Where did I leave off?

Above the Rim, is a so so film that stars Duane Martin, Tupac, Leon and Marlon Wayans. It has its moments. There are some great basketball moves. It's the typical story of a man with a promising career deals with the repercussions of what life presents when ones dreams fade away.

La Femme Nikita, this is the original film in which Point of No Return was based. The film is quite violent with a bit of a twist. A con gets a second chance by being made a criminal with all the right tools. From Luc Besson, the film that paved the was for film like The Professional and The Fifth Element.

Cape Fear, I've seen Cape Fear quite a few times. I believe I saw the original once after learning this was a remake. The film stars Robert DeNiro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange and Juliette Lewis who was nominated for an Oscar for her role as the naive and trouble daughter. Lots of religious references. Robert DeNiro gives a great performance. Robert Mitchum who starred in the original makes an appearance in this one. Give it a look see. Great scenes and special effects. Cinematography is tops. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
