HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE DOGMA FROM DVDTALK

The Movie: I remember when I first read the script on the internet for "Dogma". It was a original, wild piece of work and kind of like a great novel, I kept reading it till I'd finished it. Although I kind of enjoy the final product, it's not quite as entertaining as it read on the page. Although director Kevin Smith's movies have always been talky, "Dogma" goes on a little too long at over two hours for its own good.

This movie is about Nancy Drew going to Los Angeles California with her father, who was going there on business. While she was there she happened upon a mystery that involved a murdered movie actress, and her daughter. Nancy found out her her daughter was, when nobody even knew that the actress had any kids, and the actress's daughter inherited all of the actress's money. At the end of the movie, once they got back home, Ned and Nancy kissed for what I think was their first actual kiss, and right after their quick kiss Nancy's father told her that she had a call from some people in Germany, who were talking about the Loch Ness Monster.

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE NANCY DREW FROM DVDTALK


Updating the beloved literary icon Nancy Drew to a more modern tango, the filmmakers behind this latest incarnation of everyone's favorite teen sleuth have made a very wise decision: instead of hipping the character up to bend to pop culture conformity, they've kept the character a square, only now she's living in a very round world.

Saying goodbye to her quaint home of River Heights, Nancy Drew (Emma Roberts) is headed to L.A. for the summer with her father (Tate Donovan). Promising her Pop to cap the sleuthing she craves, Nancy's vow is immediately broken when it's revealed the house they're renting has a secret past involving a dead screen idol (Laura Harring), a hidden will, and a daughter (Rachael Leigh Cook) who never knew her haunted mother. With pals Corky (Josh Flitter) and semi-crush Ned (Max Theiriot) in tow, Nancy heads off to solve the dangerous case.

CASINO ROYALE NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE CASINO ROYALE FROM IMDB

After receiving license to kill from the MI-6, the secret agent James Bond follows his leads and avoids the destruction of the greatest airplane in the world in Miami plotted by the evil banker Le Chiffre to crash the bonds in the stock market and break the air flight company. The banker loses the funds of international terrorist organizations and organizes a poker game in Casino Royale, in Montenegro, to raise the money of the investors. James Bond travels with the British accountant Vesper Lynd to bet and defeat La Chiffre and force him to look for protection with the MI-6, disclosing the names of the terrorists. James wins, but is double-crossed, in a game of betrayals and murders. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

James Bond goes on his first ever mission. Le Chiffre is a banker to the world's terrorists. He is participating in a poker game at Montenegro, where he must win back his money, in order to stay safe among the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply as M sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. Bond, using help from Felix Leiter, Mathis and having Vesper pose as his wife, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he and Vesper Lynd remain safe? Written by simon

Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to '00' status. Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Uganda where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M' places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax. Written by Krafty

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE CASINO ROYALE FROM DVDTALK

The Movie:
Much fuss has been made about the latest James Bond action extravaganza Casino Royale "rebooting" the franchise. Daniel Craig steps in as the sixth star to officially play the role, and brings a decidedly grittier, rough and tumble interpretation to the character, in stark contrast to the suave pomposity of the Pierce Brosnan years. The movie takes a back-to-basics approach, stripping away a lot of the silly gadgets, diabolical madmen, and far-fetched world domination plots that have long been the hallmarks of the Bond formula. It's really quite an effective rejuvenation for a series that last tortured viewers with the abhorrent Die Another Day. And yet, to put things into perspective, any long-time fan will recognize that the Bond movies have always progressed in cycles, with each new actor causing their own reboot to bring the styles and tastes of their respective eras to this ever-evolving character. The flamboyant Roger Moore was every bit the right James Bond for the 1970s and early '80s as Sean Connery was for the '60s. Brosnan was a perfect fit for the new metrosexual Bond of the late 1990s, and now we have Daniel Craig putting his own spin on the role. For every generation, their own James Bond.

This certainly isn't the first time the series has course-corrected itself, either. The wretched excess of Moonraker (widely recognized as the very worst James Bond film, yet ironically also the most financially successful of its day) was followed immediately by the streamlined For Your Eyes Only, one of Roger Moore's better pictures. After the idiotic A View to a Kill, Moore retired and Timothy Dalton made the first attempt at a darker, edgier Bond in his two movies. By the '90s, Bond had been upstaged at his own game by imitators such as James Cameron's True Lies that managed to do everything a James Bond movie was supposed to do but bigger and better. In the wake of True Lies, EON Productions, the official gatekeepers of the Bond legacy, set forth to reinvent the series as mega-budget rollercoaster thrill ride with Goldeneye. It was a big hit and ushered forth three more films in a similar vein, each attempting to outdo the last with bigger stakes, bigger set pieces, and more expensive visual effects, until finally climaxing with the ridiculous spectacle of Die Another Day, the worst Bond movie since Moonraker. In recent years, Bond has once more found himself upstaged by an imitator, this time the Jason Bourne pictures starring Matt Damon as a smart, capable, and dangerous secret agent with a no-nonsense attitude. Learning their lesson, EON decided to reset the cycle again by recasting Bond in a similar light, giving us Daniel Craig as a particularly ruthless "blunt instrument", more assassin than spy, and lacking much of the debonair sophistication we associate with the character. When asked if he wants his martini shaken or stirred, this new Bond responds, "Do I look like a man who gives a damn?"

For a movie series so far 21 entries strong, James Bond has always had a shaky sense of continuity. Only on rare occasions would a new movie reference prior events, supporting actors are routinely reused in different roles, and of course Bond himself remains ever changing and ever young. But even so there was always the assumption, with a wink and a nudge perhaps, that each of these movies was in fact a direct sequel to the last and that we were watching the same James Bond in Die Another Day that had lived through the adventures of Dr. No, as screwy as that timeline may seem. Casino Royale is the first Bond picture to officially break that continuity, set in the present day yet offering us a young James Bond on his first mission as a licensed Double-0 agent. The excuse for this is that Casino Royale was actually the first of Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels, but the one whose rights had resided outside of EON's grasp until recently. Previously adapted to film in 1967 as a psychedelic comedy spoof starring David Niven (as Bond) and Woody Allen (as his nephew Jimmy Bond), the title was always the black sheep of the Bond legacy but, with its rights finally falling to EON's control, now came the opportunity to adapt it properly. Much to-do was raised in the publicity surrounding the picture of its supposedly "faithfulness" to the Fleming source, but to be honest it's no more faithful to Fleming than any of the previous Bond movies have been, which is to say hardly at all. The Bond of Fleming's Casino Royale was a gentleman spy, not the bruiser that Craig portrays him as, and certainly not a man who would ever deign to play Texas Hold 'Em poker. The novel was set almost entirely in its title location, and served practically as an instruction manual for how to play baccarat, with just a smidge of espionage thrown in for color. To my recollection, the novel had no car crashes, explosions, chase scenes, or imploding buildings. But you can't really make a $150 million James Bond movie today without those things, so thus we have a hybrid that follows the sketch of Fleming's plot with the details filled in by the trappings a modern audience expects from a Bond film.

HORTON HEARS A WHO NOW AVAILABLE

HORTON HEARS A WHO NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE HORTON HEARS A WHO FROM IMDB

One day, Horton the elephant hears a cry from help coming from a speck of dust. Even though he can't see anyone on the speck, he decides to help it. As it turns out, the speck of dust is home to the Whos, who live in their city of Whoville. Horton agrees to help protect the Whos and their home, but this gives him nothing but torment from his neighbors, who refuse to believe that anything could survive on the speck. Still, Horton stands by the motto that, "After all, a person is a person, no matter how small." Written by Griffin84


HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE HORTON HEARS A WHO FROM DVDTALK

While the memory of Dr. Seuss remains in a troubling state of cinematic rape, "Horton Hears a Who" is by far the most palatable feature-film contribution created so far. Granted, the other options weren't hard to surpass ("The Grinch," "Cat in the Hat"), but there's an askew pop sensibility that rings throughout the picture, making it disposable, but not without ample charm.

Living in the jungle of Nool, Horton (voiced by Jim Carrey) comes across a speck that emits strange sounds only he can hear. Placing the speck on a clover, Horton begins to hear the voices of the Whos, the population that resides in the speck. Making contact with the Mayor of Whoville (Steve Carell), Horton is delighted to be placed in charge of protecting the speck and finding it a new home. Standing in his way is Kangaroo (Carol Burnett), who lacks faith that other forms of life could live beyond her perception, and mounts a great effort to stop Horton. Simultaneously, the Mayor has to deal with his new reality, while trying to keep the Whos alive as their world is jostled around during the relocation.

Instead of embracing the sweet-natured, slightly-curdled innocence of Seuss's imagination, "Horton" plays more like a Looney Tunes offspring. It's a relentlessly energetic piece from animation vets Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino (both making their feature-length directing debut), who appear in a panic to stretch the story out to 90 minutes of screentime, piping in a strange carnival of slapstick and expected Carreyisms, hoping to fashion a film with more edge to appeal to modern family audiences.

Things get off on the right foot with narration by Charles Osgood and the design of the dual worlds, taking the flat, spare Seussian cues from the page to the CG-animation world, where the filmmakers give the visuals desired depth and elasticity, while retaining their general oddness. Certainly "Horton" is faithful to the source material in areas of plotting, but the picture is much more sarcastic and goofball, especially in Jim Carrey's "Aladdinesque" performance that has Horton slinging around impressions of Henry Kissinger and bouncing around as though he's hopped up on speed.

That angle of performance is extended to the entire cast, including the likes of Seth Rogan, Will Arnett, Isla Fisher, Jonah Hill, Jamie Pressly, Amy Poehler, and Dan Fogler. Along with Carell, it's an interesting jumble of vocal performances, but the whole affair feels too trendy at times; the picture desperate to appear relevant instead of reaching for a more golden, timeless appeal. A great example of the strange direction "Horton" takes is a mid-movie anime sequence, where our hero imagines himself in a "Pokémon" world fighting off danger from all sides. It's amusing, but feels a little too hip for the room. Another showcase of makeover trouble: Mayor's son JoJo has been turned into a teen emo recluse with a Zac Efron haircut.

While the modern touches induce grimaces, the general tone of "Horton" is pleasant enough to pass for a matinee showing. The central tale of friendship between Horton and Mayor is an enchanting pairing, splintering the film off into two subplots that balance remarkably well, though the edge goes to Horton and his forest friends who both help and hinder his progress. Scrape out a touch of the zany, and it's nice voicework from Carrey and Carell, who provide the film with clever moments of interplanetary communication.

Perhaps running about 20 minutes too long, "Horton" starts to feel a little sluggish searching for a note to end on. The one selected here is a duet of an REO Speedwagon song, effectively scrubbing away whatever whimsical Seussian undertones are left standing by the end credits. As throwaway as it is, "Horton Hears a Who" still shines with a fresh coat of mass-appeal shellac, just don't walk in expecting something as cozy and magical as the original book.
