The Postman is a 1997 film starring Kevin Costner; and taking place in the near future — after an apocalyptic war.

This was one of those films that people either really liked or really didn’t. While the film came with a large price tag and it didn’t recoup it at the theater when the film was release; it was at the time considered a flop. Though over the years, the films been on almost every television station.

The film is about a now defunct United States, where Kevin Costner is a traveling actor and con, just trying to survive. At one point during the film, he finds an old Postal Worker Uniform, puts it on, and begins posing as a new Postman for the New United States Government. It just escalates from there.

Overall, it was a really good movie. Very long movie, but still good.

Budget: $80 million

Aeon Flux is a 2005 film that most people never heard of or choose not to remember. While the producers spent loads of cash on special effects and cast, they forgot one thing, to make sure the story was good. The film flopped.

It stars Charlize Theron as Aeon Flux; she’s an assassin and is supposed to kill the leader of the government. Only when she goes to do so, she seems to recognize the leader and fails to carry out her mission. Since she failed to kill her mission, now the rebels want her dead, and people come after her, etc, etc…

It’s such a banged up movie, it’s really not worth writing anymore about. Save your money and time – the films terrible.

Budget: $62 million
Director: Karyn Kusama
Starring:
Charlize Theron

Moon is a 2009 film starring Sam Rockwell. What makes this film so great; a. the story b. the very well done special effects. The story is about a company man that is on the moon finishing up a 3 year contract. Besides doing his job, all he thinks about is getting home to his wife and daughter.

The problem – he’s in an accident while checking on one of the mining vehicles and is rescued by —– himself. Or as we later learn – his clone. You’ll have to watch the film to find out the rest!

The special effects are excellent; the producers and directors took full advantage of the 2008-2009 union strikes and got work done for the film that otherwise would have cost them more than they had. The result is this beautiful film with great moon shots, special and visual effects. All done on a tiny budget.

Great film to own!

The Waterboy is one of Adam Sandler’s funniest films. It stars him, of course, as a football teams waterboy. That is until one day it is discovered that he is gifted with the ability to tackle just about anyone. Very quickly he goes from being the loser his team mocked to being one of college’s best line backers.

Adam Sandler, like all his other films, does a great job and brings a lot of funny moments. It’s really funny and something that can be watched over and over. If you haven’t seen it lately, it’s time to dust it off and watch it again.

Budget: $23 million

The Passion of Christ is a 2004 Mel Gibson film. It claims to be the most detailed film about the final hours of Jesus Christ and his crucifixion upon the cross. Well, it is detailed, that is for sure. Seemed to be at one point, just a beating movie.

Overall the film was interesting with alot of its detail recognizable from the bible. Some scenes, took a few minutes to understand what was going on, with switching between reading subtitles and watching the film.

Budget: $30 million
Director: Mel Gibson

James Caviezel
