The Bucket List

The Bucket List is a feel-good film about death, a sitcom about mortality, "Ikiru" for meatheads. It's also a picture about two cancer patients confronting reality, and deciding how they want to spend their presumed last days, that has not an ounce of reality about it. For all these reasons, along with the star power of Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, this refitting of the grumpy old men genre stands a good chance of becoming director Rob Reiner's first hit since the mid-'90s, even though its prevailing sensibility will eventually make it look more at home on small screens.

Atonement

An early contender for the 2008 Oscars, Joe Wright's take on Ian McEwan's novel of sex, guilt and repentance in WWII-era England is a highly engaging work. Reuniting with many of the key cast and crew behind his previous film, the equally fine take on Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Wright proves that was no one-off. Delivering an ambiguous, unsettling but masterful work with both assurance and panache, he even draws career-best performances from his leads, James McAvoy and Keira Knightley.

Awake

Jessica Alba, Hayden Christenson, and Terrence Howard star in first-time director/screenwriter Joby Harold's nerve-jangling psychological thriller about a man who experiences the frighteningly common surgical phenomenon known as "anesthetic awareness," in which those laid out on the operating table remain acutely aware of what is going on around them despite remaining completely paralyzed and unable to cry out for help. When a successful young man (Christenson) goes under the knife and realizes that the anesthesia hasn't quite done its job, the horror quickly sets in as his worried wife (Alba) waits anxiously and a terrifying drama unfolds in the operating room.

casino royale

These aren’t the usual lighthearted exasperations we’re used to between the agent and commanding officer. She’s ready to cut his career prematurely short if he doesn’t get his attitude under control. .....

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

other than the cars, the chicks, and the chase scenes would be the epitome of all things pointless. These movies are not made to tell a story, to impart a lesson, or to illuminate the masses to something culturally fascinating. They don't bother with things like quality screenplays, adequate acting performances, or sincere emotion ... because those clunky components only manage to get in the way of ... the ... cars!

rob-b- hood

Jackie Chan and Louis Koo Tin-Lok star as mediocre bad guys Thongs and Octopus. Jackie Chan tired of stereotypical nice guy roles wanted to play a criminal, though his character Thongs is a burglar and compulsive gambler, the “good guy” nature of his character comes through quite clearly and his performance does not veer far from most of Jackie’s previous personae. This role is a good step in broadening his experience as an actor. Octopus is a married womanizer who works with Thongs. He married very young to Pak Yin (the terminally cute Charlene Choi) and is doing his best to woo wealthy young women while avoiding his wife. Thongs and Octopus both work under the guidance of the Landlord (Michael Hui) a conservative criminal who hoards his theft while the other two spend their “earnings”...

Mission: Impossible 3

In Mission: Impossible III, Tom Cruise, as the no-fear, no-sweat IMF agent Ethan Hunt, scurries across a freeway bridge that's been blasted to smithereens and, using nothing but a machine gun, faces down a rogue fighter jet as it launches missiles right at him. He swings from one skyscraper to the next, skittering off the face of a glass pyramid and shooting a guard in mid-slide, landing at the roof's edge with a perfectly understated and in-control ''Okay!'' He sprints through the streets of Shanghai in a black T-shirt that makes him look like the fittest movie star ever and, more arrestingly, strolls quietly into empty rooms, gathering the film's tension around the wary, coiled urgency of his stare.

final destination 3

Final Destination 3 continues onward with a premise that’s already been covered adequately by the first two movies in its series as teenagers tick off death by cheating it out of their corpse. Death is a spiteful little bitch, and so goes after them again in the most bizarre, gruesome, and implausible ways imaginable. You don’t want to piss off the grim reaper.

Saw 3

The film opens where the second left off and the first began. Detective Matthews is chained up in the infamous bathroom with a handsaw and a choice. After Matthews cleverly “solves” his problem, the title screen flashes and the story leaves Matthews in favor of several vignettes of horrible deaths that are of little consequence to the plot, which doesn’t take shape until 30 minutes into the film. In a nutshell, Jigsaw’s on his death bed and his apprentice Amanda , kidnaps a brain surgeon forces him to keep Jigsaw alive to watch his latest game. The script then dances between Jigsaw’s struggle to live, his latest victim’s progress through his funhouse and flashbacks which attempt to fill in the last two films’ plot holes.
