‘Terminator Salvation’ 2009 – Review
‘Terminator Salvation’ is the movie starring Christian Bale and Sam Worthington. Impressive visual effects, powerful mythology, strong script and harmonious cast – these are components of the fourth part of the saga about the deadly war between machines and humans.
Terminator
Fears of fans which were waiting for the movie release with a sinking heart – if McG will ‘craft’ something similar to Mostow’s ‘chef-d’oeuvre’ – those fears appeared to be groundless. ‘Terminator: Salvation’ managed to wash off the stain which was mercilessly imposed on the Terminator franchise by mess titled ‘Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines’. Now you can easily erase Kristanna Loken’s Terminatrix and amoebous John Connor performed miserably by Nick Stahl from your memory. Feel free to consider ‘Terminator’ a trilogy with ‘terminator Salvation’ being the third part.
The opening musical score of the ‘Terminator’ – like a hammer knocking on the anvil, which promises arduous trials to the humankind – is responsible for creating a legend out of the low-budget action movie to the same extent as Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has played the ruthless machine in the preceding three Terminators.
This familiar tune is perhaps the only component maintained by the franchise up to the fourth series of the ‘human-vs-machines’ opposition story. With this mechanical heartbeat, which penetrates into every corner of the audience’s hearts, six years after the ‘Rise Of The machines’ enters the fourth installation by director McG.

McG is a cunning fellow, so he chose the right way to reanimate the movie legend – he has invited Christian Bale to star in ‘Salvation’. McG as a director has got enough competence and skills to do high-tech cinema attraction ( ‘Charlie’s Angels’), but he still lacks the charisma of James Cameron to end up with ‘ the magic’ of cinema. The legend of ‘Terminator’ requires much more than just a skilled professional, and that fact has been proven by the Jonathan Mostow’s ‘Terminator 3′.

“Frost/Nixon” Movie Review
“Frost/Nixon” Plot Summary
A dramatic retelling of the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon.
Absolutely Brilliant
As a teenager in Australia when Nixon resigned, I didn’t really understand the impact of his actions at the time. It’s only later that I’ve come to believe in his betrayal not just of American politics but of all democracies that have the same fundamental beliefs
So I went to see this film with some anticipation and was not disappointed. If Ron Howard was not considered a great director before, then surely he must be after this. The greatest problem with filming stage plays is overcoming the sense of ’staticness’. But Howard’s superb use of different camera techniques which allow both a sense of movement but do not distract from the stunning acting performances
Whilst Frank Langella is quite rightly getting a lot of attention for his remarkable performance (he manages to humanise Nixon, a feat I would have thought impossible), do not dismiss Michael Sheen’s mesmerising effort as David Frost. Both men inhabit their characters, not just play them
The support cast is excellent; Kevin Bacon reminds me of Eastwood at times and they are the best roles Oliver Platt and Sam Rockwell have had in a while
A masterpiece.

“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.

“Final Destination 2″ Plot Summary
When Kimberly has a violent premonition of a highway pileup she blocks the freeway, keeping a few others meant to die, safe…Or are they? The survivors mysteriously start dying and it’s up to Kimberly to stop it before she’s next.
Fairly good sequel…
This time, Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) has a dream of a horrible of a deadly car crash killing many, many people. So when she wakes up her and a few others get out of their car and witness the horror themselves. Now, of course, they start to die in the order of how they would have, or are they? The opener is not as fantastic as in the first one, but the rest of the movie is better, in my opinion. Just like the first, there’s a lot of sagging moments. Also, just like the original, the first murder is just okay. But the next 3 or 4 murders make up for it. In the end, it’s all confusing and plot twists and crap with an interesting ender.

“Kramer vs. Kramer” Movie Review
“Kramer Versus Kramer” Plot Summary
A just divorced man must learn to care for his son on his own, and then must fight in court to keep custody of him. add synopsis
A fine movie
No, this has nothing to do with the sitcom ‘Seinfeld’ or its eccentric and hilarious character Cosmo Kramer. In reality, ‘Kramer vs. Kramer’ is a fine drama movie, without a doubt one of the finest of its kind and one of the greatest movies ever. I’m glad that it won more Oscars than ‘Apocalypse Now’ because it really deserved such glory.’Kramer vs. Kramer’ is an excellent film, so well made and so perfectly balanced that I wouldn’t change anything about it in any way. There is nothing wrong with the film. It’s film-making of the highest quality. And it stands the test of time, too. Not only it doesn’t look any dated, but also its cultural impact is long-lasting and its realistic story remains just as significant as it was when it came out in 1979. A timeless classic. They don’t make movies like this today
This movie is dramatic, realistic, simple but brilliant, intense, powerful, sweet and even tragic and depressing sometimes. Yet, it has fine humor as well. It has no special effects, but who cares? This is not the movie or place to discuss such thing. For a movie like this, such thing would be pointless and absolutely unnecessary
The story is very interesting. The actors’s chemistry is just perfect. All of the actors are great, but the 3 main ones are the very best. Dustin Hoffman, a brilliant actor, has his greatest performance ever here as the lovable but distant workaholic Ted Kramer. Meryl Streep is great as Ted’s wife, Joanna. And cute little Justin Henry is terrific as the loving but sometimes stubborn Billy, son of Ted and Joanna
The soundtrack is all instrumental and wonderful. The opening song (by the guitarist Frederic Hand) is brilliant. The rest of the soundtrack is mostly Antonio Vivaldi’s classical music and is simply dazzling
This motion picture has also an incredible development of the characters. See the character Ted Kramer: a workaholic who becomes an amazing father after being left with no choice but to take care of his son, trying to adjust these new responsibilities with his job after being left by his wife Joanna. With this, Ted learns about the most beautiful things in life, but also realizes how though life is, with the problems in his job and the return of Joanna, who wants the custody of their son. But even Joanna changes for better and the ending is an unexpected surprise when one sees this for the first time
This movie has also some though things, such as courtroom scenes where both Ted and Joanna face brutal character assassinations unleashed by the lawyers. Another though thing to see is when poor Billy falls off a jungle gym with his toy (a plane) and gets seriously injured on his face. But then again, the scene is very well made and what comes next is very intense: his father runs quickly and crosses numerous blocks, ignoring the traffic to take his son to the hospital
Overall, this is a movie which is a good lesson of life
This should definitely be on Top 250.

“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…

“The Young Victoria” Movie Review
“The Young Victoria” Plot Summary
A dramatization of the turbulent first years of Queen Victoria’s rule, and her enduring romance with Prince Albert. add synopsis
Amazing
I saw this on the big screen and was encapsulated with it. The period of Queen Victoria’s younger years are a mystery and this is a perfect description of how a young girl was thrusted into one of the highest roles in the world
The script is perfect, the acting is amazing, the history and attention to detail is out of this world. Emily Blunt is perfect as Victoria. Funny how her mother is played by Elizabeth the 1st and William IV is played by Prince Albert! (Think Blackadder).
This portrayal of Victoria shows that she was a rebellious young woman once – I’m sure she would have been on Jeremey Kyle Show if it had been around then: ‘My mother and her boyfriend are trying to steal my life’.A Perfect piece of a major part of British and Commonwealth history.

“Seven Pounds” Movie Review
“Seven Pounds” Plot Summary
An IRS agent with a fateful secret embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers.
This Mysterious Movie Will Stay With You
You spend most of this two-hour film wondering ‘what’s the story regarding the lead character?’ Will Smith, as a low-key ‘Ben Thomas’ will keep you guessing. The last 20-25 minutes is when you find out, and it’s a shocker….but you knew something dramatic was going to be revealed. Until then, Smith, plays it mysterious, almost stalking people. You know he has a good reason for doing it, but it’s never really explained, once again, to keep us guessing until the end
All of it, including a on again/off again but touching romance with Rosario Dawkins (‘Emily Posa’) might make some viewers frustrated or wanting to quit this film…..but don’t because the final long segment puts all the pieces of this puzzle together
This is a two-hour film and not the typical action-packed macho Will Smith film. In fact, the most shocking aspect might be seeing the drawn, sad face of Smith throughout this story. It almost doesn’t even look like him in a number of shots. He looks like he’s lost weight and is sick. Smith does a great job portraying a man carrying around a lot of sadness
Like a good movie will often do, this film will leave you thinking long after the ending credits.

“Beverly Hills Cop 2″ Plot Summary
Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills to help Taggart and Rosewood investigate Chief Bogamil’s near-fatal shooting and the series of “alphabet crimes” associated with it. add synopsis
Excellent Sequel, That’s Very Entertaining
This is an excellent sequel that’s very entertaining. It’s loaded with great humor, lots of laughs, exciting action, and it had 3 excellent main leads but it can’t quite match the original. The 2 main villains are very menacing, even though we hardly see Jurgen Prochnow, he was still very menacing when on screen. It’s somewhat of a rehash of the 1st, but that’s okay Murphy is still funny as hell, and The finale is excellent. One of the funniest parts in the film is, Reinhold’s sudden obsession with huge guns, and it had some pretty powerful moments, especially when Capt Bogomil gets shot. The Direction is very good. Tony Scott does a very good job here, keeping the film at an exciting pace, injecting lots of great humor, good camera angles, and doing a great job overall!. There is some blood. but lots of very bloody gunshot wounds is all we get. The Acting is awesome!. Eddie Murphy is wonderful here, once again he is HILARIOUS, very likable, had great chemistry with, Ashton and Reinhold, and was lots of fun to watch!. Judge Reinhold, is also wonderful here, he is also HILARIOUS, seemed to be having a lot of fun, plus he he had a lot more to do this time around, and was very likable. John Ashton is excellent here once again, he is also quite funny at times, and very likable, and also had more to do. Jurgen Prochnow does good as one of the main villains, but didn’t really have that much screen time. Ronny Cox is fine here again, but also didn’t have that much screen time. Brigitte Nielsen is good looking, and did excellent here as one of the main villains, and man was she big!, she was also very menacing. Allen Garfield is very good here, but he was EXTREMELY unlikable,, and yelled to much and i just wanted to slap him!, he did his job well though. Dean Stockwell, has a small role here, and did fine with it
Paul Reiser is good here, once again. Gilbert R. Hill is great again as the tough inspector. Robert Ridgely is decent as the mayor. and Alice Adair is okay as Bogomil’s daughter. And look out for a cameo by a very young Chris Rock!. Overall a must see! **** out of 5

“Ice Age: The Meltdown” Movie Review
“Ice Age 2″ Plot Summary
Diego, Manny and Sid return in this sequel to the hit Ice Age. This time around the Ice Age is over and is starting to melt, which will destroy their valley. So they must unite and warn everyone about the situation. add synopsis
Wow! A sequel that’s better than the original!!
My family and I absolutely LOVED this movie!! We thought it achieved the rare accomplishment of being better than its original. As my husband says, ‘They stole from everyone.’ Without spoiling the movie, let me just say there were bits from Broadway musicals, from other movies (some new, some classics), and from everything in between. The vultures’ musical number is the one that has gotten stuck in my head. That’s as far as I’ll go with that one
Ice Age 2 really racked up the talent. Numerous times we would lean over and whisper ‘I know that voice! Who IS that?’ I was truly surprised to find out that one of them was Jay Leno
Although the underlying message of both Ice Age movies is death, doom, and destruction, I thought overall it was a very light-hearted movie with lots of hope, love, and friendship. The photo-quality animation of the rushing water, Scrat’s fur blowing in the breeze, and many other tiny details was no less than breathtakingly impressive
While it may be just a bit much for the smallest of children, I whole-heartedly recommend this movie to everyone else, young and old alike. You don’t have to have kids or be a kid to love this one, just enjoy laughing.
