21st film in the 007 Franchise introduces a new 007 and goes back
to its roots. Daniel Craig stars as the latest incarnation of James
Bond, special agent and international man of mystery and intrigue.
The first Bond film in many years to be based on one of the
original Ian Fleming books, Casino Royale is a quieter, subtler,
more brooding breed of action film, which is not to say there's any
less blowings up, dirty tricks, sexy women or chase sequences. Bond
is in Montenegro at a highly exclusive casino where Le Chiffre
(Mads Mikkelsen) a moneyman for an international terrorist group,
is raising funds for their misdeeds through high-stakes gambling.
007 must infiltrate the group and ultimately defeat the rogue
player, both on and off the tables.
Double bill of fantasy action films. '300' (2006), adapted from
Frank Miller's comic book series, is a modern retelling of the
Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC, when the 100,000 strong invading
Persian Army of King Xerxes was held back in a narrow mountain pass
by 300 Spartans. King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) is given four days
by Persia's King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) to lay down his arms and
surrender. Rejecting the proposal, the battle ensues, and the
Spartans are only defeated by the treachery of local shepherd
Ephialtes (Andrew Tiernan), who shows the Persians a secret route,
enabling them to outflank their opponents. In the second film,
'300: Rise of an Empire' (2014), based on Miller's graphic novel
'Xerxes' and set before, during and after '300', Athenian General
Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) leads the Greek Army in a war
against the invasion of King Xerxes I, naval commander Artemisia
(Eva Green) and their Persian forces. Themistocles allies with the
Spartans but they are still outnumbered by Xerxes' men. Who will be
victorious? The film was co-written by Zack Snyder and Kurt
Johnstad and also stars Lena Headey, Jack O'Connell and Hans
Matheson.
Collection of four films starring Johnny Depp. In 'The Astronaut's
Wife' (1999), on a seemingly routine mission to repair a space
satellite, astronaut Spencer Armacost (Depp) loses contact with
Mission Control for a period of time. Once Spencer has returned to
Earth his wife Jillian (Charlize Theron) falls pregnant with twin
boys, but her joy is tempered by the suspicion that something
terrible happened to her husband in space - something which could
threaten the entire human race. In 'Dark Shadows' (2012), when
playboy Barnabas Collins (Depp) breaks the heart of the beautiful
Angelique Brouchard (Eva Green), an old family curse is released as
Angelique, a witch, turns Barnabas into a vampire before burying
him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed and
emerges into the very changed world of 1972. Returning to his
former home at Collinwood Manor, he finds his estate in ruins and
the dysfunctional dregs of his family in tatters. Matriarch
Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has enlisted the
services of live-in psychiatrist Dr Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham
Carter) to help with her numerous family problems - but between
Elizabeth's loser brother, Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller), her
rebellious teenage daughter, Carolyn Stoddard (Chloë Moretz), and
Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver
McGrath), Dr Hoffman has certainly got her work cut out. 'Sweeney
Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' (2007), Tim Burton's film
version of the Stephen Sondheim musical, is based on a 'penny
dreadful' tale (which later became an urban myth) from the mid-19th
Century. The story centres around Benjamin Barker (Depp), a barber
who returns to London after spending years in exile for a crime he
didn't commit. He soon discovers from pie-maker Mrs Lovett (Bonham
Carter) that, in his absence, his wife has taken her own life and
his daughter is now in the care of the man who had him sent away -
the dastardly Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman). Seeking revenge and
filled with a murderous rage, Barker sets up a barber's shop above
Mrs Lovett's premises. Now calling himself Sweeney Todd, Barker
kills off all his customers with a razor to the throat and sends
their cadavers to the shop below to be used as a tasty new filling
for Mrs Lovett's meat pies. What was once the worst pie shop in
London quickly becomes one of the city's most popular eateries, but
Barker won't be satisfied until he can lure Judge Turpin into the
barber's chair... In 'Don Juan DeMarco' (1994) Marlon Brando plays
a psychiatrist whose last case, that of Don Juan (Depp), is his
most difficult. Don Juan is the world's greatest lover, having
seduced over 1000 women, and his amorous tales totally captivate
the analyst, re-awakening passions which he thought had been lost
forever.
