The Ring (2002)

Not bad...

[6 November 2002]

I just saw this movie about 2 hrs. ago, in the ever so unique George Lucas Surround Theatre. I have to say that this movie was creepy. Even though it brought out the "The Sixth Sense" feeling, I enjoyed the cinematography it offered, and score as well. Some parts scared the h*** out of me, with the weird screeching sounds. Without that, it wouldn't have been as creepy as it is. Go see it, just for the fun of it, not expecting a teen slasher flick. I believe we've had enough of those, huh?

Lethal Weapon (1987)

One of the greatest cop movies of all time!

[15 November 1999]

I've seen Lethal Weapon over 100 times and it just keeps getting better! Mel Gibson plays a crazed cop who teams up with a family cop (Danny Glover). At first, they can't stand each other, but as the movie rolls along, they end up with this type of bond. I'm sure that most people or everyone has seen this wonderful movie. It has plenty of action and violence. I love the chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. And who could forget, Gary Busey, Mr. Joshua, a VERY fitting role for the wonderful actor. He couldn't have been replaced for that role. No one could have done a better job than Busey. Go Gary! I love the end! One of the best fitting scenes in film history. I also admire Gibson and Busey doing their own stunts, and studying martial arts, just to make 4 nights of filming a cult fighting scene for this excellent movie. This one is definitely a winner! If you haven't seen this superb film, then I STRONGLY recommend that you do! Great film!

Didn't You Hear? (1970)

A college geek daydreams about owning a ship with his friends...

[8 November 1999]

I watched this movie recently, and what can I say? I was impressed with the individualism, laughed at how obsessed James (Gary Busey) was with sex, and tried to understand it at the same time! It was a college film, I'm assuming. Not too bad, though, very imaginative and creative. Very early roles for non-actors, at the time (Dennis Christopher, Gary Busey) Originally shot in 1970. Check it out, if you're lucky enough to know someone who owns this out-of-print movie! It's a pretty wild and crazy ride into the fantasy world! If you're not a movie buff, you probably don't need to waste your time trying to find this movie! Trust me, it's hard-to-find!

Silver Bullet (1985)

I love this movie!

[7/10 · 8 November 1999]

"Stephen King's Silver Bullet" was the first movie that I saw with my favorite actor, Gary Busey. He plays an unforgettable role as Uncle Red, the loving, drunken uncle! The suspense builds up when you try to figure out who the werewolf actually is. I'm not gonna spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen this great movie. Everybody likes to talk bad about this film, even though some parts are ridiculous, the acting keeps this 80's horror flick going on the right track. I would recommend this movie to any Stephen King fan, which Silver Bullet is kind of unique, unlike some of King's other movies. Good special effects by Carlo Rambaldi, (E.T., King Kong, Alien) If you can find this movie, I would suggest that you rent it, and see what I'm talking about!
