The insanity of the Third Reich and Nazism

Downfall is about the last few days of the Third Reich in Berlin. It emphasizes how insane Nazi Germany was and what a cult of personality Adolf Hitler created. Things begin with Hitler. It portrays him as half believing that there was still a fight left and knowing he was doomed. Bruno Ganz who played Hitler would be calm one moment and then rant and rave the next. The movie counters a narrative that the German army created after World War II that it was Hitler’s insanity that brought down the Reich. In Downfall it shows all the generals that were with him to the end totally committed to his cause. There are the sycophants and loyalists as well such as Joseph Goebbels the Minister of Propaganda and Albert Speer Minister of Armaments. The most striking part however is the effect upon the common Germans Hitler had. There were so many that believed a final victory was possible even though the end was apparent to everyone. Tons killed themselves because they couldn’t live without their leader. There were also the squads that were killing civilians right up until the very end accusing them of being traitors. It was total madness and that’s the lasting impact of the movie.

A life of crime and love

The Bandit is about how Josh Duhamel lived a life of crime. The movie is all about him. He’s charming, funny and how he pulls jobs can get hilarious. It’s a great ride mixing crime with some comedy and even romance as Duhamel meets Elisha Cuthbert.

You'll feel cheated by the twist at the end

Identity is one of those movies with a big twist that people either love or hate.<br /><br />The movie begins with a psychiatrist going through the files of serial killer Malcolm Rivers. He finds a diary that allows Malcolm to stay his execution to go over his case one more time. Rivers suffers from multiple personalities and recites a story about how he saw a man that wasn’t there. That foreshadows what will happen later on.<br /><br />Then things suddenly flip to something completely different as a number of different people check into a motel. One family suffered an accident and the wife was badly injured. One is a prostitute. One is an actress and her chauffeur. One is a cop with a criminal, and another is a couple. They all get stuck at the motel cut off from the outside world and then people start ending up dead. The twist in the story is how the murderer Rivers is connected to the people in the hotel and it is not what you expect.<br /><br />People who like the film will take about the innovative twist. Those that hate it will feel like they’ve been cheated and that most of what they just watched doesn’t really matter at all. Put me in the latter camp. Even worse is that the twist is revealed 2/3 of the way into the movie and then they continue as if the audience is still supposed to care about the storyline that’s not relevant anymore.<br />C

Zatoichi has to save a village from a friend who'd become a rich businessman

Zatoichi’s Conspiracy starts with the blindman deciding to return to his home village. There he finds that a childhood friend Shinbei has become a rich and successful businessman. Shinbei offers 1,000 ryo to pay off the town’s debts, but it is really a plan to exploit it. It falls upon Zatoichi to stop his plot. Along the way he tries to save a local woman from Shinbei and redeem another who is with a group of ruffians.<br /><br />This Zatoichi film has much more gore and bloodshed than usual. There are a couple men that have their arms and legs cut off and there’s a bunch of gushing blood. The series might have just been trying to keep up with the times as this was common in other movies.<br /><br />Overall, you get your usual fanfare with this release. Zatoichi films had all become formulaic but this time so if you like the franchise you’ll like this one as well.<br />C

Great connection with the movies but with new & original ideas thrown in

Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman featuring Shintaro Katsu was such a hit during the 1960-70s in Japan that it became a TV series running from 1974-79. This is the sixth and final volume of the DVDs featuring the last five episodes.<br /><br />The stories were all original, but they touched on common themes seen in the movies. That included protecting the common people from thieving and murderous Yakuza (gangsters) and corrupt officials. That’s in the first episode (Episode 22 in the series) where Zatoichi comes across a boy that has lost his father and a Yakuza boss who is trying to cheat a businessman out of his money and his daughter. They threw a little twist at things however because the ronin (masterless swordsman) that worked for the boss ended up being the hero in the end, instead of dying at the hands of Zatoichi.<br /><br />These were all reasons why the films and the TV series were hits. Rather than focusing upon the rich samurai and lords that ran Japan Zatoichi always had the common people and their trials and tribulations at the center of the plots. It also had a fair share of action with sword fights and gambling. Zatoichi of course plays part helpful saint and vengeful angel. He’s also a magnet for trouble, which is the reason why he’s a loner. He knows that if he stays somewhere longer than a short stop or truly befriends someone only bad things will befall them, something that's played upon in the last episode.<br /><br />Overall this is a great series. It’s got a familiarity to it for those that know the Zatoichi movies. At the same time it wasn’t just a replay of those flicks with many original ideas thrown in to make it fresh and new, while being linked to the past as well.

Does Hellboy's origins make him evil or will he become the hero everyone expects him to be?

Hellboy was a long running comic book before it was turned into the first in a series of films in 2004. The movie had the perfect mix of director Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman as the big guy. The story was more than just a tale of good and evil, it was about the soul of Hellboy. He was born in a world of evil, but did that make him evil or did his upbringing make him the hero people expected him to be?<br /><br />The film begins with the origins of Hellboy which sets up the theme of the story. During World War II the Nazis were attempting to use the occult to further its quest for world domination. It employed Grigori Rasputin to try to bring forth Ogdru Jahad a monster from another dimension to help Hitler. An American force advised by Trevor Bruttenholm stops them, but not before a door to Ogdru Jahad’s dimension is opened and Hellboy who was a child at the time comes to Earth. Here you have the dilemma of the story. Hellboy comes from Ogdru Jahad’s evil world, but he will be raised as Trevor Bruttenholm and eventually becomes part of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense whose job it was to protect the Earth from beasts. The question was what would be a more powerful force in Hellboy’s future, his origins in an alien universe or his time on Earth? That will be tested in the climax of the story.<br /><br />Del Toro did a great job making the movie focus upon the occult. Grigori Rasputin, his lover Ilsa von Haupstein and henchman Karl Ruprecht Kroenen are a great trio of villains. Rasputin is like a sorcerer, Haupstein is his assistant and Kroenen was a masochist who couldn't stop doing surgery on himself. Rasputin also brings forth a beast named Samael who each time is killed comes back as two more. They were all well played and acted. Rasputin was menacing. Kroenen was creepy. The monster was great. They also lay out an alternative history of World War II where Hitler continued to fight using magic past 1945, which was what led to the creation of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense.<br /><br />Finally, everything wasn’t all serious either. Ron Perlman got to show the sensitive side of his character through his frustrated love affair with Liz Sherman. At one point he covers his room in notes he tried to write to her to explain his feelings. When she shows up he tries to unsuccessfully hide what he’d done, and she ends up going out with agent John Myers. Hellboy follows them and ends up throwing rocks at Myers head while he tries to talk with Liz. T<br /><br />Of the three Hellboy movies made this is hands down THE best one. The dark tone and angle del Toro picked was spot on. Ron Perlman really captured his character. The villains were great. It was the perfect mix.<br />C

Jay Z and his crew were geniuses from the start

What’s so good about this Classic Album series is that it really gets into the creative process behind making a record. Here Jay Z and his producers go into the lyrics and some of the samples and beats used on Reasonable Doubt. There’s one great sequence where Jay explains how he connected two different ideas using one word as a bridge. It really makes you appreciate him as a rapper for everything he thought up so early in his career.

2nd rate story and Cumberbatch is not giving his all

This is the only marvel movie I have not seen in a theater. I’m glad I didn’t because it was disappointing. I put the first Doctor Strange movie on the 2nd tier of Marvel films so the question was whether The Multiverse of Madness would be any better. I have to say it was still second rate. First, Benedict Cumberbatch just seems like he’s reading his lines a lot of times and not putting his all into acting out the role. Second, the story wasn’t that strong. In fact the start of the movie is all about the action and the plot is secondary. Not everything was bad. The CGI effects were outstanding just like the first film. There were some great monsters at the start that looked like they came out of the original Doctor Strange comics. I also liked the cast. It’s always good to see Benedict Wong as Wong. Bruce Campbell got a cameo which is expected since his friend Sam Rami directed the film. Some old and new Marvel characters also showed up in the multiverse that were good to see. Still I put this at the bottom of the Marvel batch of films making it just a regular action movie.

What happened after the civil rights movement? Struggle and change

This DVD comes from the second season of the acclaimed PBS series Eyes On The Prize. This was from the less well known second season and featured the last two episodes “Keyes to the Kingdom (1974-80)” and “Back to the Movement (1979-mid-80s).” This covers the post-civil rights movement. It poses the questions of after the passing of Martin Luther King, and the end of the major marches and major civil rights legislation what came of racism and black rights in America? The answer was a very mixed bag.<br /><br />The DVD has six main stories. The first was the attempt to desegregate the schools in Boston in the 1970s, the second was the election of black mayors, and the third was affirmative action. The first and last stories are directly related because it showed the refusal by white America to follow through with the laws and spirit of the civil rights laws. In Boston for example, the city refused to follow the 1954 Brown vs Board of Education Supreme Court decision that schools had to be integrated. That forced black parents to sue the school district and get a court order to mix the children. This caused huge resentment amongst the white community that exploded into attacks upon buses carrying black children and later a riot outside a high school after a black and white student got into a fight. Listening to the interviews with whites you see that they believed that they were the victims during this entire process. Telling them they had to go to school with blacks was considered not only an insult, but a direct threat to their way of life and they were going to fight it. Similarly when affirmative action was started and universities had to open their doors to more minorities that program faced the same types of criticism and attacks. Again, whites took these policies as an affront and they claimed victimhood even though they had all the power. This exposed America for not standing up to its rhetoric and ideals of a free and democratic society.<br /><br />These conflicts are contrasted to the political victories of the first black mayors in major American cities such as Maynard Jackson in Atlanta and Harold Washington in Chicago. That showed that some politics was opening via electoral politics. More importantly with blacks in power they could start redistributing the state’s resources which had been held exclusively by whites. That raised opposition as well. One Atlanta businessman for example called Mayor Jackson a racist for trying to give contracts to black businesses. Again, changes in a system where whites got everything was considered the problem, not the white power structure. The rhetoric of whites to these changes was the same however. There was fear of blacks taking power and bringing about change.<br /><br />It’s really hard to understand these times even though they were just a few years ago. That’s why documentaries like this are so important. Seeing what happened really brings home what America was going through during this important period and what barriers and struggles still exist to America fulfilling its promise.

Way too predictable plot meant I never bought into story

Mean Season is a predictable movie about a serial killer who calls up journalist Kurt Russell to explain his crimes. Just how predictable is it? At the start of the story it spends all this time on Russell and his girlfriend Mariel Hemingway which means she’ll become a target of the murderer. That ruined everything for me and I could never buy into the film as a result. There’s just no suspense if you know what’s going to happen at the very start.

One of those epic Hollywood films they don't make anymore

Cleopatra is one of those epic Hollywood films they don’t make anymore. The movie is about love and power as the men of Rome, Caesar/Rex Harrison and Mark Anthony/Richard Burton, vie for the hand of Cleopatra/Elizabeth Taylor. This eventually leads Rome to turn on itself. Those three actors all turn in tremendous performances. Taylor especially has the intelligence, will and determination to not only stand up to the two men but manipulate them as well. She is the true politician amongst them. There are signs of old Hollywood throughout the movie as well. The most well known is probably when Taylor shows up in Rome with a huge procession and sitting atop a giant sphinx that passes through a giant Roman gate with an adoring crowd. Today that would’ve all been CGI.

Kevin Bacon is haunted by a demon inside him

The Woodsman is about Kevin Bacon as a child molester who just got released from prison and is afraid he still has a demon inside him that he can’t kick. This haunts him at work as he’s afraid people will find out his secret and it haunts him during the day as he finds himself staring at children. It is a very creepy tale and it definitely seems like this is a lifelong sickness for Bacon. He plays his role with a subtlety.

Part horror story Part comedy Part romance

Let There Be Carnage was a departure from the first Venom film. That was a sci-fi tale focusing upon the excesses of the rich and powerful. Let There Be Carnage was part horror film, part comedy and part love story.<br /><br />The horror part is shown in the two main villains played by Woody Harrelson and Naomi Harris. Harrelson for example is a psychopath. They also represent the romance as the two were separated and yearn to be re-united so they can go on a killing spree. Of the two Harris was by far the more interesting with her own kind of crazy. She also wasn’t just a sidekick.<br /><br />The comedy comes from Venom. In the original picture Tom Hardy was dealing with having Venom inside of him. Here Venom is the main character who wants to be in control. That’s shown in the first scene where Venom wants to bite off the head of a policeman. Venom is also spitting out jokes left and right.<br /><br />Overall this might not have been what people were expecting but it was a good follow up. I enjoyed Venom the jokester.<br /><br />Also watch the post-credit scene. It will show where the series is going. It’s a big surprise.

Three super beings meet in a comic book confrontation.

Three super beings meet in a comic book confrontation.<br /><br />Glass was the culmination of M. Night Shyamalan’s earlier films Unbreakable featuring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson and Split featuring James McAvoy. It is a superhero clash as all three main characters get institutionalized. James McAvoy stars as he gets to show off his acting chops playing all the different personalities Crumb has trapped within him. It’s not until later that Glass gets to emerge. Jackson also gets to play an evil genius instead of the angry man role he usually does. Then in a bit of genius the story unfolds like a comic book.<br /><br />Of course, Shyamalan had to throw in a twist at the end, which was what he was known for, but it wasn’t that big and didn’t distract from the story.<br />C

Celebration of the Maori culture

The Dead Lands is a celebration of the Maori people of New Zealand. It takes place in the past where one tribe destroys one of their old rivals. Hongi (James Rollerston) is the only male survivor and vows revenge. The film highlights the warrior culture of the Maori, their environment and their gods.<br /><br />You get the three themes of the movie right at the start. There’s the love of warfare. The spirits of the ancestors that provide wisdom to the living. There is a monster. There are some great scenes of the mountains and forests of the country that shaped the lives of the Maori. There’s also plenty of action that comes along as well especially when Hongi teams up with the Warrior (Lawrence Makoarea) who gets to kick some serious butt.<br /><br />Overall The Dead Lands is a very strong release.

The greatest season of the greatest TV show ever about how the system is failing America

Season 4 was the last great season of HBO’s The Wire, widely considered the greatest TV show EVER. Created by David Simon and Ed Burns the series used Baltimore as a metaphor for the problems facing urban America. Each season had a theme, and in Season 4 that was education. It might be the best of all the seasons.<br /><br />The main story was about four high school boys Michael, Namond, Randy and Dukie. They all go to middle school together where former cop Prez - Pryzbylewski is a brand new teacher. The ridiculousness of the situation is shown during the professional development meeting with the teachers before the year starts. The presenter talks about how teacher’s always need to be positive. Half the teachers are on their phones and eventually some get sick of the presentation and start complaining about how unrealistic it is compared to what educators face in a typical urban school. When class starts most of his kids are below grade level and can’t handle the curriculum. He asks the older teachers what’s the point of teaching kids things they can’t handle and he’s told he has to because the federal tests are coming up and the school could be taken over if they don’t pass it. It’s a numbers game for the government which doesn’t care about how the kids are doing, and that trickles down into the schools. Prez's time in a traditional classroom setting is compared to Bunny Colvin, an ex-police officer who sets up an alternative school for troubled kids. The program actually looks like it might work, but again runs into the administration that is not interested in anything but the numbers. The show poses the question whether the system works for children. Whether in a traditional or an alternative setting can kids get an effective education in an urban environment?<br /><br />There are other important themes going on as well. The police are using wire taps to go after the new drug lord in the city Marlo Stansfield. As usual, it’s the low level cops that are trying to do their job, while facing opposition from the higher ups and the system. This was part of the long running theme that the war on drugs was all smoke and mirrors. All politicians and the police higher ups cared about was statistics to show that they were doing something, while doing nothing. They wanted arrest numbers for example, even though that had no impact on the problem.<br /><br />Another storyline is Baltimore politics. First, there’s the dirty game of politics for the mayor, and then when the underdog Tommy Carcetti wins and promises reforms. He runs into the all the institutional powers in the city from the ministers, to the police, to others. Again, the question is raised of whether politicians actually care about the city or just power.<br /><br />What made The Wire success wasn’t just the stories which broke down major issues in American society it was the amazing characters. There are so many it would take forever to break them all down, but just take Omar. A gay gangster who robbed drug dealers. In episode 3 it shows him waking up with his lover, finding there’s no cereal, so he goes down to the corner store to buy some. As he walks down the street all the corner boys selling dope yell out his name and run off. When he stops to smoke a cigarette people are so afraid of him that they throw their drugs out the window to him. He is a totally unique character you never saw in any other show.<br /><br />The overall message of the show during every season, but most poignantly made in season 4 was that system is failing America, and that is especially true in the country’s cities, and with the poor and minorities. The Wire delivered this message again and again, and not in a preachy way either, but in the most intriguing and entertaining way possible. It made you think like no other show ever seen.

It's SOOO bad

During this period every Batman film came with a new Bruce Wayne. This time it was George Clooney’s turn. I’m not sure that was the best casting because I didn’t buy him as either the playboy millionaire or the crime fighter. That was just the start of the many things that did not work in Batman & Robin.<br /><br />The opening scene of Batman and Robin/Chris O’Donnell facing off against Mr. Freeze for instance looks like it was an ice capades production. Some of the special effects were just as bad like some really klutzy wire work. There are others that were meant to be campy but it had such a bad start it just added to the downfall of this film.<br /><br />On the other hand, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze is the only saving grace.

Love and anti-colonialism drive The Mummy

Early on Hammer Films established itself for three major horror franchises. One of them was the Mummy which began with this film. It featured Hammer’s two mainstays Peter Cushing as an Egyptologist and Christopher Lee as the Mummy. Like other films by the company it’s not scary at all. It’s all about developing the story and the characters. Here they spend a lot of time on Egyptian mythology to set up the history of the mummy and why it came back to life. I liked at the end that the plot came to focus upon Egyptians attempting to stop the English from stealing their history and the mummy being driven by love. All together it made for a good old school monster movie.

This was the start of my teen years being part of the East Bay Metal scene

This movie brought back so many memories. I was part of the Bay Area scene that was included in the film in the early 1980s. They had a whole segment on Ruthie’s Inn. I spent every weekend there. Some of the Bay Area bands included I knew and used to hang out with. There’s Ron Quintana who had a college radio metal show on KUSF from the University of San Francisco that I listened to every weekend. Of course it’s not just about the Bay Area scene they include Los Angeles and New York City and bands like Megadeath and Anthrax up to more current ones in the early 2000s. There’s a lot of good interviews, pictures and flyers. It’s just amazing for someone that grew up during that period.

Raq look at the New York Dolls

This is a unique film because it’s not a traditional documentary. A couple followed around the New York Dolls and filmed their concerts, interviewed them, and went to events with them and then made it into All Dolled Up. That means there’s not the traditional talking head after talking head. It’s just the band in the raw doing whatever they wanted. The best parts are all the performances. You get a real sense of what the band was like and why they were such an influence on the New York music scene which was turning towards Punk and Alternative at the end of the band’s career.

At the top of their game

This comedy concert film had the perfect line-up. That’s because each performer was better than the next. Steve Harvey warms up the crowd and acts as the MC. Then D.L.

Women finding themselves

Angela Bassett burning her husband’s clothes and car is probably what Waiting To Exhale is most known for. It’s about four women, Bassett, Whitney Houston, Lela Rochon, and Loretta Devine who are frustrated with men. Bassett for example was cheated on. Rochon compromises her standards, etc. The best part about the movie is that it doesn’t have your stereotypical Hollywood ending. That’s largely because it ends with the women feeling happy about themselves and empowered. I’d like to say more about that but it would spoil things.

Uninteresting and meandering story

This movie has a meandering story. The movie is about Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff being magicians but it largely goes nowhere. Even the jokes don’t really work.

It was a lot of fun

I was so happy after seeing this film when it came out. The first Spider-Man Homecoming captured the teenage spirit of the Peter Parker character. Far From Home however was really disappointing because the writing was so bad. This was back on track.<br /><br />It was actually a take-off of the animated Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse with SPOILER ALERT different characters from the Sony Spider-Man releases appearing. This was the best part seeing all these old heroes and villains appear on the screen once again. People were cheering in the theater when I saw it.<br /><br />There were other surprises as well like Charlie Cox showing up. If you don’t know his role in the MCU look it up! The jokes were on point even down to the little things like having a washer and dryer in the basement of Dr. Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum. The theme was also about Parker having to grow up which fit in with the famed quote “With great power comes great responsibility.” Parker was finally figuring out what that meant.<br /><br />Everything was just a lot of fun.

Good disaster-environmental apocalypse movie

The Day After Tomorrow is an environmental apocalypse film where the northern hemisphere freezes over due to climate change . Dennis Quaid as scientist Jack Hall predicted the catastrophe but nobody in Washington listened to him. His son Sam played by Jack Gyllenhaal gets trapped in New York City by the snow. Dr. Hall sets out to rescue him.<br /><br />Like so many similar movies when Dr. Hall warns the world about the coming threat politicians ignore him talking about the immediate costs and ignoring the future. While this is a common trope, it’s also based upon reality. You can just look at America’s on again off again stance towards global warming in real life for an example.<br /><br />The core of the film is part disaster story part survivalist tale as Sam and his friends struggle to keep warm hiding out in New York City’s library while Jack tries to reach him. Sometimes the writers go a little overboard such as when Sam and his friends run into a bunch of wolves. On the other hand there’s a great twist as Americans flee to Mexico crossing the border illegally to try to escape the coming winter.<br /><br />Overall, The Day After Tomorrow is an enjoyable movie.<br />C

Classic neo-Noir of LA's rich and water history but the pacing is very slow

Chinatown was Roman Polanski’s venture into a neo-Film Noir. It featured Jack Nicholson as private detective Jake Gittes and Faye Dunaway as Eveyln Cross Mulwray. What starts off as an investigation into a murder turns into a tale of the rich and powerful in Los Angeles; their excesses and their development of the city.<br /><br />The film begins with Gittes getting a job to investigate a Mrs. Mulwray’s husband for cheating. He was the chief engineer of the Los Angeles War Department. He’s later found dead, and not only that but the woman that hired Gittes wasn’t Mrs. Mulwray. Gittes knows he’s been set up and starts working for the real Mrs. Mulwray to see what happened to her husband. That leads to the theme of the film.<br /><br />Chinatown was loosely based upon Los Angeles’ water history. LA was a quickly growing city in the 1900s but lacked enough water to maintain its population. It had to build a giant aqueduct from the Sierra Nevadas all the way to southern California to feed its thirst. This was done by hook and by crook and that’s included in Chinatown. Gittes investigation leads to farmland being bought up and the millionaire Noah Cross played by John Huston . He represents the oligarchs behind the aqueduct and their wheeling and dealing. There’s an added twist about the rich as well at the very end.<br /><br />Polanski and writer Robert Towne used the common Noir trope of a man up against the indominable system and the rich. That was Gittes’ situation.<br /><br />The problem with Chinatown was the pacing. It was very slow moving. Most of the film is one little piece of evidence being revealed after another. I would have appreciated some action or something else thrown in there instead of having to wait so long for the reveal at the end. Otherwise the film is very good. It has an important message and reveals part of Los Angeles’ history.<br />C

John Wick will go down as one of the great action series of the modern times

Of the two John Wick films released this is the one with the most story to it. It begins with a flash from the end of the movie and then goes back in time. The thing holding the two time periods together are Wick’s, played by Keanu Reeves, wife, Helen Wick played by Bridget Moynahan. She died young and that haunted John who was already a hardened assassin, but had retired for her. He’s bleeding profusely at the start and takes out his phone to look at a video of his wife. Then the next scenes from the past recount Helen’s death. The only thing he has to remember her by besides the videos is a dog that she sends him posthumously. That dog will set up the entire story when the son of a Russian gangster, Michael Nyqvist as Viggo Tarasov the father and Alfie Allen as the son Iosef Tarasov, breaks into Wick’s house to steal his car and kills the dog. Wick then becomes obsessed with exacting revenge because not only was his home violated, but so was the memory of his wife when the puppy was murdered. Even though these scenes are a short part of the overall film they effectively set up the sense of loss that Wick is feeling and his anger at what the Russians did and propel the rest of the story. Especially powerful is the close up of Wick lying next to the dead puppy both of them bloodied and beaten.<br /><br />The rest of the movie is great stylized action scenes as Wick seeks his revenge against the Russia mob that is protecting Iosef. You might think this is all just gunplay but it actually has a point of building up the legend of John Wick, the Baba Yaga or boogeyman that he is known as in his professional life as an assassin. As Viggo explains he once killed three men in a bar with a pencil. Wick goes from one extreme scene to another cutting his way through an endless sea of nameless henchmen whose only worth is to be cut down by Wick. It’s just an amazing sequence of events.<br /><br />Along the way the viewer is introduced to the world of assassins that live by a code, follow specific rules and even have a hotel, the Continental in Manhattan where they stay out while doing jobs. At the top is Winston played by Ian McShane who owns the Continental. He is a friend of John’s and attempts to give him words of advice even though sometimes they’re ignored.<br /><br />Reeves has a really stiff acting style which actually plays perfectly for the John Wick character. He’s a loner, he’s hurt, he’s angry, he wants revenge and these elements all play right into Reeves’ strengths.<br /><br />Overall John Wick will go down as one of the great action series of recent times.

Successful female Western-action flick that doens't take itself seriously

Bandidas is about two Mexican women Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz attempting to exact revenge and stop Americans from seizing their country’s land. The villain is played by Dwight Yoakam who is the perfect gringo. He has an evil look and a greasy personality to boot. Much of the movie has a light touch and jokes. For example there’s a running line about who kisses better with Steven Zahn being the beneficiary of their competition. Most importantly this is a western action movie with two women leads which really works and doesn’t take itself seriously all the time. This is something Hollywood rarely achieves.

Sandler realizes what he's missing in life

Adam Sandler plays the middle class everyman in Click. He’s overworked, doesn’t have enough time for his family and his boss David Hasselhoff is a jerk. It seems like his life is going nowhere when he gets a universal remote that lets him control everything from people to his dog. He can fast forward things, turn down the volume, etc. It’s like his dreams have come true. It’s an obvious comedy but it also borrows elements of A Christmas Carol and It’s A Wonderful Life. Sandler goes through the past and future and sees what he’s missing. He also gets to lay down his usual wisecracks for laughs. The best part is how he makes fun of the neighbor’s kid who is always bragging about the latest thing his parents bought him. It’s one of Sandler’s better movies.

Has lots of emotional content to make it not your usual gangster story but maybe too much crying

Gon (Jang Dong-Gun) is a hitman in Los Angeles. During a job he mistakenly kills a little girl and falls apart because of it. He’s then told he has to go to Korea and kill the girl’s mother Choi Mogeyong (Kim Min-Hee) adding to his sense of guilt.<br /><br />The movie would seem like it would be a crime movie but there’s actually a lot of time spent on Mogyeong grieving over her daughter. Because Gon is so broken up about what he did he feels for Mogyeong and even suffers with her. This is supposed to give emotional weight to the story and make it not your usual gangster flick. That works to an extent but there might just be one too many crying scenes.

An adventure story for kids and adults alike

Goonies is a kids’ treasure hunt. Sean Astin finds a map and takes his friends upon an underground adventure in search of pirate gold. Like any good treasure hunt there are clues and traps and plenty of danger.

This is one of those movies that can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.

It's a fun story even though it's not really funny

Bill Murray gets mistaken for someone else and caught up in the middle of an espionage comedy. It’s actually not that funny and yet it kept my interest because I wanted to see what kind of hijinks Murray got into. One moment he’s in a high speed chase in a mini-cooper and the next he’s doing Russian dancing. It’s definitely a fun story even though I didn’t really laugh. Murray is great as the witless lead character who just goes with each situation he’s in thinking it’s all just a game.

Black Power group takes on white criminals while dressing like the SS

Believe it or not but in the 1970s there was a short burst of Nazi exploitation films. This mixed that with the Blaxploitation trend. The movie is about a black power group in Watts taking on a white crime syndicate. The group was obviously inspired by the Black Panthers with the uniforms and berets. They get to stick it to The Man in the process with plenty of scenes of them beating up and killing crooks. That was the reason why audiences enjoyed these movies. The title comes from the fact that the militant leadership eventually starts wearing Nazi era hats.

Bizarre tale of revenge like you've never seen Unless you saw the original that is

This was Spike Lee’s remake of the 2003 South Korean classic thriller by Park Chan Wook. I have to admit I have not seen the original so I can’t compare the two versions. This movie featured Josh Brolin as Joe Doucett an ambitious and sleezy advertising executive who is also a delinquent dad. After a failed business deal and heavy drinking he wakes up in a locked room trapped inside for 20 years. Thus begins one of the most insane stories of revenge put to film.<br /><br />To say that Oldboy was a bizarre tale would be an understatement. The main theme is the psychological torture and manipulation of Doucett. During his captivity he’s framed for a crime and kept for so long that he starts going crazy. Even after he’s released he’s still being played like a puppet. He seeks to know why he was imprisoned which leads to a major act that can’t be described without being a huge spoiler but it is insane and the ultimate form of payback.<br /><br />Oldboy was a commercial flop when it was released in the movie theaters so not many people have seen it. All I can say that it is nothing like you’ve experienced before with the big caveat again that I have not seen the South Korean original which is supposed to be even better.<br />C

Appreciated this alternative take on a rom-com

Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg are getting a divorce but they are still together nearly every day as if nothing is happening. As their friend Ari Graynor yells at them, what the hell are they doing? That’s what Celeste and Jesse Forever explores. The two express a range of emotions for each other from love to remorse to doubt and more. I’m a fan of Jones so I was happy to see her in a leading role. She gets strung out towards the end and is really funny. I also appreciated the tunes used in the soundtrack. My one complaint is that there’s a side story about a pop star Emma Roberts working with Jones which I thought was extraneous. Otherwise enjoyed this.

Great follow up to Wrath of Khan

Search For Spock is a direct follow up to Star Trek The Wrath of Khan. Spock has just died, a new planet has been born with the genesis device, and Captain Kirk and crew along with some Klingons led by Christopher Lloyd of all people are searching for what happened afterward. it’s always nice to see some blood thirsty Klingons in these movies.<br /><br />The story plays out exactly like an episode from the original Star Trek TV series. Kirk breaks the rules, ends up in a hopeless situation and finds his way out of it. What is missing is much of the banter between the crew members. Bones does get one great line about always beating Spock in debates.<br /><br />Leonard Nimoy also directed the film.<br /><br />It was a great follow up to The Wrath Of Khan.

Will one friend drag down the other over a debt and poker?

Rounders is about two friends in a tough situation. Mike (Matt Damon) is a law student who loves poker. Worm (Edward Norton) is a hustler just out of prison who has a large debt. He thinks that together they can make enough money to get him out of trouble. The story is about whether Mike has the skills to win and whether Worm’s scheming will get them killed.<br /><br />Norton does a great job playing a slimeball. He’s a person his own mother wouldn’t trust. The other stand out is Martin Landau as Abe Petrovsky a judge and mentor to Mike. He tries get Mike to focus upon the big picture instead of the immediate situation he’s in. The poker is also fun to watch. It all makes for a great combination and an effective story.<br /><br />C

Out of a mass of male egos Christian Bale shines

Ford v Ferrari is about the egos of men as expressed out on the racetrack. There’s the working class driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) who can’t keep his garage open, but who can drive like hell. There’s Carroll Shelby (Matt Domon) who used to be a professional driver until his heart forced him to quit. He still had that drive to go fast however, and became a car designer. Then there’s the money men Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) and Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts) of Ford Motor Company. Iacocca has the idea for Ford to get into the European racing circuit using Shelby and Miles to expand the brand and capture the imagination of the Baby Boomers. These four male ego fueled the story. The title comes from the fifth ego involved Enzo Ferrari (Remo Girone). He was broke and turned down an offer for Ford to buy controlling interest in his company. His ego wouldn’t allow the Americans to move in on his business, which fueled Iacocca and Ford’s desire to beat him on the racetrack. The whole movie is about the male ID.<br /><br />Right at the start you see how male ego is involved. Ferrari not only turned down Ford’s offer, but called the company’s executives sons of whores, Henry Ford II a fat, pigged headed wanna be who was not his father. The insults drive Ford to move into the race car business.<br /><br />Christian Bale really steals the movie. He’s angry, eccentric, and wants everything to be absolutely perfect. He blows off all the executives at Ford. That causes him all kinds of problems. He’s an iconoclast he leads to the only laughs in what is supposed to be a serious movie.<br /><br />I wasn’t sure I was going to like this but Bale won me over and the races are exciting.<br />C

Ridiculous love story ruins everything

This movie is set during the Revolutionary War in Massachusetts. Burt Lancaster is a pacifist local priest, Kirk Douglas is a rebel and Laurence Olivier is the British General Burgoyne. The movie has an interesting start as it shows most people being loyalists to the British crown when things are upset by Douglas’ father being hung. Douglas is the most interesting character as he’s a jokester. Olivier also has his moments making off hand comments about his officers especially Harry Andrews. The problem with the movie is that they add a ridiculous love story when Lancaster’s wife falls for Douglas. It is so bad it defies words. On top of that Lancaster is rather dull and then suddenly goes through a dramatic transformation at the end. That’s just as unbelievable as the romance.

Great start then story really drags in this period piece art film

The assassin is a historical art film set in 8th Century China featuring Shu Qi who is a daughter in a wealthy family who was also trained as a killer. There are some fantastic shots of nature, long silences for periods of reflection in between which are a few action sequences. It has an outstanding beginning as it’s shot in black and white symbolizing the world Qi lives in where she does what she’s told and there’s no questioning. It then becomes colorized hinting that everything will dramatically change in her future. After that however I thought the movie really dragged. The story developed too slowly and you can only have so many silent scenes. I gave it 3 stars because it's beautiful to look at.

Spoof of oceanography & nature documentaries with missiont to kill a shark for revenge

Life Aquatic was another quirky comedy featuring Wes Anderson with some of his favorite actors that he’d worked with before such as Bill Murray as Steve Zissou, Owen Wilson as Ned Pimpton, and Anjelica Huston as Eleanor Zissou. The movie is a spoof of Jacques Cousteau who was a famed French oceanography with Zissou hoping to hunt down a shark and kill it even though it’s an endangered species.<br /><br />As usual everything is delivered in deadpan style. Zissou for instance has a release for his latest documentary on the exotic shark but all it shows is him talking about how one of his crew was killed by the animal. Someone in the audience asks if he got a pictures of the shark to which Zissou says no because he dropped the camera. He then tells the audience he’s going to hunt down the shark and kill it for revenge. A bold and ridiculous statement.<br /><br />The movie covers various travels of Zissou’s trip like getting raided by pirates, having his interns quit and running out of money. There are all kinds of goofy things as well such as Zissou having a pet killer whale and having dolphins with cameras attached to their heads go along with their voyage but they don’t listen to Zissou’s team. Again this fits in with Anderson’s style.<br /><br />Wes Anderson movies are not for everyone. They are very low key and sometimes meander but they can be ridiculous in a good way and funny. If you do like his style however Life Aquatic is another great addition to his filmography.

The South Greek Mythology Folktunes and the Cohen Brothers make for an engaging mix

O Brother appeared as a crime comedy featuring three escaped convicts from a Mississippi chain gang, Ulysses (George Clooney), Pete (John Turturro), and Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson). They go through all kinds of hijinks while on the run. Many of those events are actually based upon the Greek story The Odyssey hence Clooney’s name Ulysses is the main character in Homer’s story. Other parts are based upon southern folklore. Those two inspirations tie together. Those stories are all about struggle and the wrath of god(s), which is what O Brother is about.<br /><br />Life in the South during the Great Depression is a major theme. Ulysses, Pete and Delmar start off on a chain gang one of the iconic images of crime and punishment in the South. Blues guitarist Tommy Johnson (Chris Thomas King) ends up joining them. He sold his soul to the devil to be a successful musician. That’s based upon the famous story of Blues guitarist Robert Johnson making a deal with the devil at the Crossroads. Another time they run into Baby Face Nelson (Michael Badalucco) who was a famous bank robber a crime that became synonymous during the Depression with the likes of Nelson and Bonnie and Clyde. They also find themselves at a Ku Klux Klan rally who want to lynch Tommy. Finally, they expose a budding politician as being a Klansman. Racism ran the south. The KKK terrorized African Americans that crossed the color line and killed hundreds. Politicians were also members of the Klan and even if not were ardent supporters of segregation to keep blacks down.<br /><br />There are other parts that are about The Odyssey and the Gods. When Ulysses, Pete and Delmar ask Tommy Johnson what the Devil looked like he said he was a white man with a big dog. That man is chasing the three down to hang them for escaping. One day they come across Big Dan (John Goddman) who has only one eye. He is the cyclops from The Odyssey. Three women singing bewitch the men. They represent the Sirens who used their voices to draw sailors to their deaths.<br /><br />There’s also the famous singing as Ulysses, Pete, Delmar and Tommy pose as the Soggy Bottom Boys and record a record which becomes a hit. They also perform at a political rally.<br /><br />All together it mixes the south with mythology and the Cohen Brothers quirky story telling in an original and engaging story.<br />C

Very disappointing release for what is supposed to be the last X-Men movie of this run

X-Men Dark Phoenix was a disappointing release.<br /><br />First, the story. Things start in 1975 when a very young Jean Grey becomes frustrated and releases her powers which leads to a car accident and the death of her mother. Charles Xavier ends up at the hospital telling her that her parents died and that he could offer her a new home where she could be special with her powers and be safe. That opening scene is important because it will play out at the end as well asking the question can Grey control her powers or do they control her?<br /><br />Things then flip to 1992 where the X-Men are called upon by the president of the United States to save a space shuttle that has run into solar flares. The flares turn out to be a space entity that enters into Grey and boosts her powers to uncontrollable levels. She realizes that and tries to leave, but Xavier is insistent that she stay. That leads her to battle her former teammates and the government chasing after her, which means bad things for all mutants. As usual, humans shun what they see as different. Just the day before everyone was praising the X-Men for saving the astronauts on the shuttle and then the next they fear the mutant powers and want to police them.<br /><br />Things take a twist when some aliens show up that want the alien entity for themselves and attempt to manipulate Grey.<br /><br />So now that you know the plot here are the problems.<br /><br />Number one. In X-Men Apocalypse Jean Grey showed her phoenix powers in the climax of the battle with Apocalypse, even displaying the flaming bird behind her. Now this movie is trying to say that the Phoenix was actually an alien force that just entered her in 1992? They make this connection explicit in the finale where again, the flaming bird phoenix emerges out of Grey. This is something that the casual viewer probably didn’t catch and is more for Marvel nerds.<br /><br />What is far more important is that there are too many scenes with no payoff. That’s highlighted by the climax battle at the end. Grey unleashes her phoenix power, all the bad guys get wiped out and that’s it. Grey has so much power winning is an ease. It lacked any tension, excitement or dynamism. You watch it and ask yourself, is that it? Was that the best that they could do? This is unfortunately the feeling you have when you walk out of the theater as the whole movie leaves you unfulfilled.

It's a must see if you love Film Noir

Out Of The Past is a classic Film Noir starring Robert Mitchum. It has lots of classic tropes of Noir from Mitchum being a detective who wears a trench coat and does a Hard Boiled type voice over commentary to Jan Greer as a Femme Fatale. There’s plenty of snappy dialogue as well. They even get carried away a bit such as when Mitchum is campaign in the Sierra Nevada’s of California and he STILL has his trench coat on! Plots, double crosses, betrayal they’re all there which is why this is a must see if you love Noir.

3rd installment of the Bourne series still bringing the action & intrigue to the spy thriller

Jason Bourne movies were created as a new take on the spy thriller genre popularized by James Bond which had gone sour before the arrival of Daniel Craig. Like 007 Bourne became highly popular and started a new franchise with this being the third movie in the series. IN this one Bourne was still looking into the Treadstone program that made him an assassin. He runs into an overzealous CIA Agent Noah Vosen (David Strathaim) that is running an expansion of Treadstone and who wants to kill everyone that comes into contact with Bourne.<br /><br />Like the good movies in the franchise this one is full of intrigue as Bourne and the CIA are playing cat and mouse with each other. All of the action is also highly stylized and choreographed and very well done.<br /><br />Overall Bourne did breathe new life into the spy game.<br />C

A nerdy tale of love

This was a Kevin Smith movie and if you know him you can instantly tell. For instance, there’s tons of talk about comic books. Stan Lee even shows up and dishes out some great words of wisdom. Of course, Smith as Silent Bob and Jason Mewes as Jay are also characters. The story itself is about Jason Lee and Jeremy London trying to deal with their girlfriends who broke up with them. The writing is definitely nerdy and malecentric. A young Ben Affleck is the bad guy wearing a suit about 2 times too big for him. It’s fun.

Dilemma faced by good cop posing as a mobster while a crook plays a good officer

The Departed was Martin Scorsese’s adaptation of the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs. The gist of the stories are the same with an undercover cop going to work for a mobster and a cop working for that same gangster. I saw both films in a theater and I have to say that Scorsese created a much richer plot. The crook in question is Frank Costello (Frank Nicholson) based upon the real Boston mobster Whitey Bulger. The two police officers are Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon). The film is about the costs the job takes upon the two cops.<br /><br />The movie begins by contrasting the two main characters. Sullivan was a good kid who was discovered by Costello when he young and looked out for him. He went into the state troopers and became a detective working for Costello all the time. He’s assigned to a unit led by Captain George Ellerby (Alec Baldwin) to take down Costello. Costigan on the other hand grew up a troubled child with a bunch of relatives who were small time crooks. He too joined the state police and joined a special unit under Captain Oliver Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Sergeant Sean Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) that do undercover work. Costigan would infiltrate the Costello gang. Here you have two exact opposites that continued to take different paths in life. The good kid that became a crook and a troubled one that was a good cop. It adds depth to the story because you would expect the opposite to happen to each.<br /><br />One sign of how good the plot was in The Departed was that the supporting characters walked away with every scene they were in. Sgt. Dignam for example was foul mouthed and did nothing but throw insults at every person he met. He was hilarious. Cpt. Ellerby had some great lines as well. They added a light mood to what is otherwise a serious crime film.<br /><br />DiCaprio’s performance here is one of his best. He becomes completely torn by his undercover job. You can see the toll it’s taking on his face and by the desperation in some of his acts. He stands out amongst a powerhouse cast.<br /><br />Overall it’s a great film with great characters and a great ending to the dilemma that Costigan and Sullivan face.<br />C

Incredibles return to question gender roles and unintended consequences of super heroes

The first Incredibles had two important themes. The first it flipped the classic super hero story and turned it on its head. Instead of being about the supers doing their thing, it was about them being robbed of that life and trying to deal with their alter egos as regular people. That was also a critique of the middle class American lifestyle and it found it wanting.<br /><br />Incredibles 2 starts when the first left off with the Underminer attacking the city. This one also has two themes. The first is about the equality of the sexes as Elastigirl is picked to promote the return of the supers that had been outlawed which creates a huge amount of jealousy on the part of Mr. Incredible. That also allows a play upon the gender roles in society as Elastigirl is out getting all the fame fighting crime while Mr. Incredible has to be a stay out home dad and struggles mightily in that function. The second theme is about the unintended consequences of super heroing. The rich duo of Winston and Evelyn Deavoer lost their parents to thieves because they called a super instead of the police while they were being robbed. Evelyn never forgave the super hero community for their deaths. That issue is brought up right at the start of the movie as the city blames the Incredibles for all the destruction that occurred with the fight with the Underminer, and tell them they should have done nothing rather than taken action against the villain.<br /><br />Incredibles 2 plays upon a lot of the dynamics of the first one as well. There’s the Incredibles’ family with Violet thinking about boys, Dash wanting to show off, and Jack Jack coming into his powers. There’s plenty of comedy s well. For example when Jack Jack chases after a racoon in the backyard and comes out with all his different powers like phasing through objects and laser eyes is hilarious. Of course, the action is top notch as well.<br /><br />This was a fitting sequel to the original Incredibles. It was still fresh and original and great fun to watch.<br />C

You have to ignore the plot to enjoy this film

Line Of Duty has a completely unbelievable plot. Aaron Eckhart plays a cop running around the city with an Internet newscaster Courtney Eaton trying to find the police chiefs daughter who has been kidnapped. The story doesn’t even matter because it’s just an excuse for Eckhart to run around the city on foot and in cars and shoot guns and beat people up, etc. You have to suspend your sense of reality to enjoy Line Of Duty and just watch the action.

More Japanese exploitation featuring Reiko Ike

Female Yakuza tale was the follow up to Sex & Fury. Both were Japanese period piece exploitation movies released by Toei. Both starred Reiko Ike who specialized in this genre known as pink films meaning they had sex and nudity in them.<br /><br />In both films Ike played Ocho Inoshika, a woman involved in the Yakuza (gangster) life. Like the first movie this one has an opening sequences where Ocho slays a group of attackers with her sword while getting naked in the process. This titillating content is what made these movies big in Japan at the time.<br /><br />Things get crazier from there. Ocho enters a new city where she is kidnapped, sexually assaulted by a gang that thinks she’s hiding drugs in her privates, and then framed for murder. She has to get herself out of trouble while escaping the police.<br /><br />This is what you get, a mix of action, sex and intrigue. Much of it, especially the sex, is way over the top. If you like exploitation then you’ll like Female Yakuza.<br /><br />I also have to note the very slick packaging this DVD came in. It's a clear case with the graphics pasted on. Makes it look very nice and original.

SPECTRE tries to play UK against the Soviets for its own ends

From Russia With Love was the second James Bond movie and was released after the success of Dr. No. It expanded upon the threat of SPECTRE a secret crime and terrorist organization that worked secretly during the Cold War unbeknownst to the world. That is until James Bond discovered it. The story was based upon an Ian Flemming book of the same title and showed the strengths and weaknesses of his writing and the screen writers.<br /><br />The movie starts with Bond (Sean Connery) being sent to Turkey when British intelligence MI6 is informed that a secretary named Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) at the Soviet embassy there wants to turn over a super-secret code machine called the Lektor. It turns out SPECTRE is behind the whole thing and wants to play the British and Soviets against each other.<br /><br />From Russia From Love had some of what would become the mainstays of the Bond films. First, there were beautiful Bond women. Besides Romanova there was Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) who was in Dr. No, and two gypsy women Zora (Martine Beswick) who would return in the Thunderball movie and Vida (Aliza Gur). When Bond gets his assignment from his boss M (Bernard Lee) he flirted with the secretary Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell). He also got his first gadgets from Q (Desmond Llewelyn) which included a collapsible sniper rifle and a briefcase that included money and a gas bomb if it wasn’t opened correctly. Of course, when Bond arrives in Istanbul he gets involved in all kinds of espionage and action and SPECTRE has sent Red Grant (Robert Shaw) to make sure their plan works.<br /><br />Here is the one drawback of the movie and it has its origins with the original From Russia With Love book. Ian Flemming was a British imperialist and racist. That led him to include all kinds of racist stereotypes about non-whites in his writing and that carried over to the film. When Bond is in Turkey he goes to a gypsy camp where two women have a fight over a man. This was to imply that the gypsies weren’t quite civilized.<br /><br />Overall, From Russia With Love is a very good Bond film. This was when the series was still fresh and brand new to the public. Still I would put it a bit below my two favorite Bond movies Dr. No and Goldfinger.<br />C

Interesting start but lost interest and colorization was horrible

The first thing that strikes you about this version of Beat the Devil is the poor colorization. People look pink. and the colors bleed into each other. Why anyone thought this was a good job must have been color blind. It’s so horrible it’s hard to watch.<br /><br />The story itself is about a group of swindlers led by Humphrey Bogart who run into an English couple played by Jennifer Jones and Eward Underdown. They go on an adventure from Italy to North Africa with everyone hatching plots against the others. It had an interesting start but I lost interest eventually. There are various attempts to be funny but they mostly fell flat.

Totally original sci-fi film that also comments on South Africa's racist past

District 9 was an original and innovative science fiction movie made by director Neill Blomkamp. The story revolves around Sharlto Copley as Wikus van de Merwe. He is a bumbling employee at the Multinational United (MNU) in charge of alien affairs in Johannesburg South Africa. Several years ago an alien ship parked itself over the city. Thousands of aliens in very poor shape were found inside and settled in a camp run by MNU. Wikus gets infected by an alien substance that transforms him. On top of the alien story, the movie also plays upon South Africa’s racist history with the aliens being treated like the black population used to be under apartheid.<br /><br />The movie is a great mix of sci-fi and action. The aliens were very original. They looked like walking bugs. Once Wikus is on the run he gets to blowing things up and using alien technology.<br /><br />Another thing that made District 9 so good was the story. It was completely unexpected. One moment Wikus is trying to evict the aliens and the next moment he’s turning into one. The story also has a twist about what he finds out about the aliens, and the ending was very bitter sweet.<br /><br />The was also the messaging. The aliens in the camp mirrored South African Apartheid. It was a giant shanty town with a wall around it and heavily policed by armed guards that had no problem shooting down an alien if they did anything wrong. There was a special unit that was sent in when there was trouble that was known for their abusive tactics. There were signs all over Johannesburg saying no aliens were allowed in any public space. They were called prawns to denigrate them. The mistreatment led to riots by the aliens. These all happened under apartheid. The aliens symbolized how blacks were formerly treated under the racist South African government. Like the aliens they were not considered humans. They were separated from society and told they didn’t belong. Their lives were not valued, and the authorities could do anything they wanted to them.<br /><br />If you like science fiction District 9 is a must see. The plot is great and its underlying message about South Africa’s past is an added bonus.<br />C

A gangster's ghost returns but why is the story behind J.D.'s Revenge

J.D.’s Revenge is a black horror film set in 1970s New Orleans. Student and taxi driver Ike (Glynn Turman) gets touched by the soul of dead gangster J.D. Walker (David McKnight). At first, it just gives him headaches. Then he starts seeing Walker’s image in every mirror he sees, gets a hat like him, and then starts getting domineering and violent as Walker starts taking over Ike. The story evolves into why Walker wants to return to the living.<br /><br />The story takes some really strange turns. The most odd was a possessed sex scene with Ike’s girlfriend. That had to be a first. The best part is when he perms his hair. He looks so bad.<br /><br />There were only a few black horror movies made in the 1970s and many of them are not very good. J.D.’s Revenge is an exception with a great story of the supernatural.<br />C

Good family film that will make you laugh while making fun of action movies

My Spy takes a longtime trope in children’s film by hooking up a little kid with an adult. In this case it’s Dave Bautista who is CIA agent JJ and Chloe Coleman as Sophie. This play on the odd couple theme is made more obvious by the fact that Bautista is a very large man and Coleman is an elementary school girl. The movie takes the usual story arch where the man becomes the friend and protector of the girl.<br /><br />The mood of the movie is set with the opening scene. JJ is posing as a Russian arms dealer but his accent is so bad he immediately gets found out. He decides to shoot his way out and they make fun of the action genre in the process. For instance, JJ jumps in a jeep and is being shot at but his main priority is complaining about the music on the radio.<br /><br />Being a family film they put JJ in all kinds of cute situations like when he’s Sophie’s special friend she brings to school. He plays dodgeball with the kids and just the threat of him throwing a ball scares all the kids off. Another time two boys make fun of Sophie on an ice rink so he trips them and then gets kicked out as a result.<br /><br />Of course JJ is a CIA agent so there’s a bunch of shooting and explosions and action at the end.<br /><br />My Spy plays upon an old theme so there’s nothing new about it. At the same time it is a very good family film that will make you laugh.<br />C

A moralistic man decides to help a runaway slave

The Journey of August King is about a man of principal Jason Patric doing what he thinks is right by helping Thandiwe Newton a runaway slave. They go on an adventure together skirting travelers, slave hunters and Newton’s slave master. Thankfully they skip what could have easily turned into a stereotypical romance between the two and stress the bond they form between each other instead. Yes, this involves what I call the mighty whitey syndrome where the good white person saves the lowly person of color but there are worse examples.

Mixes Kahlo's life with her love of art

Frida Kahlo was one of Mexico’s most famous artists. This movie mixes her love of art with her biography. It features Salma Hayek in the lead. The combination of art and life is reflected when Kahlo gets into her accident which caused her to be put into a body cast. The doctors who operated on her are first portrayed as Mexican skeleton dolls and then when they appear as people it’s got a surreal look to it. That is a real nice touch to highlight her creativity. The film also highlights her Communist politics and her tumultuous love affair with her husband Diego Rivera. The movie really brings her to life as a person not just as an artist.

Organizing the black community could stop white exploitation

Movies like Superfly and The Mack created an image that Blaxploitation was all about pimps and drug dealers. There were plenty of those but the genre started off with black heroes like Shaft. Black Samson was in the latter category as Rockne Tarkington is trying to stop a white crime boss from bringing in drugs into his community. Tarkington’s standing is set in the opening scene as he towers over a drunk white gangster and gives him a beat down for acting up in his club. He’s got a lion in his business as well for added prestige. The story then touches on a classic trope of Blaxpoitation fighting The Man. In the end it had the subversive message that organizing the black community could stop white exploitation.

Frustrations of life and love with some dancing bull riding and music

Urban Cowboy is about the frustrations of life and love. John Travolta is a working class cowboy who becomes obsessed with riding a mechanical bull at a bar which leads to conflict with his wife Debra Winger. It’s not as trivial as riding however it’s about whether Travolta can get his priorities right.<br /><br />The parts I liked the most weren’t the bull however but the dance scenes at the bar. We all know Travolta can dance from movies like Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Here he showed he could country dance as well with the same kind of energy and flare. There were also two classic Country songs to boot in Lookin for Love and Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys.

If you can take the gore its pretty good with some dark humor thrown in

I originally saw this movie around when it came out at the San Francisco International Asian Film Festival. To say that it was hard to watch is an understatement. It’s got to be Takashi Miike’s most extreme film. Luckily it’s not a constant gore fest. There’s even some black humor thrown in especially with the bloody yet hilarious ending. If you can take the extremes its got an interesting cast of characters. Tadanobu Asano plays a psychotic Yakuza. Nao Omori is Ichi a scared and outcast youth who doesn’t know how to interact with people. Shinya Tsukamoto is his handler and manipulator. There’s a bunch of other crazies and gangsters as well.<br /><br />The first time I saw Ichi I felt like I was shell shocked. Watching it now years later I was able to enjoy it much, much more.

Early Sabbath show shortly after their 1st album was released

From the song selection this appears to be an early Black Sabbath concert recorded soon after their first album came out. The way Ozzy Osbourne and bassist Geezer Butler were bobbing their heads during the opening song Paranoid it made me think they invented headbanging. The music is all heavy hitting. My one complaint is that I wish the sound mixer didn’t go for the traditional Rock mix with everything on the high end because when Butler plays his bass you can barely hear it. This band would have been out of control if it had a proper bottom end.

I really liked the Batman Beyond TV series and the movie is exactly the same. An old and grumpy Bruce Wayne is mentoring a young man Terry McGinnis who has taken up the Batman persona.

Laugh at Kick Ass while enjoying action of the real heroes

Kick Ass was based upon a comic from a Marvel subsidiary. It gives a twist to the usual superhero story because the main character has no abilities. It begs the question what would happen if regular people tried to become heroes anyway? In fact, that’s the start of the film as a guy thinks he can fly, jumps off a skyscraper and dies. On the other hand the story is very familiar. The main character Aaron Taylor-Johnson and his friends are nerds. He eventually finds some real heroes with Nicolas Cage looking like Batman. I really like Cage’s character. He’s obsessed and treats his pre-teen daughter Chloe Grace Moretz like an adult killer. The point of the story is to laugh at Taylor-Johnson and Mintz-Plasse’s antics while enjoying the action Cage and Moretz provide. It does a good job of that.

Disappointing Spike Lee joint with meandering and disjointed plot

Miracle At St. Anna was Spike Lee’s stab at a war film. The story focuses upon how an Italian village treats a group of American soldiers cut off from their unit versus how the racist U.S. Army and America treated them. The problem is the plot is so slow and meandering to develop that the message gets lost.<br /><br />The issue of race is immediately introduced oddly enough by the Nazis via a propaganda radio broadcast asking the African American soldiers why they are fighting for a country that doesn’t care about them. That’s brought home by their commanding officer who talks down to a black officer, doesn’t listen to his soldiers on the frontline and ends up getting a bunch of them killed. The commanding general doesn’t have any respect for his own soldiers either because they are African American. The U.S. military was segregated during World War II and black units weren’t even allowed into combat initially because of racist views about them. These scenes highlight how the African American soldiers were fighting on two fronts. One against the Nazis and the other against their own white officers who were mostly racist. That treatment is compared to how the black soldiers become accepted into a small Italian village that they get trapped in. The Italians end up taking them in. Eat and drink with them, and don’t make race an issue. As one soldier says being in the town made him feel free unlike any other time in his life. It takes a long time for the theme to become clear however and easily gets lost in all the scenes that don’t seem to be related to the message.<br /><br />Overall this movie was a bit of a disappointment. The story took too long to develop and the theme was presented in a disjointed way.<br />C

A story about a complicated man

Bird is a Clint Eastwood film about famed Be Bop Jazz saxophonist Charlie “Bird” Parker featuring Forest Whitaker in the lead. The film focuses upon the complexities and contradictions of Parker.<br /><br />The opening shows all the sides of Parker. He plays a great set at a club and then stumbles home drunk. He was happy the door was unlocked because he thought his wife Chan (Diane Venora) was still mad at him and would have kept him out. Later he tries to kill himself by drinking Iodine. Here you have his musical genius. His tumultuous relationship with his wife. His problems with addiction. His sense of mortality. Chan was also white so their relationship was taboo at the time due to the racism in society. That would lead to the conflict throughout the film as Parker was never able to find balance in his life.<br /><br />The movie uses a series of flashbacks not in chronological order to highlight parts of Parker’s career, his relationship with Chan, and his addiction. Of course there’s plenty of concert footage as well to hear Bird’s music.<br /><br />The film has its light moments as well. He meets a Jewish sax player named Red who gets Parker and his band a “society” gig which turns out to be a Jewish wedding. Then Parker takes him on tour in the deep South and calls him Albino Red and even gets him to sing a tune every night.<br /><br />It seems like Eastwood wanted to portray Parker as a complicated man and he accomplished that. Whitaker and Venora did a great job with their roles. Whitaker was very subtle with his part while Venora showed all the anguish Chan went through.

Great cast drives this dark comedy about a hapless barber and a serial killer

Robert Carlyle both starred in and directed Barney Thomson. He’s a barber who gets caught up in the middle of serial killer investigation in Glasgow in this dark comedy. The cast is very strong. Carlyle plays a completely hapless character who cannot get a break in life. Ray Winstone is the cop hunting down the killer who looks like he’s going to have a heart attack almost every time he’s on screen because he’s so frustrated. Emma Thompson is Carlyle’s mom who doesn’t care one bit for her son. That’s topped off by a great climax scene.

Good light hearted buddy comedy in the Old West

This was another buddy film featuring Jackie Chan with an American this time Owen Wilson. The movie is set in the Old West where Chan and Wilson are out to rescue a kidnapped Chinese princess played by Lucy Liu. Chan played the straight guy dong the action sequences while Wilson handled the jokes. The idea was Chan needed an American counterpart like Chris Tucker in the Rush Hour series because it was believed Chan’s Chinese accent was too thick to carry an entire American picture on this own.<br /><br />The movie deals with traditional Western tropes. Thus Chan runs into outlaws and gets adopted by a Native American tribe. The action sequences are good but nothing special. The comedy is light hearted. It’s fun overall.

When a manchild decides to grow up by adopting a little kid

Adam Sandler decides to be responsible by adopting a 5 year old kid who’s dropped off at his doorstep. That leads to this family-romantic comedy. Of course there’s a lot of jokes with Sandler playing a manchild and having to raise a child. Sandler for instance teaches him to pee on a wall. There’s a lot of time spent on the two bonding however and then the woman Sandler falls for played by Joey Lauren Adams. It does a good job blending together those two stories and is one of Sandler’s better movies.

The comedy is just too tame

Many consider this a comedy classic but I’ve never seen it all the way through. The story is a spoof of 7 Samurai as a poor town turns to the Three Amigos to save it from bandits. The Amigos however are actually actors not heroes.<br /><br />The problem with The Three Amigos is that it is so tame. It’s like a family comedy that you’re supposed to bring your little kids to. That means I laughed a couple times but I never felt it was really funny.

Shows how soulful Bob Marley and the Wailers were

I’ve always heard that Chris Blackwell of Island Records who signed the Wailers added all kinds of overdubs to this record. I never knew what those were until now. Blackwell played original tracks and then went over all the things that were added like keyboards and slide guitar with the goal of breaking through to white audiences by added a more RnB and Rock feel to the tunes. They still had the Reggae beat, guitar and baseline but almost all the background was added by Blackwell. This was highlighted in several scenes where they went through the original tapes and isolated different instruments to show how the songs were put together. Marley was active in this process as well as he was in the studio. Ultimately what comes through is how soulful the Wailers were.

Different take on post-apocalyptic genre

Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) leaves her husband, gets in her car, ends up getting hit and wakes up in a basement chained to the wall. She finds out she’s being held by Howard (John Goodman) who claims he’s protecting her after an attack upon the United States. The movie is about the two being together in an underground bunker with Michelle not sure whether to believe Howard or not. Obviously being chained to a wall complicates their relationship right from the start. She doesn’t believe his story that America has been attacked, and Howard is controlling and scary at times. This creates an inherent conflict between the two and a much different post-apocalyptic tale than is usually told.<br /><br />The movie does a good job with its pacing. It goes from high points to lows and then back up. Sometimes it seems like Michelle and Howard will get along but other times it doesn’t. The ending is also definitely unexpected.<br /><br />Overall this was a surprisingly good thriller.

Will a community stand up for itself against a gang?

I thought this was going to be one of those 70s vigilante flicks when Jan Michael Vincent moved into a New York City neighborhood dominated by a gang. It didn’t quite turn out like that and I enjoyed it for that. Most of the movie is about people like Vincent and Danny Aiello trying to go about their business but they constantly get harassed and robbed by the gang. Everyone is afraid to stand up to them which is the dilemma of the story. It’s also realistic because one person can’t do it alone. It will take a whole community which is easier said than done.

A very bittersweet story

Gilda Radner created some memorable parts for Saturday Night Live that I still remember to this day so I was interested to watch this documentary about her. I liked her early years the best where she was part of a number of very notable comedy troupes such as Second City and National Lampoon. Then SNL happened and she became a star. The end was just really sad. The movie used the traditional talking heads but it also had a lot of her own words from a journal and notes she kept which was a nice touch.

Chan could still pull off the Police Story franchise

Police Story was one of Jackie Chan’s most successful series. In 2014 he was still releasing them. The movie is about Liu Ye luring Jackie Chan to his club and then holding him and others hostage to settle an old score.<br /><br />There are a few fight scenes Chan is in but a lot of times they do close ups and other techniques so Chan didn’t have to do much actual fighting at his age. The story is also not action based. it’s more about Liu’s plot. Why exactly did he want Chan? That’s the best part of the film. It proved that the Police Story franchise was still worthwhile.

Some parts stolen from Mad Max but enough originality to keep you interested

Doomsday is another post-apocalyptic story where after civilization has collapsed some of the survivors turn into Punk Rockers. In this case there’s definitely some rip offs from Mad Max 2.<br /><br />I’ve seen this film a couple times and always liked it. It sets a good mood at the start as the remaining civilization is threatened once again. It create a real air of desperation. Plus it gets very brutal and graphic in parts. It also adds some new things to the usual end of world story such as a land run like medieval knights.<br /><br />So while Doomsday is definitely derivative it’s got enough originality to keep you interesting.

Struggling musician suddenly becomes a star which forces him to decide what his priorities are

Himesh Patel plays Jack Malik a solo guitarist singer who has literally given up on his dream of becoming a star performer. Only his manager Ellie (Lily James) believes in him. Then he gets hit by a bus and when he awakens he finds out no one has ever heard of the Beatles. He uses their songs to become the big celebrity he always wanted to be but he’s wracked by guilt about using someone else’s music. The story is about Jack figuring out what his priorities are.<br /><br />There’s plenty of comedy along the way. For instance, he tries to play Let It Be for his parents, but they keep on interrupting him. Then their friend comes over and it just gets worse. Another time Ed Sheeran comes over to ask him to go on tour with him. They’re talking in the kitchen and Jack’s dad walks in and keeps on making them move from place to place as he goes through all the cabinets looking for something to eat.<br /><br />The other good part of the film is that it highlights the problems with the music business. Jack gets signed to a major company but they want to change him image because his new manager Debra (Kate McKinnon) hates the way he looks deep down to her core. This often happens to artists. They come with their music and then a corporation tries to change everything about them because they have to fit the image of what a star is supposed to look like.<br /><br />On top of all that you get plenty of Beatles songs and those are always good.<br /><br />It’s all a great combination.<br />C

An adventure into madness with a lot of laughs

The Voices mixes comedy with a story of a serial killer. Ryan Reynolds hears voices from his pet dog and cat which drive him to kill the people in his life. I liked the little details that they had in the movie which showed there was some good writing behind it. One time Reynolds is cutting up a body and they show the victim’s legs wiggling on the side of a table as he does the job. He later puts the body parts in tupperware boxes. Another time Reynolds goes to a Chinese restaurant with a guy doing an Elvis impression and then doing an Kung Fu exhibition. The rest of the cast is great as well including Gemma Arterton, Anna Kendrick and Jacki Weaver. It’s an adventure into madness with a lot of laughs.

Set standard for franchise No plot All action

I always watch these for some senseless action. Apocalypse was the second in the franchise and as usual featured Milla Jovovich going up against the Umbrella Corporation. This was when the company’s monsters that included zombies escaped. This movie rather than the original really set the standard for the entire franchise because it was just about guns and monsters and there’s barely any plot. It’s fun just for the action. Mike Epps is also part of the cast and adds a few jokes.

Great ensemble cast about a bunch of crazy characters in insane situations

Seven Psychopaths is not your usual crime story. It involves Colin Farrell as screen writer Marty who is writing a story about seven killers. He gets some ideas form his actor friend Billy (Sam Rockwell). At the same time someone is going around killing mobsters in Los Angeles. The movie becomes an exploration into an insane mix of characters that mix up the cast. Some are crazy, some are schemers, some are idiosyncratic, etc. It’s a lot of fun.<br /><br />The story keeps adding new twists and craziness. A man named Zachariah (Tom Waits) for instance answers an ad in the paper placed by Billy asking for psychopaths. He and his wife used to track down seriel killers and kill them! That’s the eccentric and outrageous style of the entire film. The unexpected constantly occurs. There are different layers to many of the characters as well which makes this a blast to watch.<br />C

Rise and fall of Ray Charles based around his amazing music

Ray set a new standard for musical biopic movies. It created a formula that all its successors would follow. That was to pick the biggest hits from the artist and match them to some of the main points from their lives. Of course, you had to have great music to make that work and Ray Charles had some of the greatest Soul and RnB tunes ever made. Jamie Foxx as Charles also turned in an amazing performance that made everything work.<br /><br />The story combined a chronological history of Charles’ career mixed in with flashbacks to his childhood with some dream sequences as well. The flashbacks and dreams focused upon how Charles became blind and how his mother inspired him and instilled in him a work ethic that would serve him throughout his life. They also took some liberties with his life which Hollywood always does such as adding Charles being haunted by the death of his little brother when he was a kid.<br /><br />What’s most interesting is the ups and downs in Charles’ life. At one moment he’s got smash hits the next he’s in a drug rehabilitation program.<br /><br />His music was also just as important and that was delivered by concert and studio scenes. It was so good that it led to a revival of his album sales.<br /><br />Together this rich mix of tunes and his made Ray a must see.<br />C

A young woman trapped between her dreams and her family

America Ferrera just finished high school and is stuck between her dreams and what her parents want. Her teacher George Lopez thinks that she could go to college, but she doesn’t believe her parents will let her. They are working class Mexican-Americans and her mother Lupe Ontiveros wants her to work and support the family. Ontiveros plays an overbearing mother to a tee. Everything that comes out of her mouth is critical which is the worst thing for a teenager like Ferrera. She plays the perfect teen with an attitude. She thinks she knows it all and treats her mom with contempt thinking she’s too traditional. It’s a battle of wills between the two. Of course, Ferrera coming to terms with her family is the major issue. There are other topics as well and they all work to create a very engaging and endearing story of Ferrera coming of age.

They didn't know what to do with this movie

I don’t think they knew what to do with this movie. Hence there’s Broadway type parts where women spontaneously start dancing to music. There are ridiculous parts like when Bolden is dropped out of a hot air balloon with a parachute to make a dramatic entrance to a performance. Bolden is mentally ill so he has all kinds of delusions. There’s another theme about the white power structure. There’s even mandingo fights. The movie is just all over the place.

Good ending but movie was spoiled by some bad writing

The new girl that tried to kill herself, Robin Tunney, the Goth girl with the messed up family, Fairuza Balk, the girl with medical problems, Neve Campbell, and the only black girl at school, Rachel True, venture into witchcraft to right their wrongs. Rachel wants revenge against a racist girl by having her hair fall out while Neve wants all the scars that cover her back to disappear. At first it’s about female empowerment but then it goes wrong.<br /><br />When the girls turn bad that’s when things go off the tracks. The explanation is thin and seems done by the writers to just create a conflict for the climax of the movie. It seemed contrived and predictable. The very end saves things but still the writing took a real left turn.

Passing of the torch from T'Challa to Shuri because the threats to Wakanda continue

The obvious question about Wakanda Forever was how would it deal with the passing of Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther. Director Ryan Coogler spent the opening and the conclusion making a heartfelt tribute to the man first through a funeral mourning his loss and then talking about his legacy. It’s by far the best parts of the film.<br /><br />The theme of Wakanda Forever then became passing the torch from T’Challa to Shiri which was not a clean transition given his sudden death. There were ups and downs along the way but it was a necessity because the threats to Wakanda continued. That was the point of the second scene which showed foreign countries trying to steal vibranium from Wakanda. That attempt threatened a then unknown group of sea people led by Namor who blamed Wakanda and hence a new conflict emerged and became the driving force for a new Black Panther.<br /><br />Here's what else worked in the film.<br /><br />Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda was fierce as the leader, mother and protector of her nation.<br /><br />Making Namor and his people Mesoamericans was a stroke of genius. They looked fantastic. Not only that but they were tied to a story of anti-colonialism and resistance. It was a similar and parallel story to Wakanda which had been hidden from the world for centuries as well.<br /><br />Speaking of which the kid at the end was named Toussaint and he lived in Haiti. Toussaint Louverture was the name of the Haitian who was born a slave and grew up to become the man who led his country to freedom from the French. That’s the reason why Shuri said his name held great history.<br /><br />Winston Duke returned as M’Baku. He didn’t get as prominent a role as the first film but his presence was still felt in every scene he was in.<br /><br />Most importantly I think the movie gets better with time. I saw it when it came out and liked it but seeing it a second time I appreciate it even more.

Focuses upon homeless Punk kids presenting nihilstic view of the scene

This was the last of Penelope Spheeris’ documentaries about the Los Angeles music scene. This one returned to her original topic Punk Rock, but this time a decade after her original film. Just like her other movies this one is split between talking with people and then concert footage. The focus is upon homeless kids and their issues.<br /><br />The conversations with people are always interesting. This time they talk about what gave rise to Punk and why it’s still around namely disillusionment with mainstream society. All the kids they talked with also had bad and abusive families leading to almost all of them to leave or be kicked out. Many of them were homeless or lived in Punk houses. Their main concerns are surviving and drinking beer. This arises from the fact that it looks like they started talking to some Punk kids asking for spare change on Hollywood Boulevard and that became the basis for most of the film. Of course the downside is this creates the image that all Punks are a bunch of messed up homeless kids. Obviously homeless kids is an important issue and Spheeris definitely highlights the various reasons why they ended up on the street. There is a lot more to Punk than those types of kids however and that's basically ignored in the film.<br /><br />The bands don’t get as much attention this time and they’re not as good as the original which had some all time classic LA groups.<br /><br />Overall, Part III one doesn’t match up to the previous two Declines. The bands aren’t that interesting and the Punks are nihilistic.<br />C

Plight of women and sisterhood

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is about two bonded sisters, Lily and Snow Flower from 19th Century China, and their modern ancestors Nina and Sophia. Li Bingbing and Jun Ji-Hyun play both sets of characters. The story is about the fate of women and friendship.<br /><br />The plight of women in 1800s China is laid out at the starts as Lily and Snow Flower have their feet bound by breaking their bones. Feet were the sign of beauty and allowed them to be sent off to wealthier men in arranged marriages. They’re told that through pain they will find beauty, and suffering will bring peace. That’s because they will be living in a male dominated society where their role is to serve their husbands and mother in laws. They are contrasted with their modern relatives Nina and Sophia who were also bonded sisters and also face societal and family obligations which they find difficult to deal with. What helps them get through life is that they have each other. The movie really lays out a beautiful story of sisterhood and struggle as it flips back and forth between the past and present. The ending is fantastic.

Snoop gets down with his RnB Hip Hop style

This is concert in 2008 right after Ego Trippin’ came out. He plays songs from that album plus older tunes like G Thang. This was when Snoop was starting to give his music a real groove with RnB backings to his rapping. The only problem is this is a really short show.

What are the FBI and jihadists willing to do in the war on terror?

Traitor is a very interesting story. It follows Don Cheadle as Samir Horn a terrorist who FBI agents Guy Peace as Agent Clayton and Neal McDonough as Agent Archer are after. The movie has some very interesting takes on jihadists and asks the question of what the FBI and jihadists are willing to do to achieve their goals.<br /><br />At the start Samir is imprisoned in Yemen. There he befriends Omar (Said Taghmaoui) who is the head of a group of jihadists. They run a section of the prison which is very common occurrence in many institutions in the Middle East that hold Islamists. Another time Omar is recruiting followers and talks about fighting back against the humiliation the Muslim world has faced at the hands of the West. This is a common theme in jihadist rhetoric. These are two scenes where a very realistic portrayal of Islamists is made. It’s not your usual Hollywood take where Muslims are a bunch of crazy radicals.<br /><br />Not only that but Samir asks whether Omar’s followers are soldiers or martyrs. Samir said that he fought in Afghanistan where they always had a plan to survive. This was a critique of suicide missions which has become a defining tactic of jihadists.<br /><br />In a sly bit of writing the movie also questions what the FBI was willing to do to take down terrorists. It didn’t make the U.S. government and jihadists equal but it did pose the question of whether the means they used justified the ends.<br />C

Videotapes become the truth in the story but it's really drawn out

Sex, Lies and Videotape introduced the entertainment world to Steven Soderbergh who wrote and directed the film. The story is about infidelity, jealousy, and the interconnectedness of human beings revolving around the four main characters Andie MacDowell, her sister Laura San Giacomo, her husband Peter Gallagher and his friend James Spader. Almost the entire movie is them talking life. Their relationships are split in two between the physical and the intellectual. Some of them are truthful, others not. Obviously some of these are recorded on videotape which ends up leading to all kinds of repercussions. The tapes end up being the truth and the truth hurts for some.<br /><br />The movie definitely is not for everyone because it is all conversational. I thought the story was interesting but even then it feels drawn out.

Great start about loss and growing up but towards the end lost me

Ryan Destiny is having a hard time growing up after her best friend died. She feels alienated from everyone around her from her mom played by Garcelle Beauvais to all her classmates. The story is about her dealing with her pain and whether she can get her life back. There are flashbacks and surreal moments to emphasize how difficult it can be. Those make the first half of the film really strong.<br /><br />There are two major drawbacks however. One is a dumb girl group who are so stereotypical. It’s like they were transplanted from a Disney TV show to the movie. They made me cringe every time they were on screen. The second thing is towards the end Destiny goes overboard with a series of bad decisions. That ruined things for me.

Gamera doesn't do enough to make this film interesting

Gamera was Daiei Film’s response to the success of Toho’s Godzilla. This is the American version of Gamera, the Giant Monster, which was edited with American actors added similar to what happened with the first Godzilla film.<br /><br />The film starts in the north pole when Soviet planes are intercepted and destroyed by the Americans. One crashes with an atomic bomb on board which explodes, and releases Gamera from the ice. He then sets upon Japan.<br /><br />The movie would seem like your typical Japanese monster movie from that start but then there’s an odd tangent. There’s a little boy who has a pet turtle and is so obsessed about it that his teacher comes to talk to his sister warning that he might be expelled if he doesn’t focus upon his studies more and less on his pet. Of course that boy will run into Gamera who after all is a giant turtle. This was Daiei’s attempt to make Gamera a children’s movie.<br /><br />There are some other hilarious moments such as when the police come to an underground club and warn the crowd that they need to leave because Gamera is coming. The kids decide that they will stay and dance instead, and of course, they get crushed!<br /><br />In the end the movie isn’t very satisfying. There simply isn’t enough Gamera smashing things. In fact, in most of his scenes he’s largely just standing around as they shoot at him or hurtle trains at him.

Great comedic twist on the Dicken's classic featuring a heartless jerk

This was Bill Murray in an adaptation of A Christmas Carol. He plays a powerful and cynical TV executive Frank Cross who is the Scrooge obviously.<br /><br />The twist on the story is that Cross isn’t heartless like in the Charles Dickens’ original. Instead he’s just a thoughtless jerk. That’s something that Murray plays to a T. Thus he gives his hardworking secretary Grace (Alfre Woodard) a towel instead of her annual bonus.<br /><br />The beginning is also amazing. Cross is watching TV ads for Christmas specials. The first has Santa being attacked by gunmen and Lee Majors coming to the rescue with an M-16. Cross then comes up with an ad for Scrooge that features acid rain, drugs, terrorism, and drive by shootings. It is hilarious.<br /><br />The rest of the movie is just as good throwing in all kinds of left turns on the usual story such as the ghost of Christmas present believing in slapping people around as being the best way to get their attention.<br /><br />If you want a laugh with your Christmas movie this is definitely the movie to watch.<br />C

Typical coming of age story Relies upon actors to carry it but ending is disappointing

Our Song is a coming of age story following three girls in Brooklyn, New York, Lanisha (Kerry Washington), Maria (Melissa Martinez), and Joycelyn (Anna Simpson). They face the usual issues in this kind of film from friends to boys to having babies to conflicts with their parents. The theme is that your teen years are a period of change. The film doesn’t really add anything new to those topics though so it relies upon the performances to carry it. It achieves that. Washington and Martinez especially stand out for their portrayals. They deal with teen pregnancies and bring up all of the questions that are related to it. Washington for instance says she sees so many young girls with babies she asks what’s so bad about it. The problem with the movie is the ending. Nothing is resolved and it just finishes. It’s really not satisfying. Despite that it’s still a good but not great story of three young women.<br />C

Contrived start but good ending to this adaptation of a John Grisham book

Many of the John Grisham books that have been turned into movies are very familiar. That’s because they use the common trope of a young lawyer who finds some wrongdoing and fights against the odds to right it. That’s the case with The Firm as Tom Cruise is a young lawyer just out of school who gets hired by a large law firm in Memphis which just happens to have lawyers turn up dead. The story is a bit contrived however. For instance Cruise is in the Caribbean where two lawyers died and he just randomly starts asking questions about it. He goes into a locked room for no real reason. These kinds of scenes happen again and again. I did like the beginning which was dramatic and had a fun twist. The Firm is still a good watch especially with Gene Hackman as a conflict lawyer at Cruise’s company, but it could’ve been better.

Doc is all over the place but has some great bands

This documentary was one of a number made by a German film maker about 1970s Punk in England. This one is all over the place. It goes from why kids started Punk to the clubs to the managers to the fanzines to Teddy Boys and more. That was always a mainstay of the series. Not only that but they would show a bunch of bands playing and not say who they were half the time. The best parts are the live shots of X-Ray Spex, The Jam and the Clash.
