Troy (2004)
Where was Diomedes?
He was the strongest of warriors, yet, he doesn't appear in the movie. Maybe he will be in The Odyssey? Just curious. In Virgil's Aeneid the first warrior who entered the Trojan Horse shortly before the sack of Troy. He was supposed to be the strongest of them all. Favored by Athena you'd think he'd be in some scene. I did the research and he was around during the battles according to stories, and he settled lands south of the Trojan War later in his life. In the Iliad Diomedes and Nestor are often read speaking in war strategy meetings. Who would play him and would he fit in the Odyssey on screen well? Just to point that out, I mean why not include some for the boasting of more boring others?
Double Whammy (2001)
I have a bad back and love humor, I can relate!!!
This movie was on our cable on demand and I never seen it , so I thought I'd check it out. I have a bad back and I can relate to this character Detective Pluto. When your back is out no one knows the pain and difficulty but yourself. Additionally, it always seems other people less cooler than yourself are getting ahead while your in pain. It's a funny movie and I like Denis Leary's style in it. We need more people like this guy, as the world sadly turns to wussies. I like the plot, they made the two thieves kind of ruthless though and I don't see them being as ruthlessly portrayed unless some drug use was indicated in the film (none were). Anyway enjoy the laughs.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
If you work for NASA or are dating a Meteorologist, you may like this!!
This movie is a science and evolutionist type movie. I have respect for science, but they are, and have been very wrong about many things, thus this comment/review. There theories tease us a bit as being true in this movie, and like most theories highly unlikely. If this was to happen you know the man upstairs is letting it happen. This movie also makes people living in high disaster relief areas look smart, and the people toughing out the cold like they do up north here, look punished! This movie gives us appreciation the next time we see palm trees or just a few inches of snow though for sure! I didn't like the end where they showed survivors scattered about building roofs like specks of cavemen huddling around a campfire. I totally don't believe that caveman stuff one bit. A Scientist's treat, a bible believer's pipe dream. A Twister with no childhood irony.
Bullet (1996)
One of my favorite movies!!
This movie rocks. It is a Jewish version of Rumble Fish. Brooklyn style, people,and characters. I highly advise seeing this movie. It totally shows there is good and bad in all races. Although not a racial film, it can be seen as such in some parts, but that's what it's like in some situations. If you will it, it can be. Not sure if this one of Tupac Shakur's last films, I believe Gang Related was one of them, but he proves he can act, as well as be a gifted poet in this movie. If he was still alive he'd be in a top box office hit right now. I Haven't seen Mickey Rourke in anything lately, but I felt his family members and the supporting actors in this came through beside him and he didn't look like he was in a B movie.
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
A Movie That Is Extremely Sad Yet Faith-Building at the Sametime!
Everyone reacts differently to sad,dramatic, and touching movies. This one was no exception. I must say if you didn't feel like crying, or did cry even during this though, you are pretty tough. This movie seemed to get sadder as Yeshua gets closer to doing what no magician or famous world leader has ever done or ever will. No Other G-d prayed to around the world can pull of that, you just have to believe, and it seems, the film based on his crucifixion left little of his resurrection to be told. I was hoping the film would show a little bit more than him just rising in a split second after his death, and maybe walk around and talk to some of the 500 people who seen him, after he rose, but it didn't. This movie was great from beginning to end, and like all things when you are sad you hopefully try looking for things to keep from crying , like the stepping on the snake and triumphant quotes and bits, but they are seldom seen or heard in this movie. Good movie, though it still , like most belief systems, is focusing on the wrong parts of Yeshua's purpose, and forgetting that he is alive now! He's no longer getting whipped, because he whipped them all! Thanks.
Mortal Passions (1989)
A Young-Adult Middle Class and clashful Love triangle.
First off, the Plot Outline about this movie is totally wrong. It's nothing to do with evil mutants killing college students.
This movie is a look into the past (skeletons in the closet) arising slowly out of a trouble-some woman ; in a marriage who don't know what she wants. Her husband, played by Zach G., of 'Gremlins' fame, is a meek,quiet brother of his oldest brother : a more street wise man, returning in his life after a few years. With his return, he must encounter his younger brothers wife, once his close lady. The rest you must see. I thought it was a fairly good flick. Something you'd see once or twice with your girl eating popcorn and rubbing each others cold feet in front of a wall-based flat screen , pixel- happy television set. Got it?LOL!
