I really believed that the title of the movie was way too long. But despite the fact the trailer looked good I never got to see it in theaters. The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe is an epic movie for the whole family. The story is about four kids that fall inside the world of Narnia, where animals can talk, fauns and centaurs co-exist and ruled by an evil witch. Their destiny is to save Narnia from it’s cold oppression and with the help of Aslan, bring eternal peace short. This pretends to be an epic adventure and meets the challenge (it doesn’t fail like Alexander), you enjoy every moment of that fairytale. The actors did their part in making this movie credible and appealing. It’s not surprising there was so much talk about it during Christmas time and I regret not having seen it sooner. I bet you’ll like this movie, I just can’t see anything wrong with it! I’ve seen it two days ago so I’m not on any hype right now… I’ll give it 9/10 just to be sure you get to see it, the whole point of going to the movies, or to rent one is to spend some time sharing emotions with what you get on screen. This one will please you.
If I dig a little deeper I can tell you that the visual effects are perfectly performed and if you haven’t read the book you’ll be in for some surprises. I’ll agree that some parts can be predictable but then the tables turn and you realize that the movie is smarter than you. You don’t get those fake feelings that some actors display on screens, even digital characters are lovable and they create beautiful chemistry with the living actors. I’ll make a special mention about Tilda Swinton who plays the White Witch and she is just the perfect evil character. I loved hating her in Constantine, I love/hate her even more for her work! I’m also quite fond with the fact that they did not hire teen stars to make this movie. It’s not a cast of super stars and that is good, otherwise you drool over the actor and it’s hard to see past that and understand the characters he’s playing.
The movie was directed by Steven Spielberg and is starring Tom Cruise as Ray Ferrier who has to survive along his family an alien invasion of apocalyptic proportions. The movie is fair and good enough for rent. The acting and the story made sense. The end is not surprising if like me you saw the original 1953 (on rerun!) but it makes sense and made me think a lot about hour planet and how we live on it and treat it. It’s not amusing, takes the alien invasion seriously and with the emotion you would expect from a Spielberg movie.
That’s in fact a 2004 movie, that was not popular at all. It features Colin Farrell in a very disturbing role and clearly states he can perform emotionally demanding characters. That movie focuses on Bobby Morrow, a kid that lost his family in rather weird circumstances and how he must piece his identity back together. That movie is about love, family, sexuality and how one defines himself. I did not find it fun to watch, there was sorrow and sadness all the way. Like a kind of bored bitterness. A bit like the novel (Tin Flute/Bonheur d’occasion), it’s just about the ups and downs of life. I give it a 3/5 because there was some humor and was not worthless, it’s hard to define… you should wait until it comes out on TV, that way you can easily change channel if you can’t stand dialogue only movies.
That was an up-beat Sci-fi movie that I was expecting to see when it came out. That movie was fun. You had some action, cool moves, gun fire, and a women who likes to fight. What more do you want? A great script, logical story line, fair actor play? Lucky you because Aeon Flux has it all! It’s not blazing with special effects, it’s simple and daring. The action takes place in a future where only about 1% of today’s human population survived a deadly virus. The last city on Earth is ruled by the Goodchild regime that oppresses it’s people in giving them boundaries. Imaging Big Brother weeding out traitors, people disappearing with no reason and secret experiments done on citizens. Now Æon, played by Charlyze Theron is an assassin who’s mission is to kill the leader of the government. But as she attempts to complete her job, the plot thickens! That a must rent DVD, you don’t have to wait much, if you have a spare evening and what to see a movie worth renting, that’s the one 4/5 stars is good enough for everyone!
I won’t hide the excitement behind the upcoming release of the third installment of the X-Men movie series.
Now religious beliefs are somehow based on similar assessments, there is claim that an event happened and we are to believe what we have been told. Now you’ll tell me the major difference is that if I don’t believe the Everest is the top of the world I can just buy a ticket for Tibet and go measure it myself. Now the strength of science is that it’s always based on empiric data that can be verified or on data that has been verified in a rigorous way. Now that is interesting because pretty much every religion on this planet is based on writings left by different people. From this point on, it’s the job of Historians to double-check if those information are true or the simple work of fiction. Hopefully we live in a ear where information can be easily preserved , when it comes to events like the 9/11 terrorist attack no one will be able to deny their existence because even a thousand years from now they’ll find audio, picture and video footage of the event.
That show has been driving me crazy!
