Snatch

I recently watched the movie Snatch (Directed by Guy Ritchie) . The movie contains two main plots that intertwine. The first focuses on a very valuable 86 carat diamond. It is stolen by Frankie 'Four-Fingers' (Benicio del Toro) and brought to London, (originally to be brought to a group of Jewish money launderers led by by Abraham "Cousin Avi" Denovitz) where the diamoned falls into the hands of local thieves and underworld figures, all of whom scramble to claim the diamond for themselves. The other plotline revolves around an unlicensed boxing promoter named Turkish (Jason Statham) who finds himself in debt to a psychotic local crime boss, Brick Top (Alan Ford), known for feeding those who fall out of his favour to his prized pigs. After his boxer Gorgeous George is beaten up by an Irish gyspy Mickey (Brad Pitt) over a trailer. Turkish and his partner Tommy decide to hire Mickey. As events twist and turn, the two situations blend into one with a chain reaction of events carrying on for each and every character.
The cinematic effects of the movie are astounding, implementing dramatic musical effects which connect the current lighting, creating a wonderful work of art that anyone can enjoy. The movie is narrated by Jason Statham, which is a good thing because of the several plot lines that are eventually tied together at the end.

It really helps the audience grasp the situation of the current scene. There are several moments where High- Key lighting really adds to the darkness of the plot. Coupled with songs which are amazing compliments to the cinematic effects, the movie really has a dark and corrupt feeling to it. The movie is hilariously finished up, leaving the audience satisfied immensely.

The Avengers

I recently watched The Incredible Hulk(2008) and was astonished at how well Marvel Comics did with it. Earlier in '08, Marvel also took part in Iron Man. (Spoilers); At the end of Iron Man, Tony Stark is approached by Nick Fury, the directer of S.H.I.E.L.D to talk about 'The Avenger Initiative' This is a cliffhanger of sorts, which will eventually lead to a sequel or two. Tony Stark also makes a cameo appearance in the Incredible Hulk, which leads to the idea that Bruce Banner is going to be recruited into the Avenger Initiative. This will all be leading to a new movie unto itself. The Avengers, set to be released in 2011, is supposed to be a culmination of several superheroes, including Thor and Captain America (both of which have movies coming out in the next few years). I believe that the way they have hyped it up at the ending of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk is an ingenious thing. The Incredible Hulk had amazing visual effects as well as spot on acting, you felt as if Edward Norton actually was Bruce Banner, and not just an actor portraying him.
