situations...

Perfect Storm, The
In October 1991, the fishing community of Gloucester,
Massachusetts, experienced the full wrath of Mother Nature when a freak
meteorological event produced the fiercest storm in modern history.
Director Wolfgang Petersen has fashioned this heroic true story (as
chronicled in Sebastian Junger's bestseller) into a star-laden
blockbuster, employing computer power to whip up the terrifying titular
storm.
George Clooney plays Billy Tyne, captain of the Andrea Gail who has been
plagued by bad luck at sea and is on a poor run of catches. Frustrated
by the huge hauls of the Hannah Boden, captained by Linda Greenlaw (Mary
Elizabeth Mastrantonio), Tyne decides to head back out to sea for the
Flemish Cap, a remote area renowned for its rich fishing prospects. He
is joined by a number of his regular crew including Billy Shatford (Mark
Wahlberg), Dale Murphy (John C Reilly), David Sullivan (William Fichtner),
Alfred Pierre (Allen Payne) and Michael Moran (John Hawkes). Sure
enough, Tyne's luck changes for the better at the Flemish Cap and the
Andrea Gail catches a full haul. Buoyed by the money that awaits them
back home, the crew sets off back to Gloucester, but disturbing weather
patterns hamper their progress, and they soon find themselves battling
against 100ft waves and 120mph winds that threaten to tear the boat
apart.

Platoon
Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture,
and based on the first-hand experience of Oscar-winning director Oliver
Stone, Platoon is powerful, intense and starkly brutal.
Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen) is a young, naive American who, upon his
arrival in Vietnam, quickly discovers that he must do battle not only
with the Viet Cong, but also with the gnawing fear, physical exhaustion
and intense anger growing within him. While his two commanding officers
(Oscar-nominated Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe) draw a fine line between
the war they wage against the enemy and the one they fight with each
other, the conflict, chaos and hatred permeate Taylor, suffocating his
realities and numbing his feelings to man’s highest value...life.
