“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.

“Conspiracy Theory” Movie Review
“Conspiracy Theory” Plot Summary
Jerry Fletcher is a man who sees conspiracies everywhere. But if you keep doing that long enough, sooner or later you’re going to get one right… add synopsis
breathtaking film, outstanding performances you only wish it won’t happen to you.
We have all thought that certain incidents that we can’t explain or the explanation we were given was inadequate, could be because of a greater secret plan or conspiracy, i.e Elvis death, Princess Diana’s accident or JFK’s assasination are some of those mysteries. Well in this film Mel Gibson sees a conspiracy everywhere and tries to pursuade Julia Roberts, that certain ‘incidents’ weren’t quite as they seem. His whole behaviour though tends to be slightly psychotic and therefore no-one really pays attention to him. Except for Julia, who’s not quite sure what to believe. Until the day that Mel is abducted by Patrick Stewart and then gets away, only to show up in the justice department where Julia works, all covered in blood. When Julia hears his story she starts wondering for the first time ‘…what if….’ The story becomes faster and faster and now Julia is a target too
Outstanding performances, great script, brilliant direction
WELL DONE!

“Wedding Crashers” Plot Summary
John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, a pair of committed womanizers who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic tinge in the air, find themselves at odds with one another when John meets and falls for Claire Cleary.
surprisingly funny
I’m not a guy who usually goes for the gay and sexual humor. This is not because I am a prude, but because these kinds of movies tend to take it too far and just isn’t funny after that point. Wedding Crashers, however, executed this brand of humor perfectly. Another plus that makes this movie an above average comedy is the fact that the comedy did not take away from the plot. Many movies, such as Animal House, go so out of their way to be funny that they forget that movies are meant to tell a story. Wedding Crashers did a great job of keeping the comedy in the realm of a specific plot. Wedding Crashers is a unique and fun movie and I would definitely recommend watching it.

“3:10 to Yuma” Movie Review
“Three Ten To Yuma” Plot Summary
A small-time rancher agrees to hold a captured outlaw who’s awaiting a train to go to court in Yuma. A battle of wills ensues as the outlaw tries to psych out the rancher.
excellent and exciting
Nice to finally see a decent modern western bring its way to the screen. Much in the style of westerns of old, lots of action, but it doesn’t move too quickly where all your seeing is shootouts and blood. The storyline is deep and powerful, all the characters are interesting and make sense, and just an overall enjoyable film
James Mangold puts himself on the board with this film, hopefully he continues to pump out future classics such as 3:10 to Yuma
Go out and watch this in theaters, and then buy it on DVD when it comes out. A movie well worth watching.8.5 from me, which fortunately for 3:10 to Yuma, rounds up to a 9.

“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.

“The Nutty Professor” Plot Summary
Grossly overweight Prof. Sherman Klump, desperate to lose weight takes a special chemical that turns him into the slim but obnoxious Buddy Love. add synopsis
This remake is obesely funny!
I remember the the original version of ‘The Nutty Professor’ with Jerry Lewis. But the remake is just as funny, even though I can do without the language there. The music is fun, the plot is great, and the pun is outrageous. To me, I got a lot of fat friends, but I would never make fun of their weight. Professor Sherman Klump(Eddie Murphy) is bright, reserved, and kind to everyone around him. Buddy Love(also Murphy) is slim, buff, and very obnoxious. When Sherman meets Carla Purty(Jada Smith), he would go to the extremes to have her. After the incident in ‘The Scream’ Sherman becomes Buddy. And at ‘The Scream’ Buddy puts Reggie(Dave Chappelle) in his place with all the ‘Your Mama’s so fat…’ jokes. That scene left me in stitches. I enjoyed the characters in the movie, including that nasty Dean Richmond(Larry Miller, ‘Neccsary Roughness’) who is put in his place many times by Buddy and Alumni Harlan Hartley(James Corburn). This movie is funny all the way, just don’t use it as a weapon on the obese. Rating 3 out of 5 stars.
