Duplicity
Duplicity :: movie review
Well I finally got around to viewing Duplicity, Starring Julia Roberts and Clive Owen as a team of spies that after a one night stand decide to pull off a big time scam on a couple of warring corporate giants, and as the story flashes back and forth between different times lines we get to see how this story develops. Well that in a nutshell is the best short synopsis I could come up with without giving too much of this story away. The chemistry between Roberts and Owen is there just a little off, maybe I read it wrong, but there are a few times that I was wondering if they were acting or just picking up a pay-check. With that said there seems to be allot of movies these days that are filmed in Europe and this film is no exception. There are some stunning views of Rome and New York as well of some stuff that was film in the Bahamas which add an air of realism to the fact that the characters in this film are both world traveling secret agents.
The International : movie review : Clive Owens
The International : movie review : Clive Owens is an Interpol agent (Louis Salinger) that is a working on case in Europe to uncover the reason a large bank is buying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of missile parts. With the help of Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts) he finds that all of his leads keep dying and the story progresses into an intense thriller with plot twists and turns.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Vicky and Cristina are on summer holiday in Barcelona Spain; both women are in search of something different. One to see the sites of Spain to complete her master’s degree, the other a fantasy of wild love that she feels she can find in the two months they are going to be in Europe. First let me say that I really don’t like Woody Allen films, the narcotic, self absorbed charter he plays in every film irritates me, but as a director he is coming into his own and improving with every frame of film.

Powder Blue movie review 2009
Powder Blue movie review 2009
Powder Blue starts with Jack Doheny (Ray Liotta) standing on the beach at dawn, he swims into the gray, dark ocean and you get the sense this going to be an intense film. This dialog driven story was talked about in the press for the fact that Jessica Biel plays a stripper, but that is a sideshow to the deep and moving plot. This ensemble cast plays a set of seemingly random people that have their lives collide on Christmas in Los Angeles. Eddie Redmayne portrays a mortician who falls in love with her with Rose-Johnny (Jessica Biel) after finding her lost dog that he runs over with his hearse.
THE GUITAR : actionmoviereviews
As a guitar player myself, I developed an instant liking for the premise for the film. Hell you get an empty large New York loft, an actress with super model looks, and a couple of Marshall Stacks and a statocaster electric guitar, You will defiantly get some beautiful imagery. This is the story of a woman told she is going to die soon and goes on a spending spree, complete with dream lodging and furnishings as she changes everything in her life.
