杀掉我

　　西柏坡位于河北省平山县，是中国共产党夺取全国政权前驻扎的最后一个农村根据地。周恩来、朱德、刘少奇、任弼时四位领导人和各级作战参谋，围在地图旁研究战事，等待着东北战场上的消息。我军攻克锦州的捷报传来，满屋的人一片欢腾。
　　天津解放了，跟随毛主席多年的警卫排长耿涛，被派去接管天津。他依依不舍地告别了毛主席，去迎接新的挑战。在海河边他遇到当年的救命恩人、带领他参加革命的老营长马宝山。在马宝山的帮助下他几经周折找到了失散多年的青梅竹马的恋人纪小兰。
　　天津民生煤矿的老板、大资本家宋学仁对自己何去何从举棋不定。他的二姨太太张淑芬一天晚上外出遭土匪袭击，巧遇马宝山带人巡逻救了她，张淑芬对马宝山印象颇深。 马宝山被派任“民生”的代表，因运输不畅，当时天津严重缺煤，而“民生”因缺乏资金难以开工，为商谈开工一事马宝山去宋宅未遇宋学仁，却禁不住美色的诱惑，投入了张淑芬的怀抱。
　　宋学仁在其弟宋学智别有用心的怂恿下，隐瞒自己藏有五千吨煤的实情，并决定变卖设备出国。工人们闻讯将工厂办公室围了起来，要求复工。 耿涛从大局考虑，为使天津经济复苏，请示“西柏坡”后，破例为“民生”办来了贷款。宋学仁听到有贷款后，惊喜万分，决定不离开本不想离开的企业，立即开工生产。
　　马宝山到银行提款时，遇到与宋学智串通准备携款私奔的张淑芬，张得知马手中有大笔贷款，便表示将宋学仁私藏的五千吨煤卖给马宝山，马宝山立功心切，被骗去了贷款。
　　耿涛闻讯令马宝山立即追回贷款，在码头边一场搏斗中，马宝山受重伤，终于夺回贷款，击毙了坚持与人民为敌的宋学智。
　　党的七届二中全会在西柏坡召开，中共中央决定迁址北平，迎着朝阳，毛泽东从西柏坡村中的小巷子里走出来，身后是他的战友、父老乡亲、一群活泼可爱的娃娃……从此，中国革命史翻开了新的一页，但夺取全国政权，仅仅是万里长征走完了第一步。

　　城南是个黑手党活动盛行的地方，有两个帮派，一个住在AliBhai，控制古鲁和莫娜等男女巫的活动，另一支由当地雇佣兵组成，两派都对当地的包工头和土地占有者收保护费、或直接占有他们的地产，当然若有不从，则施以暴力，敲诈甚至杀死他们。长官Mohamed Maideen Khan来做城南的执政者了，他开始清理这些黑帮……华丽火爆的性感歌舞........

　　Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up.
　　This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more: the dialogue is laced with sharp wit there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!) and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).
　　It's also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the "girl-nerd" who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And there's Tears for Fears great song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, what's there to be embarrassed about?
