” Alien Resurrection” 1997 by Jean-Pierre Jeunet – Movie Review

Sci-Fi thriller “Alien: Resurrection” finalizes the quadrilogy of cult series about Aliens. In “Alien 4″ we bid farewell to Ripley so wonderfully impersonated by Sigourney Weaver. The final victory is won and the aliens will never be able to cause irreparable damage to the Earth and endanger the existence of humankind.

“Alien: Resurrection” Plot Summary

Auriga Research Facility

Auriga Research Facility

Ripley is successfully cloned from the eighth attempt, and the alien embryo is given new life with her. The military seem to be not able to abandon the crazy unrealizable idea of taming the aliens, turning them into creatures under human control. They do not want to recognize that this lethal weapon could destroy human civilization forever. Nobody can manage to breed the aliens in captivity, neither did anybody manage to train them. In “Alien 4″ Ripley gets a second life, but cloning has caused an unexpected effect of hybridization. She is extremely strong, has a highly developed instincts. Her blood like the blood of Aliens is capable to burn through metal. She calls herself ‘mother of the monster” and has the ability to feel the presence of monsters. She became much colder and sober-minded than she was in her real life.

The criminal military officials’ plans extend so far that they are willing to pay the pirates for kidnapping. The live cargo is going to be a ‘farm’ for breeding these extremely ‘attractive’ creatures. But Aliens do not doze for an extra minute, they spend great time spreading inside the research center. Although Ripley is perceived by the scientists as the production waste, she and the female android Annalee Call (Winona Rider) are to save the humankind from the invasion of the terrible Aliens.

“10 Items or Less” Movie Review

“10 Items or Less” Plot Summary

An actor (Freeman) prepping for an upcoming role meets a quirky grocery clerk (Vega), and the pair hit the road to show one another their respective worlds. add synopsis

A simple, enjoyable, and ‘down home’ kind of movie.

Bravo! Morgan Freeman is an actor, who researches a character he is selected to play, before he makes a commitment. Freeman is a ‘good fit’ for this film (like he was for ‘Driving Miss Daisy’), and he is not only believable, but he gets a chance to change his image of playing a character with reserved dignity and propriety. Although there are no guarantees in life, for anyone, this gives an actor a great opportunity to play different or unique characters that stand out, in order to avoid getting stereotyping. And it must be said that stereotyping has hampered, or completely ruined, a significant number of acting careers

This is a low-budget film that, amazingly, was made in a time span of only two weeks. It is a film that is well directed and written by Brad Silberling. The location manager chose Carson, CA for the film’s setting, and the location helps set the tone and timing for the film. The editing is fair to good, but a little rough

Silberling was the ’subcontractor’, in getting Freeman to do this film, while the actor was in-between film projects

There is a good chemistry between Freeman and Paz Vega, a Spanish actress, and this opens an effective dialog between each of the cast members, who are diverse and come from different cultures. The film also encourages an understanding between people, who not only speak two languages (English and Spanish), but come from two different worlds of ethnicity, race, gender, norms, mores, beliefs, folkways, principles, and values. The film strives for some honesty, and arrives at some truth, to maintain the film’s integrity

Part of the comedy is that Freeman plays an unemployed actor that has been out of work for four years. In truth, Freeman is so-in-demand as an actor that he is constantly working

The film offers an adventure of bonding, caring, sharing, changing, and exchanging. And, the film’s outtakes give the viewer a preview of some of things an actor must go through in preparing for a role

If necessary, tell your boss that you’re taking a ‘mental health day’, and go see this film. If you’re able, take your significant other or your family with you. I rank the film a 10 out of 10. It’s enjoyable, interesting, informative, poignant, and worthwhile.

“G-Force” Movie Review

“G-Force” Plot Summary

A specially trained squad of guinea pigs is dispatched to stop a diabolical billionaire from taking over the world. |

Best FUN movie of 2009

Hi, I watched this movie today and I actually write comments on movies which I hate or LOVE the most. This one belongs to the MOST LOVED category.

G-Force (2009)(********Spoliers*********)

Directed by Academy Award-winning VFX artist Hoyt Yeatman, making his directional debut, G-Force tells the strange story about a secret special US government organization of skilled trained animals. Funded by FBI, this special agent animals got advanced tools, including an high-tech earpiece that allows them to talk to humans. Things went wrong when FBI decided to shutdown the Unit, making G-Force members to crack down the classified case of Leonard Saber (Bill Nighy).

Written by Cormac Wibberley, Marianne Wibberley tells the amazing story of Guinea pigs, happens to be Secret Agents. Even tough the plot evolves with usual ‘Underdog-Pixar 3D story lines’, it really makes a mark during the second half. They managed to created unique personalities to their characters, but at some parts I smelled Stereotypes.

The voice actors were brilliant, especially PenГ©lope Cruz as Juarez the female Spanish Guinea pig, Tracy Morgan as Blaster and Steve Buscemi as Bucky the Hamster. The much surprise came from Nicolas Cage as Speckles the Star-Nosed Mole,and I don’t know why he altered his great sound for this character, I found it difficult to recognizance the original voice. All in all it was Sam Rockwell who wind up the show with his Heroic character Darwin.

And the soul created for this movie by Trevor Rabin was stunning. The score really toned the action sequences, and the story development.

As a VFX student I enjoyed this movie from start to end, it’s a great fun movie, I recommend it to everyone. In story wise and in technically wise it’s eye-candy. I must say I never seen such a CGI execution in detail (not even in Transformers), such a brilliant work from director Hoyt Yeatman. He truly deserves some recognition. And also the legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer teaming again with Walt Disney for his first 3D feature. By G-Force he really marked his position again.

I give this movie 10 out of 10. And I am waiting for the Sequel!

G-Force = Be the Force with YOU.

    “Blow” Movie Review

    “Blow” Plot Summary

    The story of George Jung, the man who established the American cocaine market in the 1970’s.

    Great movie!

    It is great to see a movie that knows the distinction between ‘anti-drug’ versus ‘anti-drug-dealer’. This movie shows the human side of prisoners of war in the war against drug choice and drug freedom. It does not demonize George Jung nor make him out to be a perfect human being. For instance, he is not portrayed as the best father in the world. Nevertheless, this distinction and balance is desperately needed in Hollywood’s current extreme state of bias in movies against drugs

    Johnny Depp and Paul Reubens and Ray Liotta play their characters with wonderful sensitivity. They create no dull moments on the screen. The movie would have benefited from seeing at least one montage of the final buyers of cocaine. I would like to see from where all those bags and bags of cash ultimately came!

    “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. :]
