Gangland (2001)
perfect plot, bad movie
spoilers....to me the plot sounded perfect and so interesting: a nuclear war went down and most of the population is gone and now there's a disease being spread as a result of the war. a doctor figures out a cure but there's another problem, since the lack of population, there's been an increasing amount of gangs terrorizing and killing for no reason. the gangs got big enough where the cops don't even have a chance. the gangs kidnapped the doctor, and 2 lucky people got away from the gangs while their siblings weren't lucky. they now decide to try and stop the gang on their own. very interesting plot but once the movie got past the one good scene, (the first 2 minutes which was ice-t and coolio it looked interesting until they killed them) it turned into one incomplete mess after another first the fight scenes got too long, they had characters that was in one scene but then they seemed to forget about them completely, example the two asian ladies, the sisters whatever happenned to them they never showed us they never seemed to kill the bad guy anytime they fought they would knock them down and run they would fight the same guy like 3 or 4 times it was a ridiculous movie they should remake it into a better film they never even told us what happenned to the doctor i mean come on
Judgment Day (1999)
now this movie was great
spoilers....now this was a great movie. forget armageddon and deep impact and those other crappy movies. you got a meteorite coming to earth, bigger than the one in armageddon i'll add, and there's only one way to destroy it, a special nuclear weapon made by a scientist. this scientist is the only one with the password to unlock it but there's a religious fanatic (mario van peebles) who feels it's god's will for the meteorite to destroy us all and he kidnaps the scientist, also shows tiny lister junior in a great role as the guard. you got this one female cop who's the best in the field and he gets a former criminal who she arrested out of jail for help to find the fanatic and than get the scientist to save the planet. i won't ruin it by telling the ending but this was such a good movie. the only thing that actually seemed out of place is the fact that the scientist is the only one who created such a powerful weapon and the only one with the key, he's such an important man yet he's just a college professor. but hey it'z all in good fun it's only one minor detail the movie was awesome
'R Xmas (2001)
not bad at all
possible spoiler.... i thought this was a great movie and i wasn't surprised that this was a true story. it's about a family who are drug dealers at night but during the day they seem to be normal loving parents. the plot is somewhat thin but that don't really matter in this movie, it just tends to be boring at one point or another. a few people kidnap the father and the wife go frantic but she especially is very surprised when she findz out who the kidnappers are. so was i, i never expected them to be that kind of people. it's a twist. :)
Luck of the Draw (2000)
what a movie....
ending spoiler....this was such a good movie at time it got a little bit slow but then you would get right back into it and it was great. the plot was somewhat thin but it didn't really matter in this movie everyone was corrupt and after this one guy who accidently came across stolen money plates. it has a great cast, especially ice-t, dennis hopper and michael madson among a lot of other people and it was crazy how everyone wound up crossing one another. basically it was like 6 different "groups" ran across one another and at the end, i was cracking up and blown away it was great everyone got into a whole big shootout and only one guy was left but then he suddenly realized the money wasn't there in the first place he got ripped off by his girlfriend!!! what a movie :)
Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang (1999)
really weird, but interesting
spoilers.... this is a kid's movie but i never would have suspected. i'm 18 years old and i watched this from beginning to end and at first i thought it was rated r until i realized it was a kid's movie. the movie is not your average kid's movie you have a kid who is "wrongfully accused" for tomatoes and is treated very cruelly (with nasty attitudes i mean, all the adults seem very nasty and the kids seem very innocent....it's hilarious when you see how some of the adults act) and he shows up to court he has an hilarious yet horrible lawyer who is basically giving him up to the judge which is Ice-T. it's hilarious enough just to see ice-t, the last person you'd expect to see in a kid's movie, as a judge, he raps about how the kid was so wrong and is to be sent to the worst prison on earth. once he shows up in prison gary busey is hilarious as this wannabe superhero bad guy who "has no friends" and treats all the children like garbage. you have the 2 power ranger wannabes who try to rescue him and the others and just the way the whole movie is put together it's great and hilarious, even for an adult with a sense of humor. not for the very young or very sqeemish though.
Perdita Durango (1997)
this is one of my favorites
spoilers.... this is one of my favorite movies of all time, this blew me away completely. you have perdita which is a hardcore yet somewhat sensitive girl and her lover romeo which is another hardcore yet somewhat sensitive person. he's also into religious rituals where he kidnaps a person and slaughters them in front of a crowd for religious properity. they kidnap 2 teenagers among a cinco de mayo crowd and romeo and perdita seem to have a calmness among their desire to kill them. there are a few twists also, for example romeo's cousin recomends him to a mob boss and the mob boss consults romeo about a job he has no choice but to accept or he'll get killed problem is, a cop, james gandolfini which seems to be taking the hunt personally not only interrupted the slaughter ritual by romeo and perdita forcing them to be on the run along with the annoying yet later on somewhat respect teenagers (there are quarrels between romeo and perdita because both of them "raped" the kid and now are jealous of each other) but gandolfini also interfered with the mob boss' plan for romeo to bring a truck full of aborted fetuses to a makeup factory in las vegas and now romeo is on the run from the mob boss later on he still brings the truck to his cousin at the factory but he knows he's gonna die because his cousin is being forced to shoot him but romeo still goes because he is an honorable man. this was just such a good movie and i recomend this to anyone as long as they're not squeemish. oh i forgot the daughter's father was on the pay phone talkin to the mother and all of a sudden he sees the kidz he runs towards them only to be hit by a car and die.....genius!!! i won't tell you what happenned to the kids watch it to find out :)
