“Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron” Movie Review

“Spirit” Plot Summary

As a wild stallion travels across the frontiers of the Old West, he befriends a young human and finds true love with a mare.

Great.

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is an overall wonderful movie. The blending of animation types is unique, the storyline is amazing, and the music is wonderful

The drawn animation is a special thing about many animations. How they expressed the characters, especially the horses, through their animation are spectacular especially. While the way horses communicate through body language is easy to understand, many young children and people who haven’t studied horses might not understand. Without words, I would imagine it would have to be challenging to express them through the features. Because of this, I understand the ‘eyebrow’ they added to the horses (while real horses don’t have those thick lines). One of the few things I noticed about horse habits that might have been portrayed strangely is that Spirit lead his mother’s herd. In wild horse herds, the lead stallion usually chases the young colts out

Also, while some people might think portraying the white army officers as the ‘bad guys’ is stereotyping, think of all the movies in which the Native Americans have been portrayed as that. Sometimes back then; they did treat mustangs very poorly. For example, in real history, the Appaloosa breed was almost wiped out due to the Army officers. Imagine what would have happened to one of the worlds best loved riding breeds if the Native Americans had not saved them

I think it’s amazing how the realism wasn’t subtracted by making the horses talk to each other. Spirit’s feelings were expressed by a little bit of narration, but mostly through the music (by Bryan Adams). The songs express the story really well, and Hans Zimmer and Bryan Adams did a great job telling the story through melodies and lyrics

The emotion I got when watching the movie, whether the first time or the twentieth (yes, I’ve watched it that much), you wouldn’t believe. Some of the scenes take your breath away, while others seem to force tears into your eyes. The opening sequence, showing Spirit’s homeland, puts you right into the spectacular action right away

I don’t understand at all why some people are so hateful of this brilliant movie. Overall, I rate it a 10/10 – a must watch.

“Pretty Woman” Movie Review

“Pretty Woman” Plot Summary

A man in a legal but hurtful business needs an escort for some social events, and hires a beautiful prostitute he meets… only to fall in love.

A winning romantic comedy.

Garry Marshall may not be the most interesting director working in Hollywood, but his movies are definitely entertaining, and in that sense he is successful. Perhaps his two greatest films, which also are the ones he’ll most likely be remembered for, are ‘Beaches’ and ‘Pretty Woman’. One of the most commercially successful (almost $500m worldwide!!) romantic comedies of all time,’Pretty Woman’ is a charming modern day fairy tale that works largely in part to the phenomenal on-screen chemistry between its two stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. In an Academy Award nominated performance as Vivian Ward, Julia Roberts truly shines. Her screen presence is nothing short of radiating, not to mention she’s a highly skilled comedic actress. The film also owes a lot to its equally strong supporting performances from Jason Alexander, Laura San Giacomo and Hector Elizondo. All cliches aside, it’s highly enjoyable and stands up superbly even after repeated viewings, a definite 10/10.

“Fahrenheit 9/11″ Movie Review

“Fahrenheit 911″ Plot Summary

Michael Moore’s view on what happened to the United States after September 11; and how the Bush Administration allegedly used the tragic event to push forward its agenda for unjust wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. add synopsis

Not Eggs-actly Accurate

Michael Moore has done it again assembled a disembodied collection of sound bites, disjointed and almost always out-of-context film footage, Corporation bashing, cynical one-liners, tearful testimony of doubtlessly hurt family members threaded into the narrative, vague coincidence, rambling discourses by carefully chosen downtrodden `common folk’ and any clip in which an important figure is seen as a pompous no-nothing. In `Fahrenheit 911′ we have the added treat of listening to the testimony of a handful of reluctant non-com warriors and the stern admonition that our soldiers are willing to go in harm’s way, but only if we REALLY need them to do so

In a bit of a surprise move the film opens with a shotgun of facts aimed at building the case that President Bush is President only because a small group of vaguely interconnected power brokers (not) somehow colluded to make him so a wild stretch right out of the box. Mr. Moore could surely turn this segment into a documentary in its own right. Unfortunately this is a sour grapes kick off for a documentary, and we in the audience sensed this. Also early on we see protests (after we’ve been made to feel bad about voting George Bush into office in the first place) along the parade route on Inauguration Day and much is made of the point that in a time of celebration the nation is already sundered. Mention is made that even eggs were thrown. We are stunned (well, maybe not stunned) as a solitary egg is discerned striking a car. Generally Presidential-grade vehicles are up to such punishment. As metaphor, this film could not be more appropriately compared to anything but this lamely impactful footage documenting an egg plopping onto the pavement after striking the auto

There are a plethora of quotes floating on the Internet which indicate threats of terrorism against the U.S. were perceived many years ago. bin Laden’s propensity to initiating violent anti-American activities was known and even prominent figures in government long before G.W. Bush became President testified as to the likelihood of weapons of mass destruction being likely found in Iraq. But we are a nation famed for second-guessing nearly any headline; I am sure there is a JFK re-visit being written at this very moment. The visit to Flint, Michigan to work the angle of the poor being the sole source of our military personnel was noticeably patched in, almost as an aside. If one is building a case that rich power brokers arrange wars, why even worry about the source of troops? That never seems to come up in academic studies of how and why a war begins. It is very refreshing to see large crowds in attendance at the local plex to view a film the subject of which is normally strictly art-house fare. In this sense the movie is exciting; certainly any documentary that gets Americans talking about politics is a good thing. It will be interesting to see counter-reactions (not News-At-Eleven clips of Hollywood actors smugly winking at us) to the fanfare accorded this movie’s release

So you need go only as far as this medium to find as many counter-arguments to any that Moore presents. Ho-hum. Until `Fahrenheit 911′ came along `Super Size Me’ was a shoe-in as the Best Documentary of the year. Now it may be a horse race to see which wins the Oscar, but the Academy members have surely punched their vote cards already, if not only figuratively

Rating: Three Stars

“Seabiscuit” Plot Summary

True story of the undersized Depression-era racehorse whose victories lifted not only the spirits of the team behind it but also those of their nation. add synopsis

Good movie

One of my favorite movies. Movies based off of books make me read the book, but with this, that isn’t so. This movie and the Harry Potter ones are good enough that I don’t need to read the book- and I read all the time.. avid reader. When I first watched it years ago, it was a little boring at the beginning. I now fast forward the beginning, as I already know it and want to watch the horse parts. I think horse people would like this movie more than non-horse people. But all movies will have people that like it and don’t; different tastes and opinions, but I like this movie. There were inappropriate scenes that I’d hate when I was younger, but the horse racing is exciting. I think Seabiscuit wins… and that was like ‘Duh.’ Of course he wins. I like things that are odd/different and unlikely to succeed, so I liked the plot, the odd little horse, large jockey…

“Ronin” Movie Review

“Ronin” Plot Summary

A freelancing former US intelligence agent tries to track down a mysterious package that is wanted by both the Irish and the Russians.

Successful, Machine-Processed Action Movie.

I’m going to give it a 6 partly because it was shot in Paris, Nice, and Arles. It gives you a tourist’s eye view of France in the winter, including a chilly, overcast Riviera and Van Gogh’s Yellow House, morphed into what looks like an overpriced cafe

Other than that, this is an action movie stripped down to the bare bones. The characters are as rudimentary as the plot. A handful of unemployed professionals are hired by Natascha McIlhone (representing the Irish) to ambush a convoy of cars transporting a curious-looking case, the contents of which have been sold to the Russians. I think I’ve got that right. If I haven’t, it doesn’t matter. The conspicuously aluminum case is an operational definition of a MacGuffin. What’s in it? Who knows and who cares? The whole movie is built around its action sequences and they are plentiful. There is a meeting between the professionals and the French gangsters who are to supply them with equipment for the heist. It turns into a shoot out. The convoy is intercepted and it turns into a car chase. It ends in a shoot out, during which one of the professionals, Gregor, turns into a cockroach. There’s another car chase through tunnels and whatnot that destroys so many vehicles it surely would have cleared even the Parisian streets of traffic. The end involves a couple of murders. Even Katarina Witt gets it, which is a dirty trick

Novelties? Not too many. Well, I suppose that in the course of these pursuits and battles, it’s a novelty to see innocent bystanders get plowed down or shot up or blown up. The zipping cars smash through the usual food stands and push carts but I don’t remember their ever doing it on such narrow streets

There isn’t any noticeable development of character. That is, nobody changes in any fundamental way. Michael Lonsdale, as a rich old man, and Stellan Skarsgard, as Gregor the dung beetle, give the best performances. Rober DeNiro, a fine actor, seems out of place in all this European company. Natascha McIlhone has a somber, angular, and sexy face but I wouldn’t trust her as far as I could throw her, which isn’t very far. I like Jean Reno best of all. Regard that face, that voice! The guy looks like he’s coming down from a week-long bout with the bottle. There aren’t that many international movie stars at whom I can look without saying to myself, ‘I wish I were that handsome.’ Aside from bullets and baggage, what is the movie about? It seems to be about itself. There’s nothing much behind what you see. It’s like buying ‘roast beef’ at a modern deli. Roast beef, my foot. It’s machine-processed beef, scraped right down to the bone, then pureed and solidified and seasoned so that it looks a little — just a little — like what it purports to be. There’s some phony philosophy from Michael Lonsdale’s sage, who tells DeNiro the story of the forty-seven ronin — who planned and waited for years for an opportunity to avenge their betrayed master — but it has nothing to do with the movie. Lonsdale’s thoughtfully delivered lesson might as well have been the Gilgamesh epic, or Huckleberry Finn, for that matter. It’s an attempt to coat the plot with some portentous uber-meaning, but that just makes it the same processed stuff under a thin, negligible shell of pastry, like Beef Wellington

I’ve made this sound like a pretty crummy movie but it’s not, if you like action movies. The director knows exactly what he’s doing. The editing is superb, as it has to be to make this genre piece a success. The shootouts, collisions, and deaths are in real time, not slow motion. It may not be pregnant with meaning but it’s diverting, exciting, and not insulting to the viewer who’s willing to shrug and say, ‘For an action movie, this one isn’t too bad.’

“Dances with Wolves” Plot Summary

Lt. John Dunbar, exiled to a remote western Civil War outpost, befriends wolves and Indians, making him an intolerable aberration in the military.

The best film of all time

Many people regard a lot of films as ‘top class’ but I always keep a little shelf in my mind for the films that I regard as the best films of all time – films that are simply timeless masterpieces. Welcome to the top of that shelf! There are certain criteria by which films are judged and greatness is only obtained when all the criteria are satisfied in full. Dances with Wolves is the greatest timeless masterpiece of cinema to date because it satisfies all these criteria: 1) Cinematography: the sweeping landscape photography of the Frontier combined with the subtle night-time photography earns top marks. Aside from Oscars for Cinematography and editing, it also won the ASC award for Outstanding achievement in Cinematography – as well as a host of other industry recognition awards. In short – the cinematography is breathtaking.2) Sound/Score: the score is one of the best ever written. Again, awards rained from the sky for magical and moving score that combined seamlessly with the film/story.3) Screenplay: The dialogue and plot is magnificent. The film does not fall into the common plot formulas found in other films that attempt to pass themselves off as epics. The story combines as both of celebration of life and a somber rumination of the history of mankind

There are comical moments, dramatic moments and tear-jerking moments – that all make their entry (and exit) into the story with flawless timing.4) The Acting: for all that has been said about Kevin Costner, this was the peak of his career and he played the role of John Dunbar to perfection. A relatively unknown band of actors gave magnificent, heart-felt and down-to-earth performances in support. It was actually refreshing to see an ‘EPIC’ where the producers didn’t feel the need to throw famous actors in with cameo roles to improve it marketability. As far as I was concerned, there were no weak links in the chain on the acting side of things. Kevin Costner certainly proved his worthiness as a director by getting the best out of the cast.5) The ONLY film in history to…. Have an extended (director’s cut) version that was better than the original. Due to concerns about the length of the film, Dances with Wolves was stripped back to three hours. Some complained that it was still too long, but I thought that the film was patient – it included good relevant detail but managed to keep the story moving at a good pace. The director’s cut added an hour to the cinematic release and was, without a doubt, better than the original. It somehow added more intrigue to the story and included many sobering insights into the destruction of the American Indian race

Over all, I regard it as the greatest most masterful epic of all time.

Best scary movie ever!

This film is excellent. it is truly awesome. It has a star studded cast including Johnny Depp!. Not for the faint hearted though as this film mixes Gothic, gory and plain heads rolling around with romance, hilarity in a way and filled with the hottest of hot Johnny Depp who plays Ichabod Crane an intelligent yet perhaps slightly wimpy detective. He faints 7 times for crap’s sake! I do feel the movie lacks faults as it is always good to laugh at stupid mistakes people make! This film is really worth seeing and will make you scared of axes forever. it send that cold yet exciting chill down your spine and will make you want to see it again and again. And even again and again.

The lives of three residents of New York’s Staten Island intersect as they struggle to get ahead. add synopsis

Pretty Good

A septic tank cleaner Sully (Hawke) wants his unborn child to have a genius IQ; a mobster boss Tarzo (D Onofrio) wants to become truly famous; and Jasper (Cassel), a deaf mute butcher, plays the horses and does dirty work for Tarzo. When their paths collide, nothing will ever be the same. This starts out like it’s going to be a comedy of sorts telling all about the forgotten New York Borough, Staten Island, and that the mob lives there and they also bury their victims there and you chuckle a little. Then the real movie starts and be prepared for a little gore. It is not a comedy. However, near the end, it does become somewhat comedic and you will chuckle again

There is some gore in here and although you may not see all of it, your mind’s eye will and you will squirm a lot. Of course, I chose to look away anyway. Hey, I have to sleep at night. The acting performances are all good and the pace keeps you tuned in because you are not sure how things will play out. I must say that I become more impressed with Ethan Hawke with each movie. He is more than good. He delivers. When he gets scared, I get scared too. See?Pretty good for a small budget movie. Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes.

Good Movie

I really liked this movie. I have a thing for late 80’s action flicks like Beverly Hills Cop or 48 hrs. I thought this was pretty good movie. One of the members on here said Belushi’s character was the worst part of the movie. I thought Belushi was pretty good and comedic. I love the dialogue in the movie between Danko and Ridzik at the coffee shop. Overall I would definitely recommend this movie. I also find the content to be appealing. Russian Mob and drug smuggling. I also thought the bad guy Viktor was a really cool part played by Ed O’Ross who also plays Dutch Schultz right hand man in Hoodlum which is not nearly as good as Red Heat.

“The Running Man” Movie Review

“The Running Man” Plot Summary

A wrongly-convicted man must try to survive a public execution gauntlet staged as a TV game show. add synopsis

An outstanding action movie

The Running Man is everything a film should be. It has copious amounts of violence, plenty of one-liners and a clever storyline. Arnie plays his usual type of character, the badass strongman up against the system. Running Man was made in the late 80s, one of the glory eras for action films. Back then, violence counted, and in this film there is more than enough to keep you entertained. There are plenty of highlights, but the best scene is probably when Arnie chainsaws his enemy, a rather fat and sweaty ‘chaser’ between the legs. Suffice to say, said ‘chaser’ does not enjoy the experience…… Other highs include the big shootout at the end, when Arnie leads a small Army of computer geeks into battle with his trademark cigar taking pride of place in his mouth. Richard Dawson is superb as the sleazy game show host Killion, and his tete-a-tete with Arnie at the end is excellent! The music is your typical 80s pumping rock and suits the tone of the film very well. Of course the writers are assuming that in the future there will be a huge 80s revival, but there you go…. This is certainly one of Arnie’s best outings. Its just a shame that today’s movies are so tame. They would do well to replicate Running Man’s levels of action.
