It’s Great to see Angelina Jolie in the role of Lara Croft
I like Lara Croft. I like Angelina Jolie playing the role of Lara Croft and I liked all the special effects they used to make this movie. Movie is entertainingly good. I wished Jolie considered playing a third part, but she already declared she won’t do it again. ‘Two Tomb Raiders is enough’ I hope she changes her mind.

“The Life Aquatic” Plot Summary
With a plan to exact revenge on a mythical shark that killed his partner, oceanographer Steve Zissou rallies a crew that includes his estranged wife, a journalist, and a man who may or may not be his son. add synopsis
Absolutely Brilliant
The thing that some people forget is that Wes Anderson co-wrote the script. the Life Aquatic is quite possibly one of the most original movies i have ever seen, and, personally, i loved every aspect of it. The score was spectacular, mixing Bowies actual recordings with the Portugese covers of Sue Jorge was ingenious. In my opinion the story bares some resemblance to that of Moby Dick, in that the main character is the Capitan of a ship and is bent on finding a sea creature for, at first, revenge… but draw your own comparisons
All in all, the movie was stellar and grabbed my attention from beginning to end, although, it is definitely one of those films that you either like or dislike, and i obviously liked it. I recommend seeing it even if your friends say that its bad, i only rented it in the first place because it was all they had at Video Connection one lonely Friday night and i needed something to watch, and all of my friends, none of whom know what their talking about, trashed it never the less i found it beautiful, hilarious, and over-all an absolutely stunning work of art by Mr. Wes Anderson… also, if you saw it and liked it, you should check out the Royal Tenenbaums, also directed by Anderson, it is almost as good as the Life Aquatic.

“Tomb Raider” Plot Summary
Video game adventurer Lara Croft comes to life in a movie where she races against time and villains to recover powerful ancient artifacts. add synopsis
Jolie Stars In Special Effects Adventure
Director Simon West hits upon an action formula utilizing the female as heroine. Lara Croft stars Angelia Jolie, in a tailor-made role, as Lara Croft. Jolie is chic, sleek, and unique as the aristocrat turned adventurer. You must be an aristocrat to be an adventurer by definition; otherwise, how would you finance all those exotic escapades and cool clothes? Jolie performs all of her own stunts in this special effects-laden adventure that is long on action and exotic locales and short on character development and substance. It contains most elements of a fun, action movie: it’s fast paced. full of action, special effects, and form-fitting outfits. The plot concerns the recovery of some time altering artifact from an ancient tomb of sorts. Like most Bond films, the plot doesn’t matter much, as our eyes are fixed on Jolie and everything she says and does. Remember, the character is based upon a video game, so she’ll be able to do all sorts of things that real heroes wouldn’t be able to do. Jon Voight adds a cameo appearance as Jolie’s father, as he is in real life. *** of 4 stars.

“Almost Famous” Movie Review
“Almost Famous” Plot Summary
A high-school boy is given the chance to write a story for Rolling Stone Magazine about an up-and-coming rock band as he accompanies it on their concert tour.
Probably the best drama I have ever seen
As musical dramas go, this is definitely one of the better; not to say the best. It has a lot of acting talent going for it too; Jason Lee, Anna Paquin, Kate Hudson, Noah Taylor etc. Pretty much every major character is played by a talented actor/actress. The story revolves around a kid, named William Miller, who always seem somewhat outcast. He gets a lucky shot when he is offered to interview his favorite band and follow them on their tour. He starts out trying hard to interview them, but quickly finds out it’s hard enough just trying to keep up with the band. He meets a girl, a groupie who doesn’t admit to being a groupie, and falls in love with her. This is a great movie about the environment of the music of the mid-sixties. A very insightful look into the world of groupies, drugs and rock’n roll. This movie is worth watching for most fans of sixties rock’n roll, people looking to find out more about the environment, or just fans of Cameron Crowe. I gave it a 10/10, and most people will probably find it equally good.

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” Plot Summary
A young boy wins a tour through the most magnificent chocolate factory in the world, led by the world’s most unusual candy maker.
my favorite movie of the year
when i first went to the screening for this movie i was expecting it to be crap like the trailers suggested but i was surprised by how well made it is. this is an amazing movie that shows director Burton at his best. you all know the story by now so i won’t waste time going over it. what i love about this movie is how they kept the things that made the original movie great and also added in their own wonderful stuff. the trailers and TV ads make Wonka look like an idiot or some freak but he’s actually a pretty sweet man that’s funny as hell. the kids are great too, although they get a bit annoying at times. danny elfman’s music was also well done, it’s not as good as the one he did for scissorhands but it still holds it own and the set design was amazing from start to finish.this is a great movie that’s well shot and done in every way. it might just be the first remake since dawn of the dead that doesn’t suck

“Vanilla Sky” Movie Review
“Vanilla Sky” Plot Summary
A successful publisher finds his life taking a turn for the surreal after a car accident with a jaded lover.
great!
This film is really a great metaphor for the experience of spiritual enlightenment. It shows us how we can manipulate our surroundings and the way we view life using our memories. We can either create a wonderland or a nightmare. But the movie explains that neither of these lead to true fulfillment because we are only truly happy when we risk it all and really EXPERIENCE life. When we all want to live a real life all we need to do is stop thinking, open our eyes and LIVE. A great film i saw it after i had been reading a book on spiritual enlightenment and meditation and through this I was able to derive all these morals from it. :]

“The Truman Show” Movie Review
“The Truman Show” Plot Summary
An insurance salesman/adjuster discovers his entire life is actually a TV show.
True Best Picture of 1998
A Solar eclipse occurs when a relatively small, dark, cold object comes between an observer and the brilliance of the sun. A Best Picture eclipse occurs when ‘Saved-By-The-Bell’-meets-’Amadeus’ and ‘Saving Private Shmaltzy’ comes between the movie-going-public and the brilliance of ‘The Truman Show.’Frankly, I don’t know how this script got past the powers-that-be in Hollywood. It is a scathing indictment of the media. My only guess is that they saw the word ‘comedy’ and ‘Jim Carrey’ and decided not to look at it too hard. And judging from some of the comments here, it went over the heads of a pretty good slice of the viewing public as well. This story is a modern-day fable — for those with the eyes to see
If you are watching this to be entertained by Jim Carrey or to see a great sci-fi flick, you will be disappointed. If you are watching this to see the most elegant satire ever to grace the silver screen (maybe ever), then this movie is for you
I will have this one on DVD. 9/10 —
