""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 count ... "

"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 parti "

"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's almost one per minute!) without taking more than a scratch himself, you'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's cooporation the baddies kidnap his daughter. John won't stand for it it ... "

"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's because of the nature of some key deaths at the end. You think you're in trouble when a pipe pokes you in the back? Not really... not until it plunges it'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,
