Salt

07 Aug

This turned out to be one of those over-the-top but real decent thrill-ride type actioners.

Though there are those out there who just won’t cut Angelina Jolie a break, even the haters can’t deny that the girl can act.

She’s excellent in this film, about one of the CIA’s top interrogators who’s accused of being a Russian sleeper agent.

It’s fairly early in the film when the action begins and it runs and runs from there on.

There’s a good twist to plot much later on and we like movies that let you try to figure them out as they go along, rather than force feeding you the answers with dumbed down dialog and screechy music because the writers assume the audience is too stupid to get the obvious story movements.

This one doesn’t do that. :)

If you’re not a fan of crazy stunt sequences that no one (in reality) would come out of without broken bones, much less survive, then maybe you won’t enjoy this flick too much.

Otherwise, see it, it’s a blast, it’s got a good cast with Liev Schreiber (always excellent) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (ditto), and the storyline rips right along.

Check it out Today!.

As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country.

Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy.

Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture.

Salt’s efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: “Who is Salt?”

It’s also been dubbed as “The Bourne Salt-imatum” you heard it first here at et – the place to be.

The Book Of Eli

27 May

The Hughes Brothers, directors of From Hell and Menace II Society among others, have created an interesting and thoughtful action movie, that also carries a message of faith and hope.

The action set-pieces are well handled, and the photography of the movie, is very well done.

While the setting itself isn’t particularly new, along similar lines to Mad Max and other movies of this kind, they still get some pretty impressive visuals.

They are also helped by having two of the best actors around in this movie.

Denzel Washington carries the movie easily and is also very convincing in the action sequences.

Gary Oldman as Carnegie gives a performance more in line with some earlier work, such as Leon than some recent performances but he is always worth watching.

The rest of the cast, led by Mila Kunis all give good support.

View Trailer


Eli (Denzel Washington) has been on a journey for 30 years, walking west across America after a cataclysmic war that turned the earth into a total wasteland.

http://i50.tinypic.com/33ur2pi.png

The world has become a lawless civilization where people must kill or be killed.

The barren roads belong to gangs of cutthroats who rob and kill for water, a pair of shoes, a lighter, or just for fun.

Eli is a peaceful man who only acts in self defense, and becomes a warrior with unbelievable killing skills when he is challenged.

enjoy! ;) magic

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

09 Aug

Most of us here were probably fans of the G.I Joe toys when we were kids (back then they where called Action Force) so we had a good idea of the characters and story before hand.

This film stayed true to most of the original concepts with a few tweaks for the better here and there.

It’s a fun action film full of special effects and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Don’t see this film if you are an uptight, unhappy film critic that spends too much time highlighting plot holes and acting because that’s not what this film is about!!

It’s more of a roller-coaster ride. Fast, furious and just fun.

Director Stephen Sommers (The Mummy) adapts the beloved Hasbro G.I. Joe toy line with this Paramount Pictures production that pits the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity against the evil forces of the organization known as Cobra.

Dennis Quaid and Channing Tatum star as General Hawk and Duke Hauser, respectively, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marlon Wayans leading the rest of the cast, including Sienna Miller, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Saïd Taghmaoui, and Asian film star Lee Byung-hun.

See! its all fun ;) magic

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.

nice ;) magic

Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa

12 Nov

When it started up I was immediately sucked in, and I never became uninterested and it never stopped entertaining, because they did an excellent job at keeping your attention.

There were some parts in the movie where I felt as if they tried too hard to please the audience and then others it got a little dumb and boring, but overall I laughed I almost cried and when it was over I wanted to watch it again. ;)

It’s a great sequel to a great movie and I enjoyed watching it as much as the first.

It’s fantastic ;) , you must see it.

The sequel of the first movie, the New York Zoo Animals, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo, still stranded on Madagascar, started to leave the island.

All of a sudden, they landed in the wilderness of Africa.

have fun! ;) magic

Quantum of Solace

11 Nov

After the critically acclaimed and much successful ‘Casino Royale’ I had hopes that ‘Quantum of Solace’ could rival this years best movie so far: ‘The Dark Knight’.

Well… it doesn’t even come close. :P

There use to be a time when Bond movies where trendsetting…

On paper Quantum of Solace may be a Bond movie.

But many of those things that people use to associate with Bond movies are gone.

And what’s up with this new style of filming and editing?

Quantum of Solace’ continues the high octane adventures of James Bond from ‘Casino Royale’.

Picking up literally days where the previous film left off, after being betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal.

enjoy! ;) magic

Taken

09 Nov

The most thrilling movie I’ve seen in a long time.

Neeson is what we would fear if James Bond went to hell and came back for revenge (I doubt big budget Quantum of Solace will top this). :P

I loved Jason Bourne; but where Bourne is confused for half the movie, Neeson is looking down a barrel of a pistol 3/4 of the time.

In a three way spy battle, I would put Neeson edging out Bourne, who would be a step ahead of Bond.

Between the jaw-dropping action sequences was the subject matter of international trafficking, which was pretty miserable to watch.

An ex-soldier (Liam Neeson) traveling through Europe embarks on a frantic quest to rescue his daughter (Maggie Grace) after the young girl is abducted by slave traders in District B13 director Pierre Morel’s contemporary thriller Taken.

enjoy! ;) magic
