"You can run, but you can't hide!"

The Road Warrior is an apocalyptic epic survival film set in the future where gasoline and machines rule. Survival is tough and you can't trust anyone. Mad Max played by Mel Gibson is a drifter after suffering some loss in the first film Mad Max.... Set in a wasteland of Australia he has to deal with bandits and nomads. The bandits he has to dodge death from are Humongous and his warrior gang. It is savage and spectacular. I was rooting for Mad Max!

The whispers in the jungle, the horror....

"We Were Soldiers": a 2002 War film based on a true story of Lt. Col. Hal Moore during 1965 leading his men into the Ia Drang Valley against fierce NVA Vietnam troops fully surrounded and ambushed. It was one of the most accurate and event depicting films about the Vietnam War that I have seen next to Platoon and Apocalypse Now... The story is about commitment, courage, and sacrifice that lead to many of the sodliers in this battle to receive the Medal of Honor. One of Mel Gibson's finest performances. The special features are awesome and this film hit home since some of my family fought with honor and a couple tours of duty during Vietnam at that time. An emotional roller coaster that showed the true feelings and results of the men who fought and stayed in a place with a funny name with people who had yellow skin. You couldn't tell where the enemy would come from next. "They heard the hum of our motors, they counted the rotors, and in the end they were right. They all went down together, like brothers in arms they were..". They fought for the men next to them and not the politicians..

300 reasons stand your ground!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The first time I saw this film I was enthralled.. 300 came out in 2007 and was a graphic novel adapted film from a comic series based on Leonidas I and the 300 Spartans. They took on a monster Persian army that was ruthless and unforgiving during the second Persian War.. The plot is fantastic and you find yourself just in awe of the special effects. The characters are out of this world and I haven't seen any film since the Mad Max franchise have such strange characters in it be so violent. The film follows one man who grows up and has to lead an army of the best 300 warriors against an invading force of Persians trying to dominate the world. The battles are fierce and many are tricked, deceived, and outnumbered but fend off until the brutal end. It's just a fun watch and the film will be great to look back on for it's accomplishments. It was different for many reasons but the one that stands out is the narrator, and how he narrates the film in such a demeanor that just leaves you speechless..

What's great about it: The plot, the way the Spartans ran their society, the build of of a war, the weaponry, the war tactics, and the battles.
What's not so great: I was hoping some of the characters got what's coming to them but didn't :(

It's not fun to run into a Chameleon...

Predator: This film from 1987 still stands the action test of time... The actors alone set up a nice suspenseful science fiction horror full of paranoia and mystery in the jungles in South America. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers lead a team of mercenaries into a jungle to find a lost special forces team.. Only they find that they are being hunted by a mysterious chameleon like Alien from another planet... Chaos, fear, and pure horror take place while trying to find a way out.. Great one liners and weapon action from the actors sets up a great plot and film. You want to root for the guys and get attached to the characters really fast. The special features on the Blu ray are full of hours of extras and interviews from the cast... It was a challenge to film it. The Blu ray quality is 10 times better than the DVD version.. You can see the bushes and blades of grass in the jungle really well. The quality if cleaned up and is awesome looking. One line that will stick out to me is "Get to the chopper!".

300: continuation of a cinematic thrill.

300: Rise of an Empire continues the story after the Spartans had fought the Persians and Xerxes army... This film focuses on a female lead and the Greeks in ship battles. It has a plot mainly looking at navigation war tactics.. The hunchback makes a return and I enjoyed the origin story of Xerxes. Hoping for another film in the franchise. The action was very well done and the battle scenes left me speechless!
