THE BODYGUARD (Theatrical Release USA 1992)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

The Bodyguard—Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston—creates a movie that causes deep reflection on wealth, world class influencers, lifestyle and precautions that are taken to ensure the longer professional life. This movie has some sex scenes but presents a highly sophisticated watch with some terrific action scenes that work more as tense drama.

FLUKE (Theatrical Release USA 1995)


Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì

Fluke—
a ‘feel good’ story, worth watching—has an original, creative concept with great voicing by Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew Modine. Although some of the actors/actresses seem to be prompted a great deal to get through their assigned dialogue and scenes, the movie presents a thoughtful presentation of reincarnation and life cycles. Watch for Ron Perlman and Bill Cobbs.
