Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde (1932)



This classic version of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde will not frighten the today's audience.This silent film is also taken good at that time.The story of Dr.Jekyll who invents the medicine to transform a man into beasty creature.He succeeds it and test with himself.

At certain times,he transforms into ugly Mr.Hyde.The people in the town are frightened about Mr.Hyde.Finally the people in that city reveals his identity and he meet his end.

This film taught us the dual nature of human who can good and bad at certain times.When a man/woman meet their certain life situations they become good or evil.This thought must be agreed.

Terminator III: Rise of the Machines



According to Terminator in the previous,the Judgment Day happened in few year before is not yet over.Still there is a threat exist against young John Conner and his mate Kate Brewster.

Again a newly programmed Terminator(Arnold Schwarzenegger) come to rescue both of them.Their enemy T-X(Kristanna Loken) is much more stronger than Terminator.The female bodied machine chases three of them to destroy the mankind in the future.

The T-X machine can't kill both her targets,but hugely damages the Terminator.At the final stage,Terminator destroy T-X and also himself.Then the war begins between the mankind and machines.The film ends at the beginning of war.

T-X machine role performed by Kristanna Loken is very nice.She doesn't showed any sign as human being in her face and behaviours.Arnold also done his character well like Kristanna.The special effects of both these characters are unrealistic and they fit for them.The Terminator sequels going like series,and expecting the good outcome for the mankind.Definately,this film should satisfy the action film fans.

Beyond 30 years,the artificial intelligence machines,making the way to destroy the mankind.Only the future born fighter who is still not born can lead the fight against the machines.That child's mother is Sarah Conor(Linda Hamilton).So to kill her the Terminator(Arnold Schwarzenegger) cyborg sent from the future.Also to protect her a human Kyle Reese(Michael Biehn) being landed in Los Angeles.

Some police officers and detectives arrested Reese and Sarah Conor in the car chase.Terminator coming back to police station,attacking officers and looking to kill his targets.He failed in that attempt and killed by Reese.In that final stage,Kyle Reese also killed himself and successfully rescued Sarah Conor.

In this film the story is unrealistic and imaginative.The action performed by Terminator is amazing.Arnold played his Anti-hero role here,not a Villain.His words while attacking police station, "I will be back" is sounds good.Special effects, fight scenes and stunt are performed good.

Nicolas Cage takes the character of young Johny Blaze who will become the Ghost Rider in this film.His boyhood life,love and romance and his aims are shown shortly in the first scenes.After several years he lost contact with his lover.He want to make big achievement to cross the number of helicopters by driving the bike on air.He got success in that attempt.

Special effects during the appearance of Ghost Rider are fantastic.Particularly when the Ghost Rider driving his bike against the big building and fighting at the roof of that building and revolving/driving the bike across the river side are great.I didn't observed whether the Ghost Rider identity revealed to the public or not.It was only known to his lover.

For the action movie fans and super hero enthusiasts this movie will not dissapoint them.All of the special effects are eye catching and made very realistic.

Rambo III

In this third sequel of Rambo,the Army officer who appeared in first and second parts of Rambo movies was held as prisoner in Afghanistan by enemy forces.So Rambo took the job to release him and other prisoner in that desert country.

He meet many colleagues among that tribal people and making good allies.Rambo meet many obstacles,challenges and adventures in the rescue operation.Through this film,the audience can know about the armed situation of Afghanistan.Even a boy holding a weapon in that country.

Finally his rescue mission successfully completed.In this film there is no love,romance and sentiments.Rambo made good friends in that country and leave them with heavy heart.Gun fights,explosions and strikes are happening often in this film.

I eagerly watched this film,but dissapointed that the action scenes are similar to that of previous part which was filmed in South East,but this filmed in Middle East.I think every action film fans will like this third movie of John Rambo and his adventure journey.

They mixed humor and adventures with characters such as Genie,Iago and Abu and etc.The big character Genie did only the comic part of the movie.The adventure part is played by Alladin and his magic carpet,Abu and Iago.

This entire movie can be easily understood by children and anyone.The dialogues voiced here are very clear and there is no slang.

Blade Trinity


Blood path of vampires and conquering them continues as series.This time Blade(Starring Wesley Snipes) has few allies(Jessica Bell and Ryan Reynolds) to fight against the evils.But Blade captured all action against the evil vampires.

The comic book character shown as like in comics ,animation and stories.Characteristics and properties of vampires are shown well.Blade is also a vampire but he was from mixed couples.He took the job to hunt the vampires and to save the world.

Vampire king and their companions are shown as evil as possible.Particularly WWE Wrestler Triple H(Starred as Jarko Grimwood) appeared as their fellow vampire.I am one of a fan Triple H.But in this film he appeared in very short time frame.

After certain bloody battles,Blade and his allies going to conquer the Vampire king.He successfully finish his job and saved the world.

Fight scenes and stunts are not bad.They could showed this film with more graphics and few animations.They also didn't showed the past life of Blade.That may be included.Anyhow it is a good film worth to watch by comic fans and action film enthusiasts alike.

TMNT (2007)



This 3D version of Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles performed their action well against the evil forces.In this film,they showed new friends,allies and monstrous evils etc.The first scene shows the evil emperor's history and his curse for long ages.

After making good job for people,turtles are appearing before the audience.Each character shown with its appropriate action,weapons,tactics and behaviour etc.To put an end to the curse of evil emperor for long decades,he need certain amount of monsters.So his commanders and soldiers are capturing that different monsters at different times.

While capturing few monsters,the turtles are interferring with them.With some conflicts they captured all monsters except a tiny one.Instead of that monster those evil commanders made a substitute(Turtle).

The evil emperor knows the mistake and correct and he become a biggest evil to rule the world.Anyhow the turtles and their commander(A Rat) and allies defeat those bad guys and successfully saved the world.

The final confrontation contains many graphic scenes and can't observe the few fight scenes.Entire story and animation is played very good.Especially for the children it is a good to watch and also fit for general audience.

Rating 3.5/4.0

Brave Heart



I am one of the fan of Mel Gibson from my boyhood age .I watched eagerly this movie at local languange(Tamil) in my leisure.Mel Gibson acted and directed good in this film.Many people nowadays are not known the Scottish Independence movement happened about many hundred years ago.Mel Gibson pictured that revolution,rebels and people at that time.

In first few scenes ,he showed the people and need for rebellion movements.The rebel character(William Wallace) starring Mel Gibson is shown very good.His love life and romance are ending very fast with tragedy and fight.

The Queen who shown in this film ,was eager to know about William Wallace.She didn't know much about him.William Wallace forms a good group of rebels and fought few times with governing authorities.

In the final war,Wallace defeated by English army and taken as prisoner.At last he was executed at London before the people and his fellow rebels.Mel Gibson potrayed the Freedom Struggle and the rebel Leader in very good.His final thought before execution shows the Freedom voice of his people.I liked this move very much.

Crimson Tide


I watched this movie latenight at a TV channel.In the first scenes,they showing scenes about global conflicts,complex issues US facing at that time and also Cold War.That time,a military officer(Starring Denzel Washington) and Navy commander (Gene Hackman) travelling in a nuclear submarine to do a particular work assigned to them.

During this time there were some spoken conflicts occurs between Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman about using the nuclear weapon against the enemy.So the mutiny among the soldiers happen due to seperation of two commanders.

By these conflicts few lives are lost in that submarine and harsh words and actions are continue inside there.Finally Denzel Washington stopped the usage of nuclear weapon from Gene Hackman.

Throughout this film,Gene Hackman is very eager to use nuclear weapon against enemies.He also shares his past experiences in war.During the eating time Denzel Washington shares his thoughts about war.Particulary I liked the sentences "In the nuclear world,the real enemy is war itself" from Denzel Washington.

There is no feelings about love and relationships because it is a action movie.Anyhow it is a good movie which shows about war and peace a little bit.

Rating: 3.5/5
