Murder Was The Case

Snake eyes- is good mystry thriller directed by Brian De Palma.

The Plot: Detective Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) has never played by the rules. When he attends a high-profile boxing match with his friend Navy Cmdr. Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise), as well as Defense Secretary Kirkland (Joel Fabiani), he witnesses a terrorist assassinate Kirkland. Despite a lockdown on the arena, key witness Julia Costello (Carla Gugino) escapes -- and Santoro begins to suspect Kirkland's death is part of a much larger conspiracy that involves boxing rivals and a beautiful stranger.

It was a good movie, very underrated.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrel

Only saw a trailer for this last week and with 2 such great lead actors in the main roles thought I'd check it. It's a decent thriller as a con and scam artist thinks he can con a woman out of her fortune.
There's a decent back story to be told about our characters that you wouldn't have guessed. Although overall the film pans out as you probably would expect it to. Enjoy it for 2 great leads in the same film, especially with McKellen in a very different role for him.

Good old Elsie

Sometimes a book can be good but the ending makes it very special. This is such. What I love is the the heroes are the ones rarely used but have lived the most. Why there are not more books and characters containing our dear pensioners I'll never know but Three Things About Elsie oozes with the love and charm of the things we adore about our elderly relatives. It is a mystery thriller but more important teaches is to love those we abandon in homes. For that reason this should be read by all.

A well made and enjoyable to watch revenge action/thriller. The biggest let down really was how far fetched the plot was!! It starts well and has some quite violent scenes for this type of film. It's hard to say who you should be rooting for. At the start you can understand why a man in that position would want his wife and child murderers to suffer......but as he starts to seek revenge on anyone associated with the case, he himself becomes the bad guy. So despite the unbelievable plot it's still an entertaining film.

Minority Report- is a excellent movie. The action, the sci-fi, the future, the plot, the cast, etc. Also Steven Spilberg directs it, so thats a plus.

The plot: Based on a story by famed science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, "Minority Report" is an action-detective thriller set in Washington D.C. in 2054, where police utilize a psychic technology to arrest and convict murderers before they commit their crime. Tom Cruise plays the head of this Precrime unit and is himself accused of the future murder of a man he hasn't even met.

A excellent movie.
