HELLO FOLKS ! the boss of accuracy welcomes you to the movie reviews part of splas h.i hope there are some movie mani acs around there who could enjoy r eading this. first of all,i've to say that,som e it takes somtime for some movies to be shown in turkiye ,so some of the movies i reviwed here may be old for you guys out in western eu rope.anyway,then take them as vide o reviews,eh? okey,for this time you can find t he following movies - bram stoker's dracula - wayne's world(this one quite old - a few good man - the crying game - bodyguard it was me who watched the first th ree up there,and i took the last t wo from NEWSWEEK and simplitied th en a bit.... enjoy ! okey let's go now.... BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA yeah,that's it! that's the kind o f movie that i call "SUPER B" and it's certainly one of my favorite movies ever. the thing that sepetures this one from many other dracula films is i t's loyalty to the original story from "BRAM STOKER" and the amount of romantizm in it. let's talk about the story first: the evil transilvania count dracul a beats the turks in a battle(in t he real history,that's not the way ,hehe) but his wife thinks he's de ad,so she commits to suicide.the c an't gets very angry to the christ ian church and sells his soul to t he devil which makes him a blood s ucking vampire,an eternal creature many yers later,he devides to buy some houses in london. an executive from an estate compan y visits him in his castle in tran silvania.but when the count falls in love with the photograph of his licence he inprisons him and goes to london with some land from his own estate.and then...... well,if you haven't watched this movie yet,catch it either at the c inema or an video! because it's such brilliant one that you keep your lareath from th e beginning to the end.the action and excilement is kept very contin ious while the master director sho wed his great talents both in that and in the scene capturing. aslonishing fude aways,fast close- ups and many other things. but if you're looking for a horro r movie,this ain't the one you're looking for as it's a mixture of a ction and romantizm.and it looks COOOOL ! catch it anywhere. %98 WAYNE'S WORLD wayne and his close friend guth s tart to become quite populer with their weird tv-show named "WAYNE'S WORLD" and a big tv company makes a contact with them but when they see that the company changes their show into shit,they just try to ge t rid if the contact.meanwhile way ne talks in love with a female roc k vocalist who's also funcied by t he snob producer of the tv vocalis t,and so the story goes on..... well,yes the story may look like and yes it is ! but the thing that makes this mov ie so much... outstanding is the munner and spe eches of the characters. also,the movie goes around a rock scene and you can enjoythen as wel l grently!here are some examples f rom speeches : baking powder:i beg your pardon exqueeze me:excuse me babecitian:someone good at yettin g girl god,this movie is damn good ! %94 A FEW GOOD MAN huh,in fact the story is quite co mplicated,but i'll give a try. a recruit gets beaten by two other in u.s navy base in cuba and dies. one of the lawyers of the navy th inks that he was.beaten because of an order from a top officer.the or der is called "CODERED"and this a sort of illegal education for the soldiers that's done by beating et c...of course the officers deny th e order but the lawyer certainly will not give up.... to say the truth,when i went to t he cinema i had to some projeduces as tom cruise was the head actor b ut he wasn't that bad in this one and the whole is movie is certainl y a thriller!go and watch it!!!!! %92 THE CRYING GAME i can't think of another movie th at mixes the tragic,the playful an d the perverse in the way the cryi ng game does. the crying game in fact contain f our movies for price of one,it sta rts as if it were going to be an I RA thriller,takes a turn toward ro mance and by the time it reacher. it's unpredictability bouyont con elusion,pills the rug and the floo r out from under your feet.what's so satisfying about these mind-pop ping manvvers is that they're neve r cheap tricks. the hero is a soft-spoken IRA ter rorist named fergus,who participal es in the kidnapping of a politica l hostage,the black british soldie r ,jordy assigned to guard the man he may have to kill,fergus's inna tely kind nature gets him in troub le with his more fanatical collegu es.a bond developes between prison er and captor that threatens fergu s's political priorities.this part of the story ends in horor and and fergus and is forced to the irelan d for london.there e takes a const ructia job,changes his name and fi nds jody's hairdvesser girlfriend, whom he had promised to lok in it anything happend to the soldier. as this point,the movie turns int o something different,a love affai r a deal deal with the past...watc h the rest at the cinema!! when the movie is over,you play i t back in your mind,seeing everyth ing in a fresh light.if the test o f a good movie is how it makes an avdience feel when the lights come up,"THE CRYING GAME" is a very goo d movie indeed.it leaves one giddy THE BODYGUARD someone is trying to kill pop sta ( rachel marron(whitney houston) pthe man hied to protect her is ex -secret service agent frank farmer (kevin costner),state-of-the-art b odyguard.at first,rachel doesn't k now the extent of the danger she's in.surnounded in her own world,her family and flunkies who keep the t ruth from her. the superstar resents frank's ins trusions on her lifestyle. they bicker.then they sleep toget her.than he pulls away,knowing tha t he can't maintain his street pro fessional standarts if his heart i s involud. the bodyguard is a wildly uneven romantic thriller.costner is the b est thing in it,his wary,cool nift ily balanced by self effacing hamo r.but whitney is not so affective, she has to be more complex at the role as the character is so,but sh e doesn't know how to do that,she' s just good at performing.still,th e bodyguard has it's flashy,shallo w pleasures....... signed: THE BOSS OF ACCURACY
