The Dark Knight Rises
Il y a huit ans, Batman a disparu dans la nuit : lui qui était un héros est alors devenu un fugitif. S'accusant de la mort du procureur-adjoint Harvey Dent, le Chevalier Noir a tout sacrifié au nom de ce que le commissaire Gordon et lui-même considéraient être une noble cause. Et leurs actions conjointes se sont avérées efficaces pour un temps puisque la criminalité a été éradiquée à Gotham City grâce à l'arsenal de lois répressif initié par Dent.
Mais c'est un chat ? aux intentions obscures ? aussi rusé que voleur qui va tout bouleverser. À moins que ce ne soit l'arrivée à Gotham de Bane, terroriste masqué, qui compte bien arracher Bruce à l'exil qu'il s'est imposé. Pourtant, même si ce dernier est prêt à endosser de nouveau la cape et le casque du Chevalier Noir, Batman n'est peut-être plus de taille à affronter Bane?

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
There are few roles in which I like
Johnny Depp, but every time he plays an off-beat character, I really
enjoy his performance. The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the
Black Pearl is one such occasion.
Here
Depp stars as Jack Sparrow, the famous pirate captain of the Black
Pearl who was abandoned on an island by his first mate Barbossa
(Geoffrey Rush). Through luck, Jack manages to survive and ends up on
Port Royal in the Caribbean where he encounters an ongoing soap opera
featuring Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightly) the governor's daughter; Will
Turner (Orlando Bloom), the son of a former pirate but taken in by the
governor, and Norrington (Jack Davenport), the commander in charge of
the armed forces on the island who is set to marry the governor's
daughter. Jack not only has to deal with the governor and the commander
who consider him a thieving pirate, but also with Barbossa and his crew
who have now acquired the infamous curse of the Black Pearl.
One
of the best aspects of the film is Depp's walk, which people say I
mimicked when I was in Thailand and handed a drink which I just took a
sip from but made me feel really woozy (there are stories of people
drugging foreigners to take their money but fortunately I was with
friends). It completely dominates the film. There's also a clever, but
predictable, way out of the situation that Jack ends up being thrust in
(namely, how does one kill things that can't die). In general the movie
is characterised by situations where at first Jack appears to be doing
something stupid but in reality is doing something very smart. This
leads to some comic relief.
The
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was a
surprisingly good movie, much better than I expected. I highly recommend
checking it out on the big screen.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
It is extremely difficult, if not
impossible, to translate a book into a movie. The problem has to do with
one's imagination: words in a book conjure up images that are highly
personal and subjective, and any attempt by a third party to lend form
to them ends up disappointing. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is
no exception in this regard, but fortunately, the imagery presented is
awesome and wondrous in its own right.
The
film is made strictly by the book: Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), a
young boy mistreated by his foster family, learns that he is special and
comes of age... in the Hogwart's School of Magic (!) where he learns
wizardry, plays Quidditch and fights an evil despotic wizard (who does
not turn out to be his father).
While
the movie stays fastidiously true to Joanne Rowling's book, perhaps one
of the best adaptations ever, the adage that a picture is worth a
thousand words doesn't hold true here. For the most part, from the
initial victory of the baby Harry Potter upto the Quidditch match, a lot
of the details are skipped. What we're presented with is a jump from
one scene to another (sometimes too quickly) that illustrates with
painstaking effort the magical realm that Rowling has constructed in her
series. For example, while the opening sequence shows Professor Albus
Dumbledore (Richard Harris) turning out the lights in a street,
Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith) changing to her true form from being
a cat, and Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) bringing Harry on his flying
motorcycle, we're not really shown the celebration of Lord Voldemort's
fall. This isn't criticism but just an observation; in fact, I think
doing this is especially okay if one is familiar with the Harry Potter
books, but it does impart a sense of urgency in the beginning portions
of the film.
I
marvelled at how technology enabled the film makers to make possible
the wonders of Harry's world, including Diagon Alley and Gringotts Bank,
the moving pictures, Hogwarts Castle, the Sorting Hat (Leslie
Phillips), the ghosts in the Castle (including a cameo by John Cleese),
Fluffy the three-headed dog, the ugly troll, and so on. I believe that
it is technology that makes the Harry Potter film authentic, in the same
way as in the X-Men or the How the Grinch Stole Christmas movies, by
letting at least the imagination of a few people come to life as
vibrantly as possible. Most of what I imagined and what was projected on
the screen weren't really colinear, but it was still cool, incredibly
so at times, to watch.
The
movie, however, picked up with the first Quidditch match where Harry,
on a broomstick, plays the position of a Seeker after the Golden Snitch,
a particularly hard-to-catch ball, which is key to winning a game. The
inspired depiction of the game meshed with my imagination extremely
well, and from there on, the story of Harry's second encounter with the
dark Lord Voldemort (Richard Bremmer) enfolded in a less fragmented and
more cohesive manner. The final confrontation, and what Harry and his
friends have to do get there, is a delight to watch.
For
those paying attention, the main change from the book has to do with
how Hagrid's dragon is disposed of and the resulting consequences. The
ghosts also play a smaller role here though given the movie's running
time, I'm not surprised parts like those were omitted.
The
actors playing the young leads give decent performances, with Emma
Watson as the know-it-all Hermione Granger standing out. The adult
actors aren't given much time but they all present solid performances.
The score by John Williams is simple but effective. The set design,
cinematography, and visuals are impressive. Director Chris Columbus does
a great job of bringing to the big screen the Enid Blyton-like
atmosphere that Rowling's books exude.
Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a great movie to watch. I viewed it
from the perspective of someone who is intimately familiar with the
books, and I believe there is strong merit to watching it being
completely unfamiliar with the story, a choice I do not have given that
I've read the four books a few times. Definitely check it out on the big
screen and make sure you goto the bathroom before.
The Lord of the Ring
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
is better than its predecessor, and that's a rare occurrence when it
comes to Hollywood films.
The
story begins where the first film left off: Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood)
continues on his quest to Mordor to destroy the powerful ring in the
same fires of Mount Doom from which it was created. Aiding him, directly
and indirectly are, fellow Hobbits Samwise Gamjee (Sean Astin),
Meriadoc Brandybuck (Dominic Monaghan) and Peregrin Took (Billy Boyd);
Gandalf (now) the White (Ian McKellen); Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen);
Legolas Greenleaf the elf (Orlando Bloom); Gimli the Dwarf (John
Rhys-Davies); and Treebeard the Ent (voice of John Rhys-Davies). Against
him are Saruman the White (Christopher Lee) and Sauron the Dark Lord,
whose spirit is intertwined with the ring. And a creature whose
intentions are ambiguous (quite literally) is Smeagol/Gollum (voiced by
Andy Serkis).
The
main goal of this episode is to showcase the unleashing of the
Saruman's forces to conquer middle earth. The movie actually ends on a
positive note, with our friends having the upper hand in the two epic
battles--between Saruman's 10,000 strong army and the inhabitants of the
Kingdom of Rohan at their Helm's Deep fortress; and between the Ents
and Sarmuan's war machine in Isengard--as well as several minor ones.
The
cinematography, along with the computer graphics, is awe-inspiring.
Gollum is animated brilliantly, so much that I thought he was more
convincing than any of the real actors. The CGI in general is
state-of-the-art; the only time I could clearly discern the computer
generated images was when they had the battle with the Wargs, There is a
lot of humour in the film, which shows that nothing in life is worth
taking too seriously. The soundtrack, which is reminiscent of old
Westerns, is excellent.
It's
hard to fault a film that is as well-made as this one. In my view, The
Two Towers is best judged on its own merits. While it would help to be
familiar with Tolkien's works (including The Hobbit, which really fills
in a great deal of the background material), this tale can stand on its
own if you use your imagination.
The
reason Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek, are such big successes is
because of the mythology they create. The Lord of the Rings, which
predates these works, is no exception and is one of the richest. The
film itself can be described only in superlatives. Go see it.
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
“Kung Fu Panda” is the story of a fat
(is there any other kind?) panda that dreams about being an awesome kung
fu warrior, and when given the chance, rises to the occasion.
In-between those moments, we get plenty of fat jokes at the panda’s
expense, and enough cartoon kung fu violence to, possibly, convince
parents this may not be the right movie to be taking your very
impressionable kids. Especially if said kids have a bad habit of using
little sis as a punching dummy to try out his new “moves”.
The
above said, Dreamworks’ “Kung Fu Panda” is a fun little movie, although
“little” may be a bit of an exaggeration. Take a look at the voice
cast: Jack Black as Po the panda, Angelina Jolie as Tigress, Jackie Chan
as Monkey, Dustin Hoffman as Shifu, and of course, the always
incredible Ian McShane (of Deadwood fame) as the villainous Tai Lung.
Which reminds me: I was never really sure why Tai Lung was supposed to
be such a villain; as far as I can tell, his only qualification for the
mantle is that he’s really good at kung fu, and he really, really wants
that kung fu scroll that, when read, will endow the reader with
incredible kung fu mastery. But to hear the movie talk about him, you
would think the guy went around eating babies or some such.
Jurassic Park 2
Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World is
essentially a rehash of the original. Man messes with nature. Things go
wrong. People get eaten. The major difference is in the last part which
is quite sophomoric and not at all fitting of Steven Spielberg.
It
is four years after the horrific disaster that happened at Jurassic
Park. Again, we meet the good doctor, John Hammond (Richard
Attenborough), no longer at the head of his company but still pulling a
few strings behind the back of his son, Peter (Arliss Howard). The
original base camp of operations set up by Hammond on Isla Sorna, Site
B, still exists and there are living colonies of dinosaurs there.
Hammond, who has gone from capitalist to naturalist, wants to observe
the creatures in their natural habitat and put to rest years of
speculation about the lives of the great animals.
Dr.
Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) is asked to come on board the team sent to
scout the island where the dinosaurs live. He refuses until he learns
that his girlfriend, paleontologist Dr. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore)
is already alone on the island. He then becomes part of a rescue mission
including himself, photographer Nick Van Owen (Vince Vaughn), equipment
specialist Eddie Carr (Richard Schiff), and his daughter Kelly Curtis
(Vanessa Lee Chester) who stowed away in the back of the van.
Besides
the animals who would like to have humans for din-din, Malcolm's team
has to cope with Peter Hammond and Roland Tembo (Pete Postlethwaite).
Tembo's goal is to kill a Tyrannosaurus Rex to prove man is the greatest
hunter. Peter wants to capture the animals and bring them to the
mainland to create "Jurassic Park, San Diego". Bad idea.
Spielberg
and company, clearly realising they had a winning formula the last time
around, don't deviate very much from it. By the time the Tyrannosaurus
Rex gets to San Diego, I couldn't help but thinking I had just seen
Jurassic Park again.
What
is missing in this movie compared to the original is the intellectual
aspect. There's no talk of chaos, no background about how the animals
were bred and raised, no delving into evolution about how the animals
could overcome their lysine deficiency, and no "this is Unix, I know
this stuff!" Viewers are simply expected to have this knowledge, and
this means more time for bone crunching effects. As a result, we have a
movie that is darker and gorier than the original.
The
movie is entertaining and has some interesting messages about cruelty
to animals and leaving nature alone to do as it will. See it for the
matinee price but don't spend the big bucks on this one.
The Taking of Pelham 123
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 Is a New
thriller starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta directed by Tony
Scott shot in the subways of New York City. The story starts as a man
who calls himself "Ryder," (John Travolta) leads a band of thugs as they
highjack a subway train and MTA dispatcher Walter Garber (Denzel
Washington) who is Reluctantly forced to be the Lead negotiator.
movie review The Taking of Pelham 123
This
Film is a remake of a 1974 movie of the same name and reworked to meet a
new audience. With modern dialog and cell phones, laptop computers and
of course the fact that 911 effects the city still, this film was a
really fast pace based roughly on the old plot. There are some wild
scenes in this movie of New York City as the Mayor, (James Gandolfini)
agrees to pay a $10 million ransom and they try to get the money across
the city to the subway station. If nothing else is worth the price of
admission to see James Gandolfini, Tony Soprano as mayor of New York
it’s so cool. Denzel Washington and John Travolta work wel together and
their voices are what id cool to have to big name actors in a dialog
driven story about two characters that interact over a radio on the
subway car. This film was made for a younger audience and I think that
those are ones that do go to the movies regularly.
I
think my fellow Critics just didn’t get that part of the puzzle, that
this film was made with the 17-27ish age group in mind, so it’s fast
cuts and rough, realistic dialog. What would a career family man with a
Wife and kids and an ex-con straight out of prison talk like, what
would the banter be? I think the writers nailed it dead on and the two
main actors and Gandolfini included deliver the lines flawlessly. Also,
the fact that this film has scenes filmed on the streets of New York to
would in my opinion must have been a logistical nightmare and an
undertaking that is in itself a commendable feat. This film also has
some great editing and that’s often overlooked, editor Chris Lebenzon
stitches together a compelling series of images that suck you in, and
work well with the Music by Harry Gregson-Williams. This is a good film,
not a great film and it overcomes a story that is antiquated, and turns
it into a new and improved version that is engaging to watch.
