Armageddon, a review by addicted2dvd

Armageddon
From the blockbuster-making team who produced and directed 'The Rock' comes the biggest movie of 1998 - 'Armageddon'! Starring the explosive talents of Bruce Willis ('Die Hard'), Academy Award winners Ben Affleck ('Good Will Hunting') and Billy Bob Thornton ('Sling Blade'), Liv Tyler ('Inventing the Abbots'), Steve Buscemi ('Con Air') and Will Patton ('Inventing the Abbots'), 'Armageddon' is a meteor storm of action-adventure moviemaking that has you on the edge of your seat forgetting to breathe!

When NASA's executive director, Dan Truman (Thornton), realizes the Earth has 18 days before it's obliterated by a meteor the size of Texas, he has only one option - land a ragtag team of roughneck oil drillers on the asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. Spectacular special effects, laugh-out-loud humor, great characters, riveting storytelling and heartfelt emotion make 'Armageddon' an exhilarating thrill ride you'll want to experience like there's no tomorrow.

My Thoughts:
Ok I figured this one takes place in space there about half the movie so I would include it. This is a movie I have always enjoyed. I have heard a couple things online about this movie... about half the people seem to hate it. Or as I have been reading a lot lately is that people are enjoying it although it is awful heavy on US patriotism.  And even though I never really thought about it before I can see their point about the patriotism. Lets face it... this is a movie you can't take too seriously. I mean this is little more then a leave your brain checked at the door pop-corn movie. You have some real characters in this movie. In my opinion it is just fun to watch... no more and no less.

I originally bought this film for to reasons. First of all the plot piqued my intrest. And then there is the fact that it stars Lucy Hale... who I liked since she played the little sister of Jaime Summers in the short lived reboot of Bionic Woman. After watching it I found a fun and entertaining film. Though the one thing I found to be a bit over the top is the smiles that are supposed to look evil and spooky.They only came across as cheesy. But over all I really enjoyed this one. Worth the time put in to watch it.

Wonderfalls Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

2. PINK FLAMINGOS
Too many voices telling her what to do results in Jaye backing the family car over her father, then causing a high school classmate's husband to have a car accident.

My Thoughts:
Another fun episode. This one Jaye helps an old classmate she hates to put together their high school reunion. Which is of course against her character.... but the stuffed bass on the wall told her she had to... so what could she do?

My Rating:
