“Apollo 13″ Movie Review
“Apollo 13″ Plot Summary
True story of the moon-bound mission that developed severe trouble and the men that rescued it with skill and dedication.
An exciting time
Boys own adventure about the ill fated ‘Apollo 13′ mission which was to follow the successful journey that saw Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon.
Ron Howard deftly recreates the tension, ambition, hope and disappointment which accompanied the crew who dreamed of writing yet another page in ’space race’ history. Ronnie helms with a purpose, never allowing any sidelines or subplots to undermine the story which he skilfully builds to not one, but several nail biting climaxes. Many of us know the story, yet writers John Sayles, William Broyles Jnr. and Al Reinart still manage to entertain us with an involving screenplay which recreates the excitement of the time.
All the technical teams have masterfully brought to life the NASA Space Centre at Cape Kennedy, along with the amazing hardware that goes with it. The take-off sequence is especially well produced thanks to some stunning special effects and clever cinematography (Dean Cundey – who wields with effect throughout the pic).
Tom Hanks convincingly personifies the ambitious dreamer Jim Lovell, sharing with us his trials and his triumphs. In support of him is Bill Paxton (in perhaps his biggest role to date), finally playing a character who is not paranoid, and doing so very well. Kevin Bacon also joins the crew, playing a late replacement for the devastated Gary Sinise, who is ousted due to concerns he may contract the measles. Back at Cape Kennedy, an impressive Ed Harris calls the shots in an Academy nominated role, keeping his feet firmly on the ground, unlike his turn in ‘The Right Stuff’.
James Horner provides a familiar sounding theme.
Friday, October 27, 1995 – Waverley Pinewood Cinema

“Ransom” Movie Review
“Ransom” Plot Summary
When a rich man’s son is kidnapped, he cooperates with the police at first but then tries a unique tactic against the criminals.
What a great film!
I loved this movie. Mel Gibson is just totally great in this film, like most others. But really, the fact that he didn’t get Best Actor for this was a shame!Warning Possible Spoilers. This is my first review so I’m not quite sure how much I should say
So anyways, I’ll assume you’ve already seen this but if you haven’t, well would you be surprised to know that this is about a kidnapping! As an airline exec. Mel has made some enemies’ and one day his son is taken by Gary Sinise & Co. Well, at first Mel cooperates but he soon thinks that he’ll never see his son again, alive anyways, if he pays. What follows is a spectacular scene in which Mel dedicates his life to finding and terribly murdering those responsible. Thing is Gary is a cop and is that a great cover or what!Even if you don’t like Mel still rent this one. You’ll love it!

“Forrest Gump” Movie Review
“Forrest Gump” Plot Summary
Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny, eludes him.
One of the best films of the 90’s
Winston Groom’s Forrest Gump was a novel that was complicated, but (Oscar winning) director Robert Zemeckis brings events together with visual effects that boggle even George Lucas.
And leading the film in this odyssey of American life is Tom Hanks playing Gump (he won his second Oscar for his portrayal) in a film that shows one man who goes through many events in history to find the one he loves. Well done, well acted, and well directed to pythagorean procision. A++
