CLASH OF THE TITANS

SAM WORTHINGTON has made a massive impact on hollywood in 2009/2010, with three big blockbusters all in a row! terminator salvation acting alongside of christian bale (batman). Avatar as the lead role of jake sully (a movie that has broken all box office records thanks to visionary and genius james cameron). Clash of the Titans, a remake of the 1981's version. Directed by louis leterrier (unleashed/ danny the dog, transporter 2, the incredible hulk).

The movie follows the trials and tribulations of demi God called perseus (sam worthington), who is the son of the almighty God Zeus(liam neeson), father of all humans on earth. Hades, god of the underwold has a plan to overthrow his brother Zeus and take the seat of power in the heavens, he does this by unleashing the kracken! a monster so evil and powerful it defeated the TITANS, the fathers of Zeus, Hades and Poisedon. Hades creation is released upon a city of humans that have cursed the gods, a series of events and fate draw perseus with a few warriors where their quest takes them across dangerous paths and into the pits of medusa's lare!

The movie has lots of action and the only place it lets the audience down is th graphics, although they are top notch the massive scale of the movie perhaps used too much graphics. Everything else was pretty good though. Superb visualisation and scenery of an early earth where it was Man vs. Gods!

Clash of the Titans rated: 3/5

disney have been around for so long...atleast 80 years or somethign apparently...hell long...



and they r still makign classics in cartoon like this story of a magical kiss...



although disney have branched out to movies such as "high school musical" and "pirates of the carribean" they still remain one of the oldest and most accomplished film franchise on earth...and tht doesnt happen by making shit movies!



that happend through makign quality films like "the princess and the frog"



voice actors such as:
Anika Noni Rose
bruno campos
keith david (pitch black, the chronicles of riddick, halo 3 voice actor of "the arbiter")
oprah winfrey
jim cummings (winnie the pooh)
terrence howard (iron man)
john goodman (the emporors new grooove, the big lebowski)
etc etc

anyway this movie was actually quite interesting and knwoing disney for its quirky humour it didnt dissapoint! at all!

sherlock holmes

robert downey jn.
jude law
rachael mcadams
mark strong

excellent cast
excellent director (guy ritchie, lock, stock and two smokign barrels, snatch, rock n rolla)
excellent movie

the movie potrays sherlock holmes and dr. john watson as realistic crime fighters...simialr to batman and robin without all th disguises and stunts that make blockbuster action heroes look extremely talented and strong, etc...

sherlock holmes isnt some super hero...but he is an insanely good detective, fighter and analyst of sorts...i dont know the history behind the man but in the movie he comes across as a man that has an unlimited degree of intelligence (perhaps a photographic memory) and a perspective of his fellow man that is quite futuristc for his day and age of an industrial dated englishman.

events of the movie start from november 19th, 1891 which make my previous comment relevant as in the movie the london bridge was being constructed, which also means that england was very industrial at the time.

watson and holmes were a very heroic, but heroism does takwe it toll. liek batman sherlock and holmes did things their own way. therefore were taken into custody for interfering with investigations run by the police...

new inventions started to come into effect in this movie, such as the reference of the deadly weapon that is triggered via remote (aka radio waves).

science and alchemy coem into this movie more then i thought it would, however, it doesnt dissapoint or slow down th movie. rather makes the twists in the movie more complex, which in turn adds intrigue and which again makes the movie a good one...

i conclude by sayign tht i really enjoyed this movie, robert downey jn. and jude law are in their prime with no hint of slowing down.

sherlock holmes rated: 4/5

fantastic mr.fox

directed by: Wes anderson
voice acted by: george clooney, meryl streep, bill murray, jason schwartzman, michael gambon, etc.

this movie, a classic childrens story made into a hilarious comedy about a fox and his family and the woes he gets them into...a movie made in miniature with puppets makes the story feel childish and draws in that target audience, but the humour also reaches out for the mature adult in every 19+ person!

i quite liked it, with george clooney as the lead characters voice, it was quite an escape from his usual movies and it made me see him in a different but still fascinating light.

followed but a whole list of celebrity voices that are always involved in the wes anderson signature of movies, it creates a warm and funny atmosphere and an enjoyable cinema experience! :)

i really liked it

the wild things

where the wild things are

based on a childrens book, this movie puts you in the shoes of a young boy whos imagination runs wild. this imagination is unique and through some family problems max (the main character) runs away from home and spends th night in his imaginary world, to escape the one he was already in. every child does this and so the movie sends every adult or teenager a message: that we were all children once, with imaginations just liek this. and that its good to escape for a while fromt he present. but...that doin so never solves any problems cause u always turn up right were you started.

max's adventureous experience take shim to a completely new world full of strange and enormous creatures...however his new world is a dipiction of the world he just escaped from...same problems, different people/ creatures...he tries to sort out these problems in the new world but ends up makign things worse. so he says sorry and leaves it for his newly found freinds/ family to work it out for themselves.

he returns home.
and is happy.

for now...

but whenever he feels lonely or sad again..he knows his friends will be waiting for him.

where the wild things are rated: 3.5/5

AVATAR

james cameron has done it again!

director, writer and producer of titanic, terminator, terminator 2, and aliens.

and now Avatar.

duration: 2 hrs 55mins
acting cast: sam worthington (terminator salvation, bootmen, and hart's war)
zoe saldana (the terminal, star trek)
sigourney weaver (alien, aliens, vantage point, holes, ghost busters, galaxy quest)
giovanni ribisi (gone in 60 seconds, sky captain and the world of tomorrow,
saving private ryan)
stephen lang, michelle rodriguez, joel moore, wes studi, laz alonso

the story of avatar: jake sully, an ex marine (paraplegic) is shipped off to a remote and hostile planet called pandora. on this planet are an indigenous race called the Na'vi, who are twice the height of a human with blue skin. these religious and warrior type humanoids are being driven out of their home by the humans, as a precious metal is only located on pandora.

jake sully is initiated into the avatar program where his genes are fused with the genes of the na'vi to create an entirely new being that can be remotely controlled by the human through mental thought and expensive mindlink machines/ capsules. the purpose of the avatar program is to socialise with the local people (the omatica'ya people) and make bonds of friendship and offer them medicine, food, etc. however, through a string of unforseen events jake is seperated with his research crew and left in the jungle of pandora to fight for himself. this is when he meets neytiri (the daughter of the chief of the omatica'ya people). she saves him from certain death and brings him into her home to meet her family.

neytiri teaches jake the ways of the omatica'ya, how to shoot a bow and arrow, to hunt, and speak the language of the na'vi. after three months jake becomes one of the people, he becomes a man and falls in love with neytiri, the forrest and the people. but when the miners reach a sacred spot jake is enraged and retaliates against his own people.

his general locks him up and cuts off all his avatar work so that jake cant warn the omatica'ya people of the impending doom. the humans are going to destroy home tree.

this act creates a rift between jake and neytiri, so he breaks out of prison and finds an isolated spot to access his avatar and protect the na'vi from the human siege.

this is probably a lame depiction of the plot. but i dont care.

i love this movie.
i officially claim this movie as my number one of all time!

because of the story, the original characters, the amazing landscape and creatures and the amazing graphics. it is an epic movie of infinite proportions...i literally dont think a movie will match avatar for years to come. not for its detail or shear amazingness...

avatar rated: 6/5

new moon

well the highly anticipated new moon from the so called "twilight saga" was a huge success to me in many ways. but it also had some dissapointing bits in it...namely kristen stewarts acting and the last scene of the movie, and the clip of bella and edward running like lil girls in th forrest (the future bella and edward apparenlty)

but the rest of the movie was pretty awesome
the soundtrack to twilight was amazing and this new moon soundy was just as good. props to the man/ woman in charge! :)

the movie was made pretty much like the book, new moon being th least interesting book in th series the director made it pretty good.

big plus of this movie = jacob black
he has the best looking abs in the world! also his arms are pretty buff!

the graphics for the wolves were pretty sick aswell...and the volturi were well portrayed aswell i think...we will have to wait and see how they go in th fourth film...which i cant wait for! :)


anyway new moon was pretty good all in all...apart from those few scenes

new moon rated: 3/5

the imaginarium

the imaginarium of doctor parnassus

heath ledgers last movie (uncompleted last movie)
johnny depp, jude law and colin farrel stepped in to fulfill his final work of art

however!

it wasnt as glorious as i thought it was going to be...

directed by the holy grail, meaning of life, life of brians terry gilliam i was expecting this movie to be funny, fast paced and exciting...however slow scenes turned into boring scenes with not so compeling actors...until heath is brought into th story it is uninteresting...but even the legendary heath ledger cannot make an average movie a master piece and so some of his acting seemed sereal and unrealisticly dramatic or strange...this whole movie is strange...

its saving grace to make heaths last movie not such a tragedy lays in the hands of the actual story, the special effects and imaginary worlds that terry gilliam has created for the characters in the story to travel upon! like your own personal yellow brick road...filled with your hearts desires and wonders, interests and secrets.

you leave the cinema expecting to wake up from one of yuor own dreams...and u see real life people walking and drinking coffee and buying clothes and you wonder just when this ugly, dull dream will end and turn back into the colourful and exotic dream of the imaginarium of doctor parnassus!

WHIP IT

up and come actress Ellen page, hard candy, xmen: the last stand, and Juno has dominated the red carpet with various awards and has in the last 4 years risen to stardom. Her latest movie whip it, where an indie-rock loving girl from a small town in Texas with a pageant obsessed mum and working class father tries to find a new thrill in life when a roller derby in Austin comes to her attention. she immediately pics up the roller skates and makes the team where she meets new and exciting women that are fun, energetic and rebellious.

A directorial debut from co-star drew Barrymore more then sets the scene with quirky scenes and hilarious acting. Barrymore catches every detail of emotion in her actress' and actor's from joy to sorrow which makes the audience bond with Ellen page's character Bliss cavander, Alia shawkat's character Pash, and Marcia gay hardens character Brooke cavander.

roller derby is a full contact sport where pushing, punching, scratching, and tripping are all part of the strategy to win points for your team. team with the most points win.

well known music for this movie makes it feel more suitable for the rebellious 14-19 year old girl or boy.

personal opinion...i love Ellen page, she is one of the best young actors of today's day and age. whoever votes against that is obviously a fool! the movie is a winner in my books and i will definitely be buying it. drew Barrymore's first time as director was a great success and with her style and attitude the movie was fun to watch and most people would be hard put to say it was bad!

whip it rated: 4/5
