Uncle Tom (2020)
Uncle Tom tells it like it IS!
I'm a conservative man. I've seen many depictions of conservatives in my life, none of which spoke to me the way that Uncle Tom does! The belief in the American system, weather it's the employment system, the justice system, the political system, this movie illustrates how you can TRUST in America, BELIEVE in YOURSELF, work HARD, and you can achieve ANYTHING! Stop asking what others can do for you and find the ways that you can do for YOURSELF. The greatest principle of SELF RELIANCE is a part of the DNA of EVERY man, woman and child on the face of this Earth! This movie lays it out and shows how, dependence upon the government is just slavery by a different name. Watch it! Open your eyes, your ears, your heart and your mind to the message of this film. It can change you, but most importantly, it can make you BETTER! The best version of YOU!
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
If you like straight action & F/X, you'll love this
On the other hand, if you were looking for this movie to improve upon the outstanding Terminator experience with a good plot, don't waste your money seeing this in a theater. The film is loaded with special effects & is almost pure action from start to finish. The "New" Terminator has minor weapons upgrade, using a plasma device made from her arm, but other than that, very little changed about the new hunter, and of course, the old T-101 played by Arnold, cannot be killed until the mission is complete. If you want something better than T2, you need a different movie. If you want to see what Stan Winston & ILM have done with the T-1000 to make it the T-X, I'd still say to wait for it on DVD. Jim Cameron did not involve himself in this venture for a reason. They didn't have a script that he wanted to make a movie with & he didn't want to write one. Period!
The Phoenix (1981)
A sci-fi for the metaphysical believer
A man comes to earth, whose power stems from sunlight. In darkness he is incredibly weak, but in sunlight, he has powers & abilities that defy logic. This was such a great show when it aired, but like many other sci-fi adventures of it's time, it was left at the wayside. If this ever becomes available on tape or DVD, I'd snatch it right up. Judson Scott was a great young talent. A must see for 80's SF watchers.
K-PAX (2001)
Everything you've heard.. and more
If you saw the previews, but haven't decided to see the movie yet. Get off the fence & GO SEE IT! It will knock your socks off. Incredible performances by Spacey & Bridges. I won't ruin the movie, but if you're looking for a film to open your eyes up a little, THIS IS IT! I hope you'll agree with me, go see it!
American Pie (1999)
The TRUE story of high school life for a Michigan group of kids.
Excellent cast of characters. Some of these kids, each of us will identify with. If you haven't seen this movie yet, WATCH it! 4 sexually deprived teenage boys, band together in a pact to resolve their virginity by prom night. The fun all happens on the way & you won't believe how some of these kids "angle" to get sex. Jim leads the comedy meaning of "American Pie". The girls in the film are equally outrageous, so don't think this is strictly a guy movie. For anyone who lived through puberty, you'll definitely identify with this movie. Thumbs WAY up!
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Space Colony searches for its' lost tribe.. Earth!
A great cast of charachters, combine with several celebrity cameo's to make this slightly typical science fiction story fresh each week. The plot revolves around the destruction of the 12 colonies of mankind, by a race of machines called Cylons. The last remaining Battlestar (Galactica) is now in search of the lost 13th tribe, from it's known origin, which split from the original group & has no known location. They hold the hope that Earth will give them a base to fight their antagonists & to rebuild their own race. This series put Universal in the front of sci-fi developement for a while. Worth watching for any science fiction fans who may have missed it. You'll enjoy it a great deal.
The Horse Whisperer (1998)
A touching & emotional film
This film about the recovery of a horse & its owner, along with the romance between the mother & the trainer, is completely enthralling. Yes, the movie is a bit long, but the scenery & character development make the wait well worth it. Scarlett Johansen is a compelling teenaged girl who's suffered a trauma in a horse accident & now, while she is rehabilitating her horse, she manages to do some emotional recovery for herself. Kristin Scott-Thomas is a hyperkinetic mother, who is deeply involved in her controlling behavior. It takes Robert Redford to loosen her grip on everyone's life, but it happens. This movie is a gem. A MUST for you romance fanatics & for those of you who just need a good cry, don't miss THIS!
Der Name der Rose (1986)

This movie is not just a must see, it's a MUST OWN! You can watch this quite a few times & STILL be picking out new details. When it comes to Top of the line movies, this movie defines the term! SEE IT, or be "TERMINATED!"
The Terminator (1984)
Ground breaking Science Fiction Thriller!!!
Terminator belongs up there with Star Wars for ground breaking Sci-Fi movies. Great plot, excellent execution of special effects, great action sequences. Arnold coins the phrase "I'll be back!". Incredible cast! This movie could turn a regular (non-sci-fi) moviegoer onto the genre. I only rated it a 9 because its sequel is even better. This is TOP SHELF!! Must see!
Dune (1984)
Sci-Fi Wizardry!
