My favorite Tarantino inspired by Japanese & Hong Kong action flicks of the 60s-70s
Probably my favorite Tarantino film and that’s saying a lot because he’s put out some classics. Tarantino likes doing genre films. Death Proof was a take on the low budget b-rated films of the 1960s and 70s. Inglourious Basterds was a war film. Django Unchained was a period piece. The Hateful Eight a Western. Kill Bill Volume 1 was an action movie inspired by Chinese and Japanese cinema in a fantastic mash up. Tarantino always loved dialogue and usually spent most of his time focusing upon that. In Kill Bill Volume 1 however, the fighting, the gun play, the sword fights, etc. were all at the forefront. The film focuses upon revenge, specifically the Bride (Uma Thurman) seeking to kill all those that killed her fiancé, her baby, and tried to murder her.<br /><br />Emphasis upon the action is right at the start. The Bridge has a hit list and she starts with Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox) a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad that the Bride used to be a member of and carried out the hit job on her wedding. The Bride knocks on Green’s door and punches her in the face. They then have a no holds bar brawl in the living room. That’s what the entire movie would be like. This was about the Bridge hunting down her prey and killing each one of the people who tried to do her in. Watching her do it was a joy and again harkened back to Tarantino’s main influences for this film Hong Kong martial arts flicks and Japanese samurai movies.<br /><br />There are tons of amazing scenes in the film. Another member of the Deadly Vipers Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) whistling while she walks through a hospital to assassinate the Bride. Her revenge upon Buck the nurse that took advantage of her while she was in a coma. The ode to Anime with a short cartoon on how O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) killed the Yakuza boss that killed her family. The meeting with Hattori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba). All topped off by the gigantic never ending fight scene in a Japanese club where the Bride takes on all comers including an entire gang. It was the perfect mixture of action and blood with a great script rarely seen in the United States. It’s the reason why you can watch this movie over and over and it never gets old.<br />C

Predictable but still enjoyable
What would it be like to be on a spaceship with 1000s of passengers but be alone? That’s the premise of Passengers as Chris Pratt comes out of suspended animation to find out he’s the only one awake out of the whole crew. It becomes a Sci-Fi Romance and a very predictable one at that. It just gives such obvious hints at what’s going to happen it’s almost impossible to ignore. Still I think the movie worked. You automatically empathize with Pratt’s situation. No one would want to be in his situation. The tension was palpable. The action well done. That actually makes it pretty rare when you can tell what’s going to happen in broad terms and still enjoy it.

Class conflict & system of oppression in post-apocalyptic world
Snowpiercer is another amazing movie from the mind of director Bong Joon-ho. This time he delves into a postapocalyptic world where all the survivors of the world are trapped upon one train after the Earth has frozen over. The train is split into different classes with the poor at the back and the rich at the very front. Not only that but the powerful have instituted an authoritarian police state to maintain the status quo. Chris Evans is the hero who leads a revolt by the people at the back of the train. As he enters each car trying to get to the engine in the front he discovers something new. In the end he finds out it is all an elaborate system of control. It’s a completely original story dealing with the end of the world and how class conflict is perpetuated and plays out. Tilda Swinton as one of the oppressors is great. I also always enjoy watching Kang-Ho Song. The movie also provides plenty of action and excitement. Again, it’s something completely new.

Matthew Broderick goes to work for The Godfather Vito Corleone or so he thinks
The Freshman was a cute comedy playing upon Marlon Brando’s role as mafia boss Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather. It starts with college freshman Clark (Matthew Broderick) arriving in New York City and getting a job with Carmine Sabatini (Brando) who looks and acts just like Vito Corleone. That’s the first thing Clark thinks of when he sees him, and he even watches a scene from the Godfather in his film class. Given that Clark believes that he’s working for a mobster, but it turns out to be something completely different.<br /><br />Of course, what makes The Freshman was the fact that they got Brando to play the role. Without him the whole thing would not have worked. Broderick does a good job as the gullible college student acting like a fish out of water. What Sabatini is really up to proves hilarious and the twist in the movie.<br />C

Behind the scenes look at the chaos of making a movie
Irma Vep is a behind the scenes look at movie making as Maggie Cheung who plays herself is asked to start as Irma Vep in a remake of a silent film Les Vampires. You see the production team, there’s the costume department, the vision of the director and more. It’s total and complete chaos with the right hand often not knowing what the left hand is doing. It’s a celebration of cinema. What didn’t work was a scene in the middle about Cheung and a member of the crew which I thought was a waste. Otherwise it’s a very interesting movie.

2 men of different classes bond over hating American youth but story is so meandering
By the 1970s Hollywood was making some really meandering movies. Joe is an example. It starts off on one topic but really becomes about Dennis Patrick as a rich executive bonding with Peter Boyle who is working class. What brings them together is a hatred of society, especially youth culture. Boyle hates blacks, hippies, etc. Patrick hates the drug addicts and the poor. Not only that but they feel like vigilantism might be the answer to what was wrong. Boyle is especially poignant because he believes in white victimization. That whites were losing out and being discriminated against, a thought which is still powerful in today’s America.

Wolfpack goes wild in Las Vegas
When The Hangover was released in 2009 it was by far the funniest movie of the year. I have watched it again and again since then and it still gets a laugh. The movie is a hilarious take on the buddy film starring Bradley Cooper as Phil, Zach Galifianakis as Alan, and Ed Helms as Stu. They go on a bachelor party for their friend Doug (Justin Bartha) in Las Vegas. As Phil says at the start of the movie, things got out of control and they lost Doug. The Hangover then recounts their crazed day of partying.<br /><br />What is so good with The Hangover is the series of one liners, jokes and ridiculous situations. For instance, Doug is getting to use his future father in laws car to drive to Vegas and is told “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except herpes that will come back with you.” Then Phil collects money from his students for a field trip, but then pockets it for his trip to Vegas. When they get to Vegas and they check into Caesar’s Palace Alan asks the desk woman whether it was the real Caesar’s Palace. She asks him what did he mean? He asks whether Caesar actually lived there or not. Then the insanity begins. They wake up with a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in a closet, and away they go. They’ll run into an Asian gangster Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong), the police, and Mike Tyson amongst others. It is just one hilarious situation after another.<br />C

Odd choice of shy main character but magic and beasts made up for it
This was the first in the Fantastic Beasts movies and the first one that I saw as well. It was an interesting choice for a main character in Eddie Redmayne because besides his love of animals he’s not really a people person. In fact, there are many times when he acts shy and looks down at the ground instead of directly at people. Thankfully they included Dan Fogler to be Redmayne’s sidekick because he was much more interesting and entertaining. Of course what really made the movie was the magic and the magical beasts. It made for a fun adventure.

Tries to capture chemistry of Nolte-Murphy from original but falls short
48 Hours was Eddie Murphy’s first film and a huge hit. Of course that meant they had to make a sequel bringing Murphy as convict Reggie Hammond back with Nick Nolte as Officer Jack Cates. The story revolves around some bikers who are hired to kill Hammond which re-unites the two main characters.<br /><br />The two actors try to capture the chemistry that made their first collaboration such a money maker. Nolte is still playing the old chiseled hard-nosed cop and Murphy is still the goof off. Like the first film it is a buddy cop drama more than a comedy. That means there’s more time spent chasing after the bad guys mixed in with some gun play than Murphy cracking jokes.<br /><br />Overall the story is good but it just didn’t have the excitement of the first one.

Love story with a lot of hair drugs and obsession
Jason Statham has some hair. Chris Evans has a lot of hair. They both look ridiculous. Evans is dealing dope because he can’t get over losing his girlfriend Jessica Biel. The movie switches back and forth between Evans’ good times and bad. The latter involves a lot of drugs which is symbolic of Evans’ downfall. His long hair was another sign of that because it showed he was letting himself go. I think London has some funny writing with all these esoteric conversations about God and existence. They’re actually not deep and intellectual but rather rants caused by drugs. The more they do the deeper they go down the rabbit hole. The title London also hints that Evans is infatuated with Biel. All together it’s definitely a different take on the usual romance story.

Female lead characters with second rate script
Rough Night follows a long tradition of making a movie with women in the lead roles but then giving them a second class script.

KKK's plan was to become mainstream and they might have succeeded
BlacKKKlansman was based upon the real story of Ron Stallworth (John David Washington who happens to be Denzel Washington’s son) the first black detective in Colorado Springs. He decided to start his own investigation into the local chapter of the KKK and got in contact with the Grand Dragon of the Klan David Duke (Topher Grace). He would talk on the phone with the Klan members while fellow cop Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) would pose as him at the meetings. The theme of the film was that the racist ideas of the Klan were actually more mainstream than people thought and continue to this day in part because the police were not that interested in stopping them.<br /><br />The movie plays upon the buddy cop genre. Stallworth and Zimmerman create a bond. Zimmerman is Jewish for example, but he wasn’t raised Jewish, he always thought he was just white. Then when he has to pose as Stallworth and join the Klan he starts thinking about what it means to be Jewish because he’s forced into always saying anti-Semitic things around the Klansmen.<br /><br />Lee emphasizes that the Klan’s plan was to become mainstream. David Duke for instance always wore a suit and tie and pushed for joining politics and getting his issues backed by the government so that one day even the president might be a supporter of the Klan. That was obviously a reference to Trump. That’s later emphasized where Duke gives a toast using the phrase “America First” which Trump used in his election campaign. While Stallworth leads an investigation into the group the police are only so interested in its activities and eventually allow it to continue. It’s also made obvious that these ideas continue to this day as the movie ends with scenes of Charlottesville and the racist meeting there in 2017 which Duke took part in that led to the death of an anti-racist woman protester making another comparison between the past and present.<br /><br />Spike Lee does a great job capturing the times. He includes a speech by Kwame Ture formerly Stokley Carmichael (Corey Hawkins) of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee on black power where he emphasizes that black people must define themselves so that they might love themselves instead of following white norms that look down on African Americans. During his speech black faces of the crowd appear out of a black screen to highlight their beauty. There’s also a great dance scene with Stallworth and the head of the college Black Student Union Patrice (Laura Harrier) where the Cornelius Bros and Sister Rose’s “Too Late To Turn Back Now” is blaring and people start doing the Soul Train line. The music is so good that everyone starts singing along to the tune. At another time Stallworth and Patrice are talking about the latest Blaxploitation films they’d seen like Coffy starring Pam Grier.<br /><br />Amongst all this seriousness there’s some comedy as well. There’s a sequence when Stallworth is talking to Duke on the phone and he tries to explain that he can tell a black from a white on the phone just based upon how they talk. He tries to explain how the two groups pronounce their “r” differently while Stallworth and his sergeant break out laughing.<br /><br />Overall, this is a fantastic movie. Lee did a spectacular job at all different levels.

McBride gets to play a jerk whose life is coming apart & he can't handle it
Foot Fist Way is a comedy featuring Danny McBride doing what he does best which is being a jerk. Here he runs his own Tae Kwon Do school. The story is about McBride’s life coming apart and his inability to deal with it because of his flawed personality.<br /><br />The movie really has some hilarious moments. For instance, he tells two students about a combination to use during sparring. McBride brags about how effective it will be and tells a woman student to try it out. Then he tells the two students to go full throttle. The other student who is a man, grabs the woman by the head punches her in the face and then kicks her when she’s down. McBride than asks some of his students to check her pulse to see if she’s still alive. Most of it however is McBride being inconsiderate and mean to people because he’s dysfunctional himself.<br /><br />The story does get a bit meandering at time, but I just really enjoy watching McBride do his thing so I’m forgiving with The Foot Fist Way.<br />C

Man who loved speed and had to fight racism to enjoy it
Greased Lightning was loosely based upon a true story of the first African American NASCAR champion. It featured Richard Pryor in a serious drama role. It shows how he returned to Virginia after World War II and struggled to make a living. That got him into running moon shine and then into car racing. He ran into a lot of racism playing in a white sport in the South. There are a few political celebrities at the start such as Maynard Jackson the first black mayor of Atlanta and Julian Bond civil rights activist and Georgia state senator. Pam Grier is Pryor’s wife and Cleavon Little is his best friend. That provides a strong supporting cast. Pryor plays a man who just loves speed and racing. It’s a fun ride.

Superhero film aimed at teens that plays it by the numbers but is still enjoyable
Darkest Minds is a superhero film for teenagers. All the main characters are teens. They all have powers, plus there’s an attempt at a tear jerking love story. The plot takes place in a dystopian future where a disease has killed almost all the children and those that survived had superpowers.<br /><br />The government has a predictable response. It put the kids into prison camps and killed the most dangerous ones. Later they tried to turn them into weapons. That led to the main character Ruby (Amandla Stenberg) to escape and meet up with other like minded kids on the run. There’s plenty of action with the kids being chased and a big confrontation at the end. The love story is definitely aimed at teens. The film pretty much goes by the numbers and you can tell what’s going to happen many times, but it’s still enjoyable.<br />C

Engaging war drama about women spies in Nazi occupied France
It’s 1941 and Britain is still on the defensive against Nazi Germany. Prime Minister Winston Churchill agreed to organizing female spies to be sent into occupied France. That’s the basis for A Call To Spy. The story focuses upon the unlikely duo of Radhika Apte who was brought up as an Indian pacifist and Sarah Megan Thomas an American who was missing a leg. They operate in a man’s world which is especially true for Thomas when she goes to France. It also touches on anti-Semitism with Thomas and Apte’s boss Stana Katic hearing anti-Jewish comments and being denied citizenship in the UK because of her religion. Hatred of Jews wasn’t just confined to Germany during the war. There’s some real emotional moments as well. It all adds up to a very engaging war drama.

Unsuccessfully mixed a prison story with melodrama
This movie had a good premise but got too melodramatic. It was about the conflict between a controlling guard captain at a prison trying to break up a group of prisoners led by Burt Lancaster. The problem was they threw in things like a sympathetic prison doctor, one of the prisoner’s relationship with his wife and more. The worse was when Lancaster carried off a job but then stopped at his crippled girlfriend’s house to tell her he was going to fix her ailment. There was literally violins playing in the background. On the other hand the doctor gets a great monologue calling the guard captain a Caesar wanna be who lusted after power. Even better is the dramatic ending with the message that the system will always win even if it is unjust and abusive. Unfortunately Brute Force was just too uneven to make it really enjoyable.

What can black men achieve?
One Night In Miami begins with some of the limitations of fame for the four main characters. First, Mohammed Ali is knocked on his butt by a much inferior fighter. Then Sam Cooke bombs at the Copa Cabana club. Jim Brown meets with a man who praises his football accomplishments and then tells him he can’t enter his house because blacks aren’t allowed in. Finally, Malcolm X wants to leave the Nation of Islam but is afraid of the repercussions. The four come together in Miami in 1964 for Ali’s fight with Sonny Liston. That’s actually the theme of the movie what are the boundaries for black celebrities and how could they push them. Jim Brown for instance is starting his film career and they question whether he will be able to be a star or just a sacrificial black man to be the first one to be killed in every story. Likewise Malcolm attacks Same Cooke for not using his voice to advance the cause of African Americans while he retorts that he started his own record label, owns all his own music, makes his artists rich. Jim Brown added that economic freedom was what mattered and Cooke was achieving it. It’s a heated and yet loving discussion between four friends that still reverberates to today. What can black men hope to achieve in a racist America?<br />C

NFL like big corporations never want to admit that they're wrong
Concussion is the story of Dr. Bennet Omalu (Will Smith) who discovered that NFL football players were suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) due to hits on their head while playing. It caused massive changes in their personalities, brain damage and sometimes death. Dr. Omalu went up against the multi-million dollar professional football business who felt like his findings were a threat to their livelihood.<br /><br />The main message of the film was that the NFL cared about its profits more than science, medicine and its players. There’s a big scene about this that gets really preachy but it’s still a strong one.<br /><br />There’s two former football players from the Steelers who are the first cases that Omalu ran into. I think a little bit more time could have been given to their plights. I know as a parent whose son played football in high school and junior college the threat of CTE was always on my mind. My son got two concussions that we know about which freaked me out. Athletes who go onto play pro must run into this even more often and the fact that the NFL didn’t care should be no surprise. This is how huge companies act when they are accused of negligence or wrongdoing.

There's no there there
I found this movie too slow and plodding for my liking. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattison play two men trapped on an isolated lighthouse. I know some will say they loved their performances but they didn’t capture my attention. The first part of the movie is Dafoe being bossy which annoys Pattison and then the latter starts going insane. I was really hoped something would come from that but it was just short glimpses and then it would go back to the Dafoe-Pattinson dynamic. Less than half way through I couldn’t wait for it to end to put me out of my misery.

Routine story but good choreographed fight scenes
Billy Chong is a young man going up against a group of Manchus that want to kill a republican officer and re-instate the Ching Dynasty. The beginning and end of the story are good but it kind of meanders in the middle. There’s a girl of course and a dumb training sequence where Chong has to light candles while getting attacked. The fights are what you look for anyway and there’s some good choreography with fast action, lots of acrobatics and limited use of wires making them pretty dynamic. It’s the main draw from what would otherwise be a very routine Hong Kong flick.

It's a disaster of a disaster film
Hollywood has always liked a good disaster and that’s what 2012 is. It’s a disaster of a film that deals with the apocalypse. Huge solar flares have heated the Earth’s inner core and threaten life. This was based upon the myth that the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world in 2012.<br /><br />The movie starts with some scientists talking about the change in the Earth but that’s all deception. It quickly moves into big explosions, cities crashing, and John Cusack and his family trying to escape and survive. It largely ceases to be a story at that point and just tries to wow the audience with destruction. In fact it quickly gets to the ridiculous point.

Unfortunately a dud due to poor writing
I have always anticipated new Marvel releases whether that was on the big screen or the small one (Netflix). I was excited like usual when Captain Marvel came out. After watching it however I was greatly disappointed as it is by far the worst production they’ve put out during their current string of hits.<br /><br />At first it looked like this would be another great flick. The opening credits are full of images of Stan Lee who just passed away, and immediately Brie Larson playing Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel begins having visions, and doubts herself as a Kree warrior because she is unsure of who she is. This is a nod to the original Ms Marvel comics in the 1970s where Danvers didn’t know she was a Kree, and would have premonitions of future dangers.<br /><br />As the story advanced the main problem I had was that I never felt any connections nor excitement about the movie. I know there has been a huge amount of criticism about the casting of Larson as the lead but that wasn’t the issue. It was the writing. The movie just never gained any momentum even when more Easter Eggs for Marvel nerds like me appeared or when Nick Fury showed up or when the action began.<br /><br />Unfortunately in the end Captain Marvel goes down as the poorest release in the modern Marvel era surpassing some of its recent Netflix flops.<br /><br />For the big Marvel fans<br /><br />1) Danvers and Fury go to a secret base called Project Pegasus to find a scientist. In the comics Pegasus was used to experiment on alternative energy sources as well as a prison for super being. It was protected by Quasar which could point to a future character in the movies.<br /><br />2) Fury and Danvers go to her old friend Maria Rambeau's place to hide out. Rambeau's daughter is named Monica. In the comics Monica Rambeau becomes captain Marvel and is a member of the Avengers.

From guerrilla fighter to world celebritiy
Che is the first of a two part series about famed Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara who helped Fidel Castro take power in Cuba. The movie flips back and forth between the 1960s after the Cuban revolution and when it first started in the 1950s. The flashbacks allow Che to commentate on the revolution and compare where he was during and after the revolution. At first he’s a grunt hiking through the hills of southern Cuba which eventually makes him an international superstar.<br /><br />This is the irony of the story. It covers the hard struggles Che had fighting the Cuban government and being part of a revolutionary movement that was up against the odds. At the same time it shows him jet setting around New York City with all kinds of the upper class which he would usually condemn as the bourgeoise American imperialists. It couldn’t be a starker contrast from his time out in the Cuban countryside. It makes you wonder just what he was thinking when he was going to all those parties in America. Added to that is the movie is a celebration of Che as well and wants to romanticize him. That’s why he got to go to New York City originally and why his face can still be seen on t-shirts across the world. It’s saying middle class America can love a revolutionary who wanted to overthrow the entire system of capitalism they believe and benefit from.<br /><br />Enough can’t be said about Benicio del Toro in the lead. He does an impeccable job in what might be one of his greatest performances.

Local mafia boss & corrupt cop don't like to see black people being successful
Harlem Nights was an Eddie Murphy production. It was a crime-comedy set in the 1930s in Harlem New York focusing upon a group of African American gamblers and hustlers. It had an all star cast of Murphy, Richard Pryor, Arsenio Hall, Red Foxx, Jasmin Guy, Della Reese, Danny Aiello, and others. The movie focused upon Murphy as “Quick” Brown who works for Sugar Ray (Pryor) at his Club Sugar Ray. The two come into conflict with the local mafia boss Bugsy Calhoune played by Michael Lerner and a corrupt cop Officer Cantone (Aiello). Whether Quick and Sugar Ray can overcome these conflicts is the dilemma of the story. It also has a racial element as the white gangster and police don't think black people deserve to be successful and have money.<br /><br />The jokes come quick and fast. First it starts when Quick was a little kid and comes across a dice game Sugar Ray was running. The man with a dice objects to having a kid present and when he losses attempts to stick up Sugar Ray. Quick ends up shooting him, to which Sugar Ray says that guy really did have bad luck with kids. There are plenty of other funny moments.<br /><br />Overall, Harlem Nights is another fine Eddie Murphy film mixing up drama with the laughs. It plays upon the strengths of the ensemble cast giving each one of them their moment in the story to do something special or usually funny.<br />C

Supposed to be murder mystery but it's really about what a character Kevin Klein is
January Man is about an ex-cop Kevin Klein brought back to investigate a high profile murder case. Oddly enough it takes until halfway through the movie to get to the killings. The whole beginning is about Klein, how he was a fireman, how he was infatuated with his brother’s wife, how people on the police force hated him, etc. It’s anything but a crime drama. Even when it gets to the killer it’s still more about Klein more than anything else.

Another well done monster movie after Godzilla where Monarch investigates Kong
Kong Skull Island was the second in what I’ll call the Monarch monster series. First was 2014’s Godzilla where the big Japanese Kaiju was revised. That movie included Monarch which was created to track monsters like him. Kong Skull Island takes place in 1973 when Monarch sent a research team to the mysterious Skull Island to investigate whether it had any beasts. They run into Kong and a lot more than they were expecting.<br /><br />The movie builds off of what worked in Godzilla. First there’s the human team going to Skull Island made up John Goodman as Bill Randa who is the head of Monarch, Tom Hiddleston as a former British Special Air Service officer James Conrad to lead them, Corey Hawkins as Houston Brooks a scientist, Samuel L. Jackson as Lieutenant Colonel Preston Packard and his unit who will provide protection, and Brie Larson as photographer Mason Weaver who will document the trip. Packard forms a personal vendetta against Kong after their first encounter, which is shaped by his bitterness over the Vietnam War.<br /><br />Second, the introduction to Skull Island really makes it mysterious. First there is a huge storm cloud around it full of lightning. Then when the team passes through that the island looks amazing with wildlife and lots of rocky peaks.<br /><br />Next the movie has a real Apocalypse Now feel to it with the helicopters, the music, and the gunfire that Packard’s unit brings with it.<br /><br />Finally, there are plenty of monsters on the island. It turns out there is far more than Kong and they are really nasty. Plus, they show up really early in the film, instead of making the audience wait. That after all is why you go to see a movie like this and Skull Island delivers.<br />C

Didn't like it when it came out and still falls flat today
I saw this when it came out in a theater but wasn’t that impressed by it. I didn’t think it was that funny. Years later I thought I’d give it another try. It didn’t approve. The story just didn’t appeal to me. You would think Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick directed by Ben Stiller could’ve done something with this story of taking friendship too far, but no they couldn’t. I never laughed once during the film. All the humorous bits with Carrey doing his voices and over the top acting didn’t work. About the best I could do was smile at the scene with Carrey and Broderick at the Medieval Times restaurant.

The terror of the Gremlins is still a joy to watch
Gremlins became an instant hit when it came out in 1984 leading to a franchise. It was a comedy-monster film based upon an inventor Rand Peltzer (Hoyt Axton) buying a Gremlin from a shop in Chinatown owned by Mr. Wing (Keye Luke). Peltzer takes it home and gives it to his son Billy (Zach Galligan) who unwittingly gets it wet giving birth to a series of evil Gremlins. Thus the fun begins as the evil Gremlins try to take over the Peltzer house and spread general chaos in the community. It’s never mentioned in the film, but in Chinese the Gremlins are called mogwai which means devil, which was foreshadowing what would happens in the movie.<br /><br />The main characters are very pure and innocent. Rand Peltzer is a good hearted father, but a bumbling inventor, while his son Billy is a hard worker at a bank who is not appreciated by his bosses and doesn’t have the guts to ask a girl named Kate (Phoebe Cates) out. On the other hand the bad guys are exaggerated and almost charictures. Billy’s boss for instance, Gerald (Judge Reinhold) is a rich, spoiled and weasley.<br /><br />Of course it’s not the people that made Gremlins a hit but rather Gizmo the good Gremlin battling against his evil compatriots. Gizmo of course was super cute. He hummed along to Billy playing on a keyboard. He jumped at light which was bad for him, and generally looked like a kid’s best friend. The evil ones were far better. First, they look just like Gizmo, but their true nature quickly comes out. Billy for instance goes to sleep and is woken up to find his dog strung up outside on the Christmas lights. That’s just the start. They go through a metamorphosis and transform into their evil look, and then try to kill and terrorize all the humans and Gizmo. At one point they tie him up to a dart board and throw darts at him.<br /><br />After all these years Gremlins is still fun to watch. Gizmo versus his evil twins is still a joy. Another highlight is Billy’s mom versus the evil ones.<br />C

Wish there was more action and a faster pace
The Tale of Zatoichi released in 1962 would begin a 20 plus film franchise starring Shintaro Katus as the blind masseuse, gambler, and master swordsman.<br /><br />The first film introduces all the major elements that would be used in the following movies. That includes yakuza (gangsters), plenty of gambling, and usually a woman.<br /><br />In this story, Zatoichi arrives in a town to see a Yakuza boss, Sukegoro He hires Zatoichi because Sukegoro is about to get into a gang war with another boss Shigezo. Along the way Zatoichi befriends a low level henchmen of Sukegoro, Tate, who’s gotten into trouble by impregnating a woman, his sister Tane who is being harassed by her brother’s friend who is in love with her, and the ronin (masterless samura) Hirate who was hired by Shigezo. While later films would become largely formulaic, this one spends most of its time developing the characters and Zatoichi’s relationship with them. Unfortunately the pacing is very slow, and there’s little action until the very end.<br />C

I got to see Motorhead once in the 1980s. They were a blast. This performance from a festival in Glastonbury has the same feel to it.

She’s brought out of her shell by a serial killer in San Francisco being investigated by detectives played by Holly Hunter and Dermot Mulroney.<br /><br />The movie doesn’t have a good start as it opens with the attack on Weaver which seemed really contrived. It settles down when it switches to the new case with Hunter and Mulroney.<br /><br />Weaver and Hunter make a good dynamic duo working the case. Both are very smart and intuitive. Weaver also does a good job playing the vulnerable part after what happened with her. There’s a predictable confrontation and end to the story which makes me wonder if this movie was that worthwhile. Sure Weaver and Hunter do their job well but as for the actual story it was just okay.

Traumatized woman forced back into being a hero by her nemesis
I never read the Jessica Jones comics so I didn’t know what to expect from series. The first season turned out to be one of the best Marvel produced shows by Netflix.<br /><br />The first surprise was the casting. Krysten Ritter was Jones. I never saw her as a superhero, especially this tough persona. Second Carrie-Anne Moss from the Matrix was Ritter’s employer a lawyer. I’m a big fan of her work so that was a plus. Then Mike Colter shows up as Luke Cage an unexpected but welcomed addition. Finally, David Tennant was the villain Kilgrave. Loved him in Doctor Who.<br /><br />With that strong group of actors and characters I wondered if the story was going to be strong. It was. It focused upon Ritter’s trauma from being under the control of Kilgrave. Because of that she doesn’t want to be a hero but is forced into being one. She is a complicated figure far more than any Marvel character in the movies.<br /><br />Besides that the plot went in a number of unpredictable directions. There’s super sex, hurt and crying heroes, crazy neighbors, affairs, and more. These all add depth to the series.<br /><br />Most importantly Tennant is a fiendish villain. Without a good bad guy you can’t make a story like this successful and Tennant delivers. It’s great how they introduce him like a ghost to convey how Ritter is haunted by him. Then his powers are revealed in a shocking scene.<br /><br />Finally the show borrowed some elements from Film Noir with Ritter doing a voice over commentary about being stuck between a rock and a hard place and used a lot of dark lighting and use of shadows that symbolized the world Jessica Jones takes place in.

Haunted by a tragedy that broke her world apart, Jessica Jones settles herself in Hell's Kitchen, New York City, and opens her own detective agency, called Alias Investigations, with the hope of rebuilding her life and keeping the lights on in her apartment. She discovers that the source of her trauma, a mind-controlling sociopath named Kilgrave, has resurfaced, forcing her to use her gifts as a private eye to track him down before he causes more damage to her life or to anyone else..

Spielberg plays on his strengths of portraying innocence and adventure
E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial captured some of Steven Spielberg’s best qualities: adventure and innocence. That was personified through Henry Thomas as Elliott a 10 year old boy, his little sister Gertie played by Drew Barrymore and his older brother Michael portrayed by Robert MacNaughton befriending E.T., an abandoned alien in suburban America. Together Elliott frees frogs, kisses his first girl, gets chased by government agents, and flies across the sky. It’s also by far Spielberg’s most melodramatic film such as when E.T. runs into health problems. The movie still holds up as a very strong family film that plays upon dreams of friendly alien life being a possibility.

Story of redemption even though would never know it from the crazy start
Black Snake Moan has a crazy premise. Samuel L. Jackson is Lazarus and Christina Ricci as Rae. Lazarus’ is a Blues player with plenty to sing about. His woman just left him and then he finds Rae beaten up on the side of the road. She’s a nymphomaniac. Lazarus takes her in, and chains her to the heater in his house to try to cure her of her addiction. The image of a black man chaining up a white woman was thought provoking to say the least. The story is actually whether both of them can help each other find redemption.<br /><br />Jackson gets to play both his usual angry black man role and more in this film. For instance, it actually sounds like he sang for real in the film. His music is his form of self-expression.<br /><br />Ricci has more to her character as well as it explains why she ended up being obsessed with sex.<br /><br />It’s quite a surprising movie especially with the explosive way it starts.<br />C

Goes from a tale of manipulation to a melodrama in the 2nd half
The Postman Always Rings Twice is a classic Film Noir. It gets off to a great start as John Garfield plays a drifter who gets a job at a gas station/roadside cafe where he runs into Lana Turner wearing a skimpy outfit. The first time they talk there’s some quick back and forth before Garfield grabs her and kisses her. It’s a perfect set up of the Femme Fatale and her victim. Added to that is a voice over by Garfield which has been a mainstay in many Noirs. I thought the first half of the film was great but then dragged in the second half. I just didn’t think the writing was as strong. That’s because the story turns away from a manipulative scheme to a melodrama.

Nice mix of comedy and action in this Donnie Yen feature
Donnie Yen used to be the top cop in Hong Kong known for taking down the most dangerous criminals. Then he screws up a case and gets demoted, loses his fiancé and gets injured and puts on a lot of weight. He goes to Japan where he tries to redeem himself. The movie has a good mix of action and comedy. The first fight scene for instance is inside the confined space of the back of a van. Then there are some Jackie Chan influences with acrobatics and stunts used to comedic effect. There’s also limited special effects in the fights so they look realistic. There’s also some funny lines like a traffic cop telling an undercover cop “May you perish in the line of duty” because he can’t give him a parking ticket.

When the Bond franchise really started losing it
Moonraker was an attempt to make a Science Fiction James Bond movie to very mixed results. First, it continued the trend of bigger and bigger and more unrealistic plots. This time the bad guy was Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale) Who had a plan to wipe out the Earth’s population and re-start society in outer space. This was almost the same as the previous movie the Spy Who Loved Me when another rich man intended to end humanity and re-start it, but that time underwater. Moonraker also started making fun of itself such as the killer Jaws who was also introduced in the previous film falling in love. Overall, Moonraker was a sign that the Bond films were becoming a parody of itself.<br /><br />Things don’t start off so bad. In fact, they follow the usual Bond pattern. A space shuttle gets stolen. Bond is sent to investigate. He meets Drax. He meets the main Bond girl Dr. Goodhead (Lois Chiles). Drax tries to kill him. Then half way through things start going south. That begins with Jaws trying to kill Bond and Goodhead in a tram. Jaws walks out of a crash, sees a woman who smiles at him, and then he’s in love! Then Jaws does some more ridiculous things later on. Plus there's a giant space battle with shuttles and lasers, etc. If youconsider it within the history of Bond films it showed things were going off the rails.<br />c

The outcast high school girl gets the last laugh
Carrie stands as one of the classic horror films of the 1970s. It was based upon a Stephen King book and directed by Brian De Palma. The story begins as a typical tale of a teenage girl in high school who is an outcast but in the end gets the last laugh, but in a chilling way.<br /><br />Carrie’s situation is a familiar one and everyone can relate to it. The movie does a good job creating sympathy for her. It’s all the more shocking when she gets her revenge because it’s indiscriminate and one of the most dramatic climaxes in a film. It’s really a must see and makes this one of De Palma’s best movies.<br />C

Kubrick's opus on the absurdity of the Cold War
Most will probably say 2001: A Space Odyssey is Stanley Kubrick’s greatest film but I disagree. Dr. Strangelove I believe is his opus. That’s not only because it’s got hilarious moments but it captures how ridiculous and dangerous the Cold War was. The movie focuses upon General Jack Ripper (Sterling Hayden) deciding to start World War III by having his bombers attacking the Soviet Union and the U.S. government led by President Merkin Muffley (Peter Sellers) trying to stop him.<br /><br />General Ripper is laid out like a nut job talking about the Communists wanted Americans’ precious bodily fluids. He also said that putting fluoride in the water was a Communist plot. Ideas like that were actually talked about quite often by groups like the John Birch Society which was very popular amongst Republicans during the Cold War.<br /><br />After Ripper’s actions General Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott) argues that the U.S. should launch an all out first strike on the Soviets because America would have a good chance of winning. He tells the president only 10-20 million people would die in the United States as a result and he thought that was an acceptable number for victory. We now know that in the 1950s-60s the U.S. military planned for a pre-emptive strike on Moscow and even talked about it with President Kennedy.<br /><br />This is what Kubrick was able to portray so well in his film. The Cold War fostered all kinds of crazy ideas that threatened the destruction of the planet.<br /><br />With all that seriousness Kubrick was able to throw in plenty of dry humor. General Turgidson for example tackles the Soviet Ambassador and the president tells them, “You can’t fight in here this is the war room.” Another time Dr. Strangelove also played by Peters tells the president that Americans could go into mine shafts to avoid the nuclear holocaust. It would just take around 100 years before they could come out which starts General Turgidson talking about the U.S. having to secure their mine shafts first before the Russians did it. The light moments are what keep the story going with the serious subject matter.<br /><br />All together this is what makes Dr. Strangelove a classic and a great representation of the Cold War era.<br />C

Great Fukasaku flick about a small time gangster trying to carve out his niche in the Yakuza world
1972’s Street Mobster was another Yakuza (gangster) flick by Kinji Fukasaku, perhaps the best purveyor of that genre. This was released a year before his classic Battles Without Honor and Humanity series and featured Bunta Sugawara as Isamu Okita. The two would work together in several further ventures.<br /><br />Isamu describes himself as a born loser. His birthday was the day Japan lost World War II. He never knew his father and his mother abandoned him to be a prostitute. That deeply scared him and he never forgave her. He was forced to live out on the street, and that led him to form his own small gang, which in turn led him into conflict with the main Yakuza clan in the city. Isamu was not one to be intimidated however. The story revolves around whether Isamu can carve out his own niche in the gangster world.<br /><br />Fukasaku was known for his realistic style in his Yakuza films and this was no exception. Traditionally gangsters had been portrayed as almost chivalrous figures with their own code that they lived by. Fukasaku showed that they were a bunch of criminals that raped, killed, stole, and extorted people, and that’s all here in Street Mobster.<br /><br />Not only that but Street Mobster is a reminder of how different Japanese and western society and culture is. You have to see the ending and analyze it to figure that out, no spoilers here.<br /><br />Overall, Street Mobster was another fantastic film by Fukasaku and showed how he was developing his style as a film maker and especially his production of Yakuza stories.<br />C

Surprisingly funny and touching
You have no idea what to expect from this movie when it starts. Devin Brochu is a little kid. His dad Rainn Wilson seems like he’s given up on life. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a nihilistic Heavy Metal guy. Natalie Portman looks like a teenager. What does this disparate group of characters have to do with each other? The movie turns out to be a dark comedy-drama revolving around Brochu’s traumas in life. One minute Gordon-Levitt is falling out of a tree. The next Brochu is screaming and crying over his latest tragedy in life. Surprisingly funny and touching.

WAY ahead of its time warning about hacking and U.S.'s belief in surviving a nuclear war
Plenty of movies have dealt with the robot apocalypse. War Games was about the computer version of that. The United States decides to automat its nuclear response system which of course leads to a possible disaster when Matthew Broderick gets access to the computer system by accident.<br /><br />This film was WAY ahead of its time. Today hacking is common knowledge. This was in 1983 when most people didn’t even have a home computer yet.<br /><br />The movie starts off as a teen story with Broderick and Ally Sheedy and then quickly becomes real as Broderick realizes that he set off a war game. The tension steadily builds with Broderick being ignored by all the adults around him. The story ends up criticizing Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) which was the American nuclear strategy at the time that the U.S. could survive an all out nuclear war with the Soviet Union.<br /><br />The story still stands up today as an exciting warning about the possibilities of computers and Washington D.C.’s belief in nuclear war.

Bruce Willis was committing career suicide making all these garbage direct to video movies
For the last couple years Bruce Willis has been making these direct to video movies. I have no idea why. They are all exactly the same. Something goes wrong and Willis shows up with a gun to fix things. This is truly a waste of talent. I can’t even say that Willis did it for the money because this movie was made really cheaply. Almost the whole things if filmed outside so they didn’t even spend anything on sets. It really makes me question what Willis was doing to his career making so much garbage like this.

Felt like a TV special instead of a movie
I never watched any Star Trek series after the original one so this was my first exposure to Captain Picard and his crew. The story is about the Enterprise stumbling upon an attempt by a Star Fleet admiral and a group of aliens to depopulate a planet. There were some elements of pure nerdery like when Data is subdued by getting him to sing a Gilbert and Sullivan song. There were good action sequences as well like when the admiral gets his faced pulled by a skin stretching machine. Still I always felt like this was a made for TV thing and not an actual full length movie.

Kubrick's 2nd film is still too raw to be really enjoyable
Killer’s Kiss was written, produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. It was only his second film. You can tell it’s early in his career because he didn’t know about pacing yet. For instance, there’s too much time spent on little things that don’t really matter and makes the movie move slowly as a result. At the same time it does have its moments like when Chris Chase is trying to get rid of Frank Silvera and says he’s just an old man that smells bad! There are also some nice settings like at the end where there are empty streets surrounded by tall buildings in what appears to be an industrial district of New York City.<br /><br />The story feels like a Film Noir with the two main characters being down and out and trying to save each other. Still, I wasn’t satisfied. It was just too raw and unrefined.

Nicholson and DeVito get to shine with their roles
Hoffa focuses upon Jack Nicholson as Jimmy Hoffa and his lieutenant Danny DeVito reminiscing about their days in the teamsters. It begins with Hoffa leading a strike and the violence that ensued both by the Teamsters and against them. The second half is about Hoffa’s dealing with the mafia and the ensuing investigations. Hoffa’s rise and decline isn’t portrayed as a fall from grace but rather due to his blind ambitions.<br /><br />This is the kind of role that Nicholson shines in. He gets that face and tone in his voice like in A Few Good Men and rolls with it. DeVito is great as well. There’s one scene where Nicholson is meeting with a mobster boss and DeVito sees a deer in the woods, pulls out his pistol and shoots it for fun. DeVito was the director as well.

Can a man's friends screw him up so much that he can't lose his virginity?
When I saw 40 Year Old Virgin in a theater when it first came out I laughed so much I cried. Judd Aptow and Steve Carell made this packed with jokes and hilarious situations that makes this a classic to this day.<br /><br />Andy (Steve Carell) is a 40 year old man. He goes to work, and then goes home where he takes up his time with various hobbies like playing video games, painting figurines, collecting action figures, playing on line poker, etc. He’s anal retentive, a nerd, and a virgin. When his co-workers Cal (Seth Rogen), David (Paul Rudd), and Jay (Romany Malco) find out they try to get him laid. They take him to the club and try to school him on picking up drunk chicks. They go to speed dating. They try to hook him up with a prostitute, who turns out to be a transvestite. They take him to get his chest hair waxed to try to make him more attractive, which is so painful yet funny to watch. Finally, he finds a woman he’s actually interested in Trish (Catherine Keener), but his friends continue to give him bad advice about how to approach her.<br /><br />The comedy comes from not only all these ridiculous situations Andy ends up in, but in the interplay with his co-workers. Each is an interesting character with his own issues. David is hung up on his ex-girlfriend. Cal is a pothead who wants to be a writer. Jay is getting married and having a kid and yet constantly cheats on his woman. They each get repeated moments so this is really an ensemble performance.<br /><br />There were a number of supporting characters that also added to the film. Jane Lynch as Paula the manager at Andy’s work both made fun of his situation and offered to sleep with him as well. Gerry Bednob as Mooj stole every scene he was in talking mess about blacks, sex, and other topics. Leslie Mann who happens to be Aptow’s wife is a drunk Andy tries to pick up on in a club who ends up throwing up all over him.<br /><br />If you get the unrated version there are some extra scenes that got cut from the theatrical release that are great as well.<br /><br />Carell and Aptow did an amazing job writing the script for this movie making it both a comedy about sex and a romantic comedy as well about Andy and Trish. You will laugh out loud.<br />C

Tries to keep Die Hard series up to date with McClane fighting criminal hackers
Live Free Or Die Hard was the fourth in the series still featuring Bruce Willis as Detective John McClane. This time he faces off against computer hackers led by Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant) and his assistant Mai Linh (Maggie Q) that threaten to hold America’s infrastructure hostage. To stop them McClane gets his own hacker Matt Farrell (Justin Long). The movie was an attempt to keep the Die Hard series up to date. In the first three movies McClane had taken on terrorists and mercenaries. Now he was fighting criminal techies.<br /><br />The movie maintained its two mainstays in the franchise, lots of action and some comedy to keep things light. Right at the start when McClane is told to pick up Farrell he’s intercepted by some of Gabriel’s henchmen resulting in a huge gun battle inside Farrell’s apartment building. Afterward McClane and Farrell start making wisecracks about each other.<br /><br />Basically if you like any of the Die Hard films you’ll like this one.<br />C

Breaking down the middle class mores of post-WWII America but does it lead to anything?
As you can guess this is a film version of Jack Kerouac’s famous book. It features Sam Riley who is drawn to be a nomad. He can’t put down roots and constantly gest up and travels America even venturing to Mexico. The idea was that a life on the road offered adventure, a new life, and inspiration for his writing. In the process he broke down all the middle class mores of post-World War II America. He goes to Jazz clubs, he does drugs, he experiments with sex, he steals and more. You can feel the draw of constantly being on the move. At the same time it seems like the story hits a rut in the middle and doesn’t progress as Riley appears to do the same things just going to a different place. Can it last is the ultimate question which is answered in the melancholy ending.

The pictures alone from the 1970s make this documentary worthwhile
Fresh Dressed is a documentary about Hip Hop fashion that has changed the world.<br /><br />It started with some history about the importance of fashion in the black community. It then segues into South Bronx the birthplace of rap music. Things began with how decrepit and neglected the South Bronx were. It was a hell hole. There were gangs and fights constantly. Once a peace was made however the rivalries took a new form with the birth of Hip Hop. Now people were battling on the dance floor or with rhyming.<br /><br />The first definitive style was the B-Boy style. Then that started becoming regional with people dressing different in the different boroughs of New York like Brooklyn vs the Bronx vs Harlem, etc. More importantly different people talked about how important fashion was. Blacks face racism and economic disadvantages as a result. What you wear was a way to stand out. It was a way to say that people had pride despite their circumstances. It was about people’s aspirations, etc.<br /><br />Finally it goes into how Hip Hop entered into the fashion business world and the rise and fall of a lot of those brands.<br /><br />Just as important is all the pictures and footage they had. Especially way back in the 1970s. This is amazing history that was captured.<br />C

Sometimes Jarmusch's slow & deadpan style works with zombies sometimes it doesn't
Jim Jarmusch who is known for his art movies decided to do a zombie movie leading to The Dead Don’t Die.<br /><br />The first thing you need to know is that Jarmusch has a very slow and deliberate style. That leads to a lot of deadpan acting. It also seems like he even had some of his actors talk slowly like Bill Murray as Chief Robertson and Adam Driver as Officer Peterson.<br /><br />The zombies are mostly used for comedic effect. Jarmusch also had his zombies talk and think about their past lives. He shows some zombies with cell phones saying “wi-fi”.<br /><br />At certain points Jarmusch also breaks down the wall between the movie and the audience. For instance, Robertson and Peterson get stuck in their car in the cemetery surrounded by zombies. Robertson asks Peterson how he knows things are not going to end well to which Peterson says because he read the script of the film.<br /><br />Overall, The Dead Don’t Die is a very mixed bag. Sometimes Jarmusch’s style works with the zombie genre and other times it doesn’t.<br />C

Horrible writing
The third installment of Child’s Play has Chucky terrorizing a military academy. He shows up there because he wants to kill Andy for the third time. The story plays on all the stereotypes of military schools like the officers being jerks, etc. That leads to some really bad writing such as when the school’s barber finds Chucky and wants to give him a haircut. The bigger issue was why was Andy included in the plot? Could the writers think of nothing else than Chucky going after him again and again and again? The first Child’s Play was a really good horror movie. The second one was just a continuation, not original, but at least had the same mood. This one just started becoming a mockery.<br />C

Gambling brings you in Twists keep it interesting
An MIT Professor Rosa (Kevin Spacey) recruits the best and the brightest from his math classes and teaches them how to count cards and win big bucks playing Blackjack. He picks Ben (Jim Sturgess) who is desperate for money to pay for Harvard where he wants to go for medical school. There’s an added bonus for him that a girl he likes Jill (Kate Bosworth) is part of the team. Professor Rosa keeps telling Ben what they’re doing isn’t illegal, they’re just counting cards. When they go to Las Vegas however Ben finds out they are going to use fake identities and act like they don’t know each other. That’s an early warning that the house doesn’t appreciate card counters. There’s also the threat of greed destroying the team. Those are the issues that Ben faces amongst all the money and success he thinks he’s getting into.<br /><br />The film is told from Ben’s perspective. The first half takes the viewer through his anxiety over getting into Harvard and then the excitement of him gambling in Las Vegas and taking home thousands of dollars. It seems like a classic rise and fall story with Ben simply having fallen in with the wrong company. Then there’s a double twist at the end however. Basically the gambling brings you in and then the twists keep things interesting.<br />C

Attempt to expand the series but came at expense of the action
Part 1 of Season 4 is about political intrigue and rivalries across Scandinavia, England and France. That leads to a bit of a disappointing start as there are no big fight scenes just plotting, backstabbing and a lot of sex. Halfway through however the battle returns as the Vikings sail on Paris once again.<br /><br />I think this was an attempt by the writers to expand the series. It was only half successful however. I would’ve liked more action at the start. Still it was far better than most things that were on TV at the time.

Could a group of supervillains find redemption by fighting a greater evil?
The DC movies have largely been an unmitigated disaster with bad scripts and bad direction. Ironically, some of the films that got the worse reviews were actually the better ones. Suicide Squad was a perfect example. The theme of the film was about whether supervillains could find redemption by facing a greater evil.<br /><br />Suicide Squad had a large ensemble cast. That’s because it was a team put together by a government official named Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) out of some of the worse criminals in custody. That included Deadshot (Will Smith) an assassin. Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) the crazed lover of the Joker (Jared Leto). Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) a thief. El Diablo (Jay Hernandez) a former gang member who can generate flames around his body, and Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) who was a humanoid reptilian. To control these group of malcontents was Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) and Katana (Karen Fukuhara). They are put together to face off against Flag’s girlfriend who became a witch named the Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) who threatened the world.The dilemma of course was could they all play together and take care of the Enchantress or would everything fall apart? There’s the added irony that Waller was a master manipulator, was cold blooded and believed in the ends justified the means. That posed an added question of what was the difference between her and the bad guys she was trying to control?<br /><br />The interesting characters is one of the engaging elements of the film. Will Smith has some great lines too such as when he tells Waller he wants the government to pay for his daughter to go to an Ivy League college and if she can’t cut it they need to “white people it” so she can pass. Davis as mentioned above is great playing a ruthless bureaucrat. Robbie also stands out as Harley Quinn.<br /><br />There’s also plenty of good music that goes along with each of their appearances. The action is well made along with the effects. All together it was a great mix making this thoroughly entertaining.<br />C

Totally different tone & lack of intensity compared to Silence of the Lambs
Hannibal was Ridley Scott’s version of the book of the same name and the sequel to the game changing thriller The Silence of the Lambs. This time Julianne Moore played the role of FBI Agent Clarice Starling, while Anthony Hopkins returned as Hannibal Lecter. It was a big disappointment compared to the original.<br /><br />The first thing you notice is that Hannibal had a much different tone to it than Silence of the Lambs. First there’s Mason Verger who was a victim of Hannibal Lecter. He has a disfigured face due to his run in with Lecter and acts very creepy. He wants revenge upon Lecter. Then the violence is much more graphic such as a video tape of Lecter biting the face of a nurse. Finally, the movie is mostly cat and mouse as Starling is in the U.S. looking for clues about Lecter while the doctor is in hiding in Italy being chased by a police inspector.<br /><br />All together that makes Hannibal a total departure from Silence of the Lambs, and not half as good. There is none of the intensity of the original.<br />C

One of Tom Hanks most memorable roles as he had to carry story all by himself
Cast Away was Tom Hanks harrowing tale of survival. He was stranded on a small island in the pacific. There he had to find the basics like food, shelter and water. There were dramatic moments like when he cut his thigh on coral reef to when he finally produced fire. He also had moments where he totally broke down into tears. It’s also crazy to see Hanks later on with a huge beard and long hair. It’s like the hippy version of Hanks. He never gave up which was the theme of the story. It’s definitely one of Hanks most memorable roles especially because he had to carry almost the entire story by himself.<br /><br />I have to say the last quarter of the movie is a bit of a disappointment as it really drags things out.<br />C

Broadway musical about the Elvis phenomenon
This musical use to be on TV all the time when I was a kid so I wanted to check it out again to see if it was still any good. The movie is about an Elvis type character named Birdie coming to a small town where Anne Margaret lives. Like any Broadway show there’s songs and dancing. Two songs that always stood out are Bye Bye Birdie and Put On A Happy Face that lived on in commercials after the movie.<br /><br />It's nostalgic to watch but I doubt many people who were not from that era or who didn’t like show tunes would like it.

Jackass is back with their cringe worthy routines
I was really unsure about this film. First the original Jackass movies were really up and down and I only liked one of them. Second the start of the movie during the credits was all recreations of skits they’d done before. Despite those trepidations I was proven wrong. The Jackass crew returned with their cringeworthy tricks and routines. When I say cringe I mean CRINGE like having scorpions sting people in the lips or provoking a snake to bite a guy in the face. There’s even worse than that. Basically if you liked the original Jackass then this is for you. If you didn’t stay away.

What this movie reminds me of was how bad the original Bill and Ted was.

What if the villain wasn't such a bad person who just wanted some love?
Megamind was a reversal of the traditional superhero film. It focused upon the villain Megamind (Will Ferrell) instead of the hero. Megamind grew up the school reject, he always felt alone, and wanted to find love. The movie posed the question that if given the chance maybe the villain wasn’t a bad person after all.<br /><br />The story plays with the usual superhero genre. It begins with many of the familiar tropes like Megamind hatching a very elaborate plan only to be defeated at the last moment. Then it changes things up when Megamind actually wins and then a hero emerges that turns out to be a selfish jerk. That’s what makes the money stand out and it also leads to plenty of funny moments as well.<br />C

52 Pick Up is about infidelity, blackmail and its consequences. John Glover is the bad guy and plays it perfectly with the voice, delivery and a real cold bloodedness about him. I was surprised to see Vanity as part of the cast and she get some serious screen time. Ann-Marget had her talents were wasted. She mostly looked distraught and didn’t have a serious role. I thought the movie created a good amount of tension to keep things going and Roy Scheider who was the victim in the movie proved to be pretty smart in how he handled things.

Smart unassuming film that will keep surprising you
Mark Rylance plays a quiet, unassuming tailor who lets some gangsters use his shop. Listen carefully to his commentary. He talks about how he’s able to size up a man as soon as he walks in. That’s a hint at his intelligence and he’s going to need it with a bunch of mobsters all over his place. That’s what the story is about how he deals with bad men. It’s a great performance and there’s a perfect scene of his role when he meets another gangster played by Nikki Amuka-Bird. She says the tailor always stays silent and observes but no one ever questions what’s going on in his mind. She also has some insightful comments about immigrants in America. This is a very smart and unassuming film that keeps surprising you.

Made the Kid N Play dance famous
House Party is a classic Hip Hop film and part of the second generation in the genre. It features Kid and Play being high school kids having to deal with bullies (Full Force), parents (Robin Harris), friends (Martin Lawrence), and girls (Tisha Campbell and A.J. Johnson).

Finding life as a hapless government bureaucrat
Ikiru means to live which is the theme of this movie as Takashi Shimurai finds out he has terminal cancer and decides to try to live his best life until his time is up. As the introduction says he is only passing time and not living his life. He’s not even really alive.<br /><br />The reason is because he is a lifeless city bureaucrat. In the opening it shows his job is to skim through reports and put a stamp on them. Director Akira Kurosawa was trying to say that this type of job drains the life out of people and doesn’t serve the public either. It’s one of the major themes of Ikiru.<br /><br />His quest for life plays out in all kinds of interesting and unexpected ways. One time he starts singing a song at a roaring nightclub about death and freezes the entire crowd. Another time he goes out with a young female co-worker and falls asleep at a movie. The idea of just living your life seems like such an easy concept but Kurosawa shows how challenging it can be especially for an older man like Shimurai.

Didn't care about the story or the main character
I used to watch the Speed Racer cartoon when I was a kid but I wasn’t sure whether that would make a successful movie. They tried to capture the feel of the original anime but making the entire movie using computer graphics. The cars, the backgrounds, etc. are all computer generated. The way the shots were framed was also heavily influenced by comic books. Finally the story used a lot of elements from the cartoon.<br /><br />So Speed Racer had a unique look. It had a familiar cast of characters. The problem was the story wasn’t that interesting. Speed Racer and Racer X are used as agents to break up corporate crime while doing some car races. Since all the races were done on computer I didn’t feel any kind of tension or excitement about them. It was just like watching a video game. I didn’t real care about the Speed Racer character either. The movie just failed to bring me into its world.

Better than others in the women in prison genre
Pam Grier started her career playing in a bunch of women in prison exploitation films that were made in the Philippines. There was the Big Doll House, Women In Cages, The Big Bird Cage and Black Mama White Mama which was directed by Eddie Romero. Here she was a prostitute paired with Margaret Markov who was a revolutionary. This one like those others have sadistic and lesbian guards and the mandatory nude scenes. What was different was that most of Black Mama White Mama is about Grier and Markov on the run in the jungle. There was also plenty of action as Markov’s revolutionary friends shot it out with the government. This is what made it a lot better from others in the genre which just went through the crazy routine of being inside a jail.

An album that is part of Rock History
Night At The Opera will go down in Rock history because it contains Bohemian Rhapsody. There are some other good songs on there as well. Like other episodes in this series it interviews the band members, goes through the group’s history and tries to breakdown the creative process of how the songs were put together. The last is done just through interviews however because they didn’t go through the tapes like they usually do. If you’re a Queen fan you should check this out.

A number of jewel robberies amongst the tourists has the police thinking that Robie is back at his old game. His friends who he fought with in the French Resistance during World War II resent that he has brought the police back into their lives. Robie has to prove that he’s innocent by catching the thief. That means To Catch A Thief is both a heist film and a who done it.<br /><br />The movie is romp right from the start. For instance, the police show up at Robie’s house and he fakes a suicide attempt and then has his maid drive off in a car to lead the authorities astray as he takes a bus into town. Sitting next to him on the ride is a cameo by Hitchcock.<br /><br />Grant is suave and dashing. Even his poses when he’s talking to his friends are dramatic. The same goes for Kelly. She demands attention every time she’s in a shot. The most striking example is when she and Grant go for swim and she comes out in this black and white outfit that’s a stunner.<br />C

High quality suspense stories from this 1970s ABC TV movie
Trilogy of Terror as the title would suggest is three separate horror tales. I originally saw this as a kid when it aired on TV in 1975 on ABC, and it scared the hell out of me. All three stories feature Kare Black as the lead, and each one was written by Richard Matheson.<br /><br />The first story is called Julie and is about a college student who wants to seduce his English professor but his plans don’t quite go the way he planned. The second story is Millicent and Therese, which is about a woman with a split personality that are two sisters that hate each other so much that one plots the death of the other. The last one is called Amelia where a woman buys a doll for her boyfriend that comes alive and tries to kill her.<br /><br />All three stories are high quality suspense. Besides the Millicent and Therese story you can’t tell what’s going to happen and there are twists thrown in as well. Overall the movie proved to be as good as I remember it from my childhood.<br />C

Threats of fictional horror mixed with real threats blacks faced from racism
Them takes place in the 1950s during the Second Great Migration as blacks left the South for California based upon the promises of jobs, a new life and an escape from extreme segregation. The series follows the Emory family that moved to Compton, which at the time was drawing in middle class black families. The series mixes the real racism African Americans faced with the horror of fiction and the movies.<br /><br />The first episode sets a good mood with Deborah Ayorinde, Mrs. Emory’s visions. During the trip she has a dream of a white lady wanting to take her baby. Then when she actually shows up at their new home in Compton the local white ladies are all staring at them like they’re aliens. She then reads the housing agreement which had a covenant reserving it for whites only, a common practice across suburbs in post-war America meant to maintain de facto segregation. The episode takes off from there with the dual threats of Ayorinde’s imagination and her reality.<br /><br />It's got some great split shots featuring the mom and dad usually to show the divisions going on along with a strong soundtrack of oldies, mostly 60-s70s Soul tunes. It’s a very good start and hopefully will lead to a fulfilling series overall.

NOT half as good as the original
Jerry (Colin Farrell) the vampire moves into a suburban development in Las Vegas and ruins everything. He has a predilection for teenagers as shown by several students missing from Charley’s (Anton Yelchin) high school class. After one of his old friends disappears Charley decides to believe him that Jerry is a vampire and goes to magician Peter Vincent (David Tennant) for help, but he turns out to be a bit of a disappointment. This is a loose remake of the 1985 Fright Night but isn’t as good.<br /><br />Farrell plays his role well. He’s part charming and part sinister as any good vampire should be. The film also builds up tension such as when Charley sneaks into Jerry’s house, but all the while Jerry knows he’s there.<br /><br />On the other hand there are major writing flaws. For instance Charley has footage of Jerry not appearing on film but doesn’t show it to anyone to convince them that Jerry is a vampire. Jerry also kills several teens as if that wouldn’t cause a panic in the community when they don’t show up at home and their parents complain about their missing children.<br /><br />Overall that meant this movie was only half as good as the original. You can still enjoy it, but the problems stick out.<br />C

Not what you expect when you hear the movie is about 2 hitmen
In Bruges is an unlikely story about two Irish hitmen Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson). Their boss Harry Waters (Ralph Fiennes) sends them to Bruges, Belgium to lay low after they screw up a job. The movie starts off as an odd couple, buddy film, and ends with the consequences of their sins as contract killers.<br /><br />The characters are the first thing that stands out about In Bruges. Ray is immature and impulsive. When Ken wants to see all the medieval religious sites that Bruges is known for Ray gets bored, complains, kicks chairs, and wants to go. He’d rather do drugs, party and have sex. Ken is like the older brother who tries to enlighten his little brother Ray about the better things in life even if he resents it.<br /><br />The theme is about the life of killers and is just as interesting. It also leads to a big action conclusion.<br /><br />In between all that there’s some comedy thrown in as well. There’s a dwarf for instance that Ray is infatuated with which leads to some really funny moments.<br /><br />Overall In Bruges is definitely a bit different from what you would think when you hear it’s about two contract killers.<br />C

Statham goes from the hunted to the hunter
Jason Statham is a criminal who gets double crossed and then seeks revenge in this crime flick. Along the way he runs into Jennifer Lopez who is a real estate agent in Florida that ends up helping him out. The movie comes in two parts. The first is Parker being chased by the people that tried to get rid of him and then the second is him going on the hunt against those same crooks. That leads to some gunplay, some theft, new identities and of course the big confrontation at the end. There’s actually not as much action as you would expect from a Statham film. That’s good because I don’t need to see him being the Transporter in every film.

How can you have a music doc without the music?!?!? It's all talking heads
Nelson George is one of the most prolific writers about black music in America. He directed this documentary that explores Funk Music. The movie has some important people the most seminal was James Brown along with Bootsy Collins, Sly Stone, George Clinton and others. They talk about the history of the music, important musicians, etc. The problem is that the film is all talk.<br /><br />Finding the Funk is almost all talking heads. I don’t care how many interesting interviews you have, if you are making a movie, especially one about music, how can you not have lots of music?!?!?!?!

Such a bad start and horrible writing can't save this movie
Black Rain is a cop drama about two New York City police officers Nick (Michael Douglas) and Charlie (Andy Garcia) fighting the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia. The story immediately runs into problems. First, Douglas plays a tough guy cop. He rides a motorcycle, he’s screwing up with his family. It’s completely unbelievable. Worse is when Nick and Charlie first run into the Yakuza in a bar. A Japanese man stabs an Italian mafia and the two police wait until the Yakuza runs out of the place to do anything. Yes, the police let a murder happen before they intervene. It just gets worse from there as Nick and Charlie take their investigation to Japan where they are not police and don’t speak the language, etc. What a horrible piece of writing this movie is.<br /><br />The movie actually recovers a bit halfway through but it has such a bad start and premise it’s still a throw away story.<br />C

Strong writing Lots of jokes and a good dose of Minions
I remember taking my son to the first Despicable Me and just expecting it to be a routine animated feature. Boy was I wrong. It was not only hilarious and became a franchise it even had a spinoff with the Minions which I really enjoyed as well.

Mixes ninjas with the end of the warring period in Japan
Shinobi No Mono (The Ninjsa) was a series of ninja films made in the 1960s starring Raizo Ichikawa as Goemon Ishikawa. The movies are intertwined with the end of the Warring Period when Japan was divided between rival lords who all wanted to become the next Shogun. The major lords and battles are included in the series. Into this mix come the ninja who were usually employed by the lords against each other. All of the movies play out like one long movie with the next one taking off right where the last one ended. This box set contains four movies.<br /><br />The films are all good. The first on for instance features Oda Nobunaga who the ninjas want to get rid of and then the last ones deal with Toyatomi Hideyoshi and Ieyasu Tokugawa. Each one features tons of ninja techniques and fighting scenes. There’s poisons, wall climbing, smoke bombs and more. You also have intrigue and manipulation. There is some love stories thrown in which get a little overblown.<br /><br />Overall, the collection is a great mix of ninja techniques, swordplay, espionage, politics and Japanese history.

Wastes a great cast on an uninteresting story about a mad scientist
Basil Rathbone, Lone Chaney, John Carradine, and Bela Lugosi all star in The Black Sleep which is what drew me to watch it. They don’t use their talents however. Rathbone is good as the crazy scientist, but the rest only get bit parts. They also don’t do enough with Rathbone’s experiments. There’s only one good part when his patients are discovered in a dungeon. That made The Black Sleep a disappointment.

Expected better from Jodie Foster who turns into vigilante in this film
Jodie Foster stars in this movie so I was expecting more. Instead it turned into a variation of the vigilante plot. Foster runs into one bad guy after another and guns them down. Charles Bronson would’ve been proud. It actually gets worse as it progresses it’s so cliché. The only thing The Brave One tries to add is emotional content by making Foster a deeply hurt character which was the justification for what she did.

Bee finds out the importance of bees to the world
The Bee Movie is a nice animated feature mixing jokes with an environmental message about the importance of bees to not only plants but humans. It stars Jerry Seinfeld as a rebellious bee who didn’t want to be a worker bee for his entire life. Instead he goes out into the world and interacts with humans which is forbidden. This leads to the comedy and an unexpected legal battle with unintended consequences. That’s also where the messaging comes in where the movie explains why bees are important for pollination that keeps plant life going. Seinfeld is good in his character and does his usual mix of complaining and goofing around. Of course this is a cartoon so there are plenty of celebrity guest appearances as well.

Short doc on the Miami Pop Festival and Jimi Hendrix playing
This is a short movie about the Miami Pop Festival which was put on by a 20 year old Head Shop owner. It’s about half interviews and half concert footage of Jimi Hendrix. There’s only about 3 songs by him. He was supposed to play two shows but the second day got rained out.

Known for car chase but really marked turn towards more realistic-gritty crime dramas
Bullitt is best known for its car chase which is generally regarded one of the great in film. More importantly it marked a shift in Hollywood towards more gritty and realistic police-crime dramas. The film featured Steve McQueen as San Francisco detective Lieutenant Frank Bullitt. The story starts off about the mafia but then it gets into political interference into the case. The dilemma in the film is alt. Bull it attempting to figure out what the mob is doing while dealing with the overly zealous Senator Chalmers (Robert Vaughn) who’s thinking about his career.<br /><br />The opening credits are a great piece of art. It starts with a shot of the Chicago skyline at night as the names of the actors and crew move across the screen. Then it has shots of men in black and white with their faces highlighted who commit a break-in and attempt to kill a man while a slick Jazz piece by Lalo Schifrin plays. It’s really an amazing production.<br /><br />The car chase obviously gets all the attention and for good reason. It goes all across San Francisco and gets more intense as it progresses.<br /><br />Finally this is one of McQueen’s famous roles. He plays it cool and with a lot of style. The funny part is he’s a total bachelor going to the corner store to buy frozen dinners for meals. Again this was part of the new cinema on police where they were shown as more like real people rather than saints or tough guys.<br /><br />All together that makes for a very good cop flick that shows a lot of 60s swag.

The movie warns don't drink the water but the story wasn't interesting enough to care
Color Out of Space was based upon a story by H.P. Lovecraft, the celebrated American horror-science fiction writer. The story revolves around a family that live out in the woods who happen to have a meteor crash into their backyard. It infects the water and completely distorts reality for everyone involved. The movie is very mixed and will likely have people love it and hate it as well.<br /><br />Here’s the good. The story is very original. There are mixes of great visuals and horror mixed in together. Nicolas Cage who plays the father Nathan gets to play crazy and does a great job, and the daughter Lavinia played by Madeleine Arthur is a standout as well.<br /><br />The problem for me was that I never felt a connection to the film. Even when things started getting weird, which I usually like it just didn’t get me interested enough to care. The only redeeming quality was to watch Cage go nuts which is always fun, otherwise the movie did very little for me.

Surprise hit focusing upon college acapella and taking chances
Pitch Perfect seemingly came out of nowhere and became such a hit that it led to two sequels. The film was a musical comedy focused upon the unlikely topic of acapella. Right at the start it set the tone with the reigning champs the Barden University Treblemakers laying down a great track with commentators Gail (Elizabeth Banks) and John (John Michael Higgins) making sarcastic and snide comments. Then the female group the Barden Bellas come out dressed like stewardesses and Aubrey (Anna Camp) while signing her solo vomits all over the stage. Those would be the elements that would make this story so successful, you had some great music by the acapella groups, a lot of comedy and satire as well.<br /><br />Besides the singing the movie would take full advantage of the ensemble cast. The standout would be Fat Amy played by Rebel Wilson who would make self-deprecating comments while also being a boss.<br /><br />Overall it was a fun movie with plenty of great music as well. It deserved all the attention it got.<br />C

Great gangster film with women taking the lead
The Kitchen is a crime movie with a twist. Instead of being about a bunch of gangsters it’s about how their wives took over after their husbands were arrested.<br /><br />Things take place in Hell’s Kitchen which is in western Manhattan in the 1970s. The movie begins with three criminals being thrown in jail. Their wives Ruby (Tiffany Haddish), Kathy (Mellissa McCarthy) and Claire (Elisabeth Moss) are left to fend for themselves. They figure out that the mob is really about protecting people. That’s why businesess pay extortion money. The three wives start going business to business offering to help people in return for cash, and away they go.<br /><br />The movie has several themes. One is women’s empowerment with the wives taking over. That plays into the feminist movement that was happening at the time. That of course leads to a battle of the sexes as the mobsters and especially the husbands resist and resent the women taking the lead. Third is the usual gangster tale of backstabbing and betrayal. The end result is a thoroughly enjoyable crime story.<br />C

Was too contrived
At first I thought Orphan: First Kill was just going to be a remake of the first movie with Isabelle Fuhrman worming herself into a new family. Instead she ends up getting trapped by her new situation in a very interesting twist. Now the questions was whether I was going to buy into it because it was a bit contrived. That turned out to be the downfall of the movie. It became too unbelievable.

Twists turns betrayal and backstabbing make this a superior heist film
Gene Hackman leads a heist crew who screw up on their last job. Hackman wants out of the game but he’s forced into one more robbery by his financier played by Danny DeVito. That leads to a story of intrigue, back stabbing and betrayal in this interesting crime-drama.<br /><br />The script was very good by writer and director David Mamet. There are some great one liners in the film. The twists and turns of the plot along with the planning and execution of the robberies are the main draw. The ensemble cast of Delroy Lindo, Rebecca Pidgeon, Ricky Jay and Sam Rockwell all make great performances. Overall that makes this a superior heist film.

The story is about how those events are remembered and interpreted.<br /><br />At the start of the film Eve sees her father Dr. Batiste cheating with a woman at a party. Eve’s older sister Cisely (Meagen Good) tells her she misinterpreted what she saw. This turns out to be the theme of the film. How the family thinks about their dad and his actions are seen and remembered in different ways and lead to various reactions. Some don’t like him but accept him. Some love him despite his faults. Some get angry and think he should pay. Eve has to decide how she will see her father.<br /><br />The movie is set in Louisiana and plays on the Creole tradition there. There’s a smattering of French in their conversations for instance, spiritualists and voodoo. It presents a slice of African American life away from the usual urban setting.<br />C
