“The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury” Plot Summary

This story opens with the new action hero and the two other survivors of Pitch Black already caught by a giant spaceship filled with dread… add synopsis

Great mini-movie, much better than the sequel

To anyone who has seen the excellent ‘The Matrix’ and its horrible sequels, this animated movie ‘Dark Fury’ is exactly the same as the ‘Last Flight Of The Osiris’ (short animation) for ‘The Matrix’.So, we have a great movie (‘Pitch Black’), and a very weak sequel (The Chronicles Of Riddick). But this little animated gem brings back our anti-hero in familiar territory: a great story (even though it’s short) and some great sci-fi ideas (the frozen ‘collection’ and the cyborg monster, for example).

If you liked Pitch Black it’s guaranteed you will like this one. It can also stand on its own (no need to see anything else, although you would get curious), which is always a good indication of brilliance.

“Cars” Movie Review

“Cars” Plot Summary

A hot-shot race-car named Lightning McQueen gets waylaid in Radiator Springs, where he finds the true meaning of friendship and family.

well done

Caught the world premiere at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte– we’re not race fans ourselves by any means, but you really don’t have to be to get on the road with this one. We were privvy to a couple inside jokes, living amongst the racing atmosphere that IS Charlotte, but even if we hadn’t gotten that extra little chuckle, there’s definitely plenty to find. Not just for kids. Kids will like the cute characters, and bright colors, adults will like it simply because it’s just plain entertaining without having to dumb down to appeal to kids. You’ll find yourself wanting to find the next twisty backroad to get to your next destination. Watch for all kids of cameo’s, and it’s too bad IMDb doesn’t include a picture of the animated character as well– it’s not always easy to remember what the names are once you get home. Owen’s good, Newman is classic, if a little flat (I applaud him for just plain staying active and leaving his house!), but it’s really Larry the Cable Guy’s movie– newfound appreciation for that one– and ‘tow-mater’ is a multi-layered pun. Not only on the fact that he’s a tow truck, but also his ‘they call me tater salad’ bit– Overall, highly entertaining, just try not to speed too much on the way home….

    “In the Line of Fire” Movie Review

    “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!
