Objectively speaking; reading mountains worth of negative flack from the public, they hail Gangland the worse movie of all time. Back the truck up! Plan 9 from outer space is the worse. Gangland is a mere B movie pales in jurisdiction to Plan 9 a Z movie. Plan 9 is worse because for bad effects, like you can see the lines that holds up planets and what not. So comparing Gangland this movie is a step up.

Gangland has a decent plot, a post-apocalyptic world after nuclear fallout (sort of like Detroit today lol)which lead to a plague outbreak, and a doctor found a cure. He has to bring the cure to Phoenix but Gangland (gang) captures him and forces him to develop it for Lucifer (Leader of Gangland). Jared, Derek and Alexis sought out to save the doctor and kill Lucifer and bring the doctor to Phoenix.

But they didn't execute the movie too well, they could elaborate on the war and how the plague was set in by it. They added another Gangland made of muscle, he added zilch to it, for being pumped up of super steroids and DNA from the best soldiers, the monster doesn't hit as well. Stuff like being whipped for hours, Jared doesn't have lacerations on him, amazing! And the movie finished fast with a "Cliffhanger" feeling to it, but there is no sequel to it.

Conclusion: My favorite actor Sasha Mitchell in this movie. Nice to see his Cody Lambert persona in it. The protagonist weren't too bad, the antagonist stunk. This movie isn't too bad at all, but it is a B movie, what do you expect? Cody Lambert in a knight armor on a white horse saving the day?

Acting: 5/10 Plot 7/10 Execution: 2/10 Fighting: 4/10 MY Total: 18/40 = 45% which puts it 4/10 , 45% on a Metacritic scale would make this film bad.

The Premise: A government agent is tracking what he believes to be a rogue android on a killing spree, disguised as a substitute teacher. That teacher is John Bolen, who arrives at a new high school to implement deadly discipline.

The conclusion: People may not like this movie, but it has some good moments. Sasha Mitchell is a charismatic figure on screen. he is imposing and fun to watch whether he plays an Italian, an airhead fun dude on a classic TV show or this. The supporting cast were good too. The writing could use more and acting could been better.

Spoiler alert. A substitute teacher shows up killing delinquents. A somebody is out to track him thinking it is the a surviving robot teacher from the 1st movie. Meanwhile a female teacher is testifying on a student who hassling or harassing or bullying her into not to. The climax is at a paint ball war games where John Bolen is doing a killing spree but the bully is out to kill the female teacher. A twist, John Bolen is not a killer robot but a demented kid of the creator of the robot. He eventually gets blown up in a bunker and all is good but with a twist at the very end.

This movie would be rated R, a nudity sex scene and blood and violence.

Home Improvement was a real sitcom with real issues. It has gut-busting laughter with a touch of touchy reality. The premise of the show is about Tim Taylor and his family. Tim host a local cable TV show called "Tool Time." with the serious, knowledgeable Al Borland as assistant and Tool girl "Lisa" (Pam Anderson pre - Baywatch. Season 1 and 2), and Debbe Dunning )Season 3-8). The show is set in a Detroit suburb before the "Decline of Detroit."

Tim (Tim Allen) grew up without a father who died when he was 10, so he practically raised his brother. It is derived on his real father who died from drunk driving in real life. Because he raised in a all male setting, that where his manhood took hold. He "learn?" how to use tools and build stuff and improve stuff. But his flaw is he uses "more power." which ruins the project or kills the tools. And he can be clumsy. A lot of jokes a based on Tim's antics.

Jill (Patricia Richardson) was raised in a military family, she didn't have much of a childhood as she moved to a lot of houses. Tim had all brothers Jill had all sisters. But she learned to put on a tough face due to the military background. She is sensible, frumpy plain suburban housewife. Her quality eventually sized Tim Man-Ego down.

Brad (Zachary Ty Bryan). The oldest child. Going though puberty, he experience angst where Tim helped him though it by using tools and creating, not destroying. He grew up being athletic, being a soccer pro. And into girls.

Randy (Johnathan Taylor Thomas). The Middle child. He wasn't into sports or cars like Tim, but he has more qualities of the mother. He is sweet like mother, funny like father.

Mark (Taran Smith). The youngest child. Grew up as a "Weakling" picked on by Randy and Brad. Learned karate to gain confidence. Then in his tween to teen years became goth and dark.

The 3 boys is perceived as a typical suburban family.

Wilson (Earl Hindman) Neighbor. Running gag where he hides his face. But offers Tim some helpful, sage advice though quotes and situations of ancient and historic people. Then Tim screws up the quotes when he tries to apply it into correcting (His or other people's) mistakes

As the show grew, the setting grew, Harry's hardware store was introduced Harry and Delores was introduced. Tim's brothers came in and Jill's sister and mother/father. Then in season 8, Randy moved to Costa Rica when Johnathan bowed out to pursue a movie career. So Heidi (Debbe Dunning) started to have more role into the show. Al Borland (Richard Karn)also had more influence into the show, becoming Tim's friend.

This show was one of the best shows in the 90s. I am appalled at the negative reviews saying that Tim's or Jill's character was annoying, but if Tim was a sensitive easy to get along, you think the show would last as long as 8 season? Or become number 1 at one point? This show had the laughs. But also has the reality of growing up, like the time Randy has a cancer scare, but it's hyperthyroidism. It can make you laugh, it can make you cry. It can be serious and also hilarious. Today's sitcoms don't have this formula. Because of the elements, it lasted 8 seasons, and still enjoyable to watch today.

First off this movie lacks cast. With 2 of 4 original cast in this final Jeannie update. Barbara Eden looking fabulous for a immortal genie. And lovable Roger reprise their roles of the classic 60s sitcom. Hayden Rorke who played Dr Bellows passed away in 1987 and Larry Hagman spending last 13 years of Dallas on vacation. This movie lacks the depth the characters made Jeannie. Having no Tony for Jeannie is just wrong, it's what make Jeannie and Tony tick.

Having said this, they try fill in the gap by updating the feel towards the 90s. There are 2 plots. Main plot: Tony is unaccounted for 3 months and Jeannie must look for him, and Jeannie 2 reminds the head of Genies that Jeannie must look for Tony or find a temporary master or send back to Babylon with the influence of Jeannie 2 to prevent this from happening. Sub-plot, her son got kidnapped by Jeannie 2 to divert her search for Tony, and the son broke free but got kidnapped again by 2 thieves. I find the movie somewhat enjoyable, but not mind blowing.

I am a fan of Sasha, from Cody to David Sloane. But this was his first full featured film. I can tell Sasha was a breakout and good actor from this movie. He plays Spike, an Italian decent aspiring boxer who takes a shine to a Mafia daughter, Angel gets her pregnant.

But the Mafia father played by the recently late Ernest Borgnine doesn't like Spike being with his daughter uses his Mafia ways to keep them apart, meanwhile Spike life in Bensonhurst went downhill.

So he makes his life in Red Hook by the Battery Tunnel, a heavy Puerto Rican rundown neighborhood. Befriends Bandana (Rick Aviles - Willy Lopez on Ghost) and starts another life in Red Hook. He meets India takes a shine to as well and eventually got her pregnant. So he is torn between two ladies.

Even Sasha's fake Italian accent is cheesy, but he makes it work. One final thing, the movie moves too quickly paying little attention in the storyline so this is why I make it a 7. It has potential.

Kickboxer 3 takes David and Xian on a trip to Brazil for a tournament. The pair befriends a local boy and his sister who try and steal their camera. They team up and the boy show the pair Rio. While on there, they meet a ruthless player (Lane) who steals women and sell them to buyers, who has his eyes on the boy's sister and takes her. The 3 of them are on a quest to save the girl. But got caught, forcing the player (Lane) to put David Sloan on an extensive training to wear him down to gain inside info to bet his life work against Sloan for the Tournament.

This movie is probably my favourite of the series. Everyone expect Kickboxer to be a fighting action film, but I think it leans more of an adventure film, it works really well. The Brazilian backdrop gives it some character. I would recommend for a family to see.
