Absolute Power

Clint Eastwood stars in a movie where he plays a thief that witnesses the president commit a murder. He is then hunted in this suspense drama. I thought this movie was good because it showed deception in the government. What I don't get that Clint Eastwood is a thief which isn't very moral
but he is pissed at the governor for commiting this murder which is much worse but would not seem as bad to someone that robs for a living. Overall Rating: 7.3

Bloodsport

I am not the biggest fan of Jean Claude Van Damne movies but this is probably the best one. It is good because it is underground fighting taking place in a foreign country where you are never really sure what the rules are. Van Damne loses a friend and in this loss has to fight the man that killed him. The perfect set up for a revenge match.  Overall Rating: 6.8

Rocky V

rockyv.jpg

By far the worst of the Rocky movies. Rocky did not even box in this movie. The best thing about this movie is that Rocky goes back to his roots and gets in a street fight. Tommy Morrison plays Rocky's prtege that later disrespects him. Rocky will only take this for so long and he has to fight Tommy. Rocky can no longer fight any matches because he has gotten hit too many times and it could kill him. Overall Rating: 5.8

Desperate Measures

This is an action packed movie about a serial killer that is the only available donor for a man's son. Michael Keaton uses this proposal so he can get into a low security place so he can escape. The best part of this movie is when Michael Keaton dislocates his thumb to get out of his handcuffs. The father has to catch Keaton but he also has to make sure that Keaton doesn't get killed. Overall Rating: 5.3

Last Man Standing

Bruce Willis movie from the west where he is a greedy outlaw. This movie has a couple good action scenes and you think that Bruce Willis is the perfect guy to play an independent role like this. You wonder why both groups didn't just kill him. By the end of the movie he gets in between these two families so much that they destroy each other and the whole town. Overall Rating: 5.6

The Last of the Mohicans

This movie is about three men who are the last of the Mohican tribe. The three men must protect the families of the men who have gone to fight in the militia. This tale is very graphic especially the scenes with the scalping. This is a story about love. I didn't really grip this movie too well, I didn't feel like the story was very relevant. They didn't really stop the mohawk people and they could have run off before any of this happened. Overall Rating: 8.2

Batman Returns

This is the sequel to the blockbuster smash Batman. In this Batman has to battle against the Penguin which is played by Danny Devito. This movie is filled with Big Stars but is not as big as the original. The original had Batman as more of a hidden idea. In this one he is too much of a front page story all the time. Overall Rating: 5.5

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

While I was watching this movie I could not get past Mickey Rourke's resemblance to Bruce Willis.  I thought that Don Johnson played a terrible Marlboro Man.  I guess when you think of these two guys you think of a couple of guys who are a little bit tougher and not too guys who are always on the run.  Their were a couple of good action scenes in this movie but all in all it was not the picture of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man I was looking for. Overall Rating: 2.0

Lethal Weapon

I thought this was a great action movie. The best thing about this movie is that it combines a little bit of comedy with some great action. I thought it was great because the two cops were just normal people and they were not your usual bad ass cops. Mel Gibson plays a wonderful role it the movie that really broke things open for him. I thought that the bad guys had the upper hand as it would seem in real life. But the bops luck just kept coming through. Overall Rating: 8.8

Superman 2

This is my favorite of all the Superman movies. In this movie Superman has enemies of equal power that he has to defeat. Superman decides to give up his powers for love and he finds that it is a mistake. What would it be like to be strong, then to be so weak? Superman is not perfect in this movie, it makes him seem a little more human. Overall Rating: 7.4

Rocky III

rocky3.jpg

Some people tell me that this is their favorite of the Rocky movies. When is comes to Rocky I think that 1,3,4 are pretty much a toss up. The good thing about Rocky 3 is that Rocky loses to Mr. T. After this loss it becomes a revenge battle for Rocky against someone who is stronger and faster. On a sad note Rocky 3 brings the loss of Micky which makes you think their will be no more Rocky's after this. Overall Rating: 5.9

Glory

This is a great movie about the civil war and the fighting of the first regiment of all black troops. Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Matthew Broderick all headline this all star cast. This movie is great because it shows how hard the blacks fought and at the same time how brutal the civil war was for this country. Matthew Broderick finally sees the war for what it is and his troops go into battle with bravery. Overall Rating: 9.1

Batman

The original Batman was excellent. They show Batman as almost a bad guy and very mysterious. He isn't your normal good superhero character. Michael Keaton plays Batman and does a great job. The Joker is the villain in part one and Jack Nicholson plays the perfect smile. He has the perfect smile
to be the joker. This is the best of the Batman movies. Batman is mysterious to so many people. Overall Rating: 8.8

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

I thought this movie was very good. Morgan Freeman helps Kevin Costner after Costner helps him escape from a Turkish prison. He goes on to lead a band of raiders in the woods. This movie has romance, action and betrayal and Costner plays a great role of a fairy tale that many have been told. Robin Hood has to beat his arch enemy the Sheriff of Nottingham. Overall Rating: 7.9

Enemy of the State

A good suspense movie about how your whole life can be monitored. Will Smith gets some information and it puts him in grave danger. Gene Hackman helps him in these trials. This movie is fast paced and has a lot of action. This movie is very scary how you can be watched so easily in a movie with such modern technology. Overall Rating: 7.4

Jurassic Park

This was a revolutionary movie about an island that is populated by dinosuars. These dinosaurs were created from DNA from fossilized insects. This movie has amazing graphic scenes and it is fascinating yet scary. The T Rex shows just how dangerous dinosaurs can be. I think the actors do a great job showing how unbelievable an island like this would be.  Overall Rating: 9.0

This movie was pretty good until the T Rex goes to New York.  I thought that this completely ruined the movie.  I thought the first three quarters of the movie were as scary if not scarier than the original.  They also mixed in a little more comedy than in the original.  This movie may have had a little too much T Rex and not enough of the other dinosaurs. Overall Rating: 6.4

The Big Hit

bighit.jpg

This movie stars Marky Mark as a hitman that is very gullible. He is completely controlled by his girlfriend(Christina Applegate) and gets into a lot of trouble for following his friends idea. This movie is an action movie with some unique comedy twisted in. Most of the time the comedy comes from Marky Mark for the situation that he is in. This movie has a few good gun scenes but overall the movie is mediocre. Overall Rating: 4.4

The Crow

Video Clip

thecrow.jpg

A Batman type movie that is about a man who is killed and his soul cannot rest until he gets revenge for him and his girlfriend getting killed. The thing that makes this movie so memorable is that it is the movie that Brandon Lee gets killed in and the scene actually stays in the movie. This movie has a couple of good action scenes and a good story behind it. I think they could have done a little better job with describing how the crow and him were related. I thought it was great how the whole movie was dark. Overall Rating: 8.9
