“Jaws 2″ Plot Summary
Police chief Brody must protect the citizens of Amity after a second monstrous shark begins terrorizing the waters. add synopsis
The mother of all sequals…
Jaws will always be remembered in history for so many things, but what I’ve chose to comment here, is about how sequels are now part of the main stream and how they are marketed. Planet of the Apes, and few other ‘franchises’ had existed before Jaws, but none have been copied, parodied, or are engraved in the mind of the public as the Jaws franchise. Jaws was one of the first film franchises to use a number after the title, along with aggressive add campains. For years every sequel that has come out uses something from the Jaws ‘book’ of ‘how to’ when it comes to sequels. Down to the taglines: ‘Just when you thought it was safe…,’ ‘See it before…’ ‘The (place your number here) dimension in terror’,…and the all too famous: ‘This time…it’s personal..’Face it, the Jaws sequels are bad, and yet still can be watched, because they are not as bad as most sequels, yet taught many film makers what NOT to do with a franchise.

“Harsh Times” Movie Review
“Harsh Times” Plot Summary
A tough-minded drama about two friends in South Central Los Angeles and the violence that comes between them.
Excellent movie
Bale’s performance in Harsh time is phenomenal this besides the machinist and American psycho have to be some of my favourite performances by him
The Chemistry between Freddie and Bale is great it seems like they’ve been ‘homies’ for years very tight friendship so you know how tight they are immediately and it makes you care for them
Bale’s character is a former soldier and he has major issues just imagine a soldier coming back for Vietnam with flash backs and such …pretty much they are never the same mentally again…that is bales character right there it’s much more deeper maybe someone will explain it better then me Freddie’s character is the guy who is a ride or die friend he’ll stick with you to end but he’s also a follower and get’s influenced very easily by bale’s character in the movie…I view it as Bale is like an older brother to him Eva Longoria is freddie’s girlfriend and she loves him to death because pirior Freddie stuck by here and help her out during university or college i can’t remember..All she wants now is for Freddie to get a Job but Bale’s influence always divides freddies focus on handing out his applications..She doesn’t like Bale’s character basically thinks he’s going to get freddie killed just imagine being with your friend throwing around a lot of cuss words but when your talking to someone at a business place you talk proper and not urban slang.. I’d say it’s a violent movie i mean there is some brutal scenes that will feed your violence fix….all in all this movie is pretty damn realistic

“Spanglish” Movie Review
“Spanglish” Plot Summary
A woman and her daughter emigrate from Mexico for a better life in America, where they start working for a family where the patriarch is a newly celebrated chef with an insecure wife.
Great Movie!
This movie was very good. I thought Adam Sandler was fabulous and it showed his ability as an actor. The pain the family was going through was definitely brought out in the film. When a film like this is released, a lot of people expect the actors in it to not do well. I thought that Adam Sandler really connected with the children, especially with the daughter, in this film. He has a good grasp on what it is like to be a parent, how to love children unconditionally. The tension between John (Adam) and Flor (Paz) is believable. They care so deeply for each other, yet they both understand what is at stake. Yet Deb (Tea) insecurities are believable when she has an affair. I thought the direction of the movie was great as well.

“My Big Fat Greek Wedding” Plot Summary
A young Greek woman falls in love with a non-Greek and struggles to get her family to accept him while she comes to terms with her heritage and cultural identity. add synopsis
Simply Great!
I happen to come from Jordan, and I can relate very much to the movie, as Greek traditions are very similar to Jordanian ones
If you happen to come from The Mediterranean region, you will simply fall in love with this movie. I’m sure that you’ll find a bit of each and every one of your family members in the characters of the movie
I think the movie does justice to the rich Greek culture in particular, the entire region in general. Although it contains certain exaggerations, but it all comes from a very honest background. Some may find it very similar to rural or less-cosmopolitan Greek cities, but I think that it summarizes the whole Greek culture in a very amusing way
The movie is definitely not to be missed, and I’m sure every person would enjoy it to the max.

“From Hell” Movie Review
“From Hell” Plot Summary
In Victorian Era London, a troubled clairvoyant police detective investigates the murders by Jack The Ripper. add synopsis
Surprisingly decent Jack the Ripper themed horror flick
Many interpretations of Jack the Ripper’s allegory have been delineated throughout the horror genre’s past era, and while ‘From Hell’ may not be the best, it portrays the historical events in a satisfactory manner. This particularly accurate account of the London serial killer shifts it’s focus between different sets of people residing in the Whitechapel District in 1888 – most interestingly, a circle of poverty stricken prostitutes who went on to become The Ripper’s unsuspecting victims while an impassive detective works at uncovering the identity of the elusive butcher. Several strewed instances of the killer, behind closed doors, are also eerily shown, as well as the much likely generalization pertaining to his identification and overall motive. ‘From Hell’ is far better from what you would expect from a Hollywood bio-flick, since it hardly embellishes any character or fabricates much of the story; remarkably cultivating a bleak and completely ‘unsafe’ tone throughout. The London streets always covey a feeling of deep menace, even without Jack prowling around, slashing up those rough n’ tumble whores. Johnny Depp, an actor who has never ‘wowed’ to any real extremes, is surprisingly subdued in his role as an opium addicted cop who never really steals the show away, as I initially expected. Heather Graham is way too smokin’ hot, and kind of looks like a fish-out-of-water among all those raggedy hookers, though I needs me some hot, red-headed eye candy every now and again (though she doesn’t get naked, unfortunately). Strangely, the real star here is the dark entity of The Ripper, whom we really only see for short amounts of time, though his presence is strong and the scenes where he entices harlots with grapes and opium laced shots before gouging the hell out of them is creepy… Also a good deal of bloodshed here, though often stylish during the murders, themselves (namely the luminescent flash of a blade in the dark, accompanied by CG blood spatter), the aftermath is pretty gruesome, even if quite subtle, aside from grisly descriptions of vaginal mutilation and symbolic intestinal extraction. Jack’s fifth and final murder, though significantly altered for a moderately happy ending, is brutal looking and anyone who as seen the actually crime scene photos while vouch for that. And be sure to keep an eye out for Joseph Merrick (aka. The Elephant Man) who makes a brief cameo! ‘From Hell’ is a fairly truthful biographical film, despite it’s ‘Hollywood’ attitude, and is well worth a look for Ripper enthusiasts.

“Transporter 3″ Plot Summary
Frank Martin puts the driving gloves on to deliver Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official, from Marseilles to Odessa on the Black Sea. En route, he has to contend with thugs who want to intercept Valentina’s safe delivery and not let his personal feelings get in the way of his dangerous objective.
Best out of all three of them
Jason Statham returns in his signature role as fearless ex-mercenary Frank Martin (aka The Transporter), a specialist in moving precious cargo of all kinds with a cool style and attitude. I liked the previous Transporter films and this one is the best out of all of them not mainly because of the action but because this one had a better story-line than the first two. The story is about Frank Martin has been pressured into transporting Valentina (by using a device which prevents him from moving 75 feet from his car or the bomb explodes) the kidnapped daughter of Leonid Vasilev the head of the Environmental Protection Agency for Ukraine, from Marseilles through Stuttgart and Budapest until he ends up in Odessa on the Black Sea. Along the way, with the help of Inspector Tarconi, Frank has to contend with the people who strong armed him to take the job, agents sent by Vasilev to intercept him, and the general non-cooperation of his passenger. Despite Valentina’s cynical disposition and Frank’s resistance to get involved, Frank and Valentina fall for each other, while escaping from one life-threatening situation after another. Statham again drives an armoured Audi S8 in the film
Other than the story the movie was loaded with ultra cool action sequences and spectacular stunts that will keep you in the edge of your seat. I’m generally not really keen in action movies because they are all the same but Transporter 3 is different and I had a good time watching it. Overall it is a fun, popcorn action movie of the year.

“Ghost” Movie Review
“Ghost” Plot Summary
After being killed during a botched mugging, a man’s love for his partner enables him to remain on earth as a ghost. add synopsis
Love is a powerful emotion
If you have ever lost a loved one and want to believe that they are still somewhere you will be touch by the wonderful and not over sentimental ‘Ghost’.Some people may not find ‘Ghost’ to have any sense but if you are romantic and open-minded it will hit you like the fast moving train.’Ghost’ is an epic love story of Molly (Demi Moore) and Sam (gorgeous Patrick Swayze) who have so strong relationship but it is taken from them so early. After a tragic mugging episode the banker Sam loose his life and leaves Molly to face the cruel reality on her own. Sam is persistent to let Molly know that he is still there watching and protecting her. By the act of coincidence Sam finds a way to communicate his loved one with the help of fraud sidekick Oda Mae Brown (hilarious Whoopi Goldberg whose Academy Award-winning performance was very well earned!). There is some twist and turns, some difficulties but nothing can stop the true love finding it ways. Even if it does mean beyond the grave.’Ghost’ was the unexpected hit movie of the year 1990. It won two Oscars. Dazzling Goldberg got a Golden Man for Best Supporting Actress and Bruce Joel Rubin got his prize for his writing skills. It launched the era of new special effect techniques, and boosted the careers of Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze
First time I saw the movie it didn’t affect me as much as it did when I saw it for the second time. I wept like a little waterfall and felt strongly that there must be a life after death
Vincent Schiavelli was dark but sympathetic Subway Ghost who guided Sam on his path to become a real ghost
The film produced some of the funniest scenes in movie history. While Sam is trying to get Oda Mae to help him he tortures her by singing in a monotonous, deep-voiced way ‘I’m Henry the Eight I am’! That’s so great. Also the word ‘ditto’ became famous. I bet the ‘Ghost-generation’ has repeatedly said it to their loved ones
If you manage get your mind open and let ‘Ghost’ into your heart it effects might just surprise you! 9,5/10

“The Last King of Scotland” Movie Review
“The Last King of Scotland” Plot Summary
Based on the events of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin’s regime as seen by his personal physician during the 1970s
Great Acting! and Gillian Anderson!
I like movies based on real people in history. Because of the Oscar buzz surrounding Forest Whitaker now, I knew this movie is about Idi Amin. This is of course a familiar name in my childhood (asked in General Information contests), but I don’t really know much about him, except that he was a dictator
This film has a documentary feel to it. It is really very realistic, even if upon reading background info that the Dr. Garrigan character is fictional. Even though granted that the Idi Amin regime was compressed into a coherent Hollywood storyline, it does not feel contrived. The final sequence of events at the Entebbe Airport was very suspenseful indeed
Idi Amin was not really the lead character in this movie. It is actually Dr. Nicholas Garrigan. Being a physician, I could not help but be able to identify with his situation and dilemmas. Would you accept to be the personal physician of a country’s president upon his personal request? It seems to be an offer and career opportunity you could not refuse
There is sex and violence in this movie. I could not agree though with Dr. Garrigan’s rashness regarding his love affairs, particularly his morals of hooking up with wives of his supposed friends. But considering that this movie is set in the 1970s, that was a totally different world pre-HIV. The violence, what can I say? After watching one violent film after the other, you get sort of anesthetized already. That said, the scene with hooks at the airport was still something else! The acting is very good. Forest Whitaker has channeled the Idi Amin persona very effectively. I could feel the scary and suffocating craziness whenever he is on screen. There’s something about this performance being based on a real character though. I think it would be harder to essay a totally fictional character since you have to create this new character from scratch. And I feel James McAvoy (who was actually Mr. Tumnus in ‘Narnia’!) did so very well as Dr. Garrigan. You dislike him, yet you can empathize the stickiness of his situation
Before I end this review, I have to mention that I was very happy to see the luminous Ms. Gillian Anderson again. I totally did not know she was in this film and it was a welcome surprise. She handled her few scenes as the wife of a volunteer doctor very well indeed. I hope she gets meatier movie roles in the future.

“The Addams Family” Plot Summary
Con artists plan to fleece the eccentric family using an accomplice who claims to be their long lost Uncle Fester. add synopsis
Great fun from the Addams Family!
Well, I finally managed to write a review on this, and I have to say, I like this a lot. I do think Values is marginally better, but both are solid entertainment, two good examples of films, driven by character not plot(though there was a very good one in both films). Like Values, the rating is too low, why? My only criticism, is that I don’t like the rap song over the end credits at all. Apart from that, it had spirited direction, great incidental music, great performances, and a gem of a black humour filled script
The plot is simple but grabs the attention of adults, as young children might not understand it. The script is witty, dark and very funny, something that Reunion forgot to add to the proceedings. Barry Sonnenfield directs with spirit and enthusiasm, but it’s the performances that I was most impressed with
Raul Julia and Angelica Huston were perfect as Gomez and Morticia, and I was sure that Tim Curry and Daryl Hannah would have been, had they a half-decent script and director to work with.(alas!) Christopher Lloyd was great fun as Fester, but the performance of Christina Ricci steals the film. Everyone else deserves a mention
In conclusion, a well-done and inventive film, with a 9/10 from me! Bethany Cox

“Legend” Movie Review
“Legend” Plot Summary
A young man must stop the Lord of Darkness from both destroying daylight and marrying the woman he loves.
Mediocre Film That Looks Great . . .
‘Legend’, The Director’s Cut (1985/2002), Unrated, One Hour & 54 Minutes –and– U.S. Theatrical Version (1986), Rated ‘PG’ by the MPAA, One Hour & 30 Minutes. Content includes: Mild Adult Language, Some Mild Sexual Innuendos, Violence and Some Disturbing Imagery
My Take ** (Out of ****) or 6/10 on the IMDb Scale.’Legend’ is triumph of art direction, make-up, costume and set design. It’s a great movie to look at, but not much else. That goes for both versions of the picture, The Director’s Cut or the U.S. Theatrical Version.’Legend’ wants to be a mythical fairy tale. It tells of Darkness (Tim Curry), a demonic overlord, who has been banished from the world to his dark kingdom to reign in exile. The world is a beautiful place of perpetual springtime, complete with sunshine, tweeting birds, pollen in the air and tree blossoms in abundance. The world is kept pure and protected by two unicorns who both harbor goodness, truth and light
However, Darkness is plotting his return to the world for a hostile takeover. If his lackeys can take out the two unicorns, then Darkness will once again rise to dominate the world. This is not very appealing to Jack (Tom Cruise), a young man who lives in a storybook forest. Jack shares a romance of innocence with the lovely maiden Lily (Mia Sara). When Darkness makes his move for world domination, the world is plunged into a chaotic dark winter. Darkness kidnaps Lily to corrupt her and make her his dark bride. It’s up to Jack and his motley crew of fairy friends to put the kabash on Darkness before all hope is lost . . .Sounds like the groundwork for a fun picture, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, that’s not the case. For as visually arousing as the film is, it’s highly underdeveloped. ‘Legend’ is all style, with no substance. That’s too bad. Everything looks great and the adventure could have been a really great one too
One problem with ‘Legend’ is you don’t care about anyone or anything in it. There’s nothing interesting, funny, witty or imaginative about any of the characters, except for maybe Darkness. We’ve all seen this kind of story before: Evil is out to vanquish good, the young lad becomes a hero to save the girl and set the wrong things right. It’s a timeless story. No doubt, we’ll keep seeing it time and time again. When it’s done right, we love it. A good example would be the original ‘Star Wars’ (1977). But ‘Legend’ doesn’t do it right. We’re not gripped in the slightest
Tom Cruise as Jack spends a great deal of the picture looking scared or bewildered. Sara Mia, better known as Matthew Broderick’s girlfriend in ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ (1986), is an adequate damsel in distress. Naive, but nice. The scene stealer is Tim Curry as Darkness. He looks great! He is layered in make-up and paint, but he truly looks like the devil, complete with gigantic horns, goat ears, red skin, yellow eyes, a Charles Atlas figure and goat legs. Oddly enough, Curry’s performance shines though the latex making Darkness convincing as a sinister presence
As indicated, the rest of the characters are fairly one dimensional cliches from other (& better) fantasy tales. They’re only here as plot devices, completely devoid of any other purpose, to get you through the movie from Point ‘A’ to Point ‘B’. You don’t care for them or empathize with them in any way or about their plight. To make a movie like this work, you should at least care about the outcome of it’s characters. If you don’t, then what’s the point of watching it in the first place? The Director’s Cut is more whimsical. It’s about 24 minutes longer and has extended dialog with longer scenes. Most notably, this version firmly establishes the lovely Lily as a princess, while the American version is decidedly ambiguous about her background. Also notable is Lily’s singing in the forest and to the unicorns. This is more storybook like and I suppose this behavior is to be expected of maidens
The Director’s Cut boasts a lyrical score by Jerry Goldsmith. It’s beautifully done and serves the storybook aspect of ‘Legend’ very well
The U.S. version is scored by the rock group Tangerine Dream. What I liked about this score is that it’s a departure from what is traditionally heard in this kind of picture. I thought this score was a fresh approach to the ‘fairy-tale’/’storybook’ genre
Director Ridley Scott has described his director’s version of ‘Legend’ as being the more sophisticated of the two versions. In some ways he’s right. Then again, both versions of the picture are rather muddled and lack coherence or any real direction. Both pictures feel choppy, unrealized and cobbled together from other fantasies minus the spark that makes the good ones work in the first place
Does ‘Legend’ have a saving grace? It’s a visual roller-coaster. It’s great to look at. It reminds me of fantasy paintings that have come to life. Too bad that the life we see in the movie is lifeless. If you can get around that fact, then either version of ‘Legend’ at it’s best will be excellent eye candy with terrific cinema-photography and great music, whether it’s Goldsmith or Tangerine Dream as the music provider. In my opinion, The Director’s Cut and the U.S. Theatrical Version are on they same par in terms of quality. One is not better then the other. ‘Legend’ isn’t that good to begin with. To be fair, it’s not bad either. If it wasn’t for the film’s visual style, there would really be no reason to even consider watching this picture. ‘Legend’ is a missed opportunity that left me wanting more from it then what I was given . . .
