“The Boondock Saints” Movie Review
“The Boondock Saints” Plot Summary
Fraternal twins set out to rid Boston of the evil men operating there while being tracked down by an FBI agent.
A wonderful movie,
…albeit a little too proud of itself. I waited a long time before actually watching this film, then an ex-girlfriend loaned it to me telling me I wouldn’t be disappointed. And I wasn’t. Boondock Saints looks and feels like a fan film, and it is well done. The actors, I felt, were carefully chosen, did a wonderful job, and composed themselves well. The only real annoyances were Willem Dafoe’s character being a know-it-all, and David Della Rocco who screams his head off throughout the whole movie. Its rare that a movie of this genre has a gratifying ending, and when the credits started rolling, I was a little sad that there wasn’t more. This movie kept me entertained thoroughly, and I was happy that I finally watched it. For those who haven’t seen it, sit back and enjoy the violent ride, for it’s a fun one.

“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.

“Finding Nemo” Plot Summary
A father-son underwater adventure featuring Nemo, a boy clownfish, stolen from his coral reef home. His timid father must then travel to Sydney and search Sydney Harbour to find Nemo. add synopsis
Another Pixar Great!
Finding Nemo is a very good animated film, probably it’s in the top 10 animated features of all time. The story is about a little clown fish named Nemo. He ventures out into the open sea while not listening to his father. He gets captured by a dentist and now his father, marlin has to save him from the clutches of the dentist and his ‘evil’ niece. The story of the film is unbelievable. I don’t know how a movie about a fish can be very popular. The voice acting is pretty good. The all-star cast did a great job voicing their characters. The music in this film is sweet. The music will lure you more into the movie. The song in the film is great for people who like music 40 years ago. Once again, Pixar did not fail in its ability to make classic animated films. Overall, this is a very good film. I rate this movie 10/10.

“The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” Movie Review
“The Life Aquatic” Plot Summary
With a plan to exact revenge on a mythical shark that killed his partner, oceanographer Steve Zissou rallies a crew that includes his estranged wife, a journalist, and a man who may or may not be his son. add synopsis
Absolutely Brilliant
The thing that some people forget is that Wes Anderson co-wrote the script. the Life Aquatic is quite possibly one of the most original movies i have ever seen, and, personally, i loved every aspect of it. The score was spectacular, mixing Bowies actual recordings with the Portugese covers of Sue Jorge was ingenious. In my opinion the story bares some resemblance to that of Moby Dick, in that the main character is the Capitan of a ship and is bent on finding a sea creature for, at first, revenge… but draw your own comparisons
All in all, the movie was stellar and grabbed my attention from beginning to end, although, it is definitely one of those films that you either like or dislike, and i obviously liked it. I recommend seeing it even if your friends say that its bad, i only rented it in the first place because it was all they had at Video Connection one lonely Friday night and i needed something to watch, and all of my friends, none of whom know what their talking about, trashed it never the less i found it beautiful, hilarious, and over-all an absolutely stunning work of art by Mr. Wes Anderson… also, if you saw it and liked it, you should check out the Royal Tenenbaums, also directed by Anderson, it is almost as good as the Life Aquatic.

“Once Upon a Time in Mexico” Movie Review
“Once Upon a Time in Mexico” Plot Summary
Hitman “El Mariachi” becomes involved in international espionage involving a psychotic CIA agent and a corrupt Mexican general.
Enjoyable
Once Upon a Time is overall a pretty enjoyable movie. Despite its bizarre randomness, action fans will love the fighting scenes and gun play. Not to mention the characters who were actually somewhat interesting and not stolen, which has got to be a first when it comes to the action genre. I can honestly say that I enjoyed all of the characters, even that stupid Taco Bell type dog that the American carried around and put a wiretap on. I really don’t have too many complaints about the movie, and thought it was interesting throughout
El was a crazy, crazy man. If cornered by a massive army, he would just whip out his guitar and fire off grenades and laser beams taking everyone out, saving his guitar until the end. He would then throw it at General Marquez, causing a 1 Megaton nuclear warhead to go off right behind him as he makes his escape into a hand-made shelter from his Mexican buddies.7.5 / 10

“Antichrist” Movie Review
“Antichrist” Plot Summary
A grieving couple retreats to their cabin in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.
Absolutely astonishing
Lars von Trier’s Antichrist is one of the most magnificent films I have ever seen. I was never a big fan of von Trier, and one of the reasons why were because he always tries to be too original and different, and usually his movies just end up boring and unexciting. In this film, he also tries to be different, but this time he does a perfect job. The prelude of the film, slow-motion black and white action, is one of the most beautiful scenes I have seen in a movie. It just looks great, the music is perfect, and it really sets the tone for the movie. The atmosphere in the film is very special, and even though not much is happening for the most part of the movie, it still managed to keep me excited for the whole time. There are some brutal and disgusting scenes that have made people walk out of the cinema, but for me, it just made the movie more effective and von Trier balanced the brutality perfectly with the movie’s atmosphere. Honestly, I love this movie – and I recommend that everyone, even those who call themselves ‘weak-hearted’ – see this movie. It leaves you with so many questions, and you think so much about it after wards. It’s just amazing!

“American Psycho” Movie Review
“American Psycho” Plot Summary
A wealthy New York investment banking executive hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies.
One of the greatest visions ever brought to us
Spoilers includedThis is not a slasher movie, indeed. It’s a very deep, strange and delicate moment in satire. While it’s serious, it’s ironic and ridiculous. Great stuff! Funniest and the most (yes I dare say it) brilliant satire I’ve ever seen. Christian Bale’s performance is unbelievable and if someone disagrees, they have to show me how to perform an emotional breakdown for 2 minutes on a phone. Just unbelievable. I’ve seen this 5 times now and it never gets boring. All the characters in Bateman’s world live in materialism, self-obsession, wealth and empty lives which is saved for last as the horrifying truth for Patrick. None cares for anyone. Many may think that when Bateman runs around with a chainsaw in the hallway, somebody would call the cops. But that’s theme of this film: None cares except if it has something do with themselves. Brilliant, simply brilliant. When Bateman sees this, he gives up hope, implying that he is not going to stop his frenzy until someone stops him (which happens in that embarrassing sequel which I’m never going to watch). Mary Harron’s masterpiece, Bale’s best performance (without an Oscar nod of course), at the same time one of the shortest, deepest, confusing, puzzling and mysterious satire films ever. One of the best. It’s a must see. My personal favourite. DON’T miss it if you can take some violence mixed in with irony and very black and bold humor
Solid 9/10

“Mr. Bean’s Vacation” Plot Summary
Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes where he unwittingly separates a young boy from his father and must help the two come back together. On the way he discovers France, bicycling, and true love, among other things. add synopsis
Very fresh and funny
Mr. Bean, or Rowan Atkisnon, may seem one dimensional man, but here he is impeccable. He plays with a real gusto and his gags are great
Any time he does a gig, that is really funny/ His trip to Cannes is a real gem of laughs – he separates the son of a Russian film maker, he forgets his passport, he loses his money and tickets, he only managed to keep his video camera and make his documentary. Who is really great here is Willem Defoe as a bombastic film maker who loves himself so much that he makes stupid, silly films that make people sleep. Watch it for fun, for real relaxation, for real great time. Mr. Bean is not a serious masterpiece of cinema, but he is fresh, upbeat and this longer film is a great insight into a rural France, as well as bigger Paris and glamor Cannes.

“Platoon” Movie Review
“Platoon” Plot Summary
A young recruit in Vietnam faces a moral crisis when confronted with the horrors of war and the duality of man.
Best War Movie Ever Made
PLATOON is the best war movie ever made. It’s dark, harrowing, complex, and thrilling. But because so much attention is paid to Oliver Stone’s real life status as a Vietnam vet, most people assume the story is totally original and totally based on one man’s first-hand experience. I, on the other hand, would like to suggest some of the literary and cultural roots of the classic film
Norman Mailer’s THE NAKED AND THE DEAD presented a vision of jungle combat in World War II that obviously inspired Oliver Stone in many ways. Both emphasize the fact that the soldiers are drawn from the lowest level of society. Both show the war as being run by selfish elites who take no part in the suffering and dying
Both are dominated by a cruel villain — Sgt. Barnes in PLATOON is in many ways a perfect replica of Sgt. Croft. Both are Army lifers, both enjoy torturing and killing helpless victims, both talk in terms of authority and control being more important than justice or even logic. Both are perfectly willing to use cold-blooded murder as a way to hold on to authority among their own troops. Both are presented as being Southerners/Westerners, linked to the genocide of the Indians and the lawless violence of the frontier. The name ‘Barnes’ is a play on ‘Croft’ since both link to the farming past and to the rural America big city boys like Mailer and Stone both (fairly or unfairly) detest
But Oliver Stone goes beyond Mailer in many ways. While in Mailer’s book the attempts by Lieutenant Hearn and Red Valsen to stand up to Croft are almost pathetically ineffective, PLATOON presents both Elias and later, even Chris Taylor as fully capable of defying Barnes and demanding justice. This is what gives the movie a far greater power and resonance than Mailer’s book
Moreover, Stone is not afraid of mysticism and symbolism, and he is not shackled by the socialist-realist documentary aesthetics of Mailer’s novel. Thus while Red Valsen ‘must’ be a working man and a left-wing stick figure, Elias’ ethnic and economic background is left a mystery. In the same way, Barnes, while clearly linked to the mean rednecks of the platoon and the violence of the Old West, is also linked to more compelling and even sympathetic tragic heroes, such as Captain Ahab and even — dare one say it — Count Dracula
Tom Berenger is a much better actor than Bela Lugosi, to be sure. But notice the similarities. Just as Dracula is always seen with the whining, submissive Renfield in tow, so Barnes is always being compared to his wheedling, repulsive sidekick O’Neill. Just as Dracula cannot die, so Barnes also seems to be immortal. (One of the good men even says, ‘Barnes ain’t meant to die.’) Barnes all but quotes Dracula in the chilling scene in the bunker when he dares (or begs) the good men of the platoon to kill him. His seemingly offhand remark — ‘death? What do you all know about death?’ — suggests that Barnes cannot die because he is already dead. This is eerily reminiscent of Dracula’s statement that ‘to die — to be really dead — that must be glorious.’ The point here is that PLATOON is indeed a brutal, realistic look at Vietnam, but it is also a classic movie which draws upon a whole host of literary and film classics for its mythic resonance and power
What a magnificent and yet tragic achievement for Oliver Stone!

“Fantastic Mr. Fox” Movie Review
“Fantastic Mr. Fox” Plot Summary
Angry farmers, tired of sharing their chickens with a sly fox, look to get rid of their opponent and his family.
I Liked It, But This Isn’t For Kids
‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ is the story of the titular Mr. Fox, his family, his stealing shenanigans and his rivalry with the three notorious farmers from whom he stole. This film is an adult version of a children’s story by Roald Dahl, as interpreted by American director/writer Wes Anderson. It was interpreted in rather old-fashioned-looking, almost monochromatic (orange-yellow-brown) stop-motion animation. The attention of my sons were not held by the slow beginning and by all the talking. My daughter was not even interested to watch it at all
I, on the other hand, quite enjoyed it. The dialogue is funny and witty, and very adult. There is even a hilarious attempt to hide all profanity with the word ‘cuss’. I do not really like stop-animation movies (like ‘Gumby’ or ‘Wallace and Grommit’), but their pain-stakingly detailed efforts are appreciated
George Clooney definitely inhabits the character of Mr. Fox. He appropriately channeled Danny Ocean, especially in light of the heists that Mr. Fox was pulling, complete with smug attitude. Meryl Streep portrays Mrs. Felicity Fox. I felt there was nothing really special about it. Any actress could have done it just as well. Apparently the supporting cast is composed of actors who are staples of Wes Anderson films like Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, etc. I particularly liked how Murray voiced Attorney Badger
I read an excerpt of ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ from the Roald Dahl book that we had. It turns out while the main characters and the stealing capers are similar, the rest of the movie (like the cousin rivalry, among others) is entirely Wes Anderson. I had never seen a Wes Anderson movie before, although I had long heard of his work like ‘Rushmore’ or ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’. But after watching ‘Mr. Fox,’ I think I will check them out.
