Three (2005)
Better than most low cost movies out there. Nice try!
"Three" is one of those few quality movies that will easily get ignored by people when compared with its big budget peers in the local DVD store... but if you are a fan of thriller and enjoy a good suspense, you CAN't miss out this one.
The whole setting of this movie is quite simple: a small island located somewhere in the middle of the sea, where three people got trapped. what really grips the audiences' attention is the uncertainty of the plot, and the complex feeling and relationship between those three people.
The beauty of this movie is: it provides the audience with a different angle to carefully observe humanity in such a simple environment. you'll discover love and hatred, loyalty and betrayal, thankfulness and vengeance, fate and karma, as the storyline develops you'll watch those elements mingled, intertwined, distorted and finally changed the fate of all three characters. The plot is so intense and got some twist that will keep you guessing till the end of the movie.
Billy Zane, Kelly Brook, Juan Pablo Di Pace, all three leading actors delivered impressive performance. Billy Zane is a really good actor, who also showed his talent in "sniper" and "titanic". Kelly Brook is really HOT and surely knows how to act. Juan Pablo Di Pace also did a fairly decent job as the handsome tour guide. Oh,and the directing is good too!
overall, i gave this movie 8/10. trust me, you'll love it!
D.E.B.S. (2004)
Sweet Little Teen Movie!
This movie never set out to be "the biggest hit ever" or "the best movie of the year". Also, it's not for those serious audiences and critics who are always trying to define a movie, analyze it, and tag it, giving it a serious meaning that suits their taste. what this movie tries to deliver is one and half hour of fun and some special touching moments, and i'd say it successfully achieved its goal.
Some might say it has resemblance with Charlie's Angel, some might say it lacks core strength, and some might hate it because the lead characters are lesbians...some of the accusations make sense, some doesn't. but when it comes to the part where Amy and Lucy finally get together, who cares about those accusations anymore? I have to say that Sara Foster & Jordana Brewster shines in this movie, both delivered a impressive performance and both are ... lovable. and some of the supporting cast are great too.
Go check this one out if you are into teen comedy and romance. Just sit back, relax and watch,u'll have fun. Guaranteed :) I give it 10 out of 10.
Montana (1998)
Great Movie!
Didn't expect much when i bought the DVD from a local Store a few days ago, actually the reason i chose this one was simply because there were no better choices. But...turns out i made a right choice.
You can find most elements of a typical gangster movie in this one: betray, love, hatred, friendship and bloody shootout ... but what makes Montana stand out is not the plot alone(Montana does have a well arranged smart plot that keep you surprised), what makes this one different is the STYLE.
The directing style, and the style of those cool actors.
The director makes the movie in a way that seems so real. real characters, real events and real humor. and most importantly, not only the leading characters, but every single one shines in this movie.
I especially liked Claire and her friend nick(sorry i might spell their name wrong), the trust and loyalty between them really impressed me, and...nick's really got style...hehe...he's the absolutely the cool guy. fast, reliable and sometimes he's nice(to Koo's wife, to ... the boss's girl(a hooker), BTW, i have to admit that she's also a fantastic actress)...
and those bad guys also deliver a good performance which in a way enhanced the whole move.
anyway, if you are interested in a different/special gangster movie, Montana is definitely your choice! i give it 9 out of 10!
