“Lord of War” Movie Review
“Lord of War” Plot Summary
An arms dealer confronts the morality of his work as he is being chased by an Interpol agent.
A ‘Stylish’ Look At Arms Dealing
This was a very pleasant surprise, far better than I had ever hoped, filled with fabulous cinematography and riveting story about the life of arms dealer during the 1980s and ’90s
It was an interesting film, to say the least, and Nicholas Cage was terrific as the lead character, ‘Yuri Orlov.’ I loved his narration, too. How much of what he said is true, I have no idea, but it’s fascinating stuff. Don’t believe a lot of it, even when they tell you it is ‘based’ on true events. Most of still can (and usually) is made up for dramatic purposes
I felt those visuals, combined with the outstanding acting and always-interesting story made this a good film. It also proved you don’t need action every two minutes to keep a film involving for the audience. This has just the right amount of drama, suspense, action, romance and, yes, even humor. With all the political comments made here in the narration I was wondering if I was going to hear the typical Democrat whine and sure enough, late in the film a comment is made regarding the 2000 elections. The liberals still can’t get over losing, fair and square. They just can’t accept that. This is about the fifth time I’ve heard this in 2007 films although at least time, the guy making the absurd statement was the Liberian dictator…..but it really was the film maker, of course. Despite that, and the very pessimistic storyline that evil always wins in the world. According to Bible of ‘Yuri,’ in the end, the meek won’t inherit the earth; the arms dealers will and that evil rules, so why fight it and yourself over it. Wow, what uplifting words to live by. Outside of Yuri’s wife ‘Ava’ (Bridget Moynahan) and the man who pursues him, ‘Jack Valentine’ (Ethan Hawke) no one in here has much in the way of high-ground morals. At least they made the lawman an honest; that’s rare in films today. Jared Leto plays Cage’s brother ‘Vitaly’ and plays his standard slime-ball character. Wow, this guy is becoming the male Jennifer Jason Leigh, regarding sleazy roles. Everyone was solid in here, from the Americans to the Russians the Africans….and all intriguing people. Ian Holm as rival arms dealer ‘Simeon Weisz’ deserves mention
Amir Mokri is the cinematographer and Andrew Niccol, the director, who combined to make this movie look so stylish and beautiful to see. Looking at Mokri’s resume, I see he’s done a number of stylish films. Niccol hasn’t directed much but what he has also offers interesting visuals
Looking at the front and back cover of the DVD might make you think this is just another of these brainless action flicks, but it is not. This is solid film.

“Rocky II” Movie Review
“Rocky 2″ Plot Summary
Rocky struggles in family life after his bout with Apollo Creed, while the embarrassed champ insistently goads him to accept a challenge for a rematch.
I liked it a lot
Rocky 2 is a really good movie however I honestly don’t think its a necessary movie. The only real difference between this movie and the original is that Rocky wins in this one. I wanted Rocky to win in the first one like every underdog movie but the point of the first one was for him to go the distance. This movie is the ending that I would have liked for Rocky I but I honestly don’t think there needed to be a movie just for that. I enjoyed Rocky 2 and its a good sequel but I don’t think the movies necessary and its not necessary in the Rocky time line. I’ve seen worst Sports Movies and I’ve seen better Sports Movies. The movie also deals with how Rocky would seem if he was rich which is entertaining and interesting.

“The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” Movie Review
“The Mummy 3″ Plot Summary
In the Far East, Alex O’Connell, the son of famed mummy fighters Rick and Evy O’Connell, unearths the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin — a shape-shifting entity cursed by a witch centuries ago.
Fun
My one-word summary pretty much says it all for me. Mummy 3 is, like the previous installments, a fun distraction from all the bad news that the front page of the newspaper reminds us of every day
Frasier is back as Rick O’Connell. Leaner and meaner from the last time we saw the character in 2001, Frasier brings the same A-game to what is essentially B-movie fun. Much has been made of Maria Bello replacing Rachel Weisz as Evie. Yes, Maria is no Rachel, but still, she is more than up for the challenge. Everyone involved seems to be having a lot of fun. It was great to have John Hannah back as Jonathan, he is always great to have around to lighten the atmosphere. Luke Ford is believable as Alex O’Connell. He has many of the same traits and physicality of Frasier’s ‘Rick’ that you believe this is what Rick and Evie’s could would look like and act like. The effects, like in the previous films, are good enough to tell the story, but will not win any academy awards. Many miss that point; these films are supposed to appear lower budget and have predictable stories. They are homages to the films that the Indy series is steeped in. There is nothing highbrow here, but there is plenty of entertainment for a much needed distraction
Jet Li does a lot with saying very little. His Emporer is much like Imotep in that he spends a good portion of the film not in flesh form. He is given much more screen time than I thought he would. I did think there was a martial arts geek moment missed when the fight between Li and Yeoh was not longer. These are two of the greats and it would have been fun to see them go at it longer
The story is pretty much the usual fare for the Mummy films. We have an opening prologue that sets the stage and then our heroes stumble into the middle of everything and some how come out on the end. Simple, but fun story telling. All in all, great way to spend 2hrs just sitting back and watching the O’Connell’s and Co. take on another adventure.

“The Sum of All Fears” Plot Summary
CIA analyst Jack Ryan must thwart the plans of a terrorist faction that threatens to induce a catastrophic conflict between the United States and Russia’s newly elected president by detonating a nuclear weapon at a football game in Baltimore. add synopsis
Well Made Thriller
Sum of All Fears is an enjoyable thriller and the type of movie the Hollywood studios have always been good at making. It’s slick, expensive-looking, well-acted and two hours of far-fetched fun. Ben Affleck plays CIA Agent and superman Jack Ryan PhD. Ryan is a former marine, linguist, all-round polymath who usually saves the world from impending disaster. Affleck is youthful and convincing as Ryan and makes him seem fallible and likable. Ryan becomes a confidant of the wise and sensible CIA Director Bill Cabot (Morgan Freeman) and acquires a beautiful and successful girlfriend (Bridget Moynahan) who believes he’s a historian. The plot is complicated and involves a new Russian leader (Ciaran Hands) who spouts anti-U.S. rhetoric. A Russian chemical attack on Chechnya increases the tension between the two countries. An Israeli atomic bomb is found in the Egyption desert,a relic of the 1973 Arab-Israeli conflict. Neo-Nazi terrorists (led by Alan Bates) want to provoke a nuclear conflict between America and Russia. They acquire the bomb from a South African arms dealer and explode it in Baltimore. The U.S. blames the Russians and the two countries are about to commence all-out nuclear war until Ryan works out what is happening and all ends happily. The message is that the new Russian leaders are reasonable men signifying that the world has moved on from the Commie bashing flicks of the 1980s
The idea of a terrorist nuclear attack is topical, but unfortunately the Neo-Nazi villains seem very 1970s. The film has good character actors in supporting roles (e.g., Liev Schrieber, James Cromwell). I much prefer Afflek’s Ryan to that of the 52 year-old Harrison Ford who by 1994’s Clear and Present Danger seemed too old and surly to play the role.

“The Mummy Returns” Movie Review
“The Mummy 2″ Plot Summary
The mummified body of Imhotep is shipped to a museum in London, where he once again wakes and begins his campaign of rage and terror. add synopsis
Great Movie!!!
This was a great movie that I think is better than the first but then again, you can’t beat the original right? I loved The Mummy but what I love even more is how the characters develop 10 years later. There is a lot of VFX but if you listen to the commentary you will find some reasons as to why some of the places were created in VFX (mostly because in the back of most of these cities are skyscrapers).
Again, Imhotep is brought back as the main villain but the Scorpion King is also brought into the plot which makes it a little more interesting by putting more depth into the story and having Imhotep fear him. Our good guys, the O’Connells are also mixed in a little more by making this story personal with the kidnapping of their son, Alex
Imhotep is still pretty much the same character as was before but now Anack-Su-Namun is in this movie a lot more which makes him be kind of protective of her. Anack-Su-Namun is now obviously more than a CG animation undead mummy, she is now reincarnated but only in body as Meela. Imhotep soon brings her soul back from the underworld though. Evy has also had more depth because we learn that she and Rick are more connected to the story than we thought. Evy is a reincarnated princess and Rick is apparently a Madjai. Evy has also changed from being the librarian for the Cario Museum to an archaeologist who in Racel Weisz’s words ‘hooked on adrenaline’. Johnathon is well, still the same old Johnathon
The acting and portrayal of all of the characters was done very well. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz both did a fantastic job portraying their characters. You could see that together they had great chemistry and also they did well in developing but somehow keeping the same characters that we know. Rachel had to change Evy into more of an included person in the action sequences and show how much 10 years changed Evelyn. Brendan had to basically keep his same character from before and also develop him just a little like make him more into the dad type character, which he did very well with. Overall I think The Mummy Returns is a great movie to watch over and over with friends, family or whomever else you choose.

“Rocky IV” Movie Review
“Rocky 4″ Plot Summary
When Apollo Creed is killed in a match against a powerful Soviet boxer, Rocky decides to challenge him himself. add synopsis
Much different from Rocky 1 but still entertaining
Rated PG for Violence.
Rocky 1 was an Oscar-winning film with great acting,storyline,drama etc
Rocky 2 also had the drama and Rocky III had more action but still mixed drama into the storyline
Rocky IV came out and it was much different from the first film
This film is basically a revenge film which trades the original Bill Conti score for an all new heart-pumping 1980’s soundtrack
I think the soundtrack in this film is better but that’s probably because I like the type of music
The film’s storyline and acting may not be that good especially in comparison to the first Rocky film but the movie is very fun and it should keep you entertained for the short 1hr and 30min run time
This film and Rambo First Blood Part II were both films that portray the Russians as villains
Back in 1985, when both films were released, the USA and Russia were enemies and that is what contributed to the box office
This film and Rambo 2 were big high grossing movies
In this one, a Russian boxer named Ivan Drago(Dolph Lundgren) challenges American boxer’s to fight
Apollo Creed who has retired earlier, wants to fight him
During the match, he puts on a big show about America with James Brown singing
However, Ivan Drago who is very strong, kills Apollo in the ring
Drago does not seem very sorry that he killed him, so then Rocky Balboa decides to travel to Moscow, Russia to fight Drago
So he goes to Russia, trains in the show with heart-pumping 1980’s music playing and then fights Drago in which is one of the best fight’s in the series
Rocky IV may not have the good storyline of the first two films but it is a very fun and entertaining movie.

“I, Robot” Movie Review
“I, Robot” Plot Summary
In the year 2035 a techno-phobic cop investigates a crime that may have been perpetrated by a robot, which leads to a larger threat to humanity.
clever idea which starts badly and finishes well
SPOILERS Artificial Intelligence and our dependency upon machines. A subject area so frequently asked, that it’s a wonder we ever get anything done. Stretching back to the 1920s and ‘Metropolis’ cinema has raised this topic many times, and often the end result has been negative. In 2004’s ‘I, Robot’, the notion of robots and their role in society was brought up. In a story involving artificial intelligence and a not too distant future where robots were everywhere, the film deals with the subject area brilliantly. Led by a surprisingly good performance by Will Smith, it is an enjoyable film which is ruined only slightly by it’s ridiculously large number of product placements throughout
The year is 2035 and robots are everywhere. Doing small jobs like rubbish collection and dog walking, they are humanities friends. That is the view of everyone that is except for Detroit cop Del Spooner (Will Smith). With a strong hatred of robots, Spooner feels something is going to go wrong. Unfortunately for humanity, he just might be right.’I, Robot’ starts off badly. Attempting to set the scene by introducing our character and his surroundings, the film manages to contain more product advertisements in it’s first twenty minutes, than you get during the entire of the Superbowl. From Spooner’s interest in ‘classic’ shoes through to the emblem on his car, the film’s beginning smacks of product placement. Luckily for the film and the audiences however, this placement does eventually stop
After some of the film is paid for by the lucrative advertising connections, the story does actually take off at a decent speed. Introducing the idealistic robot psychologist Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan) and the ‘unique’ robot Sonny (Alan Tudyk), we slowly begin to become immersed in a tense ‘who dunnit’ story with large amounts of action and a detailed philosophy on existence
The philosophy involved is remarkably logical actually. Far too often in Hollywood the combination of philosophy and action is ridiculously unbalanced. Whether in the second Matrix film where they stupidly fitted a complex and confusing philosophy into one ten minute period, or in other styles, far too often the action is either corrupted by the philosophy or vice versa. Therefore it is actually quite a pleasant surprise for a film to be so exciting, yet so logical
Thanks to the original writings of Isaac Asimov, the story of ‘I,Robot’ works well because the philosophy is an already recognisable one. Asimov’s theories on artificial intelligence have been mentioned in countless different films, but few have truly considered the implications of the rules and how you interpret them. For this in itself, ‘I, Robot’ deserves a lot of praise
In terms of acting, ‘I, Robot’ is a surprising experience. When Will Smith first wakes up with his hat on, the first question is how long until he really begins to grate. Amazingly though, like the product placements, after the first twenty minutes, Smith really begins to fit into his role and provides an appealing performance as the pessimistic Spooner
Smith is also assisted by a decent supporting cast. Using the same technology as was used for Gollum in ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Alan Tudyk is brilliant as Sonny the robot with emotions and a heart of gold. The highlight of the supporting stars though is the always brilliant James Cromwell as the deceased creator of robots everywhere. Cromwell has made some excellent career choices over the years and once again he shines throughout
It’s always a pleasant surprise to encounter an action film which has thought in it too. Adopting the theories of Asimov, ‘I, Robot’ is a well made film with huge amounts of action and some deeply philosophical questions about existence. Sadly though, the film is let down due to an irritating first twenty minutes. Setting the scene and exploring a leading character is never a problem, but when a film sells it’s soul with excessive, not even subtle, product placement, any dignity it has goes out the window. Whoever chose to allow such blatant disregard for the intelligence of the viewer should know better, mainly because ‘I,Robot’ deserves more than that.
