Mad Tiger Movie Review

I went and watched Fireproof today starring Kirk Cameron as firefighter Caleb Holt and Erin Bethea as his estranged wife Catherine. This is a faith-based film brought to you by the same people who made the film Facing the Giants.

Lt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it's his natural instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it's another story.

After a decade of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's dad asks his son to try an experiment: The Love Dare.

While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents' newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God's love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that's no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke?

Facing the Giants was a movie that made me cry and I have to admit this film made me cry too. If you don’t mind a faith-based film, this one is a must see. I give it 5 tiger paws.

I couldn’t help myself today. I went and watched The Lucky Ones starring Tim Robbins as Cheever, Rachel McAdams as Colee and Michael Pena as TK. I wanted to see how a very vocal anti war protester (Robbins) would portray our Vetrans in a film like this.

The story revolves around three soldiers; Colee, TK and Cheever who return from the Iraq War after suffering injuries and learn that life has moved on without them. They end up on an unexpected road trip across the U.S., with Colee on a mission to bring her boyfriend's guitar back to his family because he saved her life, TK seeking confidence to face his girlfriend after a shrapnel injury that threatens his sexual function and middle-aged Cheever planning to hit the casinos in a desperate effort to pay for his son's college.

At one point in the film a person asks the 3 soldiers what were they fighting for in Iraq and the answer was, “To stay alive.” I think that misses the whole point. But all things considered it wasn’t a bad film. I give I 3 tiger paws.

Mad Tiger Movie Review

I went and watched Eagle Eye today starring Shia BaBeouf as Jerry Shaw, Michelle Monaghan as Rachel Holloman, Billy Bob Thornton as Agent Thomas Morgan and Rosario Dawson as Zoe Perez.

Jerry Shaw (LaBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Monaghan) are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move. As the situation escalates, these two ordinary people become the country's most wanted fugitives, who must work together to discover what is really happening and more importantly, why.

This movie is almost non-stop action. It is scary the way technology is used against the people in this film. I liked this film. I give it 4 tiger paws.

McCain Suspends Campaign to Help With Bailout
by FOXNews.com
Wednesday, September 24, 2008

John McCain will suspend his presidential campaign Thursday and has asked to postpone his debate Friday with Barack Obama so the two senators can return to Washington to help negotiate a Wall Street bailout, an approach that Obama promptly rejected.

“America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system,” McCain said in mid-afternoon remarks to reporters in New York. “If we do not act, every corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen.”

(Read the full story here.)

The Liberal Media is trying to spin this decison by McCain and say McCain is posturing with this decision. Well I got news for you Liberal Media; it’s NOT political. Its the fact that McCain wants what is best for this Country above what he wants for himself. What is best for this Country is something that the Democrats and Republican politicians have seemed to forgotten with their politics as usual bullshit.

I am hearing reports of another Great Depression on the morning news. Can our Congress put politics aside and prevent this from happening as John McCain has? I doubt it.

In my opinion, with this decision, John McCain has proved he is ready to be President and will make decisions based on what is best for this Country and not politics as usual.

And that is how I see it.

Berlusconi's allies demand ban on building new mosques, fe aring advent of 'Eurabia'
By Daily Mail Reporter

New mosques may soon be banned in much of Italy.

The anti-immigration Northern League party - political allies of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi - is piloting a bill through parliament to impose strict regulations that will effectively block the construction of nearly all mosques.

Estimating that permission for a new mosque or prayer hall is granted somewhere in the centre of world Catholicism every four days, Northern League parliamentarian Andrea Gibelli said: 'I consider this to be an unfettered colonisation of our culture.'

I went and watched Ghost Town today starring, Ricky Gervais as Dentist Bertram Pincus, Greg Kinnear as the ghost Frank Herlihy and Téa Leoni as Frank’s widow, Gwen.

He sees dead people... and they annoy him. Bertram Pincus, is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen. That puts Pincus squarely in the middle of a triangle with spirited results.

While sometimes predictable, this romantic comedy is still endearing. I liked this one. I give it 4 tiger paws.

It had to happen eventually. I am a woman after all. I watched the Chick Flick, The Women today.

With stars like, Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Bette Midler, Candice Bergen, Cloris Leachman and Carrie Fisher in it you know it has to be good.

In New York City's modern whirl of fashion and publishing, Mary Haines seems to have it all--a beautiful country home, a rich financier husband, an adorable 11-year-old daughter and a part-time career creating designs for her father's venerable clothing company. Her best friend, Sylvie Fowler, leads another enviable life--as a happily single editor of a prominent fashion magazine, a possessor of a huge closet of designer clothes and a revered arbiter of taste and style poised on New York's cutting edge. But when Mary's husband enters into an affair with Crystal Allen, a sultry "spritzer girl" lurking behind the Saks Fifth Avenue perfume counter, all hell breaks loose. Mary and Sylvie's relationship is tested to the breaking point while their tight-knit circle of friends, including mega-mommy Edie Cohen and author Alex Fisher, all start to question their own friendships and romantic relationships as well.

I liked this one. I give it 4 tiger paws.

Mad Tiger Movie Review

I guess I have been bored lately and have gone to see a movie every day for the last 3 days.

I went and watched Babylon A.D. today starring Vin Diesel as Toorop, Michelle Yeoh as Sister Rebeka and Melanie Thierry as Auroa. In the near future, Toorop (Vin Diesel) is a mercenary who takes the job of escorting a woman named Aurora from Central Asia to New York. While he thinks this is just an ordinary mission, he gradually finds out that his guest is carrying twins that have the potential to become the next Messiahs - and everybody wants to get their hands on them.

This movie is like Riddick meets the 5th Element all rolled into one. If you are a Vin Diesal fan, you will like this one.

I give this movie, 3 and half tiger paws

I went and watched Bangkok Dangerous (not to be confused with the 1999 version) today.

Hitman Joe (Nicolas Cage) goes to Bangkok on an assignment to kill four people. He hires pickpocket Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm) as his assistant and meets a beautiful mute girl along the way.Joe is given the contract by Bangkok gangsters who communicate with Joe through Kong and a dancer who becomes romantically involved with Kong.Joe breaks his own rule of not getting involved with people on his missions and takes Kong under his wing because he sees Kong as a younger version of himself.

I usually like Nicolas Cage movies. I give this one 3 and half tiger paws.

I went and watched Burn After Reading yesterday starring George Clooney as Harry Pfarrer, Francis McDormand as Linda Lizke, Brad Pitt as Chad Feldheimer, John Malkovich as Osborne Cox and Tilda Swinton as Katie Cox. A disk containing the memoirs of a CIA agent ends up in the hands of two unscrupulous gym employees who attempt to sell it.

I went to see this movie as the trailers represented this movie as being funny and it does have Big Name Stars in it. While our government does have its problems, I find nothing funny in a movie that represents our CIA and other Government Bureaus as all cheating on their spouses, killing civilians and the government covering it all up. While some in the audience at the Cinema where I watched this movie laughed during this film, I just didn’t get the jokes.

I didn’t care for this film. I give it 1 tiger paw.

Democrats Sink To New Low

I have been really apathetic this Presidential election. The campaigning has gone on too long. But this time, I have to say something.

It looks like the Democrats have sunk to a new low. The Democrats have been doing this ever since the Clinton’s implemented “Scorched Earth” where they checked into the backgrounds of their political enemies and broadcast any digression through their allies the Liberal Media to cover President Clinton’s multiple infidelities. But this time the Democrats have decided to bring a candidate’s children into the mix. Shame! Shame!

Sarah Palin, McCain’s running mate has been called a bad mother because her daughter, age 17, is pregnant out of wedlock. The media has even attacked, Palin’s daughter. The Democrats are acting like Palin’s daughter is the first teen that has ever become pregnant out of wedlock.

I wonder how the media and these Liberal Democrats would feel if their children were put under such scrutiny? I also want to know why it is only wrong when it’s a Republican that has something like this happen in their family and it’s ok if it is a Democrat. Besides, what business is it of anyone’s anyway? Wasn’t it when President Clinton was getting blowjobs in the Oval Office, that the Democrats said that someone’s personal (sex life) was no one’s business? Or is it another case where it is only ok for Democrats and not for Republicans?

I also find it very revealing that Women’s Rights Groups are joining into the fray and attacking Sarah Palin who is a woman running for Vice President. Here again we see that it is only ok if it is a Democrat and not a Republican.

I liked John McCain’s statement earlier this week when he said, it’s not time to be Democrat or Republican but to be Americans. It seems to me that Democrats are so hungry for power that they forget they are Americans first. It seems to me that Democrats just want power above what is right for this country.

And that is how I see it.
