"Commando”
Commando is a 1985 American action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Vernon Wells, Rae Dawn Chong, Alyssa Milano, Bill Duke, Dan Hedaya and
James Olson. It was directed by Mark L. Lester and shot on location in
and around Los Angeles, California.
The film was nominated for a Saturn Award in 1986 for Best Special
Effects but lost to James Cameron's Aliens, another movie with music
provided by James Horner from Commando
Retired Special Forces operative John Matrix (Schwarzenegger) is
informed by Major General Franklin Kirby (Olson) that all the other
members of his unit have been killed by unknown mercenaries. Despite
being given protection, the mercenaries, whose ranks include Bennett
(Wells), a former member of Matrix's team fired for excessive brutality
and presumed killed in the preceding assassinations, attack Matrix's
secluded mountain home and kill the guards, kidnapping his daughter
Jenny (Milano) in the process. When Matrix gives chase, he is also
captured.
Bennett explains that Matrix is needed to carry out a political
assassination for Arius (Hedaya) (who calls himself "El Presidente" and
his army of former U.S. soldiers and mercenaries. Arius is a warlord and
dictator who was previously overthrown by Matrix. He now wishes to lead
a military coup in his home country, Val Verde, and reasons that
Matrix's familiarity with the country's new leader will aid in an
assassination attempt. As Arius has Jenny, Matrix reluctantly accepts
the demand.[2]
After boarding an airplane to take him to Val Verde, Matrix instead
kills his guard and jumps into a swamp just as the plane is taking off
from the runway, then sets his watch timer for the approximate time of
the flight. Subsequently, he commandeers an off-duty flight attendant
Cindy's (Chong) car and eventually manages to enlist her help. After
confronting (and killing) two of the mercenaries, Matrix learns where
Arius' mansion is located (and where Jenny is presumably being held). He
then breaks into a surplus store and steals a one-man arsenal of both
small arms and heavy weapons. With Cindy's complicit help, he escapes
from the police who have arrested him for breaking and entering the
surplus army store.
After commandeering a seaplane from a nearby marina run by Arius, Matrix
and Cindy land the plane off the coast of the island where Arius is
located. Matrix instructs Cindy to contact General Kirby and then
proceeds to Arius' villa, fighting and killing Arius' private army on
the way. He subsequently confronts and kills Arius in a gunfight.
Matrix finds Jenny in the basement, but he is shot in the arm by
Bennett. Matrix then taunts Bennett into facing him in a knife fight, an
invitation Bennett cannot resist. After a fierce struggle, Matrix gains
the upper hand and Bennett, defeated, reaches for a machine pistol, but
is impaled with a steel pipe by Matrix before he can fire. After Kirby
arrives with a military detachment, he offers Matrix another term of
service in the Force. Matrix, however, declines and he, Cindy, and his
daughter fly off back home.


"Twilight”

Twilight is a 2008 American romantic vampire film based on Stephenie
Meyer's popular novel of the same name. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke,
the film stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. It is the first
film in The Twilight Saga film series. This film focuses on the
development of the relationship between Bella Swan (a teenage girl) and
Edward Cullen (a vampire), and the subsequent efforts of Cullen and his
family to keep Swan safe from a coven of evil vampires.
Plot
Seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan moves to Forks, a small town
near the Washington coast, to live with her father, Charlie, after her
mother remarries to a minor league baseball player. She is quickly
befriended by many students at her new high school, but she is intrigued
by the mysterious and aloof Cullen siblings. Bella sits next to Edward
Cullen in biology class on her first day of school; he appears to be
disgusted by her, much to Bella's confusion. A few days later, Bella is
nearly struck by a van in the school parking lot. Edward inexplicably
moves from several feet away and stops the vehicle with his hand without
any harm to himself or Bella. He later refuses to explain this act to
Bella and warns her against befriending him.
After much research, Bella eventually discovers that Edward is a
vampire, though he only consumes animal blood. The pair fall in love and
Edward introduces Bella to his vampire family, Carlisle, Esme, Alice,
Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie. Soon after, three nomadic vampires—James,
Victoria, and Laurent—arrive. James, a tracker vampire, is intrigued by
Edward's protectiveness over a human and wants to hunt Bella for sport.
Edward and his family risk their lives to protect her, but James tracks
Bella to Phoenix where she is hiding and lures her into a trap by
claiming he is holding her mother hostage. James attacks Bella and bites
her wrist, but Edward, along with the other Cullen family members,
arrives before he can kill her. James is destroyed, and Edward sucks
James's venom from Bella's wrist, preventing her from becoming a
vampire. A severely injured Bella is taken to a hospital. Upon returning
to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their school prom. While there, Bella
expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses. The film
ends with Victoria secretly watching the pair dancing, plotting revenge
for her lover James' murder.

The 9th Company (Russian: 9 Рота) is a 2005 Russian–Finnish–Ukrainian
film directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk about the Soviet War in Afghanistan.
The film follows a band of young recruits from a farewell ceremony with
friends and family back home, through their often brutal training in
Uzbekistan's Fergana Valley, up to a bloody battle on a mountain top in
Afghanistan against the mujahideen.
Description
The film is loosely based on a real-life battle that took place at Hill
3234 in early 1988, during the last large-scale Soviet military
operation Magistral. In the film, only one soldier from the company
survives and the company is said to have been "forgotten" by the
military command because of the Soviet withdrawal. But in reality, the
story was different. The 9th Company, 345th Guards Airborne Regiment was
pinned down under heavy fire on Hill 3234 between the 7th and 8th of
January 1988. They managed to stop twelve attacks by an estimated
200?400 Mujahideen. The company lost six men. Another 28 out of the
total 39 were wounded. Two of the killed soldiers were posthumously
awarded the golden star of the Hero of the Soviet Union. The unit was in
constant communication with headquarters and got everything the
regimental commander, Colonel Valery Vostrotin, could provide in terms
of ammunition, reinforcements, and helicopter evacuation of the
wounded.[1]
