I watched The green hornet today, a great action movie with a lot of humour, specially beceause Seth Rogen is in it, who  IMHO is  one of the greatest comediants of this time. The movie is a rollarcoaster of fighting and high speed chases, the story, wich also was written by Rogen, is like of  many action hero movies but I didn't mind beceause it's brought in a different, funny way. For me a 9/10.

Agree with den Buut this is a fun movie  but I thought the role was made for Will Ferrel,here a review I posted on March 19 th about The Green Hornet.
Sometimes you read a few review before watching a film,I had read a few bad ones about The Green Hornet so I was pleasantly surprised to find a film that was funny /action packed and with good characters.
Seth Rogen (playing Britt Reid/The Green Hornet) was funny but I do feel this part was made for Will Ferrel. Some of the one lines had me in stitches with camp undertones akin to the Batman TV series.Jay Chou (playing Kato) played the perfect part as half the brains behind the duo and Cameron Diaz ( Lenore Case ) playing the brainier other half with The Green Hornet wanting to take all the credit.
Christoph Waltz ( who  plays the baddie Benjamin Chudnofsky AKA Bloodnofsky ) is fantastic as a villain and worked his role very well and very convincingly. Plus there was also a good sense of humour to his role, and it worked well.The story is fast paced and keep you entertained from start to finish.
This movie is no Batman or Superman but it is a watch-able ,funny,action packed 1 hours and 50 minutes of fun .May not be to everyone's taste but I loved it 8.5/10   


( nice to see den Buut doing a review.....more please  )

The Punisher (2004):
 
Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment.

The Punisher: Those who do evil to others-the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists- will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me.......THE PUNISHER

Good action movie with John Travolta.

'The Tourist'. First when I looked at the Trailer I wasn't sure it will be a good movie but it is a very good drama, cute and funny! The romances were absolutely adorable. 

Rating: 8/10.
*Nice to see when you are in the right mood for some romance,drama. The movie stars are not in their best.

The Tourist (2010).

Cast: Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewell, Timothy Dalton, Steven Berkoff

Johnny Depp stars as an American tourist whose playful dalliance with a stranger leads to a web of intrigue, romance and danger in The Tourist. During an impromptu trip to Europe to mend a broken heart, Frank (Depp) unexpectedly finds himself in a flirtatious encounter with Elise (Angelina Jolie), an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Paris and Venice, their whirlwind romance quickly evolves as they find themselves unwittingly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse .

Yes Almog The Tourist is a good movie...I gave it a 8/10 too  ..Angelina Jolie is a very attractive lady 

Tonight I watched The Wolfman
The original has been altered big time, but this version can hold its own. Benico del Toro plays Lawrence Talbot, a well known Shakespearean actor performing Hamlet in London. Talbot is informed by his brother's fiancé(Emily Blunt)of his disappearance. Upon arriving at his family estate Lawrence is told by his estranged father(Anthony Hopkins)his brother's body was found viciously mauled. Drinkers in the local pub want to place blame on gypsies camped on the outskirts of town. After Talbot talks to a gypsy queen he gets the impression recent killings were actually the attacks of a werewolf. As anticipated Lawrence survives an attack himself...only to deal with the curse of being bitten. Supporting cast includes: Hugo Weaving, Geraldine Chaplin, Elizabeth Croft and Art Malik. Photography and F/X are commendable and the atmosphere is enhanced by the music of the outstanding Danny Elfman.
How can you not like a movie with Anthony Hopkins in,so it's a 7/10 for me 

Here's the trailer
The Wolfman Trailer 2010 HD

Tonight I watched The Social Network

I'm not a Facebook regular user but I found this movie fascinating .The film tells the story of the founding of the massively popular social networking site Facebook. At the outset, co-founders Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) & Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) are best friends but business soon comes between them. This results in legal action against Zuckerberg, who is also being sued for allegedly stealing the idea for Facebook from his would-be employers.
If you haven't seen it ,you must get a copy.8.7/10 

Here's the trailer

Slumdog Millionaire

From Danny Boyle, director of Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, comes the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"
----------------

I usualy watch only English language movies and I was afraid this movie will be in India language, so I just let you know here that the movie is in English language (With some India accent of course). A very good & recommened movie to watch.
Rating: 9/10.

That's the film about football hooliganism that ends with the killing of Tony Tucker, Patrick Tate and Craig Rolfe in a Range Rover in Rettendon.Essex.On the same theme is Bonded by Blood which a British Gangster type movie also

Anybody with half a brain knows Tony Tucker, Patrick Tate and Craig Rolfe get killed in a Range Rover in Rettendon( as its a true story and had large coverage in the press ) and it won't spoil the end of the film
