If you like John Woo’s action sequences, that may be reason enough to see this movie. I cannot think of any other reason. They have taken a good cast (Nick Cage and Christian Slater) and paired them up with two very interesting Navaho actors in an extremely interesting historical time period and still failed to create a good movie.… Read the rest “Windtalkers (2002)”

Changing Lanes pits Sam Jackson against Ben Afleck in a story where you can empathize with each character in the situation they are in. Ben’s character is not a likable character. While changing lanes, they have a little car accident.

I just rented Queen of the Damned, based on the novel by Anne Rice and sequel to Interview with the Vampire (1994). None of the actors are the same. There’s no Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, or Antonio Banderas. Some of the same characters are played by younger actors which makes sense since they are Vampires and vampires don’t age.… Read the rest “Queen of the Damned (2002)”

Yes, this one is a few years old, but I just got around to seeing it. I haven’t jump to rent this one (or see it in the theater) because, to be honest, it didn’t look all that good. However, in the first 5 minutes, I was hooked.… Read the rest “Gattaca (1997)”
