Completely original and disturbing look at a dystopian future based around violence

A Clockwork Orange was Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of a book of the same name. It’s one of the great and disturbing dystopian tales put to film. It focuses upon violence and how society’s attempt to control it leads to abuses.<br /><br />The movie centers around Alex (Malcolm McDowell) who is the leader of a small gang. They partake in Ultra-violence which are random acts of beatings, theft and rape. The start of the film documents that with a beating of a drunk, a gang fight, and a home invasion and rape.<br /><br />Once the violence in society was established the second part of the story covers how the authorities dealt with it. Alex is imprisoned and goes through a radical re-education process meant to rid him of his anti-social tendencies. He’s basically brainwashed to get a sick and revolting feeling anytime he thinks about violence or sex. This is a critique of the government that wants to control society and will go to extreme measures to do so. There’s also hints that it wants to use these same techniques against dissenters as the Interior Minister (Anthony Sharp) talks about needing prisons for political prisoners and a critic of the government being imprisoned at the end. There’s also commentary about how society in general is violent, which is shown in several subsequent scenes.<br /><br />There are plenty of dystopian stories but A Clockwork Orange stands out above all of them with its unique vision about violence and governance.<br />C

Henson & Rockwell lead the cast but it's really organizer Ceesay that brings it all together

Best of Enemies was based upon a true story. It takes place in Durham, North Carolina in 1971. The two main characters are Taraji P. Henson as Ann Atwater and Sam Rockwell as C.P. Ellis. Atwater is a community activist trying to help out the African Americans of the city. Ellis is the head of the local chapter of the KKK. The two come to loggerheads over the schools which was a major flashpoint in the struggle to integrate America. The movie is about how two opposites on the racial divide could overcome their differences and help the city of Durham.<br /><br />The story has an important, but mostly overlooked part of the struggle for racial equality. Ellis welcomes a new member into the KKK’s youth corps and tells him that whites are an endangered species. Of course, whites were the majority in America and North Carolina, but the feeling amongst racists was that they were under siege and the victims even though they held all the power. That’s shown by the fact that the KKK is aligned with members of the city council. It shows that the idea that they would have to treat people as equals was a total shock to their entire identity and belief that America was for whites and whites alone.<br /><br />The main part of the movie is about the community meetings organized by Bill Riddick (Babou Ceesay) to try to come to a resolution about integrating the schools. The first one is just Ellis, Atwater and Riddick. Ellis is cajoled into attending because the white power structure wants him to represent whites rather than anyone else. The idea was that he would block any integration plans that were conceived.<br /><br />You would expect Atwater and Ellis to dominate the story, but it’s really the work of Riddick that was so crucial to the plot. Rather than having integration coming from a court or a government official it was the community meetings that Riddick organized that made the change.<br /><br />The movie is very well done and has a touching ending.

Last time Christopher Lee would play Dracula for Hammer

This was the last time Christopher Lee would play Dracula for Hammer Films. I really like these latter Hammer releases because they did a lot more than the earlier ones. This one starts off with a Satanic cult with an Asian witch presiding, which was an unexpected twist. That set the mood which Hammer was always good at. It plays upon the connection between vampires and sex, the apocalypse as well as a secret agent element. On the other hand the evil henchmen all wear fury vests. There’s nothing scarier than a guy with fur on!

Great doc on how a 1of a kind art foundation had its edict and purpose destroyed

The Barnes Foundation was one of the largest art collections in the world. This documentary is about what happened to the Foundation after Albert Barnes died and all the political battles over what to do with it.<br /><br />It starts off by championing Barnes’ taste and vision. He was buying artists like Matisse and Picasso before they were recognized as masters. He was also an iconoclast amongst the rich. He wanted to use his collection to educate people and looked down upon the other aristocrats saying they were elitists who only used the arts to claim they were sophisticated.<br /><br />The political aspect occurred when Barnes died in 1951 and all these different individuals and institutions went after the Barnes Foundation to take control of the collection. It’s a crazy story because Barnes wanted to maintain his art just as he created it and all these people were like vultures wanting to take his paintings because of the status and the money they could make off of it. One of the great twists in the story was that the collection ended up under the stewardship of Lincoln University a historical black college. Of course the title of the film gives you a hint of what eventually happened to the collection.<br />C

Pretty good for a traditional documentary full of talking heads

I’ve heard about this for years. After Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated James Brown agreed to play on live TV to try to calm Boston so it didn’t break out into riots like was happening in many cities across America. This is a documentary about what happened.<br /><br />Unfortunately it is very traditional with talking head after talking head mixed in with old footage. Because of that you can guess where the story will go. It starts with some background on James Brown and the black neighborhood in Boston Roxbury and then goes from there. Out of the talking heads Dr. Cornel West was by far the best with his insights.<br /><br />One of the interesting things that was brought up was the differences between Brown and King. Brown for instance did not believe in non-violence or criticizing the Vietnam War.<br /><br />There was also plenty of James Brown’s music thank god especially of the concert in Boston.

One of the best crime dramas ever as two moles hunt each other down

Infernal Affairs is a Hong Kong classic crime drama. It features Eric Tsang as a crime lord who placed one of his men played by Andy Lau to be a spy within the police force. His counter is Tony Leung who is a cop who’s placed undercover within Tsang’s gang. The great twist in the story is that the two are hunting each other.<br /><br />Leung is great in his role. He is sick of his job as he’s been working his role for 10 years and feels like he’ll never get out. You can see the toll it’s taken on his face.<br /><br />The story is very well written with a lot of tense moments and only gets more so as the movie progresses. The ending is great. This is really one of the best films in the genre.

A rock fantasy for a teen music writer who comes to realize he's still an outsider

Almost Famous is about Rock n Roll dreams coming true. Teenage writer William Miller (Patrick Fugit) goes on tour across America with a band called Stillwater and gets to see and live the Rock lifestyle while attempting to achieve his other dream to get a cover story for Rolling Stone magazine.<br /><br />The story obviously centers around William’s adventure. That begins with his mother that told him at 11 to explore the world and find out what he wanted to do. His sister Anita (Zooey Deschanel) rebelled against their mom (Frances McDormand) by introducing him to Rock which was banned in the house. Listening to the forbidden fruit created a lifelong love of music. His writing career then takes off when he meets the editor of Creem Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who offers him a job on one hand and on the other warns him about what will happen to him in the Rock N Roll industry. That leads him to meet the band Stillwater and then getting contacted by Rolling Stone and his trip begins.<br /><br />The movies captures all the stereotypes and fantasies people have about Rock in the 1970s. There’s the mundane of riding on a bus to a drug induced dive off a roof into a swimming pool.<br /><br />What’s totally unexpected is Frances McDormand almost stealing the show. She starts off telling William not to do drugs, but then she starts spitting philosophy at band members. In a close second Philip Seymour Hoffman who constantly tells William about the trials and tribulations of Rock and how it’s being corporatized and destroyed by big business and how art needs to survive.<br /><br />Fugit also does an excellent job. His character gets to tour with a band and become their friends but in the end he knows he’s still on the outside looking in.<br /><br />Almost Famous is a thoroughly enjoyable movie and a complete fantasy about Rock as shown by all the stereotypes coming true.<br />C

2 vice cops get way in over their head

Busting is a buddy cop film featuring Elliott Gould and Robert Blake as vice police who get way in over their head. I like how they built up the story with Gould and Blake busting your average run of the mill hookers and next thing you know they’re both beat up and their lives are threatened because they stepped on someone’s toes. The film is also made realistic and gritty, which came into its own in 1970s Hollywood. The ending as well is very 70s. They just don’t make movies like this anymore.

What a way for John Wayne to go out

The Shootist was John Wayne’s last major role and had a fitting storyline which was about a fading gunfighter who was terminally ill. He has to deal with his legacy, expectations, those that want to exploit him and more. I felt like something was missing from the story but then when it ended it seemed to bring everything to together. Wayne really couldn’t have scripted a better ending to his long and stories career.

Someone could've saved money and our time not funding this movie

I waited for something, anything to happen in this movie. It never came. Four soldiers, one from the opposing side during the English Civil War flee the battlefield and find themselves in the company of a magician seeking treasure in a field. The elements of the story just don’t go together nor make a compelling plot. One moment the soldiers are pulling on a rope and then the magician is revealed. Another time they’re drugged up and given shovels and start walking. It is a plain boring and incoherent movie. Someone could have saved themselves a lot of money by not funding this project and we would have all been better off.

A comedy and love story with Grant & Hepburn in the middle of a mystery tale

A French train goes by and a dead body is thrown out. That’s the start of Charade which featured Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. The story is part comedy part murder mystery part romance set in Paris.<br /><br />The dead body turns out to be the Hepburn’s husband. Before he died he sold off all their possessions without telling her as she was on vacation. That’s the mystery part as it turns out the husband was not who the wife thought. The comedy comes from the repartee between Grant and Hepburn, and that leads to the romance as well.<br /><br />Hepburn and Grant really turn on the charm. The mystery is really the heart of the plot however. Every few scenes Grant reveals he’s got another name while Hepburn finds out more and more details about what her husband was up to and how Grant is involved. It all adds up to a great mix.<br />C

Why did they decide to make another Grudge film esp because so much is derivative?

The Grudge was a take-off of the American movie which was a re-make of the Japanese original Ju-On. Why they decided a third try at the story was necessary is unknown especially because the first U.S. version was turned into a franchise. Sam Raimi was a producer so I thought I’d give it a try. The movie is a derivative of the original with a family killed in a house and their ghosts haunting it, but this time it’s in America not Japan.<br /><br />Like the original the story revolves around the people that were involved with the haunted house. The first are the Spencers played by John Cho and Betty Gilpin who are real estate agents involved in the sale of the house. Their experiences are based upon previous Grudge films such as when Mr. Spencer has fingers appear out of the back of his head while he’s taking a shower and one of the ghosts shows up in the middle of the night on his bed. Then there’s the detectives Muldoon (Andrea Riseborough) and Goodman (Demian Bichir). The latter finds a new body in the home and then Goodman gets her faced dunked in a sink full of water in her house. Then there were the Mathesons played by Lin Shaye and Frankie Falson and Lorna Moody (Jacki Weaver) who was going to help with the wife’s assisted suicide. Moody gets a visit from the dead daughter from the house. There are many more.<br /><br />In the end it’s not a bad horror flick. It’s just that much of it has been seen before. Yes there are some new things thrown in and perhaps a new audience might catch this version and be entertained, but again there was a whole series of Grudge movies already so a re-boot seemed really unnecessary.<br />C

No honor amongst thieves

Arkansas is a really good crime drama about OG drug dealers (John Malkovich, Vince Vaughn, and Michael Kenneth Williams) and the new school (Liam Hemsworth and Clark Duke). Hemsworth and Duke stumble into business which challenges the people they're working for. The story mixes cold blooded moments and funny ones. Just take a look at the names in the cast and you can tell this is a quality film. The story emphasizes that there is no honor amongst thieves because everyone is out for themselves. That means relationships are always shifting and people can meet an unexpected end.

Very intense and suspensful story about Punks vs Nazi Skinheads

I was immediately drawn to this movie because it features a Punk band on tour in the northwest U.S. They showed some real struggles of playing shows in small towns. The film is about them being trapped in a club run by Nazi Skinheads led by Patrick Stewart of all people. That was a perfect piece of casting. The story creates a great amount of tension and suspense with some real evil thrown in plus some twists as well. It’s very engaging.

Don't think it meant to be campy fun but it was

I don’t think this movie meant to by funny but it was. The opening sequences are a perfect example. A soccer player knocks out a robber by kicking a napkin dispenser into his head. Donny Yen jumps through a window onto a table and shrugs at the bad guys. Vin Diesel skateboards off the side of a bus. The film just keeps on delivering scene after scene like these. They are completely over the top and ridiculous and gave XXX a campy feel. I could not take it seriously but that’s what turned out to be enjoyable.

Can two grieving old men come to an understanding?

This movie is based upon a famous book of the same name. It features two legendary performers in James Earl Jones and Richard Harris who are brought together by a murder. It asks whether these two old men can come to an understanding in 1940s South Africa.<br /><br />The two actors bring a weight to their characters who are also grieving. I like how Jones always had dust on his suit and a disheveled look which matched his confused state of mind.<br /><br />The story itself isn’t your usual one about South Africa with Harris being a racist and Jones fighting for black rights. Rather it’s about personal loss and faith.<br /><br />I have to say I wasn’t sure about the story at first as it seemed like two parallel plots but when they came together they formed a tragedy which brought you in.

Soon as Laquan McDonald was shot police covered up truth probably because they'd done it before

In 2014 a Chicago police officer shot and killed 17 year old Laquan McDonald. It appears that officers immediately went into cover up mode. The murder happened at a Burger King so police deleted the franchise’s video of the incident. Three witnesses were found and the detectives questioning them tried to pressure them into changing their stories. Eventually the reports on their interrogations were falsified. The police then made up a fake story and told it to the press and repeated it in their reports. The policemen, the sergeants, the officers and detectives in this case seemed to know exactly what to do as soon the killing happened probably because they had done it before. You can guess what the city of Chicago initially did with the case.<br /><br />A specific example of what happened was that three witnesses at the Burger King who saw the incident said that McDonald was running away from a cop who then shot him in the back and he dropped. The officer than shot him 15 more times when he was on the ground. That was an execution. The police claimed lMcDonald unged at an officer with a knife and he fired in self defense. This was corroborated by all the other officers present. The claim they were threatened was a lie.<br /><br />The documentary includes the dash cam footage from one of the police cars of the shooting and it is horrific. It confirms that it was a murder. Even after it came out the city and police continued with their lies and the cops claimed they were the victim in the incident. That was because they got caught lying and they felt like being held accountable was a betrayal.<br /><br />The tragedy is that this is all too common. If you read the original police report on George Floyd’s murder it says that he suffered from “medical distress” after he was in handcuffs and died at the hospital. There’s no mention of Eric Chauvin sitting on his neck.<br /><br />The one uplifting part of the film is the protest movement that developed demanding justice. They had a thorough plan to force the city to hold people accountable and held a series of smart and targeted demonstrations. They were surprisingly successful.

A moral story about temptation

Tyler Perry used some familiar tropes in Temptation and flipped them around a bit. The theme is choosing between short term pleasure or long term fulfillment. Jurnee Smollett has to pick between her husband Lance Gross and the new guy Robbie Jones. Ella Joyce is Smollett’s religious mother who thinks her daughter is being tempted by the Devil. This movie could’ve become really cheesy and melodramatic as Perry used to do in his plays but instead it becomes a moral story with a very good ending. Thumbs up to Perry for pulling this off.

Main characters have to work out their dark pasts that haunt and motivate them

I wasn’t a big fan of the computer graphics used for the animation of this movie at first but I eventually got used to it. What I liked the most about the story was that the three main characters all had dark secrets in their past which both motivated and haunted them at the same time. You don’t expect that kind of background in most anime. Plus the battle scenes are like giant space battleships shooting at each other. Reminds me of Space Battleship Yamato that I used to watch as a kid.

I laughed despite some really dumb parts

I laughed at this movie. I liked the cast. But there are some scenes that are sooooo sexist and dumb at the same time. The start is a perfect example with women throwing themselves at the main male characters left and right. They do try to make up for it with some women’s sessions where the females get together and lament and complain about double standards, sexism, etc., plus the guys getting real with each other about how to act in relationships. It evens out the bad parts.

2 eccentric friends on a road trip with food impressions and the English countryside

Steve Coogan invites his work friend Rob Brydon on a business trip to rural northern England where he has to write a food piece. Both are eccentric which is where the humor come from. For instance they go out to eat and argue about how Michael Caine talks and do other impressions. Along the way you get to see all the food they eat as well which is high end gourmet dishes. There are also some great shots of the countryside and a surprisingly poignant ending. The whole movie is based upon Cogan and Brydon’s personalities so you have to like them to like the film.

1 of Chan's most endearing roles as the mentor to Jaden Smith

This was a worthy remake of the 1980s classic. It kept the basics of the story of a lonely kid in a new place who finds a man that becomes his mentor and teaches him martial arts to help him deal with some bullies who come from a Chinese version of Cobra Kai. This time it featured Jaden Smith as the kid and Jackie Chan as the teacher. Smith moves to China with his mom played by Taraji P. Henson where he meets Chan.<br /><br />For Chan it was a different kind of role. He wasn’t the action figure but rather a reluctant to get involved old man. He did get to show a bit of his comedy. He also took up the Mr. Miyagi form of teaching making Smith repeat the same simple motions over and over to teach him martial arts moves. He was also full of sorrow which was a added twist to the character. All together it proves to be one of Chan’s more endearing characters.<br /><br />Smith was good as well as the frustrated kid having to give up everything and adapt to not only a new home but a completely new country where he didn’t even speak the language.<br /><br />It’s definitely an entertaining family film.

I don't know what the appeal of this movie is

I don’t know what the appeal of this movie is. It’s about shock jock talk radio host Barry Champlain played by Eric Bogosian. His shtick is to talk over and insult the people who call into his show. Personally he’s an egotistical jerk that treats all the women in his life like garbage. Why would someone want to watch nearly two hours of Barry doing his talk show? It’s not until the last 15 minutes that he gets reflective and it’s not worth waiting that long.

Step backwards for Batman series Villains were too cartoonish

Batman Forever was a change in the guard for the series. Tim Burton switched to producer, Joel Schumacher became director and Val Kilmer became Batman taking on Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face, Jim Carrey as the Riddler and picking up Chris O’Donnell as Robin. I think these were all steps backwards. Batman Returns was pretty amazing. This was on par with the first Batman, which wasn’t bad but mixed in too much comedy so it was like the Batman TV show of the 1960s instead of the serious and dark mood that it deserved. That means when Kilmer is on screen it’s serious but as soon as Jones or Carrey show up it turns

Plot against Hitler failed as most of Germany remained loyal Nazis

Valkyrie was based upon the 1944 attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler. It starred Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg who set the bomb in Hitler’s headquarters.<br /><br />The story revolves around a group of mostly German army officers who are tired of the war and Hitler’s rule and want to eliminate the dictator. They recruit Stauffenberg to their cause and attempt to kill Hitler and stage a coup. The first part of the film focuses upon the plotting, while the second is on the actual attempt. The tension starts with the conspirators having to work around Hitler to get their plan in motion and only grows once the bomb goes off.<br /><br />The one drawback is that there is not much time spent on why the plotters wanted to get rid of Hitler. Stauffenberg writes a letter at the start about his own opinion, and there’s a slight discussion about it with the schemers, but I guess the idea is the audience already thinks Hitler is bad so they didn’t have to really go into the argument for killing him.<br /><br />One of the strongpoints of Valkyrie is that it shows how entrenched Nazism was amongst the German army. The Nazis were losing in both the west and east at that point in the war, but the majority of the population and military still believed in Hitler.<br />C

This should have been the sequel to the original From Dusk Till Dawn

From Dusk Till Dawn was an interesting mix of a heist story with a vampire one. From Dusk Till Dawn II was a horrible sequel. The third installment was much better. This one took place during the Mexican Revolution. As usual a group of wayward travelers find themselves trapped in a vampire’s den. This one mixed a western with vampires.<br /><br />The start of the movie is a Western. There are people on a stagecoach and a Mexican bandit. That plays upon familiar tropes like innocent people being preyed upon. The one twist is that the authorities are not good guys but rather led by a sadistic executioner played by Temuera Morrison.<br /><br />The second part is a take-off of the first Dusk Till Dawn movie with all the characters ending up at a cantina in the middle of nowhere which is actually a vampire den. What’s new is that added elements to vampires. For instance they can turn into snakes and bats. They also show the origins of Santanico Pandemonium who was played by Selma Hayek in the first movie.<br /><br />All together this was a fun movie. The western part wasn’t that long and the vampire part was great.<br />C

Corporate interests vs artistic expression in the record business w/Earth Wind & Fire & Harvey Keiel

That's The Way Of The World features Earth, Wind & Fire as a band looking for a record contract. Harvey Keitel is a music producer and record executive who works with the group and wants to sign them, but the label wants to push an easy listening group instead called The Pages. The movie therefore is whether Keitel can stick to his guns or will be forced to give into corporate pressure, and whether Earth, Wind & Fire will find the success they desperately seek.<br /><br />The battle between the record company and Keitel starts right from the start. One executive said the public was sick and tired of revolution and protests, while the head of the company said that they were going back to pushing middle America and apple pie music again with The Pages. Those were codewords for not releasing black music anymore. Another part of the conflict was between corporate interests and artistic expression. The CEO of the company just wanted to make money, while Keitel wanted to release good music.<br /><br />The one problem with the movie is that it didn't exploit Earth, Wind & Fire’s music more. It only had four of their songs and mostly played That’s The Way of the World over and over and over.<br /><br />Still this was a very interesting movie. The struggle between Keitel and the record company has played out in real life and the ending has a very interesting twist.<br />C

This documentary actually confirmed that a lot of Kiss' early songs weren't that good

I was never a Kiss fan growing up. Their music just never really appealed to me besides their ballad Beth. Today I appreciate them more and that was the reason why I watched this documentary about them. Like others in this series it goes in chronological order through the group’s history. It actually confirmed the fact that a lot of their songs really weren’t that good besides some of their hits.

The Nazis were villains in so many different ways

The Nazis were villains in so many different ways. They conquered Europe. They killed Jews. They stole the cultural treasures of the continent. The latter is the focus of Monuments Men based upon a real unit of American soldiers tasked with tracking down art taken by the Germans during World War II.<br /><br />The movie has an ensemble cast led by George Clooney as Lt. Frank Stokes. Clooney also co-wrote, produced and directed the Monuments Men. He has a very small group of men under his command who break up and fan across Western Europe to try to find art, preserve it, and return it. Sometimes they run into the Germans. Other times it’s the Allied commanders who don’t care about their mission. One time Matt Damon as Lt. James Granger finds a painting in a huge warehouse full of stolen goods from Paris’ Jews. He goes to the home it belonged to but finds that the family has been sent off to the concentration camps. They find real horrors as well such as gold teeth taken from executed Jews.<br /><br />By the end they make the movie exciting as they’re in a race against time to find the art.<br /><br />Overall this is a very good movie that helps drive the point home about why World War II needed to be fought.<br />C

Takes common Hong Kong tropes and gives them a twist

Ti Lung plays a former disciple of the Shaolin Temple who goes to work for the government and destroys his old school. There is a secret plot underway however. The movie takes familiar Hong Kong mainstays and gives them a little twist. For example, instead of all the endless training scenes the Shaolin members are taken prisoner and tortured. Revenge is present as well but it’s not apparent until the climax scene at the end. The main drawback is that the fight scenes aren’t dynamic. Instead they were by the numbers, literally. You could see them going one, strike, two block, three kick, four punch, etc. Still it’s not a bad martial arts film.

Theron captures the trauma and pain of her character

Dark Places plays out like a messed up true crime story. Charlize Theron has been traumatized her whole life after her brother Tye Sheridan was blamed and imprisoned for the murder of her family when she was a child. Nicholas Hoult thinks he’s innocent which makes her relive the whole affair over again which is told through a series of flashbacks. Theron delivers another strong lead. She captures the loner persona of her character so well. She doesn’t even want Hoult to get near her when they first meet for instance. She also portrays the pain she keeps inside. The movie goes in all kinds of directions as she and Hoult try to track down all the people from her past. It definitely has an unexpected ending as well.

The unexpected costs of fame

Originally I thought this movie would be about how Old West outlaws fade away. That’s because it starts with Jesse James (Brad Pitt) doing his last robbery and then going back to his family. Instead the theme turned out to be about the cost of fame. James was one of the most well known criminals in America and therefore always had to look over his shoulder out of fear someone was there to kill, betray or arrest him. He never knew friendship or trust as a result. It’s also about Robert Ford (Casey Affleck) who killed James. He wanted to be James so bad his whole life. Then when he killed him he thought he would become known as well. That didn’t work out for him either. These are the unexpected costs of becoming a celebrity. The movie does a great job presenting the story. Pitt and Affleck both give standout performances.

Good intro to how Black Sabbath started in the 1970s

Up Close and Personal is a documentary about the origins of Black Sabbath featuring interviews interspersed with live concert footage from the 1970s. The original band members, plus Ronnie James Dio, and music journalist Steven Rosen talk about how they came together, how they shaped their music, etc. The music scenes are all from the early period in the band when Ozzy was the lead singer and includes all of their early hits. Unfortunately they only play a little bit of a song before they cut back to an interview. Sabbath songs are long so it was probably asking the producers to much to play entire songs, but it would have been nice to have a little more of each tune.<br /><br />In terms of stories you get the famous one of how guitarist Tony Iommi lost the tips of two of his fingers and had to work out how to play without them. There’s a great little tid bit about how the band became huge cocaine addicts, something that Ozzy expounded upon as well saying that fame led them to all kinds of excesses with drugs being one of them. Another thing that stands out is that Iommi during this period still had a little feud with Ozzy. That’s shown by the fact that he gives bassist Geezer Butler the credit for writing 90% of the lyrics.<br /><br />The film ends with the exit of Ozzy and the entrance of Ronnie James Dio, although no footage of Dio singing with the band is included.<br /><br />Overall, the movie is a good introduction to Black Sabbath and has some great tunes if only played in small doses.<br />C

There's no story it's just about the expenditure of ammunition

I was a fan of the Resident Evil video game, but never quite got into the movie franchise it spawned. I always thought the films were just playing the same story again and again. It’s always about Alice fighting the Umbrella Corporation. Either they want her because of her mutation or she’s trying to stop them. This time Alice has been captured by the Corporation but they need her to save humanity.<br /><br />Problems with the story are apparent immediately. It starts with the corporation putting Alice through a series of dreamscapes where she’s always confronted by the undead and has to kill her way out. Then its revealed that the corporation needs her to help save the world from the Red Queen the artificial intelligence that runs the company. Alice is in a large facility and has to escape. What does that have to do with the dreams she just went through? Well it’s a foreshadowing of what she’ll encounter to get out, but really it’s there so that the director could show Alice slicing and dicing her way through the zombies. That’s ultimately what all of the Resident Evil movies are about.<br /><br />So if the release is just about the action how is it? Well there’s a large expenditure of ammunition. Most of it is good, but some of it is ridiculous. Once scene has Alice trapped inside a house and she peeks out from cover to shoot her gun and kills a couple attackers each time. Then they show the scene from the outside and she’s firing from a kitchen through a living room then a window with the shades pulled down meaning she couldn’t even see what she was shooting at.<br /><br />If you want some mindless fun then Resident Evil might be for you, but really the lack of any type of story really makes this entire franchise just about the amount of guns and zombies they can show.

70s shlock horror

The Prophecy is a 1970s monster movie about environmental destruction in Maine. A paper plant is dumping chemicals into the water system causing mutant animals and killing the local Native American tribe. Into this mix comes Robert Foxworth and his wife Talia Shire to investigate.<br /><br />The movie is completely up and down. There are some amazing scenes like bodies being strewn all over the place in the opening to the mutants that show up. On the other hand other parts are ridiculous like Foxworth who is an emergency doctor being hired by the Environmental Protection Agency to be an investigator. Also the lead Indian role was played by Armand Assante maintaining a long Hollywood tradition of casting Italians as ethnic characters like Latinos and Native Americans.<br /><br />Despite its warts the film can still be enjoyed as some 70s shlock horror.

Starts off okay but then just becomes excuse for fight scenes

The title of the movie comes from the fact that both the vampires and the Lycans want Selene and her daughter’s blood. It’s considered a special breed that both sides hope will give them power. That’s mixed in with a good dose of revenge and betrayal.<br /><br />Like all the movies you’ve got Kate Beckinsale jumping around in her tight black leather outfight either beating people up or putting some bullets into them.<br /><br />The problem with the movie is that the story falls apart halfway through. Just some really bad writing hits and things never recover. Things just degenerate into an excuse for action sequences.<br />C

Takes you to 1970s Brazil with the people places music & crime of the time

City of God is one of my favorite movies. I saw it three times in a movie theater when it first came out and own the DVD. It is a truly amazing experience which takes you back to 1970s Brazil with the people, the places, and the music of the time. It focuses upon Alexandre Rodrigues as Rocket who is an aspiring photographer in Rio caught in between a gang war. The movie traces the two rival gangs, how they got started, how they went to war and how it impacted the people of the district called the City of God. It’s partially based upon a true story of two criminals Li’l Dice/Li’l Z (Leandro Firmino) and Knockout Ned (Seu Jorge).<br /><br />The movie plays out like it’s a biography of the City of God from the early days in the 1960s when it was just a small row of house that expanded with a steady flow of refugees from the interior and how crime was always part of the area. It builds from there into how it became a flavela/district of Rio.<br /><br />With it comes all the stories and characters that make the film so special. There’s the Tender Trio who were small time crooks which included Rocket’s brother, the rise of Li’l Dice/Li’l Z as a gangster and a psychopath, Shorty the snitch, and others. Li’l Z’s partner in crime for instance Benny (Jonathan Haagensen) became a playboy which was what they called the middle class kids for wearing designer shirts, shoes, hanging out at the beach, and who eventually wanted out of crime but couldn’t.<br /><br />Finally there’s the music shown at the dance clubs with Samba, Soul, Rock, etc. That includes all the dancing and the groove of the crowds.<br /><br />It is really a one of a kind movie.<br />C

A fun treasure hunt based upon history

When Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage) was a kid, his grandfather John Adams Gates (Christopher Plummer) told him a story of a secret treasure buried somewhere in the United States. This story always enthralled him. When he was an adult he go to fulfill his dreams and look for it, which is the basis of the plot of National Treasure.<br /><br />What was enjoyable about the movie was that included all of these historical myths and weaved them together into the story. For instance, Ben’s grandfather talked about the treasure being connected to the Knights Templars, the Free Masons and the images on the dollar bill.<br /><br />Cage was great in this role. There wasn’t any crazy Cage as he’s famous for, but he had the right attitude and showed the obsession the character had.<br /><br />Overall, it was a really fun treasure hunt.

Studio didn't seem to know what to do with series after taking it out of prison

Grudge Song was the fourth and final film in the Female Prisoner Scorpion series featuring Meiko Kaji as Matsu the Scorpion. The movie starts off with Matsu on the run from the police and taken in by a man. He hates the cops as much as she does because they tortured him.<br /><br />Moving outside the prison like the first two movies put the franchise into a tailspin. The writers just didn’t seem to know what to do with the character. That’s seen in the fact that the first 60% of the story is spent in rooms with Matsu and the man looking at each other as they’re hiding out. Finally, she gets captured and returns to prison, but things get only marginally better. It seems like the studio should have stopped Scorpion after 2 films but pushed it to four with not very good results.<br />C

It's not about 2 Kung Fu masters but a white guy trying to save a woman from the evil Chinese

Birth of the Dragon was inspired by a mythical fight between Bruce Lee and another Kung Fu master named Wong Jack Man in California in the early 1960s. While it sets up Lee and Wong as natural opposites the real focus was upon one of Lee’s white students and an even more mythical Chinatown controlled by gangsters. As usual Hollywood couldn’t have a movie with two Asian leads and instead had to give it to a white man and created an exotic Chinatown to boot.<br /><br />If the movie had stuck with Lee and Wong it might have gotten a passing grade. The two are presented as polar opposites. Lee had a small school but had giant dreams of becoming famous with an ego to back it up. Wong on the other hand was a Shaolin monk who’d just moved to San Francisco, worked as a dishwasher and was very humble. Lee was convinced that Wong was sent to America to fight him. The contrast is put into words when Wong and Lee see each other for the first time and Wong said that Lee was driven by ambition, which was his fatal flaw. Here you have a natural conflict, but the problem was it was about two Asians and the movie made that the side story.<br /><br />What the movie really wanted to focus upon was how evil Chinatown was and how a white man was going to save a Chinese woman from it. Lee’s Student Steve turns out to be the main character. He falls for a woman that works at a Chinese restaurant, but she’s like an indentured servant to a Tong, a Chinese gang. Steve of course is going to save the Chinese woman from this evil and make the perfect stereotypical couple of a white man with an Asian woman. Typical Hollywood fare where Asians get sidelined in a story that’s supposed to be about them.<br />C

Gorillaz perform live with special guests but too many so-so songs

The Gorillaz went from a concept band to a real group with a series of hits. Here they made a special performance that included the various guests that appeared on their album. They have a huge band with strings, multiple back up singers, etc. The band is cast in black light as they were supposed to be cartoon characters whose faces plus other graphics are projected onto a screen. I thought it was hilarious that some of their guests hardly did anything. Neneh Cherry for example barely sang. Another time a guy just pinned away at a piano for a short period and then left. There were obviously some more substantial contributions such as by De La Soul. Overall I have to say that there were a lot of so so songs in their set plus many of them had the same theme about a declining society and lots of references to guns.

Great cast that has a lot of fun with a strong soundtrack backing it

This movie has a great soundtrack of 60s and 70s Soul and Funk hits with a few Latin tunes thrown in. It gets you into it immediately. The cast is just as good. Christopher Meloni and Dean Norris are used cars salesmen that know all the tricks of the trade. They are the mentors to Devon Bostick who is skipping college to work with his dad Meloni. Meloni and Bostick have some good bonding moments, but even better is Meloni and Norris working their magic as salesmen. That leads to some really funny moments and is the heart of the movie.

It's more of a drama than a martial arts film

Someone is smuggling opium within a martial arts association. That leads to the conflict but there’s actually very little action. Instead, most of the movie is about the plotting, backstabbing and search for the villain. I was hoping for a better mix of Kung Fu and storytelling as there was a big fight scene at the start but that was not to be. It turns out Tigers is a drama rather than a martial arts movie.

Funny at 1st but then becomes stereotypical emotional woman vs the analytic man

Barefoot In The Park is one of those classic romantic comedies from the 1960s focusing on the newlyweds Jane Fonda and Robert Redford. The jokes are subtle yet effective such as when Fonda and Redford get off a packed elevator and she says “You know I’m only 15” to try to scandalize the other passengers. The story eventually falls into common stereotypes with Fonda being the emotional and fun loving one and Redford being calm and straight laced. It made the second half not as enjoyable as the first.

Funny raunchy comedy about a teacher that doesn't care

Bad Teacher was a raunchy comedy featuring Cameron Diaz as Elizabeth Halsey a woman who takes up teaching simply for the paycheck. She ends up falling for a wealthy substitute teacher named Scott (Justin Timberlake) but also finds out about a contest involving testing that could win her a large amount of cash for a breast job she wants. She transforms into an educator from hell pushing her students to their limits when before she would usually put on a video and went to sleep. Along the way she learns that she can actually teach, that she can help kids, and that money isn’t everything. In the end, it’s about redemption with a lot of sex jokes and juvenile humor.<br /><br />The supporting characters are actually much better than Diaz. Jason Segel as Russell who is the PE teacher likes Halsey but is constantly gets rebuffed. He deals with his rejection by making wisecracks. There’s Ms. Lynn Davies (Phyllis Smith) who plays the bumbling teacher and Ms. Squirrel (Lucy Punch) who is the consummate teacher and wins over Scott which completely disgusts Halsey. She’s constantly plotting ways to get Scott and thwart Squirrel to hilarious results.<br />C

Amazing start but then becomes completely self-indulgent

2001 is Stanley Kubrick’s famous piece about the fate of mankind.<br /><br />I have to say there is some amazing cinematography and symbolism. The opening has the sun appearing behind the Earth with the iconic theme music playing which stands for the birth of a new age. There’s the black door that appears amongst some apes with the sun appearing above it. What was the new age? When the ape took up a bone and used it as a tool to hunt and eventually kill which would give birth to humankind. That’s what the movie is about as it transitions to people in space who are confronted with the same issues of tools and how to use them.<br /><br />I have to say after the amazing start the movie really drags. Kubrick got carried away in showing off the world he created so you get things like 5 minutes of watching a spaceship and a space station because it’s supposed to be awe inspiring. Kubrick ends up doing this again and again for the entire film. By the end it feels like it’s completely self-indulgent.

Good start but Bond trying to pass for Japanese & Asian stereotypes eventually sinks it

You Only Live Twice was the fifth James Bond movie and starred Sean Connery in the lead. It again featured the international criminal organization SPECTRE launching a new plan this time playing the two superpowers against each other. It captured American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts and their vehicles in space in the hopes that Washington and Moscow would turn on each other. The major problem was the second half of the film was ridiculous as Bond is supposed to pass as a Japanese man with make-up. There are also plenty of racial stereotypes. That puts it in the second tier of Bond films.<br /><br />The good parts of the film were the new Bond girls. There’s Aki (Akiko Wakabayashi) who was a mainstay in Japanese films and most recognizable in the west from the Godzilla movies she starred in. Then there’s Helga Brandt (Karin Dor) who worked for SPECTRE. She had a striking resemblance to Luciana Paluzzi who played SPECTRE agent Fiona Volpe in the previous film Thunderball. Finally, Bond marries Kissy Suzuki (Mie Hama) in the second half as he assumes a Japanese identity. It was nice to see them cast real Japanese for Japanese roles instead of having whites in make-up.<br /><br />There’s also gadgets as usual. The stand out is a mini-helicopter Bond flies.<br /><br />The plot eventually goes off the tracks however. Bond has surgery to look like a Japanese and marries. It is a completely unbelievable make-up job. On top of that Bond gets trained to be a ninja. Even before that there were a bunch of pliant Japanese women pleasing bond. This were both blatant uses of Asian stereotypes. It’s the reason why this Bond film ranks below Sean Connery’s other works which were some of the best in the franchise.<br />C

Brings out the humanity of the characters who are involved a very brutal sport

In 2000 the independent film Girl Fight was released about women getting into boxing. In 2004 Clint Eastwood topped that with the big budget Million Dollar Baby which became a huge success. The story focuses upon Hillary Swank as Maggie Fitzgerald who wants to become a boxer, Eastwood as Frankie Dunn who first says he refuses to train women but then is won over by Maggie, and Morgan Freeman as Eddie Dupris who runs Dunn’s gym and is also the narrator of the film. What was so effective about the story was that it brought real humanity to the characters in a very brutal sport.<br /><br />Eastwood plays the curmudgeon which he’s done a lot of late in his career because he does it so well. As Durpis notes in a voice over Maggie was white trash and had absolutely nothing and she knew it. Boxing was the one thing that she had that made her feel like somebody. It’s Dupris who first sees the drive in Maggie and tries helping her out. Dunn on the other hand becomes even more bitter when his prize fighter leaves him for another manager and becomes a champion. The reason was because he was too cautious and treated his fighters like they were his children. That sets up the two themes of the film. One is Maggie’s attempt to become a fighter despite all the odds. The second is Dunn overcoming his trepidations about his fighters.<br /><br />The movie then moves into the boxing and those are done very well. In fact there’s even some comedy in how Maggie dispatches her foes.<br /><br />It’s impossible to describe what happens to Maggie without spoiling the movie but it really showed the writing chops of F.X. Toole who did the story and Paul Haggis who wrote the screenplay. It really brings up the relationship between Dunn and Maggie which went far beyond the ring.<br /><br />There’s a reason why Million Dollar Baby received such praise when it was released. It is an outstanding film with great performances by Eastwood, Swank and Freeman.<br />C

Beautiful voices of the short lived Rocksteady period in Jamaican music

Jamaican music went through a quick sea change in the 1960s. First Ska emerged as a fast paced take off of American R’nB. Then things slowed down while keeping the soulful singing into what would become Rocksteady. That didn’t last long as the music went into a bass heavy and slower rhythm with Reggae. Unfortunately, many don’t remember Rocksteady unless they’re a music aficionado. Rocksteady: The Roots of Reggae helps bridge that gap in knowledge.<br /><br />The documentary combines great archival footage from the island with contemporary interviews and studio performances.<br /><br />Some of the people interviewed and singing are Stranger Cole, Hopeton Lewis, Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths, Ken Booth, Derrick Morgan, Gladstone Anderson, Dawn Penn, U-Roy, Leroy Sibles, The Tamlins, and Rita Marley amongst others. They were brought together to record a tribute album and do a reunion concert.<br /><br />What really stands out is the beautiful voices of these artists.<br /><br />If you love Jamaican music you should really check out this movie.<br />C

Hitchcock espionage thriller that is a bit up and down

A strange woman approaches Robert Donat saying that she’s a spy and men are after her. She ends up dead and Donat is suspected of the crime. That’s the start of Alfred Hitchcock’s Thirty Nine Steps which is an espionage thriller. There’s a nice bit of tension with Donat being chased. On the other hand he keeps telling people he’s being chased by the police and expects people to help him which is incredible naive and unbelievable. That sort of exemplifies the entire movie, it has its high and low points.

Utter and complete failure at explaining how Chiang's food was so special

Cecilia Chiang started a restaurant by accident when her friends got her to sign a lease and then they backed out. Her place in San Francisco was famous for having original Chinese dishes. Yes, almost everything you eat at Chinese restaurants in the U.S. is Chinese-American and not what you get back in China. The problem with this movie is that it is almost all talking heads and really neglects the food which should have been the focus.<br /><br />The problem with the movie is that it is all talking heads for the first half. Not only that but there is very little on the actual food. If Chiang was so groundbreaking and her food was so different from the usual dishes seen at place in America why didn’t they talk about what her recipes were like???? No, instead they just talk and talk and talk about how Chinese food in America sucked until Chiang came along. They didn’t even really show what her restaurant was like.<br /><br />Finally at the halfway mark Chiang is responsible for a banquet for Alice Waters but they even screw that up. They just show her chef cutting things, doing the prep work and then cooking it but there is no commentary about what the dishes are. Where they are from? What’s special about them? First you get endless talking and now you get silent cooking. It’s ridiculous!<br /><br />Overall this was a very disappointing experience. I don’t know how a documentary about food could have failed so much in dealing with its topic. Initially it’s talking again and again about how special Chiang’s restaurant was. Then it’s showing a food service without any explanation for what you’re looking at.<br />C

Will Wayne's legacy be a vigilante? A recluse? Or as a man that found happiness?

Dark Knight Rises was the end of Christopher Nolan’s amazing Batman trilogy. The movie dealt with the legacy of Ra’s al-Ghul, the villain from the first movie Batman Begins. The theme was Bruce Wayne’s legacy. Would he go down as a recluse after losing his love in the Dark Knight? Would he return as Batman and live his entire life as a vigilante outlaw running from the law? Or would he be able to move on with his life?<br /><br />The movie relies upon the characters around Wayne to drive the story. First there’s Catwoman who robs Wayne and intrigues him to get back out onto the streets. Second there’s Detective John Blake who still believes in the Batman. Last is Alfred who always provides some wisdom this time trying to tell Wayne that the world is bigger than just being Batman. Last in Bane the villain. His best part was when he gave populist speeches to the people of Gotham about how they were taking back their city, how people were wrongfully imprisoned, and that he was going to release the oppressed. He was a demagogue however. His rhetoric only hid his grab for power.<br /><br />The movie is a fitting end to the Batman series. It had a lot to live up to however after the Dark Knight and didn’t rise to that level. Bane for example is not as great as Batman’s previous villains. Of course nothing could stand up to the Joker, but still, there could have been some more there.<br />C

James Bond in a blaxploitation flick

Live And Let Die was Roger Moore’s first stint playing James Bond and his second best film in the series. It’s very interesting because it’s a blaxploitation flick.<br /><br />Bond is tasked with investigating Prime Minister Karanga (Yaphet Kotto) of the mythical Caribbean country of San Monique. It turns out Karanga is connected with a Harlem mobster named Mr. Big. By doing so screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz included all kinds of elements from blaxploitation including black gangsters, black clubs, pimpmobiles, and voodoo. Best of all Bond got to be called a honky. The settings were all in black neighborhoods and countries as well including Harlem, the make believe San Monique and New Orleans. There were also plenty of black characters with meaningful parts. Besides Kotto, there was Julius Harris playing Mr. Big’s right hand man. I should say claw as he was missing a hand. Geoffrey Holder had the most exciting character as the flamboyant Baron Samedi who was a witch doctor. The movie did a good job with it all and it was fun to watch.<br /><br />Finally, Roger Moore fit right into being James Bond. Previously he played Simon Templar in The Saint TV show who was a playboy who travelled the world to solve crimes and help people. That made for a perfect transition to being Bond.<br />C

Contrasts conservative police with counterculture but story is too meandering

Electric Glide In Blue is an odd 1970s cop film. It takes place in Arizona where motorcycle officer John Wintergreen (Robert Blake) stumbles upon a murder and gets the chance to become a detective like he’s always wanted. The movie poses a contrast between a small town’s conservative police force and the counterculture.<br /><br />The film begins laying out the department Wintergreen works for. The force is made up of a bunch of good old boys in rural Arizona. They don’t like hippies and are racist as well. The murder investigation leads to hippies, bikers and more. This sets out the theme of the establishment vs the youth culture and changes going on in America during the 1960s-70s.<br /><br />The problem is the story is completely meandering. It goes off on all kinds of tangents like a detective’s love life, Wintergreen’s fellow motorcycle cops and other things. It would have been a lot better if they’d kept things tighter.

1 of the best Godzilla movies with a political message warning about pollution

The original Godzilla movie was a warning about the effects of nuclear weapons. Godzilla vs Hedorah had a similar message about the threat of pollution. In America the movie was released as Godzilla vs the Smog Monster because Hedorah was the result of all the waste dumped into the ocean. That’s emphasized right at the start as the credits show all kinds of garbage and sludge floating on water. This makes the film openly political.<br /><br />One good thing about the movie is that it gets right down to business. A marine biologist shows how damaged a bay is by pollution and the monster appears immediately followed by Godzilla. By this time the big guy was a hero so he’s portrayed as an environmental warriors attempting to save the planet from Hedorah and waste. There’s plenty of fight scenes between the two throughout the movie.<br /><br />Hedorah really stands out because it came in many forms. At one time it looks like a tadpole and then the next like a flying saucer. He also emits a deadly mist of sulfuric acid that destroys everything it touches. People are forced to wear masks to try to protect themselves which is of course symbolic of the deteriorating air conditions due to pollution.<br /><br />The film also includes a lot of 1970s Japanese youth culture with some loud Acid Rock scenes. One occurs during a youth protest against pollution on Mount Fuji again emphasizing the political nature of the film.<br /><br />This really is one of the best Godzilla movies because of the action along with the message.<br />C

Adrien Brody is seeking redemption for his past life but gets dragged back into it

When the plot of Clean becomes apparent it is a very familiar one. Adrien Brody is seeking redemption for his past life but gets drawn back into it.<br /><br />It starts off with a real Taxi Driver feel with Brody doing a voice over about how ugly the world is. He does community work however to try to change it and to pay for his sins.<br /><br />I’ve always been a fan of Brody and he doesn’t disappoint here. He’s got the quiet brooding guy down pat. At the same time he adds some humanity. Plus he’s a bad ass when it’s called for.<br /><br />I enjoyed Clean as a result.

Made a serviceable story out of Red Riding Hood you can veg out to on the sofa

This movie made a serviceable story out of the Red Riding Hood tale. They made it into a medieval village haunted by a werewolf. Gary Oldman shows up as a priest hunting the beast who turns out to be just as much of a monster. It also does a good job confusing the audience about who the lycanthrope is. This all made Red Riding Hood a good film to veg out to on the sofa.

Interesting twist to prison story until they overdo the climax

Escape Plan has an interesting twist on the usual prison drama. Sylvester Stallone breaks out of prisons to show their vulnerabilities. He agrees to a job to be thrown into a top secret facility which seems invulnerable. He’s paired up with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The whole plot is obviously about how Stallone and Schwarzenegger are going to get out. The writers did a good job keeping things interesting like where they’re held and there’s plenty of suspense plus some action as well. The Stallone-Schwarzenegger combo also works until the end. Things are going well and then they totally overdo it with the climax. It was still worthwhile to watch besides that.

Get a taste of Common's soulful storytelling

What I like about Common’s music is that a lot of songs are stories and you really get that in this performance. Once son for example is about how he collaborated with a guy on his music and then the man got sick. He also has a lot of soulful beats. You get all that in this show.

Story of two brothers going in different directions in life

Jason’s Lyric is about legacy. Brothers Allen Payne and Bokeem Woodbine are dealing with the death of their father which one of them was responsible for. One is hard working and a mama’s boy. The other is the exact opposite which leads to conflict. The movie flashes back and forth between their time with their dad and their current lives which continue to go in different directions. The story of the two brothers is compelling. I also like the supporting cast which includes Jada Pinkett Smith, Forest Whitaker, and Eddie Griffin. The one problem is the love story between Payne and Smith which gets really cheesy. For instance there’s a scene with them rolling around naked on the grass and in the flowers which gets ridiculous. Every time they start kissing I start shaking my head. I know some people are going to ask how can I hate on a sex scene with Jada but they just went completely over the top black love fantasy and ruined it for me.

Unleashes Salma Hayek

Sequels can be highly questionable sometimes but that’s not the case with The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. It’s just as good as the original.<br /><br />It brings back the complaining by Ryan Reynolds and all the hating by Samuel L. Jackson. All the gun play returns as well. The main difference is that it unleashes Salma Hayek. She had her moments in the first film like how she abused her cell mate. Here she’s a co-star and she has a mouth on her, an attitude, and she likes shooting people on top of that.<br /><br />Other elements are added as well. Hayek for instance wants a baby and Reynolds’ daddy issues are revealed.<br /><br />If you like Hitman’s Bodyguard you’ll love the follow up.

Moonshiners vs corrupt cops during Prohibition

Lawless is about moonshiner outlaws during Prohibition going up against the corrupt cops and district attorney. It features three brothers Tom Hardy as Forrest, Jason Clarke as Howard and Shia LaBeouf as Jack. The Bondurant family had a reputation for being invincible and would not let anyone push them around. They came into conflict with a new district attorney and his henchman Special Deputy Charley Rakes played by Guy Pearce. The D.A. wanted a large cut of the Bondurant’s business which they refused which led to a war. The movie is loosely based upon a true story.<br /><br />The movie works on several levels. It focuses upon the independence and hard headedness of the Boundurants. They were used to their ways and wouldn’t let a newcomer like the D.A. and Deputy Rakes tell them what to do. Guy Pearce stands out for being a truly despicable and unlikeable character. The first time you see him you can tell he’s a slime ball which was a fantastic job by the make-up and wardrobe department. Tom Hardy also gives a strong performance as the quiet but brutal head of the family. There’s also gun play as the two sides try to battle it out. Overall it’s a very engaging story.<br />C

Great to see these musicians and singers still performing

Buena Vista Social Club is a documentary about a group of older Cuban Jazz musicians and singers who were brought together to record an album and perform a series of concerts. The movie became an international hit and the Cubans toured various countries afterward. The people talk about their lives and then mixed in with that is practice and concert footage to highlight their music. Things are topped off by a concert in New York City. It’s great to see these people still get down and the music is top notch.

Spoof of NWA and all the stereotypes and images of 90s Hip Hop

CB4 is a spoof of NWA. It’s about a Hip Hop group that can’t make it as who they really are so they pose as a gangster rap outfit which leads to success. The story was co-written by Chris Rock and Nelson George with the later also producing. George is one of the pre-eminent writers about African American music and culture.<br /><br />The movie plays upon many of the stereotypes and images surrounding rap music. There are politicians that oppose Hip Hop just to boost their careers, gangsters with beef against the group, Video Vixens, black Muslims, white rap fans, 40 ounce beer bottles, and more. All of these are played for comedic effect. The fact that Charlie Murphy was the gangster Gusto is worth the price of admission alone.<br /><br />It all makes for a good laugh at 90s rap music.<br />C

B000I9WVQ4

By far the best of the 4 original X-Men movies

Of the four initial X-Men releases X2 was by far the best<br /><br />The movie again focuses upon the human-mutant dichotomy. Colonel William Stryker believes there is a war between humans and mutants and has a plan to use Professor Xavier’s Cerebro to wipe them all out. The question is how will the mutants respond. Will it be like Professor Xavier who hopes for co-existence or at least to protect mutants or will it be like Magneto who believes in the war himself and that the mutants should strike back? That’s played out with some of the young students of Xavier who are split between the two sides.<br /><br />Stryker also ran the program that turned Wolverine into a living weapon and that’s a subplot as Logan attempts to find his origins.<br /><br />The reason why X2 was so much better than the other films was that the story was much tighter. It created some real tensions such as when Mystique was trying to break into some of Stryker’s files. The action was better choreographed highlighted by the fight between Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike. The effects were great like Magneto extracting some iron from inside the body of one of his guards. All these together are why it is the most enjoyable to watch.<br />C

Amazing performances and a shocking ending

Foxcatcher has three great performances. That starts with Steve Carell as the millionaire John DuPont. He’s completely socially awkward. For instance, in one scene he tells Channing Tatum he doesn’t have to call him Mr. DuPont anymore he can call him “golden eagle.” Totally ridiculous. As the movie progresses Carell slowly shows how his personality developed. It also exposes his many faults which have a negative impact upon Tatum. Speaking of which Tatum is just as good. He’s driven by wanting independence but he gets more than he expected. Finally, Mark Ruffalo plays Tatum’s brother. He really bulked up for this role so when you see him at first you don’t even recognize him. He’s the only one that seems to have a sound mind and a caring soul. All that is added to a shocking ending which I did not see coming at all.

Solid werewolf film based upon Stephen King story

Silver Bullet is a Stephen King story about a werewolf that terrorizes a town. The movie has some great imagery from a woman being savaged by the Lycan to a nightmare that an entire congregation gets transformed into werewolves during a funeral. On the other hand the special effects sometimes weren’t up to snuff like with the werewolf.<br /><br />Like a lot of King’s work there’s a kid at the center of the story, this time Corey Haim as a paraplegic.<br /><br />The movie is a solid release. It’s not as good as something like An American Werewolf in London but it’s better than the Howling.

Another story of squabbles and betrayal within a Yakuza family

The Boss’s Head was the second out of three films in the New Battles Without Honor and Humanity series directed by Kinji Fukasaku the best purveyor of the Yakuza genre.<br /><br />This one had a completely new storyline from the others. It was based in the Kanmon Channel a major port and focuses upon the Odwada family. Again it stars Bunta Sugawara as Shuji Kuroada who was a killer. He helped the son-in-law of the Owada’s Kusunoki (Tsutomu Yamazaki) kill the rival boss and went to prison for it. When he got out he expected the gang to take care of him, but he gets nothing because the boss (Ko Nishimura) hates his son-in-law. The story then revolves around Kuroda trying to get what’s owed him while being stuck in the middle of a struggle within the Owadas.<br /><br />The Boss’s Head isn’t as high pitched as the other movies in this series or the original Battles Without Honor and Humanity. Sugawara however is his usual strong self. The movie also still focuses upon how cut throat the Yakuza were. They would turn on each other in a minute and betray even their own sworn brothers if it meant getting ahead. This was a common theme throughout all of Fukasaku’s gangster films.

Best movie version of the Punisher

The Punisher: War Zone was the third attempt to make a movie out of the iconic Marvel anti-hero. It featured Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle and did the best job capturing the character of the Punisher. It shows him being a cold blooded killer. It has his motivation which was the death of his family. He’s not just a human terminator however as he shows sympathy for a mother and daughter he brought tragedy to. The action is great, and of course there is a ton of gunplay. All together it’s by far one of the best portrayals of the Punisher. It really shows all the sides of the comic book character.<br />C

Not as good as original Drags Ending isn't as good Blurs message

Harakiri: Death Of A Samurai was Takashi Miike’s remake of the 1962 classic Harakiri by Masaki Kobayashi.<br /><br />The film begins with the ronin (masterless samurai) Tsukumo Hanshiro (Ichikawa Ebizo) arriving at the residence of the Ii clan claiming impoverishment and wanting to commit ritual suicide with the clan’s help. It turns out that earlier another ronin Chijiwa Motome (Eita) appeared at the clan’s home asking for the same thing, and coming from the same clan as Tsukumo. The Il believed that Motome was just trying to get money, so they decide to force him to commit suicide to make an example out of him. In fact, they make him slit his belly with his own sword, which was made of bamboo because he pawned the real one. At first, Hanshiro claims ignorance of Motome, but it turns out they did know each other and Hanshiro is there to put the Ii on trial for their actions.<br /><br />The story for the most part sticks to the original 1962 version with just a few additions. Motome’s suicide for instance makes you squirm in both movies. In fact, the newer version is even worse. The major difference was they changed up the ending, with the original being better.<br /><br />The problem with both films is that the story takes so long to develop. In fact, the remake seems to go at an even slower pace than the 1962 version even though it’s a few minutes shorter.<br /><br />An even bigger issue is that the remake falters with the message. In 1962 Masaki Kobayashi made a film critiquing the entire idea of Bushido, the way of the samurai. He believed the lords, the clans, the samurai code, everything was a lie. If the samurai were so much about honor they would have never disrespected Motome as they did. In the 2011 version it’s more about one man’s struggle to seek revenge, rather than condemning the system itself.<br />C

It's a reckoning for everything that happened 20 yrs ago

Trainspotting 2 was the follow up to the highly successful 1996 film. At the end of that story Mark (Ewan McGregor) escaped his life with his strung out, drug addicted and criminal friends in Edinburgh, Scotland. This movie was like a reckoning for everything that happened before.<br /><br />The story focuses upon Mark’s return to Edinburgh. When he arrives it seems like the city is completely different, but under the surface much of it is the same. For instance he goes to see Spud and finds him trying to commit suicide because he couldn’t straighten out his life and feels like he let down his wife and son. There’s also foreshadowing about what Mark is heading into when he goes to his old room, plays an old record, but only hears the first beat and then takes it off. That’s because it brings back too many memories and a lot of those are bad. This sense of memory and nostalgia is played out throughout the film with scenes of Mark and his friends when they were kids and flashbacks to the first movie.<br /><br />It was great to see this cast of characters back again. Because they’re older this couldn’t be like the first film. It takes its own path while giving enough references to the past. The result is another adventure in Edinburgh.<br />C

Put big bucks behind Riddick character & put him up against an empire

The Chronicles of Riddick was the big budget follow up to Pitch Black with Vin Diesel in the lead. In the first installment Riddick was an alien attempting to help a group of people trapped on a planet with a series of beasts on it. This was a far grander movie with Riddick facing off against an entire galactic empire called the Necromongers who seek to conquer the universe. The story raised the question of whether a loner outlaw was up to the task of facing off against a great power like the Necromongers by himself.<br /><br />The money they spent on the film is apparent right at the start as a planet is invaded by the Necromongers with a huge force of ships and men.<br /><br />It turns out Riddick is the one race of beings that can resist the Necromongers and hence you have the conflict in the story. The problem is in the middle of this giant confrontation they threw in a second story about Riddick being hunted by bounty hunters that didn’t seem necessary at all.<br /><br />Overall you have plenty of special effects and action. It’s pretty amazing what they did with the original Riddick story taking it in a completely different direction.<br />C

At 3hrs tries to do too much Love triangles girls in bathing suits Oh and its a war movie

Pearl Harbor was Michael Bay’s stab at a big budget war film. it highlighted all his favorite topics. The military, guns, explosions, and pretty women. Of course, this being Hollywood they couldn’t leave it at that. They had to throw in a love story as well and go beyond just Pearl Harbor to provide an American victory for what was one of its worse defeats. Clocking in at 3 hours it’s easy to say this movie tried to do too much.<br /><br />The first part of the story centers around Lieutenant Rafe McCawley (Ben Afflect) who is a pilot and his girlfriend nurse Lieutenant Eveyln Johnson (Kate Beckinsale). Here they introduce the all American couple. McCawley is a gung ho soldier who wants to fly and fight. Johnson is the nurse tending to the soldiers. McCawley volunteers to fly for the British before the U.S. had entered the war. That allows for some context that the world was already at war before the Americans joined. That also allowed Bay to do what he liked best, get to show planes fighting each other while Johnson sits on a beach in Hawaii in a bathing suit writing letters to McCawley.<br /><br />They weren’t happy with just that however because later they have Johnson hooking up with McCawley’s best friend Lieutenant Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett). I guess the idea was you can’t have enough love stories in a war film. Bay used that to have more scenes of Johnson in a bathing suit. Plus everybody loves a love triangle. This is why people watch war movies.<br /><br />The second half of the movie finally gets to the fighting. There’s the attack on Pearl Harbor. That being a defeat they couldn’t end the movie like that so they include the Doolittle bombing raid on Tokyo that happened four months after the attack on Hawaii.<br /><br />Hollywood used to be great at making war films. Too many times they try to turn them into epics like this film and it all falls apart.

Good character progression

At first it seemed this film would focus upon the development of Mary Shelley’s writing. Instead it turned out to mostly be about her love affair with Percy Shelley. Thankfully it wasn’t a traditional romance. It’s portrayed as a topsy turvy affair that provides plenty of drama. Eventually their marriage is related to her famous work Frankenstein which explains the story arch. What impressed me the most was the progression they made with Shelley’s character going from a teenager in love with books to a woman in love with Shelley to an independent female writer.

My favorite Ultraman!

Leo was my favorite of all the Ultramen. I never watched it as a kid but I saw pictures of him in Japanese books and I even got an action figure and the MAC base from the show. He just looked so cool.<br /><br />Leo was actually the last of the original Ultramen airing in 1974. The series flopped in the ratings leading to a halt in the franchise for a short period.<br /><br />The creators tried to return to serious stories after going completely for juvenile kids starting with The Return of Ultraman in 1971. That meant better monsters instead of the goofy ones that had become commonplace.<br /><br />They also incorporated the older Ultramen such as having Dan Moroboshi/Kohji Moritsugu who was Ultra Seven being the leader of MAC which Gen/Ryu Manatsu who was Leo joined. Seven would be a mentor to Leo teaching him how to fight aliens threatening Earth. That part of the show reminds me of Hong Kong Kung Fu flicks because almost every episode Gen is training in martial arts.<br /><br />The action scenes for the most part were well done. The guy they got to play Leo in the suit was a real athlete able to do live flips instead of using a trampoline like in previous shows. Leo was also different from previous Ultramen because he didn’t have a ray to put away his enemies.<br /><br />Finally I have to talk about the amazing packing this DVD set comes in. There’s a clear cover with artwork on it. A metal box that contains the discs and a booklet that explains everything you want to know about Ultraman Leo. it is some of the best I’ve ever seen.

Classic 90s Hong Kong crime flick

This is a classic Hong Kong gangster flick from the 1990s. It’s got the slow motion, the rock soundtrack, etc. which were all trademarks of this period.<br /><br />The movie flips back and forth between Ekin Cheng as the suave crime boss and his bumbling underling Sean Lau who can’t get any breaks in life. Lau has a little girl who steals almost every scene she’s in.<br /><br />As the movie progresses there is more and more action but a lot of the sequences are badly coordinated with unrealistic things.

Was laughing out loud as the Hanson brothers bring chaos to the hockey rink

If you enjoyed Will Farrell’s Semi-Pro then you’ll like Slap Shot. It was released 30 years before but it’s the exact same concept. It features a washed up minor league hockey team that’s struggling financially. Paul Newman comes up with a plan to pay the bills. The team is full of characters and go through a number of mishaps.<br /><br />The story starts off straight forward but then halfway through three brothers who the team thinks are mentally handicapped bring the chaos and things become hilarious. I was laughing out loud. There’s a lot of 70s swag as well such as Newman walking around in a brown leather outfit. It’s definitely one of the great sports films of all time.

Borrows storyline form an earlier film but still good

Zatoichi At Large was one of the very last movies released in the franchise. It was the 23rd film.<br /><br />Things start off with Zatoichi coming across a pregnant woman who’d just been attacked. He helps her give birth, but then she dies. Her last words were to take the baby to her father. A variation of the plot had actually been used before in the 8th Zatoichi movie Fight Zatoichi Fight where he also found a baby with a dead woman. In fact, there’s a scene taken from that one as well where Zatoichi tries to breast feed the baby. That’s just used to get things going.<br /><br />When Zatoichi finds the town the baby is from it’s being terrorized by a Yakuza (gangster) Boss Tetsugoro. Zatoichi of course gets caught up in the middle of things. As usual, Zatoichi plays hero to the downtrodden. Of course there’s always got to be a samurai in these films, and that comes in the form of a ronin (masterless samurai) who sells his services to Tetsugoro, which means there will be a big battle at the end.<br /><br />At first, this didn’t seem like it would be that good since the beginning was so derivative of an already tried storyline. Zatoichi At Large however eventually comes into its own.<br />C

Hedonism of the rich and powerful in a lifeless story that I could care less about

People praised Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick’s last film as a masterpiece on sexuality. I found it just a dull story about the hedonistic fantasies of the wealthy. The film begins with Tom Cruise and a pre-plastic surgery Nicole Kidman going to a fancy party and flirting with the opposite sex. Cruise then helps his friend out with a girl who almost overdosed. This all highlights the freedom the rich have to do what they like with no consequences. It’s almost expected of them. Likewise the most famous scene is when Cruise goes to an orgy. It’s at a huge mansion. On top of that most of the film is lifeless and slow paced. At the end they try to throw in some intrigue as the powerful flex their muscles to hide their infidelities but even then the movie never gets interesting. I really could care less about these people and the story. It just drives home how the rich live apart from the general public.

Very intense police procedural looking for a serial killer

Before Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins met up in Silence of the Lambs there was Michael Mann’s Manhunter the first time Hannibal Lecter got put to film. It was an adaptation of Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon which would be remade featuring Hopkins.<br /><br />The film features William Petersen as an FBI investigator trying to find a mass murderer played by Tom Noonan. Petersen is the expert who notes every little detail, much like Foster’s character. It also reminds me of Petersen’s role on CSI where he played the same kind of person. He dominates the movie creating an intense police procedural. Noonan on the other hand is supposed to be creepy but he really isn’t. He does leave one of the most memorable calling cards for Petersen however.<br /><br />It all makes for a very good crime drama.

Joys and trials of being young

In Junior High my art teacher used to play this film all the time. The story is about the joys and trials of being young. A little kid in Paris finds a giant red balloon which becomes like his pet. There is plenty of fun included in the film like when the kid walks around asking people to cover his balloon with their umbrellas to keep it out of the rain or when he gets on a bus and tells the balloon to follow him. A lot of times they just went out into the streets and filmed without telling people what they were doing so you see a lot of genuine responses in people as they see the balloon. The trials come when other kids want the balloon. It’s a beautifully made movie with some revealing shots of 1950s Paris and the poverty some people live din.

Actually about evil corporation exploiting Robocop to profit from Detroit

Robocop is touted as an action drama where a Detroit policeman Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) is transformed into an android policeman. What it’s actually about is the greed and abuse of power by corporations. The Omni Corporation creates Robocop for a profit. It’s not there to protect the city, but to earn money and to take advantage of Detroit.<br /><br />Omni Corporation starts off the movie with a demonstration of a giant military/police robot called ED-209. An executive from the company is killed during the trial in a hail of bullets and blood. Another executive jumps in and offers Robocop as an alternative. The reason why Omni created both was to secure Old Detroit before the company redevelopes it. Again, it makes money from the contract with the city to help with police and then reaps more profits from rebuilding a large part of the city.<br /><br />Most of the movie isn’t about the evil corporation however but about Robocop going through Detroit and killing every criminal he runs into. The larger message however is what makes Robocop better than your run of the mill tough guy cop flick.<br />C

One of the greatest dystopian movies of all time

Children Of Men is one of THE best dystopian movies ever. The movie takes place 2027 where people can no longer have babies. The British government has also turned against refugees and has instituted a police state to round them up and place them in camps. Some people oppose this and carry out terrorist attacks. The movie asks can there still be hope and humanity in the midst of such repression and desperate times?<br /><br />The mood of the movie is set right at the start. The main character Theo (Clive Owen) is in a café when news breaks that the youngest person in the world has died. People are crying over this tragedy. The shop is then bombed right after Theo leaves. A woman emerges holding one of her own limbs. When Theo gets off the train there are a group of immigrants caged with heavily armed policy all over the place. Theo just keeps his head down. Director Alfonso Cuaron created an amazing mood and setting for his film.<br /><br />The story begins when his ex-wife Julian (Juianne Moore) asks him to carry out a special mission for her as she is a leader in the Fishes, an anti-government, pro-immigrant group. The task is to take an immigrant woman named Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey) who is pregnant to the Human Project a secret scientific group that could take care of her. That’s the twist. Everything flows from that. Theo and Kee have to sneak across the country which is heavily policed. They are attacked. There are splits in the Fishes. There is betrayal. There’s an armed revolt. Everything goes to hell around them and yet Kee holds the whole hope of humanity in her womb. She’s the the first example of fertility in years and is an African immigrant.<br /><br />Another great part of the movie was Cauron’s artistry. One example is his use of single shots where the camera keeps filming for several minutes without a cut. The standout one occurs while Theo and Kee are stuck in a refugee camp during the revolt. They are chased back and forth as bullets fly and explosions go off left and right while the camera is focused upon Theo.<br /><br />Every element of Children Of Men work. I don’t think I’ve seen Clive Owen in a bad film. He is an outstanding actor. The mood and setting capture the dystopian world the story takes place within. There’s action. There are twists. It’s just an amazing movie to watch.

Contrived, predictable and a waste of time

Ewan McGregor is a shy accountant that meats a charming lawyer Hugh Jackman. They start hanging out and form a relationship. That’s perfectly fine. Then McGregor is led into a series of one night stands which is so contrived. You also know he’s being played but I kept watching to see where it went, and that was some really bad dialogue and more predictable plot twists. When it finally gets interesting you have to ask yourself whether it’s worthwhile to keep watching since the start was so bad? In the end I felt the answer was no. This is a shame because it has a great cast but that talent was wasted on some stupid writing.

It's one of those movies you can watch over and over

Wedding Crashers is a romantic comedy heavy on the comedy. Vince Vaugh and Owen Wilson pose as wedding guests and get more than they can handle when they meet Isla Fisher and Rachel McAdams. Wilson plays the charmer while Vaughn is the guy with the gift for gab who can’t stop talking. There are some really good moments like when Bradley Cooper plays tackle football during a touch game or when Will Ferrell shows up as the wedding crasher guru.

An ancient Tibetan scroll has to be proteced by a white guy

Bulletproof Monk is another story that sets up a white guy as the savior for Asians.<br /><br />During World War II The Nameless Monk (Chow Yun-Fat) was given special powers to protect a priceless Buddhist scroll in Tibet. Unfortunately his master was then killed in an attack by Nazis who wanted the scroll. Flash forward to the present day and the Nazi commander who attacked the Nameless Monk’s monastery is still after the scroll and the monk believes Kar (Seann William Scott) is going to be his protégé and the next protector of the scroll. This starts the ever so predictable Bulletproof Monk. Why was it predictable? Because Hollywood always has to have a white guy in the lead in its “Asian” films. Companies don’t believe that Asians can hold down their own movies so they always put whites as the main characters. It’s a sad truth of the institutional racism in the industry. So while you might enjoy some of the action in Bulletproof Monk it will always be undermined by the failures of Hollywood.<br />C

Could've been great but fell back into routine slasher film at end

The 2018 edition of the Halloween franchise had so much potential. It started off so well and then completely fell apart in the end, which was so disappointing.<br /><br />The movie has the perfect start. It reconnects the main players from the first Halloween film via a pair of journalists. First they see Michael Meyers (James Jude Courtney) in a prison for the criminally insane and show him his old mask. The fellow prisoners start going crazy when they see it. Then they go to Laurie Strode’s (Jamie Lee Curtis) home. It’s got a gate, surveillance cameras, and the house is fortified. She was the only survivor of Meyers’ original massacre. She’s never recovered, hence all the security at her place. Then there’s Laurie’s granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) who feels a connection with her, but whose family keeps them apart. Finally, the journalists go through the old reports made by Michael’s first doctor Sam Loomis originally played by Donald Pleasence. He said that Michael needed to die to end his evil. It’s all powerful stuff setting the mood in a new confrontation between Michael and Laurie’s family with the reporters stuck in the middle.<br /><br />The problem with the conclusion wasn’t that it was bad. It was just that it became so routine. It was like every other slasher movie.<br /><br />That pretty much shaped my opinion of the film. It could have been so much more but fell back into the standard serial killer story.<br />C

The right to resist oppression

A group of Chinese laborers is kept at a work camp where they are beaten, tortured and treated like slaves. The story is about their brutal treatment and whether any of them can resist.<br /><br />Most of the film is the workers getting beaten relentlessly.

Those that plot by force are working for evil and will leave a trail of bodies behind them

Throne of Blood was Akira Kurosawa’s version of Macbeth. Some have said it might be the best interpretation of that tale ever made. Just like the original it involves a mad desire for power and revenge.<br /><br />Toshiro Mifune as General Washizu Taketoki and his comrade Akira Kubo as General Miki Yoshiteru come back from a great victory when they run into a forest spirit that tells them they will be promoted, and Washizu will eventually become the overall lord, while Akira’s son will succeed Washizu. The spirit disappears and the two find themselves in an open grave with exposed bones which foreshadows what will come.<br /><br />Right from the start there is some beautiful cinematography by Asakazu Nakai and direction by Kurosawa. the lord’s castle for example is huge and impressive and shrouded with a constant fog adding to its aura. When Washizu and Akira are called to the main castle known as the Spider’s Web they ride through the dense forest during a rainstorm, which sets the mood for when they will later run into the spirit. There is plenty of other great symbolism as well such as a horse gone wild as an ill sign of what will befall its master, a performance about betrayal that capture the plots, and then a constant wind envelopes Washizu’s castle that hints that things are about to change.<br /><br />My favorite scene however might be when Washizu is being cornered by arrows. This was shot using college students shooting real arrows at Mifune with no insurance. Something that would never be done today. It’s really one of the most memorable things you’ll see in a movie.<br /><br />This is really a classic production by Kurosawa that looks beautiful, has an inspired performance by Mifune and Isuzu Yamada as his wife, and a great plot.<br />C

What a good teacher looks like

Stand And Deliver is based upon the true story of East Los Angeles high school math teacher Jaime Escalante played by Edward James Olmos.<br /><br />The movie begins by presenting problems with the urban school Olmos teaches at. There’s a lack of resources, teachers want to quit, and the kids come from working class families which can hinder their education. Olmos enters this environment and says that high expectations can raise student learning. It shows how he connects with the students and uses different methods to connect and teach his kids. As a 20+ year public high school teacher at an urban school I can relate to this story. Kids can do amazing things if you believe in them and support them.

Some light hearted fun

Game Of Killers is a Comedy Kung Fu flick. Two thieves come across a map which a bad guy wants. He sends out his minions to retrieve the map. The comedy comes from the interactions between the two thieves and the get ups of some of the villains. There are two twins that have part of their head shaves and beards cut so that if they joined together they would be one person and another set of twins with one missing the right eye and the other the left along with wearing leopard skin outfits. This version looks like it was copied for a VHS tape onto video. It’s still some lighthearted fun.

Another great romantic-comedy from same producer as Think Like A Man & About Last Night

Think Like A Man Too was the third romantic-comedy film produced by Will Packer. The first film was about men and women figuring out their relationships. The second movie was taking it to the next level and deciding on marriage. It brought together all the same actors Meagan Good as Mya, Romany Malco as Zeke, Gabrielle Union as Kristen, Jerry Ferrara as Jeremy, Gary Owens as Bennett and introduced Wendi McLendon as Tish, Michael Ealy as Dominic, Taraji P. Henson as Lauren, Terrence J. as Michael, Regina Hall as Candace, Kevin Hart as Cedric, and Jenifer Lewis as Loretta.<br /><br />The story focuses upon all the hijinks the characters get into while in Las Vegas and is way more about the comedy than the romance. There are some standout moments like when the men enter into a strip contest which leads to a fight and Candace dealing with Michael’s mother Loretta is always worth a laught. If you liked Think Like A Man or Packer’s other release About Last Night you’ll like this one as well.<br />C

Too much melodrama and some bad acting by Carroll Baker

Affairs and their consequences. Jean-Louis Trintignant is in a loveless marriage so he chases after Carroll Baker but there are repercussions. I can’t tell whether this film reflects the swinging 60s or whether it’s just French people being French. What I did know is that Baker is not a good actress. There were parts where her lines were delivered so stiffly and lifelessly. The intrigue at the end saved the movie because it was getting far too melodramatic for me.

Great cartoon spoof of 50-60s monster movies

Monsters Vs Aliens was another great Dreamworks production. It begins with aliens landing in California and the government creating a team of monsters to fight them. The movie is obviously a take-off of the horror movies of the 1950s-60s that were full of such stories. It has an added element as well, which stems from the monsters all being outcasts. By joining together to fight for the Earth they find value and self-worth.<br /><br />An example of how the movie is an ode to movies of yesteryear the main character Susan is a takeoff of the 50 Foot Woman. She gets hit by an asteroid and on her wedding day grows to enormous size. She’s captured by the government and sent to a super, secret base with other monsters they collected over time. Likewise The Missing Link is from the Creature From The Black Lagoon, Dr. Cockroach is a take of The Fly, B.O.B. was derived from The Blob, and Insectosaurus was from Mothra.<br /><br />Of course this is not a serious monster movie but a play on it full of jokes and comedic moments. Susan also highlights how the characters transform themselves. At first she lives for her fiance’s career. By the end she embraces her size and powers.<br /><br />If you like any of Dreamworks other cartoon movies you will enjoy Monsters vs Aliens.<br />C

Is the prize worth the cost?

The Hustler is a great movie about being beatdown and trying to get back up. Of course that’s being beatdown gambling on pool. That was interesting because it was not how I thought the story would unfold. Paul Newsman is fantastic as the budding pool hustler but you know who really stood out? Piper Laurie as his girlfriend. Even though she was a lush she could see into people’s souls and tell what being a hustler was doing to Newman. This is a true classic.

It's never secure being at the top

All About Eve is about the two sides of the theater. In one scene most of the major characters are talking about how working in the genre is a complete sacrifice because it requires such commitment and hard work. Eve/Anne Baxter adds that there’s a yearning by actors for the adore of the crowd which changes with every performance. On the other hand, the movie reveals how it is a cutthroat business as Eve plots and schemes to become the next star at the cost of Bette Davis the diva of Broadway. She pays a price as well and the ending is VERY ironic.<br /><br />Speaking of Davis she is a force of nature in the film. She demands that everything revolve around her and she has a sharp tongue to make sure it is. She dominates every scene she’s in. It’s quite a performance.

Who can stay innocent when there's violence all around?

This was the second Purge film. The cast is broken up into groups. There are the innocents Carmen Ejogo, Zoe Soul, Zach Gilford, Kiele Sanchez. There’s the warrior Frank Grillo. There are the lower and upper class who partake in the Purge for entertainment. Finally, Michael K. Williams is the revolutionary. It asks who can stay non-violent in such an environment and who will give into anger and revenge?<br /><br />Some parts use horror tropes like Ejogo falling down and not being able to get up when people are chasing her which is annoying. Other times it’s good like when Williams and his people show up to break up a party of the wealthy killing for money. They also hint that the Purge is part of a dark government program but never go into it enough because the main focus is just innocent people being hunted down. It’s not bad for what it is but I still don’t see the big draw of the Purge franchise.
