• First Class…..


    Anyone who knows me knows I love action movies. Up near the top of my “like” list is I Am Number Four, SALT, All of the Terminator movies, X-Men and so on.

    I even love the classic early Arnold movies like Commando and Predator. Conan…..

    I was a little skeptical when I saw the teaser for X-Men: First Class…But then I saw the full trailer.

    Yep, I might have to venture into the movie theatre for that one.

    Check this trailer out:

    Remember the TV show Who’s the Boss?

    Did you watch it?

    I did. That Tony-guy cracked me up. But Angela, his boss, drove me nuts.

    But then there’s Alyssa Milano.Remember when she was in Commando?Arguably one of the worst movies out there, but yet, I can’t NOT watch it when it’s on. . . Sometimes I even stick in the DVD just to get a good laugh at the string holding Sully up when Arnold is holding him over the cliff. . .

    Oh, how I digress. . .

    Milano went on to bigger and better things, such as Charmed, and now has a line of team apparel for female baseball fansor something if I remember correctly.

    But oh. . . Who’s the Boss. . . what a show.

    CommandoSo, who remembers the action-packed movie, Commando?

    It came out October of 1985. You know, with the young Alyssa Milano ?

    Gosh I loved that movie.

    Heck, if it’s on and I’m feeling lazy I’ll cuddle up and watch it again anytime.

    Commando shootingDespite its cheesy acting and stunts…it’s still a classic 1980s memory for me.

    Did you see the string holding Sully up over the cliff? LOL.

    And we can’t forget the loving father, Arnold Schwarzenegger just trying to get sweet Jenny Matrix back from the psycho Arius.

  • MOVIE MISHAPS


    Hey, ever find mistakes in movies you watch? I love trying to do that. I know, I’m weird, but it’s fun. Kinda reminds me that no matter how hard we try to prevent it, mistakes still happen.

    Movie goofs:

    commandoCommando

    The yellow Porsche is damaged in the side collision with the red convertible, but when Matrix flips it upright and drives off in it, the side is undamaged.

    You can see the cable holding up Sully by his shoe as Matrix holds him over a cliff.

    When the family is going to the wedding, the grandparents all pile into the car.

    However, when the car is backing out of the driveway, you can see one of the grandmothers is outside of the car squatting so that she isn’t seen.

    The pancake Vivian is eating was, for most of the scene, a croissant.

    In the first scene with the pancake, she takes a second bite. In the next scene with the pancake in her hand, there is only one bite missing
