Chain Reaction (1996)

A very enjoyable 90s flick in the same vein as The Fugitive....

[7/10 · 6 October 2012]

Simply put, one of my favorite movies of the 90s, because I'm a big fan of the Fugitive. This plot follows it adds a bit of a new age spin on it. Enjoyable flick with very good actors and a cast that features Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, Fred Ward, Brian Cox, Rachel Weisz and many others, highly recommended if you're a fan of the Fugitive or U.S. Marshalls!

The story is about a chemist & his friend suspected of murdering their mentor and Reeves & Weisz receive help from a friend of their fallen colleague and they try and find out who is trying to frame them for murder. Much like The Fugitive, which ironically is done by most of the same crew and features some of the actors from that film, it's a great flick to pass the time on.

Tomb Raider (1996 Video Game)

One of the greatest video game debuts of all time!!

[10/10 · 15 May 2011]

For me, this is one of the great video games of all time. So many twists and turns, great villains and great characters, great scenery, great puzzles. To me, without a shadow of doubt, this game is a classic. You will not be disappointed.

Brilliant archagelogist and adventurer, Lara Croft is offered a chance of a lifetime to locate The Scion, an mysterious artifact said to have magical powers. So you play Lara and go through many hard puzzles, mercenaries who also want the artifact. Lara has weapons of her own, dual pistols, dual uzis, magnums and a shotgun. The music is spectacular and it really adds to the game. Sure there has been new Tomb Raider games by a different developer but they are very different in comparison, this game doesn't need to have the greatest graphics, it's plot and storyline along with the gameplay and cast of characters are enough to hold you over. It doesn't even matter if it's dated now, I still play it from time to time.

One of the greatest video games in gaming history for sure 10/10

Crash (I) (2004)

Incredible and Remarkable

[8/10 · 6 June 2006]

Brilliant dramatic masterpiece by director Paul Haggis.

Crash stars Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Terence Howard, Larenz Tate, Matt Dillon, Ryan Phillipe, Thandie Newton, Chris "Ludicrous" Bridges and Brendan Fraser. Stunning performances by Don Cheadle and Matt Dillon, and that's just some. This film is seriously sad, so many sad moments and is very comparable to Traffic, the only difference is this topic is about Racism, not just to African-Americans, but to Oriental people and White people and all colors. If you see a man on the street and he has needles coming out of his beard and he has blonde cornrows. and he walks up to you and he's a doctor and soft-spoken guy, then you judged him wrong and that's what Crash is all about. Never judge someone simply by looking at them. You don't see a movie half the time you're watching this movie. It's very believable.

Actually, the entire cast was believable. Great cameos by Keith David, Tony Danza, and Daniel Dae Kim. This is one of those movies that you can't get enough of, this music is very sad for it's moments. The music is awesome. "In the deep" and "Crash" are the best. Bird York's(who also has a cameo)her voice is perfect in "In the Deep." Kansascali, demonstrates perfectly what the movie is about. Watch the video to see what I mean.

The movie about four story lines Don Cheadle as Det. Graham Waters(and his relationship with his girlfriend/partner and his family), Brendan Fraser as Rick Cabot and his wife Jean(and her racist actions), Matt Dillon as the racist Officer John Ryan and Ryan Phillipe as her rookie partner, Officer Hanson,(how Hanson thinks of his partner). Terence Howard as Cameron, the TV producer and his wife, Christine played by Thandie Newton.(their marriage after Farhad and his daughter, Dorri(a young Persian woman and her short-tempered father), Larenz Tate as Peter and rapper Ludicrous as Anthony (Peter & Anthony's look on life and their actions). Michael Pena as Daniel, the locksmith and his daughter(everyone seems to pre-judge him.) In my opinion, all the story lines were awesome and simply powerful as hell. Definitely worth a look.

You must pay attention, though to actually understand it. So, if you going to watch it, no kids in the room, turn off your pager or your cell phone and sit and prepare to be left in awe. Spectacular film, destined to become a classic.

Inside Man (2006)

Good, but couldn't get into it!

[6/10 · 3 April 2006]

Maybe I was expecting too much. But of course Denzel was great, as was Clive Owen. Great cast, but just didn't grab me like i thought it would. It was very confusing somewhat, determining just who were the so called bad guys, and who were the good guys. I will agree it was a good movie.....just not great. To me the movie dragged, I was hoping more would happened, and when the ending came, I was dumbfounded. Some parts I agree were cool, the acting was great, but not powerful. Some people compared it to "Dog Day Afternoon", I disagree. I know others will think to themselves, What movie was I watching?, but this is how i felt. Maybe if I watch it again, I will feel differently. But truly it did fall short of my expectations.
