Robin Hood is a new attempt to take the height set by "Gladiator." And this time the attempt was successful! It has been a long time since such historical thriller of the same ideal proportions, as the "Robin Hood" appeared in the theatres. The movie features fierce battles, which are perfectly balanced by the intrigues of public policy, revenge, romance and pastoral rural life in the family estate. Actor's work by Russell Crowe is perfectly good. Ridley Scott lovingly and painstakingly recreated on screen, the smallest details of everyday life of the Medieval. "The untold story of how man became a legend" - the slogan reads "Robin Hood" and the movie really tells how to become a legend. It's about how a true knight, the best economic manager and a standard of masculinity learned and continued to develop the big ideas of his predecessors.

Irish author Jonathan Swift first published Gulliver's Travels in 1726, and it became an immediate sensation. Since then, Gulliver's Travels never has gone out-of-print, and its twenty-first century sales remain nearly as robust as they were in the sixteenth. Universally acknowledged as a classic of British literature, Swift's wonderwork scathingly satirizes human nature and parodies "travellers' tales." Not surprising, then, Hollywood has attempted to bring Gulliver's story to life on film in every decade since the medium was invented. Typically, the special effects have failed to keep pace with Swift's imagination. In the story's latest reprise, a slightly modernized version, the special effects are up to the challenge, but the question emerges, "Is Jack Black up to it?" Black has disappointed fans with his last couple of ventures, but critics say he looks "at ease" as he goes for "big" laughs in the land of the Lilliputians. The producers and director have built-in a few features to give Black a healthy bounce: Updating the story, they show Gulliver as a contemporary mailroom guy who finally catches a break, winning a travel-writing assignment in the Bermuda Triangle. 3D has gotta help the contrast between big Gulliver and little Lilliputians, and an all-star supporting cast is expected to bring out the best of Black's comic gifts.

Revival of predation franchise, announced by Robert Rodriguez, featuring in The Losers as a writer and producer, became not so spectacular as it was waiting for. For the movie directed by Nimrod Antal we are expecting something more than running through the woods in the style of "Rambo: First Blood" and in a spirit of divination "who will die next." The maximum that allowed himself to Rodriguez is sadly growing number of corpses, a little red and green blood and uncertain statement that predators are the people themselves, supported by a quote from Hemingway. Statement by the way, in this case, is little bit controversial, since a good half of the time most of the earthlings saves and covers each other: like in the best tradition of some honest and not always exciting team play.

The third part of the saga about the elusive "avenger" attacked viewers from all the sides by the action could be comparable with Doug Lyman's one only. But in something The Bourne Ultimatum has overtaken him, for example, in suspense. It's not so surprising, taking into account the fact that director Paul Greengrass, this time take into account his mistakes make in the last movie. He almost brought it to perfection by the intrigues within the organization that pursues irrepressible Jason Bourne. "The film has gained an adventurous spirit, which lacked the second sequel, and the viewer itself got involved in a confrontation between Bourne and the his many rivals. Bourne is not only dangerous, he still allows himself to laugh at the most senior officials, deceiving them as blind kittens. The more Greengrass self-irony is seen, interspersed in the brief and romping Bourne fights with each another recruit. It should be noted that Bourne is increasingly opposed to the agent James Bond in the warfare usage. If the vaunted Mr. Bond uses a variety of gadgets, in order to kill the enemy, then the Born just takes the first available book and efficiently kills without taking the spirit…
