Robot Boxing for the Future

Battling Robot Boxers

It was the post-boxing era where human boxing no longer found any appeal as a sports.

There was more excitement in robot-boxing and " Real Steel" action starts at the fair-grounds where the protagonist Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) loses his robot to a bull and henceforth his life spiraled downwards losing custody of his son, Max to his sister.

Charlie and the Final Fifth Round

For Charlie, life after professional boxing has been mundane though he still lives in a gymnasium with his live-in lover, Bailey Tallet (Evangeline Lily) and collected plenty of IOUs to make life worth the living.

Bailey

However, this all changed when his son come back into his life for a short period and the advent of a diminutive sparring  robot which they found at a scrap-yard  called Atom.

Max and Atom

The fights between Atom and his advance into the big leagues is really worth the money especially with the ring action particularly against the Twin Tower robot and Zeus.

Good movie.

Thelma and Louise-A Buddy-Buddy Movie

Superb Road action

Ridley Scott's movies are really a brand unto themselves.

They are riveting and continues to pack in the suspense and action even for earlier movies (1991) such as Thelma and Louise.

Buddies

This buddy-buddy movie of a waitress and a bored housewife out on a camping outing turned nasty when they encountered mayhem in the guise of an attempted rape, a provocative shooting, armed robbery as well as assault with a deadly weapon.

Novice shooters

Their adventures captured on film of the beauty of the American landscape is superb particularly the Grand Canyon.

In this movie, you see a strong performance by Susan Sarandon who vied for the Best Actress that year (1991) only  to lose it to Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs.

As for Geena Davis, she is in her best form here showing off her best prime,perky and youthful self.

The Penultimate Option

As for the film, there could be no better ending.
