Movie Reviews of Taps (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Fine Drama
Summary: 4 Stars
TAPS was filmed at the Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, Pennsylvania, where I was a cadet and graduate back in the early 70's. As alumni, we were notified of the filming that would be taking place and so I got to see some of the action going on. Naturally, I looked forward to the movie coming out and I was rewarded with a fine, suspenseful action drama. Certain scenes, like the parade formations, the formals, and the in-barracks fooling around brought me back to my cadet years. Even the run-ins with the "townies" rang true, although it never came to the brandishing of weapons. This is a fine thriller and an opportunity to see a cast of both veteran actors and future-stars perform.Movie Review: A Bit Cheesey but I Like It
Summary: 4 Stars
A cheesey coming-of-age movie about young men discovering comradeship and honor. Each is forced to decide what honor demands from him and, ultimately, it is his comrade in arms who matters most. It is not about love of country but love of each other that is the highest code which leads them to do honorable though misguided acts. Is it an anti-war movie? Is it an anti-militarism movie? Or, is it more about the ties with which we bind ourselves to our own cliches? The themes might be lost in the corney dialog but the themes are deep and meaningful despite the corn. A great movie you will find hard to resist.Movie Review: Tom Cruise IS crazy!
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this movie when it first came out. Tim Hutton and Sean Penn are brilliant. Watching all these years later, though, I find myself wondering why there are no faculty at this school. No staff, no maintenance crew, only the General and a bunch of boys. Odd. Even more odd is that I didn't even notice 20 years ago. Still, a good watch on a rainy day, even it's just to see Tom Cruise firing a machine gun out the window like a maniac and screaming, "It's beautiful, Man!!! Beautiful!!!"Movie Review: RATED R -VIOLENT TRASH
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is supposed to be rated PG. Looking for a wholesome patriotic movie with a message? Look somewhere else. This movie is pointless. It should be rated R. It is sad, extremely violent and all you take away from it is seeing young men/boys die. It really is garbage.
