In The Line Of Fire (Special Edition)

In the Line of Fire (Special Edition)

Amazon.com essential video


This smart, tautly directed thriller from Wolfgang Petersen is about the cat-and-mouse games between a Secret Service agent named Horrigan (Clint Eastwood) and the brilliant, psychopathic assassin (John Malkovich) whos itching to get the President in his cross hairs. The back-story--Horrigan is haunted by his inability to prevent John Kennedys assassination (Eastwood is computer-generated into archival footage)--is more than a little hokey, but the plotting itself is smartly, even ingeniously, constructed. Petersen manages a viselike grip on the tension and Eastwood even gets to deliver an ever-more-timely lecture on the diminished nature of the office of President. Eastwoods as gruff and as infuriating to the by-the-book Powers That Be as ever, and Malkovich oozes delightful menace. Renee Russo capably costars as a colleague with whom Horrigan gets friendly. --David Kronke

Malkovich Steals The Show
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
Heres another entertaining Clint Eastwood action-suspense film. I am not a particularly fan of his but I have to hand to him: he knows how to make entertaining movies. It didnt hurt, either, to have John Malkovich as his co-star. Now there is an intense actor!

In this story, Malkovich plays an assassin, and he is fascinating to watch, thanks to his different disguises and the terrific dialog he was given. He also has a interesting voice.

Rene Russo is fairly low-key (for her), but thats fine and Eastwood plays the usual loner-cop role, not appreciated by his superiors but showing them all up in the end. I guess he couldnt stop playing the "Dirty Harry"-type figures, but he played them well.

There were some negatives this film, however, namely: credibility. The climatic scene, in particularly, had too many holes in it. There also were too many verbal blasphemes in here.

Overall, however, this is good, escapist fare.
First class thriller
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
John Malkovich is convincingly creepy and vicious in his role as an assassin turned maniac who wants to kill the president. Next to him, Clint Eastwood is a secret service man who failed to protect JFK. Their demons drive this excellent film, which is convincing and very involving.

Its an excellent movie and first class entertainment.
Malkovich at his best!
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :1
Though the first billing of this show was Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich was the real star deservedly earning himself the Best Supporting Actor nomination. No offence to Mr Landaus impeccable performance in Ed Wood but I bet the Oscars are going to do the same to Malkovich some time when hes a senior too. Its your usual run-after-the-bad-guy thriller but Malkovichs evil portrayal of the screwed up assassin maniac will keep you watching, even if you know hes going to die in the end (typically Hollywood!). Hes a bad guy you love to hate and though hes supposed to be the evil one, you cant help but like him simply coz hes just so evil, you know like Alan Rickman in Robin Hood or Gary Oldman in Dracula. Brilliant movie for both guys and gals to watch together.

    Absolute Monarchy And The Stuart Constitution

    Absolute Monarchy and the Stuart Constitution

    Product Description


    Glenn Burgess here presents a convincing reassessment of the turbulent politics of seventeenth-century England. He rejects as oversimplified and distorted the notion that a growing polarization between absolutists and constitutionalists led inevitably to civil war. Turning to the great body of common law, political opinions of key figures, and letters during the reigns of James I and Charles I, Burgess refocuses discussion on the real conflicts and human complexities of the time.

    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
    Without a doubt, Carman is a great songwriter/singer and the fact that he appeals to the younger generation is an added bonus. Although I am in my middle sixties I enjoy his music and have several of his other albums, including "The Heart of a Champion", "Passion for Praise", "The Standard" and his awesome rendition of well known hymns and choruses on his album "I Surrender All". I recommend anything that he has written as worthy of adding to your Christian collection of music.
    Classic Carman
    Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :6
    This was one of my first Christian albums I ever bought. And it is still one of my favorites. Although "The Ressureciton Rap" sounds kind of hoaky, there are many bright spots on this album. Gods Got An Army is a fun song. Saved, Delivered, and Healed has a great message, and This Blood still practically makes me cry when I think of what Jesus went through for us. I cannot reccomend this album highly enough. Get it today!

    This is a wonderfully performed concert. Carman gives his all. I dont know what "A big chunk of funny " was watching but this was not a comedy and there was no reference to George Carlin or any other jokes. Just a spirit filled evening. This was special to me personally also because I Went to this concert on tour when it was in my city.

    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :6
    Ive been a Carman fan for years, so when I saw this DVD, I had to buy it! Its from the last night of his Heart of a Champion tour, and he performs a lot of his best older songs, as well as his new ones. My favorite is the song "Jesus Period" which says that the answer to the problems in the world is not some new program, not some psychic hotline, but is Jesus Period! The show is spectacular and the message is even greater! I fully enjoyed this dvd and trust that you will too!

    Nobody told me how funny this guy was until I actually viewed this concert on DVD. I hadnt seen him in person before so I didnt realize how much time he spent chatting between songs. Hes quite funny. In fact when he recounted the George Carlin joke about "Yogurt" I just almost sprayed yogurt through my nose I laughed so hard. Hes quite the comedian this Carman fellow.

    Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :2
    I had a group of friends over last night and we were flipping through the channels and came across the last ten minutes of this video on TBN. All four of us watching have been overseas in the past year on mission trips (my point being our faith means a lot to us). What I saw of this video was completely embarrassing. We were all laughing at how incredibly bad this is. I hope that Carman can bring people to Christ, but I wouldnt want any of my non-Christian coworkers or friends to see this for fear that they would think Christianity is cheesy and only good for third rate action videos. But, I saw this on TBN. Guess I should have figured.
    A really fun video
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
    I really loved this video. My kids and I always dance to the first song, "Jesus is The Lamb." The prayer anthem is also nice. In one of the other reviews of this video, the reviewer said they only saw the last ten minutes, and they were embarrassed and thought it was all kind of cheesy. Well, that person didnt watch the whole video. When you watch the first part, you get a real feel for what Carman is trying to communicate, that whoever you are, whatever culture you come from, you can praise God in whatever way is unique to your culture and to you as a person, and that God is pleased with that. The last segment, a kind of a spoof of 007, was really cute, and my kids loved it. This was designed for youth, not for your average 30 or 40 years old. So in that respect, it did its job wonderfully.

    I was interested and then I started to get into it. My mate is his biggest fan and has changed him in so many ways which I thank him and our Heavenly Father up above for.
    He has given the world the word of God and how he is the most powerful one.
    I hope he carrys on giving the world what he has got about our Heavenly Father up above.

    I saw this film earlier today, and I say in all honesty that this has to be one of the most horrible works that man has created in the history of the world. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it. I mean who does this guy think he is, Jesus? I believe in God and Jesus, and to me this is an embarassment. It almost makes me wish I lived in China, where a ....thing like this could never be made. Please, please goods people, avoid this film at all costs, it is evil in its badness. I mean "Carman", what the hell is that? Is that even a name? Is it a superhero who turns into cars? Would someone please tell me because Id like to know.
