Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)

I liked this movie alot. WA's part in it really spoke to me. His and Mia Farrows relationship struck alittle to close to home, making this a movie i could relate to. The martin Landou part seems to be the inspiration for matchpoint 16 years later, with the relationship and it ending poorly. I really like the relationship he had with his niece, that was nice, and i think that overall even though it was a sad ending it was a really good ending. Alan Alda was really freakin funny, Sam Waterson was really great. The whole thing of the "good" brother having bad things happen to him and the "bad" brother doing bad things and thier being no consequences was an interesting point that i don't really agree with but i liked none the less.

overall i would say that i liked it quite well and is in my top 5 fav. Woody Allen movies.

Soldier (1998)

So justin at work was talking about this band called the replicants and said i should check them out, so i did and i was reading aobut them on wikipedia, which lead of course to blade runner and unexpectedly to this movie, a one of actioner from when i was in highschool. i remember renting this movie with my dad when he had a cabin on mt. hood on ppv. The writer of soldier was also the writer of bladerunner (screen play not source material) and he had set this movie to take place in that same universe. Todd is a replicant, a nova series one, so looking at it like that i thought this movei was totally cool, showing how they train them and all that stuff. but with out that knowledge i thought it was kinda cheesy but mostly ok action movie, kurt russell really does fucking rule,

i would give it 3.5 hot sauce packets. with the possibility of rewatching once a year maybe, every two.

Elvis the movie

oh sweet jesus i finally saw it. John Carpenter directs Kurt Russell as Elvis in Elvis the movie. and man i have wanted to see it for a long time. it's the only carpenter movie i don't own and had never seen. it's not out on dvd and its hard to find on vhs. i thought that kurt did a good job playing elvis. not an enviable job. It wasn't perfect, but it was a lot better than it had any right to be. The co stars were your basic tv movie actors not horrible not great. i mean what do you expect it's a made for tv movie about elvis.

over all i give it 3 out 5 hot sauce packets

would i watch it often if i owned it? nope, but is it cool to watch it? yep.
