“Siege” Movie Review

“Siege” Plot Summary

The secret US abduction of a suspected terrorist leads to a wave of terrorist attacks in New York that lead to the declaration of martial law. add synopsis

A Remarkable Film

This is a remarkable movie from the director of Glory (also starring Denzel Washington). Not so much because it was a believable movie at the time it was made, but because of the eerieness of many of the scenes. If you pay attention, there is even a shot of the Twin Towers, which is very unnerving. Denzel Washington standing in front of the rubble of his office, which has just been blown up… This is probably just speculation on my part, but what went through my head when I re-watched this movie recently, is whether it was possible that the 9/11 people had seen this stuff. Beside the blown up buildings and the shot of the Twin Towers is the way hardline general Bruce Willis goes about solving the problem – doing _exactly_ what Ariel Sharon has recently done in the West Bank. Lock off the town/neighborhood, arrest all males in a specific age range, lock them up in temporary concentration camps (in the Boer War sense of the word) and see who’s wanted. One of the more questionable avenues the film takes is the justification of torture to obtain information, although it is also shown to be useless in the second of the two incidences.

Another thing to note is that this movie simply isn’t the same movie after September 11th. Which is remarkable of itself, because most movies about current events are made before the fact, rather than after.

“Snakes on a Plane” Plot Summary

An FBI agent takes on a plane full of deadly and poisonous snakes, deliberately released to kill a witness being flown from Honolulu to Los Angeles to testify against a mob boss. add synopsis

Enjoyable Flight

Another brilliant film from my most favourite director David R. Ellis after Final Destination 2 & Cellular. Snakes on a Plane is definitely one of my most favourite movies and the best film of 2006. Their has already been a lot of films with snakes like Anaconda, King Cobra and Python but they are all rubbish and with no story. This movie is nothing like them it has an amazing story and it’s very relentless. Samuel L. Jackson’s acting as usual was terrific and his line ‘Enough is enough! I have had it with these mother f**king snakes on this mother f**king plane!’ is a trademark of the film just like ‘I’ll be back’ in The Terminator. The rest of the actors are all new and not very well known but the boy who is the witness he was in Wolf Creek, the young blonde air hostess in first class was the alien Sarah in Species 3 and the girl in the bathroom with another boy was in Final Destination 3 one of the girls in the sun bed. It was about 1 hour 40 minutes and I enjoyed every second of it. I don’t know which the best scene is because it was good right from start to end and it is the kind of film that can be watched again & again. My verdict is 20/10.

“Friday the 13th” Movie Review

“Friday the 13th” Plot Summary

A group of young adults discover a boarded up Camp Crystal Lake, where they soon encounter Jason Voorhees and his deadly intentions.

Fun if you’re of GWB intelligence

History (that is, movie history) tends to pre-colour one’s thinking and so the original Friday the 13th movies must precondition viewers for what’s to come in this, the latest offering for those with a propensity for bizarre murder stories

However, don’t today’s filmgoers deserve SOME credit for intelligence? Like, don’t we expect supposedly young adults with (supposedly) some education to behave a bit logically? Given that there’s a killer running amok in the neighborhood, wouldn’t it be sensible to plan some sort of strategy to beat him? But no. Our protagonists split up and race around the woods with the women screaming a lot of the time and the guys displaying gross incompetence. Interesting too that those ear-drum shattering screams, which, on an otherwise peaceful country night, would be easily heard at least two miles away, don’t seem to be heard by anyone when it’s most crucial. Ho Hum!Then, when one of the group eventually puts in an emergency call to the police telling them that there’s a mass killer slaying everyone in sight, the cops send ONE man! This is, in actual fact, in direct contrast to all those other American movies where the police send about two hundred armed swat-team members, several helicopters and umpteen squad cars all with sirens screaming to rescue a cat up a tree! Oh no! Not here! ONE cop – and a not too bright one at that! Then, as the climax approaches, with one of the protagonists at last armed with a gun, instead of using common sense and waiting for the killer to come into the line of fire and letting him have it with a single shot, our hero empties the magazine on closed doors and shadows and then goes racing out to his death at the hands of a far more calculating creature than himself or his companions

Nevertheless, if you like suspense with a bit of sexy action (not to mention some superb female bodies!!!) I guess you might get a little pleasure from the latest (but obviously not the final) Crystal Lake saga!
