    “Con Air” Movie Review

    “Con Air” Plot Summary

    A newly released ex-con and former US Ranger finds himself trapped in a prisoner transport plane when the passengers seize control.

    Amazing action flick

    This film goes beyond the usual boundaries of an action film. The ensemble cast is brilliant. Nicholas Cage and John Cusack play the ex army ranger turned paroled prisoner and FIB agent respectively who have to find a way of working together when psycho Cyrus ‘The Virus’ Grissom takes over a plane of prisoners who are being transferred to a maximum security unit. Cyrus is played brilliantly by the menacing John Malkovich, and he makes the character appear truly evil, down to his cold eyes. This is the sort of role he excels at

    There is also an appearance by Steve Buscemi as the Marietta Mangler, a serial killer who first appears in the film strapped to a chair with a mask, a la Hannibal Lecter

    Nicholas Cage is also good as a very honourable guy who just wants to get home to his wife and child, but not at the expense of his fellow prisoners

    This film is worth watching many times – its entertaining, sometimes funny and altogether brilliant!

    “Dawn of the Dead” Movie Review

    “Dawn of the Dead” Plot Summary

    A nurse, a policeman, a young married couple, a salesman, and other survivors of a worldwide plague that is producing aggressive, flesh-eating zombies, take refuge in a mega Midwestern shopping mall.

    One of the best Zombie movies I’ve seen…

    …and I’ve seen quite a few. This movie is a must for all those enjoy seeing horror-zombie movies with a twist, but not containing excessive amounts of blood and gore, like BrainDead had. Unlike others, I don’t think this movie should compare to Resident Evil because zombies here don’t act like those ones, oh no, not at all. You surely will need to see the movie to understand, but I was simply delighted. Most important, this movie contains no pseudo-scientific bullsh!t regarding how do the zombies appear, skips through unnecessary preparation, the soundtrack is absolutely beautiful and the end, oh, the end is… what can I say? Great-great-great! Overall, I very much enjoyed seeing this and I guess it’s a movie you can see more than once. I, personally, have seen it 4 times in 2 days and I always found something new to look at.

    “Pulp Fiction” Movie Review

    “Pulp Fiction” Plot Summary

    The lives of two mob hit men, a boxer, a gangster’s wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.

    amazing

    this is a film that gets better and better each time you see it, the dialogue is just superb, its funny, clever and realistic, the film is set around different groups of people and each character puts in a performance, nobody lets the film down. Even if their role is only small, they still do the job.

    the cinematography is inspiring, as a student it really makes me want to go out with a camera and film, the shots are clever and effective, just a beauty to watch.

    the soundtrack is one of the best iv heard in a film, every song fits.

    I’m not going to spoil the film or go in to much detail but it is a film you have to see, once, twice, or a hundred times…

    “Mission: Impossible” Movie Review

    “Mission Impossible” Plot Summary

    An American agent, under false suspicion of disloyalty, must discover and expose the real spy without the help of his organization.

    The best of the three

    An engaging piece of Cold War histrionics set in fine motion by DePalma and his stellar entourage of fine actors. To me, it stands far ahead of the two sequels, primarily because it is more subtle and cerebral and less visceral than the others. The cast itself is not laden with merely young hot-shot actors inserted into screenplays for box office appeal. Rather, it is almost too politically correct in its casting as all the demographics seem to be represented here: young, old, Black, White, male, female, American, European etc. Yet each of the principals and the supporting cast fits into his/her respective role quite well, with little wasted motion. It’s as if they each have their own ‘raison d’etre’ as it pertains to the overall story line

    The sophisticated spy-vs.-spy plot line is not only enhanced by the thespian talent, but also the inventive camera work that allows us to revisit ‘flashbacks’ of prior scenes that are taken from perspectives other than the original. To wit, the Jon Voight bridge scene gets a few once-overs, if you will. Also, the European locales are well shot with no gratuitous indulgence, which helps to embellish the story line. Lest I forget, a sweet job by Danny Elfman adapting Lalo Schiffrin’s ‘MI’ theme to the soundtrack, especially during the ending credits where he shifts the theme’s normal 5/4 tempo to a funkier, bluesier 4/4 time signature!Tom Cruise takes a nice turnabout from some of his earlier more ‘cutesy’ roles. His role here demands of him technical expertise as well as strength of character in order for him to merely stay alive. J. Voight and V. Redgrave are in fine form in their complex and beguiling portrayals

    In summary, this episode of the ‘MI’ series characterizes what I consider to be a triumph of substance over form, of subtlety over the obvious. Maybe this attitude is a ‘no-no’ for modern audiences, but it remains one philosophy that I will always endorse.

    the best disney movie yet!

    Thank god that there is actuall someone down at disney who had the common sense to allow a new style of animated cartoon. Lilo and stitch is touching and beautifully created, and the water colour backdrops make it easy on the eye. It tells the story of Lilo and her older sister who adopt a small alien dog from the local kennels. Chris Sanders has made this film into a sentimental tale dealing with modern issues as well as creating comedy and a film great for kids and adults. It is so refreshing to see traditional surreal disney tales like beauty and the beast and the little mermaid, which are full of all singing all dancing hogwash, replaced by a beautiful piece od movie magic. Lilo and stitch is a charming and touching tale with perfectly casted voices and an ideal setting BRILLIANT!!!!! 10/10

    “The Tournament” Movie Review

    “The Tournament” Plot Summary

    Every seven years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 30 of the world’s deadliest assassins…

    Very Entertaining

    The Tournament is not a serious film, let me just get that out of the way. It comes off as serious, sometimes, but it’s always laughable. What this film is, is seriously entertaining. It’s surprisingly brutal, with some messy, blood dripping kills and far more human bodies exploding that you would believe. But the films is far from serious

    What we get is a story about the thirty greatest assassins hunting each other down in a tournament for money. That’s about it. There’s something in there about revenge, betrayal, blah blah blah. Who cares really, right? Honestly, if you’re looking for some kind of emotional story, you’ve come to the wrong place. The plot conveys the always fun killers in a killing tournament type story, which you can find sprinkles of Smoking Aces, Battle Royale, and The Comdemned in. What the film does do right, most of all, is not hold back. There is gore galore here, with decapitations, bullet wounds, people exploding, and lots of fingers flying off

    The films is seriously flawed, yes. Ving Rhames is laughable as he cries through most of the film. He’s made to be a total bad ass, but only delivers half the time. It’s especially hard to believe when you have a whole lot of bad asses running around who could easily take out Rhames. Most notable of these bad asses are Kelly Hu, in what could easily be called the lead role, who once again displays her talent for kicking ass. We also have Sebastien Foucan, a parkour wielding bad ass who has one of the best action scenes in the film, and Scott Adkins, whose brief appearance leaves a lasting impression as one of the best one on one battles in the film. Overall, this is just a film of a bunch of bad ass people kicking each others…well, you get the point

    I’m not going to say this is a good film. I will say it’s well directed and well filmed. Fights were actually enjoyable, as the director wisely chose to avoid the all too commonly used shaky cam and close ups. The script is paper thin, yes, and the acting leaves a great deal to be desired. But once again, this is a film about bad asses being bad asses. Kicking said ass and taking names. So forget about all the Oscar worthy stuff. Just sit back and enjoy some, well, ass getting kicked. Cause it’s a hell of a ride.

    “Bringing Out the Dead” Plot Summary

    Frank Pierce is a paramedic working Gotham’s Hell’s Kitchen. He’s become burned out and haunted by visions of the people he’s tried to save. add synopsis

    Good once it finds its rhythm

    After reading the novel by Joe Connelly this movie is based on(by the way, the title is a reference to MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL), it seemed a perfect fit for director Martin Scorsese, writer Paul Schraeder, and star Nicolas Cage. After all, this is the mean streets of New York, this is about trying to find salvation and redemption in the pits of despair, and it features a character on the edge. But when things start out, I was disappointed. It seems like all three of them, Scorsese, Schraeder, and Cage, were straining to get the effect of the novel, and it felt disjointed. The narration by Cage seems to be covering up for what’s not being shown, which always means trouble

    In lesser hands, this might have been a problem. However, Scorsese has the craft to match his passion, and he soon finds the rhythm. The narration is used less and less as the movie goes on, and Cage is gradually able to show his grief, rather than just talk about it. We still don’t feel the impact of the story as much as we do in the novel, but we do feel something, thanks to Cage and Patricia Arquette(as the daughter of a patient he saves). Once it gets going, the black humor, courtesy of Ving Rhames and Tom Sizemore as fellow paramedics and Scorsese and Queen Latifah as dispatchers, helps fuel the picture as well. This isn’t quite as good as Scorsese’s other New York stories, but it is a worthy addition to his canon.

    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.

    Ethan Hunt comes face to face with a dangerous and sadistic arms dealer while trying to keep his identity secret in order to protect his girlfriend.

    great action!!

    Overall I thought this movie was great. I went to it expecting it to be a good action flick. One with good fight scenes and explosions and got just that. The story line could have used a little work, but this blew the 2nd installment out of the water. This movie was definitely needed to revamp the Mission Impossible series. I was kind of hoping for a few more lines from Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but he still played an excellent villain

    As far as story line goes…I’d rate the trilogy this way. 1st movie, 3rd movie, and then dead last is the 2nd

    As far as action…I’d rate this 3rd installment as the best! If you are looking for an entertaining movie this will definitely grasp it. Enjoy!
