Unfortunately, the two soldiers of the Crusades was not aware that they face a task that would have proved far more terrible than a battle they've ever experienced.

For months already Alice (Milla Jovovich) to find the location of Arcadia who was reputedly the hiding place of human remains safe from virus attacks T which transforms humans into zombies, but Alice did not also find the location of Arcadia. There alleged that Arcadia is located somewhere in Alaska. Alice was almost in despair and thought that if she is the last remaining humans on Earth.

When resting in a beach Alice attacked a woman who turns out to be Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) who is under the effect of control devices made by the Umbrella Corporation who. Fortunately she managed to free Claire who apparently do not remember anything. Together they then drove to Los Angeles which turned out to be a prison that contains traces of human beings who stuck there.

When Alice and Claire land in jail, they both met Chris (Wentworth Miller) who claimed to know the exact location of Arcadia. Despite initial disbelief but she and Claire have no choice when the prison was raided herd zombies. The three of them and then escape from the advancing zombies and find the location of Arcadia.

Unfortunately, now find Arcadia who turned out was a cargo ship, the location is really just a trap made by Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts) to collect the human remains will he make the object of experimentation and Claire turns out to be one of the objects that survived the experiment Albert .

The fourth part of the franchise, Resident Evil is a result besutan director Paul W. S. Anderson from a script he wrote himself. This film marks the first Resident Evil is produced in 3D format. The film also became the first to enter more characters than the version of his video games into movies.

Although it has been made four times but in reality franchise Resident Evil is still able to attract visitors. The proof is in the first week of release, the film is successfully made large profits and perched on top of the list of movie box office in North America. This also means that there are still many people who want to watch Milla Jovovich zombie massacre though most film critics had no interest in this film.

Like most post-Apocalypse-themed action movie, the story offered by Paul W. S. Anderson passed Resident Evil: AFTERLIFE is considered standard. Do not expect too much because the film is indeed designed to be watched while eating popcorn. Even if there is a little scene will be missed, it will not affect much on the end result you will receive.

Precisely in acting strange Milla Jovovich who look less maximal. It could be after playing as much as when times Alice, Milla begins to lose 'passion'. Instead Milla game in A PERFECT Getaway and The Fourth Kind looks better than in this film. So it seems only the backbone of the success of this film is the visual side of it. Moreover, this film was made in the 3D version.

'SALT', Inter-State Conspiracy Stuck

Published on: Jumat, 27 Agustus 2010 // ,





Before officially became a member of the CIA, Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) has vowed to always be faithful to duty, honor and country, and the oath was later becomes a statement when all of a sudden there are people who claim that Evelyn is actually a Russian agent who has a mission to destroy America . Stuck a conspiracy, there was no choice except to fight alone for Evelyn to clear his good name.

Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski) who are being questioned mentioned that indeed there is a mission called the Day X. This mission aims to kill the Russian president who is visiting the United States and who shall serve as the killer is Evelyn Salt. Results of analysis of brain wave state that Orlov was honest, which means Salt double agent. Aware that in jeopardy, Salt and then fled. At the same time, Orlov also escaped from the CIA and further strengthen the notion that Salt is involved.

The next day, Salt successfully entered the church that used to last tribute to the late vice-president of the United States. At the same time the President of Russia also attended the show. Unexpectedly, Salt and then kill the President. Instead of fleeing, instead of Salt but later gave himself up to escape again. In an instant, Salt, initially was a CIA agent became the number one fugitive in the United States. Who was Evelyn Salt? Does his past while living in the Soviet Union is part of all this?

Everyone knows that Angelina Jolie is beautiful and it is inevitably one of the charms of this film. But make no mistake, not only that which would be exploited by Phillip Noyce from this film. SALT is an action film but has a different touch with most action movies are crisp but never made full. Of texts written Kurt Wimmer and Brian Helgeland, Phillip is able to turn it into a spectacle that makes curious but at the same tense because the action presented.

In a way, from beginning to end, Angelina Jolie almost never stopped to draw breath. One scene is very tightly coupled to reduce the tension does not seem one bit. But when the eyes are pampered with a series of scenes earlier, there are still unanswered questions, "Who is Salt?" That's why this film so interesting.

About acting, this is not drama, and did not we can not demand more. But globally, both Angelina, Liev Schreiber, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, played quite lovely. If anyone feels less relevant perhaps is the attempt to raise again the issue of cold war that is already stale. Because it is also 'touch' Middle East and then inserted.

'THE TWILIGHT SAGA: Eclipse', When Options Must Created

Published on: Selasa, 06 Juli 2010 // , ,





Although for the moment hostilities between Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) can be muted but the problems faced by Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) apparently has not been completed. The school year is almost over and the Bella must immediately make a choice.

Hostilities between the vampire and wolfpack are already hundreds of years old and can not be just an end but Bella is also not possible to choose between Edward and Jacob. Bella loves Edward, but he also did not want to lose Jacob as a friend while the two men in this life as though Bella did not get along. Even if there are to make the atmosphere a bit quiet area is just an agreement between the vampire and the wolfpack that remain held until recently.

At the moment already unpleasant atmosphere like this, new problems arise. Vampire again spread terror. Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) 0 killed several inhabitants of the city of Seattle with the intention to build armies to fight the newborns Cullen family and the wolfpack that protect Bella. Bella war within itself also increasingly raged. He must soon make a decision between the human remains or to follow Edward and changed into a vampire.

This is not the first time director David Slade's dealing with vampires. The director also did this before the movie about these blood-sucking creature, though with different nuances. This time David did not just make a vampire movie, but translating the works of Stephenie Meyer's popular novel into a visual form and it is not easy work.

The previous two films not directed by David Slade and this should make many compromises. On the one hand he must be able to carry the full version of her novel to fans of the popular novel was not disappointed while on the other hand it also have creativity as a director. Another problem is that it can not be too much change the tone of the two previous sections.

Fortunately David Slade's masterful enough had concocted a variety of requirements in the fourth section, entitled THE TWILIGHT SAGA: Eclipse. Some like the style from the second part of shooting from the air and the use of handheld camera that makes it feel more dynamic image is maintained while the depiction of the city of Seattle who was hit by outbreaks of vampires as David Slade's own interpretation of what he can from the experience of work on 30 DAYS OF NIGHT.

Timing feels better than the second part that feels slow though can not be denied if the dialogue between the players is still not much different from the two films that preceded it. Can not blame it because this movie was made for consumption of the teenager who clearly did not want a dialogue that is too heavy. And because of this third part is incidentally the most part the production cost, it certainly became more servings a good visual of the two previous sections.

'Clash of the Titans', Battle of The Gods

Published on: Rabu, 14 April 2010 // , ,





Although he is a descendant of the god Zeus (Liam Neeson), Perseus (Sam Worthington) was raised among the people and never know if he has the power of god. Perseus could not even do much when his family became victims of malignancy Hades (Ralph Fiennes), the Dark Gods, which sought to control the entire universe.

Argus islanders began to disobey the gods. They burned the temple, threw down the statues and this made the gods angry at Olympia. Hades had come down to teach a lesson to those who are ungrateful. Hades asks the victim. He took Andromeda (Alexa Davalos) and threatened to remove the Kraken monster Argus if citizens remain defiant.

Unfortunately Hades one vote enemy. Perseus who can not take it anymore seeing Hades act that killed his adoptive parents decided to fight back. Together with some soldiers, Perseus set off to find a way to beat the Kraken and saved Andromeda. This mission is not an easy mission. Perseus had to face many of the natural inhabitants of the darkness before they could find the Andromeda.

Clash of the Titans Warner Bros. released. This is actually a remake of a film titled the same that appeared in 1981. The basic idea is to revive this old story in a visual form that is more acceptable to consumers today. This means, there would be many changes made except to improve the visual side, and it will not be too difficult because the current film technology was obviously much more advanced than in 1981.

In the matter of visual, Clash of the Titans this was not experienced many problems. Presented in two formats, 2D and 3D, CGI technology used in this film is far more realistic than the original version. Unfortunately, it can be expected from this movie. The rest was not much to see.

Indeed there are many big names attached as a support in this film. Sam Worthington is indeed on the rise is selected as the main character while Worthington was still there behind a row of names like Gemma Arterton, Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson who seemed deliberately placed to become a 'guarantee' that the film is hit when released later.

'MY NAME IS KHAN', Stuck Impact Event 911

Published on: Senin, 08 Maret 2010 // ,






Can not be denied if the September 11, 2001 had a major impact for the lives of Americans. This tragic event makes an existing gap between American citizens with immigrant Asian and Middle Eastern Muslims became more widely. Rizwan Khan, (Shahrukh Khan) is one of the immigrants who are victims of the impact of these 911 events. Rizwan is a young Muslim from India who suffer from Asperger's syndrome, a disorder that makes it difficult to interact with most people. Rizwan then decided to move to San Francisco, United States, to try his fortune in a country whose people say this is a dream land. In San Francisco is also Rizwan met Mandira (Kajol), a Hindu woman from India, who also lived there.

Despite opposition from both families, two young men decided to get married and start their own businesses. In the dream began to materialize, the tragic events of 11 September to destroy the dreams they were both beautiful. Mandira who could not bear called terrorists and this makes Mandira marriage Rizwan and messy end. With the aim to retake the hearts of women, whom she loved it, Rizwan then take a big decision to travel around the United States. Arriving at LAX airport, Los Angeles, Rizwan officer arrested for behavior that is considered a little strange suspicious actions by the officers.

Hollywood saw the eyes of Pop. Experience that the audience would feel while watching Shahrukh Khan showing off his acting ability. Rarely is there a movie that can do this. It could be Karan Johar, the director, tried to borrow a trick that is used when working on Danny Boyle Slumdog Millionaire but that's not why because Karan presented in a way that is fresh. Karan Johar capable of displaying a view of America from the immigrants from India and apparently that's the key to success Karan when creating this film. The issue presented is not new issues. Discrimination, fear, love, kindness all mixed well by Karan in a 161-minute length movies this. Intervention Shahrukh Khan and Kajol would not be ignored because these two people can play brilliantly without the need to look excessive. Deserves a thumbs up.

'SHUTTER ISLAND', in The Mysterious Case of Isolated

Published on: Minggu, 07 Maret 2010 // ,





Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) are the only two U.S. marshal who is sent to an island in the Massachusetts area called Shutter Island to investigate a missing woman named Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer).

Shutter Island is actually an island that served as hospitals for the care of the inmates who suffer from mental disorders. Before disappearing, she had left a message that says 'What happened to the 67 patients'. Teddy sure that this message has nothing to do with the loss of Rachel and determined to explore this case.

Unfortunately, not all interested parties resolve this case. In fact, the mental hospital there refused to give assistance. Teddy finally felt suspicious that the hospitals involved in a case and did not want her in because it would reveal something that has long been hidden. Unfortunately, Teddy was not among those who easily give up. Coupled with a storm that covered the possibility to leave the island, there was no choice except for Teddy's investigation continues.

Published on: Sabtu, 06 Maret 2010 // ,





Initial idea to make Universal Soldier does look promising but then proved that this role is the product machine fails to be a substitute army, the government decided to stop the project was millions of dollars. Unfortunately, the spread of nuclear threats by Dr. Colin (Kerry shale) to make the government was forced to turn back this project.

'VALENTINE'S DAY', When Love Over The Earth

Published on: Sabtu, 13 Februari 2010 // ,





Since centuries, dated February 14 was always celebrated as a day of love. People call it Valentine's Day. With a variety of ways people then try to connect this special day with some affection to the lover or the friends and family. Without the conscious, behind this special day there is a perceived burden of the people at February 14, getting closer. As February 14, the closer, people started to prepare themselves for making this day so special. They do not want this one day of missed just like a typical day and during the short time it started getting a load on his shoulders even heavier. At least that is experienced by the residents of Los Angeles depicted in this film.

There was a soldier who deliberately took leave to return home from duty in Iraq while at the same time Holden Bristow (Bradley Cooper) is also preparing to celebrate Valentine's Day with his gay partner. Reed Bennett (Ashton Kutcher) on the other side wants to take advantage of this special day to apply for his girlfriend, Morley Clarkson (Jessica Alba), but he finally realized that the real Julia Berlison (Jennifer Garner) is the woman he loved for so long. Estelle (Shirley MacLaine), after a long kept secret, finally decided to tell him that years ago he had an affair while Yakksi Kara (Jessica Biel) to Valentine's Day was also getting closer to finding a date.

There are two interesting things from the film is VALENTINE'S DAY. First, because the title was so specific, if the film is still relevant after the date of February 14 later? Second, because so many stars are placed in this film, what does this mean another film production had to stop because almost all the stars had to shoot this film? Apart from that, this movie was not giving anything other than a row of big names who were his supporters. Too much plot in this movie. Films with this concept is interesting. Look at CRASH if you do not believe. The problem is to draw on so many stories with each character is not an easy task. Few have failed then the risk becomes very large. If the script is not strong enough and the screen time the character is not long enough so that people will not be a character that has a dimension intact.

Red thread between each character and each of these plots should also be strong enough so that there is a unified story with the message of the director. If not then the idea will never conveyed. It will be more effective if the film breaks into several romantic comedies, and may be the result even more good will.

'Alvin and the Chipmunks: The SQUEAKQUEL', Back to School

Published on: Rabu, 23 Desember 2009 // ,





Despite reaching popularity does not mean that education was useless then. That's what I think of David Seville (Jason Lee) who sent Alvin (Justin Long) and her friends to a school to re-learn, something that had never occurred to Alvin. With a heavy heart had to Alvin, Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Theodore (Jesse McCartney) will follow David's even though they did not want to go back to school. In a short time Alvin and her friends felt isolated in the middle of the man who was in this school and it was the third ordeal for this chipmunk.

At the same time, Ian Hawke (David Cross) who failed to get Alvin and the Chipmunks try to make up for this loss by finding a group of animals that can sing and dance like Alvin and his friends. Ian search ended when she discovered The Chipettes whose members are Brittany (Anna Faris, Jeanette (Christina Applegate), and Eleanor (Amy Poehler). Ian plans to bring The Chipettes to the top of fame like Alvin and his two friends. End of year holidays is a good time to release the film consumption of children as Alvin and the Chipmunks: THE SQUEAKQUEL. The reason is simple. This film will not be too interesting for adults but instead would be healthy for consumption of children. And at the end of a long holiday this year is the savior of this film, such as from the failure range compete in the movies box office.

For those who belong to a teenager or even an adult, this film did not offer anything. The idea is too simple a story that served as the CGI was far from the word stunning. If there is no reason for them to watch this movie could be just a matter of nostalgia alone. Compared with the first part released in 2007, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The SQUEAKQUEL is as exclusive to the children. Problem filling voice and acting, there is a problem. The voice actor and the first part will be retained in the second part of this and they seem to have quite mastered the field. It sounded casual but David Cross is acting as Ian Hawke and Wendie Malick acting as Dr. Rubin is seen more prominently than others.

In contrast, for the children of this movie could be a very interesting entertainment. At the very least, we should be grateful because at the time the film has become the industry there is still a decent film into consumption of children.

'ZOMBIELAND', Survival Of The Living Corpse Raid

Published on: Jumat, 11 Desember 2009 // ,






As the plague-stricken world that turns humans into zombies or zombie only a few people who managed to survive even in a way that was easy. Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) and Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) are two of the survivors were. Columbus was actually a coward, but when it comes to matters of life and death, there was no choice but to endure the bite of these zombies. Tallahassee, on the other hand, is a maniac who was enjoying every moment of the battle against the zombies are. Although different characters but both butcher is compact like a zombie army.

We explore every region in search of a safe location for them to live it, both fighters are met Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) who found a unique way to survive the onslaught of the living dead. Although initially these four people have different views and both refused to budge, but finally they had to choose between unified against the zombies or become targets of these man-eaters. Do not get me wrong. Although the title of this movie ZOMBIELAND, this movie was not exactly fully as a horror or thriller movies. In fact, to be honest, the comedy of this movie actually is the pivot of the film actually works is Ruben Fleischer. But do not be too disappointed because the thriller elements are still there, and certainly more zombie than human characters in this film.

Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese as scriptwriter seems to have really weighed between the horror and the humor of this film. It's not all the jokes fresh sound to the ear but at least not too stale, too. This formula seems precisely what makes this film so interesting ZOMBIELAND. The atmosphere tensed up quite well as Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg also have enough space to display the ridiculous side of this film. If elements of humor and horror is quite balanced, it feels less characterizations are evenly split. At least two male characters in this film have a larger portion of the women. Unfortunately it because it actually Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin have enough ability to perform better.

And (Robin Williams) and Charlie (John Travolta) are two good friends who also are partners. Many of those who have spent together but there is one thing that was never included in their dictionaries: the importance of family and what is the purpose of this life. One time, Vicki (Kelly Preston), ex-wife and came and brought the news that made Dan is the worst news he ever received. Vicky says that so far, Vicky and Dan actually has had two twins. Unfortunately, Vicky asked Dan to take care of their twins plus a second pet dog boy.

Do not know what emotion, and only one solution: to contact Charlie, his best friend. Two people who did not know how to communicate with these young children were forced to do anything to make the two children and a dog is happy. Although this task must be exhausting Dan and Charlie, at the end of the adventure, the two middle-aged men are getting an enlightened about the true meaning of life. Name John Travolta and Robin Williams have usually been able to be guaranteed a quality movie. The ability of two actors acting more or less it's contemporaries can not be underestimated. Look at their track record is pretty impressive though here and there there are some movies that was not too good, too. Can imagine what if these two excellent actors to join in the same movie.

When it comes to supporting actor is fine, so that was the problem now is the script and directing. When the two factors that have been done properly then nothing that prevents this film became one of the best films. Unfortunately that's exactly what did not happen in a comedy film titled this OLD DOGS. Even actor John Travolta and classmate Robin Williams also can not seem to do much to raise the prestige of this movie. Clearly, the idea of the story is hardly 'fresh' as the process of transforming ideas into manuscript form seemed to not go smoothly. As a result, while the joke was tasteless scene that was supposed to be moving not too biting.

OLD DOGS This is the work of Walter Becker fourth as director. Before working on this comedy project Walter had worked with John Travolta in the movie Wild Hogs, but strangely, instead of getting mature even OLD DOGS is virtually no better than Wild Hogs. Unfortunately it is installed when considering the two actors are that good.

G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra

Published on: Senin, 24 Agustus 2009 // ,
M.A.R.S. managed to make a biological weapon is very dangerous and name nanomites. James McCullen (Christopher Eccleston) and then ordered two NATO soldiers, Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) to escort a nanomites this bag from falling into the hands of people who are wrong.

G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA

Unfortunately on the way, Duke and Ripcord ambushed by a pack of mercenaries led by Baronness (Sienna Miller). Losses in the number and armament, Duke and Ripcord almost tragic fate if only General Hawk (Dennis Quaid) and his army came to help. But despite that, the bag still nanomites captured Baronness and his friends. General Hawk and Duke then invited to join the Ripcord elite troops that he forms a team of super soldiers he called the GI Joe. Feeling responsible for the nanomites now in the hands of a group of terrorists and revenge for the defeat of his old enemy, Baronness, Duke was willing to join with the GI Joe.

G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA

Now, along with Scarlett (Rachel Nichols), Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and the GI team Another Joe, Duke and Ripcord had to work hard chasing Baronness and all members of the Cobra organization that wishes to use this nanomites to control the entire world by sowing misery and fear. Film G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA was created based franchise toys GI Joe: A Real American Hero, produced by Hasbro between 1982 and 1994. In his version of the toy, there are about 500 characters in length and about 250 vehicles were released to the market and this film tries to give a visualization of the core characters that appear in this toy line.

Like understood that G.I. Joe is a legend, director Stephen Sommers tried to make this movie the story line as close as possible to the facts contained in this franchise. In general, this movie is like the extension of the franchise that started from toy products to be made this cartoon version. This fact is clearly going to be a gift for the die-hard fans of this franchise.

G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA

There are few things that make a Stephen Sommers 'successful' adaptation of this franchise is the selection of the cast who was quite capable of acting for a film that really did not need acting ability. Second, Stephen Sommers able to present a different experience for the audience. That is, the audience was brought to a close look at the action figures fight their idol up close. Fight choreography is not only interesting but made viewers can also see clearly 'what they are doing'.

Stephen Sommers is also carrying a stack of high-tech gadgets and combat vehicles like the toy and the cartoon version and made this movie so much closer to the original source. Although classified as an action movie with high blood pressure, but Sommers kept her 'friendly' for the children to remember this movie must be signed in PG-13 category. This means that, although the action is violent action, but you will not see any blood spilled like the SAW movies for example.

Unfortunately the existing surplus is not balanced by a good script, too. It could be said that the idea of this film's story is very simple, almost cartoon story ideas that duration approximately 30 minutes. Time left only be filled by a series of actions to meet the quota of action to be called a feature film.

Not enough characters to be explored so that the actors did not have room to make the characters feel they perankan 'lives. Dialogue practically absent and replaced with a series of catch phrases like "Damn, that ninja's fast!" or "Dead guys do not breakdance" for example. But apart from that, it still G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA it is a film that 'entertaining'.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Published on: Sabtu, 08 Agustus 2009 // ,

Wolverine, fan favorite of the X-Men universe in both comic books and film, gets his own movie vehicle with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a tale that reaches way, way back into the hairy mutant's story. Somewhere in the wilds of northwest Canada in the early 1800s, two boys grow up amid violence: half-brothers with very special powers. Eventually they will become the near-indestructible warriors (and victims of a super-secret government program) known as Wolverine and Sabretooth, played respectively by Hugh Jackman (returning to his role) and Liev Schreiber (new to the scene). It helps enormously to have Schreiber, an actor of brawny skills, as the showiest villain; the guy can put genuine menace into a vocal inflection or a shift of the eyes.

Danny Huston is the sinister government operative whose experiments keep pullin' Wolverine back in, Lynn Collins is the woman who shares a peaceful Canadian co-existence with our hero when he tries to drop out of the program, and Ryan Reynolds adds needed humor, at least for a while. The fast-paced early reels give an entertaining kick-off to the Wolverine saga, only to slow down when a proper plot must be put together--but isn't that perpetually the problem with origin stories? And despite a cool setting, the grand finale is a little hemmed in by certain plot essentials that must be in place for the sequels, which may be why characters do nonsensical things.

So, this one is fun while it lasts, if you're not looking for a masterpiece, or an explanation for Wolverine's facial grooming. --Robert Horton

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" strongly succeeds in conveying the pure "testosterone-filled" masculine energy of the character, and the overall essence of the character - his conflicted journey as he strives to become more than what he has been, and some of the key emotional relationships in his past. The filmmakers have wisely chosen to streamline 20+ years of needless published exposition & contrivances - in order to focus on the strong CORE of the character, which is what has "hooked" readers and moviegoers for the past 34 years

Logan / Wolverine is not the "deepest" or "most profound" character ever to grace the printed page, or the cinema screen. The essence of the character is primal, direct, but never simple or two-dimensional. But, in the words of the fictional character himself, in his niche, he is "the best there is at what he does." And more importantly, so is the Driving Force behind this film: Hugh Jackman.

Terminator Salvation

College trendsetter Putri is determined to win back her sports-mad ex-boyfriend by turning into a futsal heroine herself.

Gol &Gincu; is a wonderful entry into Malaysian culture. Partly a film about "girl-power" - a group of young women form a "futsal" team and is reminiscent of and inevitably compared to movies like `Bend it Like Becham.' Set in urban Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the movie centers on Putri as she changes over time from prissy fashion princess to futsal champion. In the process of this transformation Putri learns about self worth, the ever-changing meaning of love, and life's important values like loyalty and perseverance. What began as a quest to win back her soccer-crazy ex-boyfriend by coming into his world - the lessons learned transcend the arguably juvenile goal - no pun intended. Bravely overcoming prejudice and ridicule, and slowly but surely learning to appreciate the diversity of and in women'Blogger: Asian Movie Store - Buat Entris sport Putri begins to find her place in the milieu. It is interesting from a media and sociological perspective that the movie has spun off into a TV series. It is light, it is accessible but it is also a very profound look into a country with a limited international output.

The plotline may sound familiar: Two mismatched cops are assigned as reluctant partners to solve a crime. Culturally they are complete opposites, and they quickly realize they can't stand each other. One (Jackie Chan) believes in doing things by the book. He is a man with integrity and nerves of steel. The other (Chris Tucker) is an amiable rebel who can't stand authority figures. He's a man who has to do everything on his own, much to the displeasure of his superior officer, who in turn thinks this cop is a loose cannon but tolerates him because he gets the job done.

Directed by Brett Ratner, Rush Hour doesn't break any new ground in terms of story, stunts, or direction. It rehashes just about every "buddy" movie ever made--in fact, it makes films such as Tango and Cash seem utterly original and clever by comparison. So, why did this uninspired movie make over $120 million at the box office? Was the whole world suffering from temporary insanity? Hardly. The explanation for the success of Rush Hour is quite simple: chemistry. The casting of veteran action maestro Jackie Chan with the charming and often hilarious Chris Tucker was a serendipitous stroke of genius.

Fans of Jackie Chan may be slightly disappointed by the lack of action set pieces that emphasize his kung-fu craft. On the other hand, those who know the history of this seasoned Hong Kong actor will be able to appreciate that Rush Hour was the mainstream breakthrough that Chan had deserved for years. Coupled with the charismatic scene-stealer Tucker, Chan gets to flex his comic muscles to great effect. From their first scenes together to the trademark Chan outtakes during the end credits, their ability to play off of one another is a joy to behold, and this mischievous interaction is what saves the film from slipping into the depths of pitiful mediocrity. --Jeremy Storey
