From her review of Tropic Thunder:

Tropic Thunder is a movie about people filming a movie based on a Vietnam war novel written by a Mr. “Four leaf” Tayback. Pay attention because this can get confusing with all the movie talk within a movie. The actors are playing actors. Downey is playing an Australian who is playing an African American soldier. It’s utter madness. The opening scene of Tropic Thunder is the plateau of action in the movie that they’re making. All the action is obviously a fake war scene, but it has some deliciously fake injuries followed with some deliciously fake blood and guts. After that however, the action stops and the comedy takes over.

From her look back at First Blood (which some people think was Rambo I but technically wasn't)

Best line:
*Rambo sneaks up next to a passing national guard truck and jumps in, pressing a knife to the throat of the driver. The driver, shaken, looks at Rambo.

          Rambo: "Don’t look at me, look at the road. That’s how accidents happen."

Best Explosion:
Rambo blows up a jeep, which rolls into a gas station, which explodes, causing the flaming wreckage to fly into a nearby car dealership lot, wherein all the parked cars also explode.

Incoming from Comic Con: NBC's Heroes. SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Heroes episode 1 of season 3: "Villains" is packed full of everything that the fans have been craving since they aired the first season. Its action packed and chock full of plot. Enough happens in the first episode that could really be spread out into five episodes. There are more special effects, more use of everyone’s powers, and more action than the first two seasons combined. The writers really kicked it up a notch after seeing that the fans were getting bored with the second season. If the rest of the season is even half as good as the first episode then this is going to rock the socks off of everyone. It is definitely worth tuning into this upcoming fall to find out what happens.

Here’s what happens in the first episode . . . .

Rambo: First Blood Part II

Rambo III

Rambo III gives you all the action you desire and leaves you wanting nothing. In this flick we even get to see Richard Crenna kick some ass, not bad for an old guy. I have finally figured out, after three Rambo movies, why Richard Crenna is in all of them. He is Rambo’s hype man; Most of Crenna’s lines consist of things like “You don’t have to hunt Rambo, he’ll hunt you.” Or “I hope you brought a big enough supply…of body bags.” He’s the Rambo equivalent of Flavor Flav. This time, Rambo teams up with the Afghani people to fight Soviet Russia in order to save the colonel. Rambo teams up to fight alongside the very people that our American soldiers are fighting against today. One wonders why we don’t see this on TV often.

Rambo (the fourth one)

Amount of time before Rambo related action: ~ 19 mins

Best Explosion: In the middle of the jungle, there is an old world war bomb that never detonated. While running from the Burmese military (after the remaining soldiers stumble on the corpses of a few zillion of their dead comrades that Rambo took out the night before), Rambo sets up a mine on the bomb. He leads them there by tying a piece of the American woman’s shirt to the mine and then covering the mine with leaves. The Burmese dogs lead them to the shirt, confused the military picks it up and sets off the mine, also setting off the bomb. This explosion is so great that it makes when the Mothership in Independence Day blew up the White House look like a pile of pop rocks with coca-cola poured on it.

Die Hard

Despite all the gruesome shots, the most shocking scene of the whole movie comes a little later. There’s a point where Carl Winslow is standing outside, deep in contemplation. The camera pans up to a sign that shows…. Cover your children’s eyes, lock the doors, and tell your Amish friends to go home. Are you ready for this? The gas price in Los Angeles in 1988 was….74 cents per gallon. Gaaasssppp!! I know, I was scared too, but I think it was for real. If it was 74 cents in LA, it was probably 10 cents everywhere else in the world. Oh the good old days.
Back to the movie . . . .

So how many yippie-ki-yays does she bestow upon Bruce?
