” Alien Resurrection” 1997 by Jean-Pierre Jeunet – Movie Review

Sci-Fi thriller “Alien: Resurrection” finalizes the quadrilogy of cult series about Aliens. In “Alien 4″ we bid farewell to Ripley so wonderfully impersonated by Sigourney Weaver. The final victory is won and the aliens will never be able to cause irreparable damage to the Earth and endanger the existence of humankind.

“Alien: Resurrection” Plot Summary

Auriga Research Facility

Auriga Research Facility

Ripley is successfully cloned from the eighth attempt, and the alien embryo is given new life with her. The military seem to be not able to abandon the crazy unrealizable idea of taming the aliens, turning them into creatures under human control. They do not want to recognize that this lethal weapon could destroy human civilization forever. Nobody can manage to breed the aliens in captivity, neither did anybody manage to train them. In “Alien 4″ Ripley gets a second life, but cloning has caused an unexpected effect of hybridization. She is extremely strong, has a highly developed instincts. Her blood like the blood of Aliens is capable to burn through metal. She calls herself ‘mother of the monster” and has the ability to feel the presence of monsters. She became much colder and sober-minded than she was in her real life.

The criminal military officials’ plans extend so far that they are willing to pay the pirates for kidnapping. The live cargo is going to be a ‘farm’ for breeding these extremely ‘attractive’ creatures. But Aliens do not doze for an extra minute, they spend great time spreading inside the research center. Although Ripley is perceived by the scientists as the production waste, she and the female android Annalee Call (Winona Rider) are to save the humankind from the invasion of the terrible Aliens.

    “Enemy at the Gates” Movie Review

    “Duell — Enemy at the Gates” Plot Summary

    Two Russian and German snipers play a game of cat-and-mouse during the Battle of Stalingrad. add synopsis

    Smashing good movie

    There is something odd about Russian peasants talking in articulate, middle-class British accents, but it works. I’m not sure why. Something symbolic about the nobility of the common man?Ed Harris doesn’t bother with accents either. In fact, nobody does. It’s probably for the best

    This is a pretty gripping movie, as is any movie where the lives of all the characters can end with the mere squeeze of an index finger from some unseen place

    Watch this movie. Despite what you might read here, it’s a lot better than rubbish like Saving Private Ryan. Though it might be a shock to the system for many of you to have no Americans to barrack for.

    “Mutant Chronicles” Movie Review

    “Mutant Chronicles” Plot Summary

    28th century soldier Mitch Hunter leads a fight against an army of underworld Mutants.

    Actually, a pretty good, original movie

    I will usually watch any movie with Ron Perlman in it. His characters are generally bad with a sense of humor and his good characters are extremely well played. Also, I like John Malkovich because regardless of his part or the movie, he always puts on a great performance

    I am a big fan of horror and Sci-fi. I have read what others had to say, but I thought it was actually very good. What I find original is that a seal was put on this ‘enemy’ and was unsealed due to war among corporations instead of nations. This seal was broken and unites the corporations, which is not original, but the part where the seal is broken and these mutant humans come out is a bit original

    All the people in it really put on great performances and I think that should count for something. The FX were not bad at all and the story flowed great. If people did not like the movie, I am sure they have their reasons, but I can’t believe it was because of the acting or how the story flowed

    I thought it was a very upfront movie and explained itself. The one thing that I did not quite understand is who the ‘enemy’ was, where they came. The movie tries to explain this in the beginning, but it did not explain it in a way that was sufficient enough to wonder if they came from the sky, why didn’t more come after they were sealed. If it was a dying planet that came to Earth and started this, then it would be understandable. John Malkovich says that ‘they’ will move to other planets and I felt that left the audience hanging. However, it could have been explained to but I missed it

    It is a lot like ‘Silence of the Lambs’ in that you have to watch it a second time and they you find out more info. Every time I see SOTL, I always saw something that I missed the first time I saw it

    I liked the way they mixed war, humanity, faith all together. It made for a good entertaining movie. Some parts were predictable, but still a good movie and I would recommend it to anyone who is a horror/Sci-fi fan.

    “Titan A.E.: After Earth” Plot Summary

    A young man learns that he has to find a hidden Earth ship before an enemy alien species does in order to secure the survival of humanity. add synopsis

    A film worth watching

    Titan A.E. is well thought out and well developed. It is good adult animation in the same vein as Heavy Metal, while still being a movie for the family. Don Bluth scores one more triumph with his horde of animators and with the vocal talents of Matt Daimon, Drew Barrymore, Bill Pullman and Nathan Lane. The rest of the cast is also excellent. It does not have to be epic in nature to be fun to watch. I read some of the whinny comments from other reviewers and wonder how they can ever enjoy any movie when all they are doing is nitpicking. This film makes no pretense of being great art. It is simply an enjoyable story with good acting, excellent animation and a really fine sound score. And if an old man like myself can enjoy the music, younger people should also

    I you have not seen it, by all means do. And don’t miss the making of feature after the end credits on the VHS and I am sure the DVD versions.

    “Charlie Wilson’s War” Movie Review

    “Charlie Wilson’s War” Plot Summary

    A drama based on a Texas congressman Charlie Wilson’s covert dealings in Afghanistan, where his efforts to assist rebels in their war with the Soviets have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects.

    The incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman

    Charlie Wilson’s war is an excellent example of how films should be made. This movie is of the highest quality and is cast perfectly. Tom Hanks play the lead and delivers an exceptional performance. Furthermore, Tom Hanks is complimented by the unparalleled acting ability of the incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman. I have never seen him in a role that suits him so perfectly.

    The film is witty, intelligent and well written. Julia Roberts also stars in this film but is easily over-shadowed by the other two leads.

    I rated this film 10/10 and am pleased to recommend this film to anyone that is interested in quality cinema.

    “Star Trek: Nemesis” Movie Review

    “Star Trek X: Nemesis” Plot Summary

    After the Enterprise is diverted to the Romulan planet of Romulus, supposedly because they want to negotiate a truce, the Federation soon find out the Romulans are planning an attack on Earth.

    Great movie!!

    I’m going to keep this short ‘cos I think everything’s been said, but I just wanna say that, in my opinion, people are far too harsh on this movie

    I’ve been a Star Trek fan since the late 80’s when I was a kid, and this movie didn’t disappoint. People need to lighten up! Also, everyone seems to blame the director, and I admit, I don’t agree with the choice of scenes that he cut from the movie – The film would’ve been better if the scenes had been left alone, but if someone doesn’t like the script or story, then shouldn’t it be the writers to blame and NOT the director (Stuart Baird)? OK, Nemesis failed at the box office, but that doesn’t make it a bad film, just nobody wanted to see it. How would they know how good or bad something really is without seeing it for themselves? I think audiences just got tired of Star trek in general, and unfortunately, this meant that Nemesis (and Star Trek: Enterprise)had to suffer. Not to mention that it opened at the same time as some SERIOUS competition at the time. Lord of the rings – Harry Potter

    The only thing that I do agree with is that this wasn’t the best film to end ‘The Next Gen’ series of films. I think they deserved two or at least one more to wrap things up properly. But I guess that’ll never happen! On a whole, I loved Nemesis (better than Insurrection, even though I like that too) and would give it 10 out of 10 anytime!

    “Avenging Angelo” Plot Summary

    A woman (Madeleine Stowe) who has just discovered she is the daughter of a murdered Mafia chieftain (Anthony Quinn) seeks revenge, with the aide of her Father’s faithful bodyguard (Sylvester Stallone). add synopsis

    Good clean fun!

    I bought this movie for two reasons, first, I wanted to get something my wife and I could watch together and Wal-Mart was selling it for $5.50, and secondly, it was filmed partly in the city where I work, and I saw Stallone standing between two sound trucks, looking just like Sylvester Stallone as I was leaving my office one night. I had always thought I should have a look at the movie.

    I expected a grim-mouthed actioner, but having seen some of Stallone’s other work I should have known better. The movie is played with a lot of good humour, and fine interplay between Stallone and Stowe. There were a couple of places where I actually laughed out loud, and it’s hard to make me laugh.

    If you want a movie you can watch on a quiet night with your teen-aged kids and your wife, this’ll do fine.
