Reviews

Fight club is directed by one of my favorite film directors David Fincher. The film based on the novel written by Chuck Palahniuk. I absolutely adore this film for its philosophy. It's one of those films that I happen to watch once a year. It's close to me and motivates me in my life.

Let's get something off first, people whom never seen Fight Club get mistaken to what this film is all about. To those who never seen Fight Club, This is not a movie about guys pounding each other up until there is a winner. No, Fight Club is essentially about particular and Cultural Revolution inside a corporate consumer civilization that abolishes the humanoid life. The film stars, Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, and Jared Leto.

Story:- This is a story of Tyler Durden. Edward Norton (Narrator) is a public bodily human being who subsists an uninteresting life. He spends money on everything of which he sees an advertisement; however, he realizes that nothing is worth buying. He is jaded of his dull life. On one irregular day his house was caught on fire, which therefore he was depressed on things he paid money for is now all gone. He shared his grievance with Tyler Durden to whom he has just met in an airplane. This was his greatest moment that completely changes the narrator's (Norton) life as a whole. Tyler was clever, energetic and entirety that Norton (narrator) has constantly hopes to be. Tyler was unrestricted from all kind of responsibilities. Norton (Narrator) joins forces with Tyler and starts a club known as Fight Club. Fight Club is the method to break free. It is a club where two people will fight with each other. It is a club with the certain set of rules. Members of fight club are obliged to these rules. Tyler was the guru, persuader and stimulus for the club members, they respect Tyler. This conveyed Tyler and prospect to pledge Project Mayhem. Project Mayhem was all about annihilation; it was all about economic balance.

Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt is one of the greatest characters in the history of films, and Pitt has brilliantly described the character of Tyler Durden. Pitt has specified a certain style to the character which was needed. Durden was innovative and completely different from characters you'd see on screen. Most of the famous lines in this movie were said by Tyler Durden. In the film itself, he becomes a Godly figure, hence the say, In Tyler We Trust.

Edward Norton is an amazing actor; he has the ability to get into the skin of the character. In this film he has plays the storyteller and story was said from his point of view.

David Fincher is a great storyteller he had his ways to tell this complex story with such a chic and sophistication. This film is based off a novel; however, Fincher still put his own style in this film. The reason I say this because one of his previous film that came out four years before this Seven had same kind of style. Fincher as well put a lot in- depth detailing in the script alone and as well the characters, which is what made this film what it is. It boils down to this; Fight Club is truly an amazing film. I highly recommend it, and I also recommend the book.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day pulls out the stops, setting the gold standard for expensive, explosive summer blockbusters. T2 delivers a feast of pulse-pounding action, elegantly visualized and finely tuned. Marvelous stunt work, jaw-dropping effects (which haven't aged a day in over a decade on the shelf), and emotional groundwork combine for a sharp, smooth, creative science-fiction action movie

Story: While Sarah languishes, her offending, teenager son John (Edward Furlong) suffers under difficult foster parents. This not likely hero as Terminator fans well know is apparently destined to become the hope of civilization as the leader of the rebel resistance against cruel artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic future. But for now, he's ripping off ATMs to fund video game binges at the mall. So there, nagging parents your lazy son really will amount to something one day! As sensitively played by first-timer Furlong, John Connor is a sensitively wounded spitfire on the peak of young adulthood.

Before long, the two Terminators are hunting for John. One is by the machines, wants him dead. The other is a reprogrammed hope of the rebels, has been instructed to protect the boy. In a clever spin on the star's career and the juiced-up sequel's status, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the good cyborg this time, Model: 101, while Robert Patrick plays the faster "advanced prototype," the T-1000.

Visuals: Escalating the unstoppable image of Terminators, the T-1000 is the gift that keeps on giving, made of a copied poly-alloy that allows flawless disguises and quick renewal. The T-1000 takes repeated lickings like being riddled with gun blasts and split in two--and keeps on ticking. He can turn his arms into metal picks and pull neat parlor tricks like instantly making his back his front in a fast-moving brawl. A terrific presentation by Patrick firmly sells the effects. The actor sprints like a machine with a burrowing, level glare and perfectly balanced movement. The dream sequence with the nuclear explosion is still equally as haunting today as it was at the time. The visuals are absolutely amazing and over 20 years later still stand the test of time.

Overall: You've got a great story, characters you care about and a great writing. Overall the movie is an absolute blast. The first time I saw it was when I was four years old and instantly fell in love with it. Terminator 2 is my most watched movie, I've seen countless times. It truly is a remarkable film, and a must see.

Michael Bay's Bad Boys is Bay's first feature film and it may probably be his finest film. Unfortunately it's not saying much because Bay happens to prefer the road of over-stuff and senseless rather than clear and capable.

The story is simple and easy-going, Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Smith) are two detectives for the Miami Police Department (MPD), who are called to search a one-hundred millions dollars' worth of heroin that was stolen from a protected vault. The main anti-hero Fouchet (Karyo) plans out the heroin high-jack. Julie (Leoni), the protagonist just happens to be in the wrong place at wrong time, and becomes the key witness for the MPD. It is up Lowrey and Burnett to capture Fouchet and his men, and be sure Julie is in protective custody.

Lawrence and Smith did a fine job occupied together as detectives; both men have characters and an understanding that delivers the moving drive to the script. Fouchet in other hand was lame. He was the leading villain, but he didn't seem cool, badass, or even interesting. Through-out the entire film, the guy seemed boring and unexciting.

Though Bad Boys was not perfectly completed, but it is best to be said that Bad Boys is entertaining for those who are looking for it. It's no-where near the best example of ludicrous popcorn flick, but the flick does have the viewers that will surely be pleased with the entire film.

STORY

It isn't until later on in The Departed that you realize how important and well-crafted its beginning is: Two Bostonians, Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), nearly cross paths when they're interviewed in succession by Sgt. Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) and Capt. Queenan (Martin Sheen). Costigan is chosen to infiltrate the mob in order to get to Boston's most feared boss, Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson), and he'll have to put in some time in the slammer and on the streets before gaining a shred of creed; meanwhile, Sullivan, clean-cut and articulate, is pulling the ultimate job for Costello by infiltrating the state police department and alerting the mob boss of their every move. As the two moles become more involved in their undercover operations, the groups they're infiltrating begin to smell something fishy. And so commences the chess match between Costigan and Sullivan to reveal each other before their respective non legit-colleagues do.

ACTING

For any actor or actress who truly enjoys the art of his/her job, more so than the sexy brink of it all, something as come together as The Departed must seem like the customary "candy store." Maybe that explains why DiCaprio, Damon, Nicholson and Wahlberg all signed up instead of carrying their own separate blockbusters for likely a much bigger payday. DiCaprio and Damon do what they do in every movie: give their best performances to date. Each plays completely against type, flaunting the fact that genuine movie super stardom isn't born out of good looks alone. For Nicholson, his career nearing the half-century mark, it's no longer easy to qualify and rank his performances, but Costello is one of his high points in a career pretty much devoid of anything but. Wahlberg steals the funniest lines, especially with his in born Boston accent, but Sheen often catches them before they're allowed too much laughter. It doesn't end there, though: Alec Baldwin (as a fellow officer), soon-to-be breakout star Vera Farmiga (as a police shrink who ends up playing a central role), Ray Winstone (as Costello's right-hand man) and Anthony Anderson (as a young cop familiar with both Costigan and Sullivan) all shine. Unprecedented chemistry among an unprecedented cast is as much a theme here as revenge!

The Departed is with no doubt a total masterpiece and it is easily my top five movies of all-time. The directing was total piece of wonderful art and the acting is beyond outstanding. This is the kind movie I recommended to an older audience, who will love a movie that offers crime drama like no other film has ever before. It is must buy on DVD or Blu Ray and a must see film
