America's Most Wanted: America Fights Back (1988–2013)

Long Live America's Most Wanted!!!

[8 February 2005]

"America's Most Wanted" (AMW) has been the fastest-growing reality crime television show that has ever been aired. Its workers have been so clever and practical on catching fugitives, finding missing persons, and solving many problems. AMW has done such an excellent and superior job that no other organization could otherwise do.

I study Criminal Justice and this show helps me to learn more about "Justice" and how it actually works. "America's Most Wanted" MUST NOT end its airing. Let this show keep on airing, forever! And remember, you can make not just one difference, but you can make many differences.

Another World (1964–1999)

Life will still never be the same without "Another World."

[29 January 2003]

"Another World" was the very first soap opera I have discovered in my lifetime. I remember when I was turning on the TV and surfing through basic channels one childhood afternoon, and there was the "Another World" opening theme with a beautiful, California-style theme playing, same with the closing theme. Then a few years later, I decided to start watching it, all the way until the airing surprisingly ended in June 1999. Shortly after that, I was so saddened, thinking "Why did this heart-warming soap opera end?" And "Why didn't it continue airing just like the other soap operas?" It used to air every weekday afternoons at 2:00pm right after "Days of Our Lives." Now, this other new lame soap known as "Passions" has taken over. Why? I still don't understand that. Whenever I think of "Another World," I also think of the really good old, addictive days and times of my life, when I had lots and lots of fun. Nowadays, things have unfortunately changed, ever since "Passions" was aired. How sad? Without "Another World," it is still not the same for me or part of my life. I now watch the other soap known as "Days of Our Lives," pretending that "Another World" would still air today. It will always be missed, until it returns someday. Maybe...

Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

The Best Sci-Fi film of 2002

[10/10 · 14 December 2002]

I have been waiting for this film to come out for almost a year and seeing it makes me feel like I'm part of the crew. I hear this could be the last Next Generation film so it meant a lot to me and the new villian Shinzon should be given an award for being the most ruthless villian in sci-fi history. Even with his radiation weapan that could kill everthing on Earth. I don't care what the reviews who are payed to say how the movie is but they shouldn't say anything bad because this is history in the making. Also RIP DATA we will miss you.

Training Day (2001)

Good, but different on the other hand...

[23 November 2002]

I couldn't believe that this film was really from the director of "The Replacement Killers (1998)." Because I saw T.R.K. as Fuqua's first work, and that had more intense action than this one, like pervasive gunfights. "Training Day" is pretty good and somewhat realistic, too; but it could have been more better and intense as a decent Los Angeles setting. Other than that, Denzel Washington plays an impressive character whenever he partners with other people. I too, give this movie an 8 out of 10.

An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)

Taylor Hackford's best work with Richard Gere! Great theme, too.

[7 October 2001]

Taylor Hackford is the same director who directed "The Devil's Advocate (1997)." Before I heard about this film, I never thought Hackford would have directed a romantic Richard Gere movie like this one. Richard Gere is one of my top favorite romantic film actors. Gere is almost my father's age; however, I don't know any other handsome, forward actors who are exactly my father's age. So I would count on Richard Gere. My father is one year younger than him, but that's all right. Why I am saying this is because whenever I am in love with someone, I would picture my own father when he was all young and doing romantic gestures like Richard Gere.

Now, about the film, rather than mentioning the real life situation (compared to this film), the ending was so good, when Richard Gere enters a factory to see his girlfriend, along with the music theme that was playing. I realized that they spoofed that scene in one of the "Simpsons" series episodes. That was the first time I have seen Richard Gere so young. I would recommend this classic to my friends, especially to my close friend who has never seen it before. "An Officer and a Gentleman" made my life live on and on and made me want to feel lots of love by my special friends, especially girlfriends. Give two thumbs up for Taylor Hackford.

Pretty Woman (1990)

Pretty Woman, walking down the street; Pretty Woman, the kind I like to meet....

[5 February 2001]

Whenever I listen to the song "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison, it always reminds me of Richard Gere, mostly when he is dealing with pretty young women regardless of what film he is in. It looked like Julia Roberts wanted to admire Gere once and for all. This movie was so fresh and clear. I liked the sharp appearances of these two lovers. Richard Gere is like the best man for all of these pretty women.

Suppose Richard Gere has a son in real life (which I think he does not), and when the time comes for his son to get married, Richard Gere would really admire his pretty young daughter-in-law. Or, if Richard Gere was my father (which he really is not, but I am just reasoning, no disrespect), he would be super happy if I got a sharp young girlfriend and/or wife and if I still become active to my studies. I would appreciate his quote and support and he would make me feel very special. He would let me deal with as many young ladies as I want to. He would really enjoy watching me as I am being surrounded by them. You know what I mean? Because probably in real life, Richard Gere likes women a lot, and because Richard Gere is one of the ladies men. He still looks so young and pleasing.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (I) (1999–2020)

So who wants to be a real millionaire?

[30 November 2000]

If you want to be a millionaire, why not join this game show. It is fun and interesting to play and explore the given questions to earn a certain amount of money. If you win a million dollars, congratulations; you can spend all that cash with many valuable items. If you lose, too bad, but keep trying. Make your final answers very clear. Regis Philbin should be the best game show host in the nation. I'll make that my final answer.

What Planet Are You From? (2000)

Go Garry Shandling!!!

[2 November 2000]

You should see good old Garry Shandling bump into these good girls in this film. I always thought he would play these kind of roles. Regardless of anything contained in this movie, it was really hilarious, especially with John Goodman and Ben Kingsley who have also joined in. The planet where Shandling is from should be considered "Planet of the Ladies Men." Period.

Bedazzled (2000)

Much Better Than I Thought!

[28 October 2000]

I though this film would contain more sensuality than they showed. Instead, it showed more and more laughs. I liked seeing Elizabeth Hurley play as a flirtatious spirit. I like to see her every time, technically in most of her movies. When I watched this film in the theater recently, I did not realize that it was a remake of the 1967 film, but I can infer this movie as the most funniest movie of 2000. I would recommend this one, too.

Romeo Must Die (2000)

The moment I've been waiting for.

[1 September 2000]

Finally, I saw Jet Li taking revenge against the crooks in this film as he plays an innocent person. Li's fighting techniques almost compare to the legendary Bruce Lee. It has some comedy in it. Though, it was pretty good. If you like martial arts, here's a new one for you.

Basic Instinct (1992)

The Most Infatuating Film of 1992. BIG DEAL!!!

[11 August 2000]

Wow, Michael Douglas had a strong infatuation by Sharon Stone. All this film talks about is flirting; however, I only enjoyed just a few good scenes when Michael Douglas was taking lots of action against the criminals, which was even more suitable to watch.

As well as this film was released in early 1992, it suddenly reminded me of that time. According to the plot, I remember when I used to be infatuated by some good-looking girls back in 1992; not by one, not two, not three, not four, but about five or more girls I was flirted by. Boy, was I so popular, charming, or what? So I liked them back as well. I could only say that these girls were making love to me.

That's how 1992 was like, this flirting film and my real infatuation society. They're just alike.

The Glimmer Man (1996)

Seagal gives a best shot!!!

[25 July 2000]

This Steven Seagal film has more punches and kicks than in any other of his films. When I saw John M. Jackson (the admiral from "JAG [1995]"), he was so unbelievable; you've got to see him movin' and movin'. Now, about Keenan Ivory Wayans, he was also a dynamic fellow in action, and funny too. Just remember next time, if you like strong physical action, this is the movie that has to do with it.

Out for Justice (1991)

Steven Seagal is the man of STEEL!!!

[16 July 2000]

This was one of the breathtaking Steven Seagal films I have ever experienced. What I like most is his kicks and his hard-hitting methods. I would recommend this movie to my good friends as well. They'll enjoy the Steven Seagal project; he is one of the strongest action-stars in the world.

Mean Streets (1973)

Mean Streets is so "MEAN!"

[14 July 2000]

Robert De Niro and Harvey Kietel acted so mean in this film; it made me think that if they had experienced bad deeds and/or hard times before. Robert De Niro is also another tough Italian-American man I enjoy while watching his other views. Everything I saw was all fighting and pervasive arguing between a group of men. At least it was not teen-like (which I don't like watching). Italian-like films are always interesting to watch, like this one.

Metro (1997)

A film that counts as a "Beverly Hills Cop" sequel.

[7 July 2000]

This film is compared to the action scenes of Eddie Murphy's "Beverly Hills Cop" films. Since a long time, I have never seen Eddie Murphy act so tough, especially while he's in action. I was so excited to see it. I always love strong action movies (as I said before). So I still do.

Face/Off (1997)

Travolta and Cage, both faced off.

[7 July 2000]

How could a person live one another's life by taking his own face off and using another person's face? For some people (while watching this film), how would you know "who is who?" I assume that in real life, there is no such thing as face-changing. This film blew me away so hard as it was making me a huge fan of it. Most of all, I prefer watching extreme fights, strong combat, and BIG KICKS! John Woo is the man! I salute that director! Face/Off is one of the best and great action movies of 1997. I would recommend this film, too.

Mission: Impossible II (2000)

A "MUST SEE" action film. John Woo RULES!!!

[2 July 2000]

I would recommend this second Mission: Impossible movie, rather than the first one. John Woo did a great job. A great great job. He gives out the toughest action films. I cannot say how much I have experienced by watching this. Secondly, I have never seen Tom Cruise fight very much. But this one, made me so amazed.

The Devil's Advocate (1997)

If I seen it once, I've seen it enough...

[8 May 2000]

To my knowledge, this film was so frightening. I couldn't even believe Al Pacino has played an evil spirit who offers Keanu Reeves his sinful deals. I like Al Pacino though, he is like a masterpiece. This film was also another of his masterpiece. I have never seen Pacino offer any ladies to anyone else before, it was a miracle when I saw it. He laughed a lot in this film (because I have never seen him laugh a lot in any other of his movies). I also liked Charlize Theron, but only with that one hairstyle when she had dark brown hair and it was combed straight. Plus she has bright eyes. That's what I like about ladies. So I would say that this film was all right. I have meant to see Al Pacino only.

The Jeffersons (1975–1985)

Sherman Hemsley is Very Hilarious!!!

[8 March 2000]

This is the most funniest, silliest, and amusing sitcom ever seen back then and now. Sherman Hemsley is my favourite character in this show, he talks kind of funny. Everywhere Hemsley is seen, it just makes me laugh a lot. I got to see him sometime next time and laugh again.

Eraser (1996)

"Erase our past to protect our future." What a tagline!

[6 March 2000]

I know what this tagline means by erasing our past and protecting our future. This means that we want a great future life, we can't go back to the past, because what's done is already DONE. Some of our past lives may have been worst, so we want to make them better in the future. Or you can say whatever things were negative in the past, we can make them positive in the future. In the future, you will have many many chances of doing activities, hobbies, etc. for your lifetime. So whenever you start a new life, put the past away for good, and say hello to the great future of your lifetime. You'll have more fun than ever, even better, too.

I was only making a social issue about this movie and its tagline. This action-packed thriller was released at the time when I was in Pakistan during the Summer of 1996. So if your past was kind of boring, why not make it better in your future? Ha ha.

My Fellow Americans (1996)

My Fellow Americans

[27 December 1999]

A comedy with politicians I see is considered real hilarious, I think I have seen this movie first time last year, this movie made me think of Florida (when this was released at that time). At the end, I almost cried, because it made me think of Florida for the whole time I was watching this.

Nothing to Lose (1997)

A "Nothing to Lose" Comedy!

[18 December 1999]

Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins go rowdy in this film. No matter how many times you watch this, it is still hilarious. I somehow keep watching this film and there is a lot of laughter still. I liked Tim Robbins more because he played a smart guy, professional too.

Desperado (1995)

Very very awful, but meant for one person.

[18 December 1999]

This Antonio Banderas view is even worst that his other action film "Assassins (1995)." I really don't enjoy Western type or old-timed setting views, I mostly enjoy present time urban action. But hey, Salma Hayek was so really really very very gorgeous in this film; wow what can I say? I love her, I love Salma Hayek so much. You know how my feelings are whenever I see her, she kind of looks like our side, but way different nationalities between me and her. Plus I think Salma reminds me of someone. So next time, if they make another Banderas movie, let's hope they make it just like the present and in the urban setting.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

"Good for you, Andy."

[18 December 1999]

Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are in a dynamic role in this film. I could not imagine a lot of innocent people inside a gigantic prison of history. When I saw Clancy Brown first time, looked so tough, he's big too. I also like Clancy's role, too. He should be a great fighter. What is good for Andy Dufrense (Robbins) is that he makes an unbelievable escape route to run away from prison, finally.

Becker (1998–2004)

Sort of a good show.

[15 December 1999]

Whenever I watch Becker, Ted Danson is always acting different than in his ex-sitcom "Cheers (1982)." Last night, when I watched a Christmas episode of this, that was so hilarious, he acted like Scrooge, then later on liked it but then screwed up. So I enjoy watching this show, too.
