...a secret society, called the Illuminati in their search for pieces of a mysterious device which when combined, during a rare alignment of planets, will give the owner unlimited power. Croft must find and destroy the device before the evil Illuminati can use it for their own nefarious purposes. This is an enjoyable film with a decent story which is a bit weak in places. It is very similar to the Indiana Jones films in terns of style and plot, but ...

One of the nicest Disney's adventure movies

Advantages: Based on C.S. Lewis' book
Disadvantages: is unfaithful to the book

In my opinion, one of the most interesting movies produced by Disney, it is based ont one of the "Chronicles of Narnia, a book series about a magic place called Narnia. On "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe", four brothers and sisters, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, refugees from the war, go to the house of Professor Kirke, and old and misterious man, and there they find a magic wardrobe that leads them to another world, on a place called Narnia, ...
...the White Witch, who stole the reign of Aslam, the Lion, and the four kids find out that they are destinated to free Narnia from the White Witch's hands, with the help of Aslam and the other magic animals that live there. Although the movie is unfaithful to the book (like all movies based on books), it is very nice, and good with the special effects. Like a Narnia fan, I recommend the movie, and, of course, the books. ...

Will you be my hero Hancock?

Advantages: Willl Smith is good, funny in parts
Disadvantages: Not best story ever

...it a go. Hancock is a story about a superhero called Hancock (Will Smith). Hancock isn't your normal superhero though. He drinks, he is lazy, he tends to break things a lot and no-one seems to like him much. We see him in the beginning of the film lying on a bench, drunk looking a bit like someone who is homeless. He has to be woken up by a child to show him that there is a high speed police chase going on. Hancock goes to help but as usual seems ...
...the car. Just in time Hancock flies in and tips the car up throwing it on to the cards queued behind whilst stopping the train with his body. The people are still annoyed as Hancock has thrown the car on theirs, causing a lot of damage as usual. One man appreciates his gesture though and that is Ray. Hancock flies the car back to Rays house where he meets Rays wife Mary (Charlize Theron) and son Aaron (Jae Head). Ray invites Hancock in for dinner ...
