    “Swordfish” Movie Review

    “Swordfish” Plot Summary

    A secretive renegade counter-terrorist co-opts the world’s greatest hacker (who is trying to stay clean) to steal billions in US Government dirty money.

    Great movie! Travolta is back!

    When I first saw the previews for this movie, I thought, ‘Yeah, that looks cool, but… I really didn’t like Gone in 60 Seconds.’ I didn’t have the chance to see it in the theater, but I did buy the dvd. All I can say is, it was a good thing that I did! Unlike Gone in 60 Seconds,this movie is much more plot oriented. You need to pay attention to this movie to fully understand the plot. I really don’t see how people can say that this plot is confusing. It makes sense as long as you watch and pay attention, just like all movies. Also, the action scenes are just incredible to watch, especially with the dvd that uses 5.1 sound. The ending and the villains motives will shock you! The movie will also cause you to contemplate many things once the movie has ended. By the way, Halle Berry looks amazing in the movie!All in all this movie is just the epitome of cool, and it was definately one of the better action movies of 2001. Finally Travolta is back at what he does best. As a side note, this is a hell of a lot better then BATTLEFIELD EARTH,which by the way was not as bad as everyone said it was. I really think that you should see this, I don’t think that you will be dissapointed.9/10 Great.

    “Rescue Dawn” Movie Review

    “Rescue Dawn” Plot Summary

    A US Fighter pilot’s epic struggle of survival after being shot down on a mission over Laos during the Vietnam War.

    Best movie of the year

    It really was the best movie I’ve seen all year- narrowly beating The Departed (VERY narrow indeed).

    I saw this at the second showing, so I wasn’t there for Bale or Davies or Herzog, but the movie was obviously worth it. I am very eagerly anticipating its theatrical release. Oscar buzz is good for this so far, but I’m afraid with the release date set for early 2007 that might not happen

    Herzog expertly adapted his documentary into a full-fledged narrative that is both thrilling and heartbreaking (Steve Zahn… How awesome). This is worth every penny you pay for the ticket

    See it ASAP.

    “Donnie Brasco” Movie Review

    “Donnie Brasco” Plot Summary

    An FBI undercover agent infilitrates the mob and finds himself identifying more with the mafia life to the expense of his regular one. add synopsis

    A genius, genius movie! One of the best in gangster genre

    Johnny Deep plays an FBI agent Joe Pistone by the name Donnie Brasco infiltrates a New York mafia. Lefty Ruggiero played by Al Pacino acts like a mentor and even more as a father to him as Donnie/Joe goes deeper and deeper in the mafia world which will cause his life to become total dump

    The performances are excellent at best. Johnny Deep plays a good and honest man turned into a rough wise guy by the underworld perfectly. This is IMO one of Al Pacino’s best performances. The chemistry between him and Deep is genius! Michael Madsen is possibly the most underrated actor ever! He was genius in this, if not Oscar worthy

    Now the best thing is the writing. There are sooo many things that don’t have anything to do with the story but make the movie much more interesting. The dialog is very natural. It doesn’t have the over the top amount of F words like Casino or cheesy one liners like Scarface

    All in all an excellent gangster movie that’s not just for fans of gangster movie but mainstream audience.

    “Fight Club” Movie Review

    “Fight Club” Plot Summary

    An office employee and a soap salesman build a global organization to help vent male aggression.

    Fight Club (1999)

    I feel it’s appropriate that this is the first film I am reviewing, as this is the film that changed me. This is the film that made me so passionate about it and drove me to want to study film at a tertiary institution and, you guessed it, write my own reviews. Obviously I was already really into film before my first viewing of Fight Club, but it was this film that set off that spark

    Don’t let the title fool you. As a film fanatic, I always view a film without any prior ideas or opinions. This allows me to be able to write what I really thought of the film instead of writing a review on what I thought the film was going to be like. I understand that a lot of people go into the cinemas or video store and choose something to watch with the help of titles and covers. Would you go into the video store and pick up a DVD called Fight Club that was rated R18 with graphic violence and offensive language? If no, then that’s prior opinion. I didn’t let the title create a prior opinion. Now that I’ve cleared up any confusion with the title, I’m going to make this statement: Fight Club is a masterpiece

    Jack, the narrator (Edward Norton), is a chronic insomniac desperate to escape his excruciatingly boring life. He joins these support groups for dying people. It becomes an addiction because it cures his insomnia. However, it is taken away from him when this girl named Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) starts turning up to the same support groups. This is when he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a charismatic soap salesman with a twisted philosophy. Tyler believes self-improvement is for the weak it’s self-destruction that really makes life worth living. Before long, Jack and Tyler are beating each other to a pulp in a bar parking lot, a cathartic slugfest that delivers the ultimate high. To introduce other men to the simple joys of physical violence, Jack and Tyler form a secret Fight Club that becomes wildly successful. But there’s a shocking surprise waiting for Jack that will change everything

    From the moment the opening credits start, the audience knows that it is going to be one bumpy ride. Fincher is well-known for having interesting and atmospheric opening credit sequences, and the beginning of Fight Club is no exception. The amount of adrenaline and thrill pumped into your veins as you view the opening credits is amazing. You cannot get much like it. Only Fincher could capture that mood and chuck it at you from the first few seconds of the film. From then on in, the film is fast and action fuelled, with moments of realisation, excessive violence, and even humour (Brad Pitt’s character Tyler Durden is comic relief in itself).

    In my eyes, this film is a masterpiece. Every single element of the film is perfect. How the film is put together by Fincher, along with the soundtrack composed by The Dust Brothers, the storyline/twist ending, along with the superb performances from the actors and actresses, especially from Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter, Fight Club is and will probably remain my favourite film. 5 out of 5 stars. *****

    “Twister” Movie Review

    “Twister” Plot Summary

    A couple on the point of divorce keep meeting each other because both are researchers who chase tornadoes.

    Great Movie.

    First off, I love this movie. I first saw it during the 2004 Hurricane Season. We were staying by ourselves in an empty church because Hurricane Charlie was set to bulls-eye our town. Instead of watching the Shining and giving in to the creeping feelings of cabin fever, though, I popped the movie into the VCR for the projector screen in the student room, and watched Twister, the sounds of the movie mixing with the sounds of the storm outside

    Also, another reason to like this movie: Thunderstorms rock. I was never one of those kids growing up who would cower under the bed when a T-Storm hit: Florida is, after all, the lightning capital of the world. Heck, we’d open up the window shades and enjoy the show. I also have a Grandma who would pamper us grandkids just like Aunt Mae. For me, there’s a lot of nostalgia riding on this film for me, and I won’t have any elitist snobs ruin it for me

    Honestly, if you’re going to watch Twister, watch it on a rainy day. A really rainy day. Makes all the difference.
