Savior (1998)
I must have missed the point
After reading the rave reviews here and else where on the internet I decided to rent and watch this relatively unknown movie. What I saw though didn't seem to be what I had expected.
This pro Serb war movie had some very powerful scenes to say the least but that was just it, just scenes that didn't really in my opinion support the underlying plot which was thin but inspiring to a certain degree.
The first part of the story seemed rushed and I don't think it fully established Dennis Quaid's character and his relationship with his family to justify his murderous rampage. They breezed through the beginning so fast I don't even remember what he did for a living.
The rest of the movie at times brilliant didn't flow smoothly and the ending was abrupt and incomplete.
The acting was ok, one of the better performances I've seen from Quaid but I don't know how they could advertise this as a Nastassja Kinski film in those trailers when she only appeared for 10 minutes maximum.
Overall, not a movie for everyone. Although it wasn't a bad movie, it wasn't a good one either. They could have done more. Watch it if you must, but with a majority of reviews saying it was great and fantastic, you may be one of the few who like me feel that it's not as good as they say.

Wing Commander: Prophecy (1997)
An insult to the Wing commander Series
I first got started on wing commander when I played part 4 The Price of Freedom and what an excellent games it was. Then hoping wing commander 5 would continue this legacy I was bitterly disappointed.
Part 5 has a very thin plot to say the least. They turned the hero of the previous wing commanders into an old coot and the acting is just damn atrocious which was a suprise because Mark Hamil's performance in part 4 was pretty solid. I guess he didnt try in this one because the plot was so stupid.
Shame on the origin team for release this poor excuse for a game and a movie, I feel it was money down the drain.

The Dirt Bike Kid (1985)
One for the kids
I've got to admit, when I saw this movie for the first time I was in primary school, probably in year 4 or 5 and I thought it was the absolute best. I bugged my dad to rent it from the video store week after week after week.
Well, that was 18 years ago and looking back, I cannot believe the stuff they tried to pull off in this movie. I mean a flying bike? Well, having said that I loved it when I was young and so would any child.
