My Review 

Last time He was after gold now Allan Quatermain is back this time team up with a woman to help her find her missing father lost in Africa so pretty much this is Adventure. Movie like last movie with lot of good action so does this have a Indiana Jones type thing yes music is almost the same story is about up there as well but it is a lot different then Indiana Jones movies that for sure from what I see now is it better then his other one called lost city of gold now let’s yes and no why do I say that well.

Story is all right but could of been a better plot from what I see but it was not worst I see so will say story was good every time he finds to get himself in trouble or bad guys after him but that what made movie good as for acting not too bad sharon Stone was good in this and also pretty as well nice smile as well just loved her movie she made movie shine for 80’s movies also was nice to Richard Chamberlain as Allen Quatermain yet again he the only one that I know that can play this character so good In movie series not too bad acting little bit chessy some though.

Now did they have a big ending and big battle as well pretty much it was him trying to save the girl before dumping her in River of lava or something some of lighting in caves was beautiful and there was Treasure as well not much of big battle but the effects was pretty and did not have a bad ending now there something else below that would be amazing idea it never happen but would of been cool what would of idea below will tell you.

I would of love to see him do a movie with Indiana Jones it would of made a fun movie if they team up would of been a great movie it never did happen just a idea would of been cool sort of maybe of maybe not anyway this was not a bad movie not best but will say I like it

I give movie a rating out of 10/10 a 6/10 because it was good.

Warning spoilers possible ahead

My Review 

Well thought this movie would be about arcade More it was but they added silly comedy as well which was kind of dumb it felt like revenge of nerds movie it was silly but what point of story in this well local businessman see what going on in arcade and plans to shut it down and then nerds which I call trying to save there arcade that pretty much it this movie too me wasn’t that good I will give some reasons below.

Well the problem is this movie jokes are Little bland not funny much and plot doesn’t have much thought it would been around arcade more but it was around teen sex which some 80’s movies are back in days I almost turn this movie off because it was not good but I been though worst when it comes to movies like this and figure may of just review this one and it get out of my hair lol oh yeah there lots of nudity in this figure since this was 80’s now days don’t think you see that much In today stuff in this movie if they did in today era could get arrested.

Pretty much this movie is so bad I will say acting was not top acting arcade stuff was can of cool but to me this movie failed to be a arcade movie which would of been something if writers force on that but who write this seem total lost oh yeah if anybody in to nudity almost every 20 mins boobs show up again don’t bug me but every 20 mins is like ok maybe cut that back a few times would of been fine to me too me joysticks is not a movie I like but it is indeed show you what 80’s was for some movies back then also I will say did laugh not at comedy but too how bad this movie is also to close it get rid of that pac man going across the screen when it cuts to another scene that sort of bug me as well.

That it for this review trust me next week will have a better movie to review

Starring..... Tom Selleck, Cynthia Rhodes and Gene Simmons

Director...... Michael Crichton

Synopsis

Warning Spoilers ahead

My Review

The Story

Well the story of movie felt like a comic style type movie plot which I can of like I think I remember see this movie back in days not sure if so this first time I see it in years.

Pretty much the whole story is about Jack Ramsey disarming robots that are know as Rubaways finds himself partnered with rookie cop Thompson who is played by Cynthia Rhodes, who is best known for her roles in Staying alive, Flash Dance and Dirty Dancing.

When robots start Target people and killing them it leads to them to psychotic Luther who is a nut case when it comes to program robots to kill they must now race against time to catch him before he does any more Damage.

The film is set in near future as you can tell with robots there is a killer robot which is like a spider looking thing that stabs you with a syringe filled with acid before blowing up and smart bullets, which can be programmed to track human heat signatures, the guy that plays Luther is none other then gene Simmons from Kiss and must say he indeed pull this off never in my day would see him as bad guy in a movie.

Sure is something how this Luther guy can programmed robots to kill for him have to say he is one heck of creating genius that is nuts that for sure now he going after guy son which takes it too far but this guy is a nut so nothing new so last 15 of mins was one heck and battle was great was a lot of close calls with them creepy Spider robots let say in the end it backfired on bad guy big time can of crazy ending to a Cheesy movie but I did like this one it was not bad at all had great music as well.

The acting

Tom selleck puts on a not bad performance as your average cop and Cynthia Rhodes was not bad as well in this she did good. But the top lead pretty much went to Gene Simmons as evil Luther his performance pretty made this movie Incredible and also spider robots were great in this one too very scary robots.

We get some other big names from 80’s in the form of Kristie Ally and G.W Bailey who would go on to be best know in Police academy movies.

Overall

This movie is indeed can of 80’s chessy movie but it is still entertaining with Again Tom selleck and Gene Simmons as well.

It is a fun film to watch if you got the time to watch.

 A Review of Birdy (1984)

Starring....... Matthew Modine, Nicolas cage and Al Columbato

Director....... Alan Parker

Synopsis

After two friends return home from Vietnam War one becomes mentally unstable and obsesses with becoming a bird.

Warning Spoilers Ahead

My Review

If there any movie that is indeed crazy this one ranks up there the story of this one is good and is something how one is written in this one guy is obsesses on being a bird the story does go back and forward on story like before and after story the story after is his friend trying to get him out mental house and trying to get him stable as well so pretty much go back and forward they are very good friends as well seem like he was so into birds even try to fly with wings he made this movie is pretty good on acting as well some of Nicholas cage great acting in this role so acting is good story up and down a little bit to me but I know since they are telling story no problems but I wonder what all this is buliding up for a good ending of movie or bad one is the ?.

Well have to say this movie was not bad but good it story was good between one guy who trying become a bird and another guy trying save his friend birdy from being throw in a nuthouse or crazy house so what did I think of ending can of silly but that way I would end it a comedy way a very good movie Nicholas cage was gold in if your fan and have not see it you also you may or may not like this movie as I thought it was silly movie but that was 80’s for you huh which I do and this movie pretty much fits in that era I am not sure if that one would fit in today era is all I got to say see you next Sunday.

I give this movie a rating out of 10/10 a 6/10 because it was good.
