Review 'THE THREE MUSKETEERS 3D' was a decent movie, but nowhere near as faithful to the book as it should have been. It has some fun action scenes, particularly the well-choreographed sword fights and the well-crafted battle of the airships, upbeat acting and splendid direction by Paul W. S. Anderson. This movie was rather disappointing in 3D, while I understand that the director had to push the limits as far as possible to meet fans' expectations especially when majority of new movies in cinemas today are shot in 3D.
The director may have felt pressured to also use 3D technology, however I feel for this particular movie. 2D would have be more appropriate as it could have complimented the traditional/aged feeling of this movie, should not mix modern 3D tech with a movie that is based on the 17th century.

Review
I remember when THOR came out on the big screen, and I didn't watch it in theatres as I'm not a Marvel fan. The film has a Shakespearean tone, which sums up the story in a way that its director, Kenneth Branagh, would want (or maybe that was his experience with Shakespeare that helped him. To be or not to be anyone?) I admired the feature's elegant production values, visual effects, costume and set design.
Chris Hemsworth was the perfect actor to play the title character, who is charming but an arrogant god of thunder. Hemsworth is noticeably packed with heaps of muscle and did an excellent job in the role. It is good to see some Australian talent rising to the big screen. Other acting performances in the film include Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston. The latter did brilliantly as Thor's evil, manipulative brother Loki.
THOR is magnificent for its splendour and is the movie of the gods. It was spectacular if I had to describe the film. I highly recommend it to Marvel fans.

Jackson an offer he can't
refuse, he ends up in a
secret Air Force military
base. His mission: to
decode an ancient Egyptian
artifact known as the
Stargate. The mission
leader, Colonel Jack O'Neil,
a tough military man
with nerves of steel,
commandeers their trip
through the Stargate to
an ancient civilization on the other side of the
universe. Once there,
they must battle the
astoundingly powerful
Sun God, Ra, before they
can find their way back
home.

Review 'STARGATE' is a sci-fi film which is based upon the concept of an inter-dimensional portal which takes viewers on a journey to a different planet with the characters in the movie. The film's story-line was intriguing and filled with action and comedy. I commend the good acting, particularly on the behalf of Jimmy Spader and Kurt Russell. These actors were made to be the perfect duo, Russell being the courageous action hero and Jimmy being the intelligent professor who is always in the wrong place at the right time. This brain/brawn combination only adds to this duo.
'STARGATE' inspired a hit television spin-off drawing on the ultimate fan-base. I watched some episodes of the series on TV in previous years and found that I'm not a big fan of it. The TV series is in no way comparable to the movie. If you're a lover of sci-fi, then it is likely you'll enjoy 'STARGATE'.

Plot Summary Dr. Robotnik is banished from the Land of Darkness by an evil Metal Robotnik. With no one else to turn to,
the devious doctor relies
on Sonic and informs him that the Robot Generator got sabotaged, which will destroy Planet Freedom. But what could make Sonic trust his most hated adversary?
What could make him risk his life and claw? Certainly not Dr. Robotnik and his
choice of words. Not even
the pleas of the President.
Only when he springs into action does the President's
beautiful daughter Sara
turn on the charm on him?
However, as Sonic and his friend Tails arrive on the
scene, they find themselves
(along with Knuckles) walking into a trap when
the former is about to come
face-to-face with the mad
doctor's latest but deadly
robotic creation, the never-
before-seen Hyper Metal
Sonic.

I first encountered the titular character in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: THE MOVIE, the only Sonic cartoon to feature Metal Sonic. The film is edited from two episodes from an anime miniseries and landed on direct-to-video shelves to promote the Sonic Adventure game. Though the English-language dub of the voice acting was cheesy, the animation is decent. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: THE MOVIE was faithful to the video game franchise.
It was a good video game movie but could have been better if made for theatres on the big screen instead of direct-to-video. Still, it's worth a watch and worth finding.

Review
As a big fan of 'The Simpsons', I must say the movie adaptation was
enjoyable but funny. The things of the film I find very remarkable includes how the story explores some plot points that haven't
been used in new episodes of the long-running animated show. The hilarious scenes such as the few that include the Spider Pig and a vocal cameo of Tom Hanks are worthwhile.
'THE SIMPSONS MOVIE' is extremely loyal to the animated television sitcom in its golden age, especially to its purists such as myself. This feature is full of Simpson-ised humour that features Homer's antics and is possibly the greatest movie adaptation of a TV show that has ever been made. Star rating: (5/5) Best Movie Ever

Review
I've always loved the Nickelodeon cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender for its anime-like style, world-building, rare, complex storytelling in episodes and strong impact. Compared to most anime action shows featuring Dragon Ball Z, Avatar has needed to boost its potential as the new generation of Star Wars. This recent movie adaptation was disheartening and made no real sense due to a lack of momentum. I found the ending very disappointing as the movie should have concluded in an action-packed manner. However, the film's casting seems misplaced, and how could its director, M. Night Shyamalan, want to make those decisions with characters that are unmatched in their diversity? It lacks energy and direction. The acting is flat, which sums up the movie as having no structure or resonance.
To fans of the animated TV show, this film did not uphold the original qualities of the cartoon hit. There is news about a possible sequel to THE LAST AIRBENDER, which is in the works.
Star rating: (1/5) Not Worth Watching
And now, here's Team Avatar's reaction courtesy of the show's fictional characters, Aang, Zuko, Katara and others. ENJOY!

Review
'REAL STEEL' is a robotic-boxing action movie that is the best thing of entertainment since Michael Bay's 'Transformers'. It has a terrific and emotional father and son story-line mended together with a plot made familiar to the people who have and have not seen the first of the 'Rocky' movies. It contains the compelling acting of Hugh Jackman and young Dakota Gayo, fantastic direction by Shawn Levy and the way the robots are made by using animatronics that is blended with motion-capture technology.
'REAL STEEL' is the kind of film that I would love and is an amazing experience for everyone who wanted to see the robots bashing each other on a fighting match for free.
The animals at the Franklin
Park Zoo love their kind-
hearted caretaker, Griffin
Keyes. Finding himself more
comfortable with a lion than a lady, Griffin decides the only
way to get a girl in his life is
to leave the zoo and find a
more glamorous job. The
animals, in a panic, decide
to break their time-
honoured code of silence
and reveal their biggest
secret: they can talk! To
keep Griffin from leaving, they decide to teach him
the rules of courtship -
animal style.

While the opening of the movie was a bit boring, 'ZOOKEEPER' did get better with the humour and the talking animals were quite simply perfect crafted comedy which we haven't seen since hearing these animals talk in the box office smash 'Dr. Dolittle'. The acting of Kevin James was impressive as he brought a physical comedic energy to the screen and to top it of this movie included the voice talents of Sylvester Stallone, Nick Nolte and Cher.
'ZOOKEEPER' was a positive uplifting comedy which provides fun and entertainment for all the family and all the animal lovers. Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
