“Kung Fu Panda” Movie Review
“Kung Fu Panda” Plot Summary
In the Valley of Peace, Po the Panda finds himself chosen as the Dragon Warrior despite the fact that he is obese and a complete novice at martial arts.
Exceptionaly visual, funny, action packed and intelligent movie for all ages.
One of the best comedy movies I’ve seen, this animation feature is both packed with action and intelligent at the same time. It’s yet another variation on ‘You can do anything if you believe in yourself’ and carries strong morale and educational message. But the way it’s done, the incredible visual side of the story, as well as the dialogs, is just exceptional. You can’t but love the fat Panda boy who’s dreaming about being the greatest warrior of all China only to wake up to the reality of hawing to serve noodle soup in his father’s shop. Unlike his father, who also dreamed but never found the courage to act on it, Panda follows his calling and by ‘luck’ get chosen to be the legendary Dragon warrior by the Kung-Fu grand master, the old turtle, to defeat the evil tiger. That’s when his training and troubles start. It’s really for anyone between 3 and 100 and I laughed and loved it from the titles in the beginning to the very end. Much recommended.

“The Island” Movie Review
“The Island” Plot Summary
A man goes on the run after he discovers that he is actually a “harvested being”, and is being kept along with others in a utopian facility.
Good Action Thriller
I saw the movie at the Detroit red carpet premiere on Monday, July 18. In attendance were Michael Clarke Duncan and Djimon Hounsou
The movie reminded me very much of Total Recall and The Matrix, not only with the plot line, but with its intensity. This was a very good summer action thriller. It was a little slow at first but once Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson’s characters discovered that they were clones, the action picked up immensely
I was a little surprise about the lack of time Duncan was in the movie. Hounsou did a fabulous job as the hired gun. I am not a Ewan McGregor fan but I think he did a great job as Lincoln Six Echo and Tom Lincoln, especially when both Six Echo and Lincoln were in the same scenes together. Johansson looked good on the screen but her dialogue was limited
Steve Buscemi did an funny job in his supporting role as McCord, the human buddy of Lincoln Six Echo. The scene when Johansson’s character, Jordan Two Delta, and McCord go through McCord’s closet to find some normal clothes for Johansson is a riot
As parts of the movie was shot in Detroit (See when Ewan and Scarlett arrive in L.A.), I was looking for shots of the Motor City. In this sense, the movie did an excellent job making Detroit and ‘L.A.’ look really snazzy. However, in two shots of downtown ‘L.A.’, you will see on the side of one of the buildings, a giant mural of Stevie Yzerman in his Red and White Red Wings jersey. I don’t know if this was a goof, but it was interesting to think of why Yzerman would be on the side of a building in L.A. forty years hence
Overall, I give it a seven. If you are a giant action and science fiction fan, you should not miss The Island.

“Green Mile” Movie Review
“Green Mile” Plot Summary
The story about the lives of guards on death row leading up to the execution of black man accused of child murder & rape, who has the power of faith healing.
Excellent! Tom Hanks leads a wonderful cast in this great movie
What an excellent movie this picture was. When I first saw the trailers in October, I thought it might be pretty good.
The Green Mile exceeded my expectations. Tom Hanks leads a wonderful cast in this movie which stands out by far from most others. If you liked Shawshank Redemption, you’ll love this one. I’ve realized just how good Stephen King can write, now that I’ve seen this and Shawshank. It’s three hours long, and worth every minute of it. It touched me in many ways. I was fortunate enough to see it twice. And I will buy it on dvd as soon as it is available. The Green Mile will certainly become a classic. Go see it, you won’t be disappointed.

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.

#1 NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby stays atop the heap thanks to a pact with his best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton, Jr. But when a French Formula One driver, makes his way up the ladder, Ricky Bobby’s talent and devotion are put to the test.
Will Ferrell at his best.
Will Ferrell at his best
Seriously Here, Ferrell plays a good ole country boy with rocks for brains and only one worry in the world and that’s winning. Sound like a familiar past TV character of his? Ferrell is also a Writer on this film with Director Adam McKay, who together have made a solid comedy team since those SNL days, including 2004’s ‘Anchor Man.’ But standing just as tall in this picture is the surprising man-about-town, Mr. Sasha Cohen (Borat, Ali G, Bruno) as Ricky Bobby’s French nemesis, Jean Girard. This guy is such a great character actor it was difficult to even spot him at first. But who else would be brave enough to kiss Ferrell on the lips?www.manwithavan.blogspot.com

“Daredevil” Plot Summary

Enjoyable
I’m not sure, why at all this movie has such negative reviews, i think it was much better than X-men 1, Hellboy, and Equally as good as Spider-man, the action scenes are awesome, Jennifer Garner is Off the Hook, she looks amazing the fiery Red head, i found Colin Farrel’s Character a bit poor, but Ben Affleck plays the part really well, this movie might also make the toughest of people Fill Up, with 1 particular scene, i was surprised it happened, and disliked Farrel for a moment, But it was very Enjoyable, and i’d advise this movie for everybody to watch
Also the Soundtrack is awesome. Possibly 1 of the best soundtracks to date.8/10, one of the best Marvel Productions.

“Whole 9 Yards” Plot Summary
Nick is a struggling dentist in Canada. A new neighbor moves in, and he discovers that it is Jimmy “The Tulip” Teduski. His wife convinces him to go to Chicago and inform the mob boss who wants Jimmy dead.
The Best!!!
This is one (if not the one) of my favorite movies.
I just loved it, it has an excellent plot, perfect acting from most of the actors, specially Matthew Perry… and it’s just great when you can find a movie nowadays where you can’t predict the ending cause everything is possible to happen.
It’s very funny
It’s enjoyable
It’s a pleasure to watch, alone or even better with friends
You’re gonna be in for a real treat…
Although, if you like this one, don’t get your hopes up too high… Cause the second one ‘The Whole Ten Yards’, is faaaaaar from this good.
Hope you like this movie as much as I did

“Sin City” Movie Review
“Sin City” Plot Summary
A film that explores the dark and miserable town Basin City and tells the story of three different people, all caught up in the violent corruption of the city.
Excellent movie
The movie is really great. Especially the thing about colors. The movie is black and white but somethings like the red dress, blue eyes of Alexis Bledel are colored, which i find very original. Also i realized that on the dancing scene in which Jessica Alba and Bruce Wills meet at the bar, the whole movie becomes colored. Even the least important roles are taken by very famous actors and actresses and the acting is very solid throughout the movie. When you combine all these with frank miller’s excellent scenario, one of the best movies ever is the result. I think that this movie deserves a higher rank in the top250 movies list.

“School for Scoundrels” Plot Summary
A young guy short on luck, enrolls in a class to build confidence to help win over the girl of his dreams, which becomes complicated when his teacher has the same agenda. add synopsis
Fun to watch
There was a decent but not outstanding British comedy (1960) by the same name as this film, starring that great comic actor Alastair Sim, who also was wonderful as Scrooge in 1951’s Christmas Carol. It was based loosely (the books resemble self-improvement manuals) on Stephen Potter’s well-worth reading ‘One Upmanship’ and ‘Lifemanship’ books. Those hilarious best-selling books provide the reader with a guide as to how to use guile to get even with someone you identify as worthy of getting even with, or as Potter put it, ‘creative intimidation.’ To some extent the 2006 ‘School for Scoundrels’ could also be said to be based on those Potter books. While the original books and the 1960 film envisioned a small private college that taught the art of being one-up (if you are not one up, you’re one down), the 2006 version is a single self-improvement course taught secretly by a masterful rogue (Billy Bob Thornton) who calls himself Dr. P, to a group of low self-esteem ‘losers.’ His course resembles extreme confidence building sink or swim exercises more than one-upmanship. But he also goes one-on-one to put down the best of his students. It is explained that Dr. P is very competitive and shoots down anyone who might approach his level of skill. When facially challenged Roger (Jon Heder) unexpectedly is standing out as the best of his class, a one-upmanship contest between the master and the student gets underway
This is a fun film to watch; not at all sophomoric and not leaning on the slapstick approach. In addition to the two leads, the rest of the cast includes, among others, well known comic Sarah Silverman and comic actor Ben Stiller. Stiller is about as good as he gets (he is usually in films that are not my taste in comedy, although I recently saw him in something I really enjoyed.) On the other hand, the lines given to Sarah Silverman just make her character brassy rather than funny and are not up to the caliber of her stand-up comedy that she writes for herself.

“Brother Bear” Movie Review
“Brother Bear” Plot Summary
A young Inuit hunter seeks vengence against a bear, only to be magically changed into a bear himself, and his only chance to change back is with a talkative bear cub. add synopsis
A breath of fresh air.
No, it’s not one of those older Disney ‘classics,’ but I loved the film to death. It has believable characters, beautiful animation, a good storyline, decent music, and best of all (or at least, the most refreshing of all) is that its humour and dialogue aren’t overdone like you see so often. It has good messages and memorable scenes
As far as a plot overview, if you don’t want your children to see a ‘gorey’ movie, despite a lack of blood and apparent injury, you should stay away from this film. Within the first fifteen minutes, both the main character’s older brother and a bear die. The movie also accepts occult ideas concerning religion, as there are spirits that live in the sky rather than a single god (which are capable of creating great changes) and instances where it embraces the idea of karma. But overall, this movie is as cute and cuddly as the bears it follows. It won’t screw up your kids
The animation in this film is beautiful. I’m a fan of the old style of drawing it on paper, then inking, then painting, as opposed to all of this Pixar-style crap Disney’s been spewing out lately (and no, Pixar movies are good, but Disney CGI films are baaaad). This style is all but dead, and Brother Bear is supposedly the second to last film to be hand-drawn. Appreciate it
I admit that some of the music was a bid… odd. Phil Collins, being the main player in that department, does a decent job singing, but the lyrics were kind of, well, stupid. The best song is the one sung in Inuit, if that makes a difference
I don’t want to say more in case you’re reading this despite the spoiler warning. The bottom line is, this movie is great. I love it. It’s one of my favourite Disney movies, and trust me, it’s much better than you may think if you’re of the belief it’s just another ‘get rich quick’ film. Buy it, watch it with your kids, and enjoy it. You won’t be disappointed.
