Buffalo's This Week in Movies: Prince of Persia, Letters to Juliet, Robin Hood, Iron Man 2

Posted: Jun 01, 2010

It’s been quite a while since I was able to review movies, but I have been lucky enough to catch a few over the past couple of weeks. Here are my thoughts. Brief and to the point.

First off, Prince of Persia, another film based on a video game. Jake Gyllenhaal is excellent asthe poor orphan boy adopted by a king who goes on to become a well loved member of the royal family. At least until he is accused of murder and sent running, accompanied by his mortal enemy, the Princess Tamina. played by Gemma Arteron, a pouty hot babe with the attitude of Princess Leah in Star Wars.

Ben Kingsley is just plain badass as Dastan’s Uncle Nizam, sporting serious eyeliner and a bad attitude. Good acting all around and lots of action. A typical Disney epic that blends memories of  Pirates of The Caribbean with Indiana Jones. Four out of five stars for the Prince.

Letters to Juliet is a pretty good chick flick. Enough love and romance to make it the perfect date movie, and lots of breathtaking scenery in Italy. Amanda Seyfried plays Sophie, a fact checker for The New Yorker who wants to be a writer. While on a visit to Italy with her fiance, she discovers something that will change her life, and a few others, forever. Vanessa Redgrave steals the show as the elderly woman who still believes in love and that it is “never too late.” Bless her heart, you can see the real pain in her pretty face. After all, she lost her daughter last year and her sister Lynn as well. Sweet, romantic, and fun. Four stars.

Robin Hood. Okay, how many times has the story been told on screen now? My opinion is this - if you can’t make it BETTER than the other versions, don’t do it. Sure, this is like a “prequel” to the whole "rob from the rich and give to the poor" thing, but still, even Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett can't elevate this picture to where I thought it would be. Two stars.

Iron Man 2 Loved it. Better than the first one. Plus Scarlett Johansen as Black Widow. Yum. Sam Jackson rules as Nick Fury, and Don Cheadle is amazing. Then there’s Oscar Winner Mickey Rourke, outdoing himself as Whiplash. Comics fans the world over let out a collective scream on opening night. It is that good, with a killer soundtrack, and yet another “after the credits” teaser. Oh, and did everyone catch the cameo by Captain America’s shield? Five Stars.

Keep it Real. Except in the movies. Buffalo

"Yeah, he should," Dortmunder said. "I wonder what he's doing," Murch said. He was talking taxis with Murch's Mom. They were trading horror stories-the hippie driver fresh from Boston who didn't know there was a section of the city called Queens, the Oriental who didn't speak English and who drove at twelve miles an hour to the wrong airport- until finally it was Harrington who said, "But I'm sorry, I've changed the subject. I do apologize. We were talking about the ransom." "Oh, yeah," Murch's Mom said. She looked at her UGG Boots Clearance watch, and it was almost quarter after four. "Right. Okay, let me start again. You'll get in the Cadillac with your chauffeur, but no other passengers." "Yes." "You'll drive to Interstate 80, and get up on it westbound. Drive at a steady fifty. We'll meet you along the way." "Where?" Murch's Mom frowned again. "What?" "You'll meet me where along the way?" "I don't tell you that now. You just UGG Boots Clearance get up there, and we'll contact you." "But I don't understand. Where is it I'm going? What's my destination?" "You just get on 80," Murch's Mom told him, "and travel west at fifty miles an hour. That's all you do, and we'll take over from there." The sense of camaraderie she'd felt with him over the Ugg boots clearance issue of New York taxicabs had vanished; once again, what she really wanted to do was wring his neck. "I've never heard of such a thing," Harrington Ugg boots clearance said. "No destination. I don't know anyone who travels that way." "Just do it," Murch's Mom said, and hung up in exasperation. Going outside, she got into the Roadrunner her son had stolen for her this morning, and headed for the other phone booth. She had originally objected to this move, saying she didn't see why she couldn't make both calls from the same booth, but Kelp had showed Ugg boots clearance her where in Child Heist it was explained the cops might be tracing the first call, and might show up pretty soon at the phone booth where the call was made. So okay, she'd go to the other phone booth. Northward, Dortmunder and March continued to sit in the Mustang and wait. March said, "Do we have the number of the phone booth where Mom makes her first call?" "No. Why should we?" "I thought we could call her, see if anything went wrong." "The smart guy that wrote the book," Dortmunder said, "didn't say anything about that." On the Harrington estate, Herbert Harrington stood beside his Cadillac and argued with the head FBI man. "I don't see," he said, "why I can't have my own chauffeur. I like the way he drives." "Kirby's a good driver," the head FBI man said. He was being patient in a way to show how impatient he really was. "And he's along just in case anything happens. Like they decide to kidnap you, too." "Now, why on earth would they kidnap me? Who'd pay the ransom?" "Your wife," the head FBI man said.
