    “Lethal Weapon 3″ Movie Review

    “Lethal Weapon 3″ Plot Summary

    Martin Riggs finally meets his match in the form of Lorna Cole, a beautiful but tough policewoman. Together with Roger Murtaugh…

    Great fun…

    The signs of aging could shine through in ‘Lethal Weapon 3,’ but they don’t. Because – magically – the series doesn’t seem to be aging too much. Why? Because the series is always changing. It is smart, in that it realizes it cannot continue with the cop-buddy action-comedy formula per se, so it almost becomes more of a strict comedy with some big stunt pieces and looney fights. Sure, there’s plenty of action, but it’s not as fierce of bruising or just downright vicious as in the first two films. When there are fight scenes they seem a bit more corny than before. This is a more lighthearted entry into the series, and though you could say without seeing the film that soft is not what ‘Lethal Weapon’ is about, just remember how tiring it would have been seeing a repeat of the second and first film

    Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) are back. The film opens with an explosive prelude that has become the symbol of the ‘Lethal Weapon’ movies (later films such as ‘Bad Boys’ – another cop-buddy film – tried to use the same technique but, in my opinion, sort of failed).

    After the opening sequence, in which they try to diffuse a bomb in a parking garage but end up tripping the detonator instead, the two men are demoted from Sergeants to regular cops – they walk the streets in boredom giving out tickets to J-walkers and trying to find a way to have some fun

    Murtaugh is bent on retiring – again – in a week. Riggs, now his best-buddy, tries to ignore the fact as best he can by cracking jokes about girdles. (Don’t ask.) While walking the streets they come upon an armored van robbery (what are the chances?) and stop the crooks through a windy car chase along a highway, with a reference to ‘The Road Warrior’ along the way. (And if you don’t understand that joke, you don’t belong on this site.)Plot revelation upon plot revelation finally builds up into the fact that new weapons are filling the streets – ‘cop killers’ – that can go right through a bulletproof vest and out the other side. Brought in to investigate into these matters is Lorna Cole (Rene Russo), a woman after Riggs’ own heart. She kicks butt, pays no attention to rules, and is a smart…bottom

    Also returning is Joe Pesci to the role of Leo Getz. His head full of bleached hair and sporting a nice car, the retired thief is now in real estate, trying to sell Murtaugh’s home to interested folk. One of the best scenes is when Getz is taking a couple through Murtaugh’s home and mentions all the different accidents they’ve had over the year, including the car smashing through the wall and ‘accidental bomb damage’ upstairs. He later says it’s illegal to withhold information. And this is coming from the guy who, in ‘Lethal 2,’ admitted to laundering drug money.’Lethal Weapon 3′ is full of fun, good intentions, and more fun. For fans of the first two films this is a great relief – it’s not nearly as bad as you’re expecting it to be. However, there are more than a handful of flaws here. The plot is not nearly as realistic nor intriguing as the first two, the action is a bit too dumbed down at times, and overall the film seems more like a big-budget extravaganza as compared to the smartness of the first two. Still, you really can’t go wrong with ‘Lethal Weapon 3,’ because if you enjoyed the first two, you’re going to eat this up.4/5 stars.- John Ulmer

    “Ransom” Movie Review

    “Ransom” Plot Summary

    When a rich man’s son is kidnapped, he cooperates with the police at first but then tries a unique tactic against the criminals.

    What a great film!

    I loved this movie. Mel Gibson is just totally great in this film, like most others. But really, the fact that he didn’t get Best Actor for this was a shame!Warning Possible Spoilers. This is my first review so I’m not quite sure how much I should say

    So anyways, I’ll assume you’ve already seen this but if you haven’t, well would you be surprised to know that this is about a kidnapping! As an airline exec. Mel has made some enemies’ and one day his son is taken by Gary Sinise & Co. Well, at first Mel cooperates but he soon thinks that he’ll never see his son again, alive anyways, if he pays. What follows is a spectacular scene in which Mel dedicates his life to finding and terribly murdering those responsible. Thing is Gary is a cop and is that a great cover or what!Even if you don’t like Mel still rent this one. You’ll love it!

    “The Postman” Plot Summary

    Post-apocalyptic America. What begins as a con game becomes one man’s quest to rebuild civilization by resuming postal service. add synopsis

    A Movie About Hope

    Possible Spoiler, If You Know Nothing About The Movie (8 Stars)This movie like many movies that get bad reviews is longer than most. It’s length may not let most viewers eat, chew gum, and talk at the same time. I liked it the first time I viewed it. It shows that desperate times require strength, courage, and hope. We may some day have a time when we are in dire straits. The World Trade Center September 11, comes to mind

    When times are the toughest, someone has to step up to the plate and show courage. This man, the postman gives hope to those who had given up on life. It may be soapy, but it makes me feel good when it’s over. That is part of what watching movies is all about

    Other movies that deal with post war situations, the Mad Max movies for the action, Blade Runner for it’s sci-fi, and Dr. Strangelove is my favorite classic movie with both humor and realism all tied up in a perfect package.

    “Showtime” Plot Summary

    A spoof of buddy cop movies where two very different cops are forced to team up on a new reality based T.V. cop show. add synopsis

    Good matinee film

    By no means is this film a blockbuster, but it is still a basic comedy and fairly entertaining. I saw this during a Saturday matinee and realized how appropriate that was. It made for a good matinee film to kill an afternoon

    Murphy made for a good self-centered introvert. De Niro, as always, can easily adapt himself to any role. Even though he was supposed to be the serious character, it was obvious by the end that he probably had fun making this film

    This is definitely one worth renting for a rainy weekend.

    “Lethal 4″ Plot Summary

    With personal crises and age weighing in on them, LAPD officers Riggs and Murtaugh must contend with a deadly Chinese crimelord trying to get his brother out of prison.

    Decent entertainment.

    Warning:potential spoilers !For the 4th time, Riggs & Murtaugh knock heads with bad guys

    This time around, it’s the Chinese Triads

    The plot is a little weak, but the cast is so likeable it doesn’t matter a whole lot

    There is a nifty fight scene at the end between a Kung-Fu master and the old cops, and there are some very funny moments

    Rating:***1/2 (out of five)

    “In the Line of Fire” Plot Summary

    Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan couldn’t save Kennedy, but he’s determined not to let a clever assassin take out this president. add synopsis

    It’s a classic!

    One of the finest movies I have viewed…Good script, original plot of a man who is haunted about JFK’s assassination when he was assigned to protect him on that Cold November day in 1963. Thirty years later another anti-social lunatic wants to assassinate the current president. The secret service agent loses his partner along the way,to the crazed gunmen who schemes,lies and murders anybody in his path who’ll stand in his way of his mission. The movie accompanies with a great memorable score,and a restrained but meaningful romance between Russo and Eastwood….which displays how difficult it is to have a romantic life in that kind of work. Malchovich is great,sure many other candidates could have played the role that he played,but how many could acted with such craftiness,and intellect that he displayed in the movie?Needless to say,I thought this was a great movie…everytime it’s on television I have to watch it..and I own it on dvd! I’m a big Eastwood fan,this only boosted his already fabulous career,and Malchovich’s best role to date!
