The Reaper, Movie Review

"Whatsoever a man soweth, that he shall also reap" is a popular English idiom originally from Epistles to the Galatians of the Bible. The central theme and the very message of the movie was centered on the Biblical story found in Exodus. This is when the Pharaoh of Egypt was made obdurate by God Himself by not letting the Israelites be freed from slavery. The ten plagues presented in the Bible that were brought down to Egypt by Moses are the same plagues depicted in the movie, i.e. from the first plague of the river turning to blood to the death of the first born sons and daughters of the locals.

But it is worthy to note that the last plague was not brought about by the unseen supernatural force as all the others. Instead, the group members of the cult of the land were the ones killing their own. Also, unlike in the Bible, the second born children were the ones sacrificed instead of the first born. This is clearly so as to put an element of a Hollywood tinge on the movie and not be a copy cat of what's in the Bible (which admittedly would have made the movie less exciting or plain boring). Effectively, the tenth plague was made the climax of the movie.

Tension was built up little by little with each plague unfolding and peaked at the last plague holding the viewers momentarily confused by deviating from what was expected (death of second born instead of first born). And then here comes the vision shared by the child Loren to Katherine where she was about to be killed for being a second born but miraculously survived after being stabbed by her brother. At the time of being momentarily dazed, the viewers are fired with explanations as to why was Katherine chosen to be in that town at such crucial time. She was, in the past, an ordained minister.

She turned away from her God when the locals of the town she was serving sacrificed her family in exchange for the long drought. The cult members in the place where the child Loren lived believed that Katherine would help them kill Loren since she was after all like them, backsliders in faith. But of course, as the protagonist in the movie, she did not succumb to their wishes but instead saved the girl from them.

Since we've started interpreting the movie in Biblical terms, we might as well finish it on the same tone. In the Old Testament, God is presented as a jealous God, an angry God and all other similar actuations. The message of the movie was effectively delivered in the light of such interpretation, i.e. it was made a horror film with events lifted from the Bible. In the Old Testament, God came with thunder and lightning. But rest assured that in the New Testament, it was promised that He will come again with love and justice.

So then after all the 'scary moments' depicted in the movie, we go back to that promise, then sit back, relax and enjoy. After all, it's a beautiful world (Amen). Providing useful articles, reviews and writings on movies and films online.

Daniel Craig's Start in Showbiz

With the release of "Skyfall," Daniel Craig has cemented his reputation as an exciting and talented addition to the James Bond franchise. His selection was a surprise to fans, many of whom had a tough time getting used to the first blonde actor to take on the role of the suave secret agent. However, Craig's portrayal of 007 has won audiences over. The success has also garnered up a good deal of interest in his start in the entertainment world.

Daniel Craig began acting at the age of six. His mother was responsible for fostering his interest in the stage with frequent trips to the Liverpool Everyman Theatre. Throughout his younger years, he appeared in several school plays. When he was 16, Craig auditioned for the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. He was accepted in 1984 and subsequently moved to London to focus seriously on his acting career.

As part of the National Youth Theatre, Craig was able to tour Europe and Russia, fine-tuning his acting skills in the process. After four years, he succeeded in gaining entrance to the Guildhall School of Music & Drama where further training would introduce him to a new wave of top British actors, including Alistair McGowen, Ewan McGregor, Joseph Fiennes, and Damian Lewis.

The advanced instruction and career contacts paid off. Craig graduated in 1991, and he appeared in his first motion picture a year later. "The Power of One," starring Stephen Dorff and Morgan Freeman, turned out to be a lackluster adaptation of the popular book by Bryce Courtenay. Thankfully, it didn't slow down the young actor's career.

Throughout the 1990s, Craig stuck mainly to television roles in series like "Our Friends in the North" and "Tales from the Crypt." It wasn't until playing Alex West opposite Angelina Jolie in "Laura Croft: Tomb Raider" that his movie career really took off. Playing the underhanded treasure hunter-and rival to Britain's female counterpart to Indiana Jones-led to a role in the Tom Hanks hit "Road to Perdition" in 2002.

Craig's first award-nominating roles would come in 2004. The first was as sly cocaine dealer XXXX in "Layer Cake." This frantic, complicated story takes audiences deep into the British Mafia, where favors are owed and respect is earned and burned in a moment. The second was as Joe, a would-be rescuer and witness to a fatal accident in the drama "Enduring Love." Craig received European Film Award nominations for Best Actor for his work in both movies.

In 2005, Craig starred in Steven Spielberg's "Munich," the story of the five men hired to kill the assassins responsible for killing 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics. Craig starred alongside Eric Banna and Geoffrey Rush in the drama that went on to be nominated for five Oscars and two Golden Globes, and it also won the AFI Film Award for Movie of the Year.

The next year would see Craig's debut as British spy, James Bond, in the twenty-first official movie in the series. "Casino Royale" wasn't just the first time a blonde James Bond hit the screen. It was a reboot of the Bond experience, resetting the clock on the spy's years in service and establishing a new canon for the franchise.

Despite critics and fans struggling to accept these new changes, "Casino Royale" opened to great success. The film has earned just short of $600 million in sales worldwide, and at the time was the highest-earning movie in the series. The studios were shocked when the movie's popularity was surpassed by "Quantum of Solace" in 2008.

Originally resistant to be tied into a long-term contract, Craig was dismayed when studios put the brakes on James Bond installments while the economy teetered. Unlike other leads for the franchise, Craig did not put his acting on pause during his contract. From 2008 to the release of "Skyfall" in 2012, the actor starred in four major films, including the English version of the popular Swedish trilogy "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," as well as the science fiction favorite "Cowboys & Aliens."

Looking back on his long and varied career, many wonder how Daniel Craig joined the ranks of Hollywood's top actors. With his reserved demeanor and knack for staying out of celebrity gossip, Craig certainly seems to have the level of professionalism it takes to make it big. His talent in action, adventure, drama and even fantasy roles show he has the talent to continue making great films for years to come. It's humbling to realize he got his start on a typical stage in primary school among a crowd of six year olds. Providing useful articles, reviews and writings on movies and films online.

At World's End Review

Jack Sparrow's back! Along with his nemesis Hector barbossa, and the love couple Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner. These characters provide both plenty of humor that is worth sitting back in your recliner and crack up the pop corn.

At World's End does not really have a complicated plot. Thanks to James Norrington's treachery in Dead Man's Chest, the world of piracy finds itself in danger due to Lord Cutler Beckett's possession of Davy Jones's heart. With Jones and the Flying Dutchman under his control, Beckett has the power to rid the seas of pirates and ensure that the British Crown, the East India Trading Company and himself will have control of the world's seas.

The recently resurrected Barbossa seemed to feel that the only way to stop Beckett is to summon the nine pirate lords of the Brethren Court. Both he and the recently deceased Jack Sparrow happened to be part of the Brethren Court. Because Jack had failed to name a successor, Barbossa needs Jack alive to take part in the meeting of the pirate lords.

Will, who had witnessed a kiss between Elizabeth and Jack in Dead Man's Chest, wants Jack alive for two reasons: he believes that Elizabeth is in love with Jack and he needs the Black Pearl to catch up with the Flying Dutchman. Elizabeth wants to bring Jack back to ease her guilt for luring the him to his death in the last film.

Tia Dalma, the Vodoun priestess who had resurrected Barbossa needs both the latter and Jack for the "pieces of nine" that represent their positions as pirate lords. Those same pieces of nine could free Dalma from her bodily prison, enabling to become her true identity, the goddess Calypso.

There is a lot of double-crossing and backstabbing in this sequel, due to the needs of the main characters, especially by Jack, Will and Barbossa. Another pirate lord, Sao Feng gets into the act because he wants revenge against Jack for sleeping with his female steam pullers, and to ensure his survival against Beckett's purge.

The cast was exceptional as always. What can one say about Johnny Depp? His performance in this movie seemed even better than in the second film. I especially enjoyed three moments by Jonny Depp, his multifaceted performance of the many aspects of Jack's personality in the Locker and his look of horror when Jones managed to fatally stab Will. I had no idea that dear old Jack truly cared about Will.

I feel that the movie truly belonged to the lovers Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley (Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann). The pair's characters and performances really amazed me. Instead of the naïve and sweet lovers they had portrayed in the first film, the pair had become more complex. It seemed interesting to watch these two deals with each other's insecurities and mistaken beliefs. They actually seemed like a real couple.. Most of the movie critics have praised Knightley for her performance. I do believe that Bloom deserved some of that praise, as well. But because he is a major teen idol, the critics have seemed fit to either ignore him or make insulting comments about his acting.

The movie has its flaws, specially the handling of the Flying Dutchman curse and James Norrington's character. But I must admit that I was surprised that I managed to enjoy it a lot. Providing useful articles, reviews and writings on movies and films online.

Sherlock Holmes Movie: A Game Of Shadows Review

 It is silly to hope of an authentic Sherlock Holmes movie at this epoch. Regardless of the time the story set in 1895 in Victorian London, the movie must be stuffed with all modern movie techniques such as explosions, gunfire, image effects and fights that are totally different from the fistfightof that period.

In "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," many scences screening Victorian London, Paris and Switzerland, but it runs fast. The movie all but hurtles through episodes that would be relaxedly set pieces in old Holmes story. This is as a modern action picture played in costume. There're no time to rethink the approach, after the great sucess of Sherlock Holmes (2009). However, this time, there're more refinement and creativeness.

"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" begins with a situation that may change Holmes's world: Dr. Watson is getting married. His engagement to Mary Watson (Kelly Reilly) was in the first sequel, and now a date has been set. Holmes (Downey), who regards himself as the best company that the doctor could find, feel a little sorrow about this, but still joins the happy couple on their honeymoon train journey. And in that unlucky journey, he must thow Mary off the train to save her life.

The movie revolves around the rivalry between Holmes and Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris) – an Oxford don, who is the brain of a secret anarchist plan to use bombings and assassinations to drive Europe into war. As Moriarty owns an huge secret munitions mill producing all kinds of weapons from machine guns to gigantic cannons, he would make a lot of money from that. And Holmes is the only hope to save the world from war, which would endangere lives and existences of European citizens.

If the war happened, it would be out of reach of the eccentric investigator of 221B Baker Street and Watson. It's then the case for James Bond, and Moriarty's grandiosity seems on a scale with a Bond villain. However, Guy Ritchie and his writers Michele and Kieran Mulroney wisely spend some of their best scenes to man-to-man between Holmes and Moriarty.

Their battle progresses to a head in a graceful, high-stakes chess game, carried on in Switzerland in the dead of a winter night on a snowy outdoor balcony. In this movie, Moriarty doesn't gnash or rail, but contends with Holmes in biting language. This turn the movie to Conan Doyle's initiate images about Holmes with his mind working perfectly.

Unlike other Sherlock Holmes movies, in "A Game of Shadows", Dr. Watson has a more proactive role. The movie opens with him recalling the whole adventures on a typewriter that is too modern for 1895 but maybe suggests he's writing years later. There are many scences in which we see Dr Watson uses fists and guns. Luckily his wife didn't see most of the action as she was thrown out by Holmes.

In the center of European diplomacy, Mycroft (Stephen Fry)- Holmes' brother is a funny role, especially when he is nude and shields his netherlands by using arranged foregrounds in the "Austin Powers" tradition. In this movie, we also meet Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams), the mysterious character in much romantic speculation about Holmes, and a gipsy fortune teller, Madame Simza Heron, played by Noomi Rapace.

Robert Downey with his calm and flexibility, drives his character out from the danger, thinks thoroughly before performs it without worry. He appears in many disguises, one with a markedly bad wig, another as a remarkably convincing chair. This is not a traditional Sherlock Holmes with what we remember of the Conan Doyle stories, it is a enjoyable high-caliber entertaining movie. So just put aside your memories of the Conan Doyle stories, and enjoy it.

Jo Hum Chahein Movie: May the Dreams Come True

In this cut throat world everyone wants to get success along with speed in life. The generation X is the most affected segment of the society in this case. They are always in a hurry scurry haste to be an achiever. The increasing pace of the society left no space for entertainment in their life. Jo Hum Chahein Movie is based on this previously mentioned theme. Pawan Gill is the owner of this film. The script has been moulded with accuracy and perfection to highlight the sentiments of today's youth. The story of the movie revolves around a young couple. Both of them meet accidentally and fall for each other by chance.

The urbanized background is used in the movie along with the conventional Indian shell in this movie so that the people can connect with the lifestyles of the duo and the present rapid change in our society. Sunny Gill and Simran Kaur Mundi are paired in the movie. Both of them did their debut in this cinema. As usual romantic script is the main asset of the movie. A bit comedy is also there to upgrade its entertainment level. Despite of all these, the movie was not able to do any magic on the Box office. Sometimes it is so monotonous that brings drowsiness for the viewers. By now Bollywood has gifted us a number of love stories time and again in its long run. Distinctiveness comes when the script represents loads of twists. This is exactly the thing that is missing in the movie with a diminishing charm.

As per the story line, Jo Hum Chahein Movie Reviews were expected to be good initially which did not happen for the movie. The main character was Rohan Bhatia aka Sunny Gill, who is very ambitious and aspires to achieve all the possible triumph. He is a young guy of 24 years and an MBA graduate. Soon he gets a job of a stock broker in Mumbai to kick start his career as soon as probable. Neha Kapoor aka Simran Kaur Mundi is a beauty with brain model who desires to snatch the lime light of the Hindi movie industry.

Both of the twosomes get smitten with each other as they come in contact. In next to no time they revive into a new life after their coincident meeting. This movie projected each and almost every flavour of life. Be it depression, be it optimism everything is highlighted in the film. But the Jo Hum Chahein Movie Rating reflects a below average figure in spite of the masalas. It is therefore rated 2 out of 5 stars. The music of the movie is also not up to the mark and not come up to scratch the audiences' interest.
