“Frost/Nixon” Movie Review
“Frost/Nixon” Plot Summary
A dramatic retelling of the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon.
Absolutely Brilliant
As a teenager in Australia when Nixon resigned, I didn’t really understand the impact of his actions at the time. It’s only later that I’ve come to believe in his betrayal not just of American politics but of all democracies that have the same fundamental beliefs
So I went to see this film with some anticipation and was not disappointed. If Ron Howard was not considered a great director before, then surely he must be after this. The greatest problem with filming stage plays is overcoming the sense of ’staticness’. But Howard’s superb use of different camera techniques which allow both a sense of movement but do not distract from the stunning acting performances
Whilst Frank Langella is quite rightly getting a lot of attention for his remarkable performance (he manages to humanise Nixon, a feat I would have thought impossible), do not dismiss Michael Sheen’s mesmerising effort as David Frost. Both men inhabit their characters, not just play them
The support cast is excellent; Kevin Bacon reminds me of Eastwood at times and they are the best roles Oliver Platt and Sam Rockwell have had in a while
A masterpiece.

“The Haunted Mansion” Movie Review
“The Haunted Mansion” Plot Summary
Workaholic Jim Evers, his wife/business partner and their two kids are summoned to a mansion. When they discover that the place is haunted, Jim discovers an important lesson about the family he’s neglected as they attempt to escape.
Disney’s Latest Ghost Story
‘The Haunted Mansion’ is the latest movie to be based upon an attraction at the Disney theme parks. It stars Eddie Murphy as Jim Evers, a workaholic real estate agent who finds himself and his family trapped in a mansion infested with ghosts. The movie doesn’t rank as well as ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’ The story isn’t all that it should be. But the movie does have its good points. The art direction is beautiful, and there are plenty of visual gems. The ghosts seen in the graveyard are probably the best part of the movie. Terence Stamp puts in a suitably creepy performance as Ramsley, the butler, and Jennifer Tilly is kooky as Madame Leota. ‘The Haunted Mansion’ is no ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ but it is still worth a look.

“3000 Miles to Graceland” Plot Summary
A gang of ex-cons rob a casino during Elvis convention week. add synopsis
one of the BEST action movies ever
After watching the trailer, I thought it would be a funny movie, a bit stupid but funny (Costner and Russell as Elvis impersonators are hilarious). What a surprise! What I finally saw is one of the best action movies I’ve seen in a long time. It even has a plot you can follow, doesn’t need bloody guts and severed body parts to be shown in close-up. It is ‘just’ a film about bank robbers, that decided to rob a casino, ‘because everybody else robs banks’. There is a huge shootout and security guards and innocent bystanders drop dead by the dozen. The rivalry between the robbers evolves and finally leads (through some twists)to the showdown between Costner / Russell / dozens of law enforcers. The way Costner portraits the lunatic (actually believing himself to be one of Elvis’ illegitimate children)is just fantastic and worth watching the movie. Russell is also wonderful to watch, as the ex-con who just wants to get enough money to settle down on his boat (nice twist there)and who doesn’t share the enthusiasm of the others for killing. Even Cox as the ‘woman in the middle’ shows a surprisingly good performance. Admittedly, you don’t have to switch on your brain to understand it, but it is really cool to watch, funny and entertaining. If you don’t want to spend any money on a theater ticket, get it on DVD – it’s worth it.
