So many sequels, so cramped time. Should you exhaust some of that time with this sequel to the favorite and silly Bridget Jones’ Diary? If you have a taste for the light and frothy, certainly. If we were discussing the book, The Edge of Reason, I would say “no”— there are far better books, and better sequels, out there. But this is that rare case where the second book was rushed out to capitalize on the wild popularity of the first, and disappointing—– while this movie, not so rushed, is only casually based on and certainly better than the book.

Although neither book nor movie quite live up to the first, fans of the first movie will be well entertained by the second. And I, for one, am immensely gay that at least one horribly painful scene in the book is not even hinted at in the movie: Mr. Darcy keeps most of his dignity intact.

Can you delight in this movie without seeing the first Diary? Yes, you learn enough of the characters early that this movie can stand on its fill. However, I would bet that if you even smile during this one, you will want to rent or choose the first. You’ll laugh out loud.

Especially if you cherish Colin Firth and Hugh Grant, as I do, this sequel is time well spent. I can’t spell out why Colin Firth is so fine, but there it is: he is. He is a grand greater presence in this movie than the first— after all, he (as “Stamp Darcy”) and Bridget have a precise relationship as the movie opens. Of course they —uhmm— “mess” it up (“language, Bridget!”) with misunderstandings, jealousies, and very humorous mishaps. I am not a gargantuan fan of humor based on one character’s running the continuum from private embarrassment to public humiliation; yet Bridget, who constantly manages to embarrass herself and others in public, is such a first-rate sport and so charming as Everygirl, that we laugh or groan with her in recognition of those moments in ourselves, and not at her. There are some enormous laughs in this movie.

Some of them reach with Hugh Grant, who seems to have lost the weight that Renee Zellweger gained. Too thin but aloof devilishly delicate, Hugh’s rakish character Daniel Cleaver hangs around to steal advantage of the misunderstandings between Bridget and Sign Darcy– even if he has to “hang around” Thailand to do it. Cad that he is, when Bridget really becomes a damsel in hurt, he evaporates into thin air. That’s all moral. We know there will be some rough times in between, but surely Imprint Darcy, human rights lawyer, will advance cantering in on a white horse to do Bridget from Thai prison, factual? Not quite. But with a few laughable kinks, cessation enough.

I don’t quiz Renee Zellweger to receive another Oscar nomination for this one. She is fun, she is curious, and she is capable, but this is not the script for it. I’ve heard the British objections to her inconsistent, not to say hokey, accent, and while they have some merit here, I do applaud her for bravely diving into Everygirl-dom, a puny overweight, a dinky embarrassed and embarrassing, but with self-awareness enough to gain her a cult approved of all of us “Singletons”. She’s effervescent, and she’s resilient. Gotta savor her.

If the movie was shot on spot, it largely lost the advantage of it in Thailand, but that is a mere quibble. A stronger criticism: the first movie’s soundtrack was marvelously energetic and witty— who could forget “It’s Raining Men”? This one, however, tries too hard: too many oldies which are favorites because they are very excellent songs, but which have been primitive in too many soundtracks. Even slightly original arrangements don’t imbue them with the freshness the movie deserved. However, the costumer showed some wit in this episode, as well as underscoring some of the broader humor.

Not serious, not deep, not an expend for the intellect, “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” is delightful and bubbly, and a darned pleasurable time. B–

I don’t usually review films that I only saw by chance and then didn’t like, but I’m making an exception here, as “Bridget Jones – The Edge of Reason” is a fair grief all round. I saw the first movie and found it mildly laughable, so when this turned up I plan I’d give it a go, but I’m sorry I bothered.

Basically, the Bridget Jones in this film is a total idiot, who messes up everything in her life including her pride, her cherish life, and her career. Not in a silly or endearing procedure, though, which would back sympathy. And not in a zany Lucille Ball-type plot either, that would accept you laughing. No, unbiased in a totally humdrum and pointless draw that makes you want to hit her. Every embarrassing faux-pas or misunderstanding the character stumbles through (and there are dozens) unprejudiced makes you want to switch off and leave her to it. She messes up every single aspect of her relationship, her job, and her holiday by saying and doing the most brainless and unfathomable things, in ways that a true person would never do. Or if they did, they wouldn’t have any friends…and certainly not Hugh Grant and Colin Firth fighting over them!

Rene Zellweger playes Bridget as a totally unloveable, tiresome and socially inept loser…I don’t deem this is the actress’s fault, or even due to the recent charcter in the Helen Fielding novels, but more due to the dreadful script and direction. Why does Bridget trot everwhere like a constipated duck, for example? Why does she laugh and sing at every dumb blunder she makes, and unbiased budge on to the next stumbling point? Even when she’s lost the fancy of her life, it’s all summed up with a shrug and a rueful smile. Reach on, girl, try and build us care! I obvious didn’t!

If that wasn’t terrible enough, the last third of the movie almost made me weep at the camouflage…Dopey Bridget is duped into smuggling a massive stash of cocaine out of Thailand, and gets caught trying to board a plane at Bangkok airport. She then gets thrown into a Thai women’s prison. This notoriously terrible jam really doesn’t belong in a (supposedly) frothy comedy like this is, but it fair gets worse, as have-a-go Bridget gets all (and I mean ALL) the inmates on her side which results in a titanic sing-along scene and lots of laughing and hugging. Sorry, I don’t reflect so somehow. This sugar-coated representation of the notoriously brutal Thai prison regime left a ghastly taste in my mouth…not alleviated in the slightest when Bridget gets an anticipated (but blatently unlikely) chubby pardon and early release, objective because her lawyer boyfriend pulls the good strings.

The above illustration is the worst example, but I didn’t salvage any of Bridgets other antics enchanting or affecting in the slightest either. She’s somehow got a high profile TV reporters job, but she can’t even do it. Everyone makes jokes about her weight and she fair thinks it’s comic. With a central and supporting cast of usually top-notch performers, it’s tragic how lame this film has turned out. There’s nothing apparent to execute you understand or care about any of the lead characters actions. And that means a demolish of 90 minutes in my book. Beget better consume of your time and give this one a miss.

I absolutely LOVED this series. I had heard Martin compared with House, and I mediate that’s a bit unfair, albeit understandable. However, I rob to assume of him as a odd faulty between House and James Harriot. Although James was impartial nice, nice, nice (ad nauseum), the situations in which they catch themselves are really very similar – close-knit countryside chubby of bizarre natives with bizarre rituals. In personality he is worthy more like House, with one gigantic difference: House is a vulgar, insensitive jerk simply because he enjoys it, while Martin, not a jerk at all, frequently acts like one because he doesn’t seem to know any better. Like House, Martin’s dry, deadpan comebacks are hilarious.

I smooth can’t quite attach my finger on what makes Martin so charming, since I’m not certain I would relish shimmering him in person.

Here’s a movie for dog lovers, the elderly, children of divorce, FOBs (Friends of Birds), conventional Boy Scouts, people yearning for adventure, and anyone who has ever loved… and lost. Up is for everyone. It made me laugh out loud, and it made me shout.

I idea it would be tough for Up to match the emotional power of Wall-E. The two Pixar films are similar in their lack of dialogue in the first act, which helps deepen the emotional impact. Up begins with Carl, a worried young boy star-struck by a famed explorer; and kookie Ellie, who has a similar obsession. The two kids become speedy friends, and voice to one day depart to Venezuela’s Paradise Falls. After getting married, they rob their dream home and fix it up, hoping to believe it with children. Carl and Ellie’s life together from childhood through primitive age is depicted, silently, with delicacy and subtlety. The first 15 minutes is like a celebration of a joyful marriage, and you truly feel Carl’s harm when he is left alone. He sits slumped in his chair, talking to the house as if it is the missing Ellie.

When developers conclude in on Carl’s beloved home, he decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie and disappear to Paradise Falls. A musty balloon vendor, Carl lifts his home with hundreds of intelligent balloons. Stowing away on the porch is Russell, a chubby, intrepid kid trying to derive a scouting badge.

After landing in Paradise Falls, the aged man and the slight boy are joined by a golden retriever named Dug who can talk with his collar, and a gargantuan rare bird that bonds with Russell (he names her “Kevin”) . Dug is priceless: spot-on for every dog that ever lived, including an obsession with squirrels. Through a series of halt calls and adventures, the quartet vanquishes a villain, saving the day. And Russell earns his scouting badge.

In the process, Carl learns to let go of his dark mourning for Ellie, and live life again. When this happens, a truly magical thing happens. Before, Carl’s craggy face is gray and monochromatic. At the moment of his transformation, Carl’s face is awash in color, and he is surrounded by lovely hues. It reminded me of The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy steps out of her gray world and into a candy-colored Munchkinland. Carl, too, enters a whole recent world.

Up is a deeply emotional film, fleshy of truth. It’s the year’s best film. Gain another triumph for Pixar.

Someday, Pixar is going to do it — they’re going to develop an emotionally uninspiring, lackluster arresting movie. But in the meantime, they’re composed putting out enjoyable intriguing movies like “Up,” which defies the usual kid-movie conventions by starring a crotchety worn man. It’s a charming, fun itsy-bitsy adventure narrative with flying dogs and balloon-powered houses, but underlying it is a bittersweet shrimp record about loss and treasure.

As a child, the timorous Carl Fredricksen bonded with the oddball Ellie over their shared appreciate of adventure, the explorer Charles Muntz, and Paradise Falls. They later married, recede into their “clubhouse” together, and lived a long, sadly childless life together. When Ellie died, she had never fulfilled her dream of going to Paradise Falls.

Now crotchety, alone and harassed by a precise estate developer, Carl (Ed Asner) is finally ordered to a retirement home. But he isn’t going quietly — instead he attaches thousands of balloons to his house and floats it away toward South America. But he accidentally takes an keen, naive Wilderness Explorer (a thinly-veiled Boy Scout) named Russell (Jordan Nagai) along for the trip. Abominable kid was unbiased trying to collect an “assisting the elderly” badge.

And the jungle journey to Paradise Falls turns out to have some surprising obstacles: a large emulike bird that Russell names Kevin, a talking dog named Dug (“I am jumping on you, bird!”), and a mysterious passe man who lives deep in the heart of the jungle. Turns out the venerable guy is very familiar to Carl — and to steal Kevin, he’s willing to sacrifice Carl and Russell.

Industry experts were babbling about how “Up” wouldn’t be as celebrated as the previous Pixar movies, because the protagonist is basically a crusty customary coot. Well, shows what they know. It ended up becoming one of those classic movies that somehow appeals to all ages — while the humor and action appeal to children, adults can bask in Carl’s like for his lost wife, and his lifeless realization that he’s clinging to the past.

In fact, the first ten minutes are some of the most heart-tugging, quietly bittersweet scenes I’ve seen in a long time. Without a word, they note all the ups and downs of a realistic marriage — joys, sorrows (Ellie’s inability to have children), growing weak together, and finally loss.

But it’s not a depressing movie by any stretch — in fact, it’s like a childhood fantasy arrive to life, complete with a floating house suspended on hundreds of balloons, and biplanes piloted by a talking dog army.. Plenty of gargantuan dialogue (“Do you want to play a game? It’s called Discover Who Can Go the Longest Without Saying Anything.” “Icy! My mom loves that game!”) and an action-packed climax in an conventional airship.

Ed Asner is absolutely perfect as ubergrouch Carl — crotchety, grumpy, and obvious to fulfill his wife’s lifelong dream, but gradually realizing he’s clinging to the past. Nagai is equally perfect as Carl’s polar opposite: a naive, chattery Scout who is positive to reunite Kevin with her baby chicks. And the utterly adorable Dug and the other dogs deserve special eye. These creatures are utterly hilarious — they talk (“I hid under your porch because I treasure you”) and act the contrivance dogs would if they talked. Three words: cone of shame.

The two-disc edition is going to have some very nice extras, but once again people with regular-def DVDs are going to salvage shafted because the Blu-ray edition will have a bunch of weird stuff. Grr. As for this one, there’s a digital copy, the director’s audio commentary, kinda-alternate-ending “The Many Endings of Muntz,” and the documentary “Adventure Is Out There” about the research for this movie.

There are also a pair of adorable enchanting shorts. “Partly Cloudy” has a much-abused stork having to verbalize potentially scandalous baby creatures from a kind but clueless cloud. And “Dug’s Special Mission” is a sort of backstory for the adorable Dug, explaining what the heck he was doing before he met up with Carl and Russell.

“Up” continues Pixar’s running tally of gloriously tantalizing, emotionally layered movies that the entire family can like. With that, I have only one more thing to say… SQUIRREL!

Don’t listen to the clowns who can’t let go of Connery, TMWTGG is one of the hottest Bond films. The worst to me is Licence to Waste and Tomorrow Never Dies.

I obtain it weird that the Bond Blu Rays from the gradual 70’s and the 90’s relate quality is not as orderly as you would interrogate, but the 60’s and earl 70’s are on point! This film quality is what I would have to call perfect. It has film grain, but yet the detail is high and 3D. This is the scheme a BD should peep. This is perfect. Do not hesitate on this one.

My only complaint is that they did not release a 4th location and I had to bewitch the 2 unusual ones seperatley which broke up my collection appearance. I am not obvious why this was done, but I don’t like it. I prefereed them individually, but the box position was always cheaper.

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN opens with Maurice Binder’s gun barrel trademark, accompanied with the “James Bond Theme” this time played on strings, instead of guitar. That was a genuine innovation by John Barry, which he continued to spend for Roger Moore. It was clearly evident Barry was befriend.

The first camera shot is of a surrealistically exotic locale on a beach where a lovely girl towels down a mammoth ark man emerging from the water. The man is Scaramanga, the Man with the Golden Gun. John Barry’s familiar background music accentuates the Epicurean surroundings and the film immediately looks like it has returned to more familiar Bondian territory.

As the film unfolds many of the elements of the unique Bond series and missing from LIVE AND LET DIE returned. There also seemed to be a more sizable status as it initially unfolded. However, there were detached undesirable elements that waddle into the film as it progresses.

Britt Ekland seemed like she would have been a natural throwback to the sex symbols of the 60s akin to previous Bond Girls such as Ursula Andress, but her vaudevillian interpretation of Mary Goodnight was a fatal flaw. Another flaw was the return of Clifton James as Sheriff J.W. Pepper. Their performances were distractions from the main set hindering the continuity of the yarn line.

The film flounders in the middle until it gets support on track when Bond finally travels to Scaramanga’s island for a face to face confrontation. The film follows the Bond formula here. The villain gloats as he gives Bond a tour of his lair and technical wizardry he has acquired. They dine over some dialogue on the merits of obedient vs. substandard and in the waste reach to the final showdown.

I’ll admit that I always had a soft plot for this film ever since I first saw it. It returned many familiar elements absent from LIVE AND LET DIE. For instance, we gape Bond return to the gambling tables via the Casino de Macao. Many fans greeted the return of these elements in a certain response. Other fans unexcited recognized the questionable elements that were quiet show in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and found these obnoxious and responded accordingly. To older Bond fans the return of Sheriff J.W. Pepper wasn’t exactly a welcome explore.

An often-overlooked asset to this film is Maud Adams’ performance as Andrea, Scaramanga’s shapely mistress. She brings excellent compassion to the role as the tormented individual who can not run her master. Only before each killing does Scaramanga exploit her sexually in ritualistic foreplay to increase his aim on the downhearted individual he has been contracted for. In one scene Scaramanga cruelly rubs the golden barrel of his pistol against her lips in a symbolically phallic gesture in a moment of triumph after a successful killing. You can observe the afflict on Andrea’s face and you feel empathy for her. Even though she appears here in the prerequisite sacrificial lamb role, she stands out as one of the best Bond girls of the series.

Christopher Lee’s performance as the enigmatic Scaramanga was refreshingly energetic. He gave the assassin an amiable quality on the surface hiding a darker side beneath the skin.

Roger Moore’s performance was an improvement over his first interpretation of Bond as a foppish and funny dandy. Moore appeared to give Bond a tougher edge in this one even though the script attempted to undo him. Given Roger Moore’s previous performance and his meager cover accomplishments as Bond at that point in the series, the “duel between titans” it was not.

Some of the cinematography was very obedient. Bond’s solo flight through the uprooted rock formations arrive Phuket, Thailand to Scaramanga’s island was impressive. In the pre-title sequence there is an worthy camera shot that follows gangster Hood and Crop Nack through an anteroom. As they enter the parlor the camera continues to dolly forward while the lens zooms encourage giving the viewer an impression of the expanse and opulence of Scaramanga’s domicile, a melding of the man-made with nature’s volcanic rock.

Production designer Peter Murton’s work on this film has always been underrated. Scaramanga’s posh living quarters overlooking his grotto rivaled earlier place designs by Ken Adam. Also very impressive were amazing miniatures by Derek Meddings.

One bit of innovation combing station filming, miniatures and area originate was the utilize of the half-submerged Queen Elizabeth, its hull at a 30-degree angle, scorched and rusted at rest in Hong Kong harbor. Hidden in the bowels of the sunken ship is the headquarters for the Hong Kong state of the British Secret Service. “It’s the only situation in Hong Kong where you can’t be bugged” says a naval officer to Bond.

John Barry’s scoring gave the film his much-needed familiar sound. Even though it was apparently mighty loftier, it was collected very welcome.

If this were to be the last film in the series it would have been a unlit final testament. Luckily greater things were yet to approach.

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is a bit of a romp gaining cult place in some circles thanks in share to Christopher Lee’s performance. One is able to gape support and honest savor it for what it is. I absorb it was one final discover, though powerful out of step to the origins of the series before THE Gaze WHO LOVED ME took the Bond series in a fresh direction.

THIS ISLAND EARTH is a 1950s science-fiction pulp magazine camouflage brought to life: clunky spacecraft, battling planets, disagreeable aliens, and screaming heroines in hurt. The special effects are 1955 state-of-the-art, and they detached gain up very well today, for unlike ultra-realistic computer generated graphics they have a fantasy feel that is very, very entertaining–a sort of “Wizard of Oz goes sci-fi” peek that is very piquant to the view.

As already well-known, the tale concerns several of earth’s best minds who are kidnapped by aliens and ordered to produce an endless source of energy for a dying planet. The script is laced with 1950s sexism–one line, for example, is “Don’t bid me that as woman you’re not involving? “–but this is actually less offensive than it is rather silly, in keeping with the magazine screen sensibility that pervades the share. The cast plays with immense sincerity: Rex Reason is appropriately plucky, Faith Domergue screams the house down, and the aliens all have high foreheads–excepting, of course, that really disagreeable looking one with claws for hands!

Some humorless-type science-fiction fans won’t luxuriate in it, and if you’re not the type to procure a kick from period visuals you might want to give this one miss. But for pure 1950s matinee fun, you can’t do better than THIS ISLAND EARTH.

Here’s an moving bit of trivia (okay, maybe not so powerful titillating, but worth noting, at least) …seems the film This Island Earth (1955) was one of the first major science fiction features filmed in Technicolor, a process that actually had been around, in various states, since the early twentieth century. Directed by Joseph M. Newman (The Gunfight at Dodge City, Tarzan, the Ape Man), the film stars Rex Reason (The Creature Walks Among Us), Faith Domergue (It Came from Beneath the Sea, Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet), and Jeff Morrow (Kronos, The Giant Claw) . Also appearing is Lance Fuller (The She-Creature), Robert Nichols (Giant), and Russell Johnson (Attack of the Crab Monsters), probably best known as `The Professor’, from the mid 1960s series “Gilligan’s Island”.

As the film begins we meet a scientist named Dr. Cal Meacham (Reason), preparing to leave Washington D.C. after attending a conference on atomic energy. Anyway, Cal borrows a jet to sail home (must be nice), and upon arriving, his plane conks out due to some showboating (nice play, Shakespeare), but Cal is saved as a mysterious force takes control and lands the vehicle safely, remarkable to the amazement of Cal and his dopey assistant named Joe (Nichols), who I consider is supposed to provide a comedic element for the film, failing miserably I might add. But wait, there’s more…shortly after Cal’s return he receives a catalog featuring advanced electronic components related to assembling something called an `interocitor’, which turns out of be a savor, schmancy triangular television with some shapely wonderful and far out capabilities (actually, it looks a bit like the drive-thru order box at a hasty food restaurant, but that’s neither here nor there) . Once constructed, Cal receives a message from a melon headed, white haired nerdlinger type named Mr. Exeter (Morrow), who invites Cal to join a mysterious brain trust whose purpose appears to be development of unusual forms of atomic energy. His curiosity piqued, Cal hops a plane (one which he isn’t piloting, thankfully), and ends up in a remote status somewhere in Georgia where he hooks up with Exeter (apparently he’s dropped the `Mr’ routine), Dr. Ruth Adams (Domergue), another scientist named Steve Carlson (Johnson), among others…eventually Cal learns Exeter is not of this Earth (well duh) and his motives for assembling Team Brainiac not as altruistic as originally stated, which leads to Cal and Ruth trying to flee, only to rep beamed aboard Exeter’s spacecraft (start the probings), complete with swishy doors, and transported to Exeter’s home planet called Metaluna (once you approach Neptune, hang a legal and go about three billion miles, contemplate for the Stuckeys and you’re there) . As far as what happens next you’ll impartial have to glimpse the film, but I will portion this, there’s aliens, an impartial to goodness flying saucer, ookie mutants with spacious brains and oversized claws with a penchant for pinching, killer remote-controlled meteors, some dude named The Monitor (sound ominous, doesn’t it? ), matte paintings of incredible alien landscapes, and so on…

I really liked this film a lot…clear, the acting leaves something to be desired (Rex Reason probably could have been replaced with a tree and few would have noticed), but there appeared to be a genuine sense of ambition towards the presentation of the material. The main strength of this film is the special effects, which, in my conception, approach off ravishing well. Certainly compared to today’s standards they’ll seem hokey, but I’m betting when the film was originally released audiences were amazed and I’ll doubt few left the theater feeling like they didn’t score their money’s worth. The bits I idea really queer were how some of these so called scientists, at least the ones who didn’t have their minds `toyed’ with, at the Georgia facility seemed so dreary on the uptake with regards to figuring out their host was an alien (I would have view the ginormous cranium a tiresome giveaway) . And then once they did figure it out, no one seemed that surprised or stupefied. Honestly, had it been me being abducted and taken a bazillion miles into outer position, ending up on some alien planet I would have been seriously freaking out, but neither Cal nor Ruth really seemed all that upset. Perhaps scientists are made of sturdier stuff than us non-brainy types, of which I believe myself one. As far as the characters there was some promising development early on, but it eventually customary as those introduced fell into homogenous roles (Reason the rugged, masculine hero type, Domergue the pretty screaming mimi in danger, etc.) . Morrow’s character of Exeter did seem to have the most potential, in terms of his altering positive plans based on his developing an plan of humans after spending time with them, but this sort of petered out a bit, taking a backseat to the visual aspects explain in the film, which is a fairly favorite pitfall in the genre, especially in today’s films, in terms of flashy effects superseding the more broad elements of the record. All in all you can certainly glean plenty of fault with this feature, but I’d suggest viewing the film with a slightly less primary inspect, as not to miss all the fun.

The represent, presented in fullscreen (1.33:1), does explore really kindly, despite areas that expose some minor signs of age (there weren’t any frames missing, but there was some specking here and there) . As far as the Dolby Digital 2.0 mono audio, I concept it came through very well and had no complaints. There’s not noteworthy in the device of extras except for an unusual theatrical trailer and subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. I was a microscopic surprised at the lack of an audio commentary, especially since I’ve always considered this staple film in the classic science fiction genre, maybe not to the extent of those like The Day the Earth Stood Mild (1951), The Thing from Another World (1951), or Forbidden Planet (1956), but one unexcited superior of attention.
