Independence Day (1996)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116629/
I remember watching this in 1996 with a few friends and we had a good time at the movie theater.
Now, almost 17 (gasp!) years later, I just re-watched it on Blu-Ray and I must say that not only this movie really sucks crapola;
there are so many plot holes in it and so many things wrong with it, I wouldn't even know where to start.
Now there is talk that there are 2 sequels in the works.
After all these years, does anyone even care at all about them?
I know I sure don't!
2/5
p.s. I must say that the Blu-Ray released in 2008 was pristine and very well done.

Just re-watched Midway, one of my favorite World War 2 movies from when I was a kid.

3.5/5
Hehe!
That is not the same plane in the scene at the end of the movie when Charlton Heston was trying to land his shot up Dauntless on the Enterprise.
Video here:
if you just want to see the crash scene, skip forward to 2:47
QUOTING a comment posted at that YouTube video:
In this scene, Charlton Heston climbs into a Douglas Dauntless, takes off in a Grumman Avenger, flies, sometimes in a Vought Vindicator, sometimes in a Douglas Dauntless, makes the final approach in a Curtiss Helldiver and crashes in a Grumman Panther (a jet!).
During the same flight. He must have been extremely busy, no wonder he crashed...
At 1:42, the plane exploding after being hit by Japanese Anti-Aircraft carrier is a HE-111
Those Luftwaffe pilots sure do get around!

It sucks!
The only reason I am even giving it a 2/5 is because of:

The Train (1964)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059825/
I've been watching almost nothing but WW2 films the past two weeks.
It's fun to watch Nazis and Imperial Japaneses get killed.

Just Cause (1995)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113501/
Weak story but a strong acting by Connery, Fishburne, Ed Harris and Underwood with a supporting cast composed of Capshaw, Beatty and Travanti saves the movie.
Scarlett Johansson also stars in this as Connery's 10 year old daughter.

Red Dawn 2012
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234719/
1.5/5
This movie is a joke compared to the first one!
The first one wasn't the greatest movie ever made in the 80's but it was something special and powerful.
I was working at a movie theater when Red Dawn 1984 came out.
I remember the unexpected long lines for the movie and we had to add another auditorium to it.
We only had one print so we ran the print into the projector for Theater 1, take the end of it that came out of the projector and pull it down the hallway and fed it into the projector for Theater 2.
I can still remember seeing the faces of the people in the audience as they were leaving the theater after the last showing.
Grim faces, sad faces, shocked faces, some were even crying and weeping.
I took my girlfriend of the time to see the movie and she was crying too.
I still remember her words to me afterward:
"That is the saddest and scariest film I'd ever seen!"
That's how emotional the movie was to us.
We felt that way about the movie because we could relate to it/
Back then, we were expecting the Red Bear to come at any time and
President Ronald Reagan constantly reminded us about it.
Just like in the 50's, the U.S. population was constantly drilled on what to do in the case of a Soviet Nuclear strike on the U.S.
I doubt Red Dawn 2012 had that kind of effect on anyone in the audience at any of the movie theaters it was shown at.

To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090180/
Just watched the Blu-Ray tonight.
I've seen this movie several times before but never like this.
A beautiful pristine Blu-Ray transfer that accentuate the hues of green and orange and blue and yellow which brings the seedy underground atmosphere of the City of Angels to life.
Of all the movies that came out in the 80's, nothing symbolizes that era like this film and the movies of the time by Michael Mann and the Gibson/Pfeiffer Tequila Sunrise.
A Dark, Gritty, Violent, Compelling Lean Mean Taut Crime Thriller featuring the worst of the sordid and immoral characters on both sides of the law.
In your face photography and a stylish soundtrack by Wang Chung makes this film an under-rated gem.
Keep your eye out for Frasier's Jane Leeves as the lesbian lover of Bianca, Willem Dafoe's girlfriend.
They don't make great movies like this anymore!

Argo (2012)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1024648/
This is a great movie but still, between this and Zero Dark Thirty, I would had rather the Academy picked the latter as Best Picture.

Not watching anything right now but I was looking at some of the titles in my DVD collection and I noticed something:
Is it just my imagination or do
Gone Baby Gone http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452623/ and Mystic River http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327056/ feel like the same movie?
