“Backdraft” Movie Review
“Backdraft” Plot Summary
Two Chicago firefighter brothers who don’t get along have to work together while a dangerous arsonist is on the loose. add synopsis
Good firefighter movie
Backdraft was actually not a bad movie. The plot wasn’t amazing mainly because it never really gets suspenseful and it just seems kind of stupid how trained firemen keep getting killed by the same type of fire. But I don’t think the plot is what made the movie interesting. The relationship between the two brothers (Baldwin and Russell) keep the viewer watching. This is actually one movie where I said ‘gee, Kurt Russell can actually act’. Possibly the only time I’ll say that. This was a stretch for him and I really liked it. Baldwin’s character is OK for me, nothing amazing, but decent. I really liked Donald Sutherland too. Even though he was thrown in as a rip-off of Hannibal Lectar (crazy criminal who tells them who the killer is if you talk to him about your past blah blah blah). Even though he led them toward the wrong people, possibly on purpose, and it was almost meaningless to have in the plot, I like Sutherland no matter what he’s in. Robert De Nero as always is too cool. You have to like him, even though his part wasn’t as big in this one. All in all, decent flick, worth watching, and possibly better than Ladder 49, as far as firefighter movies go.

“Philadelphia” Movie Review
“Philadelphia” Plot Summary
When a man with AIDS is fired by a conservative law firm because of his condition, he hires a homophobic small time lawyer as the only willing advocate for a wrongful dismissal suit.
Rich, Compelling, Deep, Magnificent Film!!
Before I saw this movie I rated Tom Hanks as a competent actor, always consistent and dedicated to his craft. Roles that stood out for me where undoubtedly Forrest Gump and of course The Green Mile. I came into this movie knowing absolutely nothing about the plot, characters whether it was popular or how widely known it was. My house mate had rented it out, and left it sitting on the table. I picked it up and looking at the cover saw Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington staring back. Of course with two solid and professional actors like that your pretty much guaranteed a movie of a certain standard. But still I was hesitant about watching it thinking it must be some already overdone story about two strong interesting characters coming into and then overcoming some obstacles, providing views on life and such along the way.
I can’t believe I almost didn’t watch this movie. I wont tell you anything about the plot or the story. Because even though the plot is interesting and the story relevant, you’ll have seen it done a hundred times in other movies, television or literature. The reason you will want to see this movie will be to witness Tom Hanks sink his teeth so deep into a role that he will make Forest Gump look like a training exercise. Not that it overshadows it, the opposite in fact, seeing him capable of this extraordinary performance only leaves you wondering, if you didn’t already, how you didn’t see before what a remarkable actor he is. If I have led you to believe that this film offers nothing more than Hank’s incredible performance then that is not my intention. The film itself is staggeringly magnificent, see for yourself and let the film take you in and Tom Hanks leave you breathless.
