    “Bad Boys II” Movie Review

    “Bad Boys 2″ Plot Summary

    Two loose-cannon narcotics cops investigate the flow of Ecstacy into Florida.

    Bad Boys 1 + more = Bad Boys 2

    Bad Boys 1 was a good movie but Bad Boys 2 was a substantial improvement. Below I have listed a number of reasons why I think this.1) There was a higher number of action sequences. 2) The action sequences were more exciting. 3) There was more humour. 4) The humour was funnier. 5) Gabrielle Union is in it and she is hot! 6) The phrase ‘Woosah’ which really made me laugh every time

    OK I will admit that the storyline is not exactly a great one but all the above really more than makes up for it. A brilliant action movie and a brilliant sequel. And I hear that a third movie could be on the way! Can’t wait!

    “Johnny Mnemonic” Movie Review

    “Johnny Mnemonic” Plot Summary

    A data courier, carrying a data package literally inside his head too large to hold for long, must deliver it before he dies from it.

    I love any and all Sci-Fi anything.

    I like this film. The ending was lame but most are in my opinion. I like Sci-Fi movies from the rubber suited aliens to the ‘control’ lights flashing madly for no apparent reason except for effect. Let’s face it, in any given year there are few Sci-Fi movies made. Look at the long lists of movies made and there might be a Sci-Fi movie amongst them. Horror does far better with at least three or four a year. Sci-Fi has been a subjective genre and will probably remain so. After all, the future-present seems so dull, mundane and exploited when you’re living in it (planes, cars, tanks, computers, internet).

    Specifically about this movie I like the stark opening on the Main Character. He desperately, angrily, wants the money to get his memories back and do it right. The perfect setup for the risk he decides to take. The exposition dialogue on this point could be better but it got the point across (again and again) what was at stake and why. He was so desperate that he was willing to risk his life to obtain HIS goal

    Then we have the usual introduction of characters and the running, fighting and hiding. Each step of the way he is always closer to getting that thing out of his head and renewing his childhood memories

    I agree with the other comments regarding the Main Character’s desires whil e standing on a garbage heap and his life looks like garbage — he will never live to enjoy his childhood again, nor the physical comforts he thinks he wants

    The lo-techs vs. the corporate is an old theme with maybe another angle. It sets the backdrop for the overall story, the good and the bad fighting for control. The corporate side I liked. The lo-tech side was the usual, nothing new

    What I liked about the corporate side was the ancient use of the god-like conscience represented by the woman in the computer. The one who nags the corporate head to help the lo-techs for his absolution in the memory of his dead daughter

    The god-like conscience character is rarely used in American drama, but heavily honored by Asians. I have always liked this dramatic element even when demonstrated in the classical Greek. How can we define good and evil when it is beyond our control and understanding? Thus is an Asian view, as well as the ancient world, of the meaning of life. The doll white face and the near obliteration of any human features just as in the face masks worn in the ancient Greek dramas or in the ancient art of Kabuki

    Like I said, I like all Sci-Fi. It is too rare. As I illustrated above there were plenty of good dramatic elements and shots to make the movie enjoyable. Even the lame stuff has its own entertainment just as good as rubber suited aliens.
