Slow burner about 2 brothers divided by crime but united by blood
Blood Ties is a family drama featuring two brothers. It takes place in New York in 1974. One sibling is Chris Pierzynski (Clive Owen) who is a criminal who just got out of prison. The other is Frank Pierzynski (Billy Crudup) who is a police detective. They both have struggles in their lives. Chris has an ex-girlfriend (Marion Cotillard) who is a hooker, strung out on drugs and they have two kids. He can’t keep a job since he’s a felon and is tempted to get back into crime. Frank is obsessed with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa (Zoe Saldana) but couldn’t be with her before because she was black. Frank takes in Chris when he gets out. These relationships are the basis for the story.<br /><br />Owen and Crudup do a great job playing the battling brothers. There’s resentment between the two over how they were treated by their dad played by James Caan. Crudup obviously has a hard time dealing with his brother who is a criminal when he’s a policeman. The ending showed whether the two could ever reconcile hence the title. Could their blood ties hold them together through thick and thin which they face plenty of.<br /><br />The movie is a slow burner punctuated by emotional and violent moments. Crudup play shis part with a lot of calm and reserve. Owen on the other hand gets to act out a lot. I’ve always liked Clive Owen and he didn’t disappoint in Blood Ties.

People can't see things right in front of them and crash to create drama in this BAD film
I didn’t expect a thing from this film and didn’t get much in return. There were over the top shark attacks and Roy Sheider being frantic. That was predictable and acceptable. Then they had people on boats steer straight into things over and over that are right in front of them. This is where I lost it.

Started an entire movie franchise
1996’s Mission Impossible created a franchise starring Tom Cruise as agent Ethan Hunt. The film was directed by Brian De Palma. Many of the elements would be used again and again. The one drawback was the plot was a little overcomplicated due to the fact that production started before one even existed, but it was still a great thrill ride.<br /><br />If you read the background to the film you’ll find out that writing the movie was a mess. Several different writers were brought in and out and there were constant re-writes. De Palma ended up creating the action sequences and building the story around them. That explains a lot.<br /><br />The story revolves around the CIA’s agent list being stolen and Hawk running around the world trying to get it back. To show how chaotic the story was the list turns out to be a fake and Hunt goes and steals the real one from CIA headquarters to sell to an arms dealer known as Max. Then someone on his team tries to steal the list. All the while there are people betraying Hunt as well.<br /><br />What really drove the movie however was the action and the special effects. Many of these would become mainstays of the series. In the first scene for instance, Hunt wears a plastic mask to impersonate someone which would be used in almost every movie afterward. Probably the most famous scene is when Hunt breaks into the CIA to steal the list and is suspended by a line from the ceiling into a sealed room. He almost gets dropped on the floor setting off the alarms.<br /><br />Overall this was an exciting movie.<br />C

A movie about rebellion and seeking adventure in Manhattan
Rosanna Arquette follows Madonna around Manhattan only to be mistaken for her which leads to an adventure. The movie plays on the fact that Arquette was a bored middle class housewife from New Jersey who is now running around the lower East Side not knowing anything. Madonna on the other hand is a consummate hustler always looking to take advantage of any situation she’s in. That’s part of the fun of the story that a bumbling housewife like Arquette could ever be thought of as Madonna’s character. The movie is also about rebellion as Madonna is a rebel and Arquette dreams about having a life like hers. All together it makes for a very good 80s film.

Making a hilarious movie based upon sex, drugs and Rock N Roll
Get Him To The Greek is about rock stardom. It tries to live up to the phrase Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll. Jonah Hill as a record label rep has to get rock star Aldous Snow played by Russell Brand from London to The Greek Theater in Hollywood in 72 hours for a comeback concert. As expected nothing goes right as Snow wants to get drunk, get high, womanize, and take any kind of detour that he can think of.<br /><br />Brand and Hill have a real chemistry and they’re hilarious together. They go on an adventure with all kinds of crazy hijinks. Sean Puffy Combs as the head of Snow’s record label also stands out with his little speeches like when he lectures hill about screwing stars mentally to control them. He will make you laugh every time he’s on screen.<br /><br />The writers really did try to push things with a very awkward sex scene and explicit lyrics by Snow’s girlfriend played by Rose Byrne who is also a singer.<br /><br />I saw this when it came out in a theater and always loved the over the top story. It’s still good to this day.

Good sequel althought the plot was thin
Silent Hill is a greatly underrated and underappreciated horror movie with an original story and great images. All the more surprising as it was based off of a video game. Revelation was the sequel featuring the daughter and father this time. It focuses upon the legacy of Silent Hill haunting the family.<br /><br />There is very little story as the movie goes straight into the craziness. That’s via terrifying monsters and some gore. It’s like a nightmare come to life with unique images. For a follow up it’s not bad and they eventually get around to trying to explain what Silent Hill is about to give it more of a plot.

Total flop by Spike Lee with fantasies about women
She Hate Me was one of Spike Lee’s grand flops. That’s because the movie is so unbelievable and makes such a horrible depiction of women.<br /><br />The problems are apparent 20 minutes into the film. It starts off following Anthony Mackie as Vice President John Armstrong of a pharmaceutical company who becomes a whistleblower. Then things take a left turn as his ex-Kerry Washington as Fatima Goodrich and her girlfriend Dania Ramirez as Alex Guerrero ask Armstrong to donate his sperm so that she can have a child for money. He doesn’t just donate his sperm in a test tube he actually sleeps with all these different women. Yes, all these lesbian women that Fatima finds want to have actual sex with Armstrong to get pregnant. The first time Goodrich brings over women, one demands to see his private parts because that’s supposed to show whether he is a good sperm donor. This is just Spike Lee who co-wrote the film fantasizing about women. The story gets even worse after that as it veers off into all kinds of seemingly unrelated issues. It’s a total and complete mess.<br />C

Original take on the survival story
A plane crashes in the Kalahari desert which stretches from Namibia to South Africa. Five men and one woman are now stuck in this harsh environment. The movie is a really original take on the survival story. For instance, SPOILER ALERT, they don’t spend most of the movie walking around struggling. They also have some interesting companions like a herd of baboons. The movie comes down to power, relationships and betrayal. An added twist is that it also shows the consequences for those that turn on others. It’s surprisingly good overall.

What are the uses of Karate? A young girl finds out
High Kick Girl has a dramatic start. There’s no words it’s just a group of guys getting kicked all over the place by one very large man including two going out a window. The main character Rina Takeda who plays a high school girl then knocks out a black belt with one kick to the head and then takes on an entire class of Karate students. It’s great choreography with no special effects and they’re making some real contact. She looks believable as a fighter and does her own stunts. As you can predict Takeda and the people in the first scene will come into conflict. On top of that there’s plenty of commentary about the purity of Karate as a form of self-defense. That’s the question the movie posts, what are the uses of martial arts? My one complaint is that they show the major parts of fight sequences in slow motion for every single fight. It gets too repetitive.

Really disappointed Neither story nor characters were interesting
I was looking forward to this new series but I have to admit after having watched the first episode I was really disappointed. It starts with the cruelties of slavery but I’ve seen that before and man’s inhumanity to man is not a draw. Next, there’s not an interesting character amongst the cast. I was literally waiting for something to happen to catch my attention and it never did. I’m still going to watch a few more episodes to see if things change but as of now I can’t really recommend this show.<br /><br />PS - Some people have complained that the show isn't realistic but if you watch past episode 1 you'll see that the story includes elements of magical realism.

Travel through street art Then the filmmaker thought he could become an artist too
This documentary was made by Banksy’s production company about the French documentary filmmaker and artist Thierry Guetta who moved to Los Angeles and started covering street artists such as Shepard Fairey who became famous for his Andre the Giant artwork which became the Obey brand. Of course he eventually hooked up with Banksy which was why the film was made.<br /><br />It’s interesting to see the artists put up their work largely at night so that they didn’t get caught by the cops. There are even some harrowing stories like when Thierry and Banksy went to Los Angele’s Disneyland to put up an inflatable dummy that represented prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and Thierry got caught by security.<br /><br />It also covers the eventually commercialization of street art and how it became a huge business for auctions and art houses.<br /><br />Finally, Thierry got into the art world himself being inspired by all the people that he saw. His problem was that he totally lost it in terms of scale and possibilities. He hired a small army for example to work for him by mortgaging everything he had. I literally think he went insane while he thought he was a genius.<br />C

American dream in the suburbs turned out to be a nightmare
Poltergeist is an all time classic hoor film which I don’t think gets talked about as much as it should. It has memorable moments like the daughter played by Heather O’Rourke talking to the TV or the hiring of the psychic Zelda Rubinstein to all the creepy stuff that happens in the Freeling family home due to the haunting. That’s juxtaposed against the middle class, white suburban neighborhood the movie is set in, which is highlighted during the opening credits. This was supposed to be the American Dream and it turned into a nightmare for the Freelings.

Science and morals of working on nuclear bomb projects in WWII
Friendship, science, war, and morals. Those are the topics of Copenhagen. It uses the famous meeting of two of the leading physicists of their time Niels Bohr/Stephen Rea and Werner Heisenberg/Daniel Craig in Copenhagen in 1941 to explore those issues. Bohr and Heisenberg were old friends but on different sides during World War II Bohr a Dane and Heisenberg a German. The film comes to deal with the role of scientists in building a nuclear bomb and whether that was right or wrong. It is a very interesting set of conversations even when they go into scientific theory. They make it more interesting by flashing back and forth between 1941 and take their 1941 meeting from different perspectives. During the time the nuclear bomb was considered a means to end a bloody war but obviously since then has become more controversial. Copenhagen throws its hat into the ring into what it might have meant for the scientists working on it.

Better than expected action comedy w/Dwayne Johnson's 1st substantive role
The Rundown was a comedy action flick featuring Dwayne Johnson in just his fourth film. It was one of his first substantial roles where he actually got to act and say lines. He played Beck an enforcer for a bookie. His was sent by his boss to Brazil to find his delinquent son Travis (Seann William Scott), and bring him home. In the process Beck gets caught in the middle of struggle against an exploitative mining operation run by Cornelius Hatcher (Christopher Walken). Mariana (Rosario Dawson) is one of the leaders of the resistance.<br /><br />Johnson really got to show his stuff both physically in fight scenes and acting with the comedy. Walken was his usual outstanding self. He was an eccentric businessman playing dictator over the hundreds of people under his employment. Scott played the smart ass. Both find a conscience when they confront Mariana’s struggle. That provided for a fun movie that was better than expected.<br />C

Satisfying sci-fi action
The premise of the story is very simple. Regular people with little training are thrown into a war of survival with aliens in the future. The monsters look great, but there are some scenes that are definitely stolen from World War Z. There’s lots of action, gun play and excitement. There’s some jokes thrown in (mostly tanks to Sam Richardson) as well to try to keep it not all serious. It plays upon time as the people in the future obviously know about the people that get sent forward. Overall it makes for a very satisfying sci-fi action flick.

It's just an imitation of the first film
The first Boondock Saints was a hilarious action movie about the two brothers Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery so I was curious to see whether the sequel would be any good. It’s actually a bit disappointing because all they did was re-make the best elements of the original. For instance, there’s a smart talking FBI agent Julie Benz, the local Boston cops are still dumb, the characters make funny comments, etc. It’s still entertaining but it’s simply an imitation.

Brilliant portrayal of the struggle between revolutionaries and colonialists
The Battle of Algiers was an iconic film of the 1960s. It featured the Algerian war of independence from the French in the 1950s, and captured the revolutionary times of that decade. Forty years later it found an unlikely revival via the US military who was interested in it due to its involvement in the Iraq war. All together this led The Battle of Algiers to go down in history for both its content and its style of realism. It depicts the struggle of Third World revolutionaries as well as imperialist powers to hold onto their colonies. Leftists point to it as inspiration for how oppressed people can liberate themselves. First world powers like the U.S. show it to their militaries for lessons on how to fight a counterinsurgency. Just in terms of art it is an exciting war film.<br /><br />One of the strong points of the film is that it lays out the National Liberation Front’s (FLN) plan for independence. First, it issued orders to try to win over the public such as banning the sale of drugs and alcohol and prostitution. It does other community work like host weddings. Then the group turns to small acts of violence and defiance such as killing policemen and stealing their guns, which grew in intensity. The goal was to establish the FLN as an alternative source of authority in the country, to defy the French, and to create a revolutionary environment. That’s helped by the French using increasingly repressive tactics to contain the violence such as cordoning off sections of Algiers, setting up checkpoints, etc. along with French colonials turning on Arabs, which included terrorist attacks of their own. These were common techniques used by revolutionary groups across the world. The movie does a great job breaking down the techniques and strategy used.<br /><br />Of course it also includes the French army’s attempt to put down the rebellion. The army’s main tactic is to break down the organization the FLN created starting at the bottom and working its way up until the leadership is eliminated. That effort would be based upon investigations, intelligence, and police work. It also meant extra judicial means that flaunted French law like torture. The struggle then became one between the army’s attempt to roll up the FLN’s cadres and its ability to sustain its losses and expand its base.<br /><br />The two sides are laid out explicitly. One of the FLN leaders says it’s one thing to start a revolution, harder to sustain it and win, and then the real work starts afterward. For the French, it was about keeping Algeria as a colony. If France wanted that it would have to bear the consequences of a no holds bar counterinsurgency war.<br /><br />All together this makes for a fantastic film. It captures an important period of time in a realistic manner that still makes it a great watch today.<br />C

As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafés, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film is a case study in modern warfare, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal techniques used to combat them. Pontecorvo’s tour de force has astonishing relevance today..

A man who will do anything to be with his kids after a divorce
Mrs. Doubtfire is one of Robin Williams’ most memorable roles. It actually constrained him even though you would think he would go crazy getting to play an old woman nanny. Yes he has his small parts where he goes into all kinds of voices, but most of the time it’s just him trying to be the nanny so that he can be with his kids after a divorce. There’s plenty of laughs there but it is a much more restrained version of the crazy Williams that made him famous. Besides the comedy the film is actually about how much Williams loves his kids.

Too inconsistent as Vince Price gets cursed by a witch
Cry Of The Banshee was another horror film featuring Vincent Price. If the opening animated sequence looks familiar it should because it was done by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame.<br /><br />The movie is a period piece taking place in 16th Century England with Price being a cruel judge who wants to stamp out paganism. He’s cursed by a witch who calls upon Satan to exact her revenge. The delivery is inconsistent however. For instance there’s a scene where a woman is attacked and it’s a complete dud. The ending is the best part. That’s the nature of the film, up and down.

The dangers of extremism and how people can be recruited to their causes
Valene Kane plays a British journalist attempting to discover how the Islamic State recruited Western girls to go to Syria by Skyping with jihadist Shazad Latif. The movie revolves around Latif trying to seduce Kane to get her to come to Syria and she trying to slowly get information out of him. The beginning is very good because it shows all the fears and anxiety that Kane has over this project. She is afraid and even gets racist when she finds out the tech guy that will be helping her is Syrian. It also shows the dangers of entering into a relationship with someone and getting pulled into their life. Most of the movie takes place on Kane’s computer screen as she looks thing sup about ISIS and does Sky calls with Latif. I’m a bit mixed about that technique. I was also worried in the middle about where things were going because it became constant flirting over Skype. Thankfully the ending got very intense. The movie is also based upon a real story. Overall it shows the dangers of extremism and how people are vulnerable to being recruited to their causes.

Classic comedy about oddball army unit led by Bill Murray and Harold Ramis
Stripes was one of my favorite comedies as a kid and it still holds up to this day. Things begin with John Winger (Bill Murray) quitting his job and losing his car and girlfriend. Out of desperation he talks his best friend Russell Ziskey (Harold Ramis) to join the army with him. They find themselves in a unit with a bunch of odd balls with an unforgiving drill sergeant named Hulka (Warren Oates). The laughs come from Winger and Ziskey attempting to undermine authority at every moment in an institution based upon it while bonding with their fellow soldiers.<br /><br />The story presents one crazy moment after another for Murray and Ramis in the army. The most iconic might be when they are up for review for their graduation and Murray and Ramis make up their own song and routine. It’s a must see. There are plenty more like that.<br /><br />Murray and Ramis obviously shine but the supporting characters like John Candy get their moments as well.<br />C

Some over the top/unbelievable writing but still a fun ride
Los Angeles is facing the threat of a bomber played by Dennis Hopper who demands ransoms or he’ll blow people up. Facing him down is Keanu Reeves as a LAPD bomb specialist. Obviously the movie is all about the situations Hopper puts the police in.<br /><br />What the movie is known for is Hopper putting a bomb on a bus that has to keep driving at 50 mph or more or it will blow up. The writers went all out on this throwing in all kinds of unbelievable and over the top situations. The biggest is the idea that in the middle of the day they could find a stretch of freeway in Los Angeles without traffic. Despite that the movie was still fun and a thrill ride, you just had to go with the flow.<br />C

Better than expected even with writers trying to include way too much in story
They rarely make epic war films anymore but Midway was an attempt to do that. It did a great job with the war scenes. Created a sense of tension but tried to include way too much and would have been better with some serious editing.<br /><br />First the good part. The movie lays out how the U.S. wasn’t sure where the Japanese would attack and had to go through all kinds of intelligence to try to discover where the next target would be. The Americans wanted to set a trap to destroy a large part of the Japanese fleet but needed to know where it was going first. That’s the tension. CGI allows for these types of films to be made. You have waves of planes two fleets and it was all done on computer. The movie also has good pacing so the war footage doesn’t go stale.<br /><br />Now for the bad part. The movie starts at Pearl Harbor, includes the American attack upon the Marshall Islands, the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, and has a little bit of the Battle of Coral Sea. Was that all really necessary? Not really. The writers obviously wanted to go big or go home but went overboard.<br /><br />Despite that Midway turned out surprisingly good and I wasn’t expecting much.<br />C

An adult Batman story and I'm all for it
This was not the kind of Batman story I grew up on and that was a good thing. First of all, the bad guys, Poison Ivy and Floronic Man want to force the Earth to go green so they stop destroying the planet. Second of all there’s lots of sexual innuendo involved like waitresses with skimpy outfits on and Harley Quinn making out with Nightwing. It’s definitely an adult themed plot. There are other unexpected parts that add real character to Batman and Harley Quinn like the later singing a Blondie song at an evil henchmen’s bar. A definite thumbs up.

Good start but then story gets stuck in the mud
This movie re-unites Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson in Ireland. Gleeson decides he doesn’t want to be friends with Farrell anymore because he’s dull. This leads to all kinds of talks, arguments, self-reflection, gossip and more. Farrell gets so desperate to get his best bud back he asks the priest to ask Gleeson about what was happening during confession. That actually leads to a very funny and unexpected bit.<br /><br />I liked the first half but after that it just seemed like the story didn’t progress. Farrell still tried to talk to Gleeson who wasn’t interested. It just kept on going on and on.

So so bad
This was the second Iceman film featuring Donnie Yen as a time traveler from ancient China. The movie begins by recapping Yen’s past but then quickly goes overboard. For instance he turns a shield into a snowboard and gets chased by two other soldiers who do the same while an avalanche is chasing them down. It looks ridiculous especially when Yen pulls a hand plant. It also shows that special effects would be abused in the action scenes. Then there’s a huge hole in the plot. The time machine can only be operated using a chant that Yen knows and yet he finds out that some of his enemies from the past are living in modern China. How did they get there if they didn’t know the chant? It gets worse from there.

Chow Yun-fat shines as the mastermind behind a group of counterfeiters
Project Gutenberg is a very stylish movie about counterfeiting. It stars Chow Yun-fat as Painter the mastermind of a group of counterfeiters and his top artist Aaron Kwok. The movie goes into great detail about the ink, the printing presses, the art, and more that all go into forging a US $100 bill. It has a look and music that make it right up there with the likes of the Ocean’s 11 series. Chow carries the entire film. He’s charming. He’s ruthless. He’s a mastermind. It’s quite a performance. It's also got a powerful ending with a twist to wrap things up. I was really impressed.

I know it's a classic but the ending was too cliche for me and ruined the film
Rudy is one of those classic underdog sports stories. Sean Astin was laughed at his whole life. His dad, his teacher and others never believed in him. He had to prove them wrong. What actually stood out first was a very, VERY young Jon Favreau who they made look like a total square. I don’t think I’ll ever look at him the say way again. Later there’s a really young Vince Vaughn as well. The character that really stood out however was Charles Dutton who became like a father figure to Astin as he was toiling away.<br /><br />What I liked about the story was that it just developed naturally so you would root for Astin. Then it had to ruin everything in the final part where it turned into a rah rah cheerleading piece about him. It got so bad I was shaking my head. I even predicted what would happen. It was just too cliché.

Comedy heist flick with plenty of 60s swag
The Italian Job was a unique film. Released in 1969 it was a mix of a crime heist story, a comedy, and 60s swag starring Michael Caine as the criminal mastermind Charlie Croker. With the backing of British crime lord Mr. Bridger (Noel Coward) Croker organizes a large group of criminals to rob $4 million of gold in Turin, Italy. His friend planned the job but was killed by the mafia for doing so. Croker decides to complete it.<br /><br />Croker embodies the swag. He gets out of prison and gets a brand new wardrobe of the latest suits. He’s got a convertible sports car and more women then he knows what to do with. He was a playboy criminal.<br /><br />The heist was a work of genius. It involved taking out Turin’s security camera system so they thieves are not seen, then sabotaging the traffic light system to tie up a convoy carrying the gold, and then making a getaway through the Alps to Switzerland. The escape would become iconic as it used Mini Coopers. Added bonus there were plenty of car stunts with the Minis.<br /><br />The jokes are everywhere. Croker for example breaks into prison to talk to Mr. Bridger while he goes the bathroom to try to get his backing for the heist. Benny Hill plays Professor Simon Peach who is part of Croker’s team. He plays a lecher who has a thing for big women.<br /><br />The 1960 Ocean’s Eleven had a similar idea of a big team carrying out a smart heist, but the Italian Job was far more ambitious and more of a comedy.

The Sex Pistols in their own words
I am a Punk Rock kid at heart so I really enjoyed this documentary. It’s about the history of the Sex Pistols more than just their Never Mind The Bullocks album. I really like this series because they go into the studio and break down the songs going through the guitar parts and the drums, etc. so you get a real sense of how things were put together. There’s also plenty of TV appearances by the group performing their songs and their famous interview where they just cussed. I also liked how the band trashed Malcolm McLaren who was supposed to be the genius behind the Sex Pistols but who the members thought exploited them. Their comments about Sid Vicious were also very interesting. My one complaint is that the video cut off right before the end.

Movie just fell flat
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were a hit team on Saturday Night Live so they went into business with each other in movies. Baby Mama was the result and I have to say it was disappointing. It dealt with a common issue amongst professionals that they went for success in their careers and held off on having kids. Later in life they felt tremendous pressure to have a kid before it was too late. That’s the dilemma Fey finds herself in. Poehler becomes the surrogate mother for Fey. The problem isn’t with the situation it’s with the writing. Nothing in this film was really funny. Most things just fell flat. It’s like they tried really hard to be safe with all the jokes and failed as a result. That’s a shame because they wasted a great cast of Steve Martin, Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepherd, Sigourney Weaver, Romany Malco and Maura Tierney.

Captures LA's 80s Metal scene where glam make-up and big hair were the thing
Director Penelope Spheeris was great at capturing important moments in Los Angeles musical history. Her first film Decline of Western Civilization caught the start of the LA Punk scene. Part II was about 1980s Heavy Metal. It featured Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy from Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Poison, Faster Pussycat, Lizzy Borden, London, Odin, Seduce, Chris from W.A.S.P., and Megadeth. Some of those were big name groups that had been around since the 70s like Kiss and Ozzy, but most were the big hair glam bands that were struggling in LA like Lizzy Borden and Poison. Then there’s Megadeth who were part of the thrash scene featuring Dave Mustaine who was formerly in Metallica. They and Lemmy are the oddballs of the story because they really have nothing to do with the other groups featured.<br /><br />Some of the most memorable scenes were Paul Stanley from Kiss giving his interview in bed with a bunch of women. It’s such a staged scene that tries to capture the image the band had at that moment. Unsurprisingly the glam bands were trying to follow in their footsteps and talked about their private parts and girls. Some just sound hilarious such as Poison that bragged about how outrageous they were and that they could actually play which set them apart from the rest when in fact they looked and sounded just like the entire LA scene at that time. There’s also Chris from W.A.S.P. who is interviewed in his swimming pool getting drunk, talking about how he’s trying to hide some internal pain and that he didn’t like the cost of fame as his mom looks on. That leads to a section where almost all the band members and fans say that they’re alcoholics and drug addicts. There are some performances as well such as the first one by Lizzy Borden who do a cover of Born To Be Wild.<br /><br />Like the first Decline of Western Civilization this one gives an inside glimpse at a musical scene at a specific time and place. There’s plenty of attitude and stupidity all mixed together.<br />C

New twists while giving nods to the original TV series
They keep on revising the Addams Family TV show and this was the latest attempt making it an animated feature. Being a cartoon they were able to add all kinds of little twists like the daughter Wednesday having her pony tails end in nooses or Morticia’s dress looking like an octopus on the floor. They throw in some nods to the original series as well.<br /><br />There are a couple different subplots one of the better ones being Wednesday going to junior high school where she proclaims that she is out to undermine the establishment. Another one is mocking home improvement TV shows.<br /><br />I liked the movie and there were some funny parts but I actually think the two Addams Family movies with actors were better.

I liked this story but the pacing was sooo slow. It’s about the transformation of Kelly Macdonald from a quiet and shy housewife into someone with an opinion who speaks her mind all due to making jigsaw puzzles.

In this sequel Mike Myers and Dana Carvey return and try to put on a concert in their hometown. At the same time Myers becomes increasingly jealous of his girlfriend Tia Carrere’s producer Christopher Walken. The movie is full of the usual parody that made the original Saturday Night Live skit and the first movie such a success. There are spoofs of TV commercials and even martial arts movies like when Myers meets Carrere’s father James Hong. Surprisingly Carvey didn’t do any of the writing. Instead that was left to Myers and the husband and wife duo of Bonnie and Terry Turner. It’s lots of fun and just as good as the original.

Egalitarian ideal of America vs the how the rich actually run the country
This is a remake of the famous 1960 Magnificent 7 which was an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s 7 Samurai. This time instead of a poor Mexican town needing gunfighters to protect it from Mexican bandits a diverse group of heroes led by Denzel Washington and including Lee Byung-hun, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Martin Sensmeier are hired to protect a town from a voracious businessman played by Peter Sarsgaard. Sarsgaard says that capitalism is about the rich taking whatever they want by whatever means they can. Although it’s only mentioned at the start the premise of the film is the conflict between the egalitarian ideal of America vs the way the country actually works.<br /><br />This newer version contains all the main elements from both the original and 7 Samurai. Washington puts together a hodgepodge of men who then train the locals how to fight and then stave off a huge attack of bad guys. Despite its lack of originality it’s still a good Western. Denzel is great as usual. His crew is interesting such as Ethan Hawke being a famous soldier who’s afraid to kill or Chris Pratt who is a sly talking gunslinger to Vincent D’Onofrio who is like a mountain man to Sensmeier who plays a Comanche warrior to Byung-hun who is a knife fighter.

Probably John Heard's most unique role as a lunatic drunk
John Heard and Jeff Bridges make an interesting duo in this murder mystery. Heard is a lunatic drunk while Bridges is his best friend who is always having to clean up after him. This has got to be Heard’s most unique role. A lot of times he got typecast. Here he’s free and wild. He gets completely carried away with the killing. Bridges on the other hand has played these types of characters before. He’s good looking and a ladies’ man. They did draw me into the story.

Let's you see the progression of the series in terms of storyline and action sequences
This includes the first six Mission Impossible films from Mission Impossible I to Fallout. What’s good about having the collection is that you can see how the franchise progressed. Mission Impossible I for instance used many of the gimmicks from the TV show like plastic masks which opens the film. At the same time the story was a mess because it went through several different writers. Mission Impossible 2 was directed by John Woo. It had a much stronger plot and the action sequences benefited from Woo’s deft hand such as the use of slow motion and other of his trademarks. Mission Impossible 3 was done by J.J. Abrams and again upped the ante in terms of running around the world and gimmicks to defeat the best villain in the series Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who was ruthless. Finally Ghost Protocol set the stage for the next two movies in terms of a big start, more international travel, some comedy, and more intense action. Rogue Nation and Fallout simply followed that blueprint. Overall Mission Impossible is one of the top action-espionage series around.<br />C

1 cousin knows the other is trouble but goes along with his scheme anyway
The Pope of Greenwich Village is about two struggling cousins Paulie (Eric Roberts) and Charlie (Mickey Rourke) in New York City. At the start of the film Paulie gets both of them fired from their jobs at a restaurant. Desperate for money they decide to rob a safe, but things go wrong. The story is about their problems and aspirations.<br /><br />Paulie and Charlie have opposing personalities which shape their actions. Paulie is immature, a schemer and can’t think past the next day. Charlie on the other hand has a kid and a girlfriend Diane (Daryl Hannah) who is pregnant with their child. He’s much more mature and responsible. The two are inseparable because they’re family even though Charlie knows Paulie is trouble. That’s the draw of the film. The two are engaging so the audience wants to see whether the two will survive their transgression and each other. It’s not really about the crime but the two cousins’ relationship.<br /><br />Roberts is insufferable in his role. He won’t shut up and becomes a real weasel later on. Rourke play his part much more cool. When he feels the pressure he has little outbursts but then keeps his calm exterior.<br /><br />The only real problem is the ending sort of drags things out.<br />C

Features Ghidorah one of Godzilla's greatest foes
This was the sixth Godzilla film and the second to feature Ghidorah, probably the best foe Godzilla ever faced. It was produced by Ishiro Honda one of Toho’s great directors and the one who helped launch the franchise. By this time the series had moved towards science fiction focusing upon alien threats to Japan and the world. This time extra-terrestrials want to take Godzilla and Rodan from Earth to their planet to battle Monster Zero/Ghidorah who is terrorizing them. Of course that’s just a plot to try to take over the Earth.<br /><br />These DVDs by Classic Media are the best because they have both the original Japanese and the American versions of the film. Ghidorah is just a sight to see. It is a huge suit that required extensive puppetry to control its wings and three heads. It’s part of the draw that makes Ghidorah one of the greatest enemies of Godzilla.

Shallow story
Scott Speedman returns to Toronto after serving in World War II. He’s unhappy with his lot and becomes a bank robber.

By far one of the best Zatoichi's films
Zatoichi’s Flashing Sword was the seventh film in the series. It has a dramatic start. First Zatoichi is being held prisoner by some Yakuza (gangsters) when he awakes and cuts up some flies with his sword. Then one of the men claims he shot Zatoichi with his rifle. Luckily the blindman is found by some peasants who care for him. There’s some comedy thrown in as well such as when Zatoichi is travelling and says he’ll buy some candy for some kids only to find out that there are about 15 of them. Zatoichi is mischievous as well such as when he doesn’t get paid for a message and dumps food all over the place as payback.<br /><br />The story is conventional Zatoichi fare with rival Yakuza gangs, a woman that needs saving and Zatoichi being the defender of the underdog.<br /><br />This is by far one of the best Zatoicihi’s from the 20 plus films that were put out. Right from the start the story is strong, the characters are well played, and the action at the end is top notch.<br />C

Never bought into the story
This movie presented itself as a semi-documentary mixing in what it said was real home video footage with acted scenes. Milla Jovovich says that directly into the camera at the start. The problem is the home footage is badly made and the woman in them Charlotte Milchard is not believable. The story itself is about alien abductions which are presented like possessions with people screaming and contorting and even levitating. I have to say the home footage ruined the entire thing for me. I never bought into it.

John Hughes classic with teen rebellion angst comedy & lost white kid syndrome
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was another smash hit by John Hughes. Matthew Broderick played Bueller who was the most popular kid at his high school and liked to manipulate the system, specifically to cut school and goof off with his friends. As the title suggests the story is all about Bueller skipping school to run around Chicago with his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) and his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck). It’s full of teenage angst, rebellion, irreverence, comedy, along with some lost white middle class kid syndrome.<br /><br />The first thing that stands out is the first person commentary by Bueller as he talks straight into the camera at the audience about what he plans to do. He fools his parents into thinking that he’s sick, then does the same thing to the school administration, and gets Sloane and Cameron and they have a down on the town. They go to a Cubs game, they go see some art, Bueller sings during a parade in downtown, etc. This is every kids dream of being able to skip school and hang out without their parents knowing. Along the way they throw in the teenage angst and lost white kids message such as in one scene where Cameron and Sloane say they don’t know what they want to do with their lives while they are growing up basically in a life of luxury as middle class Americans. Of course there’s plenty of jokes as well such as when principle Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) tries to sneak into Bueller’s house and runs into all kinds of problems like a dog and Bueller’s sister. It’s a great mix.<br />C

1 of Chan's classic HK action-comedies
Jackie Chan plays a sailor turned policeman tracking down pirates in Hong Kong in this historical action-comedy. The story includes the dynamic trio of Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao under Chan’s direction. The movie is one of the best combinations of martial arts sequences, comedy and high flying stunts. For instance, Chan is handcuffed to a flagpole, gets attacked by the pirates only to scurry up the pole and jump into an adjoining house. The most famous scene however is when Chan can’t hold onto a clock arm and falls three stories to the ground. The comedy is good as well making this one of Chan’s better movies.

Very smart and unique dark comedy about 2 brothers becoming unlikely killers
Boondock Saints is not your usual crime film. Two brothers Connor (Sean Patrick Lanery) and Murphy MacManus (Norman Reedus) decide to take out the Russian mafia in Boston after they try to close down their favorite bar. That points to the movie being a dark comedy.<br /><br />The movie tries to make light of the brothers killing gangsters. The first time they get rid of a Russian for instance they start by dropping a toilet on the head of one of them. Another time they fall through a ceiling and then miraculously spin around and shoot everyone in the room. You’re not supposed to take these scenes seriously. This is not Mission Impossible. Instead you’re supposed to laugh at how unlikely these situations. The movie definitely works. Plus it’s pretty original.<br /><br />Another part of the comedy is Willem Dafoe as FBI agent Paul Smecker. He constantly makes wise cracks about the Boston police he has to work with because they’re not too smart. He's also gay and sassy which is completely unexpected.<br /><br />The story telling is also interesting. They begin with the brothers planning out their hit, then it shows the aftermath and Smecker trying to break down what happened, then it flashes back to what the MacManus’ actually did.<br /><br />Overall it makes for a very good and quite unique movie.<br />C

Would wick follow the rules of assassins or break the to exact his revenge?
It’s amazing, but John Wick 2 went more for action over story and yet it was a great installment in the franchise. The film did have a plot and that was based around a dilemma for Wick. An Italian crime boss Santino D’Antonio pulls a marker on Wick and contracts him to kill his sister Gianna so that Santino might take over the family business. Santino then puts out a hit on Wick. Would he follow the rules of the assassins world he lived in or defy them to exact his revenge for D’Antonio double crossing him?<br /><br />There are then two scenes that foreshadow Wick’s dilemma. The first is when he’s told he has to honor D’Antonio’s marker because assassins follow rules and if he doesn’t he will be a hunted man. The second is when he’s reminded there is no fighting allowed in The Continental the chain of hotels run across the world for assassins and provides neutral ground for them. These are the regulations he questions.<br /><br />Of course people don’t go to John Wick films to dissect the plot. Instead they want to see what the man can do. Hence the movie doesn’t start with the story but rather Wick recovering his Mustang from the first film by taking out a whole garage full of gangsters. The series has always been innovative in its action sequences and this was no exception. At one point he takes out two guys with a pencil.<br /><br />In the middle of all that it did introduce some interesting characters as well. There was a personal duel between Wick and Cassian, Gianna D’Antonio’s bodyguard. They have a running battle throughout most of the film including a great climax inside of a New York subway car. There was Santino D’Antonio’s own bodyguard Ares who was a mute. Best of all though was the Bowery King who ran the homeless in New York City as part of an underground crime ring. He claims he is all seeing and all knowing.<br /><br />In the end, while there was less attention paid to plot there was more intense action making John Wick 2 quite an experience. <br />C

Was far better than expected
I didn’t know what to expect from this film. It could’ve been a bad action flick relying upon Dwayne Johnson’s muscles and looks. It turned out to be far better than I expected. First, I liked the fact that it started off with some action and jokes showing that it didn’t take itself seriously. Second, there were some big battle scenes that used lots of extras and not just CGI which I appreciated. The story itself focused upon whether Hercules was the real son of Zeus or just a myth and how different people played upon that. Overall good fantasy film.

Will a young man become a monster or not?
Yeo Jin-gu is Hwayi who was raised by a small gang of Korean criminals. He’s become a teenager and he’s at a turning point in his life. There’s a question of whether he will stay with the gang or will he leave. That’s where the title comes from. If he becomes a killer like the men who brought him up he’ll become a monster.<br /><br />This movie has a much more humanist tint to it than your usual Korean crime drama since it deals with a kid’s life. Even the big action climax has a human element to it. Other parts are more messed up like the story of how Hwayi ended up with the gang. The story seemed like it would be routine but turned out to have much more depth by its conclusion.

Wealthy people have too much time on their hands
The Ice Storm is about dysfunctional families. It starts off with a story about the comic book The Fantastic Four. Tobey Maguire says the comic taught that a family can be its own worst enemy. In this case, there’s affairs, kids going through puberty with philosophy and pseudo-psycho analysis thrown in. The movie had a super talented cast of adults like Sigourney Weaver, Kevin Kline and Joan Allen with a lot of very young actors at the time such as Christina Ricci, Tobey Maguire, and Elijah Wood. My main impression is that middle and upper class people have way too much free time on their hands and they get inside their own heads as a result and screw themselves up for no reason. This leads to some ridiculous moments like when Kline tells his kid Maguire not to masturbate in the shower because it wastes water and electricity or when Weaver tells Ricci that in aboriginal societies when kids start discovering their sexuality they’re sent off into the wilderness by themselves to discover who they are. Talk about adults not being able to communicate with kids.

Eastwood is conflicted working for the wrong man
Lalo Schifrin did the score for Joe Kidd and it’s his distinctive style that hits you during the opening of Joe Kidd. The story was written by Elmore Leonard and directed by John Sturges. Clint Eastwood is an ex-bounty hunter hired by Robert Duvall to track down John Saxon who is a Mexican bandit protesting against Americans like Duvall controlling all the land.<br /><br />I thought I knew all of Eastwood’s Westerns but this one was new to me. He plays a conflicted man because Duvall is actually the bad guy in the story as Eastwood quickly finds out. You can take a guess how that works out.<br /><br />This is part of the revisionist movement where the line between good and bad was often blurred and the characters were more complicated that traditional Westerns that were always black and white. Eastwood is a perfect example. He’s a flawed character but he knows what Duvall is doing is wrong.<br /><br />Saxon doesn’t get much screen time and that’s a good thing because his Spanish accent is horrible. He does get to tell off his girlfriend Stella Garcia which is quite good in terms of insults.<br /><br />Overall Joe Kidd is a good Western and I always like seeing Eastwood take care of business.

Good idea that fell flat
Freaky is a dark comedy take off of Freaky Friday where a mother and daughter switched bodies. This time high schooler Kathryn Netwon switches bodies with serial killer Vince Vaughn.

Discussion of the fundamental freedoms US is based upon
Dirty Pictures is a thought provoking movie that mixes fiction with documentary. It centers around the Robert Mapplethorpe art exhibit which was taken to court in Cincinnati for obscenity. It switches between the art director James Woods and his family, the court case, the deliberations of the jury and real interviews with people about the exhibit both for and against such as William Buckley and Salman Rushdie and footage of Mapplethorpe himself trying to explain his work. At its heart the film is a debate about what is protected by the 1st Amendment and what is not. I couldn’t recommend it more because it deals with the fundamental freedoms which the United States is based upon.

Take off of 1st Hellboy film but not half as satisfying
Blood And Iron was an animated take off of the first Hellboy film. Like that one it featured Ron Perlman as Hellboy and had all the main characters from Abe Sapien to Liz Sherman to Professor Bruttenholm of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. The story revolves around the Bureau investigating a haunting in Long Island which reminds the professor of a case he encountered before World War II that involved a vampire.<br /><br />The movie isn’t half as satisfying as the original Hellboy. That one really delved into the occult and had a dark tone to it. This one is what you would expect from a cartoon. It’s just not as serious with the subject matter.

Love and freedom enduring through past present and future
Cloud Atlas is an ambitious film covering several actors (Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, and others) playing different parts in different stories over different time periods. The stories don’t seem to be connected other than the actors at first, but then there are some prescient lines. One was about how unseen forces worked on people’s hearts and another was that people’s lives are shared through the past, present and future. There are also themes of freedom and love. The plot then begins to start to come together. I was annoyed by the fact that in a future period called neo-Seoul they had a bunch of white guys made up as Asians. This is still ok in Hollywood but it’s completely unacceptable. Cloud Atlas definitely isn’t for everyone. It takes some patience because to stick with it and see it to the end to figure it all out.

Story of pull hustling becomes one of self worth
This was a Martin Scorsese movie featuring Paul Newman and Tom Cruise as two pool hustlers with writing by Richard Price one of my favorite authors. The two have familiar roles. Newman is the wizened veterans that tries to teach the young and upstart Cruise some lessons about life and hustling.<br /><br />What’s funny about the movie is that when Newman takes Cruise under his wing you envision them playing high rollers and making lots of money. Instead they end up in run down parts of towns playing smokey pool halls playing nobodies. How is this supposed to be a lucrative affair?<br /><br />Halfway through the story changes however and comes to focus just upon Newman who comes to see pool as part of his identity. Now it’s not about hustling anymore but proving one’s self. That actually proves much more interesting than the first half.<br /><br />In the end Color of Money is inconsistent. The part just about Newman proves better than him with Cruise.<br />C

Shows how Blaxploitation had expanded into musicals and comedy
Darktown Strutters was another example of how Blaxploitation had expanded into many fields. The movie is a musical-comedy based around a female motorcycle gang in Los Angeles. It pokes fun at the motorcycle, female gang, exploitation genre as well as racism.<br /><br />The comedy starts right off the bat. The bikers are harassed by a group of Marines and when they follow the ladies into the bathroom an African warrior with a spear chases them out. Later they are pulled over by a police car with a flashing light that takes up the entire roof, and one of the policeman can’t get out of the car because he’s too fat. The movie also pokes fun at racism as the gang’s main opponent is led by a BBQ king that has henchmen dressed up like Klansmen.<br /><br />That being said there is no story until half way through the film when one of the bikers tries to find her mom. Otherwise it’s just the women going from one ridiculous situation to another trying to get laughs.<br /><br />The movie is also full of music with the best being a performance by The Dramatics singing Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get.<br /><br />For some light hearted fun Darktown Strutters isn’t half bad.

Memorable WWII espionage story with plenty of intrigue and mystery
Where Eagles Dare is one of my favorite World War II espionage stories. I first saw it as a kid and never forgot about it.<br /><br />Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton are sent undercover with a team to a secluded German castle in Bavaria to rescue a captured American general. That turns out to be a ruse for another secret mission only Burton knows about. That means there are plenty of twists and turns and betrayal before the audience finds out what’s going on. The story unravels like an onion with one layer after another being revealed all the way until the very end. It’s a great plot with plenty of intrigue and mystery.

Debbie Harry is a witch who wants to eat a kid she’s holding captive. He tells her horror stories to stave off his demise. That’s the basis for The Tales From The Darkside: The Movie. It has a good cast of characters from Steve Buscemi and Christian Slater in the first story to Julianne Moore, David Johansen, James Remar, and William Hickey. The stories vary widely as well from a mummy to a demon. They also don’t play out stereotypically like when Slater takes a meat cutter to the mummy or when Johansen is hired to kill a cat. These are interesting twits that keep the audiences’ attention.

A crime drama like only the Cohen Brothers can do
Fargo is one of the Cohen Brothers’ greatest films. It is a crime drama surrounding Jerry (William H. Macy) who goes to Fargo to hire two criminals Carl (Steve Buscemi) and Gaear (Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife for a ransom because he’s desperate for cash. Police chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) is called in to investigate. The story revolves around how everything goes wrong.<br /><br />The Cohen Brothers were known for their quirky stories. Here they spent their time on their characters. Macy played Jerry as completely hapless. He can’t do anything right. He tried a bunch of money deals that didn’t work out, and when Chief Gunderson comes to question him he gets so nervous he runs out. Buscemi did Buscemi as Carl is an incessant talker who can’t keep quiet. His partner Gaear hardly talks but is a maniac. Finally Chief Gunderson is always perky even when questioning suspects. The Cohen’s also played with the Scandinavian backgrounds of the characters and the setting in the northern Midwest with people always says “Ja” all the time.<br /><br />Bits of comedy are thrown into the story as well. For instance, the police interview three people about what Carl looks like and all they can say is that he looked funny and nothing else. Another time Chief Gunderson is called up by an old school friend who turns out wants to date her. He starts breaking down crying about his wife dying of leukemia, but he made that all up.<br /><br />Finally, you can’t watch this movie and not look at a woodchipper the same ever again.<br /><br />Overall, this was a great film that dealt with a serious topic but in an off kilter way that was highly entertaining.<br />C

The problem is he is losing touch with reality. He starts an experimental therapy called the Black Box to try to bring his memories back. The problem is Doctor Brooks played by Phylicia Rashad has her own agenda.<br /><br />Christine steals almost every scene she’s in. She tells him what he’s doing each day and why he’s doing it.

At one point she writes, “Don’t forget me” on her dad’s hand and it’s heartbreaking.<br /><br />The creepy part is the Black Box therapy. They’re like nightmares at first. What Dr. Brooks is doing is a big twist.<br /><br />The movie is a mind twist in more ways than one and a completely original story.<br />C

Enjoyable despite Desi Arnaz
Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, John Carradine in a horror movie? Yes I’m going to check that out. I immediately liked the mood it set with writer Desi Arnaz showing up at an old and empty mansion. The plot also has some twists and turns and I was fooled at least once. At the same time I could never take Arnaz seriously. He just didn’t play his role right. I felt like he was acting in a TV show rather than a movie.

Who knew trolls could be fun
The premise of Troll Hunter is a college documentary film crew comes across trolls in Norway. It uses the annoying handheld camera technique which became a fad after the Blair Witch Project and has continued to haunt horror movies since then. Some of the movie is predictable like the arbitrary running scenes in the dark where you see a lot of the ground and people’s legs. The trolls however are a sight to see. One time a man gets thrown around like a rag doll by a troll and it’s funny as hell. It makes for an enjoyable film.

Champions the English-American settlers pressured by the French and British
Last of the Mohicans was based upon the famous book of the same name. It champions the American settlers in New York during the French-Indian War. Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis), his father Chingachgook (Russell Means) and brother Uncas (Eric Schweig) come to protect two women Cora (Madeleine Stowe) and Alice Munro (Jodhi May) first from the French and then a band of Mohawks led by Magua (Wes Studi).<br /><br />The English-Americans are portrayed as people settling the Western part of the English colonies seeking freedom from the cities. They are under pressure from both the British army that wants to enlist them as soldiers and the French and their Indian allies who are attacking them to drive the English back. Hawkeye speaks about their need for independence while Cora comes to see their plight. Of course the fact that this is all on Native land is barely touched on. The Mohawks in the film have their own agency as Magua wants revenge upon Chingachgook for a past wrong but otherwise the Indians are portrayed as pawns in the larger conflict between the French and English for control of the East Coast of America.<br /><br />There are some great action scenes like the siege of a British fort and Hawkeye seems to be constantly protecting Cora and Alice and then chasing after them after they always fall into the hands of the bad guys. The film also has a touching ending.<br />C

Fun crime comedy featuring a group of inept crooks
The Big Hit is a crime comedy featuring Mark Wahlberg as Melvin, Lou Diamond Phillips as Cisco, Bokeem Woodbine as Crunch, and Antonio Sabato Jr as Vince who are a bunch of inept crooks. The story focuses upon the trials and tribulations of Melvin. He’s got a fiancé named Pam (Christina Applegate), a girlfriend named Chantel (Lela Rochon) and ulcers because of the two of them. Melvin’s crew ends up kidnapping an heiress named Keiko (China Chow) which adds to his troubles. It's supposed to make fun of the crime drama genre.<br /><br />The style of the movie is laid out in the opening as Melvin and company attempt to assassinate a gangster. Melvin does all the work, shooting his way through all the henchmen and when they’re all dead Cisco and Vince jump in, shoot some dead bodies, and congratulate themselves for a job well done. Later when they kidnap Keiko Cisco has her read a ransom note that’s full of spelling errors. Really Cisco is the base for almost all the comedy in the story. He's a completely ridiculous and exaggerated character but that's the point of the film, to make fun of the tough guy crime stories which are so common.<br /><br />There’s also plenty of action and gun play and even some romance thrown in as well. Wahlberg does a good job as the hapless main character. Phillips almost steals the show when he shows up in a scene. It all makes for a very fun movie to watch.

Are you willing to accept David Lynch's insanity?
When you watch this movie you have to ask yourself will you get with the craziness or not? The story revolves around Sheryl Lee being haunted and living multiple lives. It’s a prequel to the TV show. I’s only a loose thread which director David Lynch uses to hang all kinds of oddities upon. For instance at the start Lynch plays an FBI chief who talks really loud and presents two of his men with a woman with bright red hair and dress on who makes crazy faces which are full of symbolism. The movie is part Science Fiction, part horror, part acid flashbacks. If you know the TV show the film will actually explain a few major things which was surprising because I thought it would just be Lynch going crazy with all his oddities. There’s really nothing like it.

It's for kids and doesn't translate well for parents because it's sooo cheesy
I saw this when it came out in the movie theater and re-watching it I have the same reaction. it’s an underwhelming fantasy film aimed at kids. You think they would’ve done better with a story about dragons but no, they didn’t. Hence when a new dragon is born it has a cartoon like face so kids will think it’s cute. Another time the dragon rider Ed Speleers asks his dragon if they are together and would fight as one. Just makes you shake your head it’s so cheesy. That’s basically the blueprint for the entire movie.

Not only did they whitewash the story they picked people that couldn't act
I used to love the Avatar cartoon series. I watched it all the time with my son when he was a kid. We went to see The Last Airbender in the theater and was greatly disappointed.<br /><br />First, the movie was completely whitewashed. The cartoon is an Asian story and yet all the lead actors but the Fire Nation are white. Thus the three main characters Katara and Sokka who are Eskimos and Aang the Avatar are all white. This is not surprising as Hollywood doesn’t believe Asians can lead a blockbuster movie on their own. They really rub it in as well such as when Sokka and Katara go to their village and all the extras are Asian.<br /><br />Second, the film has some horrible acting led by Noah Ringer as Aang. His delivery is horrendous. Nicola Peltz as Katara and Jackson Rathbone as Sokka are no better.<br /><br />Finally, the action sequences are badly done. The choreography is second rate and the special effects often misused.<br /><br />It was such a mess that the sequel was never made.

This movie is an insult to stupid people
I regretted watching this movie as soon as it began. The whole basis for the film is for Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin to act as stupid as possible. It’s all low brow and dumb as hell. For instance the two try to get into the Bio-Dome facility to go the bathroom but the security guard says no and asks them if they want to get physical over the matter. Baldwin responds by jumping around and pretending like he knows martial arts. It’s just cringeworthy. I’ve never liked Shore and this movie confirmed that opinion. Very quickly it got painful to watch it was so stupid.

It's worth a watch
The X-Men comics and its derivatives have always been a favorite of mine so I was excited to see New Mutants. Then it got a wave of bad reviews so I didn’t know what to think.<br /><br />The movie is about five teens trapped in an asylum dealing with nightmares. The idea is that until they can control their abilities they will have to deal with these dreams. It’s a mix of mutants and horror.<br /><br />I thought New Mutants was interesting. You want to know what the asylum is all about. It connects with the wider X-Men and Wolverine universe through issues that were only mentioned in passing in those films. It’s still obscure in the film unless you’re a Marvel nut so it’s a shortcoming in the writing. The power of each kid comes out and they’re well done. Of course the ending is a bit predictable. It’s not as good as most Marvel films however, but it’s still worth a watch.

It's non stop jokes puns and spoofs
I loved this movie when it came out but haven’t watched it since then. I wanted to see whether the comedy aged well or not. I have to say it was still funny. Not as funny as when I was a kid however, but I still enjoyed it. The constant puns, the spoofs, etc. show some great writing. It takes some real talent to keep going almost non-stop like in Goldmember.

Powerful and emotional tale of the Holocaust filmed at Auschwitz
This is a very emotional and powerful story about a group of Greek Jews sent to Auschwitz. There’s the shocking entrance to the camp where people are stripped, their hair is cut, their numbers are tattooed on their arms, etc, while elderly and children are gassed. Then are put to debilitating work. What’s different from others in this genre is that it shows the oversees that helped the Nazis run the camps and how they took on the traits of their oppressors with their brutality. Part of the film was actually made at Auschwitz adding to the power of the story.

Terry Gilliam interprets Hunter S Thompson's book about a trip to Vegas
We were somewhere around Barstow when the drugs began kicking in. That’s the opening of Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas which is based upon a Hunter S. Thompson book of the same name. It was directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python Fame. It’s a drug fueled journey into Las Vegas in 1971 by Raoul Duke played by Johnny Depp who was obviously Thompson and his lawyer Dr. Gonzo played by Benicio del Toro. Originally they went there to cover a motorcycle race but most of it takes place in hotel rooms and casinos as the two trip off of a number of narcotics.<br /><br />Most of the film is just hilarious as the two hallucinate, stumble and mumble their way through Las Vegas. During the opening for instance Duke believes there are bats flying all around them as they drive into Vegas.<br /><br />There are a bunch of unexpected cameos as well. Tobey Maguire for instance place a hippy hitchhiker they pick up. Christina Ricci is a girl Gonzo found on an airplane who made paintings of Barbara Streisand while Gary Busey was a copy who pulled over Duke for speeding and then asked for a kiss at the end because he was lonely out in the middle of the desert.<br /><br />Added to that were Duke’s/Thompson’s reflections upon the recently deceased 1960s. He wrote about how he experienced the Summer of Love in San Francisco and then saw it all end. There are pictures of protests against the Vietnam War and for Civil Rights thrown in as well capturing the period of youth culture, experimentation, sex, drugs and Rock N Roll that gave forth to Thompson’s book.<br /><br />It’s a crazy mish mash that is a great and memorable trip.<br />C

A girl in a hopeless situation dreams of freedom
Sucker Punch had an amazingly complicated plot which confused many. That didn’t mean they didn’t enjoy it, it’s just that few could figure out what exactly was happening.<br /><br />The film starts with Baby Doll (Emily Browning) being institutionalized by her evil father. As soon as she enters the hospital things go into a multi-layered story that wasn’t so apparent at first to the audience. That stems from Baby Doll escaping into a fantasy world where she creates stories on top of stories. These were all entertaining because they were full of action. The point of the film was to immerse the audience into these tales and it was very effective at that. For instance, when Baby Doll first arrives in the institution she sees a number of things like a lighter, a map of the facility, a key, etc. All of these became the basis for her dreams to become free, and each one has its own soundtrack as well. In one she’s facing off against giant samurais, in another a dragon, etc. She employs the other members of the institution to help her. This is what lost audiences because they didn’t know why and how these transitions were happening.<br /><br />The theme is female empowerment and freedom. All the main characters are women who join Baby Doll’s struggle to escape. They appear in her dreams decked out with guns and acting like superheroes.<br /><br />The movie is still really good even if you don’t figure out the dreams within dreams.<br />C

French town isn't big enough for two conwomen
Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway are conwomen who decide a French town is not big enough for both of them. They make a bet who can con an app designer. I’ve always been a Rebel Wilson fan and she doesn’t disappoint here. Her character is much more interesting then Hathaway’s and she gets all the funny lines. They also do this bit about blending into the surroundings which is very clever.

One of those epic war films that gives the French perspective to the liberation of France
Is Paris Burning was one of the epic war films that came out in the 1960s-70s. It was a joint U.S.-French production. Most of the cast is French as it focused upon the Resistance with actors like Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo. There were some well known Germans as well such as Gert Frobe. At the end, the Americans show up featuring such personalities as Kirk Douglas, Glenn Ford, Anthony Perkins, and Robert Stack. Orson Wells makes an appearance as a European diplomat as well. The script was written by Gore Vidal and Francis Ford Coppola.<br /><br />It focuses upon the 1944 liberation of Paris and was based upon the book of the same name. It starts right after the assassination attempt on Hitler. The dictator appoints General Dietrich von Choltitz the responsibility of defending Paris. He arrives in the city where the Resistance is waiting for the Allies to arrive, but find out that they are going to bypass the city. That leads the anti-Nazis to decide to start an uprising that will force the West’s hand.<br /><br />The movie plays upon the evil of the Nazis. Choltitz for example is sent to Paris to destroy the city using demolitions if he fails to defend it. In another scene French citizens are being sent to a concentration camp by the Waffen SS. The Swedish consul to France attempts to save them due to the pleading of a wife of a man who is going to be sent away. He gets their release, but the SS don’t obey and the husband is gunned down. In a third scene a spy recruits people for the Resistance only to turn them over to the SS who execute them. That’s compared to French nationalism, such as when one of the resistance members says “Viva la France” before being shot by the Germans.<br /><br />When the revolt eventually starts it has almost a documentary feel at times because it was filmed in black and white. In fact, there are a few times when they cut in actual footage of the uprising. The revolt has a revolutionary feel to it as well as the resistance seizes the police command, and start putting up barricades. The end when France gets liberated is when most of the combat comes.<br /><br />Overall, the Is Paris Burning? does a great job providing the French perspective on the war in a lively film.<br />C

Singlehandidly created the stalker/slasher genre in American cinema
John Carpenter created an entire genre when he came out with Halloween in 1978. This was the first serial killer film which would lead to Friday the 13th, Nightmare On Elm Street and many more.<br /><br />What makes Halloween an effective movie is the tension it builds up. First, Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) goes to see Michael Myers at his asylum to find out he’s escaped. Then things shift to Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) who keeps seeing mysterious things like a car passing by but not with the driver she knows, a man standing behind some bushes, and finally Michael in her backyard. Carpenter also wrote the soundtrack and his trademark keyboard background music helps with the mood as well. This is what led to the whole stalker genre in film.<br /><br />The film’s not especially scary but it’s a good movie nonetheless and you can see how it affected all the slasher movies that came out afterward.

Pretty routine boxing story with not much standing out

Some good fun with Hart and Haddish
Night School matched the established stand-up comedian that had broken into movies Kevin Hart with the new up and coming stand up entering into acting Tiffany Haddish. The premise was that Hart as Teddy was a successful salesman who lost everything. He decided to restart his life by going to night school taught by Haddish as Carrie to get his GED. There was nothing earth breaking about the story but it was good fun.<br /><br />What drives the film is the interaction between Hart and Haddish. From the first time they meet at a stop light they go at it. That continues throughout the film. The one liners and insults come quick and fast.<br /><br />Some of the supporting characters get to shine as well. Taran Killam as Stewart the school principle tries to talk black when he thinks he’s being tough. Romany Malco as the paranoid Jaylen who is one of Teddy’s classmates, etc.

Family and friendship wrapped in the usual crude yet hilarious Harold & Kumar vehicle
A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas was the third and last installment of the franchise. This one deals with family and friendship. Harold Lee (John Cho) is attempting to deal with his in laws coming to Christmas. They are led by his father in law Mr. Perez (Danny Trejo) who is scary and intimidating. Kumar Patel (Kal Penn) on the other hand is trying to deal with his long time on and off girlfriend Vanessa (Danneel Ackles) who tells him she’s pregnant. Harold’s new married life has also meant he is playing it straight and narrow, and rarely sees Kumar anymore who remains a man child not having gotten past his college years where he did a lot of drugs. The movie attempts to resolve these three dilemmas through a story about obtaining the perfect Christmas tree for the holidays.<br /><br />Like the previous two Harold and Kumar movies this one is non-stop jokes. There’s Mr. Perez’s Christmas story about how he grew up always wanting a Christmas tree. When his family moved to America his mom finally promised that they would have one, but then she got stabbed and killed by a Korean gang with all the members having Kumar’s face. RZA and Da’Vone McDonald play a dynamic duo of Christmas tree salesmen trading off one being the angry black man and the other being the nice one to try to intimidate their customers to get the best price. Neil Patrick Harris makes his usual appearance this time heading a Christmas special at Radio City Music Hall, and playing a drug induced letch trying to pick up on some of his co-workers. He is always over the top in these movies and this was no exception. That leads to a waffle bot that ends up saving the boys from some Russian gangsters.<br /><br />If you like the previous Harold and Kumar movies then you’ll like this one as well. Most of the jokes are crude yet hilarious, just like the others.<br />C

With his in-laws out of the house for the day, Harold decides to cover his tracks, rather than come clean. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar, through New York City, their search for the perfect replacement tree takes them through party heaven – and almost blows Christmas Eve sky high..

A man wants something better for his kids but would have to leave his father in the process
Michael Fassbender belongs to a Traveller community who rob for a living. He wants to get out of the life for his wife and young son and daughter but his dad Brendan Gleeson won’t let him. It sets up a generational conflict between three generations of the same family.<br /><br />There are some really good scenes with the cops. One time they steal a car, paint it all yellow and drive it around town just to mess with the police. Another time they pull off a robbery and Fassbender stops at the local gas station to buy some cigarettes while they’re being chased.<br /><br />Fassbender provides another great character. He’s torn between what he’s used to doing and what he dreams could be. There’s a really touching moment with his son at the end. Gleeson provides another tough guy role as well.

Attempt to mix Korean action with Western totally flops
Warrior’s Way was a failed attempt to mix a Korean action film with a Western. Yang (Jang Dong-gun) was a warriors whose life goal was to completely destroy a rival clan so that he could become the greatest swordsman in history. When it came to killing the last member of the family which turned out to be a baby girl, he couldn’t do it. He ends up fleeing to the American west with the baby to try to start a new life, but his past catches up to him. The mixing of the two genres simply didn’t work.<br /><br />The first half is Yang and the baby being adopted by a small town. It’s supposed to be a fish out of water situation with some comedy but it doesn’t work. For instance he learns how to do laundry and gamble, but it’s not interesting. The only good part is how he hangs the baby off of various things like a clothesline.<br /><br />Then the second part is all action with Yang having to deal with some bandits and then his clan shows up trying to kill him. That doesn’t mean the story gets any better.<br />C

2 opposites attract over their love of guns and become criminals as a result
Gun Crazy was a unique Film Noir. First it wasn’t set in the city, but in small towns. Second, it was about a man and woman heist crew made up of Annie (Peggy Cummings) and Bart (John Dall) who were like Bonnie and Clyde. Third, Annie was a kind of femme fatale, but it wasn’t her sex that she used to control Bart, but her love of crime and guns that he couldn’t say no to.<br /><br />Annie and Bart are a contrast in characters. Bart always loved guns ever since he was a little kid, so much so that he tried to steal one when he was a pre-teen. He didn’t like killing however as shown when he shoots a little chick and regrets it afterward. Later he meets Annie at a carnival where she is a trick shooter. The two fall in love and get married. Nothing goes right afterward. She was a criminal and turned Bart into one too. The problem is she loved robbing people too much. She wanted bigger and wealthier targets to hit. They go from sticking up hotels and gas stations to banks and businesses. Each job gives her more thrills, and she eventually kills people, which is the reason why the movie is called Gun Crazy. Despite Bart’s good nature he can’t say no. As he tells Annie they go together like “guns and ammunition.”<br /><br />The two actors did a great job of looking different as well. Bart always seemed so calm and collected while Annie had a wild tint to her. She wanted to kill people but it always Bart that tried to stop her until she finally did it. The dynamics between the two kept the story going as much as the heists.<br />C

Richard as a Machiavellian figure plotting a fascist state in England
Richard III (Ian McKellen) is Lord Protector in a war torn 1930s England. He’s a Machiavellian figure plotting against his opponents to sieze power and create a fascist state. They even have him dress in uniforms that mirror the Nazi SS. The dialogue remains Shakespeare’s. The best part is when Richard does something dastardly and then speaks directly into the camera about it. The ending image is also fantastic. Robert Downey Jr however was completely miscast in this film.

1 level story of a dad looking for his daughter Other level how tech dominates people's lives
The first time I saw Searching I actually got frustrated and quit. That’s because the vast majority of the film is John Cho as David Kim typing, and searching and Facetiming on his computer and phone. I started to wonder if anything else was going to happen in the movie. Then when I watched it for the second time all the way through I really appreciated it as a crime thriller. Searching is also supposed to be a reflection upon how much technology has come to dominant people’s lives.<br /><br />The story is based upon Kim’s daughter Margot (Michelle La) suddenly disappearing after school. David becomes obsessed with finding her, seemingly even more than the police. His main tool is his computer. For instance, he goes through all of her contacts, her videos, searches out her school friends, her social media, etc. all to find any bit of information that might lead to her daughter’s whereabouts. He quickly finds out that he actually didn’t know his daughter at all. This is what makes it a thriller as David discovers not only what his daughter was doing the night she disappeared but what she’d been doing with her life in general.<br /><br />Even before that the opening tells the lives of the Kim’s through all the images, searches, and videos they posted on the Internet. Again, most of the movie takes place via David’s computer screen although it eventually moves away from that in the second half. That is to emphasize how important technology plays in everyone’s day to day lives. Some people like David work all day on their computers, and when they get home there’s little difference as they use them or their phones until they go to bed. This was a very innovative way to start the film off. As noted before, it was also a bit off putting as it seemed like the entire movie was going to take place on a computer which didn’t seem like it could hold for the entire length of the story. Luckily it eventually mixes up how that format is used.<br /><br />Searching works on both levels. It tells the story of David looking for his daughter with some surprising twists and turns at the end, and how people today can’t live without their technology.<br />C

Broderick Crawford plays the tough guy to go undercover
Broderick Crawford is an undercover policeman trying to find some mobsters involved with longshoremen in Louisiana. I like him as the tough guy who always gets into fights and cops an attitude. He’s got some good back and forth with his co-workers. He also has to go through a lot of intrigue before he finds the man he’s looking for. It all makes for a pretty good crime drama.

While not at top of the 90s horror films Wishmaster is still a good watch
The djinn originates from the ancient Middle East and was made popular in movies and TV shows as jinnis. In Wishmaster a djinn was about to be freed after giving three wishes to a ruler in the past but was exiled into a red ruby to stop it. In the present time the ruby is discovered and the djinn released upon the world. He goes around coaxing people into making wishes but turns them into horrible curses. That’s the fun of the movie to see how the djinn can twist around things people ask for.<br /><br />One of the best parts of the film is the appearance of other horror leads such as Robert Englund from Nightmare on Elm Street and Tony Todd from Candyman.<br /><br />While not at the top of the 90s horror films Wishmaster is still a good watch.<br />C

Another Sammo Hung action-comedy featuring the Five Lucky Stars plus a little Jackie Chan
My Lucky Stars was a Hong Kong action-comedy directed by Sammo Hung. It was the follow up to Winners and Sinners and featured the Five Lucky Stars again which were Hung, Richard Ng, Charlie Chin, Eric Tsang, and Stanley Fung. Jackie Chan was also featured as a Hong Kong policeman. The story is about the Hong Kong police recruiting the Five Lucky Stars to take on a Yakuza gang in Japan. Along the way they goof off and pick on each other before all the fighting starts at the closing.<br /><br />Hung’s movies were known for slapstick and juvenile comedy and My Lucky Stars was no different. When the police assign a female officer Sibelle Hu as Barbara Woo to work with them the Five come up with a plan for some of them to pose as robbers while another gets tied up with Woo. They do this in a revolving door fashion so each one of them gets to be close to Woo for a short bit. That’s compared to the end which is much more serious as all the fighting takes place as Jackie Chan, Hung and the rest of the Five take on a bunch of the Yakuza henchmen.<br /><br />This series of movies was highly successful in Asia and are still worth a laugh today.<br />C

The purge mixed with US partisan politics
The Hunt is a social satire about America’s current political divide. Think of it like the Purge mixed in with partisan politics. It’s based upon a group of liberals who kidnap some conservatives and hunt them down out of anger. Just the gist of the story shows you the movie is a dark and ridiculous comedy. For instance, after one of the liberals kills a man he says “Climate change is real.” Another time one of the conservatives runs into some refugees and claims they’re all crisis actors. You obviously have to suspend your sense of reality and just sit back and enjoy the film which is full of fighting and gun play. It actually turns out to be better than it sounds.<br />C

It's just the same thing as the first Expendables
The Expendables was the brainchild of Sylvester Stallone. He wanted to bring together a group of actions stars from the past and present into one big blockbuster action film. The first one didn’t always take itself seriously, had plenty of gunplay as well as an element of nostalgia to see someone like Dolph Lungren back on the big screen. It was a success which obviously meant it had to be turned into a franchise. The second release followed the exact same formula: Guest appearances, more stars, lots of explosions. In doing so they played it safe and basically re-made the first film with no surprises. If you saw the original then, there’s really no reason to see this one.

Ken Burnsing the Roling Stones and it's not good
This is a documentary about the Rolling Stones’ bassist Bill Wyman. Most of the film is based upon interviews with Wyman. They don’t have talking heads however as it’s just voiceovers with documentary photographs and footage and even a little animation. It comes off like a Ken Burns film with a very slow pace and little energy. It only picks up when they show some concerts or play a Stones’ tune. That’s not a good mix. It made an exciting band seem rather dull.

Great postapocalytpic story that mixes action adventure innocence & warning about war
9 is an animated post-apocalyptic film where humans have all died out and only animated dolls and machines have survived. The story revolves around 9 dolls that hold the secret to the future but are being hunted by an evil mechanical beast.<br /><br />The movie creates some great images. For instance it shows giant war machines that ended up wiping out the human race that created them. The beast the dolls are fighting is truly menacing. By doing so it warns of the dangers of the unbridled use of technology and the evils of war. A mix of World War I with H.G. Wells looked like the inspiration.<br /><br />The main draw is the sense of adventure and action. It also imbues the dolls with a sense of innocence despite the destroyed world they live in and the threat of the machines that they are facing.<br /><br />Overall, very well done.<br />C
