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".

From the maker of the Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious comes the highest-octane installment of the hit movie franchise, Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, offers you plenty of loud, spins its wheels , and fast and furious actions of the coolest cars in town. The movie also introduce a new and exciting specialized style of racing technique developed out of Japan:drifting.

Mission: Impossible III Movie Review

Mission: Impossible III (2006)

The thrills come mad hot and wicked sweet in Mission: Impossible III, the movie to beat last summer of 2006, in the race to push your pulse rate past the danger zone with strong supporting cast, spectacular stunts, and engaging plot. This will be the third in a series of movies starring Tom Cruise based upon the 1960's TV series starring Martin Landau, following 1996's Mission: Impossible and 2000's Mission: Impossible 2.

Each "Mission: Impossible" film, by design, is different than every other, tending to take on the characteristics of the filmmakers making it, so it's no surprise that this iteration from "Alias" and "Lost" mastermind J.J. Abrams, making his directorial debut, greatly resembles his television work - particularly "Alias" - while taking advantage of films' ability to do large and stunning set pieces, of which M:i:III has several and all are generally very well executed. With a reported budget of $185 million, M:i:III is the most expensive movie ever undertaken by a first-time director.

It has a great opening action sequence, full of twists and turns with action elements occurring on multiple levels and engaging the entire cast. The film opens with an amazing, taut two-minute pre-credits teaser that leaves the audience desperate for more. Cruise, as secret agent Ethan Hunt, has been drugged, beaten and handcuffed to a chair. Baddie Philip Seymour Hoffman has kidnapped Ethan's wife, Julia (Michelle Monaghan), and he wants Ethan to watch as he tortures her. As Hoffman coos and flutters around the terrified woman, Cruise squints, blinks and bucks. Though it kind of spoils what happens later in the story, but it hooks the audience and pulls them fully on board for the ride in the movie.

Super-spy Ethan Hunt has retired from active duty to train new IMF agents. But he is called back into duty to confront the toughest villain he's ever faced - Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), an international weapons and information provider with no remorse and no conscience in Berlin. Hunt assembles his team - his old friend Luther Strickell (Ving Rhames), transportation expert Declan (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), background operative Zhen (Maggie Q), and fresh recruit Lindsey (Keri Russell) - to travel the globe pursuing Davian. But the mission just results in the capturing of Lindsey and kidnapping of his wife, Julia. Now he's again in the mission to rescue his co-agent and most of all rescue his love, Julia in the hands of Davian.

For me, this is the most action-packed "Mission: Impossible" so far. If you're a fan of the previous "Mission: Impossible" films, I'm sure you'll be pleased with this sequel. It has all the action and suspense of its predecessors and it further develops the character of Ethan Hunt and his fellow spies. It also features more of the clever spy gadgets that would make James Bond green with envy. Fans of "Alias" should also be pleased with this film. Writer-director J.J. Abrams brings a lot of the elements that made "Alias" great into "Mission: Impossible III." There's international intrigue, romance, conspiracy, and tense action. It all comes together to make a solid and entertaining summer action flick.

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.

Resident Evil Apocalypse

Resident Evil Apocalypse

Alice is back! Not the one in Wonderland wearing red shoes,I'm talking about the Alice in Zombie-land with guns and long knives.

"Extinction" picks up several years after the T-virus from the earlier films has spread around the world, discovering that the nukes weren't all that effective in containing the virus in the previous movie and turning those infected into the walking dead, and even zombie dogs and a sky full of zombie crows around the globe.

From an underground base in Nevada, Umbrella scientists led by the evil Dr. Issacs (Iain Glen) are attempting to synthesize a cure to the virus, using clones grown from Alice's blood. To be able to escape from the hands of the Umbrella, Alice (Milla Jovovich) went and travel in a wasteland alone to avoid being tracked by them. Then she meet up Claire (Ali Larter) with Carlos (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps) both from the previous Apocalypese to go to Alaska, a virus-free zone. But first they decided to head to the ruins of Las Vegas to refuel for the big trip. Another display of zombie butt-kicking and series of gunslinging held and they ended up in the climax, the final battle with Umbrella and the evil Dr. Isaacs, fighting a boss-type zombie.
