The Marine 5: Battleground (2017)
I must be the only one who likes it
Former Marine who now becomes an EMT and uses his combat skills to kick some but and save lives.
Yes I can definitely see that scenario and found this movie totally watchable.
The two paramedics (Jake and his partner) eventually find themselves fighting a biker gang inside a parking garage after getting a distress call from someone inside the garage.
The whole movie basically takes place in that parking garage which pretty much becomes a battle zone pitting soldier against biker gang.
The movie was never dull and had a few unexpected surprises. I thought it was a creative and well thought out movie and the best out of all the Marine films.
The Peacemaker (1997)
Is it over yet?
Theres nothing in this movie that has not been done better in other ones.
The two lead character are so brazen and obnoxious that you start rooting for the Russians.
Mostly everyone in this movie is either yelling or chasing after things for reasons that are not that particularly interesting.
If there is supposed to be any kind of suspense over wether or not the nuke gets detonated it gets lost somewhere in the overblown antics of everyone involved.
At no time can you take the situation or the characters in this film seriously.
And in conclusion there is nothing to conclude so will stop here.
8MM (1999)
Schumachers best movie. Edges out Batman Forever
Solid well done Thriller. The story is tense as more and more is uncovered on the snuff film. Cages detective work in tracking down where the film came from is what makes this totally worth watching. All there is to work with is the film itself and the way he is able to determine its origins and how he peals away parts of the onion until getting to the truth is believable and well done. Phoenix is also great as a struggling musician who ends up taking Cage into the seedy underground of the x rated world to get to the truth of what happened to the girl in the snuff film. The movie has a lot to offer.
Bushwick (2017)
Anarchy on the streets of New York City but they forgot to include people
Ludicrously far fetched anarchy in the USA movie where the audience is asked to believe that there would only be about six people at any one time on the streets of New York City while all this chaos is going on.
The story becomes even more absurd when we find out what is really going on that a couple of states mostly from the south are trying to take over New York City with what looks like a handful of military RV's. No hard artillery mind you just some RV's and AR15 rifles and maybe some grenades.
Yes the movie is low budget but that does not necessarily make it bad. What makes it bad is that the scale of what they were trying to portray just cannot match the resources they had to work with and it shows.
Bicentennial Man (1999)
The 200 year journey of a robot who becomes a man
Like Data from Star Trek the Bicentennial Man is like a naive creature interacting with humans and learning how to live like one. The difference is that bicentennial mans struggle takes us through 200 years of him watching the people he has come to love grow old and die which leads him to make the ultimate decision he does at the end. Throughout the years he removes the the things that by definition do not make him human including his immortality.
