Spectacular battle scenes, stunning artistry, and mind blowing cinematography all describe Zack Snyder’s 300 action packed, blood soaked drama based on Frank miller’s graphic novel 300. Computer graphics, a lot of slow motion, and an excellent portrayal of King Leonidas delivered by Gerard Butler make 300 an entertaining movie well worth watching.

If you love music mixed with great drama then Phantom of the Opera is a must see. The performances given were superb including that of Gerard Butler as the Phantom. He brought intensity, suffering, and pain to the role not only through his acting but with his excellent delivery of song. The costumes and sets were amazing. Phantom of the Opera is complete with razzle dazzle, outstanding acting, captivating drama, and fantastic music all combined to make it an enthralling entertainment experience!
Nim’s Island

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

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.
The Jury
In Drama on July 6, 2008 at 6:24 pm
I found the Jury to be exceptional entertainment full of suspense and drama. I think that Gerard Butler’s role of the recovering alcoholic was one of his best. His character as Johnnie Donne was incredibly intense. This mini series was well cast and directed. It excellently gave life to the drama in each jurors life out side of the court room which directly affected their place there. I enjoyed this mini seriers very much and I highly recommend it especially for those who really enjoy court room drama.
PS, I Love You
In Comedy, Romance on July 6, 2008 at 3:36 am
This is a charming romantic comedy laced with drama. It’s emotionally charged theme can be related to by anyone who has lost someone they love. Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank deliver touching scenes in their dynamic performances along with the equally talented “hilarious” supporting cast. A tear jerker, yes, a total chick flick, I am not so sure. It seems everyone enjoyed this unpredictable love story that found you in tears in minute and laughing out loud the next. Be sure to watch this enjoyable touching film.
The Cherry Orchard
In Drama on July 6, 2008 at 3:30 am
The Cherry Orchard is the production of Anton Chekhov’s play by Mihalis Kakogiannis. It is the story of a wealthy family in 1900 Russia, a time of social and political revolution, who own a country estate with a beautiful cherry orchard. Its a story about having wealth and priviledges and then losing it all. Other than the beautiful cinematography and amazing costumes along with Gerard Butler’s character of the family servant Yasha, I found the movie to a bit boring.
DEAR FRANKIE
In Drama on July 5, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Dear Frankie is a heart warming film that draws out your emotions. This very moving story is brilliantly directed and refreshingly lacks that Hollywood “glitz”. Dear Frankie touches the soul and fills the heart with compasssion with well placed humor woven in and out. This is a little masterpiece that promises to tie your heart strings in knots and bring tears to your eyes and yet brings a peaceful sense of happy. This is a very entertaining film, well written and well cast. A must see for everyone!!!!
ATTILA
In Action on July 5, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Attila, the historical epic mini series, is a riveting telling of the story of Attila the Hun. There is plenty of action and gore in this made for network television movie. This romanced version of Attila was excellently cast especially the role of Attila played by Gerard Butler. His intense portrayal of the arrogant and powerful Attila delivers a magnificent performance. Although history tells us that Attila was an evil man, one of the most evil through history, this film strays slightly from the actual historical facts but still shows Attila as a great leader. Aside from the historical accurateness which does not affect the entertainment quality of this film, it is an enjoyable film with an interesting plot, well written, and directed delivering top notch cinematography equal to productions on the big screen. The director, Dick Lowry, said in a making of interview in 2000 “If there was ever a star-making role and a guy with the potential to become a star, Gerard Butler and Attila are it.” Well he got the part about Gerard Butler right didn’t he????
Dracula 2000
In Drama on July 5, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Wes Craven’s Dracula 2000 is a modern version of many told vampire stories. A sealed silver coffin is thought to contain treasures, thieves find out to their death, none other than Dracula inside. This Dracula played by Gerard Butler doesn’t look like any other vampire from the older movies. If vampire movies are your forte then you will probably enjoy this one.
