MIX MANIA
howdy country-boys'n girls!...
this time we have again a variety of
choices.... for everyone there's some-
thing!... and if there's something you
want to see in here then get off your
lazy ass and take pen and paper or load
one of those (aussie?) notewriters and
begin typing/writing!....
this time we begin with only 1 review
of a film....
ROBIN HOOD : PRINCE OF THIEVES
(with kevin kostner,sean connery,
ernest bourigine,....)
this is a good remake of the old version
... but has lost some of its charm!...
still the makers have chosen for a NON-
NAKED SCENE... no running naked woman
in here!... but we have to picture this
in the middle ages!....
the film has a quite amazing begin and
a not so amazing end, although the end
sequence is so mighty exaggerated it
becomes almost a COMEDIAN! and it is as
the film contains some little funny
things and does help you coming through
the time!... this film takes over 2
hours and is NO real waste of time!....
i think it's not worth to get off your
lazy ass and go and see him in the
CINEMA but it wouldn't be a waste of
money to rent him!...
this film has a bit of everything
(action,adventure,romance,....) but so
had the 1ST version. so this movie is
no real SMASHER, but a normal film!...
RATING: 70/100
* NAKED GUN 2+1/2
well, this time we meet lt.frank drebin
again... he gets involved with a lot of
intrigues,corrupt state-officials,
falling 1st ladies,e.o. bullshit.
this film is full of action abit of
sex (with priscilla presley) and a whole
lotta humour!... the main clue is that
some gangsters kid(?)nap dr.meinheim
whose an energy-specialist.
this film has ofcourse no real DEEP
story as it's a 100 procent laugh-gas
film!... it contains quite a lot of
classic jokes but filmed and played
quite good by leslie nielsen (frank)
,e.o....
my opinion about this film is:
or you like the film a lot or you hate
it and think it's too simple!...
a lot of persons i talked too think
the first movie (naked gun 1) was
better ... others haven't seen NUMBER
1 (i'm one of them) and think this
film is one hell of a good comic!...
others say it's useless!...
RATING: 95/100
* CHOICE OF LOVE
this film is about the story of a guy
who has cancer. he searches a young,
attractive girl with nurse experience!
(julia roberts). julia roberts needs
money and goes up to his house (estate).
she gets hired and after a while she
falls in love with him... etc...
this film is a definate 'CRY' film and
if you have a girlfriend who really
impersonates herself with the characters
then you'll need more then 1 hanker-
chiefs... this is a movie with good
performances from the actors aswell
as the actrices. a movie with a strong
and sentimental story!... a real
romantic film and a real good one in
its class!...
RATING: 80/100
* now some oldies....
DARKMAN
-------
this movie is about a scientist who
wants to invent skin-tissue...
he gets up to the point when the skin-
tissue is only able to stay on the
body when it's used in the dark. at
this point his girl gets involved in
a corrupt thing at her work! she has
a memo of some kind of secret project.
she reveals to the corrupt guy that
she hasn't got it with her and there-
for the guy sents r.durant (a gangster)
up to her boyfriends' lab. durant
kills his assistent and almost kills
her boyfriend as his lab is blown up.
they all think he's dead but he ain't
and he returns to his lab in which he
makes some masks to revenge himself!
...
this movie is quite good but NOT
OUTSTANDING.... it contains some great
shoot scenes and some other interesting
things...
this is a film you can miss but it's
good pass-time...
RATING: 60/100
* KICKBOXER II
this is the sequel of a very good first
film with j.c.van damme (a BELGIAN).
this time another guy (in the film he
plays the brother of kurt sloan (j.c.
van damme)). he teaches kickboxing in
a gym and when his best pupil leaves
him the story starts... he gets in-
volved with several things and leads
him to the murderer of his brother....
eventually good wins above the bad ones.
...
this is a modern 'GOOD VS BAD' story!
this film is not so good as the first
one as it contains less good hard
action scenes. also the actors are not
so well-built. also a good pass-time
and again one you can miss!
RATING: 50/100
* ROCKY V
the final chapter... this time rocky
looses all his money after his battle
with drago (russian in rocky iv)....
he returns to his old neighbourhood...
he also meets a guy who wants to go and
learn the trade and wants rocky as a
trainer!... this guy becomes more im-
portant for rocky then his son and
it tears him apart when he sees that
tommy 'THE MACHINE' gunn. (his pupil)
gets taken away but duke (a black sport-
promotor...a very rich corrupt guy!)
... t.gunn becomes champion of the world
and as dukes' intention has always been
to get rocky into the ring again he
demands tommy to annoy rocky... so tommy
does this and he challenges him to a
fight...
this is again a good and bad story and
ofcourse this time it's the good ones
who win it all (THE WINNERS TAKES IT ALL
)....
good for all of us that this is the last
rocky as this is certainly the badest
one!... rocky iv was MUCH better!
this one you can surely miss but for
all rocky fans it's a good end to end
an era....
RATING: 40/100
* BACKDRAFT
this movie is about a fire department
somewhere in america... a little kid
can come with his dad (kurt russell)
to a fire. it's an easy one they say
and that's why he can come with....
he goes with and when they think the
fire is down a gas explosion follows
and the little kids'dad dies!...
20 years later that little kid joins
his brother (also kurt russell) in that
same department!... also axe (an old
mate of their dad) is in that dep. then
the real story begins and the killing
starts. the rest you gotta see for
yourself...
this film has a very good story and
is filmed the same. backdraft is surely
the best film being released lately.
i haven't told you much about the movie
as that would spoil the film too much!
the film contains comic scenes,horror
scenes,thriller scenes.... a great
movie!...
RATING: 95/100
now some oldies coming up...
* K9 ARACHNOPHOBIA
GHOSTBUSTERS 2
SEA OF LOVE
DELTA FORCE 2
k9... this film is about a crazy cop
who is a bit like sledgehammer... he
doesn't like partners but has to work
together with a dog... he finds a
similar dog (jerry lee). this dog helps
him to bust a drugdealer!...
the story isn't so special as it's a
comic but quite a good one!... it
contains some good scenes and the film
is a good tip for a rent-off!...
this film will make you laugh coz it
is from time to time very funny!...
it's perhaps not a top 10 film but
surely one to see!....
RATING: 65/100
ghostbuster 2... they're back and
stronger then ever!.... the film starts
with a mother (the ex-girlfriend of
peter venkman) who goes walking with
her little baby... the baby with the
carrier begins to role and when the
mother runs after it,it goes faster
and faster until it stops before almost
being ran down by a truck!... then she
asks her friends (the ghostbusters)
to help her out and find what the
cause is!... the cause will be found
right in the museum where she's
working!... the story ends happily.
this film is NOT as good as the 1st
and surely one to miss as only a few
scenes are worth to see!...
ofcourse a spooky one but it surely
failed as a comical film.
RATING: 40/100
sea of love... 2 murders are commited!
2 murders which are similar to each
other!... that's why 2 policmen work
together to solve this case!...
the real film begins when the 2 police-
men come after the fact that it's all
caused by some adverts from guys who
are searching for a girl and who use
a little rime to attract them. the 2
policemen are convinced it's a girl
and they do the same!...
the film is quite good made as it
contains everything a good police/
action film takes but only the action
is missing a bit... you could say it's
a modern thriller/police movie!...
it has a nice clue but after all it's
not a brilliant film!...
still it's worth to see..(even when it
is only for the girl...haha)(yes, i
know i'm a sexist).
RATING: 60/100
delta force 2...
the story continues!... 2 army guys
have to find some federal agents who
are held hostage in san carlos... the
country of a drugbaron... they have
to fight against some hard winds but
ofcourse some survive!... the hero
(chuckie norris) wins the battle!..
a damned shit movie if you compare
it with the first!... it contains
some (not so much) action scenes and
again this is a HOLLYWOOD FLOP...
RATING: 30/100
arachnophobia... the name tells it all!
this movie is about spiders!... it
all begins with an expedition in south
america... the photographer dies as
a result of a spider-bite!... but the
other expedition members don't know
that... and they also don't know that
a spider is being transported back to
home base (usa)....
the corps is sucked empty and the
spider climbs out of the coffin...
the spider runs down a barn. the
spider multiplies and becomes a cocoon.
the spiders begin to kill...
it's a thrilling story as spiders are
mostly NOT WANTED by the people...
the film itself contains some bizarre
moments and altough they said it's
a funny movie... i can say it's not
so funny... but it's a good film and
one to see!... it's worth to hire.
RATING: 70/100
well, as i'm no real FILM EXPERT i
will now let the master of vhs swapping
GRAPPLE/WOW take the keys to guide you
through some REAL new releases!...
be prepared because he's deadly.....
* TERMINATOR II (by einstein)
the story begins with a view of a battle
field in the year 2048. space machines
are flying through the dark sky and
ground-troops namely t1000 are killing
the humans!...
sarah connor (linda hamilton) explains
her story!... and then the real story
begins with the coming of 2 terminators!
1 good one (the old model: arnold
schwarzenegger = terminator 1) whose
the protector of john connor and 1
bad guy (the t1000)... ofcourse this
is a classical confrontation the good
and the bad or was it the beauty and
the beast?... anyhow, the result is
a clash of fights,explosions,gunfights,.
... really EXTRA-ORIDINAIRY....
this film is said to be one of the most
expensive ones and god i believe it as
trucks, buildings, cars, helis,....etc.
explode frequently!...
this film is one NOT to miss!.. a really
smasher!... anyhow, it's full of action
NO romance but hardcore action and
perhaps a sad end!... which makes it
almost impossible for a THIRD terninator
... so i guess this was the FINAL SEQUEL
...
RATING: 95/100
