REVIEW(*****) |
Based on a sequel of best selling novels Clive Cussuler's
Sahara. He refused cinematized, as you know,
Hugh Jackman shoule BE Dirk Pitt, NOT Van Helsing.
Anyway...sequel of Dirk Pitt is life work of Clive Cussuler
also his first novel.
He was in cameo appearance his novels and he named his real
son "Dirk". And recent sequel of Dirk Pitt written by
Dirk and Clive.
Clive established NGO which name was NUMA.
It purporse was raising sunken ships.
While sequel of Dirk Pitt, Dirk met his childlen which
parted in life long time ago.
After that his children Sally and Pit Jr.were play an
active role part in NUMA.
There was a huge scale of sequel like X-men.
Once Clive admitted cinematized Raized the Titanic
in '80, he got mad about works.
After 24 years, Hugh Jackman signed the contract once,
9.11 attack interrupted this plan.
I read the based novels because if Hugh got the role.
But Matthew got it.
Before I watched his Dirk Pitt, I thought
"Why Matthew steal Hugh's job again?" but he had a good effort.
His image of Dirk Pitt like J.Patrick and Hugh Jackman.
When he had comic dialogue with S.Zahn,it reminds us Napoleon Solo.

REVIEW(****) |
What nice Japanese title is. It meant
"How to start my final love" Hitch's final love in the
movie meant real love for him.
If destributing company would put on title English title,
I wouldn't know weather watch or not.
Experience of his breaking up, he started his job.
On the first grance, his clients looks like miserable
and good-men though the most miserable, chicken-hearted
and good-men might be Hitch himself I suppose.
He offers advice how to succeeded someone's love.
But he dosen't give a last word for client.
A first half of the movie draw aspect of Hitch and his clients
then a last half of the movie draw why women strike
their code whenever men had a lots of efforts for women.
Probably...opposite view of the movie was Someone Like You
It would be funny that there are lots of people who
are inapplicable of manual.

REVIEW(****) |
The movie premire was held at the restaurant
"Atelier Du Joel Robsion" in Roppongi in Japan.
(In Roppongi there were a lots of IE companies here)
It was appropiate for the movie,meeting chef and make up artist
a chef made two kinds of sweets which inspire of the movie,
and the restaurant hold a sweets party for movie.
Anyway...the movie told a man and a woman, both were independent
but they weren't rely on somebody.
They have no deep-friends who eat dinner with them or
travel somewhere.
It's kind of difficult situation for Japanese male or female
who work company because they have friends.
Like me,it's isolated example like movie's situation in Japan.
Felix should be a skillful chef however he has been against for
his father and left France and hold a frosen food company in
spite of he loved healty food to tell the truth.
On the other hand, Rose sprincle fragrance and wore make heavily.
She knew that caring own skin is the very important.
They thought whenever they had a battle of words,who look your talking.
Who look? Each other...they gave up to look for the person who understand
their job was great,their job was really calling for them.
Now they forgot it, they thought that the job is the way of making money.
But Felix found the truth after he made a dinner in the midnight hotel.
Also Rose did...

It was the result of too much rely on stock market.

REVIEW(*****) |
Based on true story of a boxer Jim Braddock.
Real man of Braddock wasn't famous like this movie
however this movie draw "The man who fight for only
family" well.
Crowe told a inteview of movie promotion.
"For me, Cinderella Man is the story of how one family
survived the Depression," then he added about profile of
Braddock, "Braddock as unique among movie heroes in that
he wasn't fighting for fame or even for personal victory
so much as he was just doing everything in his power to
take care of those he loved."
To work out his idea his role,Crowe began to study how to
train the body at that time with trainer Angelo Dundee,
who for 21 years trained the greatest champion of
them all, Muhammad Ali.
Crowe learned that boxers in the 1930s rarely trained
with weights, giving them a less cut physique than
current boxers, so his program studiously avoided
pumping iron. Instead, the emphasis was put on cardio.
" After each of the boxing scenes, which were incredibly
intense, I felt like I was going to pass out and all
I was doing was standing in the corner screaming at him.
Russell has incredible stamina, and I truly believe
someone like Angelo could have made him a boxer."
Giamatti told like that about Crowe.
His own grandfather boxed for a brief period of time.
Also he told about role of Gould second of Braddock.
"He was known for being abrasive and obnoxious-and yet
for some mysterious reason he and Braddock
got along famously,"
"Gould was almost as devastated by Braddock's descent
into poverty as the fighter himself and was determined to
help him if he could." It was obvious the scene as Mae
visited gorgeous apartment of Gould, Mae tought Gould
should've been gorgeous however he sold all of things.
"Joe Gould was the man responsible for guiding Jim's career.
If an up-and commming script writer Criff wound't bring
the story of Cinderella Man, nobody didn't have a
oppotunity to know it. He told about how to find the story
The Jim Braddock story is unusual in more ways than one,"
"He inspired the nation in 1935 and was a national hero,
yet he became a largely forgotten figure"
It's my hope that this forgotten hero will be
remembered once again."
The Jazz Age of the 1920s was a golden time for America,
as the nation used to be celebrated peace and
booming prosperity on the heels of WW1
At that time there were lots of Ilish boxer
in nations. For Ilish it was one of the best
way to make a killing.
After he won against Baer...what did Braddock doing...
Braddock's last fighting was defeating fight against
the talented Tommy Farr in 1938.
After he was able to defeated his championship
he determinded to retired the boxing world for his family.
He served in WWII and went on to own and operate heavy
equipment. In the 1950s, he helped to build Brooklyn's
famous Verrazano Bridge.
He died in 1974 at the age of 68
Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1964 and International Boxing Hall
of Fame in 2001.

REVIEW(***) |
To Tell the truth, I lost file of movie review!
Then...this review was re-write...Ummm...it was hard to remember though
Those type of movies,it would be better re-write review than first
writing review I supporse.
Back then,more than half of viewers slept in movie theather at that time.
Other less than half of viewers in movie theater were..looks like
American,Canadian,Europien,Chinesem,Aussie and business men.
As a Japanese I shamed status in movie theater.
In spite of Japanese has surrounded lots of oil products,most of them
are still no interested in deep probrem of oil like this movie.
For oil contry,Nasir said in the movie like that,
"In spite of there are lots of capital,we had no drilling right,
no kinds of "right",all of "right" reseived USA. It's paradoxical things."
He made up the idea why don we independent from USA.
It reminds me Dobai which gave up on oil industries then they started
resort industries for world cerebrities.
"Actual contry's condition" reminds me Saudi-Arabia.
It's the biggest oil contry and taking kindship,there is no voting right for women.
Movie name came from contries which are located middle east and
"how hate USA or CIA".
Syria,Iran Iraq went for it.
Why middle-east contries hate USA?
Of cause taiste is totally differ but people who live in immigrant contries,
they tend to be categorized someone.
Under the rule of USA ,Washim can't find himself "limited field of view".
For him it was the place of Musulim fundamentalist. For Bob
it was CIA.
As CIA,their purpuse was getting back drilling right from Nasir to USA,
There is no meaning about Bob.

REVIEW(***) |
Copy of movie was...
"It's the last marcial arts work of Jet Li"
Most fan of Jet Li would be surprized. Of caused he didn't retire from
the movie carrer and action movie totally.
Probabry he wanted to make the movie Huo Yuanjia when he
was able to maintain well^balanced not only mental side but also
assets,body conditioning, etc.
At the 50,it's too late to play him,at the 30 or 35,it would be to fast
to promote it for all over the world.
Now he well-balanced actor,producer,expert in martial arts.
Before he produced it, he played Chin-Shin,one of pupil of Yuanjia in
Ledgend Of Flash Fighter('94), remake movie of Bruce Lee's
movie.
Generally Chinese accepted explanation is that Yuanjia killed by Japanese
Not only grand son of Yuanjia gave testimony that anytimes also
it's easy to bring up to Chines work out story.
Movie of Jet Li was not exception.
Casting were kinds of sloppy (using second class Japanese actor and actress
what's for?) Just we fun action of Jet in the movie.
On the other hand , this movie, treating Japanese was better than Ledgend~
The theme of movie was "International exchanges though martial arts,
to do that, what's the real strong, what's winning?"
He might get the answer in the movie.

REVIEW(***)
|
It' would be possible that the sun of Thilda and D'Onofirio had thumbsucker
And dentist was Keanu Reeves? Woo Ha.
The story is about growing up, and Lou Pucci delivered a brilliant job.
Even there were so many big name actors and actress, why I didn't get
so big impact? Did they stick to play "normal people".
One of the main cast Thilda told in production note,
Playing normal acting was more difficult than over action.
Before I watched this movie, I'm afraid that he appeared visual effect
not story. But it blew somewhere.
He draw "illness surburd people" so heart warming,delicate and light touch.
Even sidekicks didn't have so much impact than Lou Pucci who played Justin,
They reserched what complex do their characters have.
For example, Thilda, she has a complex that easy to felt in love first site but
she can't stop. After she found the fact of love, she would be dissapeared
counterpart or husband.
In the movie, she was going to entry sweepstake if she would win it,
she would be able to meet her favorite TV star Matt.
To entry that, she bought a brassy dress.
It's really common story among Japanese non-job house wife who was
born after WW2 to before '70s.
Keanu got this movie's script after he shot sequel of Matrix
he might wanna get out of action movies, big-budget movies world.
He played "bizzar dentist" and " ordinaly dentist".
V. Vaughn put into ad -lib and arranged script by himself.
His role might be boring but playing Vaughn made it funny.
End of the scene would make you think.
