Road House (1989)
The truth beneath the film....
This is why this movie is so touching, because there is a heart and a philosophy behind the drama, the action, the comedy.
Especially when Dalton meets Emmett, and kind of get to know each other.
There's simplicity in decency and kindness, that is so rare these days.
Maybe it is corny, but why is being good so wrong?
There's a lot a like, like the concept of being prepared for worse case scenarios.
Be nice, until it's time to Not Be Nice.
And it's that common simple truth, the balance between, those who want to live decently and responsibly and those who want to endlessly take.
Maybe someday this will be common again, to show decency as the normal.
And that too is the pattern of life, what is common and popular becomes less popular over time, until once again it becomes popular again as part of the cycle of life.
I am watching it again, listening to the touching music, as Doc and Dalton make love, to find and open the heart to the truth of their connection and chemistry.
And that is kind of powerful, that it's more about that, as a counter-balance to the endless raunchiness in the bar.
To me, I miss the days of good movies, with original plots, that didn't overdwell on action, blood, violence and sex and drugs.
Jimmy Stewart was that kind of actor in the past, and maybe Patrick Swayze was in his time.
Who knows.
What kind of world do you want to live in?
Think about that!
The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981)
Far superior to the modern remake
This is just a good movie, I'd even say it's a great B-movie.
First off, what really sells me on this movie is the following factors.
1. The Music, I really love the music, just touches me, the power and the mystery of the American west, the natural wonders that is America. Just powerful and touching music.
2. Two Boys Meet, I really like the meeting of the two boys, maybe it was glossed over a bit, still the boys part was one of myth building that this movie does really well.
3. The Older Brother, he just out acts the guy portraying his younger brother, but he does it in such a natural way. This is how a normal guy would do or say, to protect his family, his loved ones.
4. The natural beauty of the American wild west.
5. Christopher Lloyd, I just purely love this classic character actor's work. Even when he's young, he just out acts, out performs as a pure evil, methodical, military style villain. He is outstanding as Butch Cavendish.
6. The Death of the Rangers, feels so real, so powerful, so dusty.
7. The power and truth of the white horse, as a spirit for truth and justice. The silver bullets and the white horse, mediums for delivering truth and justice! Hi Ho Silver, and away! 8. Jason Robards, He looks awesome, as the manly President Ulysses S. Grant, he exudes presidential material.
Even with the real bad moments of acting, plot writing.
There is still so much to treasure, to value.
And let's be honest, Hollywood really sucks at doing remakes, just look at how they poorly remade The Green Hornet.
FYI, are you aware that "The Lone Ranger" (John Reid) is a distant uncle to "The Green Hornet" (Britt Reid)? Even in the The Green Hornet TV Show in the 1960's in Britt Reid's office is a photo of a masked man, "The Lone Ranger".
To me this is a classic of both western myths, but of truth and justice.
White Man's Burden (1995)
Horrible movie
Well I have nothing but the utmost the respect for the actors in this crap movie.
However, trying to make current American citizens guilty for the evil crimes of slavery that occurred over 100+ years ago, is just purely wrong.
John Travolta is a good to fair actor, and there are many other good actors in this movie.
If we truly want to encourage better treatment of each other, the best way is not about endlessly reminding us of the evil's of the past.
But to encourage, promote and reward people for treating people fairly.
This movie concept is horrible, execution is horrible.
There is no remote redeeming value to this movie.
I am very sorry to say that.
Kaizoku sentai Gôkaijâ (2011)
Best TV SuperHero Show Ever
I have watched many many TV shows and movies about superheroes. This is the best one.
1. It allows newcomer's to the Super Sentai series to know a little bit about the history.
2. Each episode or so, gain's a new power for the team from the old historic teams.
3. Great team and individual personalities. Mr. Marvelous, the cocky leader, Joe, the great swordmaster/samurai, Luka, the mistress of thieves, Ahim, princess of nobility, Doc, genius engineer and geek shy guy.
4. The theme music is just feel good, makes you feel happy and optimistic.
I know it's strange because this is a Japanese show, but I still love it. Once you have subtitles, this is an awesome show.
One you want to show to your kids and family, as a clean, fun, friendly alternative to most kid's shows.
Plus while they pretend and act as if they are pirate's, really they are super good guys, that just act tough.
In a funny way, they are a nice version of the Magnificent Seven.
I truly was sad the show has ended, and hope it comes back for more seasons! Go Gokaiger!
Easy A (2010)
Great movie, great John Hughes Montage.
If you like movies that both have great acting, a great plot, a moral message, yet funny as heck. Then you must watch Easy A.
Having recently seen Emma Stone, in Amazing Spiderman, I wanted to see her in another movie.
This movie seem's shallow but has deepness, in terms of dealing with the cost of rumors and gossip, how they can appear useful in the short term, but there is always a painful price to pay.
Emma Stone play's a very giving, original, extremely witty, high scbool girl. Great acting, seem's so natural, as if this was her real self not an act.
She just seem's to be a natural.
But the other's in the cast Aly Michalka, loved her in BandSlam, was awesome too. Playing a different type of character than I've seen her before.
This is a good movie.
And I love the John Hughes Refereces...Very funny and classy.
Great movie!
