“We Were Soldiers” Movie Review
“We Were Soldiers” Plot Summary
The story of the first major battle of the American phase of the Vietnam War and the soldiers on both sides that fought it.
I’ve been waiting over 30 years for one
Ever since 1970 when I finished my third tour of combat duty with the Marines in Viet Nam I have been waiting for a film that reflected the American Fighting Man in the Viet Nam war as an American Fighting Man; not a drugged-out, anti-war whiner. Well this is it. The movie is non-stop action after the first fifteen minutes of character development is finished. Having experienced what it is like to be over-run by the NVA during the third week of my first VN tour I can tell you that this movie does an excellent job of showing the excitement, tension, exhaustion, chaos, and courage of an extended battle. While this is by no means the best war movie I have ever seen, it is the first Viet Nam war movie which has provided me with a sense of satisfaction after leaving the theater. Mel Gibson turns in a good performance, Sam Elliot is a bit stiff. The wives of the soldiers are believable. Including a bit of the NVA’s attitude about the war adds a balanced flavor to the film. Overall I would say that you will experience at least a small part the intensity of war if you go to this movie. I took my female companion and she was shocked, touched, and thrilled with it. As Americans, we need to remember that freedom is not, and never has been, free. It is always paid for with the blood of those who fight to get it, sustain it, or expand it. The politically correct may not like this film, but then who cares what they like. Thanks for making this film Mel. I’ve been waiting over 30 years to see it.

“Star Trek 9: Insurrection” Plot Summary
When the crew of the Enterprise learn of a Federation plot against the inhabitants of a unique planet, Capt. Picard begins an open rebellion. add synopsis
Excellent!!!
This is one of the best Star Trek movies! It is exciting, funny and supported by Jerry Goldsmith’s fourth Star Trek score. In contrast to Star Trek-First Contact very many scenes of the film do not play on the Enterprise, but on the paradise-like planet of the Ba’ku. This film is not only exciting, it also criticizes society. In many countries, for example in Ireland, people of the same races fight each other. This movie illustrates that these fights are senseless and that all people belong to one race. Jerry Goldsmith’s score is also very extraordinary which makes the movie even more worth watching. Especially the Ba’ku theme is so good that you have after having seen this movie a good impression of it.

“Payback” Movie Review
“Payback” Plot Summary
Porter is shot by his wife and best friend and is left to die. When he survives he plots revenge. add synopsis
Brilliant on Its Own
I’d go further than the rest of the posts and say two things: This is a brilliant story, full stop; and it may be one of the cinema’s precursors to another brilliant new bit of thug caper genre, ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.’ This film stands on its own against ‘Point Blank’, a delightful film in its own right. You do not need to know any of the previous film references to make this story work and it stands up just fine on its own, thank you very much
Others have commented on Gibson’s portrayal versus Marvin’s, but consider the context in which each film was made: Without taking anything away from Marvin’s performance I would argue that Gibson delivers the goods in just as satisfying a manner. Gibson’s portrait is more of a twenty-first century graphic novel’s character approach to justice than Marvin’s 1967 nod to cool spy culture and a bad-ass anti-hero’s approach to injustice
The author/director clearly worked this story until it was a lean, mean fighting machine, ruthlessly taking out what didn’t serve the story so that the overall effect is amazing pacing and audience satisfaction by turns of curiosity and empathy with this anti-hero. You cannot make this stuff up from brilliant inspiration, only very hard work can make a story this simple and elegant hang together with such artful complexity
I admit I am a fan of Gibson’s work, but not all of his ‘oeuvre’ is worth watching. This one definitely is, no matter what you think about his personal biases, love life, etc
And although this film is not outwardly credited (as far as I can tell) with having inspired Guy Richie, you can clearly see that this film and ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ are part and parcel of a similar vision of late nineties’ heroism, combined with very clever cinematography, excellent direction and muscular storytelling.

“Quantum of Solace” Plot Summary
Seeking revenge for the death of his love, secret agent James Bond sets out to stop an environmentalist from taking control of a country’s valuable resource.
This is the best product ever made
This is absolutely best product ever made. But I like movies and films, that’s why I rate this at 2. In addition, this product is made by either people with hyperactivity disorder or made for such people: the entire product is made up of sequences that last only fraction of a second: the action lasts only fraction of a second then the screen shows some other action unrelated to previous action. Thus, because the entire product is made from cuts of action that last only fraction of a second, the entire product is very hard to watch. For me, it caused dizziness and head spins. But hyperactive kids will probably find it amazing to watch: it is like watching those screen savers – Windows’ Mystify, StarField, and other flying in your face things that are hard to watch. But again, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

“Artificial Intelligence: AI” Movie Review
“A.I.” Plot Summary
A highly advanced robotic boy longs to become “real” so that he can regain the love of his human mother.
I liked it
I thought A.I. was a very good film. I’m sure it is somewhat different from what Kubrick had thought but he and Spielberg had worked on it for a long time. I liked the questions that it posed about such as what does it mean to be a being? Does the boy robot have genuine feelings or are they programmed? But we as people do we have genuine feelings or are they ‘programmed’ in our genetic code, by society, and by other factors? Intriguing questions from an intriguing film. Definitely a thinking persons movie. The acting by Haley Joel Osmet was outstanding and the supporting cast was equally good, too. The portrayal of the future was somewhat frightening but also extremely fascinating. Especially the ending of the film. I saw this film with my brother who’s first word when the film ended was ‘Wow!’ He only expresses that for films he really likes. Those who like science fiction and those who like films that make them think definitely see this film. Even if you are not as impressed as I am you will find parts of the film fascinating.
