YES!

ACTION-ADVENTURE MOVIES!


Americans love Action and Adventure!

We can't help ourselves.....we are not a Passive Society.

We Love to see Results.....We admire people who get Results!

We can't stand Weaklings, Wimps and Whiners.

We admire people who have Guts and won't run away from Challenges..... These are the ones we call Heroes!

That's why we enjoy seeing Heroes on film.....because we're surrounded by Weaklings, Wimps and Whiners in our everyday lives.

Predator is a Personal Favorite of mine! My Dad Loved it too!

I always watched Arnold Schwarzenegger's Action-Adventure Movies as a kid!


Die Hard — Bruce WillisMoviegoers have this sick craving to experience the fun, violence and sex that we will never EVER experience in our lifetimes.

We can't help ourselves.

You see, I don't go to see Action-Adventure Movies for the Reality!

I get enough Reality at my job...as I'm sure you do too.

Movies with lots of action are always among the Top Movies of the year as far as ticket sales are concerned.

They may not get the best critical reviews.....
but we don't care what some whining movie critics think.

Kiss My Ass, Pansy Movie Critic Roger Ebert!

Danny doesn't take advice from Girlie-Men Like You!

Danny likes his Action-Adventure Movies to have Tons of.....


• Loud Explosions,


• Violent Gun Fights with the occasional Knife Fight and


• Super-Hot Girls wearing Bikinis, Mini-Skirts, Wet T-Shirts.....


and, most importantly.....


• Super-Hot Girls Wearing NOTHING AT ALL!


We don't watch Action-Adventure Movies expecting to see some kind of once in a lifetime mind-altering experience....like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

We don't want to watch yet another movie based on Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet.

We don't want to watch yet another movie based on A Christmas Carol. Scrooge is really mean in the beginning and then becomes really nice in the end....THE END!


Rambo Part II — Sylvester-StalloneNO! NO! NO!

We want to see more movies with Huge Explosions....like in Die Hard! We can't get enough of that stuff....we are a nation of Firebugs!

We want to see Exciting Car Chases....like in The Fast And The Furious!

We want to see bullets flying everywhere....like in Commando and Rambo Part II!

We want to see fist fights that last longer than any Real Fist Fight possibly could....like in Road House!



"Don't Forget....."

Check out Danny's Review of the Brand New....

RAMBO!



Danny also has a Favorite Female Action Movie Star....and her name is
Pam Grier!




"Most Action Heroes Today Are Pussies Compared To The Action Heroes
Of The Past"



Having the Cool Anti-Hero get involved in a shootout at a Strip Joint used to be a requirement of all Action Movies.

It was what Horny Teenagers like Danny looked forward when we were young.....while watching late-night HBO without Parental Supervision!

We weren't interested in Plot Points or Character Development!

We wanted T & A.....and Bullets!

Unfortunately, that is now a thing of the past for Mainstream Movies..... you might still be able to find Strip Joint Shootouts on some of those Cheesy Direct-to-Video Crappy Action Movies!

Now that Male Action Stars have become "Feminized" in Modern Action Movies, they prefer to go to therapy and talk out there problems.


Unless they're talking with their FISTS and with their GUNS.....

.....Danny DOESN'T Give A Shit What They Have To Say!


Danny Loves to let his Fists to the talkin' in Most Situations!

Danny enjoys handing out a Large Doses of Thunder (Right Fist)
and Lighting (Left Fist) to guys who get in Danny's Way!

Thunder & Lighting know how to "Bring Da Pain" when Necessary!


Dirty Harry — Clint EastwoodNow here are the Great Action Movie Heroes that We All Should Worship and Imitate:


Harrison Ford — Indiana Jones Series


Clint Eastwood — Dirty Harry Series


Lee Marvin — The Dirty Dozen


Charles Bronson — Death Wish Series


Bruce Willis — Die Hard Series


Steve McQueen — Bullitt


Nick Nolte — 48 Hrs.


These Guys Solved ALL Their Problems.....by Shooting Those Problems
FULL OF BULLETS!


That's It.....Problem Solved!


Spider-Man — Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Sam RaimiToo many Male "Action Movie Heroes" in Action Movies today are just Plain SISSIES!!!

END OF STORY!

I'm talking to you, Tobey Maguire!

You are NOT The Spider-MAN!

You are The Spider-WIMP!


Hey, Peter Parker.....

Why don't you send Mary Jane over to my place.....so that I can show her what a REAL MAN looks like!






"Danny Grew Up Watching Globe Trotting Action-Adventure Movies"



Lara Croft - Tomb Raider, Angelina JolieI Love Action-Adventure Movies whose story takes the viewer All over the World!

Through the Ruins of Egypt and through the Jungles of South America.

Through the Glaciers of Antarctica and through the Mountains of Asia.

Through the Streets of Paris, Rome and London.

Through the Natural Wonders that are located within the United States!

So far, I have not been able to travel around the world as I would like to.....but seeing these great locations in the context of a Great Adventure story is a really fun experience for me.

Yes.....it's my dream to travel the world and have exciting adventures just like in my Favorite Action-Adventure Movies!

I want to be like Lara Croft.....minus the Boobs!


I remember watching old Action-Adventure Movies back on The Disney Channel in the 1980's....this was back when The Disney Channel used to show Quality Programming!

Moby Dick - Gregory PeckMovies like:


• Treasure Island


• Davy Crockett


• 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea


• The Black Hole


• Moby Dick
(with Gregory Peck)





Raiders of the Lost Ark — Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, John WilliamsIf you watch these movies today, you will notice that the special effects are definitely old and dated.

But when I was a kid, I couldn't get enough of these movies.

Today, Action-Adventure Movies are much more sophisticated.

The CGI special effects have definitely taken over.....sometimes the special effects are better then the story.


I was especially fond of the Indiana Jones movies:


• Raiders of the Lost Ark


• Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom


• Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade



Danny wrote a few lines about why he admires Indiana Jones....

.....Check it out on my 'Why' Page.




"Danny Also Grew Up Watching Action-Adventure Movies Starring James Bond"



Octopussy - 007, James Bond, Roger MooreWhen I was a kid, I was a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE Fan of the 007 Movies!

I grew up on Roger Moore as James Bond.

My favorites were:


• Octopussy


• For Your Eyes Only


• The Spy Who Loved Me



They could NEVER get away with a Title like Octopussy in the Today's Boring Politically Correct World!


I really do miss the Naughty 1980's.

It wasn't until I was 9 or 10 that I found out that there was a different (and better) Bond before Roger Moore...Sean Connery.

Octopussy and The Living Daylings — Ian Fleming

I discovered this when my Dad and I saw You Only Live Twice together.

I loved the Japanese Bond Girl in that movie!

I Love Japanese Women! They are just so.....Cooperative with Certain Freaky Requests.


I've definitely grown to appreciate all the different versions of 007!

Yes.....even the fake Bond film Never Say, Never Again which is just a remake of Thunderball.

The Bond Girl for Never Say, Never Again was a very young, very flexible Kim Basinger....this was before Alec Baldwin put his filthy, disgusting hands all over her!

The same Alec Baldwin who thinks of himself as an Actor/Politician/Good Husband/Good Father.

Well, he's a Decent Actor at Best....but he SUCKS at the other three jobs!



Just for the record — I was blown away with Daniel Craig as the new James Bond in Casino Royale!


"Warning! Warning!
Danger! Danger!"

Warning! Avoid the first Casino Royale (1967) at all costs! The one starring David Niven.

I have no idea what these people were thinking back then.

What made them think to make this God-awful movie?

Must have been all of that "1960's Free Love" and "Free LSD," MAN!

Well, what the hell do you expect from Hippies?!?



Casino Royale - 007, James Bond, Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig is a MAN'S Bond....
and I mean that in a Totally Non-Homosexual Way!

He's as close to Sean Connery's version of James Bond as I've ever seen.

Of course, he's more Politically Correct....he doesn't have his Way with the Girls like Connery or Moore used to.

And he has to take orders from an Old Woman now!

Talk about Humiliation, Man!

However, Daniel Craig makes up for these attacks on his Man-Hood by being EXTREMELY VIOLENT throughout the movie!


I like that...it's a good way to relieve the pent-up sexual tension.

Roger Moore was never very violent because he was always too tired from having "Dirty Bond Sex" with all of those "Dirty Bond Girls" all around the world.

With Roger Moore, Sex always came before saving the world.

Roger Moore DEFINITELY had his Priorities Straight!




"Fantasy Action-Adventure Movies
Are Popular Again"



The Lord of the Rings Trilogy — Peter Jackson, J.R.R. Tolkien


Oh, I almost forgot about the Fantasy Movies.....which is just a sub-genre of the Action-Adventure Movies genre.

The success of Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Lord of the Rings really gave a lot of credibility to the Fantasy Movies Genre.

The above Lord of the Rings Trilogy graphic came from theonering.net (new window)


Peter Jackson did a tremendous job of adapting J.R.R. Tolkien's Amazing Story to the big screen. For many years, the "Experts" assumed that The Lord of the Rings would be impossible to film.

Peter Jackson proved otherwise with the three Lord of the Rings Movies:


The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)


The Two Towers (2002)


The Return of the King (2003)


Because of it's success, movie studios started giving the "Go Ahead" for more Fantasy Movie projects like:


• The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy


• The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe


• The Golden Compass
