“Gattaca” Movie Review
“Gattaca” Plot Summary
A genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.
It’s the little things that tell you you’ve found quality!
I rented this film cold at the video store — and was very pleasantly surprised with a very well done movie. If you don’t know anything else about Gattaca, the less you know, the better. Stop reading this review right now, go watch it, and come back when you’re done!It was after my first viewing of the film that several little details dawned on me:1) The term ‘borrowed ladder’ is a utterly-brilliantly-conceived bit of future slang that carries a *double meaning*. I’m still amazed that the producers didn’t make more of this. Instead, they were content to leave this gem to be discovered by the thinking and missed by the vast masses. I was very definitely impressed. 2) As I was explaining the film to my wife, it occurred to me in mid-explanation that this is really a film that has to do with what is properly called =eugenics=; one of the things the Nazis were about. Then my mind wandered to word etymologies: I recalled that the name ‘Eugene’ = ‘well born.’ And then I realized…!!!3) It’s interesting the extent to which so many of the characters in the film *didn’t* live up to their genetic destiny, one way or another.4) Because I hadn’t seen any previews, I had no immediate reference for where the name ‘Gattaca’ had come from. And then I suddenly realized…!!!5) It wasn’t until I watched the movie the second time that I caught the effects with the title sequence letters…Now I had figured out by this time that there were likely to be other intriguing little details I’ve missed, so I was fascinated to read from another reviewer here about the boy Vincent falling with a toy rocket in his hand. I wonder what else is in there?All in all, this is a very well written, tightly woven movie. Seen cold, with no real prior knowledge of the film, it came off as a tremendous science-fiction SUSPENSE THRILLER. There were several scenes that just had me climbing the walls with tension. Fabulous job!And I’m not the only one who thinks so. When my WIFE says she wants to see a SCIENCE FICTION movie for the SECOND TIME… well, I don’t think THAT has EVER happened before!

“Kindergarten Cop” Movie Review
“Kindergarten Cop” Plot Summary
A tough cop is given his most difficult assignment: masquerade as a a kindergarten teacher in order to find a drug dealer.
Enjoyable fun sweet/tough natured comedy
Its normally every other day you see Arnold in a tough guy role e.g. The Terminator series and here he portrays a professional cop, until he is forced to go undercover as a kindergarten teacher, an absolute genius move from the director of ‘Twins’ Reitman. Schwarzenegger is very convincing in this new role as a man who has to live two very different lives and the sheer humour of seeing him in this position is an essential watch for anyone. His character here is amazing, a real laugh with or at character, living humorously, seriously and emotionally throughout, a reflection of a real person’s lives, reflecting society traits. It is hard to accept him as a great actor sometimes which, to many stubborn fans is emphasised here. He performed well as the tough/sentimental guy. The story is very well crafted and thankfully always believable, maybe apart from the ending. It is very consistent with different ideologies thrown around to add up to a slow moving story completed with a fast flowing ending. The use of encoding ideologies involving parenthood, crime, jobs, relationship, loyalty, drugs and friendship etc are all well used to emphasise society’s most important factors. As a comedy the main method used was for the tough guy to be creamed into a sweet natured role, which was great to watch. The children all convey a menacing iconography which is also enjoyable to watch
I loved Pamela Reed’s character. Reed (Junior) was fantastic as the sarcastic partner to Arnold and was very enjoyable to watch, watch out for one of her last lines. There are many twists used which add to the tension of the film, mostly conveying a comedy element which justifies the genre. The use of a stereotype villain allows younger audiences to appreciate the character, always aware of who he is and what he is planning to do. The dark distinctive music playing is always associating with him, creating a conventional but good feel to the nature of the character. The story is built up well because nothing is rushed. Context is always believable. Arnie’s relationship with the children is definitely the key part of the film and is a must watch. if you like Arnie’s tough guy roles, the this is a complete opposite – he is a class act here as a sentimental teacher!8.5/10
