‘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? …

Yep, that including Cradle 2 the Grave… The fights in this movie are awesome, specially the Li vs Li one. Story-wise, the movie have a few plot-holes, but is a science-fiction movie as well so i thinks that is forgivable. I recommend The One for all the Jet-Li fans and the action movies fans as well. BTW the music rocks!

    I really enjoyed watching this film with my family. Granted it wasnt as good as the first but none the lees it was funny. Keenen Ivory Wayans is a good director and knows what the audiance wants. To see him make fun of movies such as Charlies Angels, The Haunting, and The Excersist, was well worth my time to watch this movie.

    “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

    “Apollo 13″ Movie Review

    “Apollo 13″ Plot Summary

    True story of the moon-bound mission that developed severe trouble and the men that rescued it with skill and dedication.

    An exciting time

    Boys own adventure about the ill fated ‘Apollo 13′ mission which was to follow the successful journey that saw Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon.

    Ron Howard deftly recreates the tension, ambition, hope and disappointment which accompanied the crew who dreamed of writing yet another page in ’space race’ history. Ronnie helms with a purpose, never allowing any sidelines or subplots to undermine the story which he skilfully builds to not one, but several nail biting climaxes. Many of us know the story, yet writers John Sayles, William Broyles Jnr. and Al Reinart still manage to entertain us with an involving screenplay which recreates the excitement of the time.

    All the technical teams have masterfully brought to life the NASA Space Centre at Cape Kennedy, along with the amazing hardware that goes with it. The take-off sequence is especially well produced thanks to some stunning special effects and clever cinematography (Dean Cundey – who wields with effect throughout the pic).

    Tom Hanks convincingly personifies the ambitious dreamer Jim Lovell, sharing with us his trials and his triumphs. In support of him is Bill Paxton (in perhaps his biggest role to date), finally playing a character who is not paranoid, and doing so very well. Kevin Bacon also joins the crew, playing a late replacement for the devastated Gary Sinise, who is ousted due to concerns he may contract the measles. Back at Cape Kennedy, an impressive Ed Harris calls the shots in an Academy nominated role, keeping his feet firmly on the ground, unlike his turn in ‘The Right Stuff’.

    James Horner provides a familiar sounding theme.

    Great

    Starship Troopers is a truly excellent film based on dark humour and great amounts of action and violence

    Its effects were great for its time and great amount of tought were put into making this movie

    Its unique story line is what separates this from the rest of your typical sci-fi films

    Its use of advanced weaponry and other military style objects is of excellent quality. Although some parts of it were very unrealistic, it just goes to show how far man can go and the achievements it would succeed in technology

    Also its comedy side of it would be more inclined to go towards the male counterpart as it can be a dark sense of humour

    “Remember the Titans” Plot Summary

    The true story of a newly appointed African-American coach and his high school team on their first season as a racially integrated unit.

    Best Movie I’ve Ever Seen !

    Remember the Titans was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It really showed the passions of all of the people in the movie. It showed that a single high school football team can change the minds of a town and what they think about each other. It taught us a good lesson on racism. Most people just think of movies as entertainment but Remember the Titans was so much more than that and people could really learn a lesson by watching this movie. I suggest that every person watch this at least once in their life because it changed the way I look at everybody. Each character in the movie really had an important part and I can’t believe that this really happened in real life. It is a painful thing to think about how messed up our world is and how it is so full of hatred.

    “Appaloosa” Movie Review

    “Appaloosa” Plot Summary

    Two friends hired to police a small town that is suffering under the rule of a rancher find their job complicated by the arrival of a young widow.

    Good, solid, old-fashioned western.

    Appaloosa is a very old-fashioned western. It does not fit in line with the more recent flux of modern-day westerns such as Assassination of Jesse James, There Will Be Blood, and (to some extent) No Country For Old Men. The most recent comparison that I can think of is 2004’s Open Range, which in my mind, was the superior of the two. This is not to say that I did not enjoy the film. Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen have great on-screen chemistry and there are plenty of humorous moments between the two characters. The film also delivers on the expected quota of shoot-outs that any western fan would appreciate. When they happen they happen fast, a fact that is amusingly observed by the two leads during one devastating gun battle. The problem with this film is that everything seems overly familiar. Though I cannot always pinpoint where I have seen particular scenes before, I still feel that I have seen them, and you are never in any doubt as to where the film is heading. I went in to this film not knowing that it was an adaptation of a novel. After also hearing that it is a very ‘faithful’ adaptation I am led to believe that any narrative familiarity is most likely the fault of the source material and not that of Ed Harris, who of course co-wrote the the screenplay. As it stands, Harris’ direction is handled very nicely, and the film certainly looks beautiful enough. The only other gripe I have is the casting of Renee Zellweger. I have nothing against her personally. She’s a fine actress who has proved herself many times with the likes of Cold Mountain, Bridget Jones, and Chicago. But she does not fit in the role she is given here and I spent most of her screen time wishing someone else in the part. Despite these grumbles Appaloosa is a well made example of the genre that probably deserves more recognition than the average Friday night pop-corn trash that Hollywood has a tendency to put out.

    Cute Toys Are Back With A Bang For More Adventure

    It’s been about a decade since I last saw ‘Toy Story’. Thus, it would be unfair to compare that with ‘Toy Story 2′. Pixar has produced numerous gems since the first ‘Toy Story’. This one is a sheer delightful adventure and it’s not one that is only limited to entertaining children. There are the charming characters from the old one and some wonderful new characters that include the energetic Jessie the Yodelling Cowgirl, the hot barbies and Woody’s faithful and hyper steed. The animation is superb and looks refreshing. The story too takes a new turn that presents the dilemma of whether one should live an eternal life of wealth and security or an unpredictable life that at least promises a few years of love. The actors do a fine job lending their voice. Hanks and Allen are back as Woody and Buzz and Joan Cusack is a treat as the vivacious Jessie. But I must add that I loved Buzz’s gang that includes the hilarious Rex and the lovable Slinky, the resourceful Mr. Potatohead and the cute Hamm, and their attempts to rescue Woody and bring him back home. There’s a beautiful song by Sarah Mclachlan that dictates Jessie’s pain. The sequel being a huge hit just proves how timeless the characters are and I want to see ‘Toy Story’ again just to follow the whole story. It’s already been a decade since, but I wonder whether they’ll make a sequel and what the fate of our toy friends will be once Andy has grown up. ‘Toy Story 2′ is an unforgettable adventure with a beautiful soul.

    “Ninja Assassin” Movie Review

    “Ninja Assassin” Plot Summary

    A young ninja turns his back on orphanage that raised him, leading to a confrontation with a fellow ninja from the clan.

    Pure Ninja Awesomeness

    Rain is not only hot and funny in it but you can tell the amount of training he had was tough, Sho Kosugi gives a great performance (& in English) as leader of the clan

    In general a great production & direction, it gives praise to the classics of it’s genre. Tho there are kids in it doing martial arts (which are pretty good actors as well) Don’t bring yours to see this movie, unless you don’t mind them watching the hyper violence, which the public I screened the movie with enjoyed quite much; those swords are pretty sharp, trust me.by the end the audience had applauded, cheered, LOL, and where very quiet in those sad moments of Raizo’s childhood

    Certainly recommend it.
