I watched 'The Gift' over the week-end on TV, it`s a few years old but had never saw it before, Cate Blanchette is good as usual, she plays a widow living in a small sort of red-neck town making a living by reading Tarot Cards, she gets caught up in a murder investigation through her `gift`, it`s very good. Never heard of this one Elly. It sounds interesting.

This is no new movie but one of my favourites ... I watched "DESPERADO" with Antonio Banderas tonight. It was on TV and of course I had to see it AGAIN. In case you haven't heard of it, this is a bit about the movie and its making. Sinking us back into the gritty life of a tormented guitar player, Rodriguez sets the stage for an amazing film. This time, Antonio Banderas steps into the role of the troubled Mariachi as he continues his quest to rid Mexico of the corrupted drug lord that destroyed his life. Using friends like Steve Buscemi, he finds the town that is harboring his villain named Bucho. The Mariachi's form of questioning normally leads to several dead, a cinematic gun fight, and some classic Sergio Leone verbiage. Unfortunately, our hero does not escape unscathed and finds himself being healed by the likes of Carolina, a bookstore beauty played by Salma Hayek. Together they build a steamy relationship that will help our Mariachi reach his final destination. As more gunfights, explosions, and blood rock this independent blockbuster, we soon discover a hidden secret about our hero, one that could change the course of his destination. This was an impressive second outing by director Robert Rodriguez. While I was worried that Hollywood would have drained too much of his imagination, it was instead the direct opposite. Hollywood gave him the tools to build an amazing 'sequel'. While different, yet the similar to his independent feature 'El Mariachi', Rodriguez sets the stage for a roller coaster film that makes you hold your breath and pray for more. He has taken elements from his first film and expanded them to new levels. Banderas is perfect as our 'new' Mariachi and the chemistry between him and Salma Hayek cannot be contested. Banderas' ability to control this enraged man was spectacular. They worked as our two main focuses of this film. Coupled with some humorous moments with Steve Buscemi and Quentin Tarantino, this film successfully stood on its own two feet thanks not just to the action, but the actors in their respective roles. Finally, Rodriguez is a genius behind the camera. He is able to give us exactly the right amount of action, drama, and comedy for our liking. He is the proverbial salad bar of cinema. While giving us this deeply rooted character hell-bent on destroying this drug lord, he also lets our imaginations wander with his comical and cartoonish action sequences. The scenes of men flying through the air after being shot are somewhat comical, yet completely Rodriguez. He has successfully created this world that is all uniquely his own. Rodriguez has done this by giving the world depth and outside characters. He builds suspense and also suspicion all at the same time. Overall, an amazing film (in case you haven't noticed) that should be found in nearly everyone's film collection. This is one of Joseph's favorites! I like it too. We own a copy of this one.

"The Family Stone" starring Diane Keaton and Craig T. Nelson. On a scale from 1 to 10 I'd give it a 4, 5 tops. It was funny in places but really very predictable.

I watched 'Dear Frankie' this afternoon and really liked it, would recommend it, a really good unpredictable film about normal everyday people. and it has Gerard Butler #ssmile# Plot Summary for Dear Frankie (2004) Nine-year-old Frankie and his single mum Lizzie have been on the move ever since Frankie can remember, most recently arriving in a seaside Scottish town. Wanting to protect her deaf son from the truth that they've run away from his father, Lizzie has invented a story that he is away at sea on the HMS Accra. Every few weeks, Lizzie writes Frankie a make-believe letter from his father, telling of his adventures in exotic lands. As Frankie tracks the ship's progress around the globe, he discovers that it is due to dock in his hometown. With the real HMS Accra arriving in only a fortnight, Lizzie must choose between telling Frankie the truth or finding the perfect stranger to play Frankie's father for just one day... I'm going to have to find that one! It sounds like a good one for me.

At the weekend I mamanged to see "THE LEGEND OF ZORRO"...I loved the first "Zorro" movie and I think that Banderas/Zeta-Jones are a good choice for the parts of Don Alejandro and Elena de la Vega... Now, I wasn't disappointed by part 2 at all. It's a great full speed action comedy with many elements like in the "Indiana Jones" movies as well as a bit of the dramaturgy of James Bond...a lot of action ( excellent fighting scenes ) spiced with humour and thrill. Maybe this is no coincidence because the director is Martin Campbell who is the director of "Golden Eye" and the new Bond movie "Casino Royale". On a scale from 0 - 10 I'd rate it with "8"...and absolutely worth seeing if you like this kind of movies. I agree dreamy. Any one that enjoyed the first Zorro movie won't be dissapointed with The Legend of Zorro. My rating would be a 7.5.
