    “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” Movie Review

    “LXG” Plot Summary

    In an alternate Victorian Age world, a group of famous contemporary fantasy, SF and adventure characters team up on a secret mission.

    Really Good Film

    This is a really good film. I went to see it not knowing many of the details. I really enjoyed it. I believe that in order to appreciate this film, you need to have an open mind and not take it so literaly. I’ve read reviews of it in which the authors claim that not of the characters, or cars, or Nemos Sub, could work like they did. WELL DUH! It is a movie based on a comic book. It naturally wouldn’t be for real. I wonder what these people take us for. The other great thing about this movie is the characters. Some reviews stated that people wouldn’t understand this movie because the characters are not that new. That they’ve been around for a while and no one will remember them. The only two characters that I didn’t know were Allan Quatermain and Dorian Gray. But I would like to know more about them. So that in itself is good. It makes you want to know more about the characters. Bottom line… It is a really great film. Go see it with an open mind, and not take everything so literaly. You may find that you enjoy it. Don’t trust all the bad reviews. You should see for yourself. LXG is a really good film

    “Moulin Rouge” Movie Review

    “Moulin Rouge” Plot Summary

    A poet falls for a beautiful courtesan whom a jealous duke covets in this stylish musical, with music drawn from familiar 20th century sources. add synopsis

    The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to love, and to be loved in return…

    And so I went, journeying into the unforgettable trip that was ‘Moulin Rouge!’ – now and forever one of my all-time favourite MOVIES (not just movie musicals) ever! I simply cannot say enough to express how very deeply this film affected me when I first viewed it…it’s impossible. From the very first jaw-dropping image of the 20th-Century Fox logo bordered by a beautiful red velvet curtain and a bouncy conductor – I knew then that I was about to experience something I had never seen before. Grand, inspiring, original, flawless…everything that so many others have said in their descriptions of ‘Moulin Rouge!’ could not be put any better. This is the reason I am now a bona-fide fan of director Baz Luhrmann. I had actually seen some of his previous work – the hyperkinetic modern version of William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ – and from then on was absolutely hooked onto his visual flair. Likewise with ‘R+J’, ‘Moulin Rouge!’ oozes with theatrical energy, gorgeous costumes/set designs, terrific music, and of course, first-rate acting from its wonderful two leads, as well as the supporting cast

    Watching the first few minutes, I could unfortunately see why this movie was ignored and laughed at by many critics, filmgoers, etc.; apparently it developed a bit of a ‘cult’ following of sorts after that. I agree that it’s not for everybody – but come on, after I finished it, I remember thinking: ‘What’s wrong with everybody? This movie is a classic! What were the haters thinking?’ Granted, if you don’t like musicals, I can understand, but for others, I guess its overwhelming originality and unconventional wisdoms were too much for some people. Oh, well…you clearly can’t please everybody

    At any rate, this film deserved all the praise and award nominations it received and/or won. It’s certainly one of the more interesting and groundbreaking films released early in the new millennium, and it truly reminds some of us just why we love movies in the first place (or musicals, or MOVIE musicals, for that matter). It lifts our spirits with often-campy fun. It’s lovely, it’s larger-than-life, and it’s just plain phenomenal. A joy to watch and listen to

    I’ll stop gushing for now…I think I’ve made my point clear. Thank you.* * * TRUTH * BEAUTY * FREEDOM * LOVE * * *

    “Mission: Impossible II” Movie Review

    “M:I-2″ Plot Summary

    A secret agent is sent to Sydney, to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called “Chimera”

    great camerawork

    The camerawork is the best part of the movie. The storyline is nothing, something one could come up with in a spare moment on the bus/train. The acting is not bad, but that’s it… not bad

    There’s some modestly surprising scenes, but nothing special really. If you like action though… well, there’s plenty of that, and due to the great camerawork, the action is really enjoyable. However, if you want more than just a thin plot covered with action in a nice John Woo filming: watch another movie.
