my sister has some denzel washington 3 pack and i watched all 3 movies yesterdya morning... lol
"Courage Under Fire": pretty good flick, worth watching if youve never seen it. meg ryans acting was kind of annoying but it didnt really ruin the movie. i think everybody did a great job... ultimately it has kind of a "B-Movie" feel to it, "people pretending to be army people" feel. but i didnt mind and was glad i finally saw it. i was much more interested in denzels story rather than meg ryans story, it was like two stories going on at once, and even though meg ryans was supposed to be the main story, it came off as being the weaker part of the plot in the very end.
"The Siege": this movie is pre 9/11 and its obvious. its almost like the movie serves to prepare people mentally for what happened (tinfoilhat.jpg). i found myself constantly thinking about 9/11 and all the stuff that happened afterwards with the arab community and the militarization of the united states. its a good movie worth checking out if youve never seen it; its also worth re-visiting if you saw it pre-september 11, now with the knowledge of what happened afterwards.
"Man on Fire": pretty decent movie. i couldnt really stand dakota fannings character or her tiny scary ass little corpse eating zombie teeth, and the movie was pretty predictable, but christopher walken is in it and did a great job. i think denzel washington could have pulled off being more of a bad ass in the movie, cause that seems to be the central theme; gets wronged, awakes his wrath and he goes all out to get revenge. i think he could have been more fierce if thats even possible. and i wasnt much a fan of the camera work they used. then again its a pretty old movie. also they didnt really give messico much credit in the movie lol, the picture they painted was like a run down third world country where laws dont matter, only money.
these are all pretty old movies; i shouldve seen them all already but i was young when they were released and i wasnt too big on mainstream shit back then
