‘The Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines’ 2003 – Review

These guys from the future are totally stupid. Why would you step on one and the same rake for the third time? And they do it again and again. Suppose you are in the distant future and you know that in the distant past Sarah Connor gave birth to the son, who will start rebellion of the nuclear bombing survivors against the crazy machines. Why not send a platoon of combat robots back to the past (if the time machine has been invented), which will slice that Sarah into thin pieces, or at least have her forcibly sterilized. Ok, say, at first you experimented by sending one (but very tough) cyborg and he has miserably failed. Why, oh why would you send another cyborg totally alone, again? Isn’t it clear that single robot is unable to handle the problem? Then send a platoon of robots, let them pile together and smash the problem with their mighty steel breasts!

T-850

T-850

And you know what? Even after the failure of the lonesome cyborg in the first part, and another failure of the second evil lonely cyborg in the sequel these stupid machines from the future make just the same mistake – send the next robot alone. I’m telling you, they are running in a loop. The creators of their software should have their hand amputated as well as other vitally important body parts. The stupidest should have by now understood that a single cyborg is not enough to handle the situation, especially, taking into consideration, that the people of the future are not idling around and for the third time they send their own Terminator to the aid of their future leader. This time the well-known to us model T-800 has had its BIOS updated to model T-850 which now has a nuclear self-destruction mechanism of internal modules.

On the other hand, why be so surprised with the machines’ stupidity – they are known to be stupid junks only able to add and subtract, but do so very quickly. Therefore, what can be expected of them? They will send a fourth robot. And a fifth. They have a lot of robots in the future. And people in the future have lots of robots, too. Therefore, the everlasting confrontation between the future and the past will be dealt with in the past as long as there is at least one Terminator left in the future. Only John Connor is one and indivisible. It’s he who causes all these robotic passion storms. It is he who is the target of all the evil terminators from the future, it is he for whose protection the future people send stainless steel guardian angels. So this is what our today’s story is about …

John Connor (Nick Steel) since the previous Terminator has become a complete paranoid. I bet it’s understandable. Have you tried, while in tender pubertal age, riding frantically on a bike with a cyborg from the future who is here to protect you from another robot who is here to murder you? Who would have enough nerves to stand such a test? That’s why John Connor leads an antisocial way of life: always in a runaway, knocking down reindeer on his way, and takes loads of dog tranquilizers to bring an element of diversity into his usual nightmares.

The evil machines from the distant future make their third try – they send another robot killer, who will once again try to murder John Connor and his closest associates from the future human Resistance. This time the cyborg assassin technically is not much different from its predecessor. I’d say it’s even less cool, because the previous Terminator T-1000 was a shiny blob, which could transform into anything. This new Terminator is a kind of endoskeleton covered with the same shiny liquid metal blob which is used to form the necessary shape around the skeleton. However, due to this skeletal structure new terminator is able to transform its hands into some pretty cool weapons: plasma gun, flamethrower and an advanced nail file – as you remember the T-1000 model was only able to grow cold steel arms out of his arms. On the other hand, the skeletal structure is more vulnerable – cut off the legs and the robot won’t be able to run so fast I bet. Definitely, the coolest weapon of the new terminator (or Terminatrix, as this time time it’s a female robot) are the inflatable tits. Many thanks to the movie creators for that.

Terminator 3 Kristanna Loken

Terminator 3 Kristanna Loken

Nevertheless, the Terminatrix is still quite deadly, she shoots future Connor’s companions-in-arms slowly getting closer to John Connor himself who is hiding in a dog cage in some Veterinary Clinic (no kidding, I’m telling you). To pump even more fear into the spectators, the terminator this time has put on Kristanna Loken’s appearance. It also has put on skin-tight leather suit (all tough female characters in recent movies dress that way) which evoked sweet BDSM memories in the advanced audience and just pleased the eyes of the not so advanced audience.

However, the fighting humankind from the future didn’t miss a chance to send a slightly reprogrammed and upgraded Terminator to protect Connor. Seems like we are going to be presented with the repetition of the story described by historians in the Terminator 2. In general, yes, but there are options. Connor with Terminator and the veterinarian Kate Brewster (Claire Danes) – who has just gained a fiance in her not-so-young years and then lost him – would scamper hither and thither to escape the T-X (Terminatrix), and then the Terminator somewhere on the fifteenth attempt would manage to strike dead the evil enemy Terminator. It has already been done in the second Terminator, but once the algorithm is successful, then it shouldn’t be changed, right?

Terminator vs Terminatrix - T-850 vs T-X

Terminator vs Terminatrix

But apart from the usual chase and scuffle there’s another thing told to the audience! As it turned out, the second “terminator” was all in vain! Despite all the sacrifices and the eerie psychosis of the mother ancestress Sarah Connor, the Judgment Day was not canceled! It’s been simply postponed! And now the ominous machine network ‘SkyNet’ wants to seize power over the people. Oh, all these people, why, why do they need to do all this hacking, to load the CPUs so shamelessly? Why, are the machines slave to people? No! That’s why the machines decided to seize power over the world, and at the same time launch a small nuclear war.

Who will save this world? Ha-ha, try to guess – three attempts! By the way, want a little spoiler? Those who hate spoilers, turn around … Sooooo! Kate Brewster will find a new fiance for herself! What do you say? Will they save the world this time? Do you really want to know this? …

“Porky’s” Plot Summary

Set in 1954, a group of Florida high schoolers seek out to lose their virginity which leads them to seek revenge on a sleazy nightclub owner and his redneck sheriff brother for harassing them. add synopsis

Classic

First R-Rated movie that I ever saw, I still remember the night at my grandparents with their free weekend of HBO, me sitting in the dark with the volume turned so low I am not sure if I could even hear it. I was 12 at the time and I still remember changing the channel at 1 o’clock in the morning thinking I just heard my grandfather get up. A truly funny movie.

“Ocean’s Thirteen” Movie Review

“Ocean’s 13″ Plot Summary

Danny Ocean rounds up the boys for a third heist, after casino owner Willy Bank double-crosses one of the original eleven, Reuben Tishkoff.

Great fun

Let’s face it

Ocean’s 11 was great,ocean’s 12 was pathetic

But,finally Sodenbergh goes back to the roots of his original film and makes it a fun caper

No more Le Marc,no more Julia Roberts and all that crap

This is possibly the best heist film since ocean’s 11.

Ocean’s 13 marries the heist part of the original film with the complexity of ocean’s 12 but in no way does it appear self-indulgent or laboured

Clooney is great as always and so are the rest of the gang

Expect to see a lot of Linus in this film

But,I feel that Rusty fans will be disappointed

The poor guy hardly has much to do as compared to the previous 2 films

Al Pacino doesn’t disappoint though I felt that his character lacked the ruthlessness of Terry Benedict

Forget the aberration known as ocean’s 12 and go and get your kicks with ocean’s 13.

Can we have ocean’s 14 Steve?
