“The Bodyguard” Movie Review
“The Bodyguard” Plot Summary
A former Secret Service agent takes on the job of bodyguard to a pop singer, whose lifestyle is most unlike a President’s.
Great movie
Has everything. Whitney acts better than Costner, but great story and well made
Loved the references to Yojimbo
Good country scenes with the father from the Waltons. The characters rang true
The jealousy of Rachel’s sister rang true and added another dimension to the movie
And then there is the music. Incredible. Made the best use of Whitney’s voice. Most movies age, but in 2009 it still felt contemporary.1 point dropped for Costner’s acting. He is wooden in a number of scenes and doesn’t seem to choose the best delivery for each line.

“Zwartboek” Plot Summary
In the Nazi-occupied Netherlands during World War II, a Jewish singer infiltrates the regional Gestapo headquarters for the Dutch resistance.
a must see !
I just saw the movie and I loved it, the actors are fantastic, especially Carice Van Houten, who really carries the movie. I’d never seen her in a movie before and she is quite a revelation, I really hope to see more of her
As for Verhoeven, his come-back to the Netherlands paid off. The production is flawless, the action scenes are very well done, and he brings out the best of his cast. The movie captures perfectly the madness of the time, you can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys,there is nothing manipulative or Manichean in this movie,everything is not black and white. Not all Germans are monsters, the resist ants can be assholes and heroes lonely people who just try to survive.

“8MM” Movie Review
“8 Millimeter” Plot Summary
A private investigator is hired to discover if a “snuff film” is authentic or not.
One of best movies I have seen
8MM is one of best movies I have seen. Nicolas Cage plays his role very good, which I expected having seen ‘Lord or War ‘recently. The plot is interesting and so are the dialogs between characters. There are quite a few tense moments in the movie which is probably why I liked this movie that much
Again trough it is only a movie as someone may say it shows you a bit of the reality out there- the one which people don’t want to admit that it exists. The movie is basically a mystery with some action elements. My opinion is that its rating on IMDb should be much higher but well I guess not everyone likes movies like this one trough I wonder why since there are many other movies that are much harder to watch than this one
One of the best things about 8 MM is its soundtrack honestly it is rare to find such a carefully chosen music to go with the scenes.

“Across the Universe” Movie Review
“Across the Universe” Plot Summary
The music of the Beatles and the Vietnam War form the backdrop for the romance between an upper-class American girl and a poor Liverpudlian artist.
excellent and artistic film
This film is extraordinary. It is extremely artistic, thought provoking, and has substance. It may not be for everyone. If you have no sense of over laying, or collage, or recognizing parallel stories from history repeating themselves, you may not connect with it. But I found this film to be over the top creative and entertaining. Since I grew up in the 60’s, and I appreciate the music of the Beatles, there was a personal connection to all of it. A lot of fun yet deep emotions were brought to the surface. I know a creative mind when I see one and Taymor and her collaborators are a ‘10′ in this regard. I will see it again.

“Fight Club” Movie Review
“Fight Club” Plot Summary
An office employee and a soap salesman build a global organization to help vent male aggression.
Fight Club (1999)
I feel it’s appropriate that this is the first film I am reviewing, as this is the film that changed me. This is the film that made me so passionate about it and drove me to want to study film at a tertiary institution and, you guessed it, write my own reviews. Obviously I was already really into film before my first viewing of Fight Club, but it was this film that set off that spark
Don’t let the title fool you. As a film fanatic, I always view a film without any prior ideas or opinions. This allows me to be able to write what I really thought of the film instead of writing a review on what I thought the film was going to be like. I understand that a lot of people go into the cinemas or video store and choose something to watch with the help of titles and covers. Would you go into the video store and pick up a DVD called Fight Club that was rated R18 with graphic violence and offensive language? If no, then that’s prior opinion. I didn’t let the title create a prior opinion. Now that I’ve cleared up any confusion with the title, I’m going to make this statement: Fight Club is a masterpiece
Jack, the narrator (Edward Norton), is a chronic insomniac desperate to escape his excruciatingly boring life. He joins these support groups for dying people. It becomes an addiction because it cures his insomnia. However, it is taken away from him when this girl named Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) starts turning up to the same support groups. This is when he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a charismatic soap salesman with a twisted philosophy. Tyler believes self-improvement is for the weak it’s self-destruction that really makes life worth living. Before long, Jack and Tyler are beating each other to a pulp in a bar parking lot, a cathartic slugfest that delivers the ultimate high. To introduce other men to the simple joys of physical violence, Jack and Tyler form a secret Fight Club that becomes wildly successful. But there’s a shocking surprise waiting for Jack that will change everything
From the moment the opening credits start, the audience knows that it is going to be one bumpy ride. Fincher is well-known for having interesting and atmospheric opening credit sequences, and the beginning of Fight Club is no exception. The amount of adrenaline and thrill pumped into your veins as you view the opening credits is amazing. You cannot get much like it. Only Fincher could capture that mood and chuck it at you from the first few seconds of the film. From then on in, the film is fast and action fuelled, with moments of realisation, excessive violence, and even humour (Brad Pitt’s character Tyler Durden is comic relief in itself).
In my eyes, this film is a masterpiece. Every single element of the film is perfect. How the film is put together by Fincher, along with the soundtrack composed by The Dust Brothers, the storyline/twist ending, along with the superb performances from the actors and actresses, especially from Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter, Fight Club is and will probably remain my favourite film. 5 out of 5 stars. *****
