“The Man from Earth” Plot Summary
An impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring…
An Amazing Sci-Fi Fantasy!
I recently had the opportunity to view Man From Earth at the Comic-Con Film Festival, and it was amazing. The Sci-Fi thriller goes places I’ve never dreamed of. The movie places the viewer in the backseat for a wild ride through history connecting it to the present. I was shocked at the ideal of a Cro-Magnum surviving until present day, and even more shocked how each professional almost validated the possibilities as the story unfolded. The most unique thing about the movie is who John Oldman has met, and has been (don’t want to give it away, but he’s been the most well known person alive) in his centuries of living, or who he could be in the future! This film is great for anyone who likes movies that challenges the norm! The movie bewilders the mind yet challenges the heart of our beliefs! This amazing Sci-Fi film pays great homage to the late and great Jerome Bixby! Anyone who is a fan most go see this film!

“The Rock” Movie Review
“The Rock” Plot Summary
A group of U.S. marines, under command of a renegade general, take over Alcatraz and threat San Francisco Bay with biological weapons. A chemical weapons specialist and the only man to have ever escaped from the Rock are the only ones who can prevent chaos. add synopsis
‘The Rock’ rocks!
Every time I see ‘The Rock,’ I’m reminded of why I love action movies. They just can’t seem to get any better than this. I may get slammed by others for proclaiming such strong admirations for such a movie, but it’s squarely my opinion. But to remove myself from opinion and move in the direction toward known fact, ‘The Rock’ is an essential action film for any action-film fan
Three years ago I bought the last remaining Criterion Collection DVD at my local video store and I can see now beyond the horizon that another edition of this masterpiece probably isn’t coming any time soon. It is squarely the best film ever done by music video champ-turned-big-budget-Hollywood-music-video-director Michael Bay and the last film ever produced by the Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer duo (Simpson died shortly before ‘The Rock’ was released and the film is dedicated in his memory).
But ‘The Rock’ is all about one thing: entertainment, and nothing else. It’s a hell of a ride from start to finish with plenty ‘o explosions, humor, car chases, and one-liners supplied in a dynamite script by Douglas Cook, Mark Rosner, and David Weisberg (that also contains un-credited work from Quentin Tarantino). Even after this praise, you are, naah, you’re not, still interested in seeing why ‘The Rock’ is so essential, are you?To put it like this, the action begins with General Francis ‘Frank’ R. Hummel (Ed Harris) having a vigil at his wife’s grave and tells her that he is about to make a haste decision in the name of the many men who have died under his command and were consequently forgotten by the American government
So he and his men stage a daring heist at a military depot and make off with 16 rockets loaded with deadly V-X gas, which in the words of one of the film’s characters, ‘Is one of the deadliest substances known to man.’ Their next move is to make a point that they aren’t to be toyed with anymore. So Frank stages a hostage takeover at Alcatraz prison in San Francisco Bay. He tells the kids that are part of a tour group to head back to the boats while the 88 hostages are held in the prison’s cells
Hummel demands the government make restitutions to the surviving family members of every man who has given his life for this country and if they aren’t met, San Francisco will be reduced to nothing but a giant cloud of poison gas. The Pentagon and assorted officials know the score: they know that Hummel knows he isn’t to be messed with and they take his demands seriously
A plan is put into effect: a SEAL team is dispatched to try to retake the island, but there is one catch. No one alive knows the inner workings of Alcatraz prison. No one knows, except John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery), the only man known to have escaped the infamous island and lived to tell about it. But he’s under maximum security incarceration because in the eyes of one F.B.I. Director John Womack (the late John Spencer), he knows all of America’s most ‘intimate’ secrets (including who really shot JFK) and allowing Mason to be on the loose would be a pretty bad idea
There is a third prong: an F.B.I. lab rat with no field experience, Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), is also assigned, and with Mason in tow, they’ll accompany the SEALs to Alcatraz to try to dismantle the rockets and Hummel. Of course Goodspeed is reluctant but because a baby is on the way with his longtime girlfriend, he decides he has no choice but to go
From then on, you know the game since any attempt to further describe the plot would be an exercise in futility: lots of people get shot, firefights, and breakneck pacing that’s trademark of one Mr. Bay and any film produced by a certain Mr. Bruckheimer. What keeps this boat afloat is the dynamic and unlikely partnering of Connery and Cage, who both know their roles well and play off one another, add to the other’s performance like old friends as they navigate through Alcatraz’s labyrinth of dark tunnels and sewers. Ed Harris is even given a third dimension in his villain role that elevates him above the typical action-movie bad guy. He’s a soldier with a chip on his shoulder and his argument is quite convincing (I almost bought into myself). But his true motives later become the subject of a rather colorful and inventive plot twist late in the film.’The Rock’ is why we go to theaters for action in the first place. My view: ‘The Rock’ rocks, big time
Just check it out to see.10/10

“Final Destination 2″ Plot Summary
When Kimberly has a violent premonition of a highway pileup she blocks the freeway, keeping a few others meant to die, safe…Or are they? The survivors mysteriously start dying and it’s up to Kimberly to stop it before she’s next.
Fairly good sequel…
This time, Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) has a dream of a horrible of a deadly car crash killing many, many people. So when she wakes up her and a few others get out of their car and witness the horror themselves. Now, of course, they start to die in the order of how they would have, or are they? The opener is not as fantastic as in the first one, but the rest of the movie is better, in my opinion. Just like the first, there’s a lot of sagging moments. Also, just like the original, the first murder is just okay. But the next 3 or 4 murders make up for it. In the end, it’s all confusing and plot twists and crap with an interesting ender.

“Night of the Living Dead” Movie Review
“Night of the Living Dead” Plot Summary
A group of people hide from bloodthirsty zombies in a farmhouse.
Horror at its absolute best.
‘Night of the Living Dead’ is proof that you do not need a multi-million dollar movie budget to make an unbelievable movie. This film still frightens many people (including myself) thirty some years after it was made. It is always amazing to me each time I watch this film how it still manages to appeal to my most basic fear instincts. There have been countless movies since this one that have been made for a hundred times as much money that I have seen and forgotten, but I am sure this one will always stay with me
This film does such a fine job of shocking and frightening that it is easy to forget how George Romero made it remarkable in other ways. It was quite a coup in the late 60’s to give a black character the lead in a movie and Romero quite cleverly satirizes race relations throughout the film. I think he is making a point of asking if human beings are really any better than the flesh-eating zombies. This is most potent at the end, when the black character is assumed to be a zombie and is shot and killed. Would they have made that mistake with a white person? Maybe. Maybe not. This is also a point that was severely botched in the 1990 remake, when they actually had Tony Todd’s character become a zombie. In a way, that misses the entire point of the original
Regardless, if you are a horror movie aficionado or someone interested in sociology, this movie must be seen. One thing is for sure. Love it or hate it, it will always stay with you.

“The Final Destination” Movie Review
“The Final Destination” Plot Summary
After a teen’s premonition of a deadly race-car crash helps saves the lives of his peers, Death sets out to collect those who evaded their end.
I like 1-3 better…
I’ve enjoyed the Final Desitination series thus far. But in the 4th one I didn’t like it at all
I wish it would be a little longer than the what 80 or so minutes it is. It seemed rushed and was basically driven by death after death
The visions the teen sees are a lot more descriptive than the others in the older movies. So you can basically guess whats going to happen to the character(s).
Death now can magically move objects across the room. In the other movies death would be a wind blowing across the room that causes some object to fall over and start the death in motion. Now death moves objects itself which was less enjoyable
Finally in his premonition I wish they would have been more creative than just having like 10 characters die by being crushed by stands
What I did like about the movie though, were two of the deaths. Then escalator and the car wash attack (though the car wash scene wasn’t a death.) I still like the whole concept and I do hope they make another Final Destination movie that is improved. More realistic deaths and vaguer visions would be a far better movie.

“Beverly Hills Cop 2″ Plot Summary
Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills to help Taggart and Rosewood investigate Chief Bogamil’s near-fatal shooting and the series of “alphabet crimes” associated with it. add synopsis
Excellent Sequel, That’s Very Entertaining
This is an excellent sequel that’s very entertaining. It’s loaded with great humor, lots of laughs, exciting action, and it had 3 excellent main leads but it can’t quite match the original. The 2 main villains are very menacing, even though we hardly see Jurgen Prochnow, he was still very menacing when on screen. It’s somewhat of a rehash of the 1st, but that’s okay Murphy is still funny as hell, and The finale is excellent. One of the funniest parts in the film is, Reinhold’s sudden obsession with huge guns, and it had some pretty powerful moments, especially when Capt Bogomil gets shot. The Direction is very good. Tony Scott does a very good job here, keeping the film at an exciting pace, injecting lots of great humor, good camera angles, and doing a great job overall!. There is some blood. but lots of very bloody gunshot wounds is all we get. The Acting is awesome!. Eddie Murphy is wonderful here, once again he is HILARIOUS, very likable, had great chemistry with, Ashton and Reinhold, and was lots of fun to watch!. Judge Reinhold, is also wonderful here, he is also HILARIOUS, seemed to be having a lot of fun, plus he he had a lot more to do this time around, and was very likable. John Ashton is excellent here once again, he is also quite funny at times, and very likable, and also had more to do. Jurgen Prochnow does good as one of the main villains, but didn’t really have that much screen time. Ronny Cox is fine here again, but also didn’t have that much screen time. Brigitte Nielsen is good looking, and did excellent here as one of the main villains, and man was she big!, she was also very menacing. Allen Garfield is very good here, but he was EXTREMELY unlikable,, and yelled to much and i just wanted to slap him!, he did his job well though. Dean Stockwell, has a small role here, and did fine with it
Paul Reiser is good here, once again. Gilbert R. Hill is great again as the tough inspector. Robert Ridgely is decent as the mayor. and Alice Adair is okay as Bogomil’s daughter. And look out for a cameo by a very young Chris Rock!. Overall a must see! **** out of 5

“Final Destination” Plot Summary
After having a vision of his friends crashing in a plane, he tells them not to get on only later his friends start getting killed one by one.
Surprisingly good movie!
I went to see ‘Final Destination’ without any expectations, I havent really seen any commercials for it and theres no well known actors in it
I was surprised on how good it was. I saw a couple of comments on the IMDb before seeing it, and noticed that it was being said to be quite the same as Scream, for instance. I do not agree.’Scream’ was the first in a series of ‘new’ slasher movies, but it`s originallity really disappeared after the first one. The story of a serial killer has after ‘Scream’ been portrayed in films like: ‘I know what you did last summer’ and ‘Urban Legend’. Another likeness amongst theese movies is that there is always young people being slayed of, and that was the only thing that annoyed me a bit about *’Final Destination’ as well
On the other hand, ‘Final Destination’ is quite original when it comes to ‘the killer’. Now, i won`t give anything away, but it`s really different, and if you`re ready for something else than the story of a mad serial killer doing it over and over (Friday the 13th, Halloween, Scream, and hundreds of others…).The cast is good and the best scene is in the aircraft and when Terry decides to take the bus….Enjoy!

“Platoon” Movie Review
“Platoon” Plot Summary
A young recruit in Vietnam faces a moral crisis when confronted with the horrors of war and the duality of man.
Best War Movie Ever Made
PLATOON is the best war movie ever made. It’s dark, harrowing, complex, and thrilling. But because so much attention is paid to Oliver Stone’s real life status as a Vietnam vet, most people assume the story is totally original and totally based on one man’s first-hand experience. I, on the other hand, would like to suggest some of the literary and cultural roots of the classic film
Norman Mailer’s THE NAKED AND THE DEAD presented a vision of jungle combat in World War II that obviously inspired Oliver Stone in many ways. Both emphasize the fact that the soldiers are drawn from the lowest level of society. Both show the war as being run by selfish elites who take no part in the suffering and dying
Both are dominated by a cruel villain — Sgt. Barnes in PLATOON is in many ways a perfect replica of Sgt. Croft. Both are Army lifers, both enjoy torturing and killing helpless victims, both talk in terms of authority and control being more important than justice or even logic. Both are perfectly willing to use cold-blooded murder as a way to hold on to authority among their own troops. Both are presented as being Southerners/Westerners, linked to the genocide of the Indians and the lawless violence of the frontier. The name ‘Barnes’ is a play on ‘Croft’ since both link to the farming past and to the rural America big city boys like Mailer and Stone both (fairly or unfairly) detest
But Oliver Stone goes beyond Mailer in many ways. While in Mailer’s book the attempts by Lieutenant Hearn and Red Valsen to stand up to Croft are almost pathetically ineffective, PLATOON presents both Elias and later, even Chris Taylor as fully capable of defying Barnes and demanding justice. This is what gives the movie a far greater power and resonance than Mailer’s book
Moreover, Stone is not afraid of mysticism and symbolism, and he is not shackled by the socialist-realist documentary aesthetics of Mailer’s novel. Thus while Red Valsen ‘must’ be a working man and a left-wing stick figure, Elias’ ethnic and economic background is left a mystery. In the same way, Barnes, while clearly linked to the mean rednecks of the platoon and the violence of the Old West, is also linked to more compelling and even sympathetic tragic heroes, such as Captain Ahab and even — dare one say it — Count Dracula
Tom Berenger is a much better actor than Bela Lugosi, to be sure. But notice the similarities. Just as Dracula is always seen with the whining, submissive Renfield in tow, so Barnes is always being compared to his wheedling, repulsive sidekick O’Neill. Just as Dracula cannot die, so Barnes also seems to be immortal. (One of the good men even says, ‘Barnes ain’t meant to die.’) Barnes all but quotes Dracula in the chilling scene in the bunker when he dares (or begs) the good men of the platoon to kill him. His seemingly offhand remark — ‘death? What do you all know about death?’ — suggests that Barnes cannot die because he is already dead. This is eerily reminiscent of Dracula’s statement that ‘to die — to be really dead — that must be glorious.’ The point here is that PLATOON is indeed a brutal, realistic look at Vietnam, but it is also a classic movie which draws upon a whole host of literary and film classics for its mythic resonance and power
What a magnificent and yet tragic achievement for Oliver Stone!

“Spy Game” Movie Review
“Spy Game” Plot Summary
Retiring CIA agent Nathan Muir recalls his training of Tom Bishop while working against agency politics to free him from his Chinese captors. add synopsis
excellent film
Top notch thriller. Engrossing, though typical plot/subplot (two men develop friendship, woman comes between them, but buddy helps out and saves couple) and great character development considering characters are supposed to be mysterious spies and very little is told about their background
Robert Redford is a cynical, yet warm mentor, and Brad Pitt is a hotshot moralist as well as being the best assassin in the ‘business’. Redford is an old-school operative who uses his ‘tradecraft’ to out-wit the technology the modern CIA now relies on, to bust his protegee out of a Chinese prison after Pitt’s character, a rogue agent, uses CIA resources to rescue his girlfriend, fails and ends up in prison himself facing execution in less then 24 hours for being a spy . The relationship between the two men is told in a series of flashbacks that span a time-line of about 20 years starting during the Vietnam war to the cold war in Berlin and the mean streets of Beruit as Redford’s character stalls for time during a debriefing into the rescue failure on his last day of work before retirement. In the meantime, between breaks of debriefing, he mines for information about why the CIA won’t save one of their own as well as setting up a covert operation to get Pitt and his girlfriend out of prison before they are executed
Cinematography is reminiscent of brother Ridley (grainy, washed-out imagery in tones of brown and blue), and editing and camera movement is more like recent films from Woo or Ang Lee. The action is realistic without being over the top. There are no fancy gadgets or impossible stunts
Compared to stuff like XXX (or worse, XXX-2), Mission Impossible 1 & 2, or any number of action thrillers about secret agents (such as the most recent crop of James Bond films or Charlie’s Angels), this movie seems to tell it the way it is or the way you might think reality might be. The ‘tradecraft’ actually makes way more sense then, say, a watch with a laser cutter built in or a car with missiles an ejection seat. All in all, a very watchable and believable film.
