My two all-time favorite actors; Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie - together - in the same movie. Life is just too good to be true sometimes! Or is it...?
Two of the best and most sexy actors in the whole world sharing the screen. It should be magical, dynamite, sensual. People should be flabbergasted by talent and movie theaters should explode of all the hotness. But something is not quite right.
Any movie starring both Robert de Niro and Al Pacino have to be good, and Righteous Kill lived up to my expectations! Most people give it a bad review, but I really liked it. Most of all because of the chemistry between de Niro and Pacino. I guess most people had too high expectations before watching a movie starring two of the most legendary actors still alive. So it might be better to not expect too much before watching it...
Movie summary:

They both have personal issues, and when they start working with a younger team, Perez and Riley, tensions between the pairs of partners is inevitable, especially since Turk is now dating Perez's ex-girlfriend, also a homicide detective. » More info about Righteous Kill on IMDb
"Why didn't anyone tell me that you can't take the subway to Yumbo???"
Even though its over a year since "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" came out, I haven't heard so much about it and neither have I had any desire to watch it. The only thought I have had about the movie is that John Travolta finally embraced the gay leather biker living inside him. Next we'll se him wandering around in Yumbo... ;)
But yesterday we ended up with this movie, and now it is one of my all time favorites! I'm not a big fan of typical american movies, and not so much of action movies either. But this movie was surprisingly great! And especially the performances by John Travolta and Denzel Washington. Absolutely worth a shot!

Movie summary:
In early afternoon, four armed men hijack a subway train in Manhattan. They stop on a slight incline, decoupling the first car to let the rest of the train coast back. Their leader is Ryder; he connects by phone with Walter Garber, the dispatcher watching that line. Garber is a supervisor temporarily demoted while being investigated for bribery. Ryder demands $10 million within an hour, or he'll start shooting hostages. He'll deal only with Garber. The mayor okays the payoff, the news of the hostage situation sends the stock market tumbling, and it's unclear what Ryder really wants or if Garber is part of the deal. Will hostages, kidnappers, and negotiators live through this?
Watching Celda 211. Highly recommended movie! "The story of two men on different sides of a prison riot -- the inmate leading the rebellion and the young guard trapped in the revolt, who poses as a prisoner in a desperate attempt to survive the ordeal. " More info: http://amzn.to/cjaEwb
