“Kung Fu Panda” Movie Review
“Kung Fu Panda” Plot Summary
In the Valley of Peace, Po the Panda finds himself chosen as the Dragon Warrior despite the fact that he is obese and a complete novice at martial arts.
Exceptionaly visual, funny, action packed and intelligent movie for all ages.
One of the best comedy movies I’ve seen, this animation feature is both packed with action and intelligent at the same time. It’s yet another variation on ‘You can do anything if you believe in yourself’ and carries strong morale and educational message. But the way it’s done, the incredible visual side of the story, as well as the dialogs, is just exceptional. You can’t but love the fat Panda boy who’s dreaming about being the greatest warrior of all China only to wake up to the reality of hawing to serve noodle soup in his father’s shop. Unlike his father, who also dreamed but never found the courage to act on it, Panda follows his calling and by ‘luck’ get chosen to be the legendary Dragon warrior by the Kung-Fu grand master, the old turtle, to defeat the evil tiger. That’s when his training and troubles start. It’s really for anyone between 3 and 100 and I laughed and loved it from the titles in the beginning to the very end. Much recommended.

Classic
First R-Rated movie that I ever saw, I still remember the night at my grandparents with their free weekend of HBO, me sitting in the dark with the volume turned so low I am not sure if I could even hear it. I was 12 at the time and I still remember changing the channel at 1 o’clock in the morning thinking I just heard my grandfather get up. A truly funny movie.

The Dark Knight —- Best Batman Movie Ever.
I have just come out of the ‘Dark Curtain’ Screening for The Dark Knight in Adelaide, and I’m blown away.
Nolan’s directing is sublime, the pacing of the movie was so well kept, managing to keep the audience enthralled in an almost 3 hour movie. There were several shots in the film that had me saying ‘Now how in the hell did they do that?!’, Brilliant scores by James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer. Every actor shines, no one person steals the film. I don’t want to say much about it, because whatever is said cannot do it justice, there is enough hype surrounding it’s release, but it’s there for a reason. Top Notch film. Bravo to Nolan and his crew for giving a movie that Batman truly deserves.
9/10.

“Jurassic Park” Movie Review
“JP” Plot Summary
During a preview tour, a theme park suffers a major power breakdown that allows its cloned dinosaur exhibits to run amok.
I LOVE this movie!
This film is easily one of my favorite movies. I saw this movie when it came out in theaters back in 1993; I was only 9-years-old and, though some scenes scared the crap out of me, it blew me away. I was amazed at how, for the first time in a movie, I felt like I was watching REAL dinosaurs. For those who haven’t seen this movie (there are people like that?), it centers on a billionaire’s attempt to create a new amusement park on an isolated island creating bio-engineered dinosaurs; when a group of specialists are brought in to examine the park, things go terribly wrong
I absolutely loved the story of this film; I loved it so much I had my parents buy me Michael Crichton’s novel and I read it 3 times through the course of my fifth grade year. It was then that I fell in love with the work of Crichton and found myself reading the rest of his work. While, yes, the movie did divert pretty heavily from the book, I still felt it was a great adaptation. It’s Spielberg’s version of Crichton’s story, so I don’t mind the mass differences. The movie is much more family-friendly than Crichton’s novel and I would love to see a another version eventually, a darker version that sticks closer to Crichton’s novel. Unlike most instances when I can say ‘The book was better’ or ‘The movie was better’, I don’t feel the need in this case because they were both fantastic
The cast did a terrific job. Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Richard Attenborough…all were great in their roles. Though my favorite performance came from Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm, the arrogant chaos theoretician. I’ve been a fan of Goldblum for a while and I thought he was the perfect choice for the role in this movie. Of course, I have to rave a bit about the film’s special effects. As I mentioned before, this film contains probably the most realistic dinosaurs seen in cinema. A seamless combination of practical animatronics and CGI were used to bring the dinosaurs to life. By now, the effects seem a little dated but they continue to stand strong even now, 15 years later
This movie is one of those films that every must see. It grossed $350 million in the US alone. The film marked yet another milestone in special effects in cinema. And most importantly, it’s just entertaining.

“Toy Story 2″ Plot Summary
When Woody is stolen by a toy collector, Buzz and his friends vow to rescue him, but Woody finds the idea of immortality in a museum tempting. add synopsis
Cute Toys Are Back With A Bang For More Adventure
It’s been about a decade since I last saw ‘Toy Story’. Thus, it would be unfair to compare that with ‘Toy Story 2′. Pixar has produced numerous gems since the first ‘Toy Story’. This one is a sheer delightful adventure and it’s not one that is only limited to entertaining children. There are the charming characters from the old one and some wonderful new characters that include the energetic Jessie the Yodelling Cowgirl, the hot barbies and Woody’s faithful and hyper steed. The animation is superb and looks refreshing. The story too takes a new turn that presents the dilemma of whether one should live an eternal life of wealth and security or an unpredictable life that at least promises a few years of love. The actors do a fine job lending their voice. Hanks and Allen are back as Woody and Buzz and Joan Cusack is a treat as the vivacious Jessie. But I must add that I loved Buzz’s gang that includes the hilarious Rex and the lovable Slinky, the resourceful Mr. Potatohead and the cute Hamm, and their attempts to rescue Woody and bring him back home. There’s a beautiful song by Sarah Mclachlan that dictates Jessie’s pain. The sequel being a huge hit just proves how timeless the characters are and I want to see ‘Toy Story’ again just to follow the whole story. It’s already been a decade since, but I wonder whether they’ll make a sequel and what the fate of our toy friends will be once Andy has grown up. ‘Toy Story 2′ is an unforgettable adventure with a beautiful soul.

“Batman Returns” Movie Review
“Batman Returns” Plot Summary
When a corrupt businessman and the grotesque Penguin plot to take control of Gotham City, only Batman can stop them, while the Catwoman has her own agenda.
Good Batman Film Without Question
Batman Returns is to be considered quality when one speaks of superhero films. Its predecessor, Batman, in my opinion, is by far the greatest and most well thought out of the comic book genre. For one to say that Batman Returns was disappointing, he or she has not fully watched the movie and considered the acting of Danny Devito as the Penguin. Devito and Walken offer some memorable moments. The tale of Batman is suppose to be dark and Tim Burton has fulfilled how the comic portrays Batman. Batman Returns provides comic relief, action, suspense and fantasy; and it should not be viewed as ‘crap’, although we are all entitled to our own opinions.

“Basic Instinct” Movie Review
“Basic Instinct” Plot Summary
A police detective is in charge of the investigation of a brutal murder, in which a beautiful and seductive woman could be involved.
Excellent, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat mystery/crime/thriller
In my opinion, BASIC INSTINCT is an excellent, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat mystery/crime/thriller. Catherine (Sharon Stone) and Dr. Garner (Jeanne Tripplehorn) were both very beautiful women. The two characters I really couldn’t stand were Roxy (Leilani Sarelle) and Dr. Garner. This was because they were so snobby! Nick (Michael Douglas) was a very attractive, good-looking, strict, and business-like guy in my opinion. I loved his style. The most gruesome and scary part in my opinion was when Johnny Boz (Bill Cable) got murdered. That was almost too gruesome and scary for me to bear, but I managed to sit through it. My favorite part, though, was when Nick yells at Dr. Garner. That was very entertaining. In conclusion, I highly recommend this excellent, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat mystery/crime/thriller to all you Michael Douglas or Sharon Stone fans who have not seen it.

Good movie!
This movie deserves so much more then 5.2 ! This movie is a classic for those who likes funny and animated movies. I saw this film when i was maybe about 8-10 years old, and i thought it was so freaking good, i could see it 2-3 times EACH day! I haven’t seen this film for the last couple of years now..(15 now) I intend to see it again tonight, i don’t think that i would change my point of view on this movie. I think its really good. Well thats about all i have to say. But you know the IMDb people, they insist that you write 10 lines :-) so i guess i just have to figure something out with the last lines here. My final words: you should probably see this movie..thats all. Cya

“Batman Forever” Plot Summary
Batman must battle Two-Face and The Riddler with help of an amourous psychologist and a young circus acrobat who becomes his sidekick, Robin.
Great film lots of good acting
i thought this was a great film. The Ridler (Jim Carry) was very good at his part i thought Dick Gracen/Robin (chris O’Donnell) Played his part with great enthusiasm it was an enjoyable action comedy film that deserves high ratings. The riddles were very well done. When i watched this film for the 1st time i wanted to watch it again straight afterwards. The bat mobile, Bat wing and bat boat were very cool. This is a film anyone can enjoy it makes you laugh and the villains were the best part, Ridler and two face (Jim carry and tommy lee Jones) and Dr. chase Maridian played her part with spirit as well. But Batman did hi part very very well playing the billionaire Bruce Wayne and the Darknight wanting to live harmoniously it was very interesting. i would recommend this film to lots of people of all ages

“Punisher: War Zone” Movie Review
“Punisher 2″ Plot Summary
After hunting down and killing hundreds of violent criminals, Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, faces his most deadly foe yet: Jigsaw.
A Punisher movie as it should be
While cleaning the city from corrupts, the Punisher commits a mistake which creates the Jigsaw and leaves a policeman dead. The character development and story is just great. Some people may complain that there is too much blood and violence but this is Punisher and this is the way it is. I think fan boys will like this movie but this is definitely not for people searching chick flick action. This is a movie without a single drop of romance. It is just action, killing and blood. I liked it much since it is not trying to give messages or trying to put silly jokes to cover up a stupid plot. It is a very serious movie, focused and giving to the audience what it promises. Yes, he is killing tens of men just himself but just remember, this The Punisher and this is a Punisher movie as it should be.
