“Spider-Man 2″ Movie Review
“Spiderman 2″ Plot Summary
Peter Parker is beset with troubles in his failing personal life as he battles a brilliant scientist named Doctor Otto Octavius, who becomes Doctor Octopus (aka Doc Ock), after an accident causes him to bond psychically with mechanical tentacles that do his bidding. add synopsis
Better than the first!
I for one was not totally blown away by the first Spider-Man film. Yes, it is a good comic to film, but somehow I just didn’t get caught up in all the hoopla. That was changed with Spider-Man 2. This film took the successful elements from the first (character and acting) and pushed it up another notch
We were given again only 1 new villain, this saved much needed time to flesh out Peter Parker/Spider-Man as well as further the other story lines going on with those surrounding Peter. The struggle that Peter goes through; should he or shouldn’t he sacrifice his life for others, is handled beautifully here. You feel that struggle. He may be a ’superhero’, but he is still just a kid trying to sort out his life. A life that seems to sucker punch him every single day. I thought this was the most logical step to take the franchise after the introduction in the first. The special effects this time were much improved over the first. Many times I was taken out of the moment in the first film because the effects looked to much like effects and were not natural. That is still a problem from time to time here again, but by in large a much better outing
Story, performances, effects, all were improved in the 2nd installment, something we just don’t see happen a lot. One of the best comic to film productions ever in my opinion.

“Spider-Man 3″ Movie Review
“Spider-Man 3″ Plot Summary
A strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge.
Better Then I Ever Imagined
Sam Raimi once again directs this visual, emotional, and stunning sequel
This movie picks up pretty much where Spider-man 2 had left off from. The first 20 minutes of the movie really rush through everyones story including Sandman and the arrival of Venom. Spider-man is now a huge star in New York in this movie, loved by everyone, while Mary Jane in the beginning is loving her career as an actress on stage. Harry Osborn is an angry and bitter human being driven to kill Peter Parker because he now knows that he is Spider-man and in his eyes, the man who killed his father
As the story goes on we learn that the sandman is really a man named Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church) who is a man who just broke out of jail, he is also a man who is trying to heal his sick daughter. Venom is a man named Eddie Brock, who is trying to steal the job that Peter currently has and hates Peter. Harry early on in the movie loses his some of his memory in a fight against Peter
While the movie does rush through these stories in the beginning, it does it smoothly and makes each scene look its best. The Sandman was done so beautifully in this movie and the emotion of the character really doesn’t make him feel like a villain. Venom however, is complete evil and that really is the main focus of the movie for the most part. When the black suit takes over Peter, it is actually pretty funny because we see Peter acting cool and bad, pointing at all the girls that pass and Maguire plays it so well, dancing in the streets, those scenes are just so golden
Topher Grace really proved he could play this character, there were some doubts because he is not a muscular guy like the character in the comics was but he does it wonderfully, the comedy he’s given is weak but that really doesn’t matter. The Venom character when it takes over Brock is not really what the comics has, its really more like the cartoon from the 1990’s but it works really well and fits the tone of the film. Sandman just looks plain awesome in this picture, they really made him look like what he did in the comics, with a few updates
The comedy in this film is just plain great, characters like Jameson will have you in tears because you will be laughing so hard. Jameson’s first scene is absolutely wonderful
The action is great, and the thing about the action in this movie is that it is not overdone, this movie does not have too many action scenes, they really do focus on the story more then the action, which was really great
There is also a lot of drama, this is one of few movies, mainly comic book movies, that almost brought me to tears because the acting is so good, if someone doesn’t get an Oscar, i’ll be angry, lol. The story actually brings the truth on how Ben Parker dies, which was so well done. Mary Jane and Peter Parker’s relationship goes through so many turns (and a very unexpected moment happens in a jazz club were M.J. works when Peter is fighting guards in the club). The story with Harry and Peter, The Sandman’s story, Aunt May also has some emotional moments in this. It is all so wonderfully acted that you will feel like crying
Overall, a 10 out of 10, i loved this film, and i wouldn’t mind seeing this several more times in theaters.

“Seabiscuit” Plot Summary
True story of the undersized Depression-era racehorse whose victories lifted not only the spirits of the team behind it but also those of their nation. add synopsis
Good movie
One of my favorite movies. Movies based off of books make me read the book, but with this, that isn’t so. This movie and the Harry Potter ones are good enough that I don’t need to read the book- and I read all the time.. avid reader. When I first watched it years ago, it was a little boring at the beginning. I now fast forward the beginning, as I already know it and want to watch the horse parts. I think horse people would like this movie more than non-horse people. But all movies will have people that like it and don’t; different tastes and opinions, but I like this movie. There were inappropriate scenes that I’d hate when I was younger, but the horse racing is exciting. I think Seabiscuit wins… and that was like ‘Duh.’ Of course he wins. I like things that are odd/different and unlikely to succeed, so I liked the plot, the odd little horse, large jockey…

“Brothers” Movie Review
“Brothers” Plot Summary
A young man comforts his older brother’s wife and children after he goes missing in Afghanistan. add synopsis
Very moving drama on family bonds and war, very well acted and deeply felt
American cinematography seems to be in strong need of movies exorcising the horror of war (I think of ‘In the valley of Elah’), through the depiction of family stories, showing how war may affect deeply and often destroy the lives of soldiers and their families
There’s still much American pride in that flag waving from the first scene, and much sense of honour in laying down one’s life for the sake of the country. However, the damage brought about by war on the emotional and psychological life of this family, puts everything into question, and in the end, controversial thoughts and feelings are aroused, mainly when we perceive that the edge between good and evil is so narrow and difficult to establish. The cast is outstanding, and their contained, never excessive interpretations prevents the movie from verging on the too melodramatic. Natalie Portman handles her difficult character very carefully and convincingly, Toby Macguire, does a great work, mainly considering his background of lighter roles, Jake Gyllenhaal is good, but less convincing, being his development too quick. Also the always impeccable Tom Shepard could have given more if his character would have been given more space. The little girl playing Isabelle is surprisingly noteworthy. It is a very tear-jerking movie, although every emotion is filtered in a delicate way. In the end I get comforted by the idea that family bonds, no matter how fragile and difficult, are the only certain, real thing from which to start in order to try to find a sense, where a sense seems to be lost forever. A really worth seeing-movie.

“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” Movie Review
“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” Plot Summary
An oddball journalist and his psychopathic lawyer travel to Las Vegas for a series of psychadelic escapades.
One of the best movies ever made
I always love when I turn a person onto this movie. Too many people think this movie is just about drugs and the logic of a half crazy narcissist. It has a deep underlying tone that taps into the core of American culture. The evolution of a culture has to be violent, crass & revolutionary. This movie is that. This story takes place at the end of the civil rights movement where a blind and far too conservative America changes into something else. The narration where HS Thompson is talking about that ‘wave’ sums it up. What was going on in America when this story happened? The end of Vietnam, The Civil Rights Movement, Watergate, etc. Those who went along for the ride at that time wanted to change America. Maybe it didn’t turn out the way they really wanted but what do we have now that we didn’t have before? It’s not only socially acceptable to question authority, to not do so is Un-American. Thompson was the fulcrum in this. Before him journalism was too conservative. Thompson blew this away. He was everything that needed to push America into a new era. The best thing is that he makes no apologies for anything he did. He had to open that inner-eye. That is what this movie captures and it makes no apologies. Terry Gilliam, Johnny Depp were ‘Gonzo’ enough to make this movie and they did this in the most excellent form. Johnny Depp portrayal of Thompson conveyed the message of this story perfectly. The best part about the story was the fact that it never set out to be one, it just happened. Thompson was the underlying kick in the ass that America needed to look inward and see itself for what it really was. A movie that can be a literal time capsule of the reality of a specific culture is a beautiful thing. It is even better when it isn’t America trying to speak for another culture. This movie is the reality of America as dissected by an American. It looks at itself for what it is, like a naked person in a mirror. This movie will always be a favorite for me. Whenever I can expose someone else to this it’s more precious than a bought education. Watch the movie without a joint and go beyond the chaos. Watch this movie for what it is. If you have never read the book, get off your butt and do now! Gonzo forever!
