt (predictable as it is). In spite of the flaws, there are the few nice moments and the few funny moments that don’t make it all that bad.

“Top Gun” Plot Summary
The macho students of an elite US Flying school for advanced fighter pilots compete to be best in the class, and one romances the teacher.
Fun, entertaining and unbelievable!
Most of the comments about this movie are more unbelievable than the picture itself. Some are saying it’s the greatest movie which is far from true. On the other side are the cinema snobs who won’t let themselves enjoy this motion picture. This movie may require much more ’suspension of disbelief ‘ than most but the fact that many are still enjoying it says plenty about its entertainment value.

“Legend” Movie Review
“Legend” Plot Summary
A young man must stop the Lord of Darkness from both destroying daylight and marrying the woman he loves.
Mediocre Film That Looks Great . . .
‘Legend’, The Director’s Cut (1985/2002), Unrated, One Hour & 54 Minutes –and– U.S. Theatrical Version (1986), Rated ‘PG’ by the MPAA, One Hour & 30 Minutes. Content includes: Mild Adult Language, Some Mild Sexual Innuendos, Violence and Some Disturbing Imagery
My Take ** (Out of ****) or 6/10 on the IMDb Scale.’Legend’ is triumph of art direction, make-up, costume and set design. It’s a great movie to look at, but not much else. That goes for both versions of the picture, The Director’s Cut or the U.S. Theatrical Version.’Legend’ wants to be a mythical fairy tale. It tells of Darkness (Tim Curry), a demonic overlord, who has been banished from the world to his dark kingdom to reign in exile. The world is a beautiful place of perpetual springtime, complete with sunshine, tweeting birds, pollen in the air and tree blossoms in abundance. The world is kept pure and protected by two unicorns who both harbor goodness, truth and light
However, Darkness is plotting his return to the world for a hostile takeover. If his lackeys can take out the two unicorns, then Darkness will once again rise to dominate the world. This is not very appealing to Jack (Tom Cruise), a young man who lives in a storybook forest. Jack shares a romance of innocence with the lovely maiden Lily (Mia Sara). When Darkness makes his move for world domination, the world is plunged into a chaotic dark winter. Darkness kidnaps Lily to corrupt her and make her his dark bride. It’s up to Jack and his motley crew of fairy friends to put the kabash on Darkness before all hope is lost . . .Sounds like the groundwork for a fun picture, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, that’s not the case. For as visually arousing as the film is, it’s highly underdeveloped. ‘Legend’ is all style, with no substance. That’s too bad. Everything looks great and the adventure could have been a really great one too
One problem with ‘Legend’ is you don’t care about anyone or anything in it. There’s nothing interesting, funny, witty or imaginative about any of the characters, except for maybe Darkness. We’ve all seen this kind of story before: Evil is out to vanquish good, the young lad becomes a hero to save the girl and set the wrong things right. It’s a timeless story. No doubt, we’ll keep seeing it time and time again. When it’s done right, we love it. A good example would be the original ‘Star Wars’ (1977). But ‘Legend’ doesn’t do it right. We’re not gripped in the slightest
Tom Cruise as Jack spends a great deal of the picture looking scared or bewildered. Sara Mia, better known as Matthew Broderick’s girlfriend in ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ (1986), is an adequate damsel in distress. Naive, but nice. The scene stealer is Tim Curry as Darkness. He looks great! He is layered in make-up and paint, but he truly looks like the devil, complete with gigantic horns, goat ears, red skin, yellow eyes, a Charles Atlas figure and goat legs. Oddly enough, Curry’s performance shines though the latex making Darkness convincing as a sinister presence
As indicated, the rest of the characters are fairly one dimensional cliches from other (& better) fantasy tales. They’re only here as plot devices, completely devoid of any other purpose, to get you through the movie from Point ‘A’ to Point ‘B’. You don’t care for them or empathize with them in any way or about their plight. To make a movie like this work, you should at least care about the outcome of it’s characters. If you don’t, then what’s the point of watching it in the first place? The Director’s Cut is more whimsical. It’s about 24 minutes longer and has extended dialog with longer scenes. Most notably, this version firmly establishes the lovely Lily as a princess, while the American version is decidedly ambiguous about her background. Also notable is Lily’s singing in the forest and to the unicorns. This is more storybook like and I suppose this behavior is to be expected of maidens
The Director’s Cut boasts a lyrical score by Jerry Goldsmith. It’s beautifully done and serves the storybook aspect of ‘Legend’ very well
The U.S. version is scored by the rock group Tangerine Dream. What I liked about this score is that it’s a departure from what is traditionally heard in this kind of picture. I thought this score was a fresh approach to the ‘fairy-tale’/’storybook’ genre
Director Ridley Scott has described his director’s version of ‘Legend’ as being the more sophisticated of the two versions. In some ways he’s right. Then again, both versions of the picture are rather muddled and lack coherence or any real direction. Both pictures feel choppy, unrealized and cobbled together from other fantasies minus the spark that makes the good ones work in the first place
Does ‘Legend’ have a saving grace? It’s a visual roller-coaster. It’s great to look at. It reminds me of fantasy paintings that have come to life. Too bad that the life we see in the movie is lifeless. If you can get around that fact, then either version of ‘Legend’ at it’s best will be excellent eye candy with terrific cinema-photography and great music, whether it’s Goldsmith or Tangerine Dream as the music provider. In my opinion, The Director’s Cut and the U.S. Theatrical Version are on they same par in terms of quality. One is not better then the other. ‘Legend’ isn’t that good to begin with. To be fair, it’s not bad either. If it wasn’t for the film’s visual style, there would really be no reason to even consider watching this picture. ‘Legend’ is a missed opportunity that left me wanting more from it then what I was given . . .

“Bandslam” Movie Review
“Bandslam” Plot Summary
A new kid in town assembles a fledgling rock band — together, they achieve their dreams and compete against the best in the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands.
Surprise of the summer!!!!
Look at my surprise as I went to see the awful looking Bandslam for a sneak peak of the highly anticipated New Moon. And I came out disappointed at the New Moon angle. Yeah the footage was great but hardly enough to merit buying a ticket to see it. So I got over my disappointment I mean what am I gonna do. And crossed my fingers hoping the 87 percent of positive reviews for this film wouldn’t make me regret my ticket price. The film is written and directed by Todd Graff of the kinda gayish and lackluster film Camp so i wasn’t expecting much because that film got great reviews to. Well I’m the first to admit I’m wrong. And I was wrong. Majorly wrong. Shocked? I am too. Bandslam is such a genuinely endearing, funny, clever great teen flick that has just been so wrongly advertised. The talented Gaelan Connell stars as Will Burton a young man whom moves from Cincinatti to New Jersey. His mom gets a new job and he’s glad to leave his loner lifestyle behind because of a shady past and hopefully make a new start. Once there he meets a shy, emotionless girl named Sa5m the five is silent which is kinda dumb. And Charlotte Banks played by Aly Michalka whose looking for a band manager. the whole plot line is centered around this competition Bandslam. Kind of like a battle of the bands where the winner gets a record contract. This film is so unpredictable and feels so genuine. It has the feel of a film by the late great John Hughes. It’s a very cool movie about very cool misunderstood kids. Ignore the Disney casting session the film has depth. The performances aren’t all perfect but they feel real and the great bits outnumber the awkward ones by far. Connell is so endearing as Will Burton. He’s a real dork at first. And just a movie dork. He’s a little odd looking, a loner and not in a cool way and is way bad with being social. But by the end you will love him and think he’s a very cool guy. His love of music alone is enough to set him apart. the film sports surprising knowledge of the Velvet Underground, the birth of punk at CBGBs, The Ramones and even an cameo by David Bowie himself. Lisa Kudrow is surprisingly great as Will’s mother. She shows a great range of depth, emotion and comedic timing. Hudgens is less successful as Sa5m but has some truly endearing moments and has great chemistry with Connell and Michalka is even less successful as Charlotte but when her characters storyline takes a surprising turn so does her performance. The film is just really great much along the lines of last years surprise Nick and Norah’s infinite playlist. the film is smart, funny and genuine. A new classic for this generation. Too bad not many will see it just as no one really showed up for Charlie Bartlett, Nick and Nora or the girl next door. The film is really solid the surprise of the summer you should definitely check it out.

“The Ugly Truth” Plot Summary
A romantically challenged morning show producer is reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests…
Fun, Love and Happiness!
This movie delivers everything you expect from a romantic comedy! Dozens of fun scenes and a good chemistry between Buttler and Heigel. Lots of jokes: adult and universal. The Buttler’s character is absolutely positive and charming. I guess we all want to be that kind of a man: straight, confident, sincere. And Heigel’s character is so real with all those issues about the relationships and frankly vulnerability. Of course, life is much more complicated but leaving the theater you feel yourself happy and mighty in the questions of fascination. Thanks to the writers, the story doesn’t fall in dynamics and doesn’t bore you until the credits.
