Valutazione di Antonio-37
Absolutely not a family movie! But for those who like to see big guns, this is it! And we're not talking guns made out of steel that load lead bullets and go "Bang". While most men have calibre 6 guns, Brandon Lee shoots with a calibre 9 magnum. He's definitely a big gun, not a derringer.
Lee stars in this movie, as he did in 3 other movies for Catalina, all shot in 1999 before Brandon moved on to bigger and better things. See also "Fortune Nookie", which is my favorite in this bunch of big gun movies.
Brandon's appearance is famous, and it's not just his face that we remember. An American man of Asian ancestry, Brandon must have had extra milk or hamburgers or something special to make him grow into the fantastic shape he demonstrates in this movie. While lots of big gun movies have been made, ones with an Oriental star are quite rare and therefore a special treat to watch.
Ripped doesn't begin to describe the definition and bulk of his muscles. And that's not just those muscles he can safely show off in the gym. He's a treat to ogle, from the top of his head to tip of his toe, and all parts in between. And there's parts in between that our eyes are bound to linger on.
Wondering how he developed that deep dark all over tan gives new meaning to the word "metaphysics".
Not only do we see all the guns these movie men are packing, we get to see some uses for those guns that we didn't learn on the Boy Scout shooting range. Gives new meaning to the expression "Target practice"! And watching this movie makes you want to draw your own pistol, and make your own pathetic attempt to match these guys on the shooting range.
If you're going to be stuck on a deserted island all alone with no one to practice shooting with, buy this movie and pack your VCR. You'll have fun!

Two best friends spend the summer of their 16th year together at a beach house. Dani has realized that he has gay feelings, and this is the summer he will sort out his orientation. Nico is quite happy to play along with Dani. The "Krámpak" in the title is Spanish for mutual masturbation.
But their adolescent fumbling has different meanings for each boy. Dani has much deeper feelings for his pal than Nico seems to reciprocate. Dani knows he's gay, but is Nico gay?
This dichotomy is classic for boys at that age. Many boys engage in play with another boy, some discard it after a while, and others decide that this is their life choice.
The acting is a little wooden in this movie. However given the controversial theme of the script this is not hard to forgive. Both boys are good actors playing your typical adolescents with a sexual twist.
There is no heavy trauma in this movie. The ending will surprise the viewer. Not too many movies have treated adolescent gay sex in so positive a light. Three cheers for that! It is now the start of the new millennium - it's OK for boys to be gay. Yet in being gay there are still the difficulties in any relationship that all teenagers have to grapple with. And the real strength of this movie shows that even when two boys are ready to play, the course of true love is not easy.

Jamie Williams, then 12 years old, stars as the man-cub Mowgli in this movie adaptation of the classic Rudyard Kipling story. He is supported by an outstanding cast of animals, such as Baloo the bear, Baghera the panther, and Shere Khan the tiger.
The story is too well know to bear repeating. But playing against Williams are characters representing the Yankee "collector" for P. T, Barnum's circus (Bill Campbell), a couple of eccentric British army officers and their wives, an Indian hurdy-gurdy player complete with trained monkey, an Indian prince who is really Mowgli's uncle, and a positively weird tracker with his trained python.
There is also an appearance by Roddy McDowall, who was himself a very famous child star (How Green Was My Valley, Kidnapped (1948)) with over 158 movie appearances in his career.
The boy-cub, his wolf brothers, and all the animals out shine and out star the adults in this movie. The animal trainers are the invisible stars, directing the animals in major roles, not just quick appearances.
Williams is exceptional in his role as Mowgli. I wonder at his stunt abilities. It must be hard to use a body double for a 12 year old boy. See him climb and leap about in trees, run with the animals, dive into rivers, and clamber around on the roof of a moving train.
And he's cute, to boot! Tanned, smooth skinned, and lithe. With a grin to light up a city. It's a joy to watch him run though the jungle swinging from tree to tree. A young Tarzan comes to mind. Maybe in a few more years when his body has filled out, Williams could replace Johnny Weismuller?
Watch this movie as an antidote to the dreadful cartoon version of the novel, with the singing bear. It is an extremely realistic portrayal of a feral boy, his jungle friends, the jungle itself, and those adults who would wish him ill. It belongs in that category of serious movies that star children, but are not just children's stories.
This story was not one of Kipling's best, in my opinion. It is rather fantastic. For his best story made into a movie, I refer you to "Captains Courageous" which was filmed in three versions.
