Even though I had seen this before I put it on late in the evening and ended up watching the whole thing keeping me up until past 1 am.  

Great movie and I think one of Cruise's better performances. As thrilling as the action was, just as fascinating were the discussions in the cab between Vincent and Max as they psychoanalyzed each other while passing the time, traveling from one hit to the next. The third kill, was totally unexpected the first time I watched it and a very memorable scene for me.

Michael Mann is masterful at telling stories of men who have been pushed to their limits and finally push back which Jamie Foxx's character does here and like James Caan did in Thief.

Loved how it ended, with Vincent which was the very event he spoke about with such derision not long after getting into Max's cab.

Re-Animator, a review by Jimmy

Title: Re-Animator (1985)

Genre: Horror
Director: Stuart Gordon
Rating: NR
Length: 1h26
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Jeffrey Combs
Bruce Abbott
Barbara Crampton
David Gale
Robert Sampson

Plot:
A dedicated student at a medical college and his girlfriend become involved in bizarre experiments centering around the re-animation of dead tissue when an odd new student arrives on campus.

No need to say a lot about the film since it's a classic... perfect cast chemistry, excellent special effects, a very catchy and recognizable theme by Richard Band and a perfect mix of horror and comedy.

Highly recommanded and if you have never seen it what are you waiting for?

The X-Files Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

5. The Jersey Devil
Original Air Date: October 8, 1993
The agents investigate a series of murders thought to be committed by a half man half beast dubbed the 'Jersey Devil'.

Guest Stars:
Claire Stansfield as Jersey Devil
Wayne Tippit as Det. Thompson
Gregory Sierra as Dr. Diamond
Michael MacRae as Ranger Peter Boulle
Jill Teed as Glenna

My Thoughts:
Another excellent episode. Though this one may be because I am from New Jersey... and I am familiar with the legend of The Jersey Devil... though the show did take their liberties with the legend. I must admit I got a kick out of the discussion Mulder had with Scully's old professor. And that date Scully went on just looked painful.

My Rating:
