My all adventure movie list

This film is described in the advertisement as 'the ultimate adventure' which in a sense is true as it is hard to see how anyone could improve upon it. When Jones was attacked by tarantulas, suspended above an abyss, surrounded by cannibals--a little existentialism--that man is not defined by his actions, he is replaced by them.
Although set in 1936, the time is immaterial as it is everywhere and nowhere. The Americans and the Nazis are fighting for the possession of the Lost Ark, hidden for 3,000 years and now recovered. The theme is about man wishes to return to his lost intimacy with God, to recover his inheritance. Yet only the innocent can bear the light which will then be revealed. Played by Harrison Ford, he specializes in every movement, every facial gestures that would be expected of him. The important thing about his character is that we know it's not real.
Raiders of the Lost Ark moves from Peru to America to Nepal to Egypt with all the adventures--it is intensely watchable, with the accumulation of effects used for the purpose of eliciting suspense rather than provoking comedy.

Be inspired, persecuted and be saved.

Want to be a war correspondent in the future? Then see this one for a bit of orientation experience.

Real feminist story with women exemplified in what is almost exclusively male terrain of a road movie. Sexual politics, alongside automotive fetishism is portrayed. This film makes me a real macho 'man' myself.

A lot of movies before ET showed extra-terrestrial as bad guys, but this film suggests alien creatures might not be so different to you and me.

Spielberg's ET dies before our eyes but is reborn through alien magic and a boy's love. Incredible friendship!

Documentary and history rolled into one.

A very heartwarming story. The struggles of Israelites from Egyptians 'retold' in a similar fashion with the Jews during World War 11. The parallelism is almost the same, and the only diference is TIME.

Fight for your freedom and from the oppressor of your culture and heritage. Your own freedom and liberty are worth more than anything else.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is set in 1957. This time, the adversaries of Jones and his sidekicks are Russians, not Nazis. Dr. Jones is still teaching archaeology at Marshall College, but 19 years older.


As the film opens, Indy Jones (Ford) has been kidnapped, beaten and shoved in the trunk of a car which rolls up to Area 51, where his Russki captors are after a mysterious box stenciled 'Roswell 1947.'


In the 19 years since Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, many ideas have floated. But after such a long time in the making, the question needs to be addressed: do we need another Indiana Jones film? As it has been so long, how will the character fit into today's cinematic world?


That said, some scenes of the latest flick, recall the heydey of the series and are positively thriling too--a car chase in the jungle, for instance, is absolutely ridiculous but wonderfully funny, and there's a cute little chase scene in Indy's college. It all builds to a conclusion that's like a carbon-copy of the end of Raiders, where everything falls to bits. The baddies get a face-melting and weird something gets a chance to show its full destructive power. But then again, it's only ever going to end one way.


Cast-wise, my lovely Cate Blanchett is interesting as KGB boss Spalko. Yet the odd thing is that she's not presented as the kind of hated evildoer that inhabited the earlier films. She's actually, in a weird way, kind of sympathetic, driven as she is, by a thirst for knowledge.


And Ford himself? Well, he's in better shape than he's been in for years, but in some of the more whip-swinging scenes-it's obvious it's not actually him. However, he's still Indy. He still pulls off the three classic Indy expressions--righteous indignation, grim teeth-gritting, with style.


It doesn't quite live up to the original trilogy--but it's fun catching up with Mr. Jones once again.

Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen and Jack Black are in this film together, and perhaps someone would have imagined something more of their specialty areas, namely: sex, drugs and rock n roll rather than the animated PG offering of this flick.

Black plays Po, a clumsy panda noodle chef who fantasises about being a Kung Fu fighter with the furious Five, Tigress (Jolie), Viper (Lui), Mantis (rogen), Crane (Cross) and Monkey (Chan).

When fate shines a light on Po and he is named the Dragon Warrior--the only one who can defeat the dreaded Tai Ling (Ian McShane)--he must decide whether it really is his destiny or a perilous suicide mission.

As far as the storyline of this movie, I guess you get pretty much what you'd expect from the storyline--a morality tale about inner-strength and the uniqueness of you. The film combines the best aspects of animation, like the ability to depict scenes that would be unfilmable in live action, with a big cinematic feel of an epic martial arts movie.

The script is also decent. On one level it's laconic, like many kung fu films, with the exception of Black's comedic interludes. Certainly there's anecdotal twist and turns in this film, and I'm still grinning.

Inspired by the question 'Where in the world is Osama bin Laden? Morgan Spurlock's hunt for the world's most elusive terrorist is quite a different take on the Middle East. Spurlock decides to go in pursuit of the infamous fugitive to find out what makes him tick. The journey takes him through Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Morocco and Jordan where he saught out people in the street.

In this film, Spurlock mixed with muslims during Ramadan, talked to people in their homes, in the slums of Morocco or a mosque in Jordan. It's a quest, and albeit he didn't exactly find his quarry, his intentions in the Middle East are admirable. He wanted to make a film that would breakdown the stereotypes of Muslims perpetuated by the American media, and in turn show Muslims that Americans are not all bad.

His expedition is also punctuated by telephone conversations with his wife Alexandra, as well as scenes of her in New York coping with her pregnancy and the worries about his safety.

This documentary also combines animation, adventure and comedy to produce a well balanced and thought provoking portrayal of the geopolitical relations between the Middle East and the West. It's powerful and effective in providing a three-dimensional, humanized insight into the thoughts, emotions and culture of the Middle East which strays from the mainstream media.
