The Dark Knight

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

I was completely blown away! :)

This isn’t just the best Batman movie ever made, this is one of the best movie ever made.

Everything in this film is excellent, not one piece of annoyance.

Bale marvels as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Ledger has made The Joker in to an iconic movie villain.

His performance belongs there at the top with Hopkins Lecter.

The Joker has finally been portrait properly on film, he has earned his place between the big boys in movie villandom.

This is the true Joker every Batman fan knows, loves and fears.

Ledger deserves any and every movie award known to man for this brilliant display.

Nolan has made his “I will always be remembered” movie, this is the crownjewel in his portfolio. Perfect directing, perfect story, perfect balance between action and drama, everything is perfect.

Even if you hate Batman, you will love this film.

If you don’t, then something beez wrongz with youz! :)

Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham’s new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker’s crimes grow more and more deadly.

Have fun! ;) magic

The X-Files: I Want to Believe

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Yes mulder and Scully are back…

They’ve left aliens and UFO’s back in the basement!

This is a fresh spin on what we loved about the series with some new dark undertones, that make’s us question what we believe is faith, God and the notion of redemption.

The film itself is less action driven/CGI heavy than the first one, which i liked only because it allowed us to understand and follow our favorite duo, investigating and expanding their relationship, to greater horizons.

The performance of both David and also Gillian are compelling and dramatic, making us feel for them as they carry baggage from the choices they have made.

The supernatural thriller is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show’s most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes the always-complicated relationship between Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions.

Mulder continues his unshakable quest for the truth, and Scully, the passionate, ferociously intelligent physician, remains inextricably tied to Mulder’s pursuits.

The Mutant Chronicles

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

The storyline is okay, but the action is really what this movie is all about.

The scenes when they go underground can get repetitive, and somewhat confusing.

It does drag a little bit underground.

There is action in between though, along with some stuff that would never happen (I know its action/fantasy) but it took me out of the movie a few times, thinking “oh really, that just happened..”.

Anyway, it’s got a lot of violence, gore and shooting.

Cool looking mutants, bombs, etc.

For an action movie, not bad, but could have been way better.

Have fun! ;) magic

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Friday, August 15th, 2008

I personally really like the Mummy series for its epic action, sense of humor and great special effects.

I was delighted when I started seeing teasers for this sequel to be shown in July, mostly because it was quite unexpected. ;)

This movie has all the required elements of epic action, sense of humor and great special effects.

Of course there is still the swashbuckling hero Rick O’Connell played in grand style by Brendan Fraser.

He undoubtedly has this action-comedy genre sewn up right in his alley.

John Hannah is still around playing his brother-in-law, Jonathan, in his old annoying manner.

Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex, wife Evelyn and her brother, Jonathan.

And this time, the O’Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service.

Have fun! ;) magic

Feast Of Love

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

I watched this movie lately and i believe that sometimes fiction get much closer to the real life,to the human nature that is there in reality but we sometimes close or tend to close our eyes.

In this movie love is explained in a more realistic way and hence in the way the life is going and the way the life is in true form.

The TWO probable Definitions of love that they guy says at a moment in the movie are flawlessly realistic but depends on the observer who can see Love with his own eyes! storyline and speed is cool!

Cast is amazing and so is acting of them.

The only thing that lets it down is a bit more than needed sexuality and nudity in the movie.

Other than that, I guess this movie really deserves applause.

Enjoy ;) magic

Rambo

Friday, February 1st, 2008

The project’s budget was 50m so there are many real-like explosions and effects, its a film which starts very fast with action from the beginning.

The film franchise has spun out over 3 decades and well this didn’t live up to the previous film’s, but John Rambo is one I would recomend (my spelling is shocking) ;) , again if your an action fan, but expect some cheezie bits, and at ET we love reviews like this :) make some noize

John Rambo is to guide Christian Aid workers up the Salween River to give medical supplies to the Karen tribe of neighboring Burma.

When the missionaries fail to return, Rambo is persuaded to take a group of mercenaries back into the war-torn border region to find them. What follows is a descent into hell on earth.

Cloverfield

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Simply put, the film is an amazing piece of work.

It also opens up with no credits where as other films do.

Did you know:- that it’s shot entirely with hand-held cameras.

The characters also run :) .

You will either love the way its been shot, as there is lots of running in this, you may hate it too, :) .

Some folk who suffer from siezers due to flashing light; might want to turn away when viewing some parts. It also will anger those who need all the details. Highly recommended though! :)

Did you know: In the USA this film is also known as:
1-18-08 (USA) (promotional title), Cheese (USA) , Clover (USA), Monstrous (USA), (promotional title), Slusho (USA), Untitled J.J. Abrams Project (USA) - full of surprises so we are here at ET :)

Hitman

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

It’s puzzling in that the movie trailers appear more polished than the actual movie or “Hitman” is resourcefully produced on a medium budget?

Some of the action sequences in “Hitman” are breathtaking.

There is the automatic weapons orchestrated mayhem in the Russian night club.

The hunter becomes the hunted when 47 gets caught up in a political takeover.

Interpol and the Russian military chase the Hitman across Eastern Europe, trying to find out who set him up and why they are trying to take him out of the game.

But the greatest threat to 47’s survival may be the stirrings of his conscience and the unfamiliar emotions aroused in him by a beautiful, damaged girl…always a girl involved :)

I watched the cam version of this, and seriously the film is magic, but the quality of the cam did let it down big style :)

Rogue eventually resurfaces to settle a score of his own, igniting a bloody crime war between Asian mob rivals Chang (John Lone) of the Triad’s and Yakuza boss Shiro (Ryo Ishibashi).

When Jack and Rogue finally come face to face, the ultimate truth of their pasts will be revealed.

Genre: Action / Thriller
