ALEX CROSS
CRIME DRAMA THRILLER
Tyler Perry (writer,
director of Madea movies) stars as Alex Cross, homicide detective psychologist
must find a psycho, lonely assassin named Picasso (Matthew Fox). If you can believe that Tyler Perry can be
Sherlock Holmes for most of the movie and Shaft near the end you will enjoy
it. Give Perry an A for effort for
trying to be an actor other than in his movies. Matthew Fox is good as the
killer. Do you know any happy, social
assassins? The movie is not doing well
in the theaters but it will do much better on video.
ARGO
DRAMA/THRILLER
This movie is
based on a real story of six American diplomatic personnel rescued from Iran by
Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) by pretending they are making a fantasy film. It
makes you wonder how close Hollywood and the CIA really are. Sounds like a
comedy and there are very funny moments in it but it is very serious and at
times intense!!! The cast is great
including Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), John Goodman and Alan Arkin. Ben Affleck was born to direct and he does an
excellent job. An Oscar nomination is in
his future. There is not a lot of action
but much suspense. Recommended!
SKYFALL
ACTION/THRILLER
The movie is the
23rd Bond movie and it delivers like the others. Daniel Craig is James Bond for the third
time. The plot is about a vengeful
former MI6 agent called Silva played Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men won
an Oscar) who wants to get M played Judi Dench. Judi Dench is great as M, tough with a tender
side very rarely shown. Mr. Bardem’s Silva a bad guy and there is a scene where
he flirts with Bond!! He is not an
average adversary.
The opening sequence is spectacular!! The two new Bond women are Naomie Harris as
Eve and Berenice Marolohe as Serverine. Craig’s Bond is more like James Bourne
than the traditional James Bond, the superhero guy who slaughters the villains
and sleeps with the ladies. When you see
the film the title is explained. It is
better than the last movie Quantum of Solace.
