    “Eraser” Movie Review

    “Eraser” Plot Summary

    A Witness Protection specialist becomes suspicious of his co-workers when dealing with a case involving high-tech weapons.

    Very Entertaining Action Film!

    I beg to differ with those who berate this film. It’s one of Arnold’s best and so what if the acting isn’t Oscar quality, the film delivers non-stop action, like a boulder rolling down a mountain it never lets up. So what if there are believability problems in the script. If we didn’t use a little imagination there’d be no James Bond, no Star Wars, no Batman, no ET, no Lord of the Rings, no Transformers, etc. If you want believability watch Grapes of Wrath. So what if it’s not possible to dive out of Jet plane to chase down a parachute. So what if the villain doesn’t kill the hero the easy way. So what if Arnold demands a cheesy line in every one of his movies; ‘You’re luggage!’ to an alligator he just killed, is a small price to pay for a high energy, roller coaster ride of a movie. This movie is great in high definition with surround sound. Geez, why are people so damned critical! Don’t look for flaws, didn’t you come to the theater to have a fun time?

    “Body of Lies” Movie Review

    “Body of Lies” Plot Summary

    Roger Ferris uncovers a lead on a major terrorist leader suspected to be operating out of Jordan.

    The most entertaining CIA thriller of 2008.

    Next to The Good Shepard(2006), Body of Lies is also a realistic look at the spy life. And you see it’s not the life that James Bond depicts it to be. I look the way it combines a thriller and the realism of the war. It was wonderfully well put together

    A C.I.A. operative Roger Ferris(Leonardo Di Caprio) is on assignment in Jourdan in hopes to flush out a terrorist, Roger gets his orders from Ed Hoffman(Russell Crow) his cocky boss. But after things don’t go according to plan, Roger and Ed think up a new plan to flush out the terrorist. By making him think that somebody new is trying to muscle in on his territory. The stakes begin to get too high for Roger, and will this come crashing down on him?It was masterfully well directed by Sir Ridley Scott, he did every moment and angle perfectly. The way Sir Ridley Scott could do it so perfectly. Not to mention it was also brilliantly acted by Russell Crow and Leonardo Di Caprio. There are moments that will leave you bewildered and captivated.

    “Armageddon” Movie Review

    “Armageddon” Plot Summary

    When an asteroid the size of Texas is headed for Earth the world’s best deep core drilling team is sent to nuke the rock from the inside.

    This just goes too far sometimes, but it’s good

    I’ll say it straight out, this movie let me down quite a lot. I wanted an epic badass of a film that would revolutionize the way I see movies. I got an epic behemoth of a film with more then ample doses of goofy monkeying around inserted sometimes at the most inappropriate of scenes. Bruce Willis stars in this movie along with Ben Afleck and Liv Tyler as two young lovers, and it’s safe to say that there aren’t too many complaints with the acting (although admittedly there were some weak spots there, too).

    No, my main problem with this movie is the comedy. Now, I’m all for comedy, but the directors of Armageddon didn’t seem to be taking their own plot too seriously at some point. I was in awe at the utter stupidity of the characters in this movie, especially toward the second half of it, and specifically Rockhound (Steve Buscemi, who does do a very good job acting here anyway). We all need some lighthearted fun in our movies, but what we don’t need is for the comedy to interfere with the dramatic parts of the movie, which it almost does a few times here. Rockhound’s foolishness and monkeying around almost ruins several scenes and it doesn’t fit with the whole theme of saving the Earth. Why did they even put the parts involving the stripper and then later the machine gun on the asteroid into the movie? It’s safe to tell who we can all throw rocks at for ruining the movie. Why on earth is he so lenient about it? It makes no sense. I can say the same thing for most of the crew at the beginning, too, they seem awfully laid back for a bunch of guys about to go save the world. Bear was falling asleep and making comments about a hot girl during the teaching sessions. What? Like I said, I like comedy fine, but here it just hinders what would otherwise be a phenomenal movie.

    This movie is full of explosions (big explosions, too, we’re not talking about little buildings. We’re talking entire cities all at once here. That’s epic.), romantic love scenes, and other action clichГ©s. They’re actually done quite well, until we get Rockhound or Bear making more dumbass jokes. The whole mishmash makes Armageddon look like a PARODY of the action genre at some points, and it hurts the score. A lot. If I were to see this movie without any prior knowledge of action movies, and having never seen one before this, I would get a flawed first impression of the genre. It’s not quite to the level of Scary Movie and Date Movie, of course, but it’s not an upstanding example of how to incorporate comedy into an action movie. See Die Hard 3 or The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly for that. Sorry, but Armageddon just goes too far overboard sometimes.

    No, I don’t hate this movie though. I do like it quite a lot. It’s great fun for a Saturday night with friends or if you’ve been drinking (lol). The ending scenes with Willis and Afleck are very touching, as are most of the scenes involving Liv Tyler. It’s also got some extremely triumphant moments, and the explosions and special effects are amazingly done. Check out those skies toward the end! The scenes with Chick (Will Patton) and his ex-wife and son are extremely touching, and are the saving grace of the quieter parts of the movie. Beautiful. And like I mentioned before, it’s EPIC. In all caps, too. There aren’t many other movies like this that can touch it in epic-ness. Not even Die Hard or it’s sequels are more epic than this monster of a film.

    Recommended to action fans who can stand stupidity in their movie-viewing. I’ll be watching this one again, too.
