<strong>Director:</strong> Mark L. Lester<br/>
<strong>Plot:</strong> Shortly after <a href=/films/34472/default.aspx style='text-decoration:underline'>The Terminator</a> wrote his name in bold neon lights across box-office grosses, this action thriller took advantage of the hitherto (almost) unexploited comic side of star <a href="/players/P___110501/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Arnold Schwarzenegger</a> and paired him with <a href="/players/P____12943/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Rae Dawn Chong</a>. Colonel Matrix (Schwarzenegger) is retired and living peaceably with his 10-year-old daughter when she is kidnapped by the henchmen of an exiled Latin American dictator. The dictator's plan is to reinstate himself in power by eliminating the president of his country, using Matrix to kill him (or he will kill the kidnapped daughter). Matrix escapes from the plane that is supposed to be carrying him to his mission and then proceeds to go from one violent confrontation to the next as he hunts down the dictator and moves to rescue his daughter. Helping him is Cindy (Chong), who has her own reasons for wanting the dictator dead. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> "John Matrix" (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a retired colonel in an elite special military unit, now lives in a secluded mountain home with his young daughter (Alyssa Milano). They have a great relationship and are living peacefully -- until a military helicopter lands on their property. On board the chopper, along with some armed soldiers, is "Matrix's" former commander, "General Kirby" (James Olsen), who informs him that the members of "Matrix's" former unit are being killed. He leaves "Matrix" and his daughter with the two armed soldiers, and, as he and his daughter are about to go back into their home, he notices some branches in a bush move. Seconds later, a man pops out of the bush and begins shooting, killing one of the soldiers and wounding the other in the shoulder. After an exchange of gunfire, "Matrix" is captured by the attackers, and learns that they have taken his daughter. He is then taken to see the ones who planned the kidnapping, the former dictator of an unnamed country (Dan Hedaya) and a former member of "Matrix's" old squad named "Bennett" (Vernon Wells), who informs "Matrix" that if he doesn't do as he is told, his daughter is dead. Along with two goons, "Matrix" is sent on his mission to kill the one who is leading the country the former dictator once lead, and is accompanied by one onto the airplane to that country. But, after killing the thug, he escapes just as the airplane leaves the ground and returns to the airport only to find the other thug hitting on a stewardess (Rae Dawn Chong). "Matrix" then forces the stewardess to follow the second thug, who eventually sees him. She, who identifies herself as "Cindy", at first thinks "Matrix" is insane and tries escape from him. But, as it becomes more and more obvious that he is telling her the truth, she begins to help him follow the clues which will, hopefully, to his daughter. There is some good action in this movie, but nothing really spectacular. Even though there is a lot of breathers between the action scenes, I think there could have been a little more action. The breathers are a bit too long for a Schwarzenegger movie if you ask me, not to mention I felt that there was not enough suspense either. But, as typical of a Schwarzenegger action movie, there are a lot of good explosions -- especially in the final battle where "Matrix" is attempting to Character development in this movie was pretty good. Most of the villains were not developed past knowing their motives. After their motives are known, they are not seen much on screen. The one with the least amount of development is "Jenny" (Milano), who, after her on-screen father goes on his mission to save her, spends most of the movie alone in a room as a prisoner. I guess Milano didn't have a lot of experience acting to have a fully developed character in this movie. In fact, she had the least amount of lines in the whole movie out of the main characters. When it comes to the music, nothing really stands out. In fact, I really didn't notice the music until the closing credits began to run. This movie is far from perfect, but it might be a good rental. However, I wouldn't put it on your "Must See" list.<br/>

      <title>Spout Post: 10 Movies for Republicans</title>

<strong>Body:</strong> Earlier this week, I recommended 10 movies for Democrats to watch. So, to balance things out and hopefully show a lack of bias, I’ve now selected 10 recommendations for Republicans, too. This was actually the more difficult task, because there are so many classic films that display conservative values — and in the 1980s alone, I think there were about a billion films promoting relatively right-wing lifestyles and ideas. Therefore, I’ve limited my picks to the last two decades, except for one underrated gem that left me with quite an impression as a boy.

The Dark Knight (2008)
Some said Batman is Bush, others said Cheney, but either way this past summer’s superhero blockbuster resonated with certain conservatives who saw the film as something of an argument about — if not apology for — the actions of the current administration. Similarly, this summer’s Hancock and Iron Man have been read as being particularly relative to Republican politics.

We Were Soldiers (2002)
At first it was shocking to me that John McCain’s pick for best Vietnam movie is this overly dramatic disappointment from director Randall Wallace, which stars Mel Gibson. Then I realized that it’s one of the few Vietnam movies without a completely negative slant on the conflict. In fact, it portrays an official U.S. victory, making it somewhat optimistic compared to technically better films like Platoon and Apocalypse Now.
Primary Colors (1998)
This veiled depiction of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign is hardly one-sided, and it’s certainly not intended to be a political attack in the way Oliver Stone’s upcoming W. is, but it’s the perhaps the closest thing Republicans have to a parallel to W., Nixon, Dick and other lampoons of GOP presidents.
Commando (1985)
Here it is, the one recommendation produced prior to the mid-90s, and with good reason. When I was a kid, this movie made me think guns and other weaponry were the coolest things in the world. I had the Commando action figure, which made G.I. Joe look like a total wimp, and I celebrated such accessories as the Bowie knife and the rocket launcher. While plenty of films from the ’80s feature lots of arms, and many of these movies are about rogue missions of vengeance and/or rescue, for some reason it was this specific movie that resonated most. Between my love for this and Red Dawn, I’m shocked that I didn’t grow up to be a member of either the NRA or the GOP.
Juno (2007)
This is an obvious choice due to all the Juno/Juneau jokes that came with the Bristol Palin baby news, but despite its relevancy to current events, the movie was already somewhat embraced by conservatives who saw Juno’s decision not to have an abortion as a slighty pro-life statement.
Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)
Another movie that the Palin clan reminds me of is this loose remake and its sequel, as well as the similarly remade giant-family comedy Yours, Mine and Ours. The worlds these films exist in have apparently never heard of abortion or birth control of any kind.
Independence Day (1996)
I doubt that in such a worldwide alien attack that the U.S. will have the best method of response, but anyway, this nationalistic sci-fi movie is a perfect fantasy for Republicans who think counter-offensive measures are as easy as destroying all known elements of an enemy’s connecting cell structure and then calling it certain victory. I always wonder how long it takes after the credits roll for another organization of ships, all with better operating systems, to arrive and successfully destory us all.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
I understand the intention of co-writer/director Roland Emmerich (who also made Independence Day) was to portray the possible effects of global warming, but the resulting plot is so ridiculously exaggerated that to me it hurt the cause more than helped it. For Republicans who don’t believe in global warming or think it’s not as drastic as some make it out to be, this is appreciable as just another fantastic disaster movie with stunning effects and a mindless story. If you’d rather see a disaster movie that’s the gospel truth — literally — check out Left Behind: The Movie instead.
Mr. Deeds (2002)
The Democrat list features Frank Capra’s original, so I thought it fair to give Republicans the crappy remake. Aside from meaning it as allegory for how far Republican ideals have fallen, I also intend the selection as recognition of Adam Sandler’s political influence (see Eric Kohn’s argument on the matter). I don’t want to spoil the ending, which comes off as Capra by way of Reagan (who of course was a fan), but I will say its rather unfortunate how Deeds spends his money in this version.
Death of a President (2006)
Maybe you don’t like the idea of seeing your leader assassinated, but just think how the Bush haters feel when they see the consequences of his death. This is your movie, Republicans, because regardless of the reveal at the end, the faux documentary can still be used to support arguments in favor of the PATRIOT act and other such post-9/11 conservative agendas.

<strong>Body:</strong> So this past Saturday I needed something to do, and with no new DVDs lying around I decided to see what was on On Demand.  This cable service has many free movies that are over 10 years old, and I decided I was in the mood for a mindless action movie.I hit the jackpot.  Commando, starring Arnold fresh off the sucess of The Terminator and a young, innocent  Alyssa Milano, is a pure action flick with a little family sentiment thrown in, but little else.  If you want to see Arnold kill more than 80 baddies (that&#39;s almost one per minute!) without taking more than a scratch himself, you&#39;ll love the premise.Schwarzenegger plays ex-marine John Matrix who wants nothing more than to retire in peace with is young daughter by his side.  This dream is shattered when an ex-dictator of a Latin American country decides he needs Matrix to help him regain power by killing the current leader.  To ensure Matrix&#39;s cooporation the baddies kidnap his daughter.  John won&#39;t stand for it it of course, letting neither civilians, rent-a-cops, or real cops stand in his way.Matrix then goes on a killing spree, loading up on assault rifles, grenades, even rocket launchers and killing or pounding anyone who gets in his way.  For most of the movie this means most of his enemies are not actually bad guys, but cops and others that get in the way of his goal.  After all, Matrix&#39;s thinking is that nobody can or will stop him from getting his daughter back, especially innocent bystanders.The action is over the top and comical.  It tries not to be but turns out to be more of a comedy than a straight action movie.  Arnold delivers plenty of one-liners, and when he gets in trouble, his trusty sidekick Cindy (who he teams up with by chance) is there to rescue him with both her womanly touch and mad rocket launcher skills.  (One of the best scenes is when she shoots the first rocket backwards).  The evil dictator&#39;s army seems ridiculously large, yet never manages to hit our hero, but instead run by scores to their death. I&#39;m sure there&#39;s more I could complain about, but it all points to the same conclusion.  The whole premise and execution is terrible, but it&#39;s so bad it starts to become good again.  It was entertaining to watch, but this doesn&#39;t warrent a positive rating. 3/10 <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Until the last 20 minutes, I was trying to figure out how Exit Wounds got its title.  Some deep play on words like one of the bad guys introduced would be named John Exit?  No, it&#39;s because of the nature of some key deaths at the end.  You think you&#39;re in trouble when a pipe pokes you in the back?  Not really... not until it plunges it&#39;s way through your mid-section and squirts out your belly button because you were falling from a helicopter onto a rooftop.  Or a needle inserted into your throat?  Not such a big deal when performed at a hospital to a cancer patient.  But it does some damage when running face-first into a needle protruding from a wall and having it alter your hairline on the back of your neck.So what else is important about Exit Wounds?

Some deep play on words like one of the bad guys introduced would be named John Exit?  No, it&amp;#39;s because of the nature of some key deaths at the end.  You think you&amp;#39;re in trouble when a pipe pokes you in the back?  Not really... not until it plunges it&amp;#39;s way through your mid-section and squirts out your belly button because you were falling from a helicopter onto a rooftop.  Or a needle inserted into your throat?  Not such a big deal when performed at a hospital to a cancer patient.  But it does some damage when running face-first into a needle protruding from a wall and having it alter your hairline on the back of your neck.So what else is important about Exit Wounds?  Definitely the star-power cameos of Bruce McGill and Bill Duke.  These guys bring the combined credibility of Commando, Predator, Action Jackson, Bird on a Wire, Cliffhanger, Timecop, and many episodes of MacGyver.</spout:body></item>
