watching movies one cup at a time

Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!

Road House

Starring: Patrick Swayze
Director: Rowdy Herrington
Year of Release: 1989
Rated 4 cups

It’s a very cliche story: Lone wolf outsider comes into town, thinking he can change things. Big bad evil rich dude “owns the town and everyone in it” and tries to kill/shut down the lone wolf. Explosions, fist fights, smashed glass. Good guy wins, bad rich dude dies. There are whole tv series based on that simple plot line. Road House fits that model perfectly and features Swayze kickin’ some ass. Lotsa violence in this one. Including one badass scene where he literally rips out a dude’s throat. Who does that? Seriously. Ultimate fighting fans should dig this, the rest of us can probably do without the whole ripped-out throat thing.
