Terminal Velocity (1994)
Could have been better
This is an enjoyable movie, but it could have been better. It should have been a straight out comedy, but sometimes seems to take itself too seriously. A few more gags, and it would have been a very funny movie. But now, it is entertaining and mildly funny, so you may as well watch it.
Thunder and Lightning (1977)
An enjoyable and funny movie
Thunder and Lightning is an interesting movie, it's an action movie with a plot! The characters actually have reasons to do what they do. David Carradine stars as a bootlegger and Kate Jackson is his fiancee. Her father is a soft-drink manufacturer who is secretly making and distributing large quantities of moonshine. The conflict starts when her father's goons decide to close down Carradine's operation. It is pretty much an adventure comedy from then on, with lots of car chases, fights, banjo music, rednecks, hillbillies and moonshine. Watch for the gator-wrestling church!
Clifford (1994)
Starts off slow!
Clifford starts off slow. Then it drags on for a while, before it reaches the unremarkable ending. There are a few funny moments in this film, but overall, it is a waste of time. I guess if you are trapped on an iceberg in Antarctica, and the next supply ship doesn't arrive for two months, you might want to watch Clifford. Naaaah. Take a long walk in the snow instead.
Space Probe Taurus (1965)
Great Special FX
This movie is a classic. It has a sexist spaceship captain, who is very angry that a WOMAN has been assigned to his ship. The woman quickly puts him in his place. The special effects in this movie are totally unbelievable! You must see them! I am sure that other movies such as "2001" stole a lot of ideas from this classic. Also "Star Trek" is obviously playing homage to "First Woman In Space" with everything they do. WATCH THIS MOVIE TODAY! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! Although you might be terrified by the horrific space monsters.
Romper Stomper (1992)
Not violent enough
Many people say this movie is too violent. NO WAY! It's not violent ENOUGH! I have seen more violence down at the pub on Friday night with my mates! If anything, the makers of the film should be being blasted for not portraying life as it really is. This fairy floss version of skinhead violence is an insult to all truly violent people.
Cobra (1986)
This movie doesn't make sense
This movie doesn't make sense. It's got lots of axe murderers in it, who are trying to start the "New World". So they go around killing people. But there is no mention of WHY they are going around killing people, or how this will bring about the "New World". Basically it is just a very stupid movie with a lot of people getting killed for no apparent reason.
Blue Velvet (1986)
Not violent enough
This movie is not really violent enough. From the start of the film, when the little boy finds the dried apricot with the ants crawling all over it, until the final bloody scene, there is nowhere near enough violence. When will movie-makers stop pandering to the squeamishness of today's audiences? And what is the deal with that dried apricot anyway? But having said that, this is a film you must watch. Get it out on video and watch it three times a day for a week. I did, and there's nothing wrong with me! After that, try watching it on tv. The tv version is HILARIOUS! They replace all the swearing with "freak". So one of Frank's lines comes out as: "YOU FREAK! YOU FREAKIN' FREAK! YOU WANNA FREAK? FRANKY LIKES TO FREAK! YOU GET A LOVE LETTER FROM FRANKY AND YOU'RE FREAKED!" Watch it with your whole family, maybe at Christmas time so that you don't have to watch "Ben Hur", AGAIN!
