The Animated Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie (2003)
Saw the preview...
The preview from the Strangebrew DVD looks awesome. Bob and Doug in the modern 21st century Canada farting around. They apparently are Sanitary Engineers who interact with various characters in the neighborhood including a very attractive woman whose beefcake boyfriend doesn't deserve. The fumigation business is apparently booming in Canada.
They also have an active night life at the local ice rink. There is a preview of a couple of Ugly Canuck chicks all over them, but they aren't interested. They they show a small preview of the states, guns blazing, smoke billowing, women screaming. All too real for us here in the US.
Can't wait til we get to see it here in the states, eh!
The Boondock Saints (1999)
Supreme Vigilante action gains support from FBI agent
Two boys that work in a factory, and live in a shut down building are attacked by some russian mobsters they got in a bar fight with the night before (St. Patricks day). They chain one to the toilet, and take the other down into the street to shoot him in the head. These brothers are very closely knit, so the chained down brother struggles, and ends up pulling up the toilet, walking out to the roof holding it, and throws it down onto the head of the one of the mobster that was going to shoot his brother, instantly killing him. Then he jumps down 5 stories to land on the other mobster. They voluntarily come into the police station for questioning, and explain the whole thing. The cops let them loose since it was self defense, and let them sleep in a cell overnight. The next day they get a page on the pager they stole from the mobster. They call the number and the person on the phone tells them to go to where all the heads of the russian mobs are meeting. They decide to kill the rest of the russian mob. They put a plan together, and go to an underground dealer of guns. They trade in everything they have, and sneak into the building and drop down from the vents. They get snagged on the rope that one of the brothers got, much in protest of the other. They hang upside down, and just start shooting. They kill everyone in the room with little effort. This is just the beginning of a wonderfully violent movie.
Reckless: The Movie (1998)
Twisting endless plot
Although this story didn't seem to have an ending, it finally did.
I have to admit that many times throughout the movie, I did not believe that Owen and Anna would actually do it. Owen was clearly a fling to Anna, but in her adulthood and maturity, could not find it in herself to admit it, and end it with him. Instead, she treated their relationship like a business deal. Never letting go until you have to. Owen, a horny young man, of course is going along with it, not having any inclination to let go. Richard, a husband wanna-be, only seems to start wanting Anna because someone else does.
A very good movie, with an intense fight scene, and some good sex scenes.
The Matrix (1999)
Stunning new-age sci-fi
Awesome, unbelievable, incredible.
This movie has a solid plot, mixed with stupendous music, to make it a wonderful movie experience. I saw it twice in the theatres, and when it came out on video, I rented it, and brought it back 2 days late, because I didn't want to stop watching it. But the video store called, and asked for it back.
They left this movie WIDE open for a sequel, and I would love one. But of course, we can't always get what we want (Unless someone has $10 million to spare, and a great director.)
