Plot : Rob is going away to his new job in Japan , but not before his big surprise party. Though what seems in certain motion is thrown off when a monster attacks New York. Story : I've been following this since it's debut trailer before Transformers. It has been an amazingly played marketing trail leading up to this movie and this movie lives up to it's massive hype in some ways over others. Your introduced to the characters and the handy-cam style of filming with a big party. Though the film starts to dig into it's characters a little they aren't very fleshed out at the end. The story is also something that seems to be lacking content - all the marketing of the movie never actually comes into play at all. The monster is never explained and there aren't any hints to how it come about. Overall it relies heavily on it's premise of being filmed by a character and succeeds as being the best monster movie ever. Visuals : A mixture of amazing CGI landscapes and incredibly realistic handy-cam filming technique. The camera that films the movie is as much a part of the movie as it's monster. As for the monster , it is briefly seen throughout and never fully exposed. This could have been a horrible experiment but instead it turned out to be one of the most visually breathtaking films ever. Synopsis : Though lacking in content and character - it's a monster/disaster situation pulled off to it's full potential.

Plot : Three escaped convicts go on a crazy adventure for a huge treasure. Story : Everett (George Clooney) , Pete (John Turturro) , and Pete (Tim Nelson) escape from their rock smashing days and journy onward toward a magnificent treasure. They encounter many odd situations and twists untill they end up in a bigger scale of importance than they ever thought they would. On their journey they encounter a hitchhiker/guitar player who says he sold his soul to the devil to learn to play his instrument , the same devil who then hunts down the main characters the rest of the movie (though very breif his scenes are). Some themes of trust and religion are thrown in there to enhance the characters further - keeping it a pretty great story to keep you watching to the end. Humor : The movie's entire plot and themes are very funny in a subtle way with some laugh out loud parts throught the movie - it never gets dark for a long period of time : and you'll probably never fear for the characters : with such a funny essence about them. Ending : One of the biggest - out of nowhere - endings . Two other main characters aren't even shown in the ending , but it's a lot more in place than others : because of it's continuing theme of the characters not ever progressing "and when they do it's by extreme luck". Visuals : Out of the Coen films i've seen so far , this is easily their visual best. Amazing cinemetography for the majority of the movie , although it's colors dominated by pretty boring dusty settings : will continually visually awe you. Sypnosis : Although it's story is a lot more straightforward than the majority of the Coen films , it still missing some big developments like many great stories : though the visuals and humorous style of it won't let you down on. (I've never read The Odyssey by the way)

Plot : A bee who refuses to accept his role as a worker in the hive - defies all bee laws and boundries to find a bigger thing to do with his life. Story : The characters are paper thin , is defintly the first thing you should know before walking into this movie. Barry B (Jerry Seinfield) has just graduated from his 3 days of school and is now thrown right into the honey making industry where he will work the same job for the rest of his life . Unconvinced by this job he flies outside of the hive and meets a human woman who befriends him. Only soon into their relationship he finds out about the mass marketing of honey and goes to court to sue all the honey corperations. Now this story is pretty off the wall in terms of what you would normally expect out of a seemingly predictable movie like this , but it's characters are useless - they're just pods for the dialouge to come out from : with no emotions (aside from the main character Barry who actually has some in the beginning). Humor : I never laughed out loud ever during the film , maybe I was going in with too high expectations - but there are some funny parts throughout the film : and some general themes about the preservation of life (bees in the movie accept death amazingly well). Visuals : It's cool gigantic first person bee flying sprees are fun to watch , but when you compare this to the recent Ratatouille : the 3D is quite laughable. Tons of amazing detail that you have come to expect from Pixar studios is obviously lacking here. Sypnosis : Fast paced out of controll story (with a couple cliche's thrown in there) with no characters and a lacking visual punch.
