    “Road House” Review

    Road House: Directed by Doug Liman. With Jake Gyllenhaal, Daniela Melchior, Conor McGregor, Billy Magnussen. Ex-UFC fighter Dalton takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems.

    The original “Road House” movie is a classic of pure machoism mixed in with small town corruption and this reimagining holds true to the basic premise, doing it justice in a modern setting. I found it entertaining and would suggest that it’s a great movie, except there was a creative decision to use some funny looking “impact” camera work during the fights, which made the stunt work look face and forced. Added to that is the concept of two guys that just straight up can’t be knocked out, no matter what hits their head or how hard it hits them, and several of the fights are just silly no stakes, no impact boring slugfests that just end up with two well muscled and beautiful men walking away from the encounters breathing heavy and looking sexy with minor wounds.

    Just to be clear though, I do enjoy seeing Jake Gyllenhaal without a shirt on, so if you’re in the same camp, you may find this movie worth your time.

    “The Matrix” Review

    The Matrix: Directed by Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski. With Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving. When a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth–the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.

    AMC had it back in theaters for it’s 25th anniversary and I was completely stoked to finally get to see it in theaters, I was a poor college freshman when it came out the first time, and at the time it wasn’t exactly easy to see movie trailers without going to the movies or watching tv, so I completely missed out on the trailers and I only watched it because a copy was being passed around the dorm floor and it came highly recommended. The theatrical experience was amazing, the dolby theater I saw it in was nearly filled to capacity, I had some peanut M&Ms, and spent the entire time silently saying all the lines along with the characters on the screen, usually with a giddy smile on my face.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation: Dominion War: Book 3: Tunnel Through The Stars

    From the Gamma Quadrant they came, hordes of merciless Jem’Hadar soldiers commanded by the shape-changing Founders, who seek to conquer both the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. Now that the Dominion has joined forces with the Cardassians, and claimed Deep Space Nine as their pri

    Book 3 of 4, which is actually book 2 in a story of how a couple members of the TNG crew saved the alpha quadrant from an artificial worm hole from being opened up by the Dominion, a story concept that didn’t actually work for me too well, it just opens up too many potential issues with future use of the knowledge and technology in the wider Trek universe that would have way too many problematic implications. The story itself is well written, but I’m not particularly happy that they took the Enterprise out of the story in the first book, then never really brought her back in until the final pages of the story.

    “Damsel” Review

    Damsel: Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. With Millie Bobby Brown, Ray Winstone, Angela Bassett, Brooke Carter. A dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt.

    A great example of a “girls get it done” style of movie that’s not telling you about how great women are, but instead shows you how great they can be, all without being performative or reducing the concept to a trope that’s so over repeated that it’s more of a meme than a useful story element in modern movies. Millie Bobby Brown continues to impress me with her role selections and implementations, though I’ll say that I wasn’t a fan of her hair in this flick at all and her character looked best when she was riding a horse into or out of various locations.

    It’s a fun dragon movie, so if you’re into such things, this is going to be right up your alley, especially if you enjoy the devious style of dragons that all have horrible plans for horrible people.
