Hunt in National Treasure: Book of Secrets

National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)

Genre: Action, Adventure
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel, Ed Harris, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha, Bruce Greenwood, Helen Mirren

"National Treasure: Book of Secrets" is much like its 2004 predecessor and I will be one of the few critics to say that I don't think that's a bad thing. This time, treasure hunter Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage) is presented with a torn-out page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth which implicates his great grandfather as being a co-conspirator in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. To prove his ancestors innocence, he and his treasure hunting team of Riley (Justin Bartha), his tech expert, and Abigail (Diane Kruger), his ex-girlfriend must travel from London to Paris to Washington in order to find clues that will lead them to a lost city of gold. Helping him as well is his historian father (Jon Voight) and college professor mother (Helen Mirren). And hot on his heels is Mitch Wilkinson (Ed Harris), who desperately wants to become a memorable part of history himself.

The story was pretty good I like the idea of the film as well I like these types of films.

With Indiana Jones coming out next year it nice to see a film that uses the same style and grace like the classic film. The film was about 2 hr and 5 mins and it held my attention from start to finish. It did not get boring at all and was just as good as the first one but the first one was a better film overall. Overall I think this is a great film to check out of the Christmas holiday which is a very crowed season with 5 films coming out this week and 4 coming out next week. Make sure you put this film high on your list to check out you will not be disappointed.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is a fun ride. It has all the action and twists you need to keep the grown-ups interested, and it fills things out with some strong action and adventure that will keep the kids happy as well. This film is utterly unbelievable, sometimes silly and totally predictable, but it's loads of fun and an adventure ride for the whole family.

I Am Legend Movie Review

 I Am Legend (2007)

Genres: Action/Adventure, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Thriller, Adaptation and Remake
Starring: Will Smith, Alice Braga, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Willow Smith, Charlie Tahan


Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable...and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City...and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by "the Infected"--victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For three years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and supplies and faithfully sending out radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. All the while, the Infected lurk in the shadows, watching Neville's every move, waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But his blood is also what The Infected hunt, and Neville knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time.
I really Enjoy watching this film. It was the third cinematic adaptation of Richard Matheson's novel with the same title, has been in development for a very long time. Will Smith also is good as Robert Neville. The role requires a lot of him and he delivers on all fronts. He's reasonably believable as a research scientist. He's believable as a concerned father in the flashbacks. He's believable as a man on the brink of insanity. And as past films have shown, he can handle the action well. All this together, with a touch of his trademark humor here and there, make it one of his more memorable performances.

"I Am Legend" also does a great job of building up suspense. The film goes for long stretches where very little happens, then it builds up to incredibly intense confrontations between Robert and the creatures. His first encounter with them in a dark building is quite disturbing and certainly sets the audience on edge. They manage to keep this suspense going with every other following confrontation.
All in all, this movie was very fun to watch. Im sure that those interested in post-apocalyptic sci-fi adventure will satisfy them in watching "I Am Legend".

The Brave One Movie Review

The Brave One (2007)

The Brave One starring Jodie Foster is in the same vain as her recent thrillers, Flightplan and Panic Room, only this one is grittier and more harrowing. Foster is such a good actress in thrillers: natural, unaffected, threatened, plucky, looking like she means it. And Neil Jordan's "The Brave One" gives her someone strong like her to play against.

The Brave One is an interesting revenge flick, although it is bloody and at times brutal, it doesn't revel in the violence. There's more to the movie than initially meets the eye for an eye. This is about the psychology of revenge and whether a person who takes a stance as a vigilante has crossed over an ambiguous moral line.

Foster plays Erica, a talk jock on a New York radio station where she walks the streets and observes the changes that are happening in the city she loves. She's engaged to a doctor named David (Naveen Andrews). On an unfortunate night that they were in Central Park, they were mugged, he's killed, and she's badly injured. Erica survives, at least physically. Emotionally, she's a hollow shell. She spent three weeks in the hospital recovering, then it took some time before she gathered the courage to venture outside of her apartment. Her illusion of a safe city life is destroyed. One day she bought a gun and practiced on a shooting range where you can see fear turning into anger in her eyes. Erica is fear later turns into a misguided purpose as she decides to take matters into her own hands by punishing bad guys on the street with her illegal nine millimeter. Detective Mercer (Terrence Howard) and his partner Vitale (Nicky Katt) are tracking down this vigilante killer; Erica steps forward at a crime scene and asks to interview Mercer. They developed this rapport as they discuss the ongoing investigation. Erica is terribly conflicted and puts herself right in his crosshairs when they go together to interview the one witness to her brand of justice. You gotta wonder how this is all going to end.

That kind of psychological suspense is what makes "The Brave One" spellbinding. The movie doesn't dine out on action scenes, but regards with great curiosity how these two people will end up. The Brave One is technically a thriller. There is tension and uncertainty, and an unconventional cat-and-mouse game plays out between Erica and Mercer. There's a connection between them but when they face each other on the benighted streets of New York, they are on opposite sides of that uncertain demarcation between law and justice. The Brave One is a smart and thought-provoking motion picture that re-examines a genre without violating its conventions.

The Seeker: The Dark Rising

The Seeker: The Dark Rising

With the successful film versions of the "Harry Potter" and "Narnia" books, it's no surprise that similar works are getting the big screen treatment, and Susan Cooper's "The Dark Is Rising" sequence is the latest in the bunch. The Seeker is based upon the 5-book young adults fantasy series of novels The Dark is Rising, especially the second book in the series, which is also titled "The Dark is Rising.", a winner of the Newberry Honor and a runner-up to the Newberry Medal Award in 1974.

This classic theme of light versus dark pits a young 14-year-old boy against the forces of evil in a small English village. Will Stanton (Alexander Ludwig) is going through the normal challenges of adolescence, but unlike most of them, however, Will is very different. He is the last of the Old Ones beings, a vanishing group of people destined to fight the forces of evil known as The Dark, led by a figure called The Rider (Christopher Eccleston). Leading Will through his journey of discovery are a group of Old Ones led by Merriman (Ian McShane) and Frances Conroy,. They will help Will harness his powers so that he can travel through time and seek out 6 stones that will give him the power to knock The Rider down. With the world's nearly heading for obliteration by the enemies, the young teen has only five days to collect six symbolic signs that will reverse the advance of the dark forces. So better watch the movie and follow the fun and exciting adventure of Will as he searches through snake-infested tombs, sneaks past medieval pillagers and fights off fantastical creatures sent by The Rider to hamper his efforts to save the world from the hands of the dark ones.

The series of young-adult fantasy novels this flick is based upon long predate Harry Potter, they were written in the 1960s and 70's. Like Harry Potter, the main character in The Seeker is a teenage boy learning how to employ magical powers against evil. So naturally, critics are comparing it to the Potter movies. But i found that this first installment in a film fantasy series, could turn out to be the new Harry Potter. It has also a magic that drive the watcher's instinct of expecting more adventure by the main character. So better wait for its other installments. I'm sure the story gets even better and exiting in its next sequel as Will's adventure continues.

The movie is brought to you by 20th Century Fox and it was released last October 5th, 2007, hitting the big screen for more than 3000 theaters worldwide. It last for 98 minutes of fun adventure and some cool effects displayed in the movie that makes it very entertaining to watch.

Good Luck Chuck Movie Review

Good Luck Chuck (2007)

Funny and Nudity, are the two words that best describe this romantic comedy film directed by Mark Helfrich. The movie is based on the short story of Steve Glenn where the character Charlie (Dane Cook), who is not really called as "Chuck," except in the title, was cursed by an 11-year old goth girl during a 1985 game of spin-the-bottle party. He fights off her enthusiastic sexual assault so she issued a curse that every woman he falls in love with will leave him and immediately find the man of her dreams. From then, started the hilarious and misadventure packed movie.

Charlie grows up to become a dentist with an office next to his plastic-surgeon pal Stu(Dan Fogler). His best friend is still the short, chubby, curly-haired. Stu, obsessed by breasts, has grown up to become a cosmetic surgeon specializing in breast enlargements. When they attend the wedding of one of Chucks exes, he begins to realize that every girl he ever had a relationship with has found happiness with the next man she met. And then suddenly Charlie, who has been unlucky in love, fall head-over-heels for the accident-prone Cam (Jessica Alba), who works at a sea aquarium and loves penguins so much. Charlie love Cam so much but he recognizes the horrible truth: if he has sex with Cam, he will lose her forever. Even worse, the rumor spreads around the town about his curse but he still get a lot of dates and of course sex with the girls in town, but no true romance. Women only want him so they can find a life partner in whoever follows him into their lives. How will this paradox be resolved? Will Charlie finally find his true love?
