Review of The Day After Tomorrow - Silly climate change

fortheinfo — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 20:51:34 -0500

The Day After Tomorrow is rated PG-13.

Plot: The plot is outlandish. Climate change hits with a vengeance. A hole in the atmosphere opens up and a vaccum is created where the cold of space is funneled down into earth. The instant cold acts like a super freezer and everything is frozen. It stars Randy Quaid as the father of Jake Gyllenhaal. I'm not a Jake fan, so I didn't really like his character.

Quaid plays a climatologist who is sounding a warning of future problems. In typical fashion, the government doesn't listen to him until tornadoes tear through Los Angeles, California. Yeah, tornadoes. Problem is it's too late to do anything about it.

Review of Battlefield Earth - John Travolta is an alien

fortheinfo — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 23:44:08 -0500

Battlefield Earth is a movie starting John Travolta, Barry Pepper and Forest Whitaker. It's based on a novel by L. Ron Hubbard of the same name. The plot revolves around Travolta and Whitaker as aliens who exploit humans on earth to mine gold.

It's the year 3000AD and man isn't doing too well. We've been conquered by aliens referred to as the Psychlos. Travolta plays a security officer and his assistant is Whitaker. Humans are rounded up and forced to work mining gold. It's odd, but it seems gold really is a good, long term investment.

The Terminal - Tom Hanks lives in an airport

One could easily make the argument that Tom Hanks is over exposed. Sure, he's a great actor, but all the movies. This is especially true when he plays oddballs. In The Terminal he plays Viktor Navorski from the country of Krakozhia. He ends up being trapped in a New York airport due to his passport being invalid. Yes, it was valid when he left his country, but by the time he landed in the US his country was overthrown.

I had no idea customs worked like that.

You do have to suspend some reality when you watch this movie. For instance, Hanks ends up living in a section of the airport that is under construction. No one really notices until it's time to complete work in the area. To the construction worker's surprise Hanks has done most of the work.
