| | Grandma 2003 03/15/2009 | | Even though it's Not believable, it's still a good movie! My favorite part was when Cpt. Hiller, played by Will Smith, punched the alien in the face and welcomed him to Earth! Then, there was the part when David finally figured out that the best way to get rid of them was to give them a "cold"! A virus, of all things!!!! Great stuff! |
| | Hee Hee | 1fatts 10/12/2007 | So there are levels of suspending disbelief.
Those aren't real people living through that stuff on the screen. They're actors. We know that. But we suspend disbelief and play along with Clark Gable dissing Vivian Leigh because otherwise we wouldn't enjoy the movie.
But, as I say, there are levels.
Road Runner can't really run into the picture of the train tracks that Wiley Coyote has painted on the rock, and Wiley Coyote can't get run over by the train. We know that too, but we are ready to go further in suspending disbelief to enjoy the cartoon.
Levels.
There ain't much that's even vaguely plausible in Independence Day. The scriptwriters couldn't have taken anything they wrote seriously. Certainly not the dialogue. Certainly not the plot. There really are critics out there who wanted to talk about the Jew and the Black Man saving the planet as some symbolic turn in the demographic history of the United States. Really. They really wrote that.
This is a silly movie. It has really nice special effects. Things blow up good! People say silly things and defeat bad aliens from somewhere bad. And Data has funny hair and glasses.
You go "Wow!" at the special effects and "Hee Hee" at the silly plot and the silly dialogue and eat popcorn and drink $6.00 cups of over-sweet coca cola.
That's what this movie is for, and it does that job just fine. If you want plot, dialogue, character development . . . stay home.
Wiley Coyote draws the train tracks on the rock and Road Runner runs into the picture, down the tracks and into the tunnel.
Hee hee. |

| | This was great | Kenny 10/01/2009 | | I loved this movie. I am a country boy that knows how it is to be in a big city. I am from the area that he was suppose to be from and that is how we are here. We can pick on each other but if some one else does we come together and we take care of them. As a matter of fact yes almost all of us good old boys carry guns. Most know how to shoot bows and a few do know how to throw knives and axes. We was raised that we take care of each other and take care of our own problems. We don't care about the police because most of them don't know there but from a hole in the ground. I think he played a great country boy and the movie had all in it that it needed. |
| | You forgot one movie | 09/18/2009 | | Next of Kin is also one my favorites. It really does show how close country families really are. By the way there is one movie some one forgot to post. Return of the Rebels with Patrick, Barbara Eden, Jamie Farr and other great stars. Patrick and his gang go up against an older generation of bikers. Guess who wins. |
| | Vanesa 09/18/2009 | | Does anyone remember the movie I mentioned above? |

 The Patriot 2000 R, 160 min.
Genre: Action / Adventure / Drama
Director: Roland Emmerich
Cast: Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Joely Richardson, Jason Isaacs, Chris Cooper, Tcheky Karyo, Rene Auberjonois, Lisa Brenner, Tom Wilkinson, Donal Logue, Leon Rippy, Adam Baldwin, Jay Arlen Jones, Gregory Smith, Mika Boorem
In 1780 the British thought they had a stronghold on South Carolina, but guerilla activities helped to confuse Cornwallis as he squandered his strength chasing American forces across the area. The famous "Swamp Fox" Francis Marion understood the role of a guerilla force and proceeded to snap up, one by one, the British posts that Cornwallis had carefully set up in South Carolina. In this rewrite of history, "Swamp Fox" is transformed into the "Ghost," Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson), widower and father of seven children. Another history rewrite takes place in the perception of slavery: slaves seem happy to serve their masters. In reality, in the South more than 10,000 African Americans supported the British forces and were relocated to Nova Scotia, Florida, Jamaica, and Africa at the end of the war. But if you are looking for rousing action and great special effects–and are willing to go along with the premise that the American Revolution was won because Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) led the guerrillas against the evil British (especially Col. William Tavington (Jason Isaacs))–then this movie will prove entertaining.
