In Westerns, Clint Eastwood is a true player, though I think he must have had his toungue in cheek a lot. I love the metaphysical hints in the plot, the flirting with biblical identity, his version of upholding the honour and "code" of the West as a man-of-the-cloth/gunslinger, both of whom bear the Eastwood Curse of always being attractive to women!
He pushed the envelope in this brazen variation of Shane and although it was made in 1985, I'd say it was really more of a '70s movie in some regards, but that's part of its appeal. Eastwood is a good filmmaker and a tiny bit mischevious. I'm a lover of Westerns, and this one is certainly in my top ten. An enjoyable move that gets better with time and perspective.

Two Alex Cross movies in one tidy budget package. These films are never really going to feature much in Top 100 films of all time lists, but they are both very entertaining adaptations of James Patterson's stupendously popular series of books. If you enjoyed the first, you'll enjoy the second, and the twists and turns of the plots keep them going at a frenetic pace, which in this kind of movie, is exactly what is required. Morgan Freeman is always worth a watch in whatever he does and whilst these films never quite reach the level of gravitas of something like "Se7en", they are, of themselves, very enjoyable.

Law & Order, to quote Chris Noth as Detective Mike Logan, "really
frosts my cookies". I'm not actually sure what that means, but it sounds good.
This is the first series of Dick Wolf's seminal cops 'n' lawyers show, now on
it's umpteenth series. L&O has never and will never jump the shark, as long
as the writing is so damn good. A constant changing of the cast places the
emphasis most definitely on stories, not stars, although that's not
to say the acting isn't consistently brilliant as well.

In Series One the cops are cocky, handsome Logan, who has a
penchant for wearing terrible tartan ties, and weary, middle-aged,
doughnut-munching Sergeant Max Greevey (George Dzundza),
plus sarcastic ... Read More:

After reading along came a spider I though I'd invest in the film. Not one of my best buys. Although the film itself is good, this is nothing like the book and is therefore a bit of a letdown. Morgan Freeman was a good choice as Alex Cross and he potrays him well. But the film is nothing like the book so it only gets 2 stars from me.

Another fine example of why Law and Order is one of, if not, the best crime program ever made. The final episode bids the sad farewell of ADA Ben Stone who, in my opinion, is one of the best characters who ever appeared in the show. A couple episodes seemed to be a bit dull but there are quite a few that shine out such as 'Breeder'.

Denzel Washington plays an officer in charge of a tank brigade during the war. The unit he commands is involved in a friendly fire accident that kills one of his own men. After the war he tries to take responsibility for his part in the accident, but his superiors won't allow him to.
Also in the movie Denzel Washington's character seems to have developed drinking problems and other family problems due to his guilt. Whether or not he is actually guilty of anything or not he is consumed by his guilt and states more than once that he just wants to get this investigation right. It is almost as if he feels he can get rid of his guilt by handling this properly.
The character who gets killed is Meg Ryan who doesn't share any screen time with Denzel. Also featured ... Read More:

Troll is the classic 80s movie Starring Noah Hathaway of Neverending Story fame. Not the best acted kids film you'll ever watch, but a decent enough 80s fantasy film.

Troll 2 however has some of THE worst acting I have ever seen (and i'm a huge fan of 80s B movies). There isn't one single actor in this movie that could pass for anything more than an amateur dramatics drop-out. Seriously, the acting is laughable and this is what makes the film good - the fact that it is so bad.

People are starting to lose their heads in New York. Literally. Dectective Shepherd(David Carradine) not has only that to content with but the discovery of a freshly skinned corpse in a bedroom. There are also sightings of a huge creature flying through the sky. Meanwhile, small time career criminal Jimmy Quinn(Michael Moriaery is bullied into being a getaway driver in a diamond heist. When the robbery goes wrong, Quinn flees the scene of the crime, and ends up discovering a half eaten corpse and a huge egg in the roof of the building he's hiding in. What strange creature is terrorising the population of New York and can anybody stop it from killing again?
This is a wonderful film. First of all the title creature looks great, swooping down to attack its victims. Director ... Read More:

I was a little concerned about buying "Law and Order S2" as I wondered if it might've aged poorly, etc, but I needn't have been concerned. Spoilers ahead.

George Dzunda wasn't happy about being away from his family filming in New York, so his character, Det. Greevey, is killed in the opening scene of Season 2 [a very cruel scene for the character, forced to his knees in the rain while his wife watches from the house, then shot], which paves the way for Paul Sorvino's entrance as Det. Cerreta, new partner to Mike Logan.

They guys have an excellent and enviable rapport and seem to genuinely like one another, it's a reminder how stiff and somewhat stale the show has become of late, there are little moments of brevity and friendship between the two cops of a kind ... Read More:

This looks like a dream to me- putting Nicholson and Randy Quaid togther in a movie written by Robert Towne and directed by the great Hal AShby. I was disappointed. It doesn't really seem to add anything especially significant to either Ashby's or Nicholson's careers. Nicholson is basically himself, the humour isn't particularly in the same vein as Harold and Maude.

But enough of the negative stuff. This movie is funny, and the best part about its humour is that it doesn't seem to fall into any particular vein of comedy like "dark humour" or "slapstick" or the like, but more of just a straightforward silliness that's willing to go right where it needs to for a laugh.

It's about 3 Navymen, one who is a thief and is being sent to jail for stealing £40 from ... Read More:
