“Straw Dogs” Movie Review
“Straw Dogs” Plot Summary
A young American and his English wife come to rural England and face increasingly vicious local harassment.
First rate thriller.
Peckinpah’s post- ‘Wild Bunch’ movies were a mixed bag. Frequently battling studios, censors and/or his own demons, some are genuine classics (‘..Alfredo Garcia’), some are entertaining potboilers (‘The Getaway’), and some like ‘Straw Dogs’ are in between. I could never argue that this movie is his best work, but it is far from his worst, and whatever you can say about his movies, they are ALWAYS interesting.’Straw Dogs’ is the closest he came to making a genre horror/thriller movie. If you enjoy ‘Rio Bravo’-inspired siege movies such as Romero’s ‘Night Of The Living Dead’ or Carpenter’s ‘Assault On Precinct 13′, check this one out. But it is more than ‘just’ a thriller – it features strong character development, and morally ambiguous situations among the tense build up to the explosive climax. In these P.C. times ‘Straw Dogs’ offers no simple answers, but plenty of issues for discussion, and it is to be commended for that. ‘Right’ or ‘wrong’? YOU decide!

“Hercules” Movie Review
“Hercules” Plot Summary
The son of the Greek Gods Zeus and Hera is stripped of his immortality as an infant and must become a true hero in order to reclaim it.
This is fun.
Genre: Based on Greek myths, animation, relationships
Actors: Famous ones are Danny DeVito (Phil) and James Woods (Hades).
Main characters: Hercules, Zeus, Meg and Hades
What happens: Hercules is the son of the ALL POWERFUL Greek God Zeus. The day Hercules is born, he is captured and made mortal (only three of the characters know how this happens). Someone makes Hercules mortal and then he is adopted by mortal humans. This is only the beginningMessage: That you are a hero if you love as well as fight
My thoughts: I like this film. I think it has more of a potential of being liked to a 8-11 aged audience, as I liked it more than I do now at that age. I still like it because it is very fun, the animation is different, a little weird, but quite good! I also still like the characters, especially Meg and Phil and Hades is funny and I like funny baddies in Disney films. Of course I like all the good Greek Gods, they are somehow potentially likable. I used to like Pain and Panic (Hades’s servants) a lot when I was younger, but I’m starting to like them less now because I’m growing up and they are growing a little too silly for my liking. Also this film has a good share of slapstick AND wit in it for my entertainment. I also really like the songs, especially ‘Go The Distance’ and ‘I Won’t Say I’m In Love’ or whatever it’s called. My favourite character is Phil because I like his personality and he also looks kind of cute when he’s excited and happy when to most people he’s supposed to be quite UGLY (but I don’t agree with that). So I like this film! Recommended to: Mainly people who are aged 8-11, people who like animated Disney films and for people who like ‘fun’ films. Enjoy! :-)7 and a half out of 10.
