howdy everyone
this past weekend i went ahead and saw, Rambo. hoover dam! that was an awesome movie. i giggled like a little school girl at the amount of violence in that movie. it DID NOT sugercoat anything in the story about the mass murder of the inhabitants of Burma, which i think is actually happening at this moment (unless otherwise??). my favorite quote from the movie is a part where the woman is trying to convince Rambo to take her missionary church group into Burma and Rambo is refusing because he feels that nothing will change and their lives are in danger. she says, "you know, it isn't wasting your life if you're trying to save a life." or something along the lines like that. it makes total sense to me. another aspect is Rambo always being there to destroy the evil doers like a messenger of death. he truly plays the part of "action hero". something that has been sorely missed since the days of the movie Commando or the first Rambo movies.
another movie i saw previously was Street Kings. amazing movie as well. its about a special "Vice" unit within LAPD that is corrupt. or is it? the subject matter about how crime is punished walks a thin line between right and wrong. truly something to contemplate when it comes to doing away with evil people in Los Angeles. basically this unit takes the law into their own hands and i couldn't help but think that this story is based somewhat in reality. i truly believe that it is. in a terrible world such as this it makes sense that peace officers take matters into their own hands. i know it happens in mexico, so why not in LA? anyways its a movie that reveals a side to law enforcement that dare not cross the minds of unsuspecting citizens.
i also saw the movie Ruins. lots of violence and gore. horror flick. depressing. awesome story though. flesh. eating. plants. 'nuff said.
*spoilers, though i doubt it since the forum is filled with geeks*
oh and quakeyjase, the Lord of the Rings trilogy are amazing movies. i remember that the first time i saw fellowship, i screamed at the movie in the theater (i know, pretty pathetic) when Gandalf died. i immediately went out and bought the books and got a head start. to my content, he didn't die! can't say enough that Legolas is muh favorite character. total badass. reminds of Link for the Legend of Zelda games.
