Demolition Man Film Review

Advantages: Characters, Action, Humour
Disadvantages: It's Dumb

...of my favourite scenes in Demolition Man involves Snipes breaking into the "gun exhibition" in the local museum. A hapless museum worker comes along and asks "What seems to be his boggle?", resulting in him being thrown through the glass of the weapons store and Snipes going apeshit with classic pistols and shotguns from the '90s, as well as the more-recent phaser gun. Stallone soon gets in on the action and ends up walloping Phoenix with a 14 " ...
...couldn't help but laugh. Demolition Man is loud and funny, and, perhaps more surprisingly, thought-provocative. The envisioned future has been built upon the ideas from such films as Total Recall and Woody Allen's Sleeper -- the underground resistance/having sex through electronic equipment -- in which the majority of society has become politically correct, overtaken by corporate food chains such as Taco Bell, resulting in the people being mindless ...

Review of Demolition Man (DVD)

My own review of the film "First Blood".

Advantages: Nice action, sets the stage for future Rambo movies, good acting.
Disadvantages: Storyline is not so good or captivating, honestly speaking.

This is the first installment movie of the very famous Rambo series. John Rambo(Sylvester Stallone) is an ex-vietnam operative, and a green beret soldier, trained and expert in guerilla fighting. In a city, he gets into a misunderstanding with the local cops. When they try to convict him, he injures them and escapes from the police station. After a long cop chase, he finally manages to escape into the forest. The cops, as usual, decide to capture ...
...to track him down. But as the saying goes: " Don't try to mess with a tiger (Rambo here) in the forest". Cops, who till now have no idea of what Rambo is capable of in a forest, try to capture Rambo; they get themselves seriously injured instead, are forced to return, and decide to employ special forces to track him down. Finally, Rambo gets arrested, but before that, he really makes one hell of a mess. Just watch the movie and see the rest. ...

Review of First Blood (DVD)

Yo Adrian! I did it!

Advantages: Inspiring, motivational film
Disadvantages: None. You must own this

...dribbled to an end with Rocky V, but as it turns out, the old pug still has one more fight in him. Picking up in present day Philadelphia, a middle aged Rocky is now making a living running an Italian restaurant and entertaining customers with stories of his glory days. He isn't exactly a burn-out, but he's a man facing his autumn years with no real sense of purpose. Meanwhile, current heavyweight champion Mason Dixon faces growing public apathy ...
...between Dixon and an in-his-prime Rocky has Balboa come out on top. Dixon's promoters hit upon the idea of staging a one-off exhibition bout between the two men. For Rocky, it's just the opportunity he's been waiting for - a chance to exorcise his demons and prove that he can still go one more round. I must admit, I really didn't see how Stallone could make this film work with Rocky pushing sixty. Could he really pull off such a miracle? Could he ...

Review of Rocky Balboa (DVD)

It's Rocky vs The Cold War!

Advantages: The montages
Disadvantages: It's a bit cartoonish and over the top

...left on this planet for Rocky to beat. He'd already prevailed over Apollo Creed, Mr T and even Hulk Hogan. His next opponent? The Soviet Union. A couple of years after his victory against Clubber Lang, Rocky is still on top. But a new threat emerges from behind the Iron Curtain in the form of Ivan Drago - a hulking Soviet boxer whose strength borders on superhuman. Drago is set to fight Rocky for the heavyweight title, but a patriotic Apollo Creed ...
...to avenge his friend's death, Rocky drops his heavyweight title and travels to Russia to fight Drago. Whereas Drago trains in a high-tech gym with scientists monitoring his every move, Rocky embarks on a mad strength training regime in freezing Siberian weather to toughen himself up. When the fight finally comes around, both men are in phenomenal shape and determined to win, but Drago is still much bigger and stronger. Worse, the entire Soviet crowd ...

Review of Rocky 4 (DVD)

Rambo 3 loads of action

Advantages: Great action
Disadvantages: none

I love the Rambo trilogy. Rambo is in my top 5 best movies. It is full of action, courage and lots of death. Sylvester plays Rambo so well, a match made in heaven. In the first Rambo film we see Rambo being outlawed by a local police officer. Then he fights back. The army gets involved. In the end Rambo wreaks havoc on the towns police force. Will anyone stop him! This is a very good film, as we see the brutality of the poilce on a war hero. Rambo's ...
...prison, on a motorbike and the police car capsides. I love this film and i give it 10/10. In Rambo 2, we see Rambo rescuing some POW's from a Vietnamese prison. But complications soon arise in the form of a treatcherous commander. Leaving Rambo trapped by the Vietnamese and Russians! This is a great film as we see the torturing methods of Vietnam. But as he has previous experience, will he provail. My best part is when Rambo starts kicking back ...
