  The Constant Gardener

  by Alexander

  ''Leave this Justin. Go home.''
  
  ''I can't go home. Tessa was my home. ''
  
  A widower is determined to get to the bottom of a potentially explosive secret involving his wife's murder, big business, and corporate corruption.
  
  Ralph Fiennes: Justin Quayle
  
  Rachel Weisz: Tessa Quayle
  
  Powerful, emotional and political Constant Gardner is hard for me to watch due to it's material yet i couldn't look away. It had me crying and hurting inside and all from the journey of one man trying desperately to find an answer to his wife's demise. I mean it's a nightmare and a love story that sadly is severed but you still feel through flashbacks that there is a connection.
  
  Brilliant acting from its two lead roles Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes, two of the best of my heart and this country.
  Ralph's performance and accent as Justin is top standards while Weisz as Tessa shines like she did in Fountain and shows a performance worthy of the Oscar she plucked from her emotionally charged portrayal told sadly but effectively in past tense.
  The romantic portion of the film was immortalized by the two characters Justin and Tessa, (Ralph & Rachel). Their first meeting was dynamically presented as Tessa was a social activist heckling Justin as he was making a political speech. When the hall was cleared, however, it was Justin who was actually comforting Tessa after her outburst. The juxtaposition of the placid, passive Justin versus the fervent, hyper-kinetic Tessa was brilliantly established in that opening scene.
  
  The strands of thriller and social realism are inextricably tied together in the film. As a whodunit, The Constant Gardener seeks to uncover what actually happened to Justin and Tessa on their African journey. At the same time, the main culprit that emerges is the heavy hand of greed as the pharmaceutical companies exploit helpless victims of tuberculosis for the purpose of testing and marketing an experimental drug. At one point in the film, it is disclosed to Justin that the pharmaceutical industry is no different than arms dealers.
  
  This film truly rewards its audience as it works on so many levels. Like Crash you won't be able to stop pondering over every thing you've just seen. The politics here are engaging and bound to stir up even the most complacent viewer. What's even more amazing is that all of the timely political discourse and subsequent thriller aspects of the film,courtesy of the source material, John Le Carre's novel, are wrapped up in an immortal romance. We the audience join Fiennes on his journey across Africa, and we rediscover the love story between he and his wife that ties the film in a poetic realism usually reserved for movies with much less on their minds.
  
  To top it off, it's all delivered in the maddeningly genius Meirelles style that took critics and audiences by storm in his debut masterpiece City of God. We have the shaky hand-held camera darting through vibrant and colorful third-world locales juxtaposed with jaw-droppingly gorgeous aerial photography of Africa in all its glory. Meirelles again shows us he is a true artist and visionary willing to show both the shocking beauty and abject horror of the people and places that populate his films. Again he delivers a message that people are doing horrible things to each other, everywhere.
  
  With City of God he seemed to be saying the only hope is to document and record it. The Constant Gardener makes that argument again and takes it one brilliant step forward. We may not be able to stop a war or a huge global injustice, but we do have the power to help one person at a time. It takes a courageous film to make such a statement, and a brilliant film-maker to deliver it, and that's just what The Constant Gardener achieves.
  
  Fine performances that reside in Constant Gardner not only come from it's two leads but come from Bill Nighy who manages not to be funny, Danny Houston who's in loads of good films recently, and Hubert Kounde who proves it's the quiet ones you got to watch.
  
  Constant Gardner hurts to watch, performances yes it's five stars, but i think it's a movie that is all to real, and for me that hits to close to the mark, to life.
  Losing a loved one is a very hard thing for me and to watch another man go through that, it hurts so much and sets me off, until I'm a quivering mess.
  
  The hopelessness, the injustice and that sometimes your enemy, the ones you were fighting are right back at home. In this regard CG is very clever and it's message hits home with a bitter aftertaste and a sharp pain tearing point.
  
  Don't think i could watch this too often due to its realistic and then rather sad finish but it's a masterpiece nonetheless.
  
  Like that last gun shot and blackness, Constant Gardner has one shot, and by heck it takes it!

  ALEXIS2132

  Don't like watching this too often but I think it was necessary in light of being necessary.
  
  A Masterful film from the man who made City Of God.
  
  Ralph Fiennes & Rachel Weisz are incredible.
  
  Love never dies. It lives on inside us, that's the magic of Constant Gardner.
  
  Sorry for going on and on,
  
  Have a good weekend friends :) !

  Nothing to riveting here to be quite honest, but its an enjoyable film if you like romantic comedies. I did enjoy this film and usually Zellweger gets on my nerves pretty quickly but shes so perfect for this period in time and actually has good chemistry with Clooney.

  The Dark Knight

  by Alexander

  

  ''You just couldn't let me go could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you, because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.''

  Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.

  Christian Bale: Bruce Wayne / Batman

  Heath Ledger: The Joker

  The Dark Knight basically begins from where Batman Begins left us last time. Things have changed and a new maniacal nemesis is at large. Cleverly we are instantly thrown into a ensuing bank robbery with some sharp modern music. The first segments of Dark Knight already firmly establish this is going to be a piece of unrivaled greatness.

  When we get onto Batman and his antics we find that he has been imitated by others and his old friend Scarecrow is still up to no good, with shifty dealings. What follows are some brilliant action pieces blended with superb acting, with Actors of class under Nolan's direction being used to perfection.

  Christian Bale as the dual identity Bruce & Batman, really shows us he's settled into the role. Giving a deep growling Batman with beast like grating tones and a seemingly unlimited strength and fury. As Bruce Wayne, on the outside to Gotham he's still that rich, complacent playboy who's living the life of luxury and at the same time burdening responsibilities and dark secrets.

  Maggie Gyllenhall as Rachel Dawes was for me one of the disappointments of Dark Knight. I'm sorry but she may be a fine actress but she just wasn't attractive enough, her acting isn't question, it was alright, hardly memorable. I reckon they should of stayed with Katie Holmes for this sequel, for then even the people that didn't like her in the role would be happy, considering the outcome at least. I on the one hand wasn't phased when push came to shove and said character was gone from play, in my mind she did start to slow down the film.

  Now Heath Ledger playing Joker, what can I say? Partly the huge success and interest has been due to this great Actor's performance being witnessed. After all this is Heath's last film he finished. Going on to his performance as Joker I have to say he is perfection, everytime he's on screen he's mesmerizing, every little thing he does which ranges from the sick depraved to the downright mad. Heath Ledger was a chameleon, a method actor, who had the ability to change, to shape himself into any part he played. Dark Knight is one of the finest examples of this, truly blasting Jack Nicholson's version apart and I guarantee an Oscar for him, or for his memory and in honour of this talent. I loved how immersed Heath had become in the Joker even giving us details to how his face had gotten into it's current state and his abusive childhood and father. Whenever we have a villain there is always a reason to how he got to that point and Nolan uses Heath to get this across effortlessly.
  Joker never seized to make me laugh in appreciation despite what could be considered sick antics, I considered genius.
  Who else could do a pen trick with someone's head? Dress as a nurse with a silencer in hand and his clownish face glistening? Hide in a body-bag to infiltrate a mob boss's joint? Who else could immortalize Batman's most famous nemesis Joker? Without a doubt Heath Ledger bar none.

  Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two Face was a really interesting character. He played this politician extremely well, with all his good intentions and honourable ways, Harvey hides a dark side too. References to his coin are used regularly and help us understand the reasons for his later fascination with chance and luck deciding fate. I think Harvey Dent was covered nicely in this, getting across the whole growing hate he supposedly receives from Batman after he saves him and unfortunately Rachel isn't so lucky. Two-face, Harvey's alter-ego to my mind wasn't really that developed which is understandable given the amount of detail here to cram in and what with the Joker unleashed Nolan still does a top notch job. The effects on his face were breath-taking although I was starting to worry that Dark Knight maybe becoming unrealistic and veering towards more cartoony details in it's villains. But same with Batman Begins the Scarecrow was slightly more comic like and I found the whole realism in both Begins and Dark Knight to be a major achievement to me.

  Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon really excelled in his role this time. Not only does Gordon have more to do but he's in this awesome trio of Harvey, Bats and himself working together to save and help Gotham. I'm really pleased Gary Oldman & Heath Ledger got to do a scene together too, not to mention Bale too. The chemistry they all share and the talent rocketed through anything and everything. Nolan cleverly keeps the aspect of Gordon's family being important to him and later we remember this, and it helps us relate to his character when things unravel.

  Morgan Freeman & Michael Caine seem to have less to do this time round. With Caine taking most of the first half of the movie while Freeman takes the 2nd half to his chest.

  The Dark Knight was everything I expected it to be and it's certainly the dark masterpiece I predicted, but I do get the feeling that it's been overly hyped for what it consists of. See it not just for Heath's performance which is a defining and immortalized, but also see it because Dark Knight is the greatest comic book/graphic novel to movie ever. DC comics & Warner Bros. must be beaming right now with this piece of gold.

  Dark Knight really does have the last laugh. An astonishing achievement that really does follow up a masterpiece. Let's face it, a sequel is coming, without the need to get Two-Face to call it for us, we know it's coming Nolan.

  Perfection.

  

  ALEXIS2132

  Heath Ledger is getting an Oscar in his memory for this! What a performance!! Dark Knight truly is the shining beacon of DC and the best Batman yet.
  
  Christian Bale was an angry beast of a Batman once again while Aaron Eckhart & Gary Oldman give star quality acting.
  
  Maggie Gyllenhall only did one thing right.
  (So unattractive, seriously...-sigh-)
  
  Besides that hiccup...Masterpiece!

  Barry Lyndon

  by Alexander

  ''Gentlemen may talk of the age of chivalry, but remember the ploughmen, poachers and pickpockets whom they lead. It is with these sad instruments that your great warriors and kings have been doing their murderous work in the world. ''
  
  An Irish rogue wins the heart of a rich widow and assumes her dead husband's position in 18th Century aristocracy.
  
  Ryan O'Neal: Barry Lyndon
  
  Barry Lyndon is sometimes considered a slow and tedious film, it is indeed past three hours in length, but this due mainly to the fact of the artistic flow of a film that strays not only to tell a story about a man who is by no means neither hero nor villain, but also one in which is in no real rush, taking the time for every tiny intricacy to sink into the mind and heart of the viewer, we the audience are left to marvel at the storytelling.
  
  Some of the scenic images in Barry Lyndon are in themselves works of splendid art, rendered with a passion for the landscapes and the man-made structures within them. Stanley Kubrick makes it clear his appreciation for the era through the use of paintings, costumes and all of the above in perfect harmonic glory.
  
  The myth that came about that all scenes were done using no artificial lighting stems from the very realistic lights during indoor takes, and some of them truly did not feature artificial light. This is but one of the many details that so easily conveys a sense of a realistic portray of the era, the 18th century and the time after the seven-year war in the later half of the Lyndon.
  
  The impressive atmosphere and the wonderfully picturesque scenarios along with the fact that the entire plot moves at a calm pace makes this film a very pleasant experience.
  The music bordering on Kubrick genius in which it actually becomes memorable long after Barry Lyndon has finished. Especially the piece of music played throughout, which also features on the credits. Also liked the piece of music accompanying, where Barry first kisses Lady Lyndon.
  
  Ryan O'Neal as Barry Lyndon does an excellent job of portraying the unlucky man, marvelous how this individual chooses some of the courses that run through his life. Firstly his infatuation for his female cousin's affection which results in him getting sent away to him signing up to the English army. Then a twist of fate of him becoming enlisted in the Prussian Army. All resulting in his eventual meeting of Lady Lyndon, where even more trouble and drama ensues.
  Marisa Berenson as Lady Lyndon really flourishes her part with beauty and elegance and later on with emotionally charged desperation as the film progresses and her husband's wild ways become apparent.
  
  Barry Lyndon may be long, but on DVD it shines perfectly. Afterall thats what the intermission is for half way. Kubrick knows if he's going to do a theatrical film of William Makepeace Thackeray's novel he's going to need a substantial amount of material. Material which is crammed full of flavor, of passionate drama and of period perfection.
  
  Barry Lyndon is another grand accomplishment from the late Kubrick. A masterpiece and an interesting study.

  ALEXIS2132

  A fine adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray's Novel as well as an interesting study of the period.
  
  Costumes and music, perfect and effortless as is the cinematography. Kubrick is clever enough to make a tune stay in your head long after the film has concluded.
  
  Masterful work.

  Kung Fu Panda

  by Alexander

  ''It is said that the Dragon Warrior can go for months without eating, surviving on the dew of a single ginko leaf and the energy of the universe.''
  
  ''Then I guess my body doesn't know I'm the Dragon Warrior yet. It's gonna take a lot more than dew, and, uh, universe juice.''
  
  Po the Panda is the laziest animals in all of the Valley of Peace, but unwittingly becomes the chosen one when enemies threaten their way of life.
  
  Jack Black: Po (voice)
  
  Kung Fu Panda unsurprisingly was birthed by the wondrous Dreamwork people, for a start the animation and story are untouchable in quality executed to the highest standard.
  
  We are told the story of a slightly overweight Panda whom has duties with his father in a Noodle restaurant. Panda dreams of becoming a great Kung Fu master while at the same time trying to please his father by saying his dream is comprised of taking over the Noodle heritage of his father. Yes you may have noticed ''his'' father per say, lacks resemblance or species to Panda funnily enough. When a choosing of the Dragon Master comes about. Panda rushes to see this tournament. What transpires next is him unwittingly getting chosen by Oogway, the Old Turtle Master.
  
  Kung Fu Panda has such effortlessly smooth paced animation that fluidly speeds along at all times we the audience, scarcely get to notice the amount of work thats gone into every frame. Especially the action scenes which seem to thunder along in a dazzling array of splendor.
  
  The voices are incredibly done and some I didn't even recognise. Notably Dustin Hoffman voicing Shifu, was superb, his voice instantly recognizable.
  Jack Black as Panda excellent providing laughs, charm and charisma throughout as the main star of the film.
  Other iconic voices are from a dazzling selection of actors and actresses such as Angelina Jolie voicing Tigress, Ian McShane as Tai Lung, Jackie Chan as Monkey, Seth Rogen as Mantis, Lucy Liu as Viper and even Michael Clarke Duncan as Commander Vachir pops up.
  James Hong voicing Mr. Ping was instantly recognisable by ear, the actor from Golden Child & Big Trouble In Little China. Amusing how they made that of the bird character he plays to match a certain element of him from real life in the animation.
  
  Loved how Kung Fu Panda begins with the drawing styled animation, then all the way through I was amazed how detailed Panda is on the whole capturing action, suspense and excitement mixed with comical fun and laughs galore.
  
  Along with the masterpiece that is WALL-E, this offering from Dreamworks Kung Fu Panda shows that Pixar aren't the only ones with talent. A story with heart, of wonderment and of humour, Kung Fu Panda comes recommended to any lover of animated films.

  ALEXIS2132

  Brilliant piece of Animated Class from Dreamworks.
  
  If you want a solid, smoothly animated film with plenty of laughs, give kung Fu Panda a go!
  
  Fast paced and fun.

  The Dark Knight

  by Dominique

  Plot: Batman and Gordon find alliance with a newly appointed DA Harvey Dent to stop a vicious killer with a warped sense of humor known only as The Joker, a threat to both the good, and the evil of Gotham City.

  

  Flixster - Share Movies

  Verdict
  In reality, the film has brought in $158.3 million, creating an even bigger gap between itself and "Spider-Man 3," which was the previous record-holder at $151.1 million back in May 2007.
  My freaking god. The Summer movie of the year and of the decade. And the figures talkes for themself. 158 million for a movie is unbelievable.If the dead of Heath Ledger contribute to this success, i say YES. His performance is Oscar worthy. I will start my review.
  -----------
  Directing
  Christopher Nolan collaboration with Wally Pfister is so freaking good. The shots of the buildings, The batman flying of the buildings and how the camera moves. They both deserve a prize for best directing and best director of photography. I'm speechless!!! Christopher Nolan is my favorite director right now!!!
  Acting
  All credits of acting goes to Heath Ledger. His potrayal of the joker is so dark, psychopatic and funny. His mimic, his way of walking is freaking scary. i got goosebumps. Aaron Eckhart as Harvery Dent is so convincing and flawless, but when he becomes two face it will blow you away. Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes is way much better than the stupid Katie Holmes. Also a strong performance. Christian Bale is an excellent Batman. Strong and also vulnerable. Great supporting roles by Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy and Morgan Freeman.
  Sound score
  If you see this movie in the IMAX. The sound is so clear and loud. The sound effects are so earblowing. i'm still deaf.
  Oscars
  It is got my nomination:
  Best Movie
  Best Directing - Christoper Nolan
  Best Actor in a leading role - Heath Ledger
  Best Actor in a supporing role - Aaron Eckhart
  Best Adapted Screenplay - Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan
  Best director of photography - Wally Pfister
  Best art direction and set decoration
  Best sound and music score
  Best Make up

  Mamma Mia!

  by Alexander

  ''Typical you wait 20 years for a father and then three show up at once.''
  
  The story of a bride-to-be trying to find her real father. All together now for ABBA!
  
  
  Amanda Seyfried: Sophie
  
  Mamma Mia is a vibrant bursting with energy musical about one girls wish to find her father, upon reading her mother's diary she finds that there are three possibilities.
  
  Utilizing songs from Abba this Mamma Mia stops being a film and becomes more of an experience where the audience is involved and the songs so well known you feel like singing along, I know I certainly was and I'm not even a fan of Abba. Very universal winning over fans of the musical and newcomers alike.
  
  Stellan Skarsgård as Bill, Pierce Brosnan as Sam Carmichael and Colin Firth as Harry Bright all play the potential fathers to Sophie and re-spark Donna's lively fun past.
  What transpires are musical madness and romance, as well as comedy and Meryl Streep as Donna really steals the show.
  She's a fine actress who shows she can sing and dance besides achieve incredible depth in her acting abilities.
  
  Pierce Brosnan's singing was not bad but I have to admit I did find it amusing st first at how deep his voice is. Kept thinking of Jonathan Ross saying to Meryl Streep he can't sing. Very amusing, may be some truth there but he does a good effort regardless and as the movie progress you warm to him as with all the characters.
  Amanda Seyfried playing Sophie was absolutely gorgeous showing that good things do come with pairs, I mean in pairs. Great voice and stunning to boot.
  Julie Walters as Rosie and Christine Baranski as Tanya provide much of the comic relief throughout the film making us laugh at numerous stages throughout.
  
  Mamma Mia is a lovely tribute to the musical which I didn't know much about, and its convinced me that it may be worth watching. Hell it's fun and catchy, I admit I was sniggering and scoffing to begin with when they started singing but the medium soon adapts as you continue watching, the audience begins to hum and click and pat in rhythm. Up until the credits, which are highly amusing, Mamma Mia retains its magical glow of heart warming musical prowess.
  
  Love, showmanship and a story of friendship are the qualities that flow through Mamma Mia which was highly refreshing as well as dazzling.

  ALEXIS2132

  An energetic musical with a fine cast.
  
  Not a fan of ABBA but the songs are pretty catchy nonetheless.
  
  Very fun.

  WALL-E

  by Alexander

  ''Directive?''
  
  [Wall-E gathers up some trash, compacts it and spits it out.]
  
  ''Ta-da! ''
  
  In the distant future, a small waste collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.
  
  Ben Burtt: WALL-E / M-O (voice)
  
  Elissa Knight: EVE (voice)
  
  WALL-E is without a doubt one of the most accomplished, most well concieved animated films over flowing with story, emotion and will leave you wanting more and more.
  
  It begins even with a short film of a magician and his Bunny Alex which provides plenty of laughs, then it gets onto the film itself. When we are first introduced to Wall-e, you instantly know in your heart you won't be able to resist his cuteness and lovableness. He collects interesting things from the debris and puts them in his home while watching old musicals classics and recording them on his box. What's also fascinating is that he is solar powered and can also recede into box form, so cute.
  
  Earth has become an inhospitable dump, bristling with rubbish and junk. Wall-e's main function is to recycle materials to rebuild the crumbling remnants of humanities cities. Only problem is Wall-e seems to be on his own, last of his kind. Apart from his friend in the form of a cockroach who provides company.
  
  When a space craft lands on this planet Wall-e gets to meet EVA a white robot sent to find something vital on Earth. What we get is some lovely sequences of her following her directive, WALL-E isn't just an animated film, its one of substance and story, and a love story at that.
  
  When later in WALL-E he ends up on a huge spaceship and is swept alongside hundreds of other robots you just have to marvel at the sheer amount of time that has gone into creating this gorgeous animated film. Not only that but references to 2001 and a robot that even looks like Hal and similar behavior marks as one of the best homages an animated film has ever done. Not only that Casablanca also gets a nod with an iconic song.
  
  It will make you laugh, make you cry in places especially near the end, and make you melt from sheer overload of a masterpiece that surely deserves to win an Oscar for Best Animated film.
  WALL-E is perfect and a cheery alternative for this summer, that all the family can appreciate.
  
  The credits I loved which I must mention, and Peter Gabriel's song at the end really added to what was already in my mind perfection. WALL-E concludes like it begins, making you feel good and leaving you breathless.

  ALEXIS2132

  Should win an Oscar for Best Animated film.
  
  Incredibly effective and definitely worth seeing for the Story and the amount of work gone into the Animation.
  
  Now just got to see Dark Knight next week, before all the recommendations drive me mad. Thank you America & Australia people, you're all lucky buggers :D !
