    “MIB 2″ Plot Summary

    Agent J needs help so he is sent to find Agent K and restore his memory.

    Good

    Nice, really nice. It has an origin mostly comic but has good special effects. It was inevitable to see negative comments here, is the norm. Cmq a good movie, the environments are good actors suited to the type of film. He certainly part ironic, comic, the environments are very well and the result can be considered as satisfactory. It is a shame that here there are elements that bring more than 7 film ridiculous as the army of darkness and films such as van helsing a miserable 5. Shame! I disagree with the standards is happening here, I am not convinced. In some cases there are good reviews, in other see that there are some ‘too many prejudices against certain films!

    “Taxi Driver” Movie Review

    “Taxi Driver” Plot Summary

    A mentally unstable Vietnam war veteran works as nighttime taxi driver in a city whose perceived decadence and sleaze feeds his urge to violently lash out, attempting to save a teenage prostitute in the process.

    Best movie of the Seventies, and one of the greatest of all time.

    So much has been written and talked about ‘Taxi Driver’ that it seems almost redundant to add anything more. But watching it again the other night for the nth time I was, as I have been every single time I’ve seen it, struck by just how perfect this movie is. It is as powerful and disturbing now as it was twenty-five years ago. It has not only NOT aged, it gets better and more relevant every year. This is without doubt a modern classic, and one of the handful of truly great, timeless movies

    Scorsese and Schrader went on to make other great movies after this, both separately (‘The King Of Comedy’, ‘Light Sleeper’) and together (‘Raging Bull’, ‘The Last Temptation Of Christ’), but this is easily the best movie of their careers. And Robert De Niro’s too. He has yet to top his stunning performance here as the deeply disturbed and alienated Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle, cabbie and would be assassin. This character has not surprisingly entered movie legend. Scorsese surrounds De Niro with a first rate supporting cast, including small but effective roles from Harvey Keitel (‘Reservoir Dogs’), Peter Boyle (‘Hardcore’), the underrated Victor Argo (‘The King Of New York’) and Joe Spinell (‘Maniac’). Albert Brooks and Jodie Foster are also very good, and even Cybil Shepherd, the butt of many jokes, is fine as Bickle’s obsession

    When you combine these actors, Schrader’s outstanding script, and Scorsese’s brilliant direction, with the stunning cinematography (Michael Chapman) and haunting score (Hitchcock fave Bernard Herrmann’s final effort), you have yourself a truly unforgettable cinematic experience. If you haven’t seen ‘Taxi Driver’ I urge you to do so immediately. It is a masterpiece, pure and simple.

    “Dr. Dolittle” Plot Summary

    A Doctor finds out that he can understand what animals are saying. And the animals find out that he understands. add synopsis

    Fun to watch

    This movie was so much fun. I loved it! The idea of someone who could literally speak to animals was enough to make be want to see it. And it was fun to hear the animals talk. One of the things I like most about this movie is that it makes you believe what is going on. When you watch some movies, you don’t feel like what you’re watching is really happening. But Dr. Dolittle makes you believe that the animals are really talking. Every animal had its own personality, which made the movie all the more realistic. I give this movie a 9/10 out of 10. I really hope they make a sequal because this movie deserves one.

    “The Santa Clause” Movie Review

    “The Santa Clause” Plot Summary

    When a man inadvertantly kills Santa on Christmas Eve, he finds himself magically recruited to take his place. add synopsis

    A very pleasant and amiable family Christmas film

    I really liked this film, it is very funny and pleasant. Tim Allen gives a truly amusing performance as Scott Calvin, who replaces Santa after he falls off the roof. The plot is original, the script is fun, and the pace is surprisingly even. Don’t expect a classic like Scrooge(1951), the first 2 Home Alone movies or It’s a Wonderful Life, just expect a pleasant family Christmas film, that way the whole family is in for a good time. The film is directed with careful precision, and the characters are likable, though I did find the parents a tad too cliched and the film a tad too overly sentimental in places. If I had a favourite character, I think it was Judy, there was something about her truly infectious smile that made me warm to her. All in all, well above average and highly recommended. 8/10 Bethany Cox

    “Trainspotting” Movie Review

    “Trainspotting” Plot Summary

    Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends.

    One fantastic movie

    I saw this movie last year as a friend had it on DVD from the UK and, being a Ewan McGregor fan, I thought I’d give it a shot even though it’s considered an ‘artsy’ film. I was so shocked! It is a fantastic movie. I watched it over & over until she made me give it back. The young Ewan gives an Oscar-worthy (why he wasn’t nominated is beyond me) turn as the heroin addict trying to pull himself out and away from his addict buddies. He narrates the whole film with that rich Scot accent of his (reminds me of my Scottish grandparents) which gives even more depth to the characters and situations. The descent into the hell of addiction to the death of an innocent baby (very realistic) in their ‘home’, Ewan swimming through a vast sea of crap (yes, THAT kind) in a toilet, on through the entire film showing his constant struggle within himself amidst his friends to stay clean & sober is amazing. I could go on and on. It brings a memory of another film I saw years ago with a young Leo DiCaprio & David Thewlis in a little-seen movie called ‘Total Eclipse’ and which is also considered an ‘art’ film and really quite good. If you get a chance to see this, please do. You will not be sorry. If you happen to find it on DVD, BUY IT.

    “What Just Happened” Movie Review

    “What Just Happened” Plot Summary

    Two weeks in the life of a fading Hollywood producer who’s having a rough time trying to get his new picture made.

    A very entertaining and ironic, expository comedy!

    I just love a good comedy, especially if it’s searingly expository and has that unique ability to blow you away with one-liners and exceptionally witty dialogue. Barry Levinson’s ‘What Just Happened’ is one such comedy

    Written by Art Linson (and based on his memoir), the veteran Hollywood producer of, um…I have no idea what, this film is about a Hollywood producer (duh), who’s having trouble accompanied by serious amounts of stress in his life. His latest film which hasn’t yet been released is receiving hateful reviews because of a scene where a dog is murdered in cold-blood, so it’s his job to convince the high-strung, bohemian director to cut the scene away and fix the ending. (By the way, the dog IS fine, the animal wasn’t harmed). Meanwhile, his upcoming film is about to be closed down because the $20,000,000 star they hired for the leading macho heart-breaker leading role refuses to trim a Messiah-like beard and lose some weight

    This producer has to deal with finding a way to fix up those two problems, and deal with two broken marriages for which he has to pay child support and alimony. Whta we’re entreated to is a very honest memoir-to-film view of Hollywood and the, supposedly, ab-fab lifestyles producers, directors and actors are involved in

    Oh, don’t get me wrong. They DO live in multi-million dollar pads with every luxuriousness available to mankind, they DO travel in class and in the latest car designed, they DO believe themselves to be Kings of the World and therefore are entitled to throw hissies and destroy entire sets in a fit of rage because, ooh, they’re being paid twenty million dollars for a movie role and they refuse to shave their beards cuz it ‘interferes with their artistic sensibilities’.I consider this film to be an entertaining backstage look at how the movie-making process begins and ends, with high-chair studio executives controlling the board game, producers trying to make some sense into it, and directors and actors trying to salvage their artistic projects before they’re turned into money-grubbing crap

    Have I mentioned most of the dialogue in the film is held through phone conversations? Well, it is. It sort of reminds me of ‘Dr. Strangelove’ and how important decisions and courses of actions are decided through the phone while the speakers try to deal with their own little dramas. Only that in ‘Dr. Strangelove’ it’s nuclear war and potential human extinction; here it’s beard-shaving and scene-cutting

    The movie is, also, extremely funny. You’ll be chuckling your way through it all, and there’s a scene or two (plus a collection of stupendous one-liners) that will make you explode in laughter. Which, I think, is priceless nowadays, when apart from a few choice movies, every comedy churned out is basically silly and uninteresting

    There’s a great deal of irony here. I won’t go into details for fear of spoiling a surprise or two, but I must say that the pervasive use of irony in the film is to be applauded. This is one of the truly entertaining movie experiences you’ll have

    Rating: 3 stars and a half out of 4!!

    Based on the video game, Alone in the Dark focuses on Edward Carnby, a detective of the paranormal, who slowly unravels a mysterious events with deadly results.

    Brilliant casting

    Tara Reid as an intellectual, Christian Slater(usually great) as a dollar store Constantine and Stephen Dorff as…well it’s STEPHEN DORFF FOR Christ SAKE!!!! I personally just want to thank those brilliant casting directors for the hard work and effort. You guys are on. Heres an idea, just my humble lowly opinion as the movie going public but it follows directly with your previous choices,a movie about the most brilliant neuro-physicist in history invent one pill to cure all diseases ever known to man and get this, heres the clincher they have to be played by Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton. I knew you guys would love that. Seriously though you owe me $7.50.

    “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” Movie Review

    “The Far Side of the World” Plot Summary

    During the Napoleonic Wars, a brash British captain pushes his ship and crew to their limits in pursuit of a formidable French war vessel around South America.

    Beautiful Portrayal of life in a navy vessel in 1805

    I would like to start by saying Bravo! I liked the story, the execution of the story by the actors and the director. Russel Crowe really depicted the Captain well and I thought that the supporting cast were superb. The photography really enhanced the scope of the story, and I must take my hat off to the photographic skills of the photographic director

    One tends to forget that this story is not a high speed chase film with lots of blood and gore however it does have its share, although, the speed of the story is greatly paralleled by the speed at which a sea chase would have happened 200 years ago

    It is great to watch a movie that really gets to the heart of the emotions of the crew of a Man-Of-War vessel, not just making the crew look like the hardest SOB’s around

    And to that I take my hat off to the Cast and Crew, as well as the writers and the director and producers of this production.

    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.
