48 Hrs. (1982)
Refreshing
The two main characters in this movie, reggie hammond and jack cates, are caricatures of the stereotypes present in modern/industrial society. When the movie began I thought I would not like it because the characters were so stereotypical, but director Walter Hill did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life as real people. This movie is not interested in being politically correct. In the beginning Murphy is a pussy hunting, lazy convict and Nolte is a cornbred, cracker police officer. By the end of the movie we see that the two characters have become good friends and are not so different(spoiler: Nolte is a pretty dirty cop that fakes signatures, beats prisoners and drinks).
The direction is good and the story is very simple. The great action sequences and the chemistry between nolte and murphy make this a classic.
Spoilers My favorite parts were when Nolte stuck up for Murphy despite the criticisms and slurs the police captain was directing at Murphy and the part when Murphy and Nolte were separated and Murphy could have bolted and left Nolte to get in trouble but he called the station and gave nolte a hint to where he was located. I liked the part when Nolte gave Murphy time to get laid.
9/10
Suddenly Susan (1996)
Garbage
I just saw an episode of this show and I am appalled. I don't even want to mention the plot of the episode because it was so terrible. How could anyone watch such garbage? I sincerely hope this show wasn't popular though it was on for four years. Could this have actually had an effect on people?!
