Spielberg, Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter are great! And dont forget John Goodman also. This is my 2nd favorite Spielberg movie. (ET #1). I’m a pilot so naturally I like the airplanes and flying scenes. The smoke jumpers are cool too! Thanks to my Sister for pointing me to this movie.

I have rented this many times and will again.

The Manchurian Canidate

October 15, 2006 · Posted in Movie Reviews, Video · Comment

In this remake of the 1962 political thriller, Capt. Bennett Marco (Denzel Washington) and Sgt. Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber) are taken captive during the first Persian Gulf War and brainwashed so that they’re programmed to rebel once they return home. Ten years later, as Shaw’s mother (Meryl Streep) is busy helping her son in his bid for the presidency, Marco recalls the brainwashing. Can he get to Shaw before it’s too late?

This is a real good “what if?” movie. Of course, it is a must because of Denzel. Exellent as always!

War Of The Worlds

Not Bad. Good action and a different twist on the original 50s plot but kept some of the same scenes. I was surprised with the “Blue Collar” character that Tom Cruise plays. And He played it well.

I will rent it again

A Bridge Too Far

February 5, 2006 · Posted in Movie Reviews, Video · Comment

Pretty good war movie. If you like actors, Sean Connery, Robert Redford, James Caan, Anthony Hopkins and Laurence Olivier, rent this. This movie has some of the biggest battle sequences ever filmed. The plot details a pivotal day during World War II, when an Allied task force tried — and failed — to win the war by seizing key Belgian bridges.

It is a bit long at 3 hrs, and I had to go into another room to watch it. (wife doesnt like war flicks)

Runaway Jury

A very, very good flick. If you like John Grisham novels, you need to watch this! The plot twists and story line take you in different directions. I was entertained and glued to the screen the whole 122 minutes.

Its focus is on gun control. Aside from my opinion (or anyone’s), John Cusac, Gene Hackman, and Dustin Hoffman are good mixes of actors.

The Netflix ratings are all over the place on this one, but I rate it 5 stars!

The Guess Who

December 2, 2005 · Posted in Movie Reviews, Video · Comment

I dont watch many movies of bands playing in concert, Especially OLD guys. This one is an exception. I rented this a while back and thought I would rate it anyway.

What an awesome show. They did some Guess Who and BTO tunes(written by Randy Bachman of course). The neat thing about to show was the THUNDERSTORM going on at the same time and the WONDERFUL natural special effect it provided. Made me go “WOW! That was so cool!”
