The Octagon (1980)
Oh well...
It was one of those nights. I had slept till about...late that day, and thus, my brain was functioning at a very high level, higher than the average 2 in the morning brain at least. I turn to the television for comfort, as i usually do when my friends have all left me, and I'm alone and sad. Amazed I find there's nothing worth watching as I flip through the 4 non-cable-TV channels in my room. The sadness and grudge towards my friends fades away as the opening scenes of The Octagon jump in my face. At this point, I'm wide awake and thrilled. "At least it's good for a few laughs".
And it was. The plot is fascinating:
Chuck's character was adopted by some Ninja master, and a rivalry is born between Chuck and his new fathers son, Seikura. When Seikura cheats in a race between the two, and thus dishonors the whole family, he is vanished by his father.
We meet Chuck's character Scott James, some sort of mercenary. Seikura is now training terrorists in some camp in South-America. And so the plot thickens.
As the end draws near I am vast asleep. The Octagon has served its purpose and dozed me into dreamland. Never mind the sandman. As long as Chuck's around, there's no need to fear insomnia!
Last Man Standing (1996)
cool!
Cool movie. Bruce Willis really gets beaten in this movie, and Christopher Walken is evil as always. Dead Man Walking is Fist-Full of Dollars set in another time, nothing more, but i think they pulled it off fairly well. Taking old western films and moving the plot to a different time, seems to work out allright.
Bruce Willis really came through as the hard-as-a-rock kind of guy he's portrayed so many times, he gets beaten to a pulp and still he comes out on the winning end.
Dead Man Walking doesn't leave you with a mind-blowing movie memory, but it's a cool film to watch. Especially if you like blood, guns and snappy comments.
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Scary!
After seeing this movie i wanted to throw away my cigarettes, stop drinking alcohol and the slim chance of me ever trying drugs flew out the window! It scared the hell out of me!
Jared Leto, Marlon Wayans and Jennifer Connely are all great in this movie. Their interpretations of drug addiction were excellent! Ellen Burstyn, however, as Leto's mother Sara, was absolutely brilliant in her part! As much as heroin and hard drugs scare me, this frantic woman on amphetamin diet pills was worse than any hard junkie alive!
This woman's tragic fate should be a wake-up call for sleezy gameshow, TV assh***s who exploit this kind of people every chance they get! Seeing this poor woman throw her self into drug abuse to fit into an old dress because she's going to be on TV is heartbreaking!
It starts off kind of funny. With the old woman walking about, happy as hell, she's high and shes going to be a celebrity. As the movie goes on the situation moves out of the sphere of fun and continues towards the path of tragedy. And when the Fridge sends her out on the streets you know there's no hope left!
Leto's arm, all infected from the heavy drug abuse and dirty needles is probably the most discusting thing i've ever seen in a movie. You can practically smell that sh*t right through the screen.
When Marion comes home after "performing" for the horny old men, removing what respect she had left for herself, she lies down on the coach with a bag of heroin, smiling. She loves her drugs that much.
All these things combined with the excellent work of the director make this movie a classic, not easily forgotten!
Denis Leary: No Cure for Cancer (1993)
Insane!
Denis Leary proves his insanity in this show. When he goes ballistic while talking about the French, it's like he needs professional help. He is one of the most talented comedy acts alive (a good heir to the Bill Hicks throne) and he has a way of communicating that is different from any other. When Denis jumps into the story about his brother and the Bow and Arrow set, i almost fell out of my seat, and that stone-cold father of his...unbelievably funny.
See this show. It's incredible!
The Crow (1994)
Amazing....
This movie is one classic that every person in the world should see. Until you've seen this movie you don't know what mood is. The dark and depressing mood of this flick, combined with the cinematography is classical.
Brandon Lee's last performance was better than in say, Rapid Fire, and we remember him now as the man who portrayed Eric Draven the only way he could have been. The crow has yet to bring back an undead such as Brandon Lee's Eric Draven.
One of the great things about this movie is that Draven has absolutely NO sympathy for those that killed him and his bride to be. In many movies the hero gets soft at the last minute and hands the villain over to the cops. The Crow shows no sign of weakness instead he systematically erases those who have done him wrong!
A big roud of applause for Alex Proyas The Crow and Brandon Lee may he rest in peace...
Deadly Prey (1987)
Hmmm, well...
Some friends of mine gave me this movie and said:" You have to see this movie! It's the worst movie ever made, bar none." I must say i agree. It was quite humorous at times, though, and i kind of enjoyed laughing my ass off. The hero, Ted Prior actually cuts a mans arm of and beats him with it!!! Unbelievable? Believe it!
These people have managed to put every cliche available into this movie. On the cover it reads: "He was the best in Vietnam...and he still is!"
Watch this movie, laugh your ass off and go about your day as though nothing has happened,because...nothing has!
Hage Wars (1998)
Astounding!
Hage Wars brings out feelings from within you that you never knew you had! Hails to all those who made this movie possible. I do not doubt for a second that we will see more of these people in the future.
The Matrix (1999)
Great movie!!
The Matrix provides a great thrill for whoever watches it, but it is also a wake up call to all the arrogant human beings in the world. The inevitable creation of AI is going to be the ruin of us all, and after all, why not? Isn't time to take another step in evolution? To push human kind down the food chain? The Matrix gives a worst case scenario of the future and gives us a message as well as entertaining the hell out of us all!!
