Miami Vice (2006)

After a tragic security breach in the Joint Inter-Agency Task Force (JIATF), the FBI ask for help from the Miami authorities, who are not part of the compromised group. This assignment goes to Detectives James 'Sonny' Crockett and Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs. Going undercover as offshore boat racers and outlaw smugglers Sonny Burnett and Rico Cooper, they take on the narcotrafficking network of the mysterious Archangel de Jesus Montoya-Londono and his Cuban Chinese banker Isabella. The intensity of the case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one - especially when Crockett falls for Isabella, and when there is an assault on Tubbs's loved ones.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*哎呀,這樣的結尾太吊人胃口啦~
*這個系列的電影,實在都很難聽的懂耶,唉,連看了中文再去想英文,往往好幾句都生不出一個單字~
*Davy Jones的愛人是: Calypso~
*幽冥飛船是: The Flying Dutchman,最早是荷蘭的傳說,是一艘鬼船,必需一直在"七大洋"航行,永遠不得靠岸;在1826年時,英國作家Edward Fitzball將The Flying Dutchman寫成一部同名的戲劇;1841年,華格納也有拿這個題材寫一齣歌劇哦~
*明年才有第三集吧~

A Knight's Tale (2001)

Inspired by "The Canterbury Tales," this is the story of William, a young squire with a gift for jousting. After his master dies suddenly, the squire hits the road with his cohorts Roland and Wat. On the journey, they stumble across an unknown writer, Chaucer. William, lacking a proper pedigree, convinces Chaucer to forge genealogy documents that will pass him off as a knight. With his newly-minted history in hand, the young man sets out to prove himself a worthy knight at the country's jousting competition, and finds romance along the way.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Tagline: From peasant to knight; one man can change his stars.
*原來這部電影是如此的搞笑~
*Paul Bettany飾演的引言人,搞民粹嘛,討好群眾,這段介紹真是經典: My lords, my ladies, and everybody else here not sitting on a cushion! Today... today, you find yourselves equals. For you are all equally blessed. For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure of introducing to you to a knight, sired by knights. A knight who can trace his lineage back beyond Charlemagne. I first met him atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking his forgiveness for the Saracen blood spilt by his sword. Next, he amazed me still further in Italy when he saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishing of her dreadful Turkish uncle. In Greece he spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper. And so without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Sir Ulllrrrich von Lichtenstein! Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.
*上面那段感覺有點宗教敵對的味道,為什麼是Turkish uncle? 暗指回教嗎=.=
*好笑歸好笑,感人落淚的戲劇張力還是有哦,當然就是失明的老爸,也聽到大家高喊Sir William Thatcher那一幕啦~
*最後4個人比放屁是有何用意呢?
*這麼巧,演Adhemar的正是The Legend of Zorro中的Armand,由Rufus Sewell擔綱的大反派(也是英國人)~

We're No Angels (1989)

couple of escaped convicts on the run find refuge with the Church when they are mistaken for two priests. The two are keen to flee but are unable to do so without the help of Molly.






-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Tagline: Escaped convicts disguised as priests. It'll take a miracle to get away with this one.
*1955年同名電影翻拍的哦,由Humphrey Bogart領銜的三個逃犯,留在法屬殖民地,原本打算落跑,卻留在村莊幫忙~
*這部的卡司更為恐怖,Robert De Niro和Sean Penn,再加上Demi Moore;只不過,純搞笑啦~
*Robert De Niro威脅主教的表情好多,好好笑~
*Sean Penn最後的佈道,我覺得一點也不感人啊,怎麼台下的聽眾都一副感同身受的樣子呢~

Munich (2005)

In the aftermath of the Black September's assassination of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich games, Prime Minister Golda Meir okays a black box operation to hunt down and kill all involved. A team of five gathers in Switzerland led by Avner, a low-level Mossad techie who's father was a war hero and who's wife is pregnant. It's an expendable team, but relying on paid informants, they track and kill several in Europe and Lebanon. They must constantly look over their shoulders for the CIA, KGB, PLO, and their own sources. As the body count mounts -- with retribution following retribution -- so do questions, doubts, and sleepless nights. Loyalties blur. What does it mean to be a Jew?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Tagline: The world was watching in 1972 as 11 Israeli athletes were murdered at the Munich Olympics. This is the story of what happened next. (這麼長哦?)
*像這樣人質挾持的歷史事件,的確是電影的最佳題材,雖然片中不乏碰碰的火拚鏡頭,不過,明眼人也知道,重點不在於以牙還牙,以眼還眼的"暴力美學",而是在於永不停歇的殺戮,究竟能為"和平"做些什麼...?
*片中倒是沒有提供什麼"方法",諸位看倌自己去思考啦~
*演Hector的Eric Bana在這裡突然變得沒有那麼"果斷";他是澳洲人~
