95/100 Speed (movie review)

Speed (1994)


Summary: IMDB and me
A young cop must prevent a bomb exploding aboard a Los Angeles city bus by keeping its speed above 50 mph. Psychotic bomber with an axe to grind.

IMDB for cast and credits:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111257/

So I always find Keanu Reeves a little wooden but in this movie it kind of plays as brave stoicism. He is not bad. This movie is all dynamic tension as the city bus tries to stay above 50 mph in Los Angeles traffic (no kidding). I have seen this movie many times and can always watch it. The panic of the bus passengers, Dennis Hopper as the psycho bomber and the cops actions - all combine to make this very entertaining. I have always liked this movie. It is not a great film but a good, action movie with tension. Classic tension filled movie. Also - Sandra Bullock very perky in this.

Overall rating:
Good and tense.

Recommend:
I do and Keanu is not bad. Bonus points for psychotic Dennis Hopper.

Warnings:
Some gruesome stuff and violence.

97/100 True Blood (TV review)

True Blood (2012)
TV series on HBO

Summary: IMDB and me
In a world where vampires have "come out of the coffin", Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress, discovers a new world of different creatures when she meets Bill Compton, a vampire.

This season - vampires seek dominance over humans.


Website for the show:

I feel like I have to watch True Blood but I am not liking the direction of this show and what they have done with the characters. I really hope that they pull this out in the last episodes. Just wanted to put this out there. No spoilers just a statement, review, whatever. Kind of suck on True Blood this season. Only bonus is lots of shots of Alcide with his shirt off. That works for me.

Overall rating:
So so.

Recommend:
Usually I do. Not too sure.

Warnings:
Some gruesome stuff and violence.

98/100 Coma (trailer)

This looks good and creepy. I always liked the original movie with Genevieve Bujold. This one has Ridley Scott working on the project. I think it is still relevant with all the medical research they are doing.

This is on A&E.
