Bruno: World Wide

Official Site: www.thebrunomovie.com
Director(s):Larry Charles
Writer(s): Sacha Baron Cohen
Producer(s): Anthony Hines

Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen, Gustaf Hammarsten, Clifford Bañagale, Josh Meyers,Bono, and
Elton John(IMDb). Rated-R. 83min.

Bruno is a creative piece of vulgarity encasing social commentary about attitudes toward homosexuality, and fascinations with celebrities, which Bruno so ardently wants to become. If one could stop laughing, and being shocked at the measures that Bruno takes to become a celebrity; it's possible to notice the film's social commentary is largely sardonic about pop culture's focus on the inane, and even in its efforts to express genuine concerns for sociopolitical issues, pop culture's efforts still appear superficial.

Social commentary excluded, Bruno delivered as anticipated, and that was an array of wild, funny, shocking, and unthinkable antics that induced discomfort and laughter. Sacha Baron Cohen's ability to play socially challenged and lovable characters is a quite a gift. According to metacritic.com the film received mixed reviews, and rottentomatoes.com granted the film 111 fresh tomatoes to 46 rotten ones thus far. Good sttuff, I'll grade it an 83. Stay tuned Movieporium.blogpsot.com.

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen

This sequel was amazing and it definitely lived up to the hype. There was more action, more laughs, and more Optimus prime, and less lag. The production was just as good as the first film. Michael Bay has done it again. The film has been released for eight days and it earned over 239 million thus far. Optimus Prime kicked ass in this film, and what a joy that was. Good Stuff! This film gets a 95.

The Taking of Pelham 123: 10,000,000

Official Site: www.catchthetrain.com
Director(s): Tony Scott
Writer(s): Brian Helgeland, John Godey
Producer(s):Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Tony Scott, Steve Tisch

Starring: Denzel Washington, John Travolta, Luis Guzmán, Victor Gojcaj, John Turturro, James Gandolfini(IMDb). Rated-R 106min.

The taking, the taking, the taking of my full attention. This was a delight. I wonder what the 70's version of the film is like. In any event, when I saw the preview, I was not enthused. I thought OK, I'll check it out. So finally when the the film was released- honestly, I'm still waiting for Transformers, and GI-Joe. I didn't even know the release date of this film, but I'm glad I saw it.

Washington was great, and Travolta was explosive. The support cast was stellar. It was good to see Gandolfini again. It was an awesome cast. Ya know, I'm experiencing writers block right now, and yeah the casting was great moving on.

Washington's character was humble, imperfect, and lovable. And Travolta's character was driven, unethical, comedic, and charismatic. Washington's character was a regular working guy, and Travolta's character was an avaricious criminal who seemed genuinely concerned about the struggles of the average worker; there was a modicum of honor in his disposition.

Pelham 123 was not boring at all, very engaging. I think the dialogue between Travolta and Washignton was the most amusing part of the film. According to metacritic.comn, the film earned mixed reviews, and rottentomatoes.com granted the film 61 fresh tomatoes to 59 rotten ones thus far. I enjoyed this film I'll grade it an 82.
