Team becomes super agents while trying to restore their "family"

Fast & Furious 6 took off from where Fast 5 ended transforming the group into secret agent superheroes. Gone were the days of racing cars and running from the police. Now they were taking on international criminals led by Luke Evans and working with Dwayne Johnson to add more testosterone to the cast. They even comment upon their transformation in one scene where Tyrese Gibson says this was completely different from what they’d done before. Otherwise the movie is rather formulaic adding the bigger is better motto that started with the last few films in the series. There are plenty of cars, chases, gun play, etc. They throw in some jokes as well to keep a light mood. There’s even a tank and plenty of computer enhanced action. On top of all that it has a theme of restoring “the family” led by Vin Diesel.

Great 70s horror with mood and tension

I remember watching this film when I was a kid on the late night Creature Features TV show and being freaked out because of a scene where a man gets possessed and blood starts coming out of his eyes.<br /><br />The movie has a cast of horror legends Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing plus Telly Savalas. Lee is bringing back an ancient frozen corpse which turns out to still be alive.<br /><br />The mood is set immediately with the mystery over Lee’s corpse. The film also takes place on a train which adds more tension as all the passengers are trapped with the monster. There’s a priest on board as well played by Alberto de Mendoza who is like a Rasputin figure. It all makes for a great mix and you couldn’t ask more from a 70s horror movie.

A fitting sequel with a great mix of action comedy and characters

Red 2 was a worthy sequel. It brought together all the major players from the first film including Bruce Willis as Frank Moses, John Malkovich as Marvin, Mary-Louise Parker as Sarah, and Helen Mirren as Victoria. Frank and Marvin are wanted again for something called Operation Nightshade, a secret plan to smuggle a nuclear weapon into Moscow during the Cold War. A secret U.S. organization wants this information and hires Jack Horton played by Neal McDonough and Han Cho Bai played by Lee Byung-Hun to find it. They chase Moses and friends across America, France, England and finally Russia. It turns out a crazed scientist named Bailey, played by Anthony Hopkins, was the brains behind the bomb and know where it is.<br /><br />Like the first Red movie there is a good mix of action, comedy and characters. It doesn’t take itself too seriously either and is always happy with throwing in some comedic moments. The characters are all a little quirky as well which makes them fun to watch especially when Frank and Marvin get talking.<br /><br />There’s a twist at the end as well to keep the viewer on their toes.<br />C

The cost of progress

Sony continues to add titles to the Marvel universe with the vampire character Morbius. I thought they did a good job setting up Morbius as a conflicted character. He was a sickly person throughout his life and then had the chance to be superhuman but at a huge toll which pulled at his soul. That set up the theme which was the cost of progress.<br /><br />The film was shot with dark overtones to match the content. Even when the characters are outside during the day it looks like it’s overcast. The make-up and effects were well done. Most importantly Jared Leto was a believable and interesting vampire. Casting Matt Smith of Dr Who fame as the villain was perfect.<br /><br />They even threw in some Marvel Easter Eggs and jokes like when Morbius says “I am Venom” as well as the obligatory extra endings during the credits.<br /><br />It’s one of those movies you could see several times and still enjoy.

One of Spielberg's great action-adventure movies

War of the Worlds featuring Tom Cruise was one of Steven Spielberg’s best action-adventure movies. It had two major plots to it. First, is obviously the alien invasion that attempts to at first wipe out most people and then turn them into a means to transform the planet. Second, is the family dynamic as Cruise as Ray Ferrier tries to keep his daughter played by Dakota Fanning and son played by Justin Chatwin alive and intact during the crisis. That’s easier said than done.<br />Ray’s family is set up right at the beginning. He’s divorced from his wife and only sees them every so often. The son completely ignores him, while the daughter appears laissez faire. Their relationship with Ray is only intensified when the aliens show up. He finds out that when the whole planet is being threatened the last thing you need is a son that doesn’t listen and a daughter he doesn’t understand. The family is also attacked from the outside by other people. One of the most dramatic times being when their van is assaulted by a mob who want the vehicle. People smash the windows, pull the kids out through the windows, and then guns are pulled out. I will say that Chatwin over acts many of his parts especially later on in the movie, and gets annoying.<br />That’s all nice but the real reason you come to watch War of the Worlds is the aliens. The effects for the aliens and what they do are spectacular. First, they come out of the ground in giant battleships that then attack the humans. Their appearance is one of the highlights of the movie as they are completely menacing. Another memorable scene is when some of the aliens attack a huge group of refugees attempting to cross a river on a boat. Needless to say panic and chaos sets in. Finally, it turns out the aliens have a plan for the surviving humans and the Earth. It’s a great twist to the story.

Dragons look awesome and the action is great

The Earth has been taken over by dragons and there are only a few human outposts left. The first thing that made me think about this film was the cast. Christian Bale as the head of one camp of survivors? Ok. Gerard Butler is his second? Ok. Matthew McConaughey as a cocky American soldier???? I had a double take when I saw him but then when I thought about it he’s probably perfect for that kind of character. In the end he delivered.<br /><br />I had no expectations about this film at all and it rather surprised me. The dragons looks awesome and the action was top notch.

One of the all time great movies about UFOs and aliens

Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a game changing sci-fi flick when it came out in 1977. It was an attempt to create a more realistic interaction between humans and aliens than the usual Hollywood fare. There was no invasion from outer space for instance. Instead it was about aliens attempting to communicate with Earth.<br /><br />The movie centers around Richard Dreyfuss as Roy, Melinda Dillon as Jillian and her son Barry played by Cary Guffey who encounter UFOs. It has a lasting impact upon them. They all have a vision of a mountain. They start hearing notes. There’s an innocent exuberance about it all which is a trademark of many of Spielberger’s films. He also creates real suspense when the aliens show up such as when they visit Jillian and Barry’s house. Screws on a floor vent start coming up. Her home appliances take on a life of their own all while there are bright lights outside from the UFOs. It also has lighter moments such as when Roy becomes obsessed with building the mountain he has visions of. He tears up all the bushes around his house. Takes chicken wire from a neighbor. Takes off with a garbage can. He uses all that to build a giant diorama of the mountain that takes up his entire living room. Finally, there’s a sense of wonder with the UFOs and how they appear. All together these are what made Close Encounters such a phenomenon.<br />C

Part of the Yakuza Papers/Batles Without Honor & Humanity series THE greatest Yakuza tale

Yakuza (gangster) films were one of the most popular genres in Japan after World War II, and Kinji Fukasaku was one of the biggest purveyors. Probably his greatest success was the Yakuza Papers series, five films that were based upon the diary of an actual gangster. It covered the Yazuka families in Hiroshima after the war.<br /><br />This is Volume 3: Proxy War. It begins in September 1960 when a leader in the Muraoka gang, Fumio Sughiara was gunned down in broad daylight. That sets off a struggle for power between the major gangs and their affiliates. The movies focuses upon Shozo Hirono (Bunta Sugawara), a mid-level gangster that runs a scrap metal yard, but knows all the big players in the gangs. He tries to maneuver between the bosses to ensure his future success. Along the way a series of power struggles and gang wars occur with plenty of blood being spilled in the process.<br /><br />Yakuza Papers has everything you would want from a gangster flick. There’s intrigue, plotting, back stabbing, wars, and plenty of violence as well. There is also constant commentary to keep the viewer up with all the different bosses and factions because there are a lot of them. It gives the movie an almost documentary feel to it. There’s also plenty of action, which keeps the pace up.<br /><br />There were tons and tons of Yakuza films released in Japan, but the entire Yakuza Papers series, including Proxy Wars, was one of the greatest examples of this genre.

But the opposing factions seek support from powerful families in Kobe, making all out war inevitable..

Good remake of the classic Zatoichi

Zatoichi was one of the classic period piece franchises in 1960s-70s Japanese cinema with over 20 releases and a TV series. Since so many older films were being re-made in the 2000s it was only natural that someone would do Zatoichi. That resulted in The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi by director Takeshi Kitano featuring himself in the classic role.<br /><br />Every original Zatoichi film had some basic elements. First, there were some Yakuza (gangsters), because that was the crowd Zatoichi ran with. Next there were the gambling dens that the gangs ran, which Zatoichi would always frequent. Third, common people were always featured instead of the samurai and upper class that most Japanese films focused upon. There was always a woman that had fallen on hard times that Zatoichi tried to redeem. Finally, there was swordplay with Zatoichi killing numerous Yakuza and usually a ronin (a masterless samurai).<br /><br />The 2003 version used all of those elements. In the opening scene for example, some Yakuza come upon Zatoichi (Takeshi Kitano) and tell a little boy to steal his sword. They taunt him, but then he gets his sword back and slays a few of them. There’s also the gambling, but this time with a little twist from the originals. Usually, Zatoichi uses this superior hearing to win, and then catches the Yakuza trying to cheat. This time he ends up slicing up the place. Zatoichi comes across a poor farmer woman, O-ume (Michiyo Okusu) who is being exploited by a gang, which he tries to help. Later he meets two sisters O-sei (Daigoro Tachibana) and O-kinu (Yuko Daike), one of which is actually a transvestite. They are travelling performers who are seeking out revenge upon the gang that killed their family. Zatoichi helps them seek payback. Last, there is the ronin Hattori (Tadanobu Asano) who was disgraced in his clan and becomes a bodyguard for the local Yakuza. There is of course a big swordfight between them at the end.<br /><br />Director Kitano also had some really beautiful shots such as farmers plowing away on their field with the sounds of their tools making the beat of the background music.<br /><br />While I enjoyed the remake I thought the one major flaw was that Takeshi Kitano didn’t bring more character to Zatoichi. The original actor Shintaro Katsu had a real way with Zatoichi in how he looked and how he interacted with people. He was always happy and playful until a conflict emerged. Takeshi Kitano is more quiet and reserved. Still, this was a fine adaptation and a good story.

2 dancers that have dreams of something better

This documentary is about a Hip Hop style of dance called Flex. The movie focuses upon Flizzo and Jay from Brooklyn. It shows how they weren’t just about battling some guys in competitions but wanted to turn their talents into bigger and better things. Jay for instance got to star in a production of Pinocchio and travel. Flizzo on the other hand had some real struggles. I gotta say I wasn’t impressed by his style and then when he was in a competition they chopped up his set so you couldn’t even really see his big ending. They finish with a nice montage between the two performing. There’s plenty of dance scenes to see other people’s different techniques as well.

Amazing example of storytelling and special affects that still inspires movies today

King Kong is an amazing example of storytelling and special effects. It created a whole genre of monster movies that is still seen today. The basic plot is a take off of beauty and the beast with Kong falling for Fay Wray. More importantly it’s about adventures who discover an island full of not only Kong but dinosaurs as well. The stop motion effects used to animate them would go onto inspire generations of movie makers up to the present with the new King Kong and Godzilla movies. Just looking at what they were able to pull off with things like Kong fighting a T-Rex is pretty impressive. Kong is also great eating people and picking a woman out of her apartment and then dropping her to her death. It’s all topped off by Robert Armstrong giving the closing line it was beauty that killed the beast. What a classic.

Clowns the future in this sci-fi-action-comedy

It’s 2032 and master criminal Wesley Snipes has escaped after being frozen for thirty years by the authorities. They unfreeze former police officer Sylvester Stallone to track down his old nemesis.<br /><br />The future provides a lot of laughs as all the people talk and act so cheesy. Spicey food for example is outlawed. Snipes is perfect to play with them. I wasn’t sure Stallone would be so good but he handles the jokes well. He curses a lot on purpose one time after he finds out people get fined each time they do so and another time he knits a sweater for Sandra Bullock.<br /><br />After the comedy there’s some social commentary as well as the 2032 society is just as unequal as the present with the elites manipulating the system and a poor underclass that is invisible to the general public because it literally lives underground.<br /><br />Eventually there gets to be the big confrontation between Snipes and Stallone that provides the action.<br /><br />Overall it’s a good combination. You could even see Demolition Man as a spoof or satire of sci-fi films because of how much it clowns the future.

Introduced hip hop to the world

Beat Street will go down in history as the third Hip Hop film, and the one that broke into the mainstream. It introduced B-Boys, breakdancing, DJing and rapping to the world. It gives a real glimpse into what it was like in the Bronx in the late-1970s/early-1980s when this lifestyle first started.<br /><br />The opening scene is of a house party. Now that building is way too clean to be a vacant, but it captured how kids were able to make do with living in poverty in the Bronx and find places where they could party and have fun. That’s where they take a look at some of the latest graffiti pieces while walking to the building. Then they boost some electricity from a power pole, and start the party with some DJing, rapping, and break dancing.<br /><br />It also had the Bronx kids going downtown to Manhattan to the clubs which happened in real life. There they had one of the all-time classic dance battles between the New York City Breakers (in red) and the Rock Steady Crew (in blue) the two best known dance crews in the world. By the way, The NYC Breakers wiped the floor with the Rock Steady Crew.<br /><br />Added bonus there’s a party with the Treacherous Three performing which included Kool Moe Dee. Doug E. Fresh makes a special appearance as well. The promoter of the party was Kool Herc one of the first major DJs.<br /><br />The only problem with the movie is when Kenny (Guy Davis) the DJ goes on a date with Tracy (Rae Dawn Chong) a downtown college girl. They play some of the worst music ever as the background music.<br />C

Impressive for its time dealing with nuclear holocaust

For a movie made in 1962 this was pretty good for the subject matter which was the nuclear apocalypse. A family has to deal with the aftermath of nuclear war in southern California. They run into all the predictable problems like looting and some others you wouldn’t expect from this time period. The dad Ray Milland is the most impressive of the cast warning his family that normal society and ideas of law and order were all gone after the nuclear war started. It was pretty impressive.

Jack Nicholson writes about the psychedelic 60s

The Trip is a venture into the Hippie culture of Los Angeles. It features Peter Fonda going on his first LSD trip with Bruce Dern. The film was directed by Roger Corman and written by Jack Nicholson. The film uses psychedelic imagery along with dream sequences to convey Fonda’s experience like him climbing a hill to meet a girl he met or being chased by hooded men on horseback. Of course they include how things can go bad. If you want one interpretation of the 60s/70s youth culture in the U.S. than this one of the better ones.

A deep dive into an artist explaining not only his motivaitons but his dysfunctional life

I remember growing up as a kid in Berkeley which was a mecca of the underground comic scene in the 1970s and someone had a Robert Crumb comic. It was such a risqué thing back then because it had stories about sex. As a pre-teen this was like finding the yellow brick road. This documentary helps explain why Crumb wrote about sex and other topics. He grew up a total loner nerd and as he says he got his revenge because he became famous when he became an adult. I think his repressed upbringing shaped his entire art especially with women. He also had a dysfunctional family which was another big influence that led to his alienation and rejection of stereotypical middle class American life which he often satirized. A lot of the movie is Crumb talking to his two brothers who are mentally ill. The film is also not just a love story of Crumb. There are people who accuse him of being a misogynist and racist for instance. It’s definitely a deep dive into an artist that you don’t usually see.

Independent intelligent women that used their sexuality worked on TV & the movie

When younger people started taking over the movie industry one thing they relied upon was nostalgia. That resulted in movie after movie based upon TV shows they watched as kids. That’s the genesis of the Charlie’s Angels remake featuring Drew Barrymore as Dylan Sanders, Cameron Diaz as Natalie Cook, and Lucy Liu as Alex Munday.<br /><br />Independent, confident women who knew how to use their sexuality was the basis of the original Charlie’s Angels and was maintained in the movie. Munday for instance wasn’t sure she could keep her boyfriend because she might be too intelligent for him. Later she’s undercover at a party and a man approaches her but can only get in 2-3 words before she tells him no over and over again.<br /><br />Given the large influx of cash with a major movie they were able to do a lot more than the TV show in terms of action, explosions, and special effects.<br /><br />The combination all worked in a very entertaining film.<br />C

War bloodshed adventure intrigue culture and politics

Vikings is just an amazing show full of war, bloodshed, adventure, intrigue, culture and politics. If focuses upon Travis Fimmel as Ragnar a farmer who wants to travel west to loot. The themes are adventure and their costs.<br /><br />As soon as the show starts it draws you in. Fimmel is just the tip of an ensemble cast. He’s willing to risk everything for fame and fortune. His wife Katheryn Winnick is a mother and a fighter and even proves to be politician. There’s George Blagden as a captured Christian priest who represents the new world the Vikings find. There are Viking raids. English kingdoms. Norse gods. It’s just an amazing tale and far more than your usual TV show. I can’t recommend it enough.

It makes the unbelievable seem possible

This movie is based upon a book by Chuck Barris who was a well-known game show creator and host in the 1960s-70s. I remember him for the Gong Show that I used to watch as a kid. He also made the Dating Game and the Newlywed Game. In his book he claimed he was an assassin for the CIA. The movie is a biography of his life including those shows plus his alleged role killing for the Agency. It features Sam Rockwell as Barris and was directed by George Clooney who also plays a CIA agent that recruits him.<br /><br />The plot is crazy because one moment Barris is freaking out about one of his game shows and the next he’s being sent to Finland to carry out a hit for the Agency. That’s the whole point of the movie to make the ridiculous seem possible. Rockwell plays Barris as a kind of mad genius who is also neurotic. That meant he could never be happy. It doesn’t seem like this concept would work but it really does. Clooney did a great job putting it together and Rockwell executed the role well.

A critique of samurais and feudal Japan

Goyokin was a film by Hideo Gosha who was one of the famed producers of samurai films in Japan. It features three familiar stars of their time most notably Tatsuya Nakadai as Magobei Wakizaka. Nakadai was known for playing heavies in most of his films, and this is no exception. Joining him is Tetsuro Tamba as Rokugo Tatewaki a friend of Magobei’s. Besides being in dozens of Japanese releases he’s known internationally for being in James Bond’s You Only Live Twice. Kinnosuke Nakamura plays the third main character Samon Fujimaki who is also an acquaintance of Magobei..<br /><br />Goyokin begins with what seems like four separate stories that eventually converge at the end.<br /><br />Nakadai gives his usual steady performance. He just has this look about his face that you have to see to understand. It’s like he’s a tortured soul, but also a cold blooded killer. As the story unfolds it brings back one bad memory after another for him from the dead villagers, to a survivor to his old flame.<br /><br />There’s also plenty of swordplay as well with Magobie and Samon cutting down a number of people.<br /><br />More importantly the film varies from traditional Japanese dealings with the samurai. This movie emphasizes the corruption of the lords that ruled Japan. Retainer Rokugo for example talks about how they had to bloody their hands in order to maintain their fief, and this was part of the system of feudal Japan. Magobei rejects that argument saying he was sick of the samurai lifestyle. This was an important indictment of what Japanese society had always glorified.<br /><br />Outside of Japan Gosha is not as well known, but he made some great movies as this is one of them.<br />C

Missed opportunity to play with character who is a slacker & a killer

American Ultra is an action movie starring Jesse Eisenberg as Mike and Kristen Stewart as his girlfriend Phoebe. Mike doesn’t seem like he can do anything. He gets panic attacks when he tries to leave town. He’s self-deprecating and self-medicating. Unbeknownst to even himself he’s actually a trained CIA killer and his slacker lifestyle was simply to cover up his past. The Agency decides he’s a loose end and needs to be eliminated which leads to the action. The writers really could have done a better job with this plot however.<br /><br />The story is uneven. At first they play it up as a stoner-slacker movie and then it explodes into a full blown action flick. This was a lost opportunity because they could have done a lot more with Mike’s split personality. They did try to play in some jokes but they weren’t really funny. That made it a bit disappointing.<br />C

Highly innovative and creative

Run Lola Run is an amazingly creative and innovative film. It’s about Franka Potente trying to save her screwed up boyfriend Moritz Bleibtreu. It plays out the same sequence of events in many different ways. It also shows the future of some of the people Potente randomly runs into through snapshots. It goes into everything that she’s willing to do for him but also asks whether it’s all worth it. It’s a one of a kind experience.

Got so bad I could barely watch it

The Way Of The Gun was a total dud. Two criminals Ryan Phillippe as Parker and Benicio del Toro as Longbaugh overhear that a millionaire is having a surrogate mother have a baby for him and decide to kidnap her for ransom. The problem is the movie goes nowhere quick. For instance, after they snatch the woman carrying the baby Robin played by Juliette Lewis the film has some ridiculous action sequences as Parker and Longbaugh attempt to ditch Robin’s bodyguards. Parker and Longbaugh drive their vehicle down an alley and go very slow and jump in and out of it and then start shooting then jump back in their car and go slow again and jump in and out of it, etc. It’s one of the worst action scenes I’ve ever seen. After that the movie gets so bad I completely lost interest.

Native American gets revenge on the evil whit man It's actually Burt Reynolds but ...

I never knew Burt Reynolds made Spaghetti Westerns until I saw this. He plays a Native American seeking revenge upon a group of outlaws who go bounty hunting for Indian scalps. That makes it a very rare film where an American Indian character is the hero, but then again it’s played by a white guy. Most of the movie is the gang doing bad things to people and Reynolds hunting them down one by one. The soundtrack really stood out as well. I know at least two of the tracks were used in another Spaghetti Western before and then Quentin Tarantino used it in one of his films too. Overall, this is a unique story and good action.

The best Yazuka series ever

Gangster (Yazuka) flicks were one of the most popular genres in Japan after World War II. Director Kinji Fukasaku provided one of the great Yakuza pictures of all in his five part Blood Without Honor And Humanity series, also known as the Yazuka Papers. It was based upon the diary of a Yakuza boss and followed Hirono Shozo (Bunta Sugawara) a midlevel Yakuza boss who was involved in all of the struggles for power between the major gangs in Hiroshima province.<br /><br />Volume 4 is set in the early 1960s. Boss Yamamori had just been able to take over Hiroshima City and aligned with the Shinwa Group but was opposed by Boss Uchimoto who was with the Akashi Family. The Shinwa Group and the Akashi Family were the two largest syndicates in western Japan. Hirano was expelled from the Yamamori group and joined with Uchimoto. As with the other volumes, this one involves all of the gang wars, alliances, and backstabbing that characterized the Yakuza. The film is given an almost documentary feel to it with constant voice overs narrating events and giving background to the different players involved because there were so many. The DVD also comes with a timeline that covers the major characters and gangs throughout the entire series as well. The title Police Tactics comes from a nationwide crackdown launched by the government in 1963 against the gangs.<br /><br />Fukasaku was a master at his trade. The series is full of drama and action.

Early example of Jacky Chan mixing comedy and Kung Fu

Fearless Hyena was one of Jacky Chan’s early successes with mixing comedy and Kung Fu. Some of his initial attempts didn’t really balance out those two genres.

Story is scattered at first before it settles down into becoming a mystery

Man on a mission to save New York

Taxi Driver is one of Martin Scorsese’s classic films. The movie is about the moral decay of 1970s New York. The main character Travis/Robert De Niro just got out of the Marines and returns home and is sick of what he finds. He looks at most people he picks up with a level of contempt. He comes to believe that he the working man is the savior that New York needs and that becoming a vigilante will right some of the wrongs he sees in the city. The movie poses the question of whether his actions were correct or not.<br /><br />Travis does a voiceover narration of his daily journal entries that gives a glimpse into his psyche. He talks about all the animals he sees on the streets at night in New York. He hopes that someday a flood will occur and wipe the scum away. This explains his moral outrage and his black and white view of the world.<br /><br />Scorsese and De Niro made Travis the quintessential man apart. He lives alone in an apartment. In his time off he goes to see porn movies. He has insomnia. He feels like he has nowhere to go. There’s an angst about him which leads to his actions later in the film.<br /><br />There’s some iconic scenes like when Travis gives himself a mohawk, builds himself a sliding gun brace for his arm and starts talking to the mirror asking, “You talking to me?” in his imagined future confrontation with the scum he wants to eliminate. He believes that by saving one of these women he can make a difference. It’s another insight into the mind of Travis and will ultimately lead to the ending which questions his actions.<br /><br />To this day this is an outstanding piece of art created by Scorsese.

Stacy Peralta's ode to his old skate crew

Dogtown and Z-Boys is a documentary about the birth of modern skateboarding in southern California in the 1970s. Dogtown was the name of a series of articles in Skateboarder magazine about the 12-person Zephyr team from west Los Angeles. The movie was made by Stacy Peralta who was part of the team.<br /><br />Things starts with Zephyr surf boards store run by Jeff Ho which would become the headquarters of the Zephyr skate team. Then it goes in all kinds of directions from the influence of surfing to skating people’s swimming pools to the commercialization of the sport. Most importantly the film captures the innovation and rebellion of the Zephyr team. There are plenty of talking heads but the real joy is from all the archival footage and photographs of the team, their tricks, their competitions and the fun they had.

A movie about family and finding onself

I was initially worried about Creed II because director Ryan Coogler was not working on it. Instead another young black director was going to be in charge of this film, Steven Caple Jr. After some initial trepidation it turned out to be another great movie.<br /><br />Creed II is really about family and finding one’s self with boxing simply being a foil to explore those two issues.<br /><br />The family theme impacts all of the main characters. For example, Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Creed and his girlfriend Tessa Thompson as Bianca are worried that their newborn child might have the same hearing problems as Thompson. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone as Rocky are also estranged as the latter did not support Jordan’s fighting Florian Munteanu as Viktor Drago. Jordan is very angry as a result and the two who play surrogate father and son need to repair their relationship to move forward. Speaking of that Munteanu also has difficulties as he feels immense pressure to follow in his father’s, Dolph Lundgren as Ivan Drago, footsteps as a boxer and defeat the Creed family. The two also have a dinner where the wife/mother Brigitte Nielsen, Ludmilla Drago, is present. Munteanu walks out in disgust because he knows that she is only there because he has become a successful fighter when before she shunned the father and son.<br /><br />Jordan also has to find himself in order to be successful in the ring. He only won his first fight on a decision and came out badly wounded, and has psychological scars that stop him from continuing with his training. It’s only when he fixes his problems at home with his girlfriend and Rocky that he’s able to be at peace and can become the fighter that he wants to be.<br /><br />In terms of the fighting there were some initial worries as well. The first fight pits Jordan against real life Oakland fighter Andre Ward as Danny Stuntman Wheeler. The choreography was lackluster and there’s was no real excitement in the match. I had a bad feeling this was how the rest of the movie was going to be with new director Caple at the helm, but that didn’t prove to be true. The following fights, especially the one at the climax are full of drama.<br /><br />Overall, Creed II is a fitting sequel to the first film.<br />C

Wasn't impressed

House of Wax was a classic Vincent Price horror story. This was the remake which was a complete reimaging of the story. I wasn’t impressed at first because of Paris Hilton being in the cast. She can barely act. It gets worse when she shows off her body. The problem is she doesn’t have one. Of course people don’t watch horror films for the acting.<br /><br />The story is about a bunch of teenagers going on a camping trip where thy meet a bunch of creepy poor whites who run the House of Wax. It’s obviously inspired by the Texas Chainsaw Massacre with a giant mute brute doing most of the killing in his lair.<br /><br />I have to say the movie never did pay off. There wasn’t enough done with the wax and nothing was scary. They also threw in some cheap gotcha moments.

Completely racist take on Sudanese war & too much melodrama with Jane Seymour

Four Feathers was a 1902 book which was made into several movies. This the 1978 version which was the sixth. It features Beau Bridges as the main character Harry. He resigns despite a call by his army regiment to mobilize so that he can marry Jane Seymour. Instead he gets four feathers from her and his three regimental friends as a sign of cowardice. To make matters worse Seymour decides to be with one of Bridges’ friends before he ships out for war. The story is about how Bridges can restore his honor.<br /><br />The first problem with the movie is that they have a white actor doing blackface to pose as an Arab. Second the movie is about the Sudan War so they have white guys playing the Sudanese and give some of them ridiculous giant afro wigs along with painting their bodies black. It’s like the guys walked out of a Disco club and into the desert to fight the British in the 1800s. On top of that the ones with afros carry spears instead of guns like the other Sudanese fighters. The implication being that Africans can’t use guns because they’re primitive. It was 1978 and there was no excuse for this racist move of not hiring a single black actor. Last there’s too much melodrama with Seymour for my tastes.<br /><br />The one part of the movie I did like was Bridges with his father at the end otherwise this was not to my liking.

Can see parallels & differences with America's experience & question what the movement achieved

Black Power is an interesting documentary about the fight against racism in England. It has parallels and major differences from the experience in the U.S. The main divergence was that the film deals with Asians, African and West Indians many of which were immigrants. The country also skipped the civil rights era of America and went straight for black power and revolution like Malcolm X and the Black Panthers talked about. The similarities are many. Like in America whites blamed this new wave of arrivals for taking their job. They came to England and faced institutional racism in schools and by the police, and racist politicians. They were persecuted by the government. Americans had Soul and Funk to go along with their movement, the English had Reggae.<br /><br />I think the most interesting thing about the documentary is that like the American Black Power movement it can’t point to major, concrete changes that it made. Black people became proud of themselves and their culture. People stood up to the police and protested. But as the documentary admits at the end the biggest problems like the lack of adequate housing, the police, etc were never resolved and many of them continue to this day. The Civil Rights Movement in America by contrast ended legal segregation in America. The Black Power movement in both countries led to personal liberation but did it liberate the community?

David Caruso can't stop digging himself deeper into a hole

Kiss of Death is about the struggle of small time crook David Caruso. He always seems to be stuck in the wrong situation and suffers the consequences. That’s the draw of the film to see how far down in a hole Caruso can dig himself. His major nemesis are prosecutor Stanley Tucci who constantly pressures him to rat on people and Nicolas Cage who is the local mob boss who is a psychotic. This is a perfect role for Cage because you get the “Crazy Cage” he is so good at. He beats a man to death and then humiliate a man for grabbing a girl at a strip club he owns.

Hitsville starts off seeming like it will be a traditional historical documentary on Motown Records. It starts off with Berry Gordy’s background and how he got into the music business. Then it turns to themes like the songwriters at the company and some of the hits they produced. Then it goes into the artist and representation department, the house band the Funk Brothers, and more. Of course it’s not the talking heads which are going to make you watch this movie. It’s the music and it’s got all the Motown hits.<br /><br />The whole doc is nothing but praise. That means when it covers Gordy’s obsession with winning over old white people by having his acts do easy listening covers it’s portrayed as a big success for him when it’s the worst music Motown every released. Another big move was Gordy’s decision to relocate the company to Los Angeles in 1972 because he wanted to get into movies. Again, he’s praised for innovation but if you look at the hits there weren’t as many after the movie. Also a lot of the Detroit musicians didn’t make the move so they lost that talent as well.

Covers the exceptional talent business sense and contradictions of Sam Cooke

The documentary follows the usual pattern of talking heads mixed in with footage and songs by Sam Cooke. It goes in chronological order from his start in a Gospel group and then move towards Pop-Soul tunes. It also covers some of the things Cooke did differently like owning his own publishing rights which meant he made far more money than anyone else in his trade. One of the ironies of his career was that he yearned for white acceptance. He got the teens but he always wanted middle aged whites to like him. That was why he always wanted to be a hit at the Copa Cabana club in New York. To achieve that he had to do a set like Frank Sinatra. It was a sign that with all of his success he still wasn’t completely happy with just being himself likely because of growing up in America where black people are told they have to be like whites.

Nice to reconnect with one of my favs from Jr High School

Van Halen was one of my favorite bands in Junior High School. I remember drawing the band’s VH on everything I could so it was nice to be reconnected with them via this biographical video. I knew next to nothing about them after David Lee Roth left so I actually learned something. Namely that they were dysfunctional for a number of reasons.

Two characters destined for disaster

As soon as you see the two characters Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn play you know they’re going to end in disaster. Penn is a nasally, scheming drug dealer while Timothy Hutton is a former divinity student now working for the CIA. The film is based upon the true story of a man who worked at a CIA message center and used his friend to sell secrets to the Soviet Union. I would never have trusted Penn’s character with anything and yet Hutton relied upon him because they were best friends from childhood. The way the story was presented I also didn’t buy Hutton’s jump from being disillusioned with the U.S. from what he read on his job to going to the Soviets. Still, it was a good story about two people getting in way over their heads.

Neeson gets typecast again in an avg action flick

What do you know Liam Neeson gets put in an action movie and he’s not the protective father with special skills. No in the Marksman he’s like a father figure with special skills to a Mexican kid on the run from a drug cartel! It’s nice to know that they stuck to typecasting Neeson. The plot is pretty routine as well. Neeson and the kid are on the run. They get chased here and there with some gunplay thrown in by the ruthless gangsters. It’s not bad, but it’s nothing to write home about.

Same role Liam Neeson has played for 10+ yrs

I don’t know how Liam Neeson keeps on doing these films. This time he’s an FBI agent doing dark ops for the director Aidan Quinn which suddenly goes wrong. He has a daughter of course and lots of special skills using a gun. It’s basically the same role he’s played in for the last ten plus years.

Top notch heist film with a very sultry Jennifer Lopez

Out Of Sight started the collaboration between George Clooney and director Steven Soderbergh. The film featured Clooney as Jack Foley a prolific bank robber who pulled dozens pf jobs, but also got caught a fair amount of times. While in prison he is incarcerated with a millionaire Richard Ripley (Albert Brooks). He becomes a protector of Ripley, and then decides to rob him after he escapes. The problem is another convict Maurice (Don Cheadle) has the same idea. Into the mix steps Federal Marshall Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez). She’s assigned to track down Foley. The movie was based upon an Elmore Leonard novel, which gave it great source material.<br /><br />The film really set up a number of successful elements that Clooney and Soderbergh would later use in the Oceans trilogy. First, there is a great soundtrack of original instrumentals that really help set a mood. It sounds like a modern version of the best 70s detective TV show. Second, there’s a heist. Clooney thinks of himself as a mastermind criminal and plots a prison break and a robbery. Third, there’s the strained relationship. Foley and Sisco have a thing, but obviously they are good guy-bad guy and can’t quite close the deal. This starts when Foley escapes and kidnaps Sisco. They spend an intimate moment in a trunk together which starts things off. Finally, there’s a lot of sly humor and one liners.<br /><br />The story is great. The acting is top notch. Jennifer Lopez really lays on the tough but sexy role that she’s not pulled off in any other movie. Clooney is his usual leading man self. The ending is great as well with a twist.<br />C

Description is deceiving but fits movie becuase it is about lying and scheming

The description of this film is deceiving. At the same time it actually suits the story because it does involve lying. Side Effects is one of those thrillers that keeps on throwing twists at you. In the end it comes down to schemes and revenge but it’s by different people at different times. That’s what makes it interesting and worthwhile to watch. Jude Law and Rooney Mara as the leads along with Catherine Zeta-Jones are excellent in their roles. To say more would spoil things.

One of the better Bond copycat movies with sex appeal & 60s swag

James Bond led to a slew of copycats trying to capture its appeal and box office receipts. Deadlier Than The Male was one of the better ones. It features Elka Sommer and Sylva Koscina as two assassins attempting to manipulate companies by hook and by crook. Richard Johnson tries to stop them.<br /><br />The Bond influences are immediately seen in the movie. It starts off with Sommer and Koscina assassinating a man in an airplane and then the two are in bikinis. Johnson is not to be outdone as he’s a playboy. Here you have the sex appeal and the action sown together which were mainstays of the 007 movies. Besides that the movie has some good subterfuge, a conspiracy, an evil mastermind to keep it interesting plus plenty of 60s swag. That makes it far better than a lot of the other Bond inspired films.<br />C

Assassin gets framed and wants to know by who and why

Hitman was another movie based upon a video game. The writers were actually able to create a compelling story and lots of action for the film. The story features Timothy Olyphant as #47, the Hitman. He’s given an assignment to kill the President of Russia Mikhail Belicoff (Ulrich Thomsen) but it turns out to be a set up. He ends up being chased both by the Russian authorities and Interpol. Along the way he picks up Belikoff’s mistress Nika (Olga Kurylenko). The plot is about whether #47 survive.<br /><br />The action is all high quality. They have #47 jumping out of windows, gunning down an entire room of people and taking on the Russian special forces all by himself. They also play with his character. #47 was raised as a killer so he’s completely socially awkward. When he grabs Nika he’s actually intimidated by her as a result because of her sexuality. That brings some levity to the story.<br /><br />Overall this was a surprisingly good film.<br />C

Action comedy emotional moments etc All you could ask for in a movie

Big Hero 6 is a fun animated mystery-action movie by Disney. It features Hiro as a teen who loses his brother in a fire. In the aftermath he finds out that someone stole his invention called microbots. He transforms a medical robot his brother made called Baymax into a warriors (sort of) and gets his friends together to help him find out what happened.<br /><br />The movie has plenty of comedic moments. Baymax for example lets out some air to make it through a window and it sounds like he’s passing gas. Another time Baymax’s batteries run low and he acts like he’s drunk.<br /><br />Big Hero 6 also features plenty of highs with the action sequences and plenty of lows such as when Hiro is dealing with the death of his brother.<br /><br />Overall it is a top notch story. Very entertaining.<br />C

Investigation is more important than action and that's a good thing

This movie goes overboard with the special effects. Some of them are horribly done like when the main character and sidekick are riding horses. It looks like a video game and is very choppy on top of that. Luckily that didn’t define the film. It had a good mix of action scenes and detective work. I always enjoy a good police procedural. There was also backstabbing and betrayal thrown in. That showed the story was more important than the action and that was a good thing.

Supernatural element added to Michael Myers

Halloween II starts off right where the first movie left off. It seems like Michael Myers was dead, but he rises up and continues on his killing spree. Jamie Lee Curtis as a survivor and Donald Pleasance as Michael’s doctor both returned to their roles. The movie was written and produced by John Carpenter who did the original, but he wasn’t the director this time. Carpenter created the serial killer genre so it was interesting to see what he would do with the sequel.<br /><br />What Carpenter adds is linking Myers to Celtic myth to add some of the occult and explain his apparent supernatural ability to resist death. Of course that doesn’t mean there aren’t some typical horror movie tropes. For instance, the woman who gets naked is going to die. Curits gets in a car but it doesn’t start, etc. Still it was a good horror film overall.

When the Farrelly Brothers finally figured everything out

Something About Mary was a Farrelly Brothers romantic comedy featuring Mary (Cameron Diaz) and Ted (Ben Stiller). He fell in love with her in high school and then tried to find her when he became an adult. The problem is he hires a private detective Pat Healy (Matt Dillon) to find her and he falls in love with her as well creating a love triangle.<br /><br />The movie marks when the Farrelly Brothers started calming down and didn’t go for as much slap stick and craziness. There are some over the top moments however which they’re known for. One of the most famous from the movie was when Ted zips up his pants too quickly and gets his thing caught in it. Mary’s dad then shows it off to everyone that comes over from his wife, to a policeman to a fireman. Another time Pat drugs a dog of Mary’s friend and it almost dies on him. He uses some wires from a lamp to revive it, but not before it bursts into flames which he has to put out. Most of the movie is much more subdued and there's a lot of romance as well.<br /><br />It still stands out as one of the best films the brothers put out.<br />C

THE best Carpenter-Russell collaboration

John Carpenter had a string of hit movies with Kurt Russell. Some are far more famous such as The Thing or Escape from New York, but hands down, in my opinion their greatest collaboration was Big Trouble in Little China released in 1986.<br /><br />First, it was one of the first American movies to include Hong Kong style action production, and actually brought over one of their martial arts stars, Carter Wong, to be featured in this movie.<br /><br />Things start with Victor Wong being interviewed by a San Francisco attorney about what happened with Jack Burton, Russell’s character. Wong talks about the role of magic. He warns it always starts off with something very small and miniscule and then becomes much bigger. That’s foreshadowing what will happen in the story.<br /><br />Jack Burton, a truckdriver roles into San Francisco and wins a huge amount of money from his friend Dennis Dun playing Wang Chi. Dun says he’ll pay him back, but first he has to pick up his fiancé from the airport. There she’s kidnapped by a gang calling itself the Lords of Death who work for an infamous and mysterious businessman, David Lo Pan played by James Hong. Things turn towards the supernatural afterward. First, during a gang battle between the Lords of Death and a rival gang of good guys the Chang Sing the Three Storms appear representing the elements of thunder, rain and lighting. One of them is played by Hong King star Carter Wong. The Storms quickly dispatch the Chang Sing. Then David Lo Pan shows up and is untouched when he’s run over by Burton’s truck. It turns out Lo Pan wants Dun’s fiancé to end a thousands year curse. Russell and Dun have to save the woman and fight off Lo Pan with the help of Victor Wong who is a Chinatown magician.<br /><br />The movie is great from beginning to end.<br /><br />First, Russell lays down a series of great lines one after another. For example, “I’m a reasonable guy. But, I’ve just experienced some unreasonable things.” or “You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we’re not back by dawn…call the president.”<br /><br />Second, the action and especially the fighting is in Hong Kong Kung Fu style. That means lots of leaping and flying via wires.<br /><br />Third, the movie doesn’t take itself too seriously. Jack Burton is completely over the top. That’s to keep things light and funny. Basically the movie was not afraid to laugh at itself.<br /><br />All together this is why Big Trouble In Little China is worth your viewing time. It is the quintessential John Carpenter movie.

Run of the mill cops and robbers flick

The Big Combo was a 1955 Film Noir. It features Richard Conte as Mr. Brown the antagonist. He says that hate is what runs the world and he’s got plenty of it. Jean Wallace is Susan Lowell Mr. Brown’s girlfriend who is impetuous and suicidal. Cornel Wilde is police Lieutenant Leonard Diamond who is stuck between them. He loves Susan and is full of hate for Mr. Brown. The movie pits these two obsessed men against each other. Brown can only think of power and Diamond with busting Brown.<br /><br />The movie is not that good. It comes off as your typical run of the mill cops and robbers film. The Noir elements like the dialogue and lighting are not that great, and don’t really draw in the viewer. Would pass if looking for a Noir to watch. There are plenty of other movies which are much better.<br />C

Plenty of movies mythologize Hollywood This does the same for the porn industry

There are plenty of movies mythologizing Hollywood. Boogie Nights tried to do the same for the porn industry. It chronicled the high and low points of a porn producer Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds) and his stable of actors and crew in the 1970s-80s.<br /><br />The movie starts off by portraying Horner’s cast and crew as a bunch of troubled people. His star Maggic/Amber (Julianne Moore) lost custody of her child. His producer Bill (William H. Macy) has a wife that constantly cheats on him. His future star Eddie/Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) is alienated from his domineering mother and wants to make something of himself but is stuck outside of Los Angeles where he wants to be. Rollergirl (Heather Graham) dropped out of school. When they’re on the set and in front of the camera however they forgot about all their issues and feel like they’re somebody. It’s like they’d all found the California Dream.<br /><br />The story itself is a classic rise and fall. Jack, Dirk and Reed Rothchild (John C. Reilly) start making movies that have actual stories as the two leads play action heroes who kick some butt and then have lots of sex. They feel like they’re real movie stars. Then everything falls apart.<br /><br />Overall this is a great movie about movies. Yes, it’s about porn, but the same story could be played out for Hollywood studios. The characters are all endearing. That’s true down to the supporting cast such as Philip Seymour Hoffman who is gay and has a crush on Wahlberg or Don Cheadle who just wants to be happy with himself.<br />C

Much darker mood with the dangers Potter and company faced

The Prisoner of Azkaban is one of my favorite Harry Potter movies because of Gary Oldman and David Thewlis. Oldman plays a crazed inmate who escapades the infamous Azkaban prison while Thewlis was a teacher at Hogwarts with a secret curse. Like all the movies Potter and company are faced with a mystery, this time discovering the story of Oldman’s character. Along the way more of the background of Potter’s life and conflict with Voldemort is revealed. You also got several hints of who Hermione liked. I thought The Prisoner Of Azkaban had a much darker mood to it than the previous two movies and I embraced that. It gave the story much added depth. That also went along with Potter and his friends no longer being little kids. They were teens now and faced much greater dangers.

Tale of survival & punishment for 2 poor women in a swamp during warring years in Japan

Onibaba – Demon Woman focuses upon a pair of women that live in a swamp in feudal Japan. They strip the bodies of samurai who are killed in battle dumping their bodies into The Hole. That pit is given a prominent role right from the beginning as it is the opening of the film. The weapons and armor the women sell off for food. They have plenty of samurai to pick from as the country was going to hell with war. In times like those the meek like the women can pick upon the powerful. It’s also a lonely life of solitude in the swamp so when a man they know returns from war that causes dissension between the two women. To add to the drama a demon appears as well.<br /><br />The movie’s theme comes down to one of survival. Can the two women maintain their lives in the swamp living off killing samurai, and will the man split them apart? There’s also the demon which is there to punish the two for their transgressions.<br /><br />There is some amazing imagery as well revolving around a mask the women find. Overall, very nicely made movie. Kind of a hybrid drama-ghost story.<br />C

Japanese pulp fiction with cynical hero women the corrupt and sword fights left and right

The Sleepy Eyes of Death was a long running 1960s samurai series. It was the equivalent of American pulp fiction. The hero Nemuri Kiyoshiro (Ichikawa Raizo) was an enigmatic ronin (masterless samurai) who was a cynic who didn’t appear to care about the world. There were always women throwing themselves at him, while he faced off against the rich and powerful who were often corrupt. This collections contains the fifth to eighth movies in the franchise.<br /><br />Thus there’s the head official of the Todo clan that was ordered by the Shogunate to crackdown on a pirate gang but took half of their treasure for himself with the help of a greedy rice merchant. In The Sword of Satan the Iwashiro elders wanted to manipulate the young heir Tsurumatsu so that they might remain in control of the clan’s wealth. Princess Kiku, the sadistic daughter of the Shogun made a return in The Mask of the Princess seeking revenge upon Kiyoshiro. In the Sword of Villainy the writers tried to change up the plot with Kiyoshiro helping to put down a rebellion, but lets him go off on the lords and Shogunate that caused the rebellion in the first place.<br /><br />There’s a bit of exploitation added to the films as well. Kiyoshiro was part Japanese, part European as his mother was raped by a Christian missionary in what was termed a black mass. In The Sword of Stan there was another such ceremony. The movie portrays this Satanic act as part of the evil of Christianity in Japan.<br /><br />Sleepy Eyes of Death belongs right up there with Zatoichi and Lone Wolf and Cub for Japanese samurai series. It lays out the plot quickly and then gets to the intrigue, twists and turns, and plenty of sword fighting.<br />C

A look into how poverty traps people and whether anyone can escape it

Mississippi Damned is a look into the culture of poverty. It’s characterized by unstable families, low paying jobs, unemployment, alcoholism, drug use, short term thinking, etc. It creates a whole system which traps families for generations into what’s been termed the underclass. That’s what the three sisters in the movie Michael Hyatt, Jossie Thacker and Simbi Khali and their children Malcolm David Kelly and Malcolm Goodwin, Kylee Russell and Tessa Thompson and Chasity Kershal are facing.<br /><br />The story takes place across two decades 1986 and 1998. It starts with the sisters but the real focus is upon the kids and whether they will perpetuate the same pattens as their parents. They are all stuck in a powerful system of poverty where hope seems impossible. It’s also very depressing and yet touching at the same time.

Colors and action will amaze you in another great release by director Zhang

The House of Flying Daggers was a robin hood operation to help the Chinese people out during hard times when the government was weak and corrupt and didn’t provide for them. Two policemen Jin (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and Leo (Andy Lau) are charged putting an end to the rebels. The movie is a period piece action-drama with some beautiful direction by Zhang Yimou. The story comes down to a test of loyalty and friendship between Jin and Leo as they get caught in a love triangle with a backdrop of rebellion against the government.<br /><br />Director Zhang was known for his use of beautiful colors, dramatic action and direction in films such as the Red Sorghum, Ju Dou, Raise the Red Lantern, Hero, and The Curse of the Golden Flower. House of Flying Daggers was no different. For instance, Jin is at a high class house of ill repute and asks to see the dancing skills of a blind woman named Mei (Zhang Ziyi). The house features huge rooms with all kinds of vibrant and bright colors. Me is decked out in a dress full of contrasting blue colors. Leo then enters and wants to see her skills as well and challenges her to the Echo Game where he throws beans at an array of drums and she has to repeat the pattern while dancing and using her dress to hit the drums. The sequence utilizes CGI, slow motion effects, and some real amazing dance skills in a perfect display of Zhang’s artistry. The situation is made even more dramatic as Mei grabs Leo’s sword with her dress and tries to kill him at the end which leads to a martial arts scene as the two duel. It turns out she is in the House of Flying Daggers.<br /><br />That style set the stage for the entire movie. Even when it moved outside Zhang was still able to work his magic such as a beautiful action scene where Mei and Jin are being attacked by soldiers in a bamboo forest. The soldiers send down a rain of bamboo spears and booby traps on the ground as they fly along the treetops. The colors continue with the forest a sea of green, the soldiers in a darker green, and the Flying Daggers showing up in a lighter green.<br /><br />If you want to see a modern and artistic interpretation of a Kung Fu movie than you should definitely watch The House of Flying Daggers. It is a visual experience you shouldn’t miss.<br />C

Story fell flat Action wasn't exciting

Robin Hood was an attempt to update the traditional story while sticking with some of the main elements. On the one hand you have Robin fighting the sheriff and helping the common people, on the other hand Little John is a Muslim Yahya ib Umar played by Jamie Foxx. The Crusades are also added this time making a comment about how Europe today is anti-Muslim and afraid of refugees from the Middle East because they see Islam as a threat.<br /><br />The problem is the plot and action are all mediocre. There’s nothing in the fight scenes that catches your attention. Overall it’s an uninteresting adaptation and lands completely flat.<br />C

Jackie Chan gets to play a tough guy cop for a change

The Protector did not have a good start. A big rig truck gets robbed in the city by a group of people dressed like they walked off the set of Road Warrior. Thankfully after that it settles down into a police story with Jackie Chan being a New York City detective who is sent to Hong Kong along with Danny Aiello to investigate the kidnapping of a rich debutant.<br /><br />Chan does not play his usual happy go lucky character. Here he has an attitude many times and even cusses something I hadn’t seen from him before. In Hong Kong Chan gets to do his usual fight and stunt work like driving a motorcycle off the top of boats and getting into it with some gangsters in the middle of a massage parlor. That scene by the way had to inspire the very similar one in Rush Hour 2. I have to say the fight scenes were pretty tame in this movie which was a bit of a disappointment. Still it wasn’t a bad film overall.

Great ancient war epic but casting Brad Pitt was horrible

I really like this movie but I think Brad Pitt as Achilles was a horrible bit of casting. The film went with a Hollywood trope that all ancient Greeks and Romans have a British accent because they have no idea what ancient Greek or Latin sounds like. (They let Eric Bana slip by with his Australian accent thinking that most people won’t know the difference.) Hence Pitt tries really badly to sound English. Overlooking that the film is a good ancient war epic.<br /><br />The story revolves around love and power. Paris/Orlando Bloom of Troy falls in love with Helen/Diane Kruger who is the wife of Menelaus/Brendan Gleeson the king of Sparta. That allows Agamemnon/Brian Cox to go to war with Troy.<br /><br />The movie had a huge budget so it built gigantic sets, hired hundreds of extras to play the two opposing armies plus the people of Troy. Today this would all be done using CGI. I appreciated the realism in the giant battle scenes. Those are really the highlights of the film mixed in with some one on one battles like Hector vs Achilles.<br /><br />Out of the cast Peter O’Toole as Priam the king of Troy stands out for one scene where he gives a speech about respect between enemies. Bana is also good as the loyal brother and prince of Troy.<br /><br />They don’t really make big war movies like this anymore using real people instead of special effects.

Good movie about power politics in big cities

City Hall is about power politics in New York City after a cop and a gangster shoot each other and a little kid gets killed in the crossfire. Al Pacino plays the mayor and John Cusack his deputy as they have to maneuver through the police, the courts, rival politicians and the mafia to stop the incident from blowing up in their faces. The film is a good fictional story about how cities are run through connections and backroom deals. Everyone knows each other and one hand scratches the back of another. Pacino and Cusack are great as politicians in this mix. Pacino gives inspiring speeches while Cusack is the grease man making things happen. I didn’t like the ending however because it went against the rest of the movie by trying to end on an uplifting note.

Mind blowing adventure through history art & Bible to discover a story about Jesus

The Da Vinci Code was the film version of the best-selling novel by Dan Brown. It was a mind bending thriller that questioned one of the core stories of the Bible and beliefs of Christianity. The film featured Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon a professor of symbology and Audrey Tautou as French police inspector Sophie Neveu. After Neveu’s grandfather is killed in the Louvre museum Langdon and Neveu go on a breathtaking treasure hunt for clues that leads them to the story of about the Holy Grail and Jesus.<br /><br />To show how intriguing and amazing the writing was for this story, which was adopted from Brown’s book, just look at what Langdon and Neveu discovered in the Louvre after the grandfather’s murder. First, the grandfather is laid out on the floor like Da Vinci’s Vitruvian man. Then they find that he wrote a message in invisible ink on the floor that can only be seen with a UAV light. Inspector Neveu arrives and together with Langdon discover that the grandfather left an anagram in his message which spells Leonardo Da Vinci and leads to his Mona Lisa painting where he left another anagram about Da Vinci’s Virgin of the Rocks where a key is discovered. The two then have to escape the museum because a French police Captain Bezu Fache (Jean Reno) believes that Langdon was involved in the elder Neveu’s murder. The movie continues like that throwing in art, culture, history, myths, and stories Brown created while also including a lot of thrills and adventure as Langdon and Neveu try to escape Fache.<br /><br />The Da Vinci Code was a great adventure, but even more than that, the story that Brown created and which was adapted to the big screen will totally blow your mind. It was one of the most original plots in ages.<br />C

Williams got to be Williams in this role that also gave a slice of the Vietnam War

Good Morning Vietnam was one of Robin Williams’ outstanding roles. He played radio DJ Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) who broadcast over the armed forces radio out of Saigon during the Vietnam War. The story is about how he shook up the station with his personality which he hoped would help out the troops while they fought. In the process he got into nothing but trouble with his superiors. This was the perfect part for Williams because he basically got to play himself.<br /><br />Everything Williams was known for was what he got to do with Cronauer. He was fast talking, doing different voices, and making non-stop jokes. Williams got to show all the manic parts of his personality. It’s a blast.<br /><br />Of course trying to be an individual in the military is not encouraged so his antics got him into trouble with the radio station. They didn’t like the fact that he played Rock and Soul music. They didn’t like his jokes. The tipping point was when he read an unedited news story about a bombing that he experienced in Saigon. Cronauer’s conflict was a like a metaphor for the Vietnam War. The soldiers knew what was going on but they weren’t getting the truth from the military.<br /><br />Overall the movie is a lot of fun and was a great vehicle for Williams’ talent.<br />C

Grand samurai drama based upon one of the main advisers to famous Daimyo Lord Takeda

Samurai Banners features Toshiro Mifune as an adviser to the famous Japanese Daimyo (warlord) Takeda Shingen in an epic historical drama. Before the rise of the Shogunate run by the Tokugawa clan, Lord Takeda was one of the most powerful military figures in central Japan. The film was made by Mifune’s own production company.<br /><br />The movie begins with Mifune as a lowly ronin (masterless samurai) Yamamoto Kansuke, but one with a keen strategic mind. The film traces his rise from his poor beginning to a key vassal to Lord Takeda. Yamamoto’s ruthlessness to attain power and position is shown right at the beginning as he cuts down his own friend to gain an opening with the Takedas. Then his intellect is shown when he becomes an adviser to Takeda. His first act is to propose an invasion of neighboring Suwa, then call it off to carry out negotiations with its lord, which is just a plot to lure him into Takeda’s territory to kill him. Into this mix they decided to throw a love triangle as Yamamoto and Lord Takeda both want the same woman, Princess Yu.<br /><br />The movie is a beautiful period piece with a large budget. That’s shown with all the extras they hired to play Takeda’s army. Unfortunately they only seemed to have enough money for two set battles, the Battle of Uedahara, that featured Itagaki Nobukata’s famous red armored troops, and the Battle of Kawanakajima. The later is one of the most famous confrontations in ancient Japan between Takeda and Lord Uesugi and has one of its most epic scenes when Uesugi personally broke through the Takeda's defenses and attacked Takeda himself who fought off several attacks by Uesugi with his war fan. The actor playing Uesugi has an amazing facial expression during this incident that gives it added drama. All the soldiers running around with the flags attached to their backs is where the title of the film comes from.<br /><br />For grand samurai dramas you couldn’t do better than Samurai Banners.<br />C

A real family drama with some Kung Fu

This was a Taiwanese film that attempted to create a real story rather than just having it be an excuse for the Kung Fu. The first half of the movie is Gua Ah-Lei playing an old woman looking for her long lost son Liang Hsiu-Shen she hasn’t seen for years. There is no fighting during that entire part. The second half is about whether Liang will get revenge which requires him to get over his hang ups and oppose his mother who just wants him home. That becomes more traditional with training and of course the big confrontation at the end, while maintaining the theme of the family. I appreciated the effort even though the first part could be a little slow at times.

Really original sci-fi film of a killer fighting himself to try to save his future

Looper was a very interesting and smart sci-fi film written directed and produced by Rian Johnson who was doing the TV show Breaking Bad at the time.<br /><br />The film takes place in the future where time travel has been outlawed and is only used by criminals. Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is an assassin called a Looper used by the gangs to get rid of people who use time travel. The twist is that the Loopers actually kill themselves eventually to get rid of any loose ends. The problem starts when Joe has to kill his future self played by Bruce Willis and then Willis beats him up and knocks him out. When the Gordon-Levitt Joe awakes there’s a not telling him to run because he knows that the gang will be after him. Then things flip to how the older Joe got into his predicament, and then how he tried to change his past to save his future. That’s where things get really good. Gordon-Levitt is determined to stop Willis and that provides a battle of wills. Along the way there are some really big twists and turns, along with gun play.<br /><br />What was so good about the film was that it always kept you guessing. You never knew how things were going to work out and there were constant curves thrown at the viewer.<br /><br />Well worth watching.

Stunning start to the Daredevil series on Netflix

Daredevil was Netflix’s first entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it made quite a splash. The season pitted Matt Murdock-Daredevil/Charlie Cox against Wilson Fisk/Vincent D’Onofrio aka the Kingpin. Even though it’s a superhero story it actually plays out like a mystery. Initially Cox doesn’t even know D’Onofrio exists but then slowly picks up pieces and starts putting the puzzle together.<br /><br />D’Onofrio is amazing in his performance. He is completely sinister and imposing in every scene he’s in. You can just feel the power emanating from him. Every story like this needs a good villain and he was everything you could ask for. At the same time, he’s a complicated man as shown with his relationship with Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa.<br /><br />They also ease into the Daredevil character. His first appearance he doesn’t have an outfit yet he’s just wearing black. They also hint at his baton when he picks up a cattle prod and bounces it off several walls to hit a man. His fight scenes were also super realistic. That meant he had to hit a guy multiple and extended times to put him down. In turn, Cox not only gets beat, bruised and bloody, but actually gets tired as well. That’s all shown in an excellent scene where Cox goes through a basement fighting off a group of henchmen. Another time he takes on a bunch of Russians in a dark garage which captures the mood of Daredevil.<br /><br />Being the first season they also mix in Daredevil’s origins story which is taken right from the comics.<br /><br />The supporting cast was great as well. Deborah Ann Woll was Karen Page and Elden Henson was Foggy Nelson two seminal characters in the original comic book series who work with Murdock. Rosario Dawson is nurse Claire Temple who would play across many of Netflix’s Marvel. productions. Vondie Curtis-Hall id journalist Ben Urich, and Rob Morgan id Turk a local criminal who got a lot of play in the Frank Miller period of the comic. Toby Leonard plays James Wesley Fisk’s lieutenant, and Bob Gunton, Peter Shinkoda and Wai Ching Ho were Kingpin’s business associates. Henson for his frivolousness and Dawson for her courage stand out the most from this large cast. The best however was the inclusion of Scott Glenn as Stick Daredevil’s mentor. He’s got such an attitude and constantly verbally picks on Cox it’s great. He also adds a whole element of mystery and mysticism to the series.

His efforts are not welcomed by powerful businessman Wilson Fisk -- AKA Kingpin -- and others whose interests collide with Daredevil's. Though Murdock's day job suggests a man who believes in the criminal justice system, his alter ego proves otherwise, as he takes the law into his own hands to protect his Hell's Kitchen neighborhood and the surrounding city..

What happens when you put a black family in white comedy? You get Are We Done Yet?

What happens when black people get cast in a white family comedy? The answer is Are We Done Yet? the sequel to Are We There Yet? This time Ice Cube and family buy a fixer upper country home. The comedy is mostly formulaic like the young kids all spilling food on Cube during breakfast. That meant a lot of the jokes were VERY corny. I only laughed a few times. It probably would’ve gone over a lot better with young kids. Still it was a pretty big disaster from start to finish.

Was almost a satire of the first Jump Street film and still hilarious

22 Jump Street was almost as good as the original. Again, the main stars returned with Jonah Hill as Officer Schmidt, Channing Tatum as Officer Jenko, Ice Cube as their boss Captain Dickson. This time the film was almost a satire of the first release.<br /><br />The opening scenes showed that the writers and director were having fun with the movie. First, Schmidt and Jenko find some gangsters at a port but don’t know what they’re up to. Schmidt decides to go under cover as some Chicano gangsters. The problem is Jenko can’t pull it off. He has the worst voice. They get back to the police station and Deputy Chief Hardy (Nick Offerman) tells them the second time you do something it is always worse. Then they go to see Captain Dickson who has a huge glass wall office, which Schmidt says looks like a giant cube of ice. Finally, Captain Dickson said the bosses want the exact same thing so Schmidt and Jenko are going back to school, this time to college instead of high school. These self-referential scenes highlighted that 22 Jump Street had no problem with mocking itself and not taking things too seriously. That was just the start of the comedy as well. That made this a very worthy sequel.<br />C

This extended version of Return of the King is better than the original

This is an extended version of Return of the King. The movie is spread across 2 discs and has extra scenes that were cut from the original. The last 2 discs are full of extras. Each part of the trilogy had a theme. The first was about the costs the Fellowship of the Ring would suffer on their quest to destroy the Ring. The second was about not giving up hope. This the third was whether the Fellowship could overcome the power of the Ring and complete their task. The dangers is laid out with a story of how Smeagol found the Ring and turned into Golem. It was a warning of what the Ring could do to Frodo.<br /><br />Out of the three extended versions of the Lord of the Ring trilogy this is by far the best one. The cut scenes really fill out the story and have some great images to them. For instance, there’s a scene about what happened to Saruman after his defeat in the last movie. In the other two movies the additions were nice and interesting but not essential. This one is actually better than the original release.

Predictable but enjoyable 1 of Terrence Howard's better roles

Pride is an inspirational story loosely based upon a swimming coach in inner city Philadelphia trying to organize black teenagers into a team to compete a white sport. It’s very predictable and yet enjoyable. I liked that it didn’t follow the usual story arch of struggle and then everything just got better and better. There were ups and downs. Terrence Howard and Bernie Mac were a great duo leading the kids. I think this is one of Howard’s better movies and Mac of course brings the laughs. The soundtrack was great full of 70s Soul and Funk. Here’s the one knock.Tthe ending was like a Disney movie. Plus they finished with an African type song. Why??? They found a groove with period pieces why did they conclude with this tune that has nothing to do with the rest of the plot? Still, it’s recommended.

Godzilla goes against his alien doppleganger Mechagodzilla

Godzilla vs the Cosmic Monster was the second title used upon the American release of Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. Once again aliens have come to Earth hoping to wipe out Godzilla and then conquer the planet. To defeat the big lizard they decided to create their own robotic version of him. Godzilla doesn’t have to stand alone however as he has King Caesar from Okinawa to help him.<br /><br />I’ve always loved Mechagodzilla. He could shoot missiles and lasers out of nearly every part of his body. It seemed like Godzilla had no chance against him. It made for a great monster flick.<br />C

Coming of age story about contradictions with Viking befriending a dragon

How To Train Your Dragon is about contradictions. That’s shown at the start as the main character Hiccup is a thin young man in a village full of huge Vikings. They are terrorized by dragons and he ends up befriending one of them. This trend continues throughout the movie with kids saving adults, small dragons fighting big ones, etc. The movies is at its heart a coming of age story for Hiccup who has to deal with the expectations of his father who is the chief of the town and a famous dragon fighter. He not only makes friends but gets a girl in the process. It’s a very well told story.

Musical scenes outshine the story that stalls halfway through movie

Idlewild is a musical drama featuring Big Boi and Andre 3000 from Outkast. The two were best friends since they were kids. When they grow up Big Boi is a star singer while Andre 3000 is scared of the spotlight. Big Boi gets in trouble with a gangster played by Terrance Howard. The story is about how the two friends will deal with this dilemma.<br /><br />Part of the movie is Big Boi and Andre 3000 performing songs. They’re very entertaining with one being a club scene with plenty of dancing while another has coo-coo clocks in a room singing the back-ups. Those are actually some of the best parts because the story stalls. It starts off good but once it lays out the problem with Howard it doesn’t seem to go anywhere until the very end.

Not enough there there

Jonah Hex was released in 2010 before DC was trying to play catch up with Marvel. That meant they weren’t ready to launch any of their big stars and picked a mostly unknown to the general public Jonah Hex. Not only that, but it was a period piece set in the U.S. right after the civil war. It actually isn’t bad, but it’s nothing great either.<br /><br />The film features Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) who saw his family massacred in front of him by Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). He was branded on the face, which disfigured him, and left to die before he was rescued by Indians who gave him magical powers to talk to the dead. Afterward he lived as a bounty hunter even though he had a price on his head as well. Hex not only wants revenge upon Turnball, but has to stop his plan to overthrow the republic.<br /><br />There are a couple problems with this character. First, he’s a confederate. In one scene he’s talking to a black man who said Hex wasn’t for succession or slavery he just didn’t like being told what to do. Unfortunately, this is part of the southern myth that the Civil War wasn’t really about slavery, but rather state’s rights, when it was ALL about slavery. Second, Hex’s power to speak to the dead really adds nothing. That’s especially true because he’s really just an ugly gun fighter. That being said the action is okay and there’s a steady pace to the story. All together that’s the reason why this film was a huge flop. There just wasn’t enough there there.<br />C

Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His one human connection is with Lilah (Megan Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah's past catches up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can’t refuse: to wipe out the warrants on his head, he must hunt and stop dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, now gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead..

Akira Kurosawa's greatest expression of his humanism

Red Beard is one of Akira Kurosawa’s greatest expressions of his humanism. Toshiro Mifune plays a humble doctor selflessly taking care of the poor. Yuzo Kayama is fresh out of school hoping to get some important assignment when instead he ends up working for Mifune. At first he resents being there but then when he sees and hears the stories of the people coming for treatment he joins the practice whole heartedly. The movie goes through one patient’s story after another from a dying man talking about how he lost his wife and child to a crazed woman who killed several men and threatened to end the life of Kayama. It’s these stories which make the movie.

Logan Prof Xavier and a new girl Laura become a dysfunctional mutant family

Logan is hands down the best X-Men movie and one of the greatest Marvel releases ever! The movie comes full circle with the X-Men mythos. Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) was like a father figure to all the young X-Men, teaching them how to use their powers and mentoring them. In Logan, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) had to take on that role as he came across Laura (Dafne Keen) a mutant created in a laboratory out of Logan’s DNA. Wolverine, having always been an iconoclast struggles with this duty. Added bonus they made the film R rated which meant they went graphic with the fighting and they got to cuss which were all used to great effect.<br /><br />The movie begins in a world where mutants are disappearing. On top of that the adamantium inside Logan’s body is making him sick and Professor Xavier is not only facing dementia but is losing control of his powers having killed hundreds in one incident. Logan, Xavier and Caliban (Stephen Merchant) are hiding out in a compound in Mexico across from the Texas border when they discover Laura. She was bred in a lab run by a company called Transigen to create new mutants as weapons. She and other children all escaped and are to rendezvous and try to make it into Canada. That becomes the story as Logan and Xavier try to help her escape while bonding as a dysfunctional family. They are being chased by Dr. Zander Rice (Richard Grant) and Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) from Transigen.<br /><br />The writers did a great job creating this aged version of the X-Men. Xavier for instance is a crazed old man who if not medicated gives out powerful brain waves that freezes everyone around him and could kill them if they last long enough. Logan looks scruffy with greying hair and is dealing with his own medical problems including his healing powers slowing down. Together they’re like a version of the Odd Couple. This is also the dilemma because they have to get into the hero business to help Laura but they couldn’t be in worse shape to do so. Not only that but Wolverine is a horrible father figure. He has no idea how to deal with kids.<br /><br />Laura on the other hand is like a feral animal. She doesn’t even talk for the first part of the movie. When she’s faced with a threat she explodes in action. Because she was basically a lab baby she also doesn’t know how to act around people which leads to some comedy like when she goes into a convenience store takes a bunch of stuff, starts eating and then almost kills the cashier.<br /><br />The action comes fast and furious and it’s good to see some blood shed when Wolverine and Laure cut them up with their claws. This is what Logan does but was never really shown on film because the previous films were PG.<br /><br />All together these elements are what make Logan such a great release, and goes up against anything released as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Bit of a mixed bag in terms of songs

The Steve Miller Band had an interesting sound. Sometimes they played Blues tunes other times it was this spaced out Hippie-drug influenced music. I have to say not many of them touched me.

Lil Bow Wow deals with family women and most importantly roller skating

This movie invokes a lot of nostalgia. I remember roller rinks. Roller Disco. The soundtrack is a great mix of 1970s Soul and Funk which always brings a smile to my face.<br /><br />The story itself is a coming of age tale about Lil Bow Wow his family, women and roller skating. For instance his mother died which he and his father played by Chi McBride are still dealing with. Most of the movie however has a light mood as Bow Wow hangs out with his friends and they skate and plan for a big competition. It’s fun stuff and makes for an enjoyable film.

I gave it try because of Scorsese & Day-Lewis and regretted every minute of it

I don’t usually go for stories about rich socialites but I thought I’d give this a try because of Daniel Day-Lewis and Martin Scorsese. I regretted every minute of it.<br /><br />The movie is based upon a book and it tries to capture its literary source material with a voice over about all the leading families of Gilded Age New York and the gossip about them as well. The assumption is that people just can’t get enough of the wealthy. I have the opposite reaction. I could care less about the family histories, the art, and the China plates they used. Worse yet the story is full of people being proper yet full of yearning because doing more could lead to a scandal in high society. And they drag this out for over two excruciating hours! Really though it’s such a bore. It drove me crazy how pompous and repressed all the characters were.

Pressure of the restaurant industry from the back to the front of the house

Boiling Point is about the pressure of running a restaurant from the chefs to the waitresses to the manager to the dish washers and customers.<br /><br />The tension starts with a health inspector going through everything and criticizing how Stephen Graham runs his place. That sets him off yelling at his staff. He’s not a maniac but it shows how much stress is involved in the profession. A restaurant is like a team sport and when one thing goes wrong it can reverberate throughout the organization. That’s what Boiling Point is all about.<br /><br />That’s not what initially stands out however. It’s the fact that the movie is one and half hours long and it’s all done in one take. That means they kept the camera running during the entire production, never stopping for another camera or angle. The ability to pull that off is a minor miracle.<br /><br />I’m a food lover so this kind of movie is right up my alley.

Powerful critique of the samurai but takes too long to develop

“Samurai honor (Bushido) is nothing but a façade”<br /><br />1962’s Harakiri was a Japanese period piece featuring Tatsuya Nakadai as the ronin (masterless samurai) Tsugumo Hanshiro. Tatsuya was one of the iconic Japanese actors of this period. He was known for playing villains in such films as Yojimbo and heavies like in Sword of Doom. The director Masaki Kobayashi was one of Japan’s top creative forces.<br /><br />Harakiri starts with the ronin Tsugumo Hanshiro arriving at the Iyi clan castle in 1630. He claimed he was poor and desperate and wanted to commit ritual suicide, seppuku, with the help of the clan. Just a year before another ronin Motome Chijiwa with the exact same story and coming from the same area Hiroshima asked for the same favor from the Iyi. The problem was the Iyi saw him as not only a fraud but a disgrace and made him commit suicide with a bamboo sword he came with. He sold his real sword because he was so impoverished. He therefore could barely split his belly and had to suffer before he was given the death blow by his second. The scene is excruciating and shows the cruelty of the Iyi clan. It tuns out Tsugumo is putting the Iyi on trial for this crime. The movie then was a critique of the samurai way of honor, ritual sacrifice, and the lords that controlled their lives. As Tsugumo says, “Samurai honor is a façade.”<br /><br />Tatsuya Nakadai provides another strong performance. He’s not only playing another heavy, but he is a man who has been wronged and is on a mission. His human side is also well developed as a father and family man, and then a man consumed by remorse and then vengeance. The problem is the story takes so long to develop it strains the viewer’s patience. Thankfully the ending is amazing, and hits at the overall message about the problems with the samurai.<br />C

The emergence of Islam through the eyes of a slave who wanted liberation

Bilal is about a slave who is inspired to rise up and free himself and others in the early days of Islam as it was just emerging in Arabia. He meets a man at the market who talks about how everyone is equal in front of God and that injustice will be righted. The story takes place in Mecca and at the market you can see the famous Kaaba which Muslims make a pilgrimage to. The story follows the beginning of Islam such as the trip out of Mecca to Medina, etc.<br /><br />I’ve read some of the reviews talking about how the film was trying to hide that it was about religion and that Islam never talked about equality etc. The problem with those criticisms is that they are ignoring the fact that is this is a movie. This is a piece of fiction. It is not a historical documentary. I applaud the directors and producers for making this movie because so little is known about Muslims and Islam in the West. Instead the discussion is dominated by negative stereotypes.<br /><br />Even if you didn’t pick up that this story is based upon the emergency of a major religion it’s a good story by itself. Bilal goes through trials as a slave like confrontations with his masters but always had an inner strength that sustained him. My one criticism is that the ending is really rushed. It jumps through a bunch of events to get to the conclusion. It could’ve cut all that out and still had a good plot.

An act of total barbarism by the prison system backed by the govt

In the 1970s Attica Prison in upstate New York had one of the largest prison revolts in U.S. history. The documentary is very traditional with talking head after talking head mixed in with documentary footage. What stood out was some of the speeches that the prisoners gave at the time talking about how they demanded that they be treated like people and not dogs by the prison administration. Unsurprisingly the system was unwilling to make any changes. It’s also amazing how events played out like a novel with turning points and tragedies. It went from a tragedy however to something completely barbaric.

What an intense Sci-Fi/Horror flick

This is an exciting Sci-Fi/Horror flick. It’s based upon a Noah’s ark type spaceship where Ben Foster and Dennis Quaid wake up from suspended animation and find out there’s something running around the craft. The movie builds in intensity right from the start when Foster suddenly wakes up completely disoriented trying to escape his constraints and get out of his capsule. It just gets better and better from there. I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time waiting to see what came next. Definitely something people should check out.

Routine and nothing special

This horror movie didn’t work for me at all. A loner Goth girl befriends a popular girl and bad things happen, namely she gets haunted by the Goth. Weird things happen on her computer. People go crazy. Some die. It’s all pretty routine and nothing special.

Bill Murray's 1st movie where he gets to play the irresponsible camp counselor

When Bill Murray left Saturday Night Live for Hollywood he did a lot of low brow comedies. Meatballs was a perfect example with Murray in his very first film playing a summer camp counselor. Oddly enough it was a perfect role for his early movie career. He got to play the non-serious and irresponsible adult figure at a camp full of kids where he befriends Rudy (Chris Makepeace) who is picked on by some of the other kids.<br /><br />There’s nothing surprising in the story. There are girls and boys with hormones going off. camping, canoeing, ghost stories, and a lot of goofing off. The movie was also more family oriented so there’s no people running around naked or having sex. The only thing to watch is Murray’s performance. He has some really good scenes like when he’s at a dance and does some ridiculous moves to keep the attention of the woman he likes. Another time the camp he works at is being killed by the rival camp in an Olympic tournament and Murray gets everyone to chant “It just doesn’t matter” because they know they are in a hopeless situation.<br /><br />Overall, it’s not a bad movie and Murray is good but there are far better films of his from his period.<br />C

Tries too hard to copy Bruce Lee

Bruce Li was one of many actors chosen by Hong Kong studios to try to fill the huge shoes left empty after the death of Bruce Lee. Here the film even starts off with Lee, played by Li, passing the torch to Li. Li then tries to find out who killed Lee. The problem is they tried to make Li like Lee so all the fight scenes he makes the same kind of sounds and tries to copy Lee’s style. I didn’t like it because it was just trying to exploit Lee’s legacy. Thankfully he drops that persona halfway through but then they had Li dress up like a character Lee played in the Chinese Connection. If I want to see Bruce Lee I’ll watch one of his films I don’t want to watch Li acting like Lee.

5 medical students believe they can explore death

Five medical students Kiefer Sutherland, Oliver Pratt, Julia Roberts, William Baldwin and Kevin Bacon want to explore death in a series of experiments. Things begin with them killing Sutherland and then bringing him back. Afterward all the others want to do the same. The movie then explores their experiences. As you can guess things don’t turn out the way they thought they would.<br /><br />The story is all about the students’ hubris. They believe that they can play with death and everything will be fine. That’s the draw of the movie as many people would like to know if there is something after death. The film does a good job dealing with the issue questioning whether people can be at peace with themselves which after all is what people hope the afterlife is all about.<br />C

More action and funnier than original Night At The Museum

The success of Night At The Museum led it to become a series with this being the second film. This time they took Ben Stiller on the road to the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. There he met some new figures such as Ameila Earthart/Amy Adams and General George Custer/Bill Hader and Hank Azaria as the villain Kah Mun Rah. This one had much more action as Stiller and company are chased around the various Smithsonians and was also funnier than the original. For instance Azaria interviews villains found in the museum and turns down Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street because he wasn’t evil. It was definteily a step above the first movie.

A ghost story as a tragedy

The Awakening starts off as your standard ghost hunting story. Rebecca Hall is a noted author who tries to dispel ghost appearances. She’s brought to a boarding school by Dominic West to investigate a haunting. Things go by the numbers initially with Hall setting up cameras and devices to try to discover who is behind the affair. It then quickly becomes complicated however. That’s because the story has a lot of depth and is written as a tragedy. Hall and West for instance are haunted by their pasts in World War I. The ghost story actually has a lot of substance. The ending has a great twist. In the end the film surprised me because it was not what I expected.

The decadence of arena Rock at its best

This concert by Queen in 1986 shows all the highs and lows of the group at that time. They come with one hit after another like Another One Bites The Dust to Radio Ga Ga. On the other hand there are points where they showed how decadent arena Rock had become at that time such as a long guitar solo for Brian May where he gets to run all around the stage to show off. Still I love Queen and even the songs I didn’t know I enjoyed.

A story about relationships wrapped within a crime drama

Curse Of The Jade Scorpion is billed as a comedy-crime drama but there’s little of the former. Despite the lack of jokes it was still an enjoyable story about relationships between people. Woody Allen investigates a jewelry thief and runs into some ridiculous situations and people like Charliz Theron as a femme fatale. The best part is his running feud with Helen Hunt who he works with. They spew endless insults at each other. Not that funny but still worthwhile.

Greatest war story every produced

I remember when I heard Band of Brothers was coming out on HBO. I was so mad because I didn’t have cable at the time, so I had to ask my aunt who lived in New Jersey to record all the episodes on VHS and then mail me the tapes. I watched the episodes over and over. I think it might be the greatest war story ever produced.<br /><br />Band of Brothers has its origins with the Stephen Ambrose book of the same name that recorded the history of E Company of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division as it landed in Normandy France in 1944 all the way to the end of the war for the unit in Austria.<br /><br />Each episode begins with interviews with survivors of the unit who recollect what they went through. That gives the series a level of authenticity right from the start.<br /><br />There are 10 episodes total. The first is “Curahee, which starts with the unit waiting for D-Day to be announced, but is mostly about how E Company went through basic training at Camp Toccoa in Georgia in 1943. Their commanding officer Lt Sobel (David Schwimmer) is incompetent leading to a dangerous rebellion with the unit’s sergeants going to their overall commander Colonel Robert Sink (Dale Dye) to get Sobel relieved of command. The episode is important because it introduces the first set of major characters, and there’s lots of them, and how they bonded before they went into combat.<br /><br />Usually, with a series this long there would be low points, but that’s not true with Band of Brothers. Each one is a great mix of characters and action. There’s episode 2 “Days of Days” where the unit dropped into Normandy into utter chaos as the men were spread all over the French countryside. Episode 3 “Carentan” covered the capture of that town and the story of Private Blithe (Marc Warren) who suffered from shell shock and then came out of it only to be shot and later die of his wounds. Episode 7 “The Breaking Point” covers the hell the unit suffered through during the Battle of the Bulge. “Why We Fight” covers the unit discovering a concentration camp in Germany. The prisoners they find are horrifying. During the fighting, and especially in Bastogne, the brotherhood between the troops is shown again and again. That’s especially true because so many of the men get killed or wounded. One officer actually breaks after he sees so many of his friends get blown up during the Bulge.<br /><br />It’s really just an amazing series that any war or history buff will love.<br />C

Good story but takes a while to develop

Zatoichi comes across a man cut down by a ronin (masterless samurai) and then robbed by highwaymen. His last dying words are to deliver a bag of money to two people. That sets Zatoichi off on his latest quest, to deliver the bag.<br /><br />The film is a little different from others in the series with the introduction of a blind priest who tries to give advice to Ichi about how to conduct his life. Zatoichi for example, finds the family of the man killed on the road and ends up trying to protect them from the local Yakuza (gangster) boss, but the priest warns him about exposing the family’s young son to violence. This causes an internal struggle for Ichi because his first instinct is to kill the Yakuza who are praying upon the family, but he can’t because he doesn’t want to make a bad impression.<br /><br />The priest dominates the story so much that common tropes for Zatoichi movies are skipped. For example, there’s no gambling scene.<br /><br />The problem with the film is that it takes so long for it to develop. Eventually things get going, you just have to wait.<br />C

If you want all the Terminator films this is for you but there are no extras

If you want all the Terminator films then this is the box set for you. It has Terminator where Schwarzenegger set the norm for the unstoppable killer machine. Terminator 2: Judgement Day my personal fav of the entire franchise when Schwarzenegger became the savior, gets a personality and fights the T-1000 shapeshifter which was by far the best of the nemeses. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines was the weak part in the movies as it was just a re-make of Terminator 2 with Schwarzenegger trying to save a young adult John Connor. Terminator 4: Salvation was a break because it was set in future with Christian Bale as John Connor fighting the machines. Then things got better with Terminator Genisys which is a re-imagining of the first film and finally Terminator: Dark Fate which brought back Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor who once again teaming up with Schwarzenegger to fight in the present to save the future.<br /><br />Overall, the first two film are by far the best of the lot. All the following ones except for Terminator 4 are just derivatives of Terminator 2. You can judge for yourself which ones you like the best if you get this DVD collection.<br /><br />I would say the only drawback from this set is that there are no extras besides the ones contained on the original DVDs. A booklet or a separate disc with some bonus features would’ve been nice.

Didn't buy the modern & Amish worlds meeting as an effective story

A little Amish kid Samuel (Lukas Haas) sees a brutal murder in a train station bathroom. Detective John Book (Harrison Ford) is given the case. Things immediately become complicated when one of the murders turns out to be a cop Lt. James McFee (Danny Glover) and Book, Samule and his mom Rachel (Kelly McGillis) have to hide in Amish.<br /><br />Here’s the thing about Witness, it starts out like it’ll be a cat and mouse story. The corrupt cop chasing after Book, Samuel and Rachel. Instead it turns out to be about Book adjusting to living with the Amish and as you can guess he starts falling for Rachel and the story turns into a romance. Then at the end it reverts back to the good cop vs bad cop story. The comparison between the two worlds is one thing with the corrupt modern day vs the purer and simpler life of the Amish. I just never thought the two came together. The movie got 8 Academy nominations so what do I know.<br />C
