Daniel Craig allays any fear that he was just a one-Martini Bond, with this, his second 007 adventure, the perplexingly named Quantum Of Solace.I've got to admit that this didn't excite me as much as Casino Royale and the villain is especially underpowered. But Craig personally has the chops, as they say in Hollywood. He's made the part his own, every inch the coolly ruthless http://holly-woods.blogspot.com/2008/11/quantum-of-solace-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083995086632042902.post-3772491945449053863Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:16:00 +00002008-10-28T20:58:23.602+05:30Alicia KeysDakota FanningFox Searchlight PicturesGina Prince-BythewoodJennifer HudsonNate ParkerQueen LatifahSophie Okonedo Paul BettanyThe Secret Life of Bees ReviewTristan WildsThe Secret Life of Bees belongs in part to the troubled genre of “magical Negro” stories, in which a white protagonist is somehow enlightened or rescued by a particularly special black person (Jim in Huck Finn is an early example). But happily, Sue Monk Kidd's novel and its adaptation by Gina Prince-Bythewood avoids stereotyping and easy answers, presenting a coming-of-age story that goes easy onhttp://holly-woods.blogspot.com/2008/10/secret-life-of-bees-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083995086632042902.post-8176412815402813265Mon, 01 Sep 2008 03:59:00 +00002008-09-01T09:32:19.314+05:3020th Century FoxBabylon A.D. ReviewLambert WilsonMark StrongMathieu KassovitzMelanie ThierryMichelle YeohVin DieselBabylon A.D. is Vin Diesel’s entire career in microcosm. He starts out as a gritty, amoral, selfish murderer a la Pitch Black, gets in a few car chases, pulls off some X-Games stunts, attempts some dramatic stuff which never really works, gets all sci-fi with confusing futuristic plot exposition, and by the end he’s morphed into The Pacifier, a glorified babysitter who has given up his guns for http://holly-woods.blogspot.com/2008/09/babylon-ad-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083995086632042902.post-1538289087665059175Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:42:00 +00002008-08-22T02:14:03.518+05:30Ben StillerBill HaderBrandon T.

It doesn’t just present jokes on the screen and then wait for you to laugh, it shoves comedy dynamite up your nose and then giggles while it lights the fuse. Ben Stiller has created a wicked satirical attack on Hollywood, one that pulls no punches and takes a weirdly dark journey deep into the heart of blockbuster filmmaking.

Starring a box shaped little robot with more than a passing resemblance to E.T., WALL-E is quite possibly the cutest Pixar hero http://holly-woods.blogspot.com/2008/08/wall-e-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083995086632042902.post-2205350329616866236Wed, 06 Aug 2008 05:12:00 +00002008-08-06T10:47:53.030+05:30Aaron EckhartChistopher NolanChristian BaleEric RobertsGary OldmanHeath LedgerMaggie GyllenhaalMichael CaineNestor CarbonellThe Dark Knight ReviewWarner Bros. PicturesForget the great things you’ve heard about The Dark Knight. No matter how lavish the praise or how determined the hyperbole, it’s all understatement. The Dark Knight is I suppose the greatest superhero movie ever made, but it’s so far beyond the limited men in tights genre that attempting to compare it with movies like Spider-Man, Superman, or even Batman Begins is almost laughable.

I never thought this movie would happen. The first Hellboy wasn’t exactly a box office smash and let’s face it, selling a superhero movie about a character who looks like Satan was never a sure thing to begin with. Yet I’ve never been happier to be wrong. The original movie showed tremendous potential, the character of Hellboy was flat out fantastic, needing only a betterhttp://holly-woods.blogspot.com/2008/07/hellboy-ii-golden-army-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083995086632042902.post-5543239373492635590Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:39:00 +00002008-07-11T19:12:37.908+05:30Gwyneth PaltrowHilary SwankIron Man ReviewJeff BridgesParamount PicturesRobert Downey Jr.Samuel L.

Ironically it’s early on in the story when Tony Stark, the man inside the bright red suit, is still a carefree playboy and globe-trotting arms merchant that he has the most edge. It’s there that Favreau’s superhero movie works best, http://holly-woods.blogspot.com/2008/07/iron-man-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0
