Full Impact (1993)
One of the better reminders of the possibility of being a good, original action movie
I can sum up this movie in two words: crea tivity. Never before have I seen this kind of style of movie be pulled off so well. Gary Daniels is definitely the next BIG action star. I think that, if this movie were a presidential candidate, it would be the guy that everyone bashes because they don't understand his policy. But you look into the real heart and soul of this film, you will see that originality is more than an understatement.
The storyline and plot, coupled with the awesome photography and sound, just scream film noir. You can tell they were definitely going for those old-school Japanese flicks, much like Tarantino has borrowed ideas from as well. If only this movie would have come out sooner, it wouldn't have had its thunder stolen by the "new wave" of action, pioneered by the Matrix in 1999. This is a prime example of true film-making and action, back in a world where action movies actually had good stories and acting.
10/10. Gary Daniels is a deity.
21 Grams (2003)
"Life goes on..."
I was expecting alot going into 21 Grams, mainly because of all the great reviews I saw here and the starpower it contained.
Well, I was thoroughly amazed. What an INCREDIBLE film. Naomi Watts was incredible, Sean Penn was fantastic, and Benicio Del Toro was just awesome.
Theres alot of things I can comment on -- Acting, Directing, Cinematography, Screenplay, Editing -- but you just have to see the movie to feel the force behind it. I will be thoroughly disappointed if the academy passes this movie up.
10/10
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
How can you be disappointed at this movie?
Granted, I didn't read the books, but oh my god, how can people say this movie sucked? One of the best epics to ever grace the screen, concluding the best trilogy ever to grave the screen. Unbelievable movie.
