“Hero” Movie Review
“Ying xiong” Plot Summary
A series of Rashomon-like flashback accounts shape the story of how one man defeated three assassins who sought to murder the most powerful warlord in pre-unified China.
Beautiful.
In all honesty, Hero required a bit more patience than I thought. Tarantino wanted to present this movie to North American audiences so I thought there would have been more action, but surprise! There is much drama in Hero and the movie begins with one intention and unfolds, in a deceptively beautiful fashion, into a legend that is much larger than the characters themselves are involved! Why did it have to take so long to prove such a point?Anyway, a man who shall remain Nameless has dispatched the kingdom’s three top assassins, thus easing the King’s mind that he could sleep at night. But the King is curious and we see the true story and how the tale unfolds
The fights are beautiful. The battle between Snow and Moon, though lopsided, was a joy. It was art in itself. But overall, be patient. With the many changes in the story, I lost my concentration adjusting to it. But any fan of martial arts and drama must see this movie. It is that elegant.

“Accidental Hero” Plot Summary
A not-so-nice man rescues passengers from a crashed airliner, only to see someone else take credit. add synopsis
A Very Good Film
I found this little gem in the bargain bin and liked the theme, so I thought I’d give it a try. And it more than delivered
Here is a truly thoughtful satire that considers what it really means to be a ‘hero’. More important, it seeks to find the heroic in everyday peoples’ actions in the midst of a media culture that is constantly on the lookout for genuine heroes and, finding none, manufactures grandiose imitations instead
The theme of heroism is everywhere in this film, and it might even sound like it is preaching a bit at times, particularly in Andy Garcia’s final monologue on the subject. But it all comes together quite well and ends with a lot of heart. The acting is superb, the screenplay is focused, and I was amazed how well Hero combines the entertainment of fiction with the thoughtfulness of a documentary. If you are interested in the theme of heroism I would highly recommend this film. 9/10.

“TMNT” Movie Review
“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV” Plot Summary
The continued adventures of the four adolescent mutated turtles gifted in the art of the ninja, as they attempt to stop a mysterious evil that threatens to end the world.
An excellent and enjoyable treat for all Turtles fans!
I saw this last night at a preview in my local Odeon. I am a big fan of the Turtles and have been since my childhood. I wasn’t quite sure of what to expect from this movie but I was very impressed
The characters have all had a terrific makeover which is displayed with some of the best on screen animation that I have seen in a long time. The film itself is a bit vivid but all the same very enjoyable
All the chosen voice overs and presentations for each character seem very well suited, although my only criticism is against April O Neils character. She has gone from a geeky news reporter to tough as nails ninja it would appear, but we are not told exactly how far into the future this movie is from the Turtles timescale so I accept that the scriptwriters have progressed things and the characters have moved forward.**Spoiler Alert** One thing in particular is Leonardo , he looks very, very well done indeed. One scene in particular is the rooftop fight scene between him and Raphael which looks visually stunning and is way above anything I have seen in the animation world
The fight scenes/violence are a lot tougher than what you would expect from a Turtles feature. Some hard hitting ‘ninja’ violence is displayed throughout the movie and combined with the scary monsters is well worth it’s PG certificate. All in good taste though
Overall a very enjoyable and visual treat for the kids and grown ups which does justice for the whole TMNT history.

Breathtakingly Beautiful…
As a film student living in Toronto, I look forward to the Toronto International Film Festival every year. Last year, the highlight of the festival for me was American Beauty. This year, it would have to be (so far) Ang Lee’s ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’.Being of Asian descent, I’ve seen my share of wu xia genre movies to last me a life time. However, most of them are so centred on the fighting, that they forget the rest of the elements that are involed. The movie turns into one long scripted fighting scene with maybe a slight hint of story. Crouching Tiger, on the other hand realizes these issues, and builds these oh-so entertaining action sequences into an epic with typical asian themes such as true love and honour
Being an epic, one would expect the usual long takes and establishing shots, and boy does it ever look beautiful. Traversing through a myriad of regions spanning the lengh of China (from the deserts to bamboo forests, to mountains high in the clouds), the film soley based on its asthetic properties is nothing short of stunning. The lighting of different landscapes and the exquisitly designed costumes all radiate with stunning colour. And then there’s the cinemetography. Wow! The backdrops, establishing shots look absolutely marvelous. If your jaw dropped when you saw Rome and its coliseum in Gladiator, wait until you see ancient Beijing recreated on the screen!Okay, so it’s a good looking movie. What about the story? The complexity of the plot is rather sparse, probably reminiscent of epics such as Braveheart or Gladiator, which is by no means a bad thing. Although both Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeo did have major parts, this movie belongs mostly to Zhang Ziyi who IMHO did an amazing job playing a very complex role (one which required her to represent nobily as a princess, naivness, as well as show inner strength). Mainly concentrating on her unwillingness to give in to the ideals of an arranged marriage, the decently written script adds a story of an old warrior trying to retire and a 300+ year old sword
All in all, this film blends story, well choreographed action, and a stylistic eye to create a mythilogical piece that not only represents the wu xia genre justly by doing it well, but also contributes to raising the quality of filmmaking usually applied in the making of a similar type of film.
