‘The Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ 1991 – Review
T-1000
10 years after the events described in the first Terminator film, Skynet sends back a new, improved Terminator (model T-1000). Its objective is the termination of Sarah Connor’s son – John Connor, which will lead people in the fight against the machines. John Connor, knowing about the plans of Skynet, also sends a Terminator back – reprogrammed T-800 model. He must protect ten year old John from T-1000 …
Trying to retell the plot of Terminator 2 is an ungrateful and useless thing: almost everybody in the world has seen the movie. This film has gained cult status long ago and entered the world’s cinema history as one of the best examples of Sci-Fi action.

For those times, “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” has become an incredibly ambitious project: for the first time the budget of the movie exceeds one hundred millionth mark. However, after the success of the first “Terminator”, “Aliens” and “The Abyss” Cameron had a lot of credibility with the studios, so he got away with the costs overrun quite easily. And, as time has shown, the producers and investors were not mistaken having faith and confidence in Cameron. The terminator sequel was not only even more ambitious, impressive and vivid in terms of production, but also more emotional, deeper and multidimensional than the original. Along with that, the Judgment Day doesn’t conflict with The Terminator (1984), but develops logically and quite organically the ideas that were put up in the 1984 movie. Therefore, it makes good sense to consider these movies as dilogy, rather than separate projects.
Famous Terminator Smile
Of course, like any real masterpiece, the Terminator dilogy did not just happen in an empty space: the theme of the machine’s revolt against humanity has been raised before in cinema and literature. The most brilliant example is, of course, Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey”. However, in Kubrick’s film, the idea was resolved in a completely different context and with the opposite genre shades (slow philosophical narration instead of Cameron’s non-stop action). It is therefore more logical to compare dilogy with the Aliens movie franchise (at the time of “Terminator 2″ release there were only 2 parts of the quadrilogy, the first -”Alien” – directed by Ridley Scott, and the second – “Aliens” – by James Cameron). The latter two movies raise a number of different topics, however, the main characters – the Alien and Lieutenant Ripley – have a clear resemblance to the T-1000 and Sarah Connor. Merciless and practically invulnerable creature opposed to the female-warrior, female-savior, who desperately fights for the sake of herself (“Alien” 1979), and then for the sake of all humankind (“Aliens” 1986).

“Shanghai Noon” Plot Summary
Jackie Chan plays a Chinese man who travels to the Wild West to rescue a kidnapped princess. After teaming up with a train robber, the unlikely duo takes on a Chinese traitor and his corrupt boss. add synopsis
perfect blend of action and comedy, the funniest western ever
This movie is a perfect blend of action and comedy. This movie stars Jackie Chan as Chon Wang, one of the soldiers of the army of the forbidden city in China. When the princess leaves and goes to America it is up to Chon to bring her back. When he gets to Nevada, where most of the story takes place he meets Roy O’Bannon played by Owen Wilson u’ll ever meet. He is a wanted outlaw and in an odd chain of events they become a duo. This is the funniest western, this movie surpasses Blazing Saddles by far. Blazing Saddles is funny but the one-liners that Owen Wilson drop are just so hilarious. ‘I don’t know Karate but I do know crazy, and I will use it’. Lucy Lui also stars as the Princess This movie is definitely worth seeing but you kinda wanna steer clear of the sequel ‘Shanghai Knights’ It does not do the first film justice. I have never been able to complete the second one mainly because it is boring. But salutes to Shanghai Noon the funniest western to date. 9 out of 10

“Gattaca” Movie Review
“Gattaca” Plot Summary
A genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.
It’s the little things that tell you you’ve found quality!
I rented this film cold at the video store — and was very pleasantly surprised with a very well done movie. If you don’t know anything else about Gattaca, the less you know, the better. Stop reading this review right now, go watch it, and come back when you’re done!It was after my first viewing of the film that several little details dawned on me:1) The term ‘borrowed ladder’ is a utterly-brilliantly-conceived bit of future slang that carries a *double meaning*. I’m still amazed that the producers didn’t make more of this. Instead, they were content to leave this gem to be discovered by the thinking and missed by the vast masses. I was very definitely impressed. 2) As I was explaining the film to my wife, it occurred to me in mid-explanation that this is really a film that has to do with what is properly called =eugenics=; one of the things the Nazis were about. Then my mind wandered to word etymologies: I recalled that the name ‘Eugene’ = ‘well born.’ And then I realized…!!!3) It’s interesting the extent to which so many of the characters in the film *didn’t* live up to their genetic destiny, one way or another.4) Because I hadn’t seen any previews, I had no immediate reference for where the name ‘Gattaca’ had come from. And then I suddenly realized…!!!5) It wasn’t until I watched the movie the second time that I caught the effects with the title sequence letters…Now I had figured out by this time that there were likely to be other intriguing little details I’ve missed, so I was fascinated to read from another reviewer here about the boy Vincent falling with a toy rocket in his hand. I wonder what else is in there?All in all, this is a very well written, tightly woven movie. Seen cold, with no real prior knowledge of the film, it came off as a tremendous science-fiction SUSPENSE THRILLER. There were several scenes that just had me climbing the walls with tension. Fabulous job!And I’m not the only one who thinks so. When my WIFE says she wants to see a SCIENCE FICTION movie for the SECOND TIME… well, I don’t think THAT has EVER happened before!

“Air Force One” Movie Review
“Air Force One” Plot Summary
Hijackers seize the plane carrying the President of the United States and his family, but he (an ex-soldier) works from hiding to defeat them.
A Great Thriller!
Air Force One is a very good thriller. The action and suspense will be nothing to forget. This movie is about the President’s plane, Air Force One being hijacked by Russian nationalists with the President on board. Now it’s up to the President and the Vice-President to negotiate with the terrorists or the hostages will die. The acting in this film is pretty good. Harrison Ford did justice with his outstanding performance as the President. Gary Oldman is good as the evil terrorist. The music in this film is fabulous and patriotic considering that the score took two weeks by Jerry Goldmith to compose. I liked the effects in this film. There is nothing special, but for a film from 1997, this has good effects even though there are few. Overall, this is a good movie for everybody except for kids. This film is a moving picture with outstanding courage. My rating is 10/10.

“A Few Good Men” Plot Summary
Neo military lawyer Kaffee defends Marines accused of murder; they contend they were acting under orders. add synopsis
Really deep, insightful movie
I started watching this movie with no great expectations. I was bored, to say the least, and it just happened to be showing on the channel I was watching. When I saw the opening credits and names like Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson and Kiefer Sutherland showed up, my interest was piqued and I started watching this film in the hopes that these great actors would deliver. And they definitely did. This was a courtroom drama, but it was also about the marine corps. It was an enthralling movie, and really got you engrossed and wondering, ‘Are they telling the truth?, Are they going to go to jail?’ etc etc. The high points of the movie for me were the private accused of murder (I can’t remember his name now) and the way he was devoted to his superior, Hal. I also enjoyed the sexual tension between Tom Cruise and Demi Moore, and would have enjoyed to see it developed a bit more in this movie. However, the ULTIMATE thought-provoker/tear-jerking scene was one of the last, when the accused are pronounced NOT GUILTY on counts of murder but GUILTY on counts of behaviour unfit for a Marine (or something like that). Then the private says, ‘Hal, (Jack Nicholson) said he ordered a code red, we didn’t do anything wrong!’ and Harold says ‘We were supposed to be fighting for those who can’t fight for themselves. We should’ve fought for Willy.’ ANd he walks out of the courtroom with his head high. This simply goes to show that principle, rules can only take you so far, but conscience, right and wrong, are what we ultimately have to deal with. Wonderful movie, I will not soon forget it.

“Year One” Plot Summary
Zed, a prehistoric would-be hunter, eats from a tree of forbidden fruit and is banished from his tribe… add synopsis
Very Funny!!!
This was an extremely funny movie and had great gags, hilarious references to Biblical history, and much more! Jack Black was incredibly funny as a lazy hunter named Zed, and Michael Cera plays his friend who is a gatherer named Oh. When Zed is caught eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, he is banished from the tribe, but Oh decides to join him. They run into Cain and Able, meet Abraham, who is fixing to kill his son Isaac, stop Maya and Eema from becoming slaves, and much more! If you are a hardcore Christian, you may not like this movie, but it’s all in good fun! I highly recommend YEAR ONE!!!

“Taken” Movie Review
“Taken” Plot Summary
A former spy relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who has been forced into the slave trade.
A pleasant surprise
Quite a surprise to see such a good movie highly ignored. The film is shot similar to the Bourne movies but carves out it’s own niche. Great job by Neeson who once again proves that he can basically do any role and is highly underrated. The premise of the movie is simple and the action starts out with a bang. I just wish the release date would be the same in the United States as abroad. Supporting cast is solid
Action seens ae intense and much more realistic then what is normally shot. I think this could have had a very good theatrical run but being released so early in other countries means it will just be pirated. Hopefully we’ll get to see a sequel but I doubt it. Check it out you won’t be sorry.
