TeenSteele

After The Sunset is officially my favorite movie now. I just saw a special sneak preview of it, and, believe it or not, I'm going to watch it again when it actually opens next weekend! The acting is just great, and the chemistry between Hayek and Brosnan is beautiful. They just get along so well, and you would actually believe that they're seeing each other apart from the movie is how well it is. Harrelson is a great FBI agent gone mad. Not really mad in a sense that he's insane, but mad with the fact that he has to catch Max(Brosnan) because he's been chasing him for so long. Then there is the tension between Sophie(Harris) and Lloyd(Harrelson). He wants to catch Max so badly that he partners up with Sophie, a local cop who wants to make a big arrest. Their chemistry is very subdued and very subtle. We can see that he does in fact like her, yet she keeps refusing him(not rejecting him though). The reason I like this movie is because it provides some real entertainment that is hard to find these days in movies. This movie you might put on the lines as a sort of Ocean's 11 or that sort, but really, once you watch it, you'll find it to be quite different.

Reservoir Dogs is one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. It's not about the killing, or even the actually robbery gone awry. This movie is more about the way humans think. It's very intriguing to watch all the characters development (and lack of) and see how everything all fits together in the end. Also, the sequence of events was very cool. I love how Quentin Tarantino uses the " chapter " format to keep us viewers in suspense as to the events. The movie itself is very..symbolical, in a way. I mean, it's about strangers trying to work together without a basic foundation, of trust. I suppose they may have trusted each other at one point, but after the robbery went horribly wrong, they could barely contain themselves. Watching them try and figure out what had happened, when they probably didn't even know themselves, was very entertaining, and I don't mean in a ' OK, Mr.Blonde, kill that guy!" way. I mean more of a, what are they trying to do, how are they going to prove what is what.

When Mr. Orange tries to comfort Nash, the cop, and tells him he is a cop, nobody really expected that... or did they? I think they were both really scared, because Orange was dying and Nash was about to be burnt alive by Mr.Blonde, with the gasoline. Even if you did have suspicions about Mr.Orange, did anyone expect the part when he shoots Mr. Blonde? I know I didn't. That is exactly why this movie is about human nature. Was Orange actually passed out on the floor.. or was he awake the whole time? The answer depends on what kind of person you are.

Remington Steele was a mixture of mystery, comedy, romance, and so much more. i wasn't born when it originally aired, but i watched the reruns on some obscure television network. it was all magic. the way the show carries itself, the way it goes through each episode. there is always an air of mystery about Steele, which we don't actually find out until the very end. there is also the never ending question that always comes up, no matter how 'bleak the situation,' does he or doesn't he love Laura? Of course we all know, but Holt herself won't admit it. As the episodes and seasons go by, the characters develop even more. All in all, this show really does blow away the scale, and i give it a 11 out of 10. although this show did have some weak moments, what show doesn't? i know I'll be first in line when they release the DVD(if they ever do...).
