| Lets take movies from the side that they really are. The side that almost no
one ever sees that isn't in the business. The side that lacks the glamour of
the interest or the entertainment. The side of a bunch of lawyers, CPAs and
rich kids all gathered...more |

| _Starship Troopers_ proves once again that nothing debases good sci-fi faster
than contact with a Hollywood director. The merest glance at this
multimillion-dollar clunker shows that the reasons for Hollywood's inability
to do science fiction are not...more |

| There was alot of Aliens Resurrection vs Starhip Troopers talk last
year and both were tagged as movies to watch at the Box Office.
It came as a fairly big surprise when both movies fizzled and died
on release. Dissappointment aside, which movie emerged...more |

| >From "Starship Troopers" I was expecting more or less a film
in the vein of "Robocop". That is, a SF movie which could both
deliver good wham-bang action (with that kind of excessive and
cartoonish carnage I occasionally enjoy) and a deeper and...more |

| How many times has a person come up to you and compared a science
fiction movie to Ben Hur or Gone With the Wind? Don't worry, I wont
compare Troopers to those, and fact be told neither would anyone else.

| Paul Verhoeven's American movie career has certainly had its ups
and downs. Starting off with the excellent Robocop (1987) and
Total Recall (1990), he then started to give us terrible 'sex' films,
such as the stylish yet mediocre Basic Instinct (1992)...more |

| STARSHIP TROOPERS is a US$100++ million action film. I can't say if
Hollywood is wasting money on such films because at the end of the day, the
business part of film-making rules in Hollywood. The trailers have probably
given you the idea that this film...more |

| If you've ever seen any of Director Paul Verhoeven's other films such
as Total Recall, Basic Instinct or Showgirls, there is one common
thread that ties all of his work together. That element can be
described as 'excess'. True to his reputation, he is...more |

| As a faithful screen version of "Starship Troopers," Robert Heinlein's
classic 1959 science fiction novel, Paul Verhoeven's latest film might find
more than a few detractors. But as a brainless bubblegum movie, it's an
exhilarating adrenaline rush. more |

| ***1/2 (out of 4) The war in Vietnam changed the face of American war
