    “Eyes Wide Shut” Movie Review

    “EWS” Plot Summary

    A New York City doctor, who is married to an art curator, pushes himself on a harrowing and dangerous night-long odyssey of sexual and moral discovery after his wife admits that she once almost cheated on him.

    Kubrick’s finest achievement

    One of the most under-rated films of the decade, Eyes Wide Shut is a brilliant masterpiece, from the very opening of the film to its very end. Kubrick succeeds in what many good filmmakers failed before him- and conveys a beautiful imagery of our state of dreams, full of sexual symbolism and other dream-like symbols (notice the stop signs in the streets in front of Tom Cruise), and creates a feeling of total wandering; although consistent, due to the fact that every scene and dialogue is vital and neccecary for the film’s development

    Moreover, Kubrick’s use of music is even more genius than always, and Ligeti’s motif from Musica Ricercarta shows us the repetitive nature of dreams, together with a feeling that we don’t know where to go next

    And of course there is a note of marriage life, men’s sexuality (and the attempt to deny women’s sexuality) and the very fine acting of Cruise and Kidman, which was a postlude of there own relationship

    For me, this is the finest, most perfect film of Kubrick, and therefore one of the best films of all. A must see! 10/10

    “4: Rise of the Silver Surfer” Movie Review

    “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” Plot Summary

    The Fantastic Four learn that they aren’t the only super-powered beings in the universe when they square off against the powerful Silver Surfer and the planet-eating Galactus.

    The Best Movie of 2007…..So Far

    I was not a great fan of the first Fantastic Four movie. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed it for the pure fact that I could escape from reality for a couple of hours but it didn’t quite grab me like the first X Men or the first Spiderman movies – mainly due to too much character building. That did not put me off seeing FF2: ROTSS though as I knew that it would be SO much better than the first one – and boy was I right! Not only did this move have great special effects, some excellent humour and some real ‘WOW’ moments (all I will say is that the new spaceship is pretty awesome) but it also had one of the most curious and interesting characters in a comic book movie which came in the form of The Silver Surfer. Doug Jones did a great job and Larry Fishburne as the voice of The Silver Surfer is nowhere near as bad as some people make out. Along with The Silver Surfer came Galactus who is perhaps the most imposing and threatening bad guy ever created in a comic book movie

    All in all this was an amazing movie and I could quite happily go back to the cinema and watch it all over again – 10 out of 10 – best movie of 2007…..until Transformers!
