“Jurassic Park III” Movie Review
“JP3″ Plot Summary
A decidedly odd couple with ulterior motives convince Dr. Alan Grant to go to Isla Sorna (the second InGen dinosaur lab.), resulting in an unexpected landing…and unexpected new inhabitants on the island.
This is no Jurassic Park, but a helluva lot better than The Lost World!
If you are like me, and have been following everything on Jurassic Park III for the past 5 months, you’ve probably set your expectations pretty high, and chances are, you’ll most likely be let down. In a way, I was. My expectations were pretty damn high for this film, but that was my own fault. No film could have possibly lived up to those kinds of expectations. But, the movie was everything it promised to be: A superbly crafted, action-packed, rocket of a movie. It was fast paced, and the action hardly lets up, maybe for just a few minutes for you to catch your breath, and then you’re hit right slam in the face with another dynamic action scene. The movie is only 95 minutes long, and about 75 of those minutes are nothing but thrills and scares. Yes, the movie is too short, but it’s hardly a problem. It leaves you wanting more and that is a sure sign of a great movie. Just don’t get your hopes up, thinking this is going to be as good as the first, because it isn’t. It is, however, a kick-ass special effects feast for all you hungry movie-goers out there with a taste for fine suspense thrillers…ok, I know that sounds chessey, but who cares. My grade: B+

“Green Mile” Movie Review
“Green Mile” Plot Summary
The story about the lives of guards on death row leading up to the execution of black man accused of child murder & rape, who has the power of faith healing.
Excellent! Tom Hanks leads a wonderful cast in this great movie
What an excellent movie this picture was. When I first saw the trailers in October, I thought it might be pretty good.
The Green Mile exceeded my expectations. Tom Hanks leads a wonderful cast in this movie which stands out by far from most others. If you liked Shawshank Redemption, you’ll love this one. I’ve realized just how good Stephen King can write, now that I’ve seen this and Shawshank. It’s three hours long, and worth every minute of it. It touched me in many ways. I was fortunate enough to see it twice. And I will buy it on dvd as soon as it is available. The Green Mile will certainly become a classic. Go see it, you won’t be disappointed.

“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” Movie Review
“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” Plot Summary
An oddball journalist and his psychopathic lawyer travel to Las Vegas for a series of psychadelic escapades.
One of the best movies ever made
I always love when I turn a person onto this movie. Too many people think this movie is just about drugs and the logic of a half crazy narcissist. It has a deep underlying tone that taps into the core of American culture. The evolution of a culture has to be violent, crass & revolutionary. This movie is that. This story takes place at the end of the civil rights movement where a blind and far too conservative America changes into something else. The narration where HS Thompson is talking about that ‘wave’ sums it up. What was going on in America when this story happened? The end of Vietnam, The Civil Rights Movement, Watergate, etc. Those who went along for the ride at that time wanted to change America. Maybe it didn’t turn out the way they really wanted but what do we have now that we didn’t have before? It’s not only socially acceptable to question authority, to not do so is Un-American. Thompson was the fulcrum in this. Before him journalism was too conservative. Thompson blew this away. He was everything that needed to push America into a new era. The best thing is that he makes no apologies for anything he did. He had to open that inner-eye. That is what this movie captures and it makes no apologies. Terry Gilliam, Johnny Depp were ‘Gonzo’ enough to make this movie and they did this in the most excellent form. Johnny Depp portrayal of Thompson conveyed the message of this story perfectly. The best part about the story was the fact that it never set out to be one, it just happened. Thompson was the underlying kick in the ass that America needed to look inward and see itself for what it really was. A movie that can be a literal time capsule of the reality of a specific culture is a beautiful thing. It is even better when it isn’t America trying to speak for another culture. This movie is the reality of America as dissected by an American. It looks at itself for what it is, like a naked person in a mirror. This movie will always be a favorite for me. Whenever I can expose someone else to this it’s more precious than a bought education. Watch the movie without a joint and go beyond the chaos. Watch this movie for what it is. If you have never read the book, get off your butt and do now! Gonzo forever!
