The Bank Job (2008)

Synopsis:
A car dealer with a dodgy past and new family, Terry (Statham) has always avoided major-league scams. But when Martine (Burrows), a beautiful model from his old neighborhood, offers him a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London's Baker Street, Terry recognizes the opportunity of a lifetime. Martine targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. But Terry and his crew don't realize the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal that spans London's criminal underworld, the highest echelons of the British government, and the Royal Family itself...the true story of a heist gone wrong...in all the right ways.

Review: The Bank Job starts off a bit choppy with the confusing introduction of its central characters, but quickly tightens up and becomes a thoroughly entertaining caper film with Jason Statham (Transporter, Crank) in the lead. A story so intriguing and bizarre it’s difficult to believe it’s based on true events, The Bank Job is a very British tale of orgies, crooked cops, dedicated MI5 agents, bank robbers, and one very naughty member of the Royal Family.

The Bank Job does a great job of keeping the audience guessing the entire 110 minute running time. By feeding out important parcels of the story a little at a time and not tying neat little bows around each character’s part in the pic until absolutely necessary (don’t go for popcorn or you’ll miss something important), director Donaldson offers up a movie that’s edgy and even darkly humorous at times, and definitely worth a trip to the theater.

Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). Given little field experience and even less time, Smart-armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm-must thwart the doomsday plans of KAOS head Siegfried (Terence Stamp).

Review: This movie was funny,exciting and well acted. Good movie, but if you go expecting to see the original show, you're out of luck. They could have made it better, and they needed to have more satire in there to make it TRUE Get Smart. Overall, it's a good movie that could have been better and should have been truer to the series. Overall, this is a good movie worth watching.

Taken (2008)

Synopsis:
Bryan (Neeson) has taken early retirement from the CIA in order to live closer to his teenage daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace). Bryan's government work kept him away from Kim for much of her childhood, and he's now trying to make up for lost time. When Kim announces that she's taking a trip to Paris with her friend Amanda (Katie Cassidy), Bryan is apprehensive about her traveling on her own. His worst fear is soon realized, as Kim and Amanda are abducted upon their arrival in France. Bryan immediately springs into action, using his well-honed CIA skills to piece together clues from a single, frantic phone call he received from Kim. He hops a plane to Paris, determined to rescue his daughter before she falls off the grid completely. With some help from his old CIA buddies, he tracks down the kidnappers--an Albanian crime ring known for selling young girls into the sex trade. He quickly takes matters into his own hands, plowing his way through Paris's underworld as the clock ticks down and the bullets fly. His search propels him into the upper echelons of a massive crime ring, putting him closer and closer to his beloved daughter.

Review: Liam Neeson is an unstoppable force in this adrenaline-fueled thriller from director Pierre Morel. Bryan (Neeson) has taken early retirement from the CIA in order to live closer to his teenage... Liam Neeson is an unstoppable force in this adrenaline-fueled thriller from director Pierre Morel.

Neeson is known for tackling extremely cerebral roles, so it is interesting to see him in full-on action-hero mode. In TAKEN he is no less than a crime-fighting machine--a Bourne/Bond hybrid with a deathly serious baritone. And while he spends most of the film firing Uzis and snapping necks, he still manages to deliver a moving performance as an estranged father fighting for what he loves most in the world. The film undeniably owes a lot to Neeson's acting chops. He manages to raise this rather thinly plotted, deeply violent film a bar above your typical action fare.

On the one day of the year that he could actually have a chance, senior skip day, he screws it all up by accidentaly slipping the location of the party to his principle. But have no fear, in a last resort effort he moves the party to his house and all seems to be well. Or is it...

Review: Suprisngly, i really liked this movie, it just so funny. it really reminded me alot of American Pie Series but with much milder jokes and younger actors. It surely is funny how the Principal gets beaten up by the parents, just makes it so funny and also the jokes inside the party were not so bad, good enough to satisfy..

The movie could have been better if it had more jokes though, because you can see places where good jokes could fit well but it was left empty.. oh well, not bad after all.. had wicked time watching..

The Happening (2008)

Synopsis:
M. Night Shyamalan directs this thriller about a science teacher (Mark Wahlberg) who tries to escape with his wife and friend's daughter after an apocalyptic event. THE HAPPENING costars Zooey Deschanel and John Leguizamo.

Review: Something in the air is turning normal people into self-destructive crazies prone to flinging themselves off buildings and blowing their brains out. That much, at least, can be shared about The Happening, a feature-length Twilight Zone episode in which a high school science teacher (Mark Wahlberg, constricted), his flighty wife (Zooey Deschanel of the big blue eyes), and an Innocent Little Girl in their care (Ashlyn Sanchez, nearly mute) face down an epidemic of death rampaging through the Northeast. Supposedly, the cause of the catastrophe is unknown — it might be the work of terrorists, a virus, a toxin in the air, or the legacy of nuclear malfeasance.

The Happening begins with promise, but unfortunately descends into an incoherent and unconvincing trifle. The last 10 minutes of the movie makes you embarrased.

But the point behind the movie was great. It made sense, the simple fact that the environment was feeling threatened by humans so in its defense it sent out poisonous venoms, like they would send out if they felt threatened by insects. And it made me wonder what will happen if humans continue to endanger plants and animals causing them to become extinct would they really be able to do something of this nature to harm humans.

College (2008)

Synopsis:
After Kevin (Drake Bell), a high school senior, gets dumped by his girlfriend Gina (Alona Tal) for being too boring, he doesn't want to go to the freshman orientation weekend at Fieldmont University, where they had planned to go together. But his best friends Carter (Andrew Caldwell) and Morris (Kevin Covais) convince him that the weekend away will help get his mind off her. Once there, one of the rowdiest Fraternities and sororities fraternities on campus pretends to recruit them as pledges in return for granting them access to the college party scene. Though forced to put up with the disgusting antics of fraternity brothers Teague (Nick Zano), Bearcat (Gary Owen), and Cooper (Zach Cregger), the guys meet sorority girls Kendall (Haley Bennett), Heather (Camille Mana), and Amy (Nathalie Walker), and sparks fly. But once Teague feels threatened by Kevin's new relationship with Kendall, he takes the pre-frosh humiliation to a greater level, forcing the guys to decide to fight back.

Review: An outrageous new comedy
that follows in the classic footsteps of "Animal House," "American Pie" and "Old School," COLLEGE is the story of three high school friends
(Drake Bell, Kevin Covais and Andrew Caldwell) who visit a local college campus as prospective freshman anticipating the best weekend of their lives. Once there, the rowdiest fraternity on campus (headed by womanizing jock Nick Zano) decides to recruit the boys as "pledges," subjecting them to endless humiliations, in return for granting them access to the no-holds-barred college party scene.

Though forced to put up with the humiliating and disgusting antics of the fraternity brothers, the boys still manage to meet sorority girls (Haley Bennett, Camille Mana and Nathalie Walker) who mistake them for college freshmen. Now, at the thought of the boys getting their women, the fraternity increases the pre-frosh humiliation and blackmails the boys by threatening to expose their underage status. With no choice but to fight back, the three friends retaliate with a major scheme to avenge their tormentors, destroy the fraternity, and win back the hearts, minds - and bodies! - of the sorority girls.
