Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach 1988
Three stars mainly because there's a scene where Tackleberry pulls a gun on a shark in this one.

The Guard 2011
May have seen this one before but then again I have seen a handful of movies where Brendan Gleeson gets to put on a show. i think the better Irish writers and performers can get away with this kind of script that scrutinizes and riffs on every line of dialogue because that is kind of what talking to Irish people is like and they have had centuries to perfect a charming version of that. unlike, say, a Joss Whedon.
anyway, this is a fun one. although my non-Irish wife would probably say “this is not my idea of fun.”

But it all feels very much like its own story and set of interests; the influences are there but they don't overwhelm. Even when this one gets at its most…

The Abyss 1989
when i was growing up The Abyss was frequently cited as a big CGI breakthrough but the clips I would see were hard to compete with what I saw in Jurassic Park or Terminator 2, so I never got around to seeing it. kind of ideal circumstances to view it in expanded form on the big screen a few months after getting married. Ed Harris is a dark horse candidate for playing a wife guy who saves the planet but…
