“Home of the Brave” Plot Summary
Three soldiers struggle to readjust to life at home after returning home from a lengthy tour in Iraq. add synopsis
Great War Movie Since Saving Private Ryan!
This movie was great and recommend you to see for yourself and don’t listen to the critics that are writing bad about this movie they don’t know what they are talking about. This movie starts out excellent good have ended a bit better but it was great. This movie shows you about the war in Iraq today and is shows it as great as I expected it starts out in the war over in Iraq and moves to the people who survived that were main characters in the movie and tells you how the life is over there its hell and it lets you know as much as it can about what is happening to our soldiers there and when they come home and how you will never be the same again. It shows how it conflicts with your life and all it can show well that basically sums it up I can’t say anymore it is GREAT and RECOMMEND you watch it…

“The Devil’s Advocate” Plot Summary
A hotshot lawyer gets more than he bargained for when he learns his new boss is Lucifer himself. add synopsis
one of the greatest movies to come along in the last ten years
I can hardly find words to express how grand this film is; superb acting and story, with lot of action, drama and emotion. Director certainly mounted a gorgeous movie, displaying great talent to deal with the theme of men making a terrible deal with devil (though involuntarily)in exchange for money, success and all that stuff. Extremely realistic, never slowing down with one twist after another. Serious, scary and witty all in one, it captures the essence of degrading social values and overrated success of nowadays society. In terms of acting, Al Pacino’s rendition of Satana is simply awesome, over the top, a role played to near perfection. Charlize Theron, wonderful, does a good job in playing the forever loving wife, breaking down as soon she starts discovering the truth; the only one a bit disappointing is Keanu Reeves, not that much realistic and believable.

“Fast & Furious” Movie Review
“The Fast and the Furious 4″ Plot Summary
Brian O’Conner, now working for the FBI in LA, teams up with Dominic Toretto to bring down a heroin importer by infiltrating his operation.
Hilarious
I don’t think this movie is meant to be a comedy, but nearly every scene and every line of dialogue is laughable. I can’t even describe half of the things that made this movie pathetic, since I don’t have the time or desire to write thirty pages. Here are some of the most egregiously bad aspects of Fast and Furious:The Plot: There is a mastermind drug lord who has managed to elude the FBI for years, and he wants to move a bunch of drugs across the border. So instead of just splitting the packages into a few inconspicuous cars and bribing a couple of border officials, or simply flying them across the border in a private helicopter (keep in mind this guy has hundreds of millions of dollars at his disposal), he decides the best way to cross the border undetected is to get a few neon-green and metallic-purple race cars and drive in a pack through the salt plains and then through a mine at 150 mph (yes, a mine, despite the fact that each car rides is designed for street racing and rides about two inches off the ground).
Then when the drivers get to the location, he tries to kill all of them for no reason. I guess the audience is meant to assume he does this so that he doesn’t have to pay them, but it’s like six drivers, and the packages are worth something around 160 million dollars, so paying the drivers for one night’s work would cost practically nothing. I guess the director felt it was necessary to really pound it into the viewer’s head that he is a bad guy, so that there wouldn’t be any confusion as to who you’re supposed to root for. Also, you find out that he’s done this before, yet he somehow managed to prevent word from spreading that not a single driver he’s ever hired has returned from the job (you’d think that in a relatively close-knit community such as the ‘illegal street racing circuit’ something like this would get around). This is not to mention the fact that Paul Walker is still able to blend into these crime circles despite the fact that dozens of people have found out he was a cop in the last two films. Dialogue: I’m just going to give two awesome examples here:1) Paul Walker: I guess this is where my jurisdiction ends Vin Diesel: And this is where mine begins.2) Girl: Are you one of those boys who prefers cars to women? Vin Diesel: I appreciate a good body regardless of the make. ……… Girl: What do you look for in a woman? Vin Diesel: It starts with the eyes. She has to have those kind of eyes that can see through all the bullshit, to the good inside
Fast and Furious perpetually insults the viewer’s intelligence. Nearly nothing that happens in the movie is even remotely plausible. It could be mistaken for a very wry parody of stupid racing movies, but sadly, it just is one.

“Phenomenon” Plot Summary
An ordinary man sees a bright light descend from the sky, and discovers he now has super-intelligence and telekinesis.
Must-See Film, Last part is best
I’d recommend it as a Must-See Film, of which I particularly liked the last part of the film, where you can actually feel the emotions inside it. Travolta does an excellent job and I wonder if anyone could do it better.

Comes at you Fast AND Furious
The Fast and the Furious comes at you like it says. It’s not a long movie and really never slows down much at all! Those looking for a movie delving into a complex plot with in depth charachters need not watch it. The movie is as the preview shows, a lot of great car chase scenes held together by a loose form of a plot. It does what Gone in 60 Seconds only wishes it could do. In gone in 60 you have 2 scenes with cars driving fast at all. Here you have at least 6 or 7 distinctly different and memorable scenes. Although acting ability and some of the lines lack severely, this can be forgiven and is made up by the cars. This movie is perfect for anyone into speed and tuned import sports cars for the most part(yes, even the occasional despicable economy car made to ‘perform’ is present)I saw the previews knowing this was going to be basically an adrenaline rush of a movie, and I gave it a 10 because that’s what it delivered.

“Broken Arrow” Movie Review
“Broken Arrow” Plot Summary
Terrorists steal nuclear warheads from the US military but don’t count on a pilot and park ranger spoiling their plans. add synopsis
One of my favourite overblown 90’s action flicks!
Broken Arrow starts as pilots Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater) & Major Vic Deakins (John Travolta) board a Stealth bomber equipped with two nuclear missiles, they fly the Stealth over the Utah desert in what was supposed to be a routine mission to monitor radiation levels but Deakins tries to kill Hale in an attempt to steal the nuclear weapons. Hale manages to eject from the Stealth before Deakins kills him, Deakins then drops the unarmed bombs & ejects himself leaving the plane to crash. Having witnessed the crash park ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis) goes to investigate & finds Hale, meanwhile Deakins has managed to trick the army into thinking the nuclear weapons have been breached & therefore rescue teams cannot be sent in. With easy access to the bombs he intends to bribe the Government into paying a ransom or he’ll use them to wipe out half of the country, that is unless Hale & the park ranger can stop him & his men…Directed by John Woo Broken Arrow was his second American action film after the fabulous Hard Target (1993), I personally rate Broken Arrow, & Hard Target for that matter, as one of my favourite over-the-top action flicks from the 90’s & for that I apologise to no-one. The script by Graham Yost is as action packed as they come, there’s loads of shoot-outs, fights, explosions, crashes, vehicular mayhem & near misses. Most people seem to think the basic story is pretty far fetched & I have to agree but it’s by no means sillier than a lot of 90’s action flicks like Speed (1994) for instance. What I like about it is that it moves along like a rocket & there isn’t enough time between all the fights & explosions for small things like plot holes to make any huge difference. I also liked the character’s here, the relationships between Hale & the sexy park ranger & between Hale & Deakins in particular, I just thought the character’s & the way they were written & developed were better than the average action flick with themes like friendship & betrayed. I liked it, a lot
Director Woo knows how to turn in a decent action flick & he doesn’t disappoint here, while the unmistakable style of his earlier Hong Kong films may have been slightly sterilised by Hollywood the set-pieces in his films still remain very impressive. Broken Arrow probably has more helicopters being blown up & crashing than any other single film I think I’ve ever seen. Some of the explosions are huge, the fights are varied & well staged & most of the action is done the good old fashioned way on set in camera with real stunt men & real explosions rather than awful CGI computer effects which have become commonplace. The only scene which really made me cringe was when Hale falls off the back of the truck & he then picks himself up, runs after it, catches it up & jumps on the back! I don’t think so, the truck itself had at least a 10 second head start before we even discuss how slow it would have to have been going for Hale to physically run after it & catch it up. The violence isn’t too excessive, there’s not much blood in it & the violence isn’t sadistic or gloating as in say a lot of Steven Seagal films
With a supposed budget of about $65,000,000 Broken Arrow is well made with that Hollywood polish about it, the special effects are good & there’s plenty of big bangs & explosions for the money. The acting is alright, I liked Travolta (who was apparently paid $7,000,000 for this) as the villain in particular but he does come across as a bit theatrical at times, I thought Mathis was fine as the love interest although I thought Slater was a bit bland & forgettable as the hero
Broken Arrow is a great action film, it has a good cast, great action scenes, loads of explosions, better than usual character’s & it moves along at a good pace. I thought it was great & it’s as simple & straight forward as that.
