Movie Reviews of Uncovered
Movie Review: THE SMOLDERING YOUNG KATE BECKINSALE
Summary: 5 Stars
Three and a half Stars, so I upgraded to Four Stars! "Uncovered" is murder mystery movie that is quite unusual. Unusual in that it covers a centuries old murder, all emanating from a silent source of clues, and the twists and turns keep coming from beginning to end. Beckingsale, an art restorer, finds herself in the unwitting and unwilling role of detective as well, presumably to drive up the cost of a painting that Beckinsale is restoring. I love the technique she uses to fend off unwanted male attention: a real effective technique! And watch for when she doesn't use it! LOL.
While the cast gives very good performances, this is the young Kate Beckinsale's movie to win or lose because she is in virtually every scene of substance: she is a FABULOUS actress! Sporting a fetchingly short boyish haircut, soulful eyes, and pouty lips that Angelina Jolie would love to have, she is the prototypical marvel of a young, pretty, totally compelling British actress. Oh, and there are some fascinating views of Barcelona. The story line gets somewhat muddled near the end, but who cares, watching the rangy Beckinsale eating up this movie is quite mesmerizing in and of itself. There is some tasteful moderate partial nudity and much profanity, but it's 'closed-captioned' so TV Guardian can filter the language. Great cinematography and excellent music. Well worth a look!! Three and a half Stars!!
Movie Review: MY APOLOGIES
Summary: 5 Stars
Much work had to go into the production of UNCOVERED, and I'm not going to bad-mouth the movie because I couldn't hear it. I'm very hard of hearing and couldn't understand a word without Closed Caption (CC) or subtitles.
The movie was sold with CC.
The Captions flickered on and off some of the time not enough to read anything. The back cover also mentioned subtitled in Spanish. There were no subtitle options.
The movie looked good. The plot looked very interesting about a painting that held secrets. I don't know what of, but people start getting murdered. I'm sure this is a good flick. Kate Beckinsale is outstanding with lots of interesting support.
I won't send the movie back, it seemed that good. When my girl friend comes over I have her translate for me.
MY APOLOGIES, MY APOLOGIES, I WAS VIEWING THIS MOVIE WITH COREL WINPRO 2010. AFTER MUCH TROUBLE WITH THIS FREE-TRIAL SOFTWARE, I REMOVED IT FROM MY COMPUTER AND PAID $16.08 FOR ROXIO - SONIC CINE PLAYER DVD DECODER PACK V.2.31. I NOTICED AN IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE IN PICTURE QUALITY AND I HAD CLOSED CAPTION.
AND BY THE WAY, THE MOVIE WAS VERY ENTERTAINING, AN ENJOYABLE MYSTERY. I RECOMMEND IT.
Movie Review: Young Kate Beckinsale
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't go into the plot of the movie in any detail, since many previous reviews have already done that. This is not a well-known movie. However, please do not let that stop you from buying or renting it. This is a wonderful movie to watch. It just goes to show that a movie doesn't have to be a blockbuster at the box office to be good.
This is one of Kate Beckinsale's earlier films. It was a treat to watch her youthful charm and charisma at this stage in her career. She was simply adorable as Julia, a young lady who makes her living restoring works of art. And that short haircut simply looked sexy on her. Anyway, I have always considered her to be a good actress. And this is certainly a film to own for those who are fans of Kate Beckinsale. If you would like to see Kate's earlier films, I highly recommend both Haunted and Much Ado About Nothing.
The supporting casts include talented veterans such as Michael Gough, John Wood, Art Malik, and Sinead Cusack.
Movie Review: An underappreciated gem
Summary: 5 Stars
A surprisingly good mystery with strong performances by the entire cast. This features Kate B. before the fake boobs and the fake attitude and she is delightful-possibly her best performance as an actress. Some have complained that the murder mystery is a bit contrived and of course it is--almost all murder mysteries are a bit contrived, but the intertwining of the old mystery with the new mystery is very well done. It's also a joy to see a movie which recognizes the existence of the game of chess.
One sour note is the first few minutes of the sound track which is an unbelievably wretched piece of music. Feel free to turn the sound off until there is dialogue. If you choose not to, don't say I didn't warn you.
Movie Review: Sexy Restorer of Paintings
Summary: 5 Stars
Kate Beckinsale is the sexiest British girl I recall ever seeing in movies. I own several with her, but her nude scenes are rare- just this movie and "Underworld Evolution" in my collection. I bought a copy of this movie a few years ago, but my sister stole it, so I sought a replacement and found it at Amazon. There is an intriguing mystery about a Renaissance painting that Kate is restoring in the movie. A hidden message appears, and it ties in with some recent murders. I'm an artist, so I love the subject and seeing Kate undressed too makes this a movie I want badly to own. More than one thing is "Uncovered" in this movie.
