“From Hell” Movie Review
“From Hell” Plot Summary
In Victorian Era London, a troubled clairvoyant police detective investigates the murders by Jack The Ripper. add synopsis
Surprisingly decent Jack the Ripper themed horror flick
Many interpretations of Jack the Ripper’s allegory have been delineated throughout the horror genre’s past era, and while ‘From Hell’ may not be the best, it portrays the historical events in a satisfactory manner. This particularly accurate account of the London serial killer shifts it’s focus between different sets of people residing in the Whitechapel District in 1888 – most interestingly, a circle of poverty stricken prostitutes who went on to become The Ripper’s unsuspecting victims while an impassive detective works at uncovering the identity of the elusive butcher. Several strewed instances of the killer, behind closed doors, are also eerily shown, as well as the much likely generalization pertaining to his identification and overall motive. ‘From Hell’ is far better from what you would expect from a Hollywood bio-flick, since it hardly embellishes any character or fabricates much of the story; remarkably cultivating a bleak and completely ‘unsafe’ tone throughout. The London streets always covey a feeling of deep menace, even without Jack prowling around, slashing up those rough n’ tumble whores. Johnny Depp, an actor who has never ‘wowed’ to any real extremes, is surprisingly subdued in his role as an opium addicted cop who never really steals the show away, as I initially expected. Heather Graham is way too smokin’ hot, and kind of looks like a fish-out-of-water among all those raggedy hookers, though I needs me some hot, red-headed eye candy every now and again (though she doesn’t get naked, unfortunately). Strangely, the real star here is the dark entity of The Ripper, whom we really only see for short amounts of time, though his presence is strong and the scenes where he entices harlots with grapes and opium laced shots before gouging the hell out of them is creepy… Also a good deal of bloodshed here, though often stylish during the murders, themselves (namely the luminescent flash of a blade in the dark, accompanied by CG blood spatter), the aftermath is pretty gruesome, even if quite subtle, aside from grisly descriptions of vaginal mutilation and symbolic intestinal extraction. Jack’s fifth and final murder, though significantly altered for a moderately happy ending, is brutal looking and anyone who as seen the actually crime scene photos while vouch for that. And be sure to keep an eye out for Joseph Merrick (aka. The Elephant Man) who makes a brief cameo! ‘From Hell’ is a fairly truthful biographical film, despite it’s ‘Hollywood’ attitude, and is well worth a look for Ripper enthusiasts.

“Maverick” Movie Review
“Maverick” Plot Summary
Bret Maverick, needing money for a poker tournament, faces various comic mishaps and challenges, including a charming woman thief.
Good cinematography & Very friendly movie set
I had the privilege of being both an extra and a stand in. Which of course let me see and add to the inside goings on of this movie. I found in particular James garner was very congenial and friendly to the extras. Richard Donner was very purposeful and dedicated putting in overtime each day that i observed him. Along with James garner i found denver pyle and James coburn very friendly to me as i had pictures of me taken with all 3 individually. The photography is great due to the fact that we were on a real riverboat the stern wheeler ‘Lauren belle’ we were returned twice a day to the locks by tugboats and floated back to the fishery. This was all during the 2nd week of sept 1993 30 miles east of Portland,Oregon
My thanks to the other cast members and Extras.

“The Lion King” Movie Review
“The Lion King” Plot Summary
Tricked into thinking he killed his father, a guilt ridden lion cub flees into exile and abandons his identity as the future King. add synopsis
A Timeless Film
Ah…’The Lion King.’ There’s so much I can say about this movie but all my comments always come down to one thing: this movie is beautiful. Pure genius. A timeless story. I might be a little biased in my beliefs, seeing as the first movie I remember seeing in theatres is ‘The Lion King’ and I still watch it on a regular basis and know all the words but I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who agree with what I have to say. ‘The Lion King’ is beautiful; hands down, it is the best Disney film ever created
The story is something that everyone can relate to, whether they are a lion ;) or not. Simba is destined to become king one day and just can’t wait to rule the throne; everyone can relate to wanting to grow up and become an adult, to do whatever they want and not have to worry about anything. His father tries to teach him that, despite the fact that he will one day be grown and king, his life will not be easy. Simba has to learn his lesson the hard way when his Uncle Scar, who, too, wants the throne, kills his father and convinces Simba that it was his fault. Suddenly, growing up doesn’t seem so great anymore (I can *really* relate to that).
And so, Simba flees his home and comes across Timon and Pumbaa, two other outcasts. They teach Simba the ‘Hakuna Matata’ lifestyle, something that idealizes a life free of stress, worry and responsibility. Now, don’t we all wish we could live this way? No worries for the rest of our days… But when Simba’s childhood friend Nala returns, he realizes that he can’t live Hakuna Matata forever, for he does have a responsibility to his pride and his homeland. Simba understands that he must grow up, as we all do, and does what’s right
The songs are catchy and fit the movie well (the original songs, of course, though ‘The Morning Report’ isn’t too bad) and the score is haunting and beautiful. Along with the art work, the music captures the heart of Africa
With the types of shows that children watch these days (boy, doesn’t that make me sound old?), it’s a wonder they’ll learn in virtues and values at all. ‘The Lion King’ is a great teacher when it comes to learning lessons that will carry throughout their lifetime. ‘The Lion King’ teaches children that it’s all right to be a kid but you must understand and accept responsibility for things you can and cannot control. Everyone has a place in The Circle of Life and we must find it; the film also teaches that we will encounter bad and even terrible things during our lifetime but we must accept them and move on. These are important, meaningful lessons; heck, I even used them in my SAT essay! ‘The Lion King’ is a film for every generation and is a powerful film that all children should see. I’m past my childhood now and I still watch it whenever I get the chance; I look forward to sharing it with my children
A timeless film!

“Back to the Future 3″ Plot Summary
Enjoying a peaceable existence in 1885, Doctor Emmet Brown is about to be killed by Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen. Marty McFly travels back in time to save his friend. add synopsis
If the me of the future is now in the past…
This is the best of the three Back to the Future movies. Two was a hodgepodge impossible to follow without a ’schematic’, but this one is enjoyable on all levels. No fancy anything, just a few good actors in a lovely part of the country enjoying their time together and producing a really good film for the rest of us.
The lighting and cinematography are great, the historical details interesting, the plot fun, and the geography just plain confusing. What’s with ‘Devil’s Tower’ in the background of the drive in? Isn’t that like, somewhere in Nevada or something? It sure would be, ‘a hell of a long hike back to Hill Valley!’ Oh well, who cares? Marty has also gained some weight swooshing through the time portal this go around, but again, who cares? Michael Fox has said that ‘living happened’ between the production of these three movies, his son was born, his father died…he must have been thinking about time indeed.
Thank you all who made this excellent film.

“Friday the 13th” Movie Review
“Friday the 13th” Plot Summary
Camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to re-open a summer camp that was the site of a child’s drowning.
The film that started it all
Friday the 13th, as we all know, it’s the film that started it all when it came to one of the most memorable boogeymen, Jason Vorhees. I’m afraid though that this isn’t the film that he stars in, it’s actually his mother that started the whole ‘have sex and die’ sacred rule of horror movies. Friday the 13th has kind of a harsh rating here on IMDb, this is a classic in some sense I think, it’s the ultimate sleepover movie and still gives me a little scare when I watch it in the dark. Friday the 13th also started the cheesy acting, un-needed sex scenes, blood, and gore; wither that’s a good or bad thing, I’m still not sure, but one thing that Friday the 13th does deliver is awesome death scenes that will never disappoint. It’ll also make you think twice about going to camp
A group of young adults are opening up Camp Crystal Lake after 20 years, the place has been dubbed as a cursed camp where two young counselors were brutally murdered and a young boy drowned. But the group continues getting the camp ready, but when a nasty storm ensues, the group separates and does their own thing. But one by one, they keep disappearing, but when Alice, one of the camp counselors is concerned with how everyone is not returning, she goes to find a nasty discovery and will have to survive the most terrifying night of her life
Friday the 13th is a memorable film in it’s own right, I know that the performances are horrible, I mean, this is no Halloween, but it’s a different concept and scared a lot of people. I remember it scared me as a kid to go to camp, that’s for sure. But it has tense music and very scary scenes and it keeps the best going, along with a huge amount of sequels to come, we’re up to 20, right? LOL, just kidding, it’s only 10 that I’m aware of, but I would recommend Friday the 13th for the horror fans, it’s always a fun movie to watch.7/10
