In any action flick produced by Jerry Bruckheimer the good guys win.
In Con Air, Steve Buscemi (who plays the completely crazed psycho mass-murdering serial killer) does absolutely jack. He doesn’t even kill the little girl playing house.
In Armageddon, Bruce Willis sacrifices his life to save everybody else.
In Deep Impact, Tea Leoni is killed by a tsunami.
In Bad Boys, Tea Leoni wears black panties.
In Godzilla, there’s a really funny scene where G. roars really loud at Matthew Broderick, and pieces of fish are hurled at M.B. (from G.'s mouth you know), and from M.B.'s reaction you can tell G.'s breath is really foul and…
In 8MM, the snuff film is real, but Nicolas Cage kills the murderers. His sidekick (Joaquin Phoenix) dies. His wife doesn’t leave him.
In Being John Malkovich, Catherine Keener and Cameron Diaz live happily ever after with their daughter.
In Terminator 2, Arnold is the friendly terminator. The nuclear war doesn’t happen.
In The Wild Bunch, everybody dies, except the old guy with the bad teeth and the tall guy with the limp. And some mexicans.
Sergio Leone really likes extreme close-ups. No, I mean REALLY likes them. Not to keen on dialogue though.
In The Devil’s Advocate, Al Pacino really is the Devil, and Ke-Yawn-u Reeves really is his advocate.
In The Matrix, that chick in leather looks hot. And Joe Pantoliano is a traitor. And has weird facial hair.
In Bound, Gina Gershon and Meg Tilly get away with it. (They also get it on.)
In Carlito’s Way, Al Pacino is killed by John Leguizamo, but Penelope Ann Miller is pregnant with his child.
In Heat, Al Pacino kills Robert de Niro.
In Casper, there’s a scene which made me realize I’m a dirty old man. (Miss Ricci fluffing Casper as a pillow. Itty bitty titty. Mea culpa.)
In Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead, Andy Garcia dies, but leaves a message on video for his child. The mother is the hooker.
In Carrie, Carrie did it.
In Cujo, Cujo did it.
In Christine, Christine did it.
In Dolores Claiborne, Dolores Claiborne did it.
In A Perfect World, Kevin Costner is the bad guy, with a heart of gold, but dies anyway.
In The Unforgiven, no one really knows why William Munny’s wife married him. Everybody but Clint dies.
In Escape from Alcatraz, some guys escape from Alcatraz.
In Jagged Edge, Jeff Bridges did it.
In Angel Heart, the Devil made him do it.
Scream 1: that blond guy with the permanent smile & the Johnny Depp look-alike did it.
Scream 2: the guy with the camcorder & somebody’s mother (the older reporter woman).
Scream 3: the director, who turns out to be Sidney’s brother or something.
Any Friday the 13th: Jason kills the lot, except in the first one, where it’s his mother.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (50s): it’s all about communism, but in the end the world is saved.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (70s): it’s all about estrangement, but in the end the world is buggered.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (90s): it’s all about Jennifer Tilly’s and Gabrielle Anwar’s body doubles, and in the end it sucks.
All The President’s Men: apparently Nixon was behind the Watergate break-in. Imagine that!
In Wild Things, Neve Campbell set it all up.
In City of Industry, Harvey Keitel does not die.
In the X-Files, the truth is out there.
In Life of Brian, the suicide squad commits suicide. (Someone actually spoiled this one for me, one second before they committed suicide.)
In Two Days In The Valley, there must have been some kind of plot, but all I can remember is Teri Hatcher and Charlize Theron in tight clothes, fighting. Some people die. James Spader certainly does.
In Jacob’s Ladder, Tim Robbins died in Vietnam. His “life” is just a hallucination while dying.
In One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Brad Dourif gets laid and commits suicide, Jack Nicholson tries to kill Louise Fletcher (Kai Winn for all you geeks) and gets a lobotomy, the Chief smothers Jack Nicholson and escapes.
In Predator 2, during the scene in the space ship, you can see the skull of an Alien hanging on the wall. End of the discussion “Alien vs. Predator”.
Oh, Danny Glover kicks some Predator ass.
After reading back all of this, I think I really should get a life…
