I’d been waiting for this movie my entire life – loads of realistic blood and gore on the screen. None of that pansy “lets sword-fight for 5 minutes and then I’ll punch you out” stuff. Hack, slash, UGH!!! I can die happy now.

What Women Want
I’d really like to know. Unfortunately, all I learned from this movie is that they don’t even know. If you want to see a bunch of close-up scenes of Mel kissing some women, this is your movie. Otherwise, just see the preview.
Tequila Sunrise
I didn’t really understand the appeal of this one. It felt like watching the life of a middle-aged man who is trying to get a date with a fat divorcee. (Not literally, but it was about that exciting)
Signs
This movie has some of the same problems as Independence Day (see review), which is not a good sign! Apparently, the aliens haven’t invented gore-tex. Also, the atmospheric humidity would slowly-burn/corrode thier skin, but they seem unaffected by that… just walking around naked. Bottom line – if they want to get us, we wouldn’t stand a chance. Also, why the complicated crop circles? can’t they just use radios?
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
It’s Australian for post-apocalyptic hero.
Ransom
Mel Gibson’s character is a real sniveling, wishy-washy, “I want my mommy” type for most of this movie. People who head large corporations just aren’t like that. He finally pulls through at the end though – that was more like it!
The Patriot
Better than I thought it’d be, but a long way from superb. I liked the fact that a lot of the main characters (if not all of them) die. Plus, I think they captured the period really well. I didn’t really care for Mel though… I’ve seen him do the “rage thing” too many times now.
The Man Without a Face
More Mel. Pretty cheesy, rather dismissible.
Mad Max
Mel actually playing an Australian. This would have been fine if it hadn’t been duplicated (and therefore diluted) by so many ripoff movies.
Lethal Weapon III
Even MORE Mel!
Lethal Weapon II
More Mel.
Lethal Weapon
Mel
Forever Young
I don’t understand the romance of just “being” with someone… is it just me? am I heartless? I mean, they’re together for like 5 seconds at the end, and they make it out to be such a wonderful thing. How can 5 seconds make up for a whole lifetime missed?
