Hidalgo (2004)

A "based on a true story" action movie. Pretty good.

Rating: C

Red Dawn (1984)

Yet another childhood classic ruined by a second viewing as an adult. Standards were so low back then. Was this written and directed by a teenager? The script makes no sense and the acting is abysmal. Why the hell would any invading army attack a worthless town in the boonies? And how did they get all those tanks there? I’d love to see this movie redone with a competent screenwriter and cast who can act. Hope the remake is better.

Rating: D-
