The Flash (1989)

In character movies, cartoon or tv series, there are many skills or abilities many people can obtain, lets say thru accident or alien abduction and these aliens put some unknown chemical/element in your body causing it’s composition to change and giving you extraordinary abilities. And some just have the powers since the day they were born. Not all superheroes possess super powers. There are some superhero who who relies on their gadgets, physical strength and special skill. The superhero I am pointing to is struck by lightning, he may not be physically strong but he’s movement speed is unbelievably fast. He is widely known as “The Flash“. He maybe like an ordinary person, someone you idolize in real life, someone you can run to incase of trouble or emergency, someone who you can play with but he has these abilities that any normal human can’t do – he can run faster than a speeding bullet, he may not be intelligent but what can intelligence do when in a blink of an eye he can go from one point to another. The Flash’s real name Barry Allen. Barry Allen is a Police Scientist, living a normal life, doing the normal way he used to, until one day, he met an accident and was struck by lightning and chemical. He woke up with this unusual feeling knowing that the combination of lighting and chemical has given him extra ability. He was to discover the hidden powers that lies on him, the super-speed. The accident cause changes in his molecular composition that gave him this awesome power to move fast. Though he can’t control the speed he has gained from the accident, he is still willing to help anyone in need. The Flash is viewed in each series to be an immature type of guy. He is easy-go-lucky and thinks that he is a ladies’ man. He might be a little too immature but he really looks like a comedian. One good thing about The Flash is that he always smile (yeah, a good person always let people see his very bright teeth). He dreamt of being a pop star, but never reached it but instead he’d become a super hero. I know that the 1998 The Flash series shows that he joined the Justice League of Super Heroes. That would be a great match with him, people with extra powers, but in some series, The Flash has become the comedian of the team, though he really look like one but his still a super hero. Swear to God that this is one of the greatest Hero Series I’ve watched.

Shia LeBeouf and Michelle Monaghan Thrill Fans and Collectors In Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye is a conventional thriller that is tense, edgy and held together by a strong cast, this has all the hallmarks of solid entertainment. But most importantly it is a well-conceived twist film that changes what it is in every single act of the film. This movie will throw viewers for a loop if they manage to see it spoiler free. As it hinges upon an incredible concept that rapidly unfolds and challenges what you’ve seen every chance it gets.

A guy and a girl both receive phone calls blackmailing them into acting for a mysterious voice forcing them into situations that is completely out of character for them. They follow the directions they are given but all the while they are trying to figure out who is blackmailing them and why.

While there are plenty of white knuckle action sequences - gun fights, car chases and explosions by the fistful – the film is about the abuse of government powers and that challenges its viewers to decide whose side their supposed to be on. And even when the film is wrapped up you are still completely uncertain as to who should have won.

It is a film that wants the viewers to question the motives and ultimately decide for themselves what the true nature of patriotism is and to encourage a discussion of what is wrong with the country.

Shia LaBeouf is excellent in the film, turning in an award winning performance and easily carries the movie. Which, when combined with the superb performances by Michelle Monaghan and Billy Bob Thornton, to make the movie a must see and causing the autograph and memorabilia shops to run out of their LaBeouf and Thornton stock. As they seem to be the hot new autographs for collectors and fans alike.

One storeowner, Richard Stark of Stark Memorabilia has reported paying two to three times the price he paid just a few months ago for Shia LaBeouf and Billy Bob Thornton autographs and memorabilia.

Eagle Eye is a very good thriller with a message that is clearly warning of dangers of technology and over-empowered governments.
