Transporter 3

30 Nov

Transporter 3

Riding on after the fun and at times hilariously over-the-top “Transporter 2″, Jason Statham is back as Frank Martin, aka, The Transporter in “Transporter 3.”

If you enjoyed the previous films, I can guarantee you will love this ride of mayhem.

Frank Martin has been pressured into transporting Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of Leonid Vasilev, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency for the Ukraine, from Marseilles through Stuttgart and Budapest until he ends up in Odessa on the Black Sea.

The House Bunny

29 Nov

Let me just say that I’m having a great time watching The House Bunny, this is for the lads too ;)

To sum it up, The House Bunny is basically an Adam Sandler movie for girls, with Anna Faris breathing life into an otherwise flat movie with her uncanny comic ability and unbeatable charm.

In short, she makes the movie watchable, and in some moments, likable and entertaining.

When Shelly, a Playboy bunny, is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Tau Zeta.

The members of the sorority – who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet – are about to lose their house.

have fun! ;) magic

Fire And Ice

29 Nov

The acting is okay in this, John Rhys-Davies and Arnold Vosloo were the strongest, and the rest of the cast were ho-hum.

The special effects are predictably terrible, however, that only applies to the stingray-like dragons because the landscapes are quite enjoyable to look at. ;)

The dragons do not look good, and it was quite a letdown to be honest.

All in all, Fire & Ice has an overall okay production value, making it seem like an expensive project, but with a mediocre story, all it really adds up to is a snooze-fest. :)

have fun! ;) magic

Elegy

28 Nov

Kingsley charges into his role like a lion, showing David’s brashness in preying on the young girls he so dearly missed out on during his married youth, but he also brings regret, vulnerability, and cluelessness to David that make him worthy of sympathy.

Penelope Cruz couldn’t be better as his above-age Lolita, bringing a soft-spoken sexiness and warmth to a woman trying mightily to disarm a man primarily drawn to women as play things.

Where has Dennis Hopper been? This is one of his best performances in a long time, playing a man whose gone through the wringer a couple times with relationships himself who now offers up his own wisdom, coupled with some comic relief as well.

Driven by Isabel Coixet’s visually assured and deeply observant direction, ELEGY charts the passionate relationship between a celebrated college professor and a young woman whose beauty both ravishes and destabilizes him.

enjoy! ;) magic

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl

28 Nov

This film moves at a fast enough pace to keep all ages happy.

It reveals the era of the Depression with total respect for the people of the era.

The film takes the high road in which moral decisions are clearly understood.

There is also a mystery and it is interesting.

All the acting is fine and there are a great variety of actors of all ages.

This film reminds me that movies are not suppose to be aimed at one particular age group in order to improve ticket sales.

This is just a good old fashioned movie.

10 year old Kit lives in a boarding house her parents own in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has a passion for writing, & dreams of having something of hers put in the local paper someday.
