Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Woo...Lets check it out this time!!
3rd.Dec,I just finished Die Hard 4.0,Len Wiseman gives us an exceptional movie this time,especially the movie effect throughout the whole period.Not like the subject of the former ones,this time it is about a network high-tech anti-terrorist action.John McClane(Willis) remains a tough hero till the end.
The move particularly attracts me a lot is the blockbusters,really professional and fabulous,the dialogue between the truck and a battle plane hits me impressively,it's not hard to image the cost expense,but it worth,at least there's a longtime we have been expecting,a big film.Die hard 5.0 I believe is not far from us...
The Magdalene Sisters (2002)
Fight for women's right and position
Peter Mullan,a brilliant director revealed a social background during the period in Ireland in the sixties.Women,committed to moral sins,for instance giving birth to premarriage-child and repeated flirting,anything referring to so-called moral sins will be taken to the Magdalene sisterhood asylum cared by nuns,where proved by the movie as a hell for the women.In 1960s,less attention had paid to the women's rights and position.
In the movie,Rose(Dorothy Duffy),Bernadette(Dorothy Duffy)and Margaret(Anne-Marie Duff) are the typical sacrificial lamb in that age,deprived the freedom and getting punished in the name of the god by nuns.Nuns regard themselves as implementing the god's belief to reborn those girls and make their souls purified.Strong religion belief powerfully curb the woman behavior,that seems to be controversial nowadays.Additionally,the Asylum was the outcome of catholic religion,only to bring the bitterness and pain to those young ladies,which anyone couldn't suffer anymore.Fierce psychological abuse and toil destroyed life one by one,they can do nothing but to endure,be accountable for the laundry,the only hope for them is the belief of each other.Three girls eventually escaped the inhuman Magdalene Asylum,regain their freedom and woman respect which was supposed to be originally deserved,back to the real life.On the other side,the nuns considered to be the god message-carrier during that time,they do the evil which they think is delivering the meaning of the god.However,Peter Mullan successfully uglify the nuns throughout the movie,showing enough satire in the meanwhile as well.Waking people the strong dissatisfaction of the curb of the freedom,and that's is the point the director want to show us.
The movie reflects the bad things which was thought of as people did correctly in the name of the religion in the past,that's the evil and a violation of the human nature.Peter Mullan disclosed it by all means.That's great!
My rating(8/10)
The Sixth Sense (1999)
One of the greatest masterpiece on Top 250,AggressivelyEncouraged
The only regret for me is that the movie recently be appreciated,a little be later than I expected, this movie is no doubt one of the greatest masterpiece of M. Night Shyamalan.If somebody tells you that the sixth sense is a horror movie,he is definitely wrong about the subject the director want to show us.I like the tactic of this one a wee same with the Alejandro Amenábar's The Others or Opern Your Eyes which is also my favourite. M. Night Shyamalan is so special and focusing on every little piece and you are supposed to connect it step by step throughout the movie to find the director's destination.Don't get confused,when you grab the thought of the little boy Cole Sear(Haley Joel Osment),you are getting closer to the core of the movie.Additonally,the twist end is classic and be the moment you will find why this movie has been rolled into the Top 250,it's generally accepted by most our audience friends.
The doctor(Willis) eventually waked up and knows where he belongs to and it's also time for leaving resulting from the inter-belief of Cole,who is always haunted by the ghost in his world.Cole is the only hope for these ghosts to appease themselves, M. Night Shyamalan reveals the two aspect of human character simultaneously,the ugliness and the beauty with the help of the successful figure of Cole.The clues in the movie are invaluable,with which you may totally understand the whole subject of this movie,the mind of M. Night Shyamalan whose conception is of a little bit audacity and breakthrough.It may not be the best film in dozens of years,however,it does hit a lot of people both mentally and physically,encourage people's normal life!! RATING(9/10)
There's Something About Mary (1998)
A Funny love story
Personally speaking,the movie is purely for entertainment after supper,added with a lot of funny episodes as well as some interesting stuffs.Howerver,perhaps all the gut is around a beautiful woman Mary(Cameron Diaz),who is pursued simultaneously by several guys,really freak you out in the meanwhile,especially Ted Stroehmann(Ben Stiller), the final winner of this loving competition,once was Mary's high school classmate,but since the funny accident happened before the graduation party,they lost contact for dozens of years,and then,following some interesting story happened on Mary.By and large,the subject appears to catch and suit the audience's appetite.A funny love story.rating(6/10)
Im Juli (2000)
Another wonderful Romance
A romantic story happened in July,about a girl named also July,seeking his love towards Daniel Bannier(Moritz Bleibtreu) who was a school teacher and get the feeling at the first sight.July sold her strange ring to Daniel in order praying for a love and blessing herself falling in love with Daniel.
Each of us has the expectation on a romantic story could actually occurs to ourselves,like Daniel and July,even along with sharing the identical experience with the actors.Faith Akin cite a flashback as a beginning to take the audience into the movie,but filled with a little unbelievable coincidence.Daniel is a normal school teacher,but the things changed after met Melek(Idil Üner),who would come back to Turkey soon.Daniel was attracted by her and decided to go to Turkey to meet her again with a strong emotion begun with the destination from Hamburg to Istanbul.July love Daniel very much that makes the reason for becoming his travel accompanier.
Faith Akin reasonably arranged the long story between Daniel and July through the whole episode.We can easily get the conclusion of the Romance pix,both actor being a couple in the end,but the point of this kind of movie is the process,Faith Akin delivers his story by making an unbelievable trip across several borders that helps to pave the way for the couples,that's an another excellent and novel tactic used in the romance movie.I generally accept it.Rating(7/10)
Peter Pan (2003)
True love between the couple,Naivete!!
The gut appears that I get to the childish age.Never never land,a wonderful name for the island,along with lives of the fairy,who can live longer and longer.Peter Pan(Jeremy Sumpter)delivers a romantic feeling with Wendy Darling(Rachel Hurd-Wood),both involved in a battle against their elf enemy Captain Hook(Jason Isaacs),the director care much about the children,who play a key role in this movie,they leave their family,not constrained by their parents,becoming independently,Peter Pan show their ways to get freedom and make them live in their own space.
Another factor making me interested in is that the special relationship between Peter Pan and Wendy Darling,which stays in the infant of the love age.Both are curious of the love.In a word, the subject and topic is relatively moving as well as romantic in my preference.We may share the common feeling after you finish watching this,worth seeing!!rating(6/10)
Equilibrium (2002)
Fighting for the Freedom,sparkle!
Kurt Wimmer deliver us an action and thrill story about a hero cleric Seamus(Dominic Purcell)aiming at bringing the emotion back to the people,fighting for the freedom,overthrow the ruling of the Father(Sean Pertwee) of his unemotional darkness.The spirit of justice and courage clearly penetrate the young cleric,once be employed by Father.
Father preached his world get unemotional,which means you couldn't have some real feeling over someone or something,just living alone in this world,additionally,the one who breaks the law will get severe penalty and become the sense criminal,because that father think that's the only way to avoid any war.Clerics are totally controlled by the father,they are injected some drugs everyday to prevent themselves from the emotion.but gradually,the situation seems to be changing,Sean Pertwee is waked by a dog and a woman,he stopped injecting,he found himself a little guilty of what he has done,he seeking the renascence in the darkness and decided to change it,giving the freedom back to the people.I can tell you the Director is as good as the one of Matrix,the scene and some fighting episodes are brilliant arranged and created by Kurt Wimmer,if you a hot fan of Matrix,touching on the Equilibrium is not a bad choice in a word,after the success of Neo in Matrix,Sean Pertwee is gonna sparkle as well.
The subject of the hero movie is often associated with the freedom,including this one,Equilibrium whose content is a little bit novel,saving people from an unemotional world eventually,imagining how could it happen in a real world?After seeing it you may compare it with Matrix,what's your conclusion?We all like the freedom,don't we?My rating(7/10)
50 First Dates (2004)
never lose it!brilliant and fantastic loving story performed by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore
I didn't touch on the Peter Segal's film before,neither is his hot movie fan,I watched the film by accident.We generally accepted that it's quite difficult to make a romance and love film successfully.Comparably,the subject and content of 50 first dates is a little bit novel than the others,personally speaking.Anyway,though it may not actually happen on ourselves and reality,neither being the guy,Henry Roth(Adam Sandler),I just admire Henry's character towards the love.
You may get a wee confused on the title 50 first dates,and so do I.Hints Given,just imagine how you feel when your lover wakes up next morning and even can't recognize who you are.Yes,that's gonna be horrible or scared?What's your feeling?Definitely,a little bit puzzled,this is about a girl,Lucy(Drew Barrymore),after she suffered a car accident,something wrong happen on the unlucky girl,her memory could only last for a day.Since that,every day is like the day before the accident,which is also his father's birthday.She doing the same thing once a day,get the identical breakfast,always driving her car through the regular lines,painting the room,cooking the cake,celebrating her father's birthday.Until Henry met her,attracted by her in an impulse at the first sight.But he was shocked when Lucy said "who are you" next day just the day before their acquaintance,from this moment,he decides on doing all he could to help Lucy recover and even want get married with her.He got ideas to make Lucy love him everyday,which touching Lucy as well as Lucy's father and his son.I'm stunned to see how stubborn Henry's emotion on Lucy.Their skillful and amazing performance is the point when you watch it.The director tend to show us how meaningful,grand loving story between them.Henry possibly give his career up to care Lucy.Will it really happen in the real life?Hard to imagine.We are expecting the common feelings a romantic love story may happen on ourselves.
The story ended with an expecting episode they got married and sailed with their boat around world,Lucy eventually remember to view the recording each morning which could bring her memory.Love is an eternal topic throughout the world,you may get touched after seeing the film,which provides a beautiful subject,how you can miss it!By the way,the songs in this film are also brilliant,totally matched the film,wonderful combination!!----personal ratio(8/10)
Rounders (1998)
Stars sparkling,worth seeing!!
Edward Norton and Matt Damon are both of my favourite players who simultaneously appeared in the story.The movie started out smoothly with a man called Mike McDermott(Matt Damon)who was a veteran in the gambling table,lost nearly all his money one night.Though his craft was exceptional we can see from the start,he failed this time.After a heavy hitting Mike McDermott promised his girlfriend Jo(Gretchen Mol) come back to the track,starting his normal student life,unfortunately,his buddy Lester 'Worm' Murphy(Edward Norton)was just released from the prison and soon he wanna reback to the gambling,keeping borrowing money from his formal partner,tempting to persuade Mike McDermott to run risk in gambling again,but getting refused.
Worm decided to work lonely and soon deeply involved in the jeu,after losing nearly 150000 dollars,he got heavily troubles and hided in the regular spot,Mike McDermott tried to help his buddy out of difficulties and eventually rolled in the work with Worm.
Jo made his mind to break up with Mike McDermott for his renege.Mike McDermott remained gambling desperately.Both of them started out successfully and smoothly,and an accident nearly dashed their dreams.
McDermott did not give up and got his final shot with the help of the his professor,beat the Russian.A new life was waiting him.
I really admire the wonderful acting of both stars,especially Matt Damon's unbelievable maturity in this movie.We are expecting their great performance to sharpen audience's appetite.
Signs (2002)
Extraterrestrial,Hostility or Amity?
The story is about the Hess's extraordinary occurrence.They were disturbed by some unknown life.They found their fields showing some mysterious circles originally,even they can receive some strange signals for some time accidentally and upsets followed by.They want to find the reasons,however,the strangers once paid a visit to the hess's,the noise shock the Hess brother.To their surprise,the speed of the visitors are far beyond what Hess's brothers expected.They felt a little bit dizzy,terrified.What are these creatures?What do they illustrate through these signs?
The subject has been a hot topic for a long time,covers and news about the UFOs seems to be regular.But for this movie,what M. Night Shyamalan tries to tell us?Are they hostile?Maybe our planet will be attacked some day.People are worry about this.On the contrary,M. Night Shyamalan show us the other side.The Extraterrestrial eventually save the boy's life,that's amazing.Obviously,M. Night Shyamalan tempts to change the people's mind on the extraterrestrial,that's the point.
There are some other movies like X-Files or Taken touching on the extraterrestrial.All those movies are trying to unveil the mystery,the movies are very fantastic and brilliant.I really like to see,but the topic remains controversial.Do those unknown life exist?Hostility or Amity? That's what we gonna explore!
Super Size Me (2004)
The Corporation Chain
The healthy problem is the main concern throughout the world,I really appreciate Morgan Spurlock have the courage to take an extremely dangerous test.No wonder there are more fat guys in U.S.After I viewed this movie I knew a quite a lot why the Mc Donald was welcomed by a lot of people especially the kids,and now they are getting fatter and fatter.
Why the super Hamburgs and such super food are so popular,even a man can eat dozens of hamburgs consecutively in one day?Here comes up the problem.I found the fast food company put a lot of money on the advertisement.You may not pay more attention to some adv. which once comes a day,but what if it shows dozens of times during a day,what do you think about it?You can't deny most kids like TV show,especially the cartoons,accordingly,it gives a lot of space to some big fast food corporations.You may get the direct answers now why they are familiar with Uncle Donald.
Another factor is that Mc Donald has a large chain shops in the global.You can even found its sign in a hospital,absolutely,it's convenient,and then it becomes a habit for someone gradually.As to the nutrition it contains,I think it does exist some ingredient may lead to the fat.And I really like to hear the song of the end,that's great,additionally.
The more money they spend in the adv.,the more they may get the payment,That's it!!A regular rule in the commerce.
The Punisher (2004)
Nothing special except the scene
A heroic man this film is presenting,after losing his family, Castle,played by (Thomas Jane) making his decision to become the punisher.The whole story is extending by him who used to be a cop and killed Saint¡¯s son in an action,then Saint take all Castle¡¯s family as a revenge, nearly killed Castle.Yes,surely our hero is survived after being hit by a couples of bullets,really amazing,can¡¯t believe it!!
The climax comes up followed by Castle¡¯s brightness.We do get some terrific moments through the whole story,filled with the bombs and horrible,bloody close-up as most Action films do.This movie also revealed some awful and illegal trade,weapon smuggle.After seeing this film,I got a feeling that the police are idiot.I may think you will totally agree with me,anyway it¡¯s just a film,what we expect is the attracting subject and content.The film is just talking about the punisher who is endowed with a special power and strength,nothing else.But it¡¯s a big producing especially the scene and some advanced weapons which you will never seen in other normal movies.Not bad,it worth seeing,that¡¯s it.
The Terminal (2004)
Life is nothing but waiting,waiting means we are supposed to do something
Thanks to the director Steven Spielberg who delivered a very touching life subject which is one of my favourites.Because Viktor Navorski's country is during a war.So Viktor Navorski is denied for the access to the United States,he can do nothing but waiting,Waiting for the peace of his country.He was penniless and told to be stay at the Flight center where he finally found his "home" Gate 67.Everybody working nearby rejected him at first,he is not welcomed.The flight chief had tried some ways to deport Viktor Navorski,but he always failed,because the strange guy has learned how to survive in where he lives.Viktor Navorski helped a lot of people there,even helping his friend get married.He ever found a job because of his wonderful craft.He is gradually accepted by the peoples around him.He met a girl who was dumped for several times and commuting the airport who got somewhat lost once,Viktor Navorski try to comfort and found himself be in love with the girl.Amelia Warren was moved after Viktor Navorski told her why he came here,and offer him a help which is a day's visa to the United Stated to fulfil Viktor Navorski's dream helping his passed father collected the final signature of his favourate band in US.He got it at last,I feel what the director try to deliver us is the human instinction towards his goal,the stubbornness will,terminal is both an end and a new life starting.We may hit some frustrations throughout our life,like Viktor Navorski.He did what he could to come to a strange country to fulfil his dream.What about you ,guy?Just waiting?
