Article 99 (1992)
One that got away - great film
This film was made in 1992 but i only heard about it when i saw that it was on FX channel last night (22 Feb 2005). Ray Liotta was a goody which i'd never seen before, and he was great. The story is about low paid doctors trying their best to provide war veterans a complete medical service of treatment (including psychiatric) and operations. The hospital is overcrowded, understaffed,underfunded and under-supplied of medical provisions. The film takes us through the trials and tribulations of the underhanded tricks they pull to get provisions and perform operations on the needy Vets. The uncaring chief Administrator, wants the hospital run by the book, which does not include certain types of treatment and operations. Indeed, it seems like he doesn't think there should be patients in his hospital at all! - so of course, they have the expected run-ins with him. Plenty of famous faces as patients, a little bit of romance, humour in the right places and an exciting climax, complete this great drama - well worth watching. I'll be getting the video i think!
Equilibrium (2002)
Well worth watching for sci-fi lovers
I didn't see any cinema trailers for this and only caught it by videoing from Sky Movies in September 2004. This would have been good to see on the big screen. Described as 'Matrix' style by Sky critic, however, the storyline was easy to understand and the big fight at the end was great. Just a pity that the so-called 'emotionless' law enforcers showed emotions ie 'I aspire to be like you....' and some cynical smirks (again something i'd call an emotion). However, this did not detract from the overall enjoyment of a very good film. For the girls - there were some pretty handsome guys in it too!
