Ronin

starring Robert De'Niro, Jean Reno, Sean Bean, and Natascha McElhone

Ronin starts out with a job for professionals in a bar/cafe. A group of men meet Natascha Mcelhone to find out what big job they are in store for.

Jean Reno's character quickly becomes friends with the overly questioning Robert DeNiro very quickly. Robert asks so many questions that you can tell that you can tell that something is up, or he is the only guy there that wants to get the job done without getting killed. It is sometimes quite annoying, but it also opens up a lot of wounds for the other characters in the movie.

Sean Bean becomes the first big confrontation with his junky scottish character that seems like he knows what he is doing but at the same time seems to be just what he is. A Junky.

Then the usual movie cliche' happens, the big Double Cross and the movie is spun around fighting against themselves to get the prize. A case with something to the unknown in it. (not that Robert won't ask a billion times as to what is in the case.)

They figure out who they are working for and continue the mission without fail.

My problem with this film is that after about forty five minutes you aren't sure if they are still going to get paid for the job or if they are just that pissed off about getting screwed that they are going to finish it anyway.

It is a great action film if you are into the car chase scenes that never seem to end, but over all it is a good film to add to your library.

rating = B-

Outland

starring Sean Connery and Peter Boyle

We are put on the moon Io where a mining farm is located. Sean Connery is your protagonist future police officer that is getting moved to this plant as the new commander. He is there for a one year tour after the previous Commander has left.

Peter Boyle is the president/boss of this operation doing some not so legal things on his plant.

The point of this movie and the reason for Sean to be there, is some people are starting to die for strange reasons. Some are freaking out at random and killing themselves while workers are going bonkers and offing other workers.

So the story begins. It's the usual story line. Somebody is doing something they shouldn't and the new guy is going to break him of it. Nothing new in that line. Kinda boring.

Well, not kinda boring, this whole movie was boring. It moves slow. You know what's going to happen in the movie in the first twenty minutes. The rest is just waiting until you get to see it happen. There are no twists and turns that aren't expected and you sit there wondering why Sean Connery is even in this film. Peter Boyle? I can see him in anything really, so him being in this film is not surprising at all.

rating = D

SHE

starring : Sandhal Bergman (from red sonja and Conan the barbarian)

This has got to be one of the strangest movies of randomness I have ever seen.

The movie starts out with your main 3 characters heading into a barter town with their goods. There are plenty of things on sale from the late 70's and early 80's, such as cereal and other trinkets. I get that it's supposed to be like a fallout of the future but i don't understand why people are wearing medievil clothing. I mean if they still have boxes of Corn Flakes they should still have regular clothes.. but whatever. THEN! attack is placed instantly by characters that look like they are straight out of a TROMA film.

They steal the main dude's sister and he's off on a journey with his clumsy but action styled buddy to save her.

First they end up in Sandhal Bergman's kingdom of blonde babes in warrior costumes. A lot of things happen that don't make much sense. They kidnap Sandhal for some reason and are instantly captured by 'mutants'. A star wars scene happens and they escape the mutants with help of the babes from Sandhal's squad. She lets the main characters go even though they kidnapped her. But instead of letting them go she decides to follow them with one of her babes.

The two main characters end up in a hippie community that turns into a werewolf farm... i think. Then they escape again to find themselves in another strange mess.

This same scenario happens again and again until they find the TROMA nazi's from earlier.

I don't really know what else to tell you. I'm just as confused.

If you want to watch a movie that makes little sense with some bizarre crap going on. This is a film for you.

Rating = a confused C-
