DVD Summer Blockbuster: The Dark Knight, Eagle Eye, Mamma Mia, Mummy 3

While we are on the trail of DVD. I’ve also dig out some of last summer’s Blockbuster out and have arun through on my DVD player, which literally over heated after the 8 disk run HAHA!

First up is the memorable and totally Dark, The Dark Knight, the 3 hours show is a great memory of how a great action movies doesn’t necessary have to be second rated or auctioned centered only. There’s no hero character that is more human and breakable than Batman and who’s dark past and identity nearly take the character to a journey of moral struggle and multiple identity confusion, with the most realistic and incomparable Joker ever. (We believe that Heath will again take home the OSCAR coming Sunday for his portrayal of the Psychotic criminal.) and without a doubt the less stable hearted Harvey Dent is trick into the Dark side with the killing of his fiancé who is also Bruce Wayne love interest.

One action after another I switch for the comic fiction to a most original fiction movie of the summer, Eagle Eye. The mega computer that have the all seeing eye after loading in to virtually every network on earth. Have decided that the United State is in danger with it’s current government and decided to execute the virtual test of the assassination of the cabinet member in real time. Shia LeBeouf portray both identical twin brother, the one who stop the machine from executing the mission and the brother that ditched Stanford and tracked down by the machine and set on a run to the machine to reactivate the mission. Throughout the movies, he is trapped in a fake terrorist attack set up by the computer and frame into becoming a fugitive of the law. He is then joined by a mother that is threatened into the conspiracy with possible kidnapping and killing of her son, who’d be the instrument in a charity show in Washington for the cabinet that would ignite a bomb that would kill them all. Of course as all fictional stories, the character in the end won over the computer and save the world. The movie also stars Billy Bob Thornton, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson, Michael Chiklis and Ethan Embry.

After much dramatic action, now let us relax with some fantastic musical before we move on. One of the most loved Broadway classic is brought on to the big screen by the original team of the musical show, Mamma Mia, starred Meryl Streep as the mother Donna and Amanda Seyfried as the daughter Sophie. Who will be married to the very handsome Dominic Cooper, and the fathers are portrayed by Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård, and Colin Firth. And the side kick of Donna is taken by Rachel McDowall and Julie Walters. The movie is mostly shot on location in the beautiful Greece, which brought a new life to the stage savvy musical.

Last of the DVD I watch during last week is Mummy 3. I must say with the discontinuation of the storyline from the previous 2 installment is a bit of an disappointment at first, but the backdrop of China and the introduction of some new character in the movie have make it a great more fun to watch. the Chinese mummy like the Egypt are able to perform many supernatural power over the Earth’s 5 element and transform himself into a dragon and other mystical beast throughout the movie. And to watch Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh fighting in the same movie is a great plus.
