Beetle Juice (1988)

Yes, its campy. Yes, its bizzare and strange and deviated way from the norm.

Yes yes yes ...
Over the years, I have had a love / hate relationship with this movie. Right now, I be in a rather forgiving mood. Michael Keaton is amazingly weird. The special effects are quite the trip and the sound was awesome. The editing is first rate, but the plot ... Sorry.What is strange about it is I sort of like the writing, the script at times very original and very funny. But that plot ... that basic story line ... I don't know. Maybe that is why I have teeter tottered about this film: So much good, yet an underlying strange badness to it.

If your into bizarre horror flicks, then you might want to give it a try. There are positively some very bizarre scenes from this movie that you are going to take with you. Right now I gave this a barely 8 / 10. A couple of years ago, maybe a solid 6. Who knows next year or the year after.

The Guardian (2006)

I'll be damned, the stupid movie made me cry, allright. Maybe it was the tequilla I had consumed, but I don't think so.

It had some amazing special effects. It had some pretty good acting. But what got to me was the story line. The writing was top notch. I learned a lot about the Coast Guard, especially the swimmers, the one's that risk their lives to save other folks in great need. Some pretty special individuals for sure.

I would give the movie a good solid 8 out of 10. It was a bit lame in spots, but I didn't see the ending coming. Again, maybe the tequilla. (What can I say, its been a hell of a week, and Kevin Harvick won the Daytona 500. Thats a good thing for me.)

I can recommend this movie, especially for the brave souls who work the Nations Coast Guard. ORRAAH!

Taxi Driver (1976)

I finally got to see the entire movie last Night on VHS. I was hoping to be able to record it to DVD, but no such luck since the Tape was protected. That's cool. Apparently on Feb. 24 and 25th, AMC will be showing this wonderfully strange, yet at times, very violent movie. Showtimes will be on the 24th, 7:30 PM and on the 25th at 6:30 am. These times are PST, west coast USA.

This movie definitely isn't for everyone. Its dark, disturbing at times, and As I mentioned very violent in places.

I liked the Movie. Probably would have liked it better had I seen the movie all at one sitting instead of broken up over a 10 hour period. It has some very slow moments, some might think it boring, but these moments are brief and very few in number. All in all, I'd give it a good solid 8.5 out of 10.

I'd recommend this movie.
