“Paycheck” Movie Review
“Paycheck” Plot Summary
What seemed like a breezy idea for an engineer to net him millions of dollars, leaves him on the run for his life and piecing together why he’s being chased.
I liked it! A clever Sci-Fi thriller.
When I watch a movie like this, I don’t expect for anything to be ‘plausible’, because nothing is plausible in this type of Sc-Fi story. So I just check my ‘logic’ in the coat room and just sit back and, hopefully, enjoy. I enjoyed Ben Affleck as Michael Jennings, super smart ‘reverse engineer’ who can take apart and analyze a new, complicated contraption, and give plans to his employer to make their own, and go one or two steps better. For this he gets paid very well, and has the only additional requirement that he forget everything. And he does, they always see to that. The movie starts with one such job, just to establish the playing field, then the movie starts in earnest when his old friend, James (Aaron Eckhart), entices him to do a three year job that will get him a fee ‘in 8 figures.’ In the process he meets and flirts with pretty, smart Biologist Dr. Rachel Porter (Uma Thurman). Paul Giamatti has a nice role as his friend, Shorty
Almost 2 hours, it held my interest all the way
SPOILERS. Michael’s old friend James is up to no good. The project is a special ‘lens’ and computer system that can see in circular space, warping back on itself so that one can ’see’ into the future. We only are shown the beginning and end of the 3 years, nothing in between, except for some flashbacks later. His memory is erased, but when he goes to the bank to access his $90+ Million, he is told that he signed it away, and his package of personal effects don’t look familiar to him. Cut to the core story, as he was completing the project, he took a look into his future and saw he was to be killed by a bullet at the work site. So, knowing his memory would be erased, he sent a package to himself, with a number of seemingly unrelated items — a bullet, a bus pass, a BMW key, a fortune with a set of lottery numbers, etc. He was smart enough to realize these would be the key items to get him to change the future, stay alive, and avoid the destruction of the world. To do all that he had to get back in and destroy the computer, which he later found he had the wisdom earlier to put a bug into. And, in the end he gets the girl!

“The Negotiator” Movie Review
“The Negotiator” Plot Summary
In a desperate attempt to prove his innocence, a skilled police negotiator accused of corruption and murder takes hostages in a government office to gain the time he needs to find the truth. add synopsis
Exciting procedural thriller
An above average procedural which cashes the potential of Kevin Spacey – and the internal corruption drama of his recent LA Confidential. Hot shot negotiator Danny Roman’s been set up and, in the leave-your-common-sense-at-the-door central act of the film, takes over an entire building and will only deal with the awkward outsider Chris Sabian to negotiate the situation
This is a perfectly cast film. Spacey and Jackson are fine actors and this is really a conflagrated two-hander which requires Jackson to be an action hero occasionally. That’s exactly how it plays out, with Sabian/Spacey’s suspicions being aroused as the rules of negotiation are continually undermined and subverted. The well-executed action in the office block recalls the best bits of Die Hard. 7/10

“Saving Private Ryan” Movie Review
“Saving Private Ryan” Plot Summary
Following the Normandy Landings, a group of US soldiers go behind enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.
Spielberg is God
Even thinking about this film gives me the chills , well,like practically everything Mr. Spielberg has done in his career , lifting the American movie into the cinematic heaven . Hopefully , many movies are still ahead of him , the greatest artist ever, no doubt !There is nothing new to say about Saving Private Ryan , after so many years , except that perhaps it ought to become the must study subject for anyone interested in military history or history as such , because ,friend,
it cannot go any gorier than this , that is, any more realistic than this ( watch Rambo 4 , When Trumpets Fade , Windtalkers ). Saving P.R. has somehow created a new genre of films , that is ultra-realistic war movie that transcends anything solely written, in fact , as has always been the case with Mr. Spielberg, literature gets its visual manifestation, where even Shakespeare would pipe down and bow in reverence ! Even 10 is not enough , simply no numerical quality, unit , exists to describe the sheer power of this cinematic experience , not even the designation ‘film ‘itself can do this ! Angelic, stratospheric , out of this dimension , Mona Lisa in cinema !

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.

“Robots” Movie Review
“Robots” Plot Summary
In a robot world, a young idealistic inventor travels to the big city to join his inspiration’s company, only to find himself opposing its sinister new management.
Robin was best
Robin Williams was truly the star of the show. Robots was able to give him a leash to run with and explore his comic talent. He went wild with no ‘restrictions’ to hold him back. It was a role that allowed him to be a free spirit with his character and show off his real talent. Many people will disagree with me stating that his ‘acting’ was over the top but it was a release for him and he went wild with the part. The other actors tried their best to keep up with him with quirks and little jokes but nothing kept up to the level of Robin. Fender is his best role in the sense of comic relief. The Genie in Aladdin provided the release back then.

“Lady in the Water” Movie Review
“Lady in the Water” Plot Summary
Apartment building superintendent Cleveland Heep rescues what he thinks is a young woman from the pool he maintains. When he discovers that she is actually a character from a bedtime story who is trying to make the journey back to her home, he works with his tenants to protect his new friend from the creatures that are determined to keep her in our world.
Imagination = GOOD!
Lady in the Water brings M Night back to the American pop culture spotlight, where he belongs! It is so refreshing to see so much imagination back into the theatres! Lady in the Water is so different from any other movie choice out today and I think it is bold and creative of M Knight to bring his creativity to the big screen. Also, the concept of the entire movie taking place in one apartment complex is brilliant. Many different types of people are brought together by the ‘Cove’ and of course by the mystical Lady. Paul Giamatti can add another classic into his resume as he works his way into being one of the best present day screen actors. The other characters of the movie are very entertaining, especially the Asian mother daughter duo who understand the legend of the Lady better than anyone. Get ready for a major burst of imagination when you go to see Lady in the Water! Thinking about the movie afterwards will only make you love it even more…

“Cinderella Man” Movie Review
“Cinderella Man” Plot Summary
The story of James Braddock, a supposedly washed up boxer who came back to become a champion and an inspiration in the 1930s.
Great Movie, a must see!
I just saw the movie tonight at a special advanced screening here in Newport Beach, and it is so good. I cannot tell you one single performance in the film that wasn’t terrific. I can only think of a couple negatives. One being the man coughing behind me the WHOLE time. In terms of the movie, the section where the Braddocks suffer in the Depression went on pretty long, and the Braddock’s kids were WAY too cute. A little shamelessly so. As in, no three kids are that well-behaved,loving and adorable ALL THE TIME. Great points: There were a lot more funny moments than i had expected, but none were cheap laughs, all were just honest and nice little moments. The acting and directing are just incredible. Renee Zellweger, Russel Crowe, Paul Giamatti (who practically steals the show), even Craig Bierko as the boxing nemesis were so great! Oscars FOR EVERYONE! It’s too bad this isn’t Oscar season– i really hope this doesn’t get forgotten by the time nominations come out.

“Big Momma’s House” Plot Summary
An FBI agent disguises himself as an old lady to protect a beautiful federal witness and her son. add synopsis
Great Comedy!
Sure Big Momma’s House has the over-exaggerated characters, the typical modern crude humor and predictable plot – but I found the execution of the movie spot-on. It’s got a very similar aspect as Mrs
Doubtfire, I think you can guess what that is, but despite the predictability, no character development and just mild dialog, I found the movie rather enjoyable because on how funny and well executed Martin Lauren’s performance was. It’s got all the same elements on the typical modern comedy, whether it’d be its crude humor, dialog or appeals but my opinion contracts it as a great comedy, that could easily be enjoyable on the same level of multiple viewings. It’s very funny, got a good ending and also the little sad bit, a recommendation for every Comedy fan who wants a laugh but expect nothing special.
