Tony
Scott RIP
I was
shocked when I got the news of director Tony Scott committing
suicide. And, I was even more shocked in the manner he
committed suicide (by jumping off a bridge). Tony Scott is the
younger brother director Ridley Scott. After his death, I’ve
realized how many of his movies I have enjoyed over the years.
Beverly
Hills Cop II:
Scott Made this movie a little bit too serious with more action
elements. Where as the first movie was a comedy with action
elements, this sequel was an action movie with comedic elements. It isn't as good as the first one, but certainly light years ahead the third one.
The
Last Boy Scout : I didn’t like the movie when it
came out, but I’ve grown to like the it. Bruce Willis is
playing the same character as the one from the Die Hard series. There are some stupid moments, like the football shooting thing, but it still works an action movie.
Crimson
Tide :
I love this action movie. Washington is great and the script is
very sharp. Scott’s direction is spot on.
Enemy
of the State :
I
watched this one recently on cable and really enjoyed it. Will
Smith is very good in the leading role. Take note that a young
Jack Black is in this movie too.
Spy
Game :
Again, I watched this one recently on cable. While it hasn’t
aged as well as his older movies, it is still a fun action movie with
Brad Pitt.
Man
on Fire :
This
was beginning of Scott’s strange editing and disjointed style, but
he doesn’t do it that much here, but he over does it in Domino.
Deja
Vu:
I love this action time travel movie. This is truly a fun movie.
Unstoppable:
I loved this movie too, and it was his last movie.
After
doing those action movies from the 80s, he ended up doing a lot of
movies with Denzel
Washington.
He did five movies with Washington.
I'm
not sure why he would commit suicide and leave his family (his kids).
But, may he rest in peace. He made some good movies.
