    “Big Daddy” Movie Review

    “Big Daddy” Plot Summary

    A lazy law school grad adopts a kid to impress his girlfriend, but everything doesn’t go as planned and he becomes the unlikely foster father. add synopsis

    One of Sandler’s funniest

    Adam Sandler really began to peak in the 1990’s after he hit it big on SNL. He quickly was pushed into Going Overboard in 1989, which wasn’t terrible but wasn’t good either. Then he began to receive more work throughout then while people seemed to have a feel for him and he became well known, sort of how Seth Rogen is coming into his own now. Sandler really is well known for just playing a normal guy with such a short fuse that ends up getting into a major crisis. If you don’t believe me then watch this movie. It can be touching at moments and tear jerking for some of you out there, but for the most part this is a Sandler comedy that you don’t want to pass by.

    “Babel” Movie Review

    “Babel” Plot Summary

    Tragedy strikes a married couple on vacation in the Moroccan desert, touching off an interlocking story involving four different families.

    A coherent, impressive, well-made, insightful piece of work

    ‘Babel’ centers on several groups of people in 4 countries that are all connected by one freak accident Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu takes us from North Africa to North America to Asia His film exposes four unconnected story lines that are eventually divulged to be inextricably linked to one another The first involves an isolated family of goat herders who live in the High Plateaus of the Moroccan desert where two young boys are testing a rifle’s range handed by their father to protect their goats from jackals… The second concerns a Middle-class American couple on a bus tour of Morocco trying to save together their damaged marriage Meanwhile, in the US, there is grave danger for an undocumented immigranta Mexican nanny as she tries to return to United States after she wrongfully decides to take her two blonde-haired young charges to her son’s wedding across the Mexican border, despite her employers’ sudden change of plans, that needs that she remains with them and miss the joyful occasion And on the opposite side of the world, we follow, in Tokyo, an alienated, confused deaf and mute teenage student, recovering from her mother’s suicide, who eases her feelings of depression and loneliness by trying to win the friendship or attention of every man or adolescent who crosses her path She flirts with sexual exhibitionism to attract the attention of her distant and uncommunicative father ‘Babel’ tries to make a point and the point is that when people can’t or won’t communicate, unpredictable paths can lead to tragic consequences It also tries to leave a message of how a ’shooting’ from a simple ‘gift’ can set off a chain reaction of tragic events in three continents and four countries over which the different characters have exceedingly uncomfortable human emotion Out of the entire cast, it is only Rinko Kikuchi as Chieko who steals the movie especially when she transmits to her friends her mad decision of sexual aggressiveness, saying to all: ‘Now they’re going to meet the real hairy monster.’ This scene remembered me, in some way, Sharon Stone uncrossing legs in ‘Basic Instinct.’

    “The Thing” Movie Review

    “The Thing” Plot Summary

    Scientists in the Antarctic are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills.

    Still my all time favorite sci-fi/horror!!!

    The silly saying, ‘You can’t touch this’ surely applies here. With all the clone horror and sci-fi films coming out, along with all the inferior remakes, it’s hard to find anything worthy of 2 hours of your time. That’s why I always rely on the classics that scared the weewee out of me when I was a pre-teen

    THE THING is, without an ounce of doubt in my mind, the goriest, ickiest, screechiest sci-fi horror classic that John Carpenter, or any other director (sorry, even you Mr. Spielberg) ever made. What really gives it power, though, is not the gore (it OOOOOZES of slime and blood and God knows what other fluids), but rather the sense of dread, isolation, and distrust it fosters in the characters and the viewer

    You can’t get more remote than Antarctica, and in this howling, freezing white setting is where the story takes place. Several Americans, researchers and military men, are stationed there. One day, they witness a Siberian Husky dog running for dear life from gun-wielding Norwegians. Before they know it, the American outpost is battling a mysterious creature that can imitate any creature it wants. It may morph into disgusting slimy bloody shapes before it’s finished, but once it’s finished, if you didn’t see it in progress, you can’t tell it among humans or other normal Earth animals

    Kurt Russell, Keith David, Wilford Brimley, Richard Masur, Donald Moffatt, TK Carter, Thomas Waites and Charles Hallahan are just a few of the fine cast. This film is the reason why horror CAN be a great genre. It actually STILL scares me. The alien blood ‘jumping’ out of the petri dish when the hot wire touches it still makes ME jump!!!Still the scariest of them all.
