You, Me and Dupree mini movie review ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

★★★★★ ★☆☆☆☆
Despite a difficult first act, Owen Wilson provides enough of his Owen-ness (good-natured, honest charm) to make this a decent good-natured rom-com. Everyone steps up their game in the second act - the writer and the stars - and a clichéd but fun third act ends things on a sweet-natured high.

Frenzy (1972) movie review ★★★★★★★★☆☆

★★★★★ ★★★☆☆
Getting off to a bad-tempered start with Jon Finch as a drunken, charmless soon-to-be 'wrong man', this penultimate Hitchcock movie finally settles into a first-rate chiller with the onset of the rape and murder. The film is grippingly paced at any rate and directed far better than it is written (by "Sleuth" scribe Anthony Schaffer but almost all the swearing is rubbish and the dialogue is clunky until the rape and murder). This is better and more satisfying than his previous three films "Marnie", "Torn Curtain" and "Topaz" and is understandably regarded as the last great Hitchcock.

Any scene with Barry Foster in is brilliant. The most famous or infamous scene in the film is his character Robert Rusk's rape and murder of Brenda Blaney (Barbara Leigh-Hunt). It is superbly put together. Disturbing, terrifying and convincing. The Hitchcock touch is that you cannot turn away. You are gripped. Later, the best scene in the film, is Rusk's retrieval of the tie-pin in the back of the potato truck memorably grim and darkly, horribly humourous.

Another surprisingly great scene is the discovery of Brenda Blaney (Barbara Leigh-Hunt). The assistant goes in, the camera comes out and waits outside. We know there is going to be a scream, there always is. It is the cliché. Hitchcock holds the moment brilliantly. You are subconsciously holding your breath waiting for the scream. It feels like its never going to come. You wonder if the assistant is going to come running out, it's been so long. Then it comes! The scream and… I jumped! Amazing.

The revelation of the guilty verdict is wonderfully done with Hitchcock generating genuine suspense through the closed door.

As a bonus, Hitchcock delivers a couple of wonderful, generous scenes where the lead investigator discusses the case in explicit detail while miserably prodding the gourmet meals his wife keeps insisting on preparing - much to his chagrin.

To cap things off, Hitchcock delivers a low-key but brilliant ending where it looks like our 'wrong man' will have inadvertently incriminated himself beyond redemption. Then he finishes the film instantly. It reminds one of the ending of his masterpiece "North by Northwest" in its crispness.

Special mention for an amazing trailer featuring Hitchcock floating belly-up in the Thames: "I dare say you are wondering why I am floating around London like this." Or when explaining that the setting is the Covent Garden market he is rudely interrupted by a rigor mortis leg popping up out of a bag of potatoes: "I've heard of a leg of lamb. I've even heard of a leg of chicken but never a leg of potatoes." They don't make trailers like that anymore.

"With great power comes great responsibility"

Director Sam Raimi must have had this thought, repeated multiple times in David Koepp's script, running through his mind over and over as he was given the power to take a much-loved comic-book hero to the big-screen.

Thanks to the success of Bryan Singer's "X-Men" comic book heroes have come back into fashion. Sony entrusted Raimi with a budget like nothing he had received before (even relatively expensive movies such as "Darkman" and "The Quick and the Dead" were very reasonably budgeted). His main technical obstacle was the obviously super-human activities of web-slinging and walking up walls and hanging from ceilings. His main directorial challenge would be to suspend the audience's disbelief. How did he do?

Unfortunately, he appears to stumble at the first hurdle. The opening credits sequence is unimaginative and dull, but the biggest mistake was using a theme obviously composed by Danny Elfman. The reason this is a mistake is because it is highly reminiscent of Elfman's career-best work on Tim Burton's classic super-hero movie "Batman" which also featured a brilliant, moody, innovative and completely classy opening credits sequence. Anyone who has seen [Batman] before this movie will sub-consciously be reminded of that classic.

This sense of déja vu happens on numerous occasions. We get multiple Batman moments and at least one Superman moment. The movie doesn't feel original or new. It feels like it never shows us something we haven't seen before. This is despite the fact that we have never seen (in live action, at least) a man swinging through buildings on web strands.

This sounds very critical but I should now reaffirm that the movie is indeed good, very good. Unlike most of the films it is reminiscent of (and its main summer 2002 competition "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones": Yoda rocks!), this film never has a really great moment. The best thing about Spiderman is Willem Dafoe. His performance as Norman Osborne and The Green Goblin is truly outstanding mixing villainy and humanity with extreme skill. The Thanksgiving dinner he has with Peter, Aunt May, his son and Mary-Jane is just spectacular.

Also the comment regarding Elfman's music may come over as too harsh. After the credit sequence, Elfman does much better and manages to come up with a good Spider-Man theme used at critical moments in the movie to terrific effect.

Swinging :)

• Brilliantly paced


• Willem Dafoe


• Decent story and characterisation

Sticky Mess :(

• Visual effects are not too good until the final (breathtaking) shot


• Sound design is surprisingly flat


• Green Goblin has a rubbish mask which hides Willem Dafoe's mug (a big mistake)


• Two more falling-while-shooting-a-rope-of-safety-skyward superhero rescues, I was fed up with them before the climax of "Batman Forever" (which, incidentally, is completely repeated here)

DESCRIPTION
Investigating the apparently straightforward murder of a chauffeur, hapless Detective Inspector Jacques Clouseau believes the beautiful maid, Maria, to be innocent even though she was found in a locked room with the victim and murder weapon (a gun) still smoking in her hand. Through dogged persistance, hilarious disguises, another 13 murders and 6 attempts on his own life, Clouseau sets out to prove his case.

The first place to start discussing this movie is in a stack of classic sequences. The pool game scene, the nudist colony sequence, the final reveal, the oft-repeated trip to the police station.

The throwaway gag lines in this movie are also right out of the top drawer, better than most other comedy films out-and-out gags. "This pen has been fired recently", "Yes, it is my coat", "Would you kill somebody who tore your dress off?", "Goodbye my darl... er, Miss Gambrelli", "Then I submit, Inspector Balon, that you arrived home, found Miguel with Maria Gambrelli and killed him in a rit of fealous jage!", "Ah, that would be for me."

Clouseau's philosophies on life are staggeringly funny. On being told he may die of pneumonia: "Yes, yes, I probably will. But it's all part of life's rich pageant, y'know. We police have to put up with a lot of things in the course of our duties that in private life we probably wouldn't tolerate." On police investigative technique: "Well, you see in the police force, first we presume, then we find out." On prison: "Prison is bad enough without uncomfortable furniture." or "You can't have a contemporary prison without, er, contemporary furniture." On the identity of the murderer: "I suspect everyone" (which, as it turns out, is pretty much the case). On billiards: "Yes, I prefer the good old-fashioned playing cue." On whether he would kill for chief murder suspect Maria Gambrelli: "Of course!... erm, not." On being invited to examine the body of the victim: "I would be delighted!"

His unbelievable trouble with doors from the first movie continues. He gets dumped out of a first-floor window by one door, gets smashed in the face by his bathroom swing door, fails to notice chief murder suspect Maria being brought into his office via his own office door and puts his hand through the glass panel on another. He also has a problem with his hat when he examines the murder scene.

The cast is excellent. Sellers has never been better as the bumbling Inspector, thoroughly charming in his clumsy infatuation with Elke Sommers easy-to-be-infatuated-by murder suspect. Awesome support from the ever-brilliant George Sanders (as millionaire Monsieur Balon) adds to the melting pot and Graham Stark (as Hercule) makes the first of his regular Blake Edwards movie appearances.

Also of note, is the introduction of new regular characters, usually the most difficult aspect of sequels. Burt Kwouk as Cato, Clouseau's manservant. A menacing fight sequence turns into high comedy when the phone rings and Clouseau's mysterious assailant, Cato, interrupts his attack to answer politely. Best of all, Herbert Lom as Chief Inspector Dreyfuss who progressively loses his sanity throughout the movie and boasts marvellous nervous afflictions such as the twitching eye and the alarming propensity to stab himself and chop parts of his body off.

Grief, I nearly forgot to mention the music. Remarkably there is no trace of Mancini's Pink Panther score and the entirely new music he composed including the opening song and the opening theme music is, frankly, a masterpiece.

This is the strongest addition to the Pink Panther series which has no apparent flaws. One of the funniest films ever made.

Castle in the Sky (aka Laputa) movie review ★★★★★★★★☆☆

Castle In The Sky DVD capture gallery

★★★★★ ★★★☆☆
Animated epic (two hours long) from Japanese genius Hayao Miyazaki which is entertaining, delightful, surprising, thrilling, spectacular and brilliant from start to end. It occasionally loses the viewer with regard to the plot but that is its only weakness. Eight stars feels a bit mean but, I think, it is the right rating and that is an must-see eight stars.

The production design and artwork is unforgettable and is brilliantly animated. Especially telling are the number of small touches throughout which we may not see but add to the illusion. Things such as a plank flexing when Pazu catches Sheeta at the beginning and many more details that I cannot remember or didn't see all tell of the care of this undertaking.

While most people were introduced to anime through the impenetrable "Akira" or "Ghost in the Shell", this movie is timeless and accessible. This is not just a great Japanese animation movie, it is a great movie.

Batman Begins mini movie review ★★★★★★★★★☆

★★★★★ ★★★★☆
Quality return to form for the winged super-hero franchise. It hits highs (two of Batman's lines: "It's not what I am underneath, it's what I do that defines me" and "And you'll never have to" both made even cooler by Batman leaping off a building as a punctuation mark) nearly as high as Tim Burton's "Batman" but it doesn't have a Kim Basinger subplot that doesn't work and remains terrific throughout. Now there are four classic superhero movies: "Superman (1978)" remains the benchmark but this fits right in with "Batman (1989)" and "X2 (2003)".

DESCRIPTION
Billionaire Bruce Wayne, traumatized by the murder of his parents when he was a child, drops everything in the face of a humiliating realization about his lack of understanding of the 'real world'. He disappears, presumed dead by everyone in Gotham, and is taken under the wing of Ra's Al Ghul who heads up the League of Shadows, an underground organization devoted to ridding the world of injustice. Finding kinship and understanding, Wayne welcomes the training and both look forward to cleansing Gotham of evil.

Tadople mini movie review ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

★★★★★ ★★☆☆☆
Tackles the teen crush on an older woman, specifically a stepmother, with enough honesty, normalcy and insight to make this an interesting movie and doesn't forget to be entertaining and well-paced. It never becomes pretentious (despite quoting from Voltaire throughout) and doesn't outstay its welcome. Newcomer Aaron Stanford does well in the lead role. Poor picture quality (the movie was shot on video in a couple of weeks) doesn't negatively affect the movie, especially now that it will only be shown on television.

Buddy-buddy action comedy that has lots of ideas and certainly tries harder to be good than you may expect. Overall, the film feels like it takes too long to do anything and seems a bit of a mess. The action is good but the comedy is better. Second time around it is a lot of fun.

This is a very slick and professional package and, especially in the second half, feels more like a Hollywood action film rather than a traditional martial arts action film. With this episode in the series we see rather more gun battles than usual and the fight sequences are less imaginative than in some of Chan's other films. Perhaps this was done to broaden the appeal of the film. The swing from tongue-in-cheek humour to graphic and extreme violence is very stark. This helps emphasize the inhumanity of the villians and helps the danger that Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh's characters are in feel rather more life-threatening. That said, I prefer the fight sequences of the first two Police Story movies to the occasionally cold graphic violence on show here.

Stanley Tong directs pretty well with some flashy cameras angles and some well filmed stunts. He also paces the film well and during the mainly non-action first part of the film never really loses the viewer's interest.

Jackie Chan is quite brilliant in this film. His ability in marrying action sequences and humour is beyond question. In this movie, he is extremely funny and extremely agile but he also manages to look more angry and scared when need be. This, coupled to an increased realism and more bloody violence, helps make the situations he is in feel rather more dangerous and involves the viewer even more. Support is very good from an equally athletic Michelle Yeoh who performs some breathtaking stunts herself.

Mission: Impossible III movie review ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

★★★★★ ★★☆☆☆
Twenty years after break-out blockbuster "Top Gun" Tom Cruise remains top of the pile of Hollywood A-listers and this good summer action movie demonstrates why. It's disappointing to see the rogue agent thing again for the third time in three films, none of the action scenes hit the same heights as the previous two movies but J.J. Abrams successfully brings one of cinema's very-bestest-ever bad guys to the screen with the help of a revelatory Philip Seymour Hoffman, delivers quality team-based action and gives his star something interesting to do in-between the running bits.

"Paramount Pictures Presents" Owen Davian counting to ten before shooting Ethan Hunt's wife in the head while the desperate, disbelieving IMF agent looks on. "9!" Hunt realises Davian is going to shoot her. Hunt knows he is helpless. Hunt knows there will be no rescue, that there is nothing he can say. "10!" The gun fires. The match strikes. Schifrin's theme kicks in. It is a perfect opening. The audience stops holding their breath. The movie is never as good again. It's also probably the best single scene / opening in the 2006 blockbuster season.

It is a credit to Tom Cruise as producer / star that he has made good on his intentions for this series, that is, to bring in a new director to make a new movie in their own style each time. When J.J. Abrams was finally brought in to direct this third in the blockbuster series, he was allowed to retool the enterprise to his own tastes and the final movie feels just like his famed television productions "Lost" and, particularly, "Alias". This is both good and bad. More good, though.

Abrams brings in Hunt's home life, camaraderie, a Greg Grunberg cameo, and plenty of terrific throwaway ideas. He also manages to successfully suspend disbelief at the world of Mission: Impossible (something John Woo notably failed to do with his endless face masks that change your entire body weight and shape) and makes the gadgets and technology fun, not stupid.

He also delivers one of the most attention-grabbing pre-credits sequences in history (detailed above) which is done without special effects, explosions, or even music (if memory serves). He just takes two great actors (Philip Seymour Hoffman as Owen Davian and Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt) and puts them head-to-head in a situation our hero IMF agent Ethan Hunt cannot understand or win. The tension Abrams generates in this sequence is sensational and both his stars provide the goods drama-wise.

Paramount Pictures dropped Cruise at the end of the summer season despite him delivering this as the latest in a line of highly profitable movies that will continue to make money for many years to come. They cited Cruise's personal behaviour especially in relation to his then girlfriend / now wife Katie Holmes.


>> MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE
+ Pre-credits sequence. Wow!
+ Philip Seymour Hoffman.
+ Keri Russell (yummy) who also gets the coolest action moment in the whole movie when she catches a gun and, with one super slo-mo, super-smooth, impossibly brilliant movement, catches the gun, turns and takes down bad guys. Yay!
+ Baddie death. A great baddie deserves a great death and Hoffman gets one. Simple but great and the perfect end to a great bad guy.


>> MISSION: COULD DO BETTER
- Rogue-agent storyline. Again. For the third time in three films. Groan.
- Jackie Chan's staggering closing stunt from "Who Am I?" (the one where he literally runs down the sloping roof of a skyscraper) is revisited by Hollywood here but, if you've see Chan do the real thing, this verison underwhelmes. It has no build-up and not much believability. The first "Mission: Impossible" also borrowed from Chan ("Police Story III: Supercop") with the closing helicopter / train sequence but that managed to successfully throw money at the idea and came up with a great sequence.
- The action sequences are pretty forgettable.
- Doesn't really feel like a big-budget big-screen movie. I'd just been watching "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" prior to this and that feels like a big-screen production from frame one, reel one. This feels like a beautifully produced TV show and doesn't even feel like principal production travelled to Berlin, Vatican City or Shanghai.

Miami Vice (2006) mini movie review ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

★★★★★ ★★☆☆☆
Quality crime thriller that lost me a bit on the actual story (why does the mid-level bad guy sabotage his own shipment?) but is a serious, cool, great-looking movie. Everytime I watch a movie about 'organised' crime, and drug-smuggling in particular, I always wonder how on earth these people ever get any business done and their product to the consumer. Special mention for the teeth-rattling sound effect for the big sniper rifles.
