Tiger Hi-Line Entertainment Review: Tango & Cash

Now this is it! When Mrs. Timmons gave us the information on this summer internship, watching movies like Tango and Cash is exactly what I wanted to do! I don't know why they had me watching some namby-pamby thing for my first review, or why they wouldn't give me a contributor account of my own. But now I'm here, and I'm here to talk about STUFF BLOWING UP!

Sylvester Stallone plays Ray Tango. Randy Feldman, the writer of the movie Tango & Cash, did a really clever thing there- turns out that TANGO is in his own way obsessed with CASH- he dresses like a businessman with geeky glasses and trades stocks! Cash marches to his own drumline a little more; he's played by Kurt Russell. I've heard some crazy stories about how much Kurt Russell used to drink!

Well, these two make like Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan in the recent smash Cop Out. Actually its not much like that because unlike Monroe and Hodges, they don't like each other too much. Well, they're the best cops in LA, which really bugs the bad guys who set them up and put them in general population of a prison. You can't keep a good man down though, so Tango and Cash one-line their way right out of jail. Then the figure out who put them behind bars in the first place, and go kill him. Revenge is a cold dish!

I'm really glad Mr. Feldman wrote this movie. It was probably a good training point for people who wanted to write buddy movies in the future so they could learn from his script about having the characters speak only with awesome cliches that I can't wait to use if I hopefully get into a fraternity when I get to move out of my parents and go to school far, far away from Mr. Deines. I'm just kidding, I love my school! But being in college is going to be awesome. Like Ray Tango says, Rambo is a pussy!

The guys wanted me to tell you this: this fall I'll be a junior at Cedar Falls High School in Iowa. I'm going to watch some movies during summer break and tell you all about them.

Tiger Hi-Line Entertainment Review: The Pope of Greenwich Village

If you are looking for an 80s drama about guys who accidentally get themselves involved with the mafia, "The Pope of Greenwich Village" might be for you! I recently attended a screening this movie. Here is what you would be getting your self in to.

Some of you may have heard adults talk about Mickey Rourke's resurgence. You know Mr. Rourke as the big ugly guy from Sin City and also the wrestler in The Wrestler. Well, your mom and dad were right about resurgence, because once upon a time Mr. Rourke was younger and much prettier! Once upon a time he looked a little like Kiefer Sutherland (but not Kiefer Sutherland from Lost Boys. Older than that.) He will also feature in this summer's movie The Expendables. This is one of his early movies, and he plays Charlie a down-on-his-luck wannabe restauranteur with a smoking hot aerobics instructor girlfriend. She gets pregnant! That's sure to make things complicated.

But his buddy Paulie is going to make things complicated enough. Paulie is a waiter who gets Charlie fired at the start of the movie for not selling enough steak. And later, Paulie gets them in even more hot water by crossing up the mafia. Paulie is played by Eric Roberts, who was Salvatore Maroni in The Dark Knight and will also be in The Expendables. It was weird that they cast Eric and Mickey in this movie because the characters are supposed to be Italian. Except neither of them are very good at acting Italian. Especially Mr. Roberts whose facial expressions and accent would make Heath Ledger roll over in his grave. It was fun to see Mr. Roberts with a haircut my parents called a 'jerry curl' though.

The Pope of Greenwich Village suffers somewhat from being long and ambling, but it is a well made and interesting movie so you should consider watching it.

Chet Germilla is a junior at Cedar Falls High School. We are happy to have him as the official Summer of Action intern.
