Colors Of The Wind
Pocahontas- is a strange movie, cause it came out after "The Lion King". And the movie's after "The Lion King" were stange. What im saying is after "The Lion King", disney decided to go really strange/a huge left turn/didn't expect that/disappointed and overall a huge downfall. But i will get to those movies. Oh this is one of them.
Anyways the plot:
This is the Disney animated tale of the romance between a young American Indian woman named Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) and Capt. John Smith (Mel Gibson), who journeyed to the New World with other settlers to begin fresh lives. Her powerful father, Chief Powhatan, disapproves of their relationship and wants her to marry a native warrior. Meanwhile, Smith's fellow Englishmen hope to rob the Native Americans of their gold. Can Pocahontas' love for Smith save the day.
The songs I dont remember, the plot was so-so, the charcters were intresting and thats pretty much it.

The Theory of Conspiracies
Conspiracy Theory- is a good movie, a little long and dated but its still a good movie. Both Mel Gibson and Juila Roberts do a good job and Partick Stewart as the villian, was cool to see. Cause he doesn't play alot of villian roles, so it was nice to see him play as the villian.
The plot: New York City cabbie Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson) is an expert on paranoid conspiracy theories. He is also infatuated with government lawyer Alice Sutton (Julia Roberts), who permits his attention because he once rescued her from a mugging. However, when Jerry is captured and put through psychotic tests by Dr. Jonas (Patrick Stewart), he realizes there is an actual conspiracy. After escaping, Jerry enlists Alice's help, but she wonders whether he has uncovered a real threat or is just insane.
Its has good drama, suspense, thrills and some action, but its still a good movie.

Strong retelling of the heroic Private Doss as I was completely unaware of his actions although I was aware of the army and their treatment of objectors.
Mel Gibson has captured the essence of the futility of war and how the heroics of one man saved many against overwhelming odds.
Effects are very realistic and the sound design has made this a home cinema favourite amongst enthusiasts.
Do not miss this film!

Aardman Animation's first feature-length production, starring a then-popular Mel Gibson (before he went off the rails quite a bit!) as the voice of an American Rooster who crash-lands in a chicken coop where the inmates are all trying to escape as they all have to lay a certain number of eggs each day or else face the chop.
And yes, it is indeed a - loose - parody of The Great Escape.

Protect Goldie Hawn
Bird on a Wire- is a funny action packed movie. The action is really good, and the chemistey between Mel and Goldie is really good.
The plot: Rick Jarmin (Mel Gibson) is put in witness protection after he helps the FBI bust drug dealer Eugene Sorenson (David Carradine). Fifteen years later, he is living with a new identity as a gas station attendant in Detroit. When an old flame named Marianne (Goldie Hawn) stops at the gas station and recognizes him, his cover gets blown. The recently released Sorenson finds out, and both Jarmin and Marianne have to flee across the country with the vengeful Sorenson in hot pursuit.
Its a funny entertaining movie.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Edge of Darkness (2010) in Movies
May 5, 2020 (Updated May 6, 2020)
The legendary TV mini-series is retooled for the big screen as a bog-standard Mel Gibson revenge thriller. A detective's daughter is killed, and his investigations lead him to discover she was a target of forces within the military-industrial complex operating above the law.
As well as two-thirds of the running time and most of the plot, the movie version of Edge of Darkness also cheerfully dispenses with virtually everything that made the TV show so memorable: theoretically a fiendishly convoluted thriller, it also contained an environmentalist subtext, an incest subtext, a subtext about Anglo-US relations, even some borderline SF & fantasy elements. All of this is gone and just replaced with Mel Gibson looking intense and beating people up. As a result it is very hard to care about what's happening, although the illogicality of much of it does manage to cut through (someone poisoning someone else and then deciding to shoot them as well is practically a motif). Ray Winstone is not bad as Jedburgh, but given the source material the rest of it is unforgivably lousy.

Not terribly creative, but gets the job done
Maybe Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson will be the next Mel Gibson and Danny Glover or Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan!
Entertaining throughout with some witty dialogue and creative action scenes, you could certainly do a lot worse than this action comedy.
The Reynolds-Jackson chemistry is what works best in the film and takes you through some of the dull moments.
I was entertained throughout.

Vivid and brutal
I usually can't stomach war movies or Mel Gibson, but the story of Desmond Doss is an incredible one to behold. Doss is the only conscientious objector during the Second World War to have received America's top military award - the Medal of Honor. His refusal to bear arms gained him notoriety during training, being bullied by his commanding sergeants and fellow soldiers. But at the brutal battle in Hacksaw Ridge against the Japanese, Doss single-handedly went back into a warzone retrieving 75 injured soldiers, at a time when all hope was thought to be lost.
The film itself is in two halves. The first part is a little saccharine, portraying Doss as an innocent doe-eyed boy trailing a beautiful nurse who ends up becoming his wife. At the same time, his father, a tortured military man, is seen as abusive after witnessing horrors in France. Director Mel Gibson tries to connect this relationship to why Doss may not be keen on weapons. Overall, the war scenes are well-shot, extremely graphic to the point it is a completely immersive experience. If Gibson made the first half a little less Hollywood, it would be a skilfully made film. The best part by far is the end where you get to meet the real hero Doss speaking about his experiences. A harrowing watch.

Dragged across the 2 hour mark (and then some)
Ok so after seeing the nicely executed movie blood father starring Mel Gibson, I honestly thought this was gonna be another decent movie in his comeback.
Instead what we actually got was a ridiculously Slow, Boring, slightly Violent, Intense in-car talking, Graphic, Forgettable let down.
Also starring vince Vaughn who should seriously stick to terrible comedies (except for Dodgeball) this is a movie that may or may not be about consequences of you actions and so bad you'll ask yourself once again why Gibson won't say yes to lethal weapon 5?
I mean come on, we paid to see die hard 5, we'll pay to see whatever crap that throws at us.....
