Nim’s Island is an adorable film well suited for the whole family. Gerard Butler does an excellent job in his duo roles of Jack Rusoe and Alex Rover. Jodie Foster is an excellent actress and her performance in Nim’s Island didn’t let us down with her oh so funny role. Abigail Breslin made Nim very believable, she will definitely be around for awhile. We all need a litle fantasy, life is so “real” so experiencing the unrealistic in films is a escape. Nim’s Isalnd is a cute adventure with beautiful scenery, I highly recommend it for “kids” of all ages!!!

Reign of Fire takes us on a fantasy ride to the future in the science fiction drama about terrorizing dragons. Christian Bale, Mathew Mcconaughey, and Gerard butler each have convincing heroic roles. I can’t say that this is a film I enjoyed, but I will say that Rob Bowan certainly didn’t create a masterpiece by any means but the cinematography is pretty darned amazing. The one scene that stood out for me was when Bale and Butler were acting out a scene from Star Wars, that was pretty cute.
Beowulf & Grendel
In Action, Adventure, Drama on July 5, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Beowulf and Grendel is the epic feature based on the Anglo Saxon poem “Beowulf” directed by Sturla Gunnarsson filmed against the breathtakingly beautiful backdrop of Iceland. This version of Beowulf written by Andrew Berzins added humor and the vulnerable human quality given to Grendel gave it a new twist. Gerard Butler (Bewoulf) and Stellan Skarsgard (King Hothgar) gave excellent performances but it was Ingvar Sigurdsson’s portrayal of Grendel that took front stage. He excellently conveyed all feelings and emotions through gestures, expressions, and actions. Cast and crew put their heart and souls into this thought provoking version of the anient poem about people in a primitive time in this compelling drama free of CGI. It is well worth seeing.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
In Action, Adventure on July 5, 2008 at 6:27 pm
This is the follow action film second in the Lara Croft adventures. Angelina Jolie and co-star Gerard Butler produce chemistry from both ends of the magnet, attracting and repelling through out the film. If you like continuous actions with explosions and gunfire you will most likely enjoy The Cradle of Life.
