” Alien?” 1992 by David Fincher – Movie Review

Ellen Ripley Closely Cropped

Ellen Ripley Closely Cropped

A rare case for Hollywood: the “Alien 3″ movie is so bizarre, so non-for-profit that it is pretty surprising it got shot and released to the theatres. The film has undergone an unusually complex preparation process: the script was at different times written by the famous cyberpunk writer William Gibson and screenwriter Eric Red, among the previous assigned directors were Renny Harlin and Vincent Ward (director of the “The Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey”, 1988), some of Ward’s storyline ideas entered the final script, which was then modified by producers David Giler and Walter Hill. The latter said later that in the “Alien 3″ he sees a certain connotations associated with the AIDS virus: well, it might be the way it is. The last of the directors, David Fincher, by the time was known mostly for a few inventive rock-music videos. Subsequently this director got famous for strong thrillers “Se7en” (1995) and “The Game” (1997).

Alien 3 Plot Summary

A remote planet, neglected ore refinery- a correctional facility for especially dangerous criminals with extra Y-chromosome. An escape vessel in which Ripley, Newt, Hicks, and a droid called Bishop are traveling on crash lands on Fiorina 161. Unfortunately, although Newt and Hicks do not survive the crash, the brisk and tenacious form of life does and it is probably somewhere nearby, in the endless factory ventilation shafts. The rescuer team from the Corporation is already speeding to rescue, though who knows whom exactly they are going to save? Therefore Ripley and the local black sanctimonious leader have raised the convicts to fight the alien monster – and the alien habitually tears all the living beings into parts but somehow it doesn’t touch the heroine.

    “The Bodyguard” Movie Review

    “The Bodyguard” Plot Summary

    A former Secret Service agent takes on the job of bodyguard to a pop singer, whose lifestyle is most unlike a President’s.

    Great movie

    Has everything. Whitney acts better than Costner, but great story and well made

    Loved the references to Yojimbo

    Good country scenes with the father from the Waltons. The characters rang true

    The jealousy of Rachel’s sister rang true and added another dimension to the movie

    And then there is the music. Incredible. Made the best use of Whitney’s voice. Most movies age, but in 2009 it still felt contemporary.1 point dropped for Costner’s acting. He is wooden in a number of scenes and doesn’t seem to choose the best delivery for each line.

    “In Bruges” Movie Review

    “In Bruges” Plot Summary

    Holed up in Bruges, Belgium after a difficult job, two hit men begin to differ on their views of life and death as they become used to local customs.

    Horribly Enchanting

    Martin McDonagh is a new name for me but it reeks of sounds and smells I recognize and love. Joe Ortonish if you know what I mean. A mishmash of blame and redemption in Bruges of all places. Colin Farrell is superb as the child killer devoured by his own conscience. His dialogue is brutally funny but if we follow his eyes he’s stuck on the same place. The child, his death….Brendan Gleeson’s interest in Bruges and what Bruges has to offer is hysterically funny and deeply moving. A monumental performance. Ralph Finnes in a totally new vest (if you forget Schindler’s) comes to revolutionize the third act with a few aces up his sleeve. He is as much fun to watch as he is frightening. An unexpected treat. I highly recommend it.

    “Old Dogs” Movie Review

    “Old Dogs” Plot Summary

    Two friends and business partners find their lives turned upside down when strange circumstances lead to them being placed in the care of 7-year-old twins. add synopsis

    Very funny

    I do not like stupid films at all. This had a little bit of stupidity, but it didn’t stop me from laughing from beginning to end! My friend loved it too. Really good for a comedy and great actors! This is one to watch over and over and share with all

    It was fun to watch Travolta’s family in action. His daughter was adorable. Robin Williams was at his best. He handled being a new dad with aplomb. It is always great to see men deal with kids and feel their way through it

    Williams was the star – Travolta played second behind him. Williams is of course a natural comedian. Travolta has to work harder.

    “Cliffhanger” Movie Review

    “Cliffhanger” Plot Summary

    A botched mid-air heist results in suitcases full of cash being searched for by various groups throughout the Rocky Mountains.

    one of Stallone’s best and a great movie.

    There are those who hate Sylvester Stallone no matter what he does and/or says. While I have many movies that he has done that are awful, CLIFFHANGER is and an aptly film that is terrific from start to finish. Stallone gives a cautiously measured performance as a rescue climber who seems to have lost his edge after a horrifying accident. When a Federal Treasury plane crash lands in the mountians with a band of ruthless murderers and thieves on board, it is up to the rescuers to do what they do best. They find out about the plane’s cargo and it’s passengers only too late. Renny Harlin directs CLIFFHANGER with style and energy to burn. Stallone, Michael Rooker, and Janine Turner are the rescuers and John Lithgow leads his band of criminals through the mountians looking for three suitcases filled with untraceable cash. CLIFFHANGER has some incredible scenery and camera work and it’s script is literate and intelligent

    I do have one curious question? Was it really necessary to have Lithgow speak with an British accent? Never to quibble over technicalities, CLIFFHANGER is a solid action picture; fun, exciting, and well worth 2 hours of you time. CLIFFHANGER-***1/2 out 4.
