Great doc on the famed Apollo Theater

The Apollo is the most iconic African American theater in America. This is a documentary about that famed institution. It doesn’t give a traditional history. Rather it touches on different people that performed there starting with Ella Fitzgerald. Along the way it discusses some of the traditions such as touching the stump as people walk out onto the stage and Amateur Night.<br /><br />Halfway through the documentary does lose its path. It starts talking about the struggles of black people with police murdering black men, the black power movement, James Brown’s song I’m Black And I’m Proud, etc. The problem is that it’s only marginally connected to the Apollo by a performance they were planning on doing about Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between The World And Me book. If they wanted to include all that it could have done a much better job relating it all together.<br /><br />Still it’s a good movie about the history, legacy and culture surrounding the Apollo.

Amazing performance by Presley Chweneyagae as a ruthless criminal who finds a baby

Tsotsi (Presley Chweneyagae) has a night of violence when his gang stabs a man to death on the subway, then he beats up his friend for objecting to the murder, and then he does a car jacking where he shoots the owner and finds out that her baby is in the backseat. It appears he’s become a cold blooded thief but the baby does something to him. The story is about whether he can find his humanity which he lost long ago. It’s definitely not your usual crime drama and Chweneyagae does a great job as the lead showing both ruthlessness and a heart. When you look at his eyes at the start of the movie he looks like he’s dead inside. Remember that and compare it to what he looks like in the final scene.

Battles of the working class but has a crazy plot twist that lost me

Sorry To Bother You was the brainchild of Boots Riley former front man for the Hip Hop group the Coup and a committed communist. The film was based upon Riley’s time as a telemarketer and his idea of working people being slaves to capitalism. The story has elements of leftist politics, comedy and science fiction. For instance, Danny Glover tells LaKeith Stanfield to use his “white voice” to get sales at his telemarketing job. This is hilarious to me because I know people who use that trick all the time when they’re on the phone. Another time there’s union organizing at Stanfield’s work which he abandons for a promotion showing how workers can easily be divided. I was down for all that. Then the movie got really weird. I’m not even talking about something out of left field because at least that’s part of the game. Riley threw in something completely bizarre based upon the idea that workers are treated like beasts of burden rather than people by their companies. It was too much for me and the film lost me as a result.

Mind blowing thriller about a woman who can't forget her son

Julianne Moore plays Telly Paretta who is grieving over her lost son. It’s not clear whether the son really existed however, which is the basis for this psychological thriller. The movie begins with the question of whether Telly had a son or not but then it becomes something completely different involving the government.<br /><br />The movie has a good start questioning Telly's sanity. For instance she opens up a photo albums of her son but there are no pictures in it. She tries to play video tapes of him, but they’re blank. She feels like she’s losing her mind.<br /><br />The twist is revealed when she finds another man in her exact same position named Ash (Dominic West). He had a daughter but can’t remember her. Telly does though and tries to help him remember her. That brings in government agents and the twist in the film which won’t be revealed.<br /><br />The movie was definitely an exciting thriller with a twist that could not be foreseen.<br />C

A unique character from 70s Japanese exploitation

Hanzo The Razor was a unique character from 1970s Japanese exploitation. Hanzo played by Shintaro Katsu who also produced the film was an iconoclastic Edo era policeman who went after the rich and powerful and garnered confessions from women by having sex with them. His style is shown in the opening where he refuses to take his oath because his office takes bribes from the samurai, lords, brothels and more and he refuses to be a part of it. Thrown in with that is a lot of action in the second half and a great Soul=Funk soundtrack.

Realization of Frank Miller's neo-Noir action thriller

Sin City was based upon a graphic novel by famed comic writer and artist Frank Miller. It’s like a modern Film Noir directed by Robert Rodriguez and Miller with the help of Quentin Tarantino.<br /><br />The first thing that hits you is that Rodriguez really tried to capture the look of the novel. Thus it’s shot in black and white with bright colors thrown in like a woman’s red lipstick and dress.<br /><br />The Noir elements are there right from the start. The main characters each do a voice over on their thoughts. The black and white highlights the shadows and darkness which are symbolic of the stories. There’s also the heroes who stand alone against the powers that be and dangerous women.<br /><br />There are several different stories in the movie from Bruce Willis as John Hartigan a former policeman that got framed because he went after the son of a powerful man. There’s Mickey Rourke as Marv who had his favorite hooker killed and wants revenge. Finally, there’s Clive Owen as Dwight who killed a crooked cop and gets caught up in the middle of a gang war. The stories all revolve around the corruption of society and how the powerful believe that they are above the law. Those plots bring about plenty of action with gun play, beatings, car chases, crashes and more. I think Rourke’s character stands out the most. He’s got a huge blockhead, has some of the best hardboiled dialogue and kicks plenty of butt. Owen is a close second.<br /><br />All together it’s a powerful mix that really brings to life Miller’s work.

Great zombie film that has action and heart wrenching scenes

Train to Busan was a top notch Korean horror/zombie flick. In fact it’s one of my fav movies in the entire genre.<br /><br />The story centers around Gung Yoo as Seo-Woo a businessman who has ignored his daughter Kim Su-an as Su-an for his work. The situation is so bad that on her birthday he buys her a Wii video game system, the same present he got her the year before. To make up for it he agrees to take her to Busan to see her mom. The train ride to Busan turns out to be a trip from hell as it is set upon by the undead.<br /><br />Like most modern zombie films, in this one the non-living not only run, but jump as well. The characters are also played very well. Seo-Woo is a jerk, to the point he tells Su-an she should be selfish and shouldn’t help others. That's part of the class conscious message in the story that the rich only think about themselves when the zombies attack while the common people try to help each other. The latter leads to some heart wrenching moments when people sacrifice themselves.<br /><br />Overall, this is a very enjoyable film that has plenty of action and pulls at your gut as well.<br />C

Girl suffers Jesus' punishment which turns out to be a challenge to Catholicism

Stigmata is the appearance of bruises and scars corresponding to the wounds Jesus suffered during his crucifixion. The movie explores that phenomenon in a paranormal thriller featuring Patricia Arquette as Frankie Paige and Gabriel Bryne as Father Andrew Kiernan. Kiernan investigates paranormal activity. Paige comes to his attention when she starts getting visions and begins having a stigmata experience. First she bleeds from her wrists where Jesus was nailed to the cross. Then she’s on the subway and has an attack where she starts bleeding on her back where Jesus was whipped, etc. Those events along with all the things she sees makes her believe that she is going insane. The issue raised is if these are divine intervention why would God do this to people? It turns out there is a secret to Paige’s possession that threatens the Catholic Church itself.<br /><br />The movie is very well done. Everything is very dark and shadowy to match the mood. The visions and wounds Frankie suffers from come like fits of madness and then afterward she’s left a bleeding mess. The ending seems like a message from a Protestant, but I’ll leave that for you to decide.<br />C

The worst of the original Godzilla films

All Monsters Attack was a low point in the Godzilla franchise because it was aimed completely at elementary school kids. The main character is a little kid played by Tomonori Yazaki. His mom works all the time so he dreams about making friends with the Son of Godzilla to make up for the lack of a parent. It makes the whole movie like a Japanese kid’s TV show. Not only that but a lot of the Godzilla footage is taken from earlier movies so there’s not much original content. It makes All Monsters Attack a completely forgettable film and is only for Godzilla completists.

How do you make a movie about scientists interesting? Have them chase tornados

How do you make a movie about scientists interesting? Have them study tornados! That’s the basis of Twister with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton who are meteorologists going through a divorce. The plot includes plenty of adventure with them hunting down tornados and all the danger that encompasses. Of course the point of all the chasing is to find more scientific data.

Postmodern view of Tony Wilson and the Manchester music scene

24 Hour Party People was an amazing postmodern look at the Manchester, England music scene through the eyes of Tony Wilson played by Steve Coogan. Wilson had a TV show and got into the new British music scene after he saw the Sex Pistols. He would go on to be a concert promoter and one of the owners of Factory Records that put out Joy Division, New Order, the Happy Mondays and others. It’s postmodern because Wilson constantly talks into the camera to not only give context to situations but to make comments about the movie in general. For instance, the opening scene is Wilson doing hand gliding for his TV show. When he’s done he looks into the camera and tells the audience that the hand gliding worked on two levels, one of which was symbolic of his ow personal story. He says just remember one name Icarus. If you knew the story good, if you didn’t it didn’t matter, but the people should read more if they didn’t. Icarus was the Greek Myth of the man who made wings and flew too close to the sun leading him to lose his wings and crash down to Earth. That would be Wilson’s experience in the music industry. It’s also an example of Wilson’s wit and part of what makes the movie so fun. There’s also all the music which Wilson was involved in.<br /><br />The movie has a great mix. There’s all the music like Joy Division. There are plenty of laughs such as the scene above. The postmodernism is funny as well. There are also tragedies like the suicide of Joy Division’s singer Ian Curtis. The movie gives some of the behind the scenes stories of the music along with plenty of tunes as well. It’s a pretty amazing story as a result.<br />C

You can only achieve your goals when you are happy with yourself

This has to be one of my all time favorite animated movies. I watch it every time it comes on TV. The film is about finding and accepting oneself. That’s based upon Jack Black as the Panda who is a big nerd who loves eating and dreaming about being a Kung Fu hero. He gets his moment when it’s discovered he is the Dragon Warrior. Black has to realize that only when he’s happy with himself can he be the person he aspires to be. Black was the literal personification of this character. The film mixes common tropes from Hong Kong cinema like revenge and training sequences with plenty of jokes by Black and the rest of the cast. It’s a lot of laughs and great for kids as well as adults.

Guy Ritchie does it again

Guy Ritchie liked large ensemble casts with interrelated stories. He really tried to pull that off with Rocknrolla that included struggling small time crooks Gerard Butler and Idris Elba who owe money to big time criminal Tom Wilkinson who is trying to get in bed with a Russian Karel Roden and has problems with his accountant Thandiew Newton who is involved with Butler and Elba. Each is trying to do their own grift which gets involved with the others. There’s plenty of fun along the way like Russians who won’t die, a psychotic, junkie Rock star, thefts and double crosses, and more. It’s not as ground breaking as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch but it’s better than many of Ritchie’s recent releases which have been very inconsistent.

Non-believer is asked to do unbelievable things to save the world while making jokes about it

Of Eddie Murphy’s original set of movies The Golden Child always seems to be put down as not as good as the rest. It definitely was different subject matter than the previous ones like 48 Hours, Trading Places, and Beverly Hills Cop because it dealt with mysticism and the occult. That’s what the movie is about. A man who is a non-believer in those things is asked to do unbelievable things. That’s also the source of the comedy as Murphy is given a monumental task and the only way he can deal with it is by making light of his situation.<br /><br />Murphy plays Chandler Jarrell who is a private investigator who is looking for a missing girl. Unbeknownst to him, he is the Chosen One who has the power to save the Golden Child, a young Buddhist prophet from Tibet who is to save the world, but was kidnapped by Sardo Numspa (Charles Dance). Kee Nang (Charlotte Lewis) has to convince Jarrell that this is his destiny. That’s where the comedy comes from. He doesn’t take this story nor his responsibility seriously. In fact, his coping mechanism to deal with serious situations is to make fun of them, so even when he does try to save the Golden Child and runs into Sadro Numspa he constantly makes jokes about it. That makes his character much like his previous ones, it’s just the setting which is different.<br />C

Liked the comments about slasher films within the movie

I watched this movie simply to see whether the franchise had gotten better or worse four films in. I have to say I really liked the start which was a comment upon slasher films. In fact, that’s what was different about Scream 4 it consciously went through the tropes of the genre. The other parts are rather routine and are just like the others. As Courteney Cox said in the film it was very “meta”.

Rip off of Escape From New York/Escape From L.A.

The beginning of Lookout was great. Guy Pearce is being interrogated by Peter Stormare which includes a healthy amount of punches. In response Pearce just delivers one liners after another including ones about Stormare’s mother.<br /><br />After that however the story is a rip off of John Carpenter’s Escape From New York/Escape from L.A. as Pearce is an elite soldier with an attitude blackmailed into rescuing the president’s daughter from a prison planet.<br /><br />Peace’s wisecracks are actually the best part of the film.

Poignant story of a daughter having to deal with her mom's mental illness

Paper Spiders is about dealing with mental illness. Stefanie LaVie is a high school senior when her mother Lili Taylor starts becoming a paranoid schizophrenic. Things start off with Taylor just being quirky but she slowly but steadily deteriorates. That leads to some very touching moments when LaVie has to deal with her mother who is incoherent. It’s a lot to put on a teen trying to graduate and go to college when her only parent is breaking up mentally. I thought the ending was a bit dragged out but it was still a poignant story.

This is a documentary about trying to save a drive-in theater. A bunch of young people decided to work with an old man who owned the theater. They decided to show almost all retro movies.

Great characters and a strong story behind the origins of the haunted house

This is a really good kids’ animated tale about a haunted house. It does a good job setting up the prepubescent characters and their fear of the house across the street. Even the supporting characters like the baby sitter are well done. The best however is when the kids decide to go into the house. It turns out to be a really good story behind it. It reminds me of Stephen King’s It with the kids fighting a monster inside a house but of course toned down for a younger audience.

Movie surprised me at how good it was

Oblivion is a really good Sci-Fi film about memory and resistance. Tom Cruise is stationed on a destroyed Earth when he finds out he’s in an elaborate game seeking to control the planet. That’s connected to flashbacks that Cruise has of a past before an alien invasion.<br /><br />The movie begins with some great cinematography. Cruise has a floating base. There are giant water units over the ocean. There are scenes of landscapes and the planet’s destruction. It’s beautiful.<br /><br />Yes there’s action as well as Cruise gets into chases and shootings. More importantly there are some interesting plot twists as Cruise discovers what’s really going on.<br /><br />I wasn’t expecting much from this film other than guns and explosions but it definitely surprised me with a very smart story.

Who is Mr Arkadin?

Mr. Arkadin is a mystery by Orson Wells who wrote, directed and acted in the film. There’s a dramatic beginning with a voice over talking about an empty plane that was found flying over Spain on Christmas and it was connected to a death. The movie then flashes back to tell the story of how that happened. The plot was based upon a radio show about a mysterious character called Harry Lime which Wells had played in The Third Man. Mr. Arkadin has many of the same aesthetics as that movie with angled shots to show things are off balance and ample use of darkness and shadows to hint at the dark nature of the plot. It looks pretty amazing and the plot goes through all kinds of twists and turns.

Story falls flat and presents uninteresting production

In 2018 HBO released their own version of the classic Ray Bradbury book about censorship and freedom.<br /><br />The story keeps some of the original points and adds new twists to make it more up to date. For instance, the state has banned books, but now the Firemen who are the censors in society also monitor the Internet for illegal information. When they catch people downloading illegal materials onto the web called the 9 they make a public show of it broadcasting it on TV. Right at the start it lays out the theme that society and the government are about control.<br /><br />The problem with the production is that it has no soul. The story falls flat. It’s simply not engaging which is a huge disappointment.<br />C

More developed story and mythology than 1st Huntsman film

This was the second Huntsman film. It spends much more time developing the mythology of the characters specifically the relationship between the Queen/Charlize Theron and her sister Freya/Emily Blunt. That’s mostly done through voice overs by Liam Neeson followed by the events. Blunt is set up as another evil queen to rival Theron. It also acts as a prequel to the first film showing how the Huntsman/Chris Hemsworth came to be. There’s not as much action in this one compared to the other but I think the story is stronger. That’s what all the background is about to develop the plot and characters.

Still a great fictionalized view of England's Mod scene

Quadrophenia was about England’s Mod scene and based off of the Who’s rock opera. The film focuses upon the rise and fall of Jimmy (Phil Daniels) who at first escapes from his dreary life with his Mod friends and then everything comes apart on him. Throughout there is music by the Who.<br /><br />The start of the film is an introduction to the Mods via Jimmy. The first thing you see is Jimmy riding his decked out scooter with all kinds of extra lights and mirrors. Next he goes to a club to hang out, see a band play, do drugs and meet girls.<br /><br />The tension comes from two things. First, he can’t get the girl he likes which leads to constant frustration. Second, the rivals of the Mods are the Rockers. The two are constantly getting into fights. That comes a head at the climax when the Mods and Rockers meet in Brighton that turns into a running riot.<br /><br />This still stands up as a great look at part of English youth culture in the 1970s in obviously a very stylized and fictional manner.<br />C

Disappointed this movie wasn't funnier

Kingdom Come is a comedy-drama based around a family coming together for the funeral of the father. The problem is it isn’t that funny. The best part is the funeral where people act all crazy and out of control. Jada Pinkett Smith for instance jumps on top of the body. Another time she freaks out over the indiscretions of her husband Anthony Anderson. Otherwise laughs are sorely lacking. The drama’s not bad dealing with issues such as LL Cool J dealing with the death of his father and his relationship with his wife Vivica A. Fox. It’s just that I was looking for a lot more comedy and this movie failed to deliver.

A story about an avenging angel hellbent on retribution

Promising Young Woman is quite a rollercoaster ride of a movie. It goes from avenging angel to thinking about the future back to looking for retribution. The story revolves around Carey Mulligan who is haunted by the rape of her best friend while they were both in med school. She does an amazing job with her role being seemingly lost in the wilderness but with a driving secret mission. I liked how every time she tried to talk about her past people gave the same generic answers about being young and not wanting to wreck a man’s life while disregarding what happened to her friend. The ending had a quite unforeseen twist as well and things ended with a very large bang. Can’t recommend it enough.

Emphasizes heroism of British on Malta & glimpse into the island under siege

Malta is a small island in the Mediterranean south of Sicily which was controlled by the British during World War II. It was very important because it could be used to interdict Axis shipping during the war. The film focuses upon the island in 1942 as the Germans were attempting to seize it. It stars Alec Guinness as Lieutenant Peter Ross who lands on Malta, gets trapped there during the siege and falls in love with a Maltese woman named Maria (Muriel Pavlow). Malta Story is about the heroism of the British defending the island and a small glimpse into what life was like on the island during that period.<br /><br />The film was partly made on Malta and also used war footage from actual attacks upon the island. These are constantly shown throughout the film. That gave an air of authenticity to the story.<br /><br />The movie emphasizes the German bombing, the destruction it wrought, the shortages the island faced and the desperate attempt to keep it supplied. At the same time the Ross-Maria relationship is used to try to explain what the native Maltese were going through. Luckily it doesn’t get too melodramatic.<br /><br />Overall it’s a good war film about one very small but important part of World War II.

Interesting premise but it never developed

I never heard of this Scorsese film until now. The movie is about the strains Nicholas Cage goes through being a paramedic. They have Cage made up to look like he’s a zombie. He’s pale and has huge redbags around his eyes. He also sees ghosts of people that have died on his watch. He’s partnered with John Goodman, Ving Rahmes and Tom Sizemore each of which has outsized personalities. I thought it was an interesting premise but then the story didn’t go anywhere. Cage is still as messed up at the end as the start.

Fred Hampton was only 21 An amazing leader What happened to him was an American tragedy

I love this cast starting with Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield in the leads but there’s also Dominique Fishback, Algee Smith, Ashton Sanders and others. I was also tripping when I found out that Kenny and Keith Lucas were co-writers. These were the two stoned out twin brothers from 22 Jump Street.<br /><br />The movie focuses upon Lakeith Stanfield infiltrating the Black Panthers and being a spy for the FBI. His main target is Kaluuya who plays Chicago party head Fred Hampton. The story touches on the message of revolution the Black Panthers pushed and its organizing as well as how the government considered it a threat and tried to destroy it.<br /><br />Kaluuya really shines as Chairman Hampton. He shows strength and determination and gives great speeches. Stanfield is good as well showing how his conscience eventually ate at him. It’s amazing to find out that Hampton was only 21 when this all went down. To be so young and be such a leader is amazing. What happened to him in the end was a tragedy.

If you skip the Liv Tyler scenes the movie is quite good With her not so much

The Incredible Hulk also known as the forgotten film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Marvel was just starting its latest family of movies when this came out. Iron Man had just been released and this was the second in the series. It featured an all star cast of Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, Tim Roth as the Abomination and William Hurt as General Thunderbolt Ross, along with Kevin Feige as one of the producers. The story revolves around the government attempting to gain Banner’s secret. The problem was it tried to include a love story which threw everything off.<br /><br />The movie got off to a promising start. During the credits it showed how Banner’s experiments with gamma radiation backfired and gave birth to the Hulk. In the process he hurt General Ross and Betty. It’s later revealed that Banner was unwittingly working on a super serum program to try to recreate a Captain America type figure. That’s the reason why General Ross is hunting for him.<br /><br />It was when Banner returned to the U.S. in the middle that things started to go awry. Most important to that was the Banner-Betty Ross love affair. The two reconnect while Banner is also trying to find a cure to his Hulk problem. Even after a big action scene the story goes right back to Bruce and Betty. A love story was a trap too many superhero movies fell into and the Incredible Hulk was no different. As a result you get silly sequences like Bruce and Betty sleeping in separate beds longingly thinking about each other. Really if you skip all the scenes with Betty in it then the movie would be much better.<br /><br />Elements of The Incredible Hulk would be used in future MCU releases. Mark Ruffalo who took over the character would say in one of the Avengers’ movies that he “broke Harlem” in reference to the climax fight scene at the end of The Incredible Hulk. Hurt would also return to Ross in Captain America Civil War and The Avengers Infinity War.<br /><br />There are plenty of Eastern Eggs as usual like all the other Marvel movies. Betty for instance offers Banner a pair of purple pants which was what the Hulk always had in the comics. Later, Banner and Betty go see a scientist Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson). In the comics he’s The Leader one of the Hulk’s main foes. Another time Banner runs into a security guard played by Lou Ferrigno who played the Hulk in the 1970s on TV.<br /><br />Don’t forget the secret ending which features Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark talking to General Ross about trying to create a super soldier serum.<br /><br />The most important impact of the film was the question it raised, was the Hulk capable of holding down his own film or was he best as a supporting character such as in Thor Ragnarok and the Avengers movies? Can you spend up to two hours focusing upon a loner doctor that doesn’t want to turn into the Hulk? You definitely couldn’t do that if most of the movie was just on the Hulk as he only says two to three words. These lessons were obviously learned by Marvel and is the reason why they never attempted another solo Hulk flick.

Good but could have been better

This concert took place in 1982 and is titled The Farewell Concert because the band broke up for several years after this show before they eventually got back together. They certainly tried to go out with a bang with a full brass section backing them up. Here’s what confused me. If this was going to be their last show why didn’t they play nothing but hits. They had enough material to do just that. Instead they throw in a bunch of filler and even come out for an encore doing the Stones’ Start Me Up. WHY?! That meant this was a good show but it could have been better.

1 of my favs as a kid and still stands up to this day

I saw this movie over 20 times in a movie theater when it first came out. That says a lot about how I felt about this film. It still stands up to this day.<br /><br />The beginning is so iconic. Holly is playing at a roller skating rink and does a traditional Country song with absolutely no response. Then he decides to do a Rock tune and everything changes like someone just turned on the lights in the joint.<br /><br />A couple things that really stood out about the story. 1st Gary Busey as Holly had a vision and an attitude to achieve his vision. He also performs all the songs which was impressive. 2nd it takes pokes at the entertainment industry with people complaining about “Colored music”, telling artists they couldn’t record their own sound, and more. 3rd comedian Paul Mooney played Sam Cooke! I never knew he did serious acting before.

Mediocre shark film

Deep Blue Sea is about experiments upon sharks which goes awry. This is based upon the age old trope that goes back as far as Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein that when man messes with nature it bites back. The question was whether they could make this an interesting shark film or whether it would just fall into stereotypes. Unfortunately it went for the latter. Hence the sharks attempt to attack Thomas Jane and he goes swimming with them anyways. The only thing that really stood out was Samuel L. Jackson going into a big monologue. It has a fantastic ending. Otherwise mediocre shark film.

Coming of age? Pseudo-horror? A sickness or a spirt? Some questions the movie raises

Royal Hightower is a quiet 11 year old girl who trains relentlessly for boxing with her older brother Da’Sean Minor. One day she sees a dance off between some girls however which captures her imagination. It means a whole new world with a new discipline and most importantly people as she’s only really been with her brother before. Director Anna Rose Holmer drives that last point home in one scene where Hightower is in the locker room packed with girls and goes to the bathroom so she can be by herself. She eavesdrops on two older girls and only emerges when everyone else has left.<br /><br />That’s all good but it’s not all. Older girls on the dance team start having convulsions and getting sick. It changes up the entire dynamic from being a coming of age tale to a pseudo-horror story. It never gives any explanation for what happens. Was it a sickness? Was it a spirit searching for the right vessel? It just ends. It also raises questions about the title. Was it the fits that the girls were hit with? Was it about fitting in? Again they’re just left as open questions.

The shinning star of Ferrell's career that also deals with sexism in the workplace

Anchorman will always go down as one of Will Ferrell’s greatest comedies. His success was in part due to working with director Adam McKay and producer Judd Apatow. Ferrell and McKay also wrote the script. Together they were able to create a whole fantasy world in 1970s San Diego based upon Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) the top newscaster in the city and his news team made up of Paull Rudd as reporter Brian Fantana, Steve Carell as weatherman Brick Tamland and David Koechner as sportscaster Champ Kind. They are on top of the world when they have to deal with Christina Applegate as Veronica Corningstone. Not only does she disrupt the male dominated world of the news cast but starts an affair with Burgundy and wants to become an anchor as well. The story is about the struggle between her aspirations and the news team’s sexism.<br /><br />What made the movie so good was the ridiculous situations they created. For instance, each one of the team introduces himself with Brick saying people seem to like him because he’s polite and is rarely late and years later a doctor will tell him that he’s mentally retarded while he puts mayonnaise into a toaster. Another time the team is asking Burgundy what it feels like to be in love and the next thing you know they’re singing Afternoon Delight. He’s also very attached to his dog and talks to him but gets frustrated with him when he speaks Spanish. Every scene is like this.<br /><br />The story quickly focuses upon the sexism of the news team. When it’s announced that Corningstone is joining the station the team goes to their manager to complain. Champ says the title of the job is “anchorman” not “anchorlady” and says that’s a scientific fact. Brick chimes in by yelling he doesn’t know what they’re talking about, then says, “Loud noises” and that when women have their period it attracts bears. After that each one of the team agrees they will compete to see who will be able to date Corningstone. They make all kinds of crude passes at her including Fantana putting on a cologne called Sex Panther that makes the whole newsroom run away it smells so bad. Even though its comedy this is actually some real social commentary as women were rejected as equals in the workplace in the 1970s. The dilemma of course is whether the news team can accept Corningstone as an equal or not.<br /><br />It’s all pretty amazing and a great laugh.<br />C

If you want the 1st 3 Indiana Jones movies this is the perfect collection

This collection includes the first three Indiana Jones movies The Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade plus a fourth DVD with special material.<br /><br />Raiders of the Lost Ark was a fantastic collaboration between George Lucas who co-wrote the screenplay and Steven Spielberg who directed it. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) goes on an adventure looking for the Ark of the Covenant from the Bible before the Nazis can find it. It takes him across the world and eventually to Egypt. Jones’ companion was Marion (Karen Allen) an old flame who proved to be Jones’ equal in terms of attitude, spunk and willingness to fight.<br /><br />The Temple of Doom was a step backwards for the franchise. It was like an exploitation movie with a cult as the villains, a disrespectful portrayal of Indian culture and a very annoying sidekick in Willie (Kate Capshaw) who spent almost the entire movie whining and screaming. It had scenes specifically created to have her freak out. It’s very disappointing compared to the other releases in the series.<br /><br />Finally, the Last Crusade has Jones and his estranged father played by Sean Connery on a quest to find the Holy Grail trying to outsmart the Nazis in the process. This harkened back to Raiders with its sense of adventure, excitement and mystery. Ford and Connery create a great odd couple with lots of levity and jokes as they get deeper and deeper into trouble.<br /><br />The last DVD is a documentary going behind the scenes of all three of the films with interviews, etc.<br /><br />Overall this is a great collection. The only drawback is that it doesn’t include the last film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.<br />C

Creates new images of dysfunction

Evan Rachel Wood, Richard Jenkins and Debra Winger are a family of elaborate con artists. The things they do like stealing from the post office, finding gift certificates and trying to return them for cash, etc, are hilarious. The point of the film however is about how Wood feels neglected by their lifestyle. That’s because she has a completely dysfunctional family. There’s one very emotional scene where Wood asks Winger to call her “hun” and she can’t do it. Her life finally begins to change when she meets Gina Rodriguez. Wood delivers an amazing and memorable performance. In fact, the entire cast stands out for their quirkiness. To say Kajillionaire is unique is an understatement.

2 psychics battle it out

Fear had an original twist to it. Ally Sheedy is a psychic that works with the police but then she finds a killer who is psychic as well and can bond with her mind and send her messages. Every time he kills someone he takes Sheedy along for the ride mentally. I liked this back and forth between the two. It added a real sense of tension and drama to the story as the killer tried to toy with Sheedy. Makes for a good crime flick.

OK Kaiju movie Just wish there was more to it

At the end of World War II the Nazis delivered to Japan Dr. Frankenstein’s invention, an indestructible heart. Unfortunately it was taken to Hiroshima and then lost when the atomic bomb was dropped on the city. Flash forward to the 1960s and somehow that heart transformed into a boy that became a giant that would defend Japan against a monster known as Baragon.<br /><br />Here’s my problem with the movie. 1st it spends way too much time on Frankenstein as a kid and growing into a giant. There is not much interesting here. Second Baragon looks goofy. His eyes are too big which makes him look like a cartoon character. When I watch Kaiju movies I want to see a lot of guys in plastic suits smashing things and fighting. That comes at the end but I wish they would have had some more dispersed throughout the film.<br /><br />Overall Frankenstein isn’t bad but it’s definitely a second rank Kaiju movie.<br />C

Later, a feral boy with a certain physical deformity (a large head with a flat top) is captured by scientists who refer to the boy as Frankenstein. The creature grows to the height of 20 feet, escapes again, fights police and army, and is practically indestructible. Later, a reptilian monster goes on a rampage.

Unsuccessfully tried to make Dracula a romance

This version of Dracula featured Frank Langella as the vampire and Laurence Olivier as his nemesis Professor Van Helsing. The story was another adaptation of the Bram Stoker original book. If you know the story this version contains all the major events such as Dracula arriving in England upon what looked like an abandoned boat. At first Dracula is accepted into the local community and then he sets upon the local women which draws in Van Helsing to stop him. He’s assisted by Jonathan Hawker (Trevor Eve) and Dr. Jack Seward (Donald Pleasence). The twist in this film was that they tried to make it a love story between Dracula and Lucy played by Kate Neligan. Instead of Dracula just attempting to seduce women to suck their blood, Langella’s version showed actual affection for Lucy. Francisco Ford Coppola’s version of Dracula did a much better job with this theme while maintaining a strong sense of a horror film. The latter was what this film was missing, which made it a disappointment. You don’t watch Dracula films for romance and romance only, but that’s all you really got with this movie.<br />C

The album that made Iron Maidan an international hit

Iron Maiden was my band during Junior High School. This was the first album of theirs that I owned. It started a love for their music. I can still listen to this record today and enjoy it. It was also huge for them because it was what broke them out of the club scene into arenas. As with other shows in this series they interview the band, and other people involved with them. Go into the studio and breakdown the different tracks of some songs. One my favorite parts was singer Bruce Dickerson talking about his love for the TV show The Prisoner and dressing up like star of the series Patrick McGoohan and being chased by a bouncing ball.

Like getting a Godzilla movie each week on your TV

Eiji Tsuburaya was responsible for the special effects on Godzilla and the spinoff movies. He wanted to bring that quality to the small screen. He was also a huge fan of the Twilight Zone. Together that led to the Ultra Q TV series where Kenji Sahara, Hiroko Sakurai, and Yasuhiko Saijou would investigate strange events. It would give birth to the Ultraman family afterward.<br /><br />The first episode shows all those influences as a monster Gomess is found underground during a construction project. The monster is a Godzilla outfit with some additions. The next one features a giant ape which was taken from Godzilla vs King Kong.<br /><br />Watching this show in the 1960s must have been like getting a Godzilla movie once a week on your TV.

Turned out to be too predictable

The Poseidon Adventure was one of those 1970s disaster films which were so popular at the time. They featured big all star casts and some kind of accident that threatened their lives.<br /><br />The best part of the movie is that it doesn’t waste any time getting to the disaster. 30 minutes in and the boat has run into trouble. I commend the writers for that because some might have dragged out the getting to know all the elements of the ensemble cast first.<br /><br />As for the actual story I wasn’t as interested in it as some other similar films of the time like Towering Inferno. This one just seemed more predictable than usual. They swim around the boat. They crawl through small spaces. Some people get lost, etc.

Had high hopes but was disappointed with the movie

Proud Mary is obviously influenced by Blaxploitation from the poster work to the opening credits to the Temptation’s Papa Was A Rolling Stone blasting at the opening. The story is about Taraji P. Henson who is an enforcer for a gangster taking in a local kid Jahi Di’Allo and creating a makeshift family amidst the violent world they live in. With that start I had high hopes for the movie but was disappointed. It’s not bad but there’s nothing really special about it either. There was nothing new. Nothing surprising. No twists. Henson just gets to play with a lot of guns.

A critique of the samurai with a truly tragic ending

Revenge was a 1964 Samurai period piece released by Toei. It featured writer Shonbu Hashimoto who had worked on Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and Rashomon and starred Kinnosuke Nakamura as the main character Shinpachi. He’s challenged to a duel by Tatsunosuke. This becomes a huge event for the clan. The story is then about how this feud started between the two, their fight, and its consequences. It turns out everything began over a flippant remark about a spear that had many unintended consequences. This is relayed through a series of flashbacks, something Hashimoto also employed in Rashomon.<br /><br />One of the standout scenes is when Shinpachi is exiled to a monastery for punishment. The head monk gave up on trying to make him a holy man, but told him to run away to another fief and start a new life with the girl he liked. The monk warned that if he stayed he would get caught up in the samurai code of saving face and honor, which could only bring trouble. The monk said that heaven and hell is not in the afterlife but right here on Earth and he had the choice to pick which one he would face.<br /><br />Just as important the film portrays the psychological toll Shinpachi’s actions have upon him. He’s declared insane at the start of the movie, and then starts to actually go crazy during his exile at the monastery. In a great piece of Japanese symbolism his mental state is shown in the weather.<br /><br />Finally, Revenge is a critique of the samurai. Shinpachi is a lowly swordsman with no formal position within the clan. He should have never gotten in trouble and as things escalate the entire clan gets involved because it has to save its honor or forever lose face if it allows someone like Shinpachi show them up. Instead of the noble samurai, Revenge shows them as upper class snobs. Rather than admire Shinpachi for his skill as a fighter, the only thing the clan can think about is the fact that he is poor. The samurai were not about meritocracy or even the warrior spirit but rather keeping everyone in their place, especially if they were downtrodden.<br /><br />The ending is a true tragedy and makes Revenge a standout release in samurai cinema.<br />C

When the Transporter series became routine

By this time the Transporter series had become routine. Jason Statham has to take someone, this time Natalya Rudakova to Budapest. Along the way Statham gets into all kinds of fights, gets to take his shirt off, show that he can ride a bike as well as drive his car, and does all kinds of car stunts. Not only that but it seemed like after each action sequence things got more over the top. It’s not bad but it’s not as good as the previous two either.

Connery dominates the narrative as an angry and obsessed cop

I watched this movie because I love Sean Connery. He plays a cop who beat to death a suspect Ian Brannen who he believed was a child molester. The movie tries to explain why Connery did it. He has a look of utter contempt, anger and obsession. In one scene he shows how he takes his work home with him as he gets drunk and yells at his wife. In another images flash upon the screen of him thinking of a girl who was raped. He starts hitting his head on the table he’s so frustrated. The movie starts off slowly but then Connery eventually dominates the narrative. There’s more than meets the eye to his character in what becomes a psychological drama about him. The film was directed by Sidney Lumet of 12 Angry Men and Dog Day Afternoon fame.

Maintains its status as a classic rom-com

When Harry Met Sally is a classic rom-com. Meg Ryan met Billy Crystal when they were in college and didn’t like each other. They get in an argument about whether men and women can be friends and not be sexual with each other. Years later they meet again and try to see whether Crystal’s argument was true or not. Most of the movie turns out to be Crystal dominating the scenes. He has something to say about everything but mostly he talks about relationships. Ryan is the much more reserved character. Their relationship is interesting because you can see on their faces when things change but it’s emotionally and mentally. It takes a while for them to act on it but again, it’s shown in their faces. I also never thought of Billy Crystal as a romantic lead but he pulls it off. In the end, When Harry Met Sally has maintained its status as a classic.

Plot to overthrow the Shogunate by corrupt and hapless samurai

A coup against the Head Elder of the Shogunate Sakai Uta no kami is foiled. The lower samurai involved talk about how they don’t earn enough to eat and support their families and blame the corruption of the Shogunate and the Head Elder. Most of the conspirators were rounded up and tortured. One of the masterminds turned out to be a coward and reveals those involved. In the middle of everything was Jimbo a shogunate bodyguard who wasn’t even involved, but he was rounded up and his wife murdered. He decides to join in. Thus is the plot of The Great Killing.<br /><br />There is one giant sword battle at the end, but that’s actually secondary to the plot.<br /><br />The movie focuses upon the frustration of the plotters as some are arrested while others are on the run. The standout character doesn’t turn out to be them or Jimbo but rather Miss Miya who repeatedly gives up her body because she believes in the plot so much. The men think they are the righteous but their abuse of Miya show that they are no better.<br /><br />Overall the film is a condemnation of the samurai. The lords that ran the Shogunate were corrupt and didn’t care about the common people. Those that were opposed to the rulers were simple minded believing assassinating a single high official would change the Shogunate system. This was feudal Japan which was authoritarian and had a strict social system where few people could change their lot.<br />C

The best Alex Cross film adaptation

This is my favorite Alex Cross adaptation. This one features Morgan Freeman as Cross who’s brought in to try to find the kidnapped daughter of a senator. She’s taken by a master criminal Michael Wincott who is a meticulous planner and has bigger plans in store. The story is a cat and mouse affair with Wincott trying to manipulate the police while Freeman looks for clues. Wincott plays a good villain which is always important in such movies and Freeman is the consummate super detective. There’s a big twist at the end as well. For movie nerds parts of the story are an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low and one scene where Freeman tries to drop off a ransom to Wincott on a train is directly taken from the Japanese movie.

Love story posing as a crime drama

Leather Jackets is a love story posing as a crime drama. Four friends are on the run from a Vietnamese gang but the heart of the story is three of them talking about their involvement in a love triangle. One talks about their first time together.

Brad Pitt is so bad in places but Tom Cruise steals the show in this epic story

I think Interview With The Vampire was the first to create a truly epic story which vampires deserved. That was thanks to the book it was based upon. The funny thing is Brad Pitt is the lead and his acting is really bad at moments. During the start for instance he’s a gentleman in New Orleans and his accent is horrible. If he’d been consistent instead of up and down this movie would have just been incredible. It was still good and that’s thanks to Tom Cruise. He ran with his character with all its flamboyance and blood sucking delight.<br /><br />The story focuses upon Pitt being a tortured soul because he’s conflicted over being a vampire. That causes conflict with everyone. It also brings up the role of sex and sexuality which has long been part of the vampire mythos. There are several scenes where Cruise bites a woman for example and they go into ecstasy while Pitt flirts with a gay relationship with Antonio Banderas.<br /><br />This is still a must see. It paints a picture across centuries and Tom Cruise is a delight.

It's like a western Kaiju film

I saw this in a movie theater when it came out so it’s a bit nostalgic for me. It features Doug McClure and Peter Cushing ending up in the center of the Earth where humans are slaves to a bunch of bird people. The best way to enjoy the film is to look at it as something akin to a Japanese Kaiju film. It’s got a bunch of people in plastic suits being monsters. Some of them look a bit goofy but that was what they had at the time and they went all in on it.

Relies upon its quirky characters

Waiting For Guffman was Christopher Guest’s satirical documentary. It would set up most of his following films like Best In Show in terms of style and tone. It portrays a small town in Missouri preparing to celebrate its 150 year anniversary with a play about its history. It interviews a series of eccentric characters played by people like Eugene Levy, Fred Willard, Catherine O’Hara, Parker Posey and of course Guest himself. I have to say the movie isn’t a laugh out loud comedy. It does have some funny moments but mostly relies upon the quirkiness of the characters.

Action monster movie with revolution as the underlying theme

Underworld brought a new and original take to two mainstays of the monster genre, vampires and werewolves or lycans as they are called here. In this world the two were in constant battle. Selene (Kate Beckinsale) was a vampire Death Dealer tasked with hunting down and killing the lycans. Lucian (Michael Sheen) was the head of the lycans who had a plan to end the war by finding the last relative of the Corvinus family which gave birth to all the vampires and lycans. Lucian’s idea is to find this person and make them a hybrid vampire-lycan to re-unite the two bloodlines. This is of course opposed by the current vampire lord Viktor (Bill Nighy). The vampires definitely have the upper hand in this battle and the lycans are the oppressed. The plot then revolves around revolution by Lucian who wants to overthrow the status quo.<br /><br />The action scenes are very well done with a mix of special effects for the lycans and gun play and acrobatics by the vampires. The revolution theme is also highlighted as the werewolves are literally living below the surface at the bottom while the vampires are on the surface, which is the top. The movie also has a heavy Gothic style in terms of architecture, the dark tones, and the black clothing, and pale faces. It goes well with the subject matter.<br /><br />Here's my one complaint. When they find Corvunus' last relative and turn him into a hybrid it doesn't look a vampire-lycan mix. They could have done a lot better with that.<br /><br />Overall, Underworld was a very good monster mash. It wasn’t scary at all, but rather an action movie with a smattering of the oppressed attempting to change their lot in life.<br />C

Beavis and Butt-Head return with more of their low brow humor magic

This new Beavis and Butt-Head movie is more of the low brow humor that made the TV series a hit. That leads to scenes where they snicker over seeing the word Johnson written on a sign or laughing over the name Woodson, “You have wood son.” It’s nothing ground breaking but it is entertaining. Basically if you liked anything Mike Judge did with this duo before you’ll like this.

Endearing coming of age story

This is a funny and endearing coming of age story. Kira McLean is at a new school with a perm that everyone makes fun of. She comes home and her parents, Patricia Arquette and Rainn Wilson are arguing and unrealistic in their view on life. All three actors are great. McLean captures the essence of a young teenager trying to fit in. Kids can be really cruel sometimes and that’s what she has to deal with but she’s resilient. It makes for a very sympathetic character. The parents are just as good representing the struggles of working class families. At one point Arquette says her family is poor and she’s proud, but she actually feels the opposite which leads to plenty of conflict. Wilson also adds the laughs with his eccentricities.

Going from hate to finding one's humanity

Going from hate to finding one’s humanity. That’s the theme of American History X a powerful movie with a great performance by Edward Norton. Norton was raised on ideas of white victimization and later joined a Nazi youth group talking about taking back their neighborhood that led to a world of violence that surrounded him and his little brother played by Edward Furlong. The best part of the film might be Norton’s transformation while he was in prison which came about in part through his friendship with Guy Torry as they folded laundry. To think that a hardcore Nazi could be turned around by a fast talking black guy while they handle people’s underwear in a correctional facility is beyond ironic. Really though the film is all about Norton. You can totally believe in his character and how difficult it was for him to leave behind all the racist ideas which once made up his world. Highly recommended.

Charlie Tahan is a loser driving a bus depressed about his life.

They didn't know what to do with the story and it turned into a trainwreck as a result

The Eternals is THE most disappointing Marvel film so far. Yes there have been some lackluster releases before. I wasn’t that hot on Ms. Marvel and thought Spider-Man Far From Home was a total miss. This movie however was a disaster.<br /><br />The major problem was that the writers didn’t seem to know what to do with the story. On the one hand it seemed like it wanted to be an epic historical drama as it started off in 5,000 B.C. Mesopotamia. It then flips to the present where things play out like any other Marvel movie. It felt like they wanted to do something special, but then on second thought decided not to. The result was a poor plot overall.<br /><br />It even gets worse though. There are some parts that are horribly acted and others that are just plain boring.<br /><br />The good parts were few and far between. One of the things that did work was Kumail Nanjiani becoming a Bollywood star with his sidekick Harish Patel. Yeah he’s an Eternal but he really just wants to be a famous actor. They provide some laughs. However that can’t make up for how poor The Eternals was.

Marvel's 1st blockbuster about how growing power of Earth brought new challenges from other worlds

The Avengers was Marvel’s first blockbuster. It brought together all the main characters that had been introduced in the previous films. It was a tale about how great power brought great challenges. The emergence of super heroes on Earth led to new threats in this case Thanos and the Chitauri led by Loki in an invasion of Earth.<br /><br />The story focuses upon Thanos looking for the Tesseract, which had not yet been revealed as containing an Infinity Stone. Thanos sent Loki to sow chaos upon Earth and obtain the Tesseract followed by an invasion by the Chitauri to conquer the planet. Joss Whedon and Zak Penn wrote the story and Whedon handled the screenplay. They did a really good job putting together this super team. It didn’t take the easy way out with bad guys show up, good guys unite and there’s a big battle, end of story. Instead, each one of the heroes had to be collected together and turned into a team, which was not easy at first. Banner for example was brought into a trap by Romanoff. When Captain America, Iron Man and Romanoff captured Loki, Thor came in to take him back to Asgard which led to a minor battle between Iron Man, Cap and the Thunder God. Stark didn’t trust Fury and spied upon SHIELD. Loki also attempted to divide the Avengers when they weren’t really together yet as well. This added twists and turns and some tension.<br /><br />Of course, in the end there was a giant battle in Manhattan. That was quite well done. You had just six heroes fighting an alien army. That could have been done really badly such as the climax battle in X-Men: Last Stand, which was horrible done. This also played upon the theme of the movie that now that Earth had heroes and found tremendous power in the Tesseract other beings would challenge it. This was actually a reaction to the arrival of Thor and the feeling that the Earth was too weak to stand up to beings from other worlds thus creating a series of escalations that resulted in the Avengers show down.<br /><br />In the end, the Avengers movie was rightly labeled a blockbuster. It was everything the audience wanted, great characters, a well written story, and big action.<br />C

Great stories saves traditional doc with too many talking heads

Lambert and Stamp wanted to be film makers. They decided that they could discover a band, manage them, make them a hit and that would be the basis of their film. The group turned out to by The Who. This is their story.<br /><br />It’s definitely got a crazy plot. Who would ever think of managing a band as a basis for making a movie? Given the premise you know there are some interesting stories. One was how Lambert came from a rich family and knew how to scam money from people as a result because if you lived in the right neighborhood they assumed you were upper class and gave you things on credit.<br /><br />Otherwise the documentary is very traditional with talking head after talking head, archival footage and not enough Who music.

John Fogerty was a control freak

Ali was a history maker in a time when history was being made by African Americans

Ali was Michael Mann’s biography of Mohammed Ali.<br /><br />The start places Ali within the larger context of African American history. Sam Cooke is performing at a concert. A young Ali sees the paper with a picture of a young Emmett Till’s face bashed in from his murder in Mississippi. Ali listens to a sermon by Malcolm X. That leads up to Ali as he fights Sonny Liston for the heavyweight title in 1964. Before and after the fight he’s visited by Malcolm X. Afterward Ali changed his name from Cassius Clay to Mohammed Ali as he became a Muslim in the Nation of Islam. The point of all this was that Ali was making history along with his times. This theme would continue throughout the movie. That was important. Mann could have just stuck with his boxing career, but Ali was always far more than that. Without including his role in politics and culture it would not have been a full picture of his life and impact. It’s also what makes this a must see.

A story about manipulation and deception

Outrage is a story about manipulation and deception. Jun Kunimura gets in trouble with his Yakuza boss and has to cover up his business dealings by starting a war with his partner. That’s the job of his underling Takeshi Kitano. The dilemma is whether Kitano will be played the fool in this game?<br /><br />There are some great gangster moments in Outrage like the cutting of fingers, the throwing of insults, and some really bloody bits as well. Ultimately it’s about how the Yakuza talk about honor and family but are a bunch of backstabbers who will do anything to each other if it means more profits. It’s great! Outrage is one of my favorite Yakuza movies and I’ve seen a lot from old traditional ones to new school releases. This one really stands out.

It's not bad but I wouldn't watch it again

I like a lot of Barbara Streisand’s old movies but this one is just okay. Funny Girl is a romance and musical following Streisand’s career in the Ziegfeld Follies and her love affair with Omar Sharif. Streisand is spunky and has a sense of humor in spots. That wasn’t enough to keep me entertained however. None of the songs really stood out except for the closing number. It’s not bad but I wouldn’t watch it again.

Geek tries to find his California Dream and California girl

Dennis Christopher plays a total square who comes to Los Angeles seeking the California Dream. He meets Seymour Cassell who takes him in and tries to mentor him around his geekiness. There’s surfing, the beach and a lot of blondes involved. I’ve always like Christopher since he was in Breaking Away. He makes for an annoying and yet endearing character just trying to fit in and trying to get the girl. Cassell is good as well as a blowhard.

If you love 70s Blaxploitation then you gotta watch these trailers

This is a collection of 1970s movie trailers for some of the best Blaxploitation flicks of the period such as Hell Up In Harlem, Shaft, and Superfly. It even gets into more obscure releases such as Black Shampoo and Savage! It’s great to see them with all the black heroes like Richard Roundtree, Fred Williamson and Jim Brown. Despite the movies being exploitation and covering many of the same themes such as sticking it to the man they were the first time black men got to assert their manhood far beyond anything Sidney Poitier got to do. He just slapped a white man in They Call Me Mr Tibbs. These guys got to kill them and sleep with their women! The movie also included all the black heroine films like TNT Jackson, Cleopatra Jones, and my favs Pam Grier’s Coffy and Foxy Brown along with the Black Horror genre which was an offshoot such as Blacula who was termed “Dracula’s Soul Brother.”

Best kind of food-travel shows make you want to eat everyting they show

The best food-travel shows are the ones that make you want to eat everything and that was definitely true of this series. There are four episode in this series which features Yunnan province which is in southeastern China.<br /><br />The first thing people need to realize is that barely anything they eat in the west is actual Chinese food. What we eat is all Chinese American food, and much of the similar cuisine is found in Canada and Europe. Here you get to see real Chinese food and there are so many variations because China is huge in terms of size with the biggest population in the world. What you learn is that there is actually cheese in China, green salads, etc. The only thing that I would pass on is the raw pork that’s served in Yunnan. He’s given some skin at first and it seemed like it was too chewy to be enjoyable.<br /><br />Overall, it’s a fun adventure that host Mark Weins takes you on and makes you want to find out more about Chinese cuisine.

Weakest of the original 3 Star Wars films

Return Of The Jedi was the third and final installment of the original Star War Series. It was much anticipated as it was not only the conclusion but was to answer several hanging questions such as the fate of Han Solo and the conflict between Luke Skywalker and his father Darth Vader. While it did that it also showed problems George Lucas was having with his series. First, it introduced the annoying trend of almost every Star Wars film having a Death Star. It also revealed his growing penchant towards cute and cuddly characters that would appeal to kids. It raised the question of whether Lucas was running out of original ideas for this series.<br /><br />The movie can really be broken up into two parts, the first being good and the second part lacking. The first resolved what happened to Solo when he was sent to Jabba the Hutt. Then Luke returns for more training with Yoda. Finally, Luke gets to confront his father Darth Vader again, but this time the Emperor of the Empire is involved. There were some issues early on, but they really got to be prominent in the second half. There were the Ewoks who were small fuzzy little bears that Princess Leah ran into. These were obviously aimed at little kids and pointed to Star Wars going from a movie for all ages to one aimed just at young people. You could see this direction at the start at Jabba the Hutt’s court which looked like an outer space version of the Muppet Show. Second, the end of the movie deals with another Death Star needed to be destroyed. It was just a rehash of Star Wars A New Hope. Was this the best Lucas could do to finish off his classic trilogy? Was he bankrupt of new themes to explore? It definitely seemed like it and was the reason why Return of the Jedi was the weakest of first three Star Wars films.<br />C

Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard unleashes Salma Hayek. She not only gets to shoot a lot of people but she cusses them out left and right. She’s the highlight because she makes every scene she’s in fun.

Comradery and leadership in an AZ fire fighting team

California has huge forest fires every year so I was interested in watching this movie about a team of fire fighters in Arizona. I didn’t know it would be such a tragedy. The majority of the film focuses upon the leadership of Josh Brolin putting his crew together and shaping it into an elite unit. There’s also the comradery between the men. Miles Teller for instance plays a screw up who grew up and became responsible thanks to Brolin and his friendship with other members. It becomes a very moving and emotional movie.

St Vincent is an odd ball comedy with Bill Murray as a hopeless loser who befriends Jaeden Martell a kid that moves in next door.

The initial one dealt with the extra-legal means the U.S. government was using in the war on drugs versus the Mexican cartels while also showing the costs Mexicans pay for that conflict. This one involves the Mexican cartels selling their services to Islamic terrorists, the covert means American was using to counter them, and this time how Mexican-Americans were caught up in the middle. This storyline is playing upon huge fears some have propagated since 9/11 to justify tighter border controls to keep out illegal immigrants from Mexico.<br /><br />The story is very close to the first movie. U.S. secret operative Matt (Josh Brolin) and Alejandro (Benicia del Toro) hatch a plan to manipulate the Mexican cartels once again. it shows that the U.S. government isn’t trying to stop the cartels or the flow of gangs, but rather manage them via manipulation, assassinations, kidnappings, etc.<br /><br />The inclusion of Muslim terrorists was pushing the boundaries a bit, but overall the film is still enjoyable. The major message is that the war on drugs is not really a war. There is no chance of winning it. The best hope is to contain little bits of it.<br />C

Alejandro kidnaps the kingpin’s daughter to inflame the conflict – but when the girl is seen as collateral damage, her fate will come between the two men as they question everything they are fighting for..

It's a fun ride

Ambulance has a simple premise. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is in between a rock and a hard place. Out of desperation he goes to his brother Jake Gyllenhaal for help who gets him involved in a major crime which leads them into a high speed chase across Los Angeles driving an ambulance. Michael Bay loves big action flicks and he didn’t disappoint here.<br /><br />After the short intro about Abdul-Mateen’s situation things quickly get to guns, cops and the expenditure of ammunition. The first action scene reminded me of heat with a lot of guys shooting in the middle of downtown Los Angeles.<br /><br />Even though Abdul Mateen started off the movie he was surprisingly quiet for most of the film. At the same time he was the conscience of the criminals. Gyllenhaal on the other hand was the exact opposite being loud and boisterous. Eiza Gonzalez was an EMT in the ambulance and had the right attitude to deal with the two men. The cop, Garret Dillahunt and FBI agent, Keir O’Donnell, who are in charge of the chase also have a good back and forth with Dillahunt looking down at O’Donnell.<br /><br />All together it was a fun ride.

Story is bad and the animated parts don't work

In 1945 Frank (Brad Pitt) gets into a motorcycle accident that causes the death of his mother and for him to get a concussion. He wakes up in Cool World, an animated universe. Then in 1992 Jack (Gabriel Byrne) who is a prisoner gets sucked into Cool World as well by Holli (Kim Bassinger) a character he’d been drawing for years while he’d been locked up. Holli wants to use him to cross over and become a real person.<br /><br />There are immediate problems with the film. First, it’s not funny. There are all kinds of little animated bits that are supposed to be for comedic effect and none of them work. Second, the interactions between the live characters and cartoons aren’t really believable either. That means this is no Who Framed Roger Rabbit? It’s just a big disaster.

A great look into how music is made

I've come to really like this series Classic Album where they breakdown a specific LP and the band taht made it. There are interviews with all the members of Deep Purple and they go through the main songs. What I like the best is that they get into the creative process and how songs were put together. As part of tha tthey go into a studio and run through the original recordings, isolating a specific instrument for example and talk about how things like the guitar solo was done or the keyboards in another. It just gives a great look into how music is made.

John Carpenter was asked to make a cheap exploitation film and created Assault on Precinct 13

John Carpenter was asked to make a cheap exploitation film and the result was Assault On Precinct 13. The story was very simple. A gang had some members killed by the police so they decided to get revenge by attacking Precinct 13. The problem was they didn’t know the station was being closed and there was hardly anybody inside. In fact, half the people inside the precinct were prisoners that were dropped off during a transfer to another jail. The story is about the siege of the building and how the cops and the prisoners joined together to defend themselves.<br /><br />Most of the movie is pretty exciting. You’ve got mobs of gang members outside shooting up the precinct. At the end however it doesn’t really make sense because suddenly the gang doesn’t have any guns. They had to do that to allow for the climax scene. Still for something made so cheaply Carpenter did quite a job.<br />C

More of a psychological thriller about a group shipwrecked on an island than monster movie

While the title of the film might suggest that this is a monster movie it really isn’t. The movie is more of a psychological thriller based upon a small group of people being stuck on an abandoned island, and their will to survive or turn on each other.<br /><br />The film stars Kui Mizuno, Kenji Sahara, Hiroshi Tachikawa, Yoshio Tsuchiya, Hiroshi Koizumi and Miki Yashiro as they get shipwrecked on a barren island. While the film is called the Mushroom People it’s actually about the castaways. As more time passes and supplies lesson they begin to steal from each other and plot against one another. Out of desperation they start eating the mushrooms on the island which infect them. What’s funny is when they eat the mushrooms they act like they’re high.<br /><br />While interesting it’s not the greatest film. A lot of the story drags when they're stuck and can't find anything to do or eat. The ending saves the day but it takes too long to get to that point.<br />C

The Wonder Years if they were about the struggling urban working class

Tender Bar reminds me of the TV show The Wonder Years if it was about struggling working class white people in the city instead of the stereotypical middle class one in the suburbs. The plot focuses upon JR played by Daniel Ranieri when he is a kid and Tye Sheridan as a young man. Like in The Wonder Years there’s a voice over commentary by the main character focusing upon things like his deadbeat dad or his mom who had her dreams destroyed or his lost love. Both Ranieri and Sheridan hold down their parts well. Ranieri is the wide boy taking in everything good and bad while Sheridan is trying to find himself. The theme is about whether JR can shed his past to start his own life. It’s all a great and entertaining mix.

Trainwreck of a film that couldn't decide whether it was a spoof or serious

I don’t understand this movie. Sometimes it’s a spoof and other times it tries to be serious. First off, the voice overs are ridiculous giving the characters all kinds of strange voice and accents. Then there are oddball bits like when a character orders a pizza with anchovies or another talks about Pizza Hut. Then the actual story is about fighting the hated Manchus, a mainstay of Hong Kong films. The result was a trainwreck because the two didn’t mix. Either you make jokes the entire film or not.

My fav modern take on Shakespeare

Romeo + Juliet places the Shakespearean classic in modern times while maintaining the original language. The two rival families the Capulets and the Montagues are portrayed as mafias competing for control of the city of Verona Beach. It’s a great adaptation with some exaggerations to add some laughs such as the opening scene where members of the two families meet in a gas station, pass insults and draw guns. Another time Romeo/Leonardo DiCaprio’s best friend Mercutio played by Harold Perrineau is dressed in drag for a party. Added on top some pop tunes and you have a hit. This might be my fav take on updating Shakespeare.

The classic rendition of this story of a hapless romantic

The opening of this 1950 production of Cyrano de Bergerac explains almost everything you need to know about the character. De Bergerac was a wordsworth, a comedian, one of France’s great swordsmen, and at heart a romantic. The story is about him being too scared to court his love Roxane (Mala Powers) because of his prestigious nose. The start was the best part where De Bergerac’s personality is laid out. The middle was the romance. The ending dragged a bit. Still this is a classic rendition of the story and still stands up.

A cultural event with inspiring messages while containing a great conflict to drive the story

When Black Panther came out I told everyone it was going to be a cultural event and it was. The film was not only a fantastic Marvel superhero story, but it meant so much to people who appreciated it.<br /><br />The movie gets off to a great start with a scene in Oakland, California. That was a nod to director Ryan Coogler’s hometown. Not only that but in the background local rap star Too Short is playing.<br /><br />The story focuses upon the conflict between Prince T’Challa the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan). T’Challa has just taken over the throne of Wakanda after his father was killed in the Captain America Civil War movie. He was the rich privileged son who was still learning how to rule. Killmonger on the other hand had his father Prince N’Jobu (Sterling K. Brown) killed by T’Challa’s father for betraying his country. He grew up poor in Oakland and then joined the U.S. military to learn how to become a warrior so that one day he could return to Wakanda and take what he felt was his. Killmonger wanted to use the wealth and power of his country to free black people around the world in an international revolution and create a Wakandan empire. You could say he was an anti-hero as he wanted to fight for the oppressed. To have an effective movie like this you need a good villain and Killmonger provided that in spades. He was even more interesting than T’Challa for much of the movie.<br /><br />Winston Duke as M’Baku the head of the Jabari tribe also stands out as a character. He stole almost every scene he was in and had one of the great lines when he threatened to serve CIA agent Everett K Ross (Martin Freeman) to his kids and then laughs and says they are vegetarian.<br /><br />The importance of the film is on display throughout. First, Wakanda is the most technologically advanced country in the world based upon its vibranium, a rare metal that has special powers. The West has always portrayed Africa as a backwards, impoverished continent full of conflict. These stereotypes started during the colonial period and exists to the present. The Black Panther reversed all of those images with its portrayal of Wakanda, its people and its civilization. This is one reason why the movie was such an event, because it presented such an inspiring image of an African nation.<br /><br />The Black Panther also championed African culture. The costumes were amazingly designed and often used real African designs such as the blankets many of the characters wore which come from Lesotho a nation in southern Africa. None of the Wakandan women had straightened hair either. Straight hair is considered “good hair” in black culture because of centuries of cultural imperialism that have told them being white is beautiful. Thus they use all kinds of hair products to straighten it like Europeans have. The only time there’s straightened hair is when the head of T’Challa’s pretorian guard Okoye (Danai Gurira) is wearing a wig. She ends up throwing it off because she looks so ridiculous in it. Last, the Wakandan language was a real African dialect from South Africa. Again, these all instilled pride in people.<br /><br />Last, the movie had a series of strong female characters. Besides Okoye there was Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) T’Challa’s sister who at only 16 was the head of the country’s technological development. Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) was a Wakandan spy and T’Challa’s love interest. Last Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) was T’Challa’s mother. To have so many leading women especially in a superhero action movie was a rarity.<br /><br />All together this is what made The Black Panther so special. The conflict between T’Challa and Killmonger worked out differently than your usual good vs bad dichotomy because Killmonger actually thought what he was doing was right. You had the overturning of centuries of stereotypes with a celebration of Africa, and you had a great supporting cast. It’s the reason why I have watched Black Panther over and over again both in the theater and at home since it came out. It’s still as good as the day I saw it on opening night.<br />C

They were on a mission from God to bring RnB to the people

They were on a mission from God to bring the public rhythm and blues. The Blues Brothers emerged from a skit that John Belushi as Jake and Dan Aykroyd as Elwood used to perform on Saturday Night Live. It’s one of the few examples of an SNL act being transformed into a successful film. The movie has Jake and Elwood trying to put their old Soul band back together to give a concert to save the orphanage they grew up in. In the process the Blues Brothers run into a number of music greats such as James Brown, John Lee Hooker, Ray Chares, Aretha Franklin and Cab Calloway. The band also includes Steve Cropper and Donald Duck Dunn who were in Booker T. & the MGs, the horns were from Blood, Sweat & Tears, and the drummer was in the Bar-Kays. The musical comedy was directed by John Landis. You can just look at that combination on paper and tell that this was going to be a winner.<br /><br />What’s so great about the movie is the mix of comedy routines and the music. At one moment you have Jake and Elwood being slapped around by the nun that raised them and then they go to a church to see James Brown sing a gospel tune. You have the band playing at a cowboy bar whipping out the theme to Rawhide to win over the crowd and then they get into a high speed chase involving the cops, the bar owner and the country band they took the gig from. Some performances like Aretha singing in a dinner and Ray Charles singing in a music store while people dance outside are just iconic. It all makes for a great movie.<br />C

Cult of child killers leads to the superntural but doesn't quite work

Children of the Corn was based upon a Stephen King story. A child preacher organizes the kids of a town in Nebraska to kill all the adults and form a religious community under his leadership. The only two who didn’t join were Job and Sarah. A few years later a couple made up of Burt and Vicky stumble upon the kids. The two groups of characters provide an inside and outside look at the cult Isaac has created.<br /><br />Being Stephen King this couldn’t be a straight-forward story. It turns out there is something in the corn. That’s where the plot transforms from a group of child killers to something akin to the supernatural.<br /><br />I’m not sure the two parts of the film really worked. If they’d just stuck to the kids it would have been good. The ending however really ruins things because it just isn’t believable nor well done. The special effects weren’t up to the task.

Was expecting more from del Toro and Silverstone but they turned out to be predictable

Excess Baggage is an odd couple story that begins with Benicio del Toro accidently stealing a car with Alicia Silverstone in the trunk. I have always been a big del Toro fan which is what drew me to the movie. It had some other excellent actors like Christopher Walken as well. He gets to play a tough guy and does an excellent job. I have to say I was a bit disappointed with del Toro and Silverstone. I thought there would be more to them but it turned out to be very predictable. First del Toro is the hapless crook and Silverstone out smarts him. Then they bond and you can guess the rest.

Toy Dolls live up to their image

It was fun to watch this Toy Dolls’ concert. They are a famous Pop-Punk band from England and their show represented their carefree attitude. The music was fast and lively and they didn’t take themselves seriously all the time.

Funny from the opening scene

Norbit is funny from the opening scene. Eddie Murphy plays an orphan who is dropped off at a Chinese restaurant that raises him. He plays his own dad Mr. Wong who at one point takes a duck Norbit is playing with, kills it to cook it for dinner and then throws the head telling him to play with that. The story is about Norbit looking for true love.<br /><br />The movie is a mix of physical comedy with Norbit being thrown all around by his wife Rasputia, also played by Murphy, and funny situations. The cast is strong as well with Thandiew Newton as Murphy’s old flame, Cuba Gooding Jr her fiancé, Terry Crews, Clifton Powell and Lester Speight as Rasputia’s brothers who run a protection ring and construction company, Marlon Wayans as a dance instructor, and Eddie Griffin and Katt Williams as two ex-pimps. It’s really one of Murphy’s better films from his later releases.

Changed a famous Japanese story and made it a dud

Hollywood never met a story it didn’t think it could do better. 47 Ronin is one of the most famous stories in Japanese history about a group of samurai who seek revenge for their lord who they thought was wrongfully forced to commit suicide. It’s a story of honor, sacrifice and payback. That gets turned into this mess which plays out more like a fantasy story with monsters, witches and magic. If you were going to change the plot that much you better wow the audience. Instead it was kind of a dud. It’s one of those movies you watch if it popped up on TV if there wasn’t something better on.

Very mixed version of the Robin Hood legend mostly due to Kevin Costner's bad acting

Initially I have nothing but bad things to say about this film. First, Kevin Costner is the lead. He doesn’t even try at an English accent and his acting is boring on top of that. Then they have him do stupid things like getting confused when he uses a telescope for the first time. Third, Morgan Freeman is completely misused in the story. Next, they’ve added a witch who works for the Sheriff of Nottingham played by Alan Rickman. Thank god he’s parts of the cast because he does a good job as a bad guy the only real plus of this film. The movie does eventually improve but that’s despite Costner who can still screw up a scene. Basically this is a very mixed bag and there are better versions of the Robin Hood tale.
