Dirty Dozen rip off but not half as good
Devil’s 8 was a rip off of the World War II movie the Dirty Dozen. In that film, a group of soldiers convicted of various crimes are taken out of prison to conduct a secret raid on a German base behind enemy lines. In this version, a federal agent named Faulkner played by Christopher George breaks out a group of six convicts to turn them into a special team to go after a moonshine ring run by a crook named Burl played by Ralph Meeker. This group has special talents like being good drivers and being a mechanic! Definitely something the Feds couldn’t find on their own. To encourage one of criminals to join the team they have dogs bark at him, which is played like they were attacking him. That pretty much sets the stage for this ridiculous movie.<br /><br />What’s the escaped cons job? They have to fix up and learn how to drive a series of old cars with big engines and reinforced bodies. They learn how to shoot, fist fight, and throw grenades out of their vehicles. That provides plenty of crashes and explosions which are supposed to keep the story going.<br /><br />They then set out to break up the Burl moonshine operation. That starts by going after the ring’s drivers.<br /><br />The real star of the movie turns out to be a young Joey Bishop appearing in only his third film.<br /><br />There are so many holes in this script it’s not even funny. The convicts go through no real transformation yet set off on this operation against a gangster. The car scenes aren’t that special and neither is the action. It really amazes me how this became a cult classic as there’s very little good going on within it.

A story about passion
The first thing that stands out about A Star Is Born is the cast. Bradley Cooper is a famous singer who is adrift due to alcoholism. He randomly hears Lady Gaga sing at a club and becomes consumed with her. Sam Elliott is Cooper’s brother and protective manager. Andrew Dice Clay is Gaga’s father who wants her to be a singer. Dave Chappelle is Cooper’s friend. They are backed up by a great script about following ones dreams as Gaga takes the leap of leaving her job to try to become a professional singer and falling in love with Cooper.<br /><br />Gaga is obviously a great singer and thus felt natural in her role. I didn’t know Cooper could hang with her but he did. More importantly you can see and feel the spark between them. You can feel the passion from the other characters as well such as when Clay urges Gaga to go see Cooper because it might be the break she’s always looked for or when Elliott tells Cooper he told him an important story about their father but Cooper was too drunk to remember. All together it’s just a great and emotional film.

This is a truly beautiful film
William Dafoe plays the misunderstood artist Vincent Van Gogh. At the start he asks if he can sketch a woman and she asks why. Then a restaurant owner demands that Van Gogh take down his paintings which were on display at his business. In another scene Van Gogh is sitting in a nearly empty room while the wind is blowing strongly outside. The camera comes in close to his head at an angle. Next it’s upside down. Then it comes at a different angle all meant to symbolize the instability in Van Gogh’s lidw. He takes off his boots and there are holes in them and his socks. He is the epitome of the starving painter. There are shots of him walking through fields looking for inspiration. The colors are vibrant and match Van Gogh’s mood from bright yellows to blue. It is a truly a beautiful movie.

Started off interesting about troubled boy's life but then the story just dragged
400 Blows is a classic of the French New Wave featuring the debut of Francois Truffaut as a director. It’s a coming of age story about Jean-Pierre Leuad. He does bad in school and his teacher always yells at him and then he goes home where his parents fight. I have to say it started off interesting seeing Leuad’s life but then started to drag. On the positive side you get to see 50s Paris both the good and bad. Leuad goes on adventures everyday skipping school. On the negative the pacing got slow and the story became repetitive. That included scenes that seemed like a waste such as when Leud and his friend go to see a children’s puppet show of Red Riding Hood. All the kids are very young and Leud is not. If it was supposed to show his lost innocence it could’ve been done in a much better way. By the end I just felt like the film was dragging.

Another John Hughes film about nerds having to find their self-confience
Ilan Mitchell-Smith as Wyatt and Anthony Michael Hall as Gary are standing at the door of their high school gym looking at a bunch of girls. They talk about how they wished they were popular. That they would go out and party and be the talk of the town, and two of their classmates Hilly (Judie Aronson) and Deb (Suzanne Snyder) would be wildly in love with them. Then two of the cool kids Ian played by Robert Downey Jr and Max played by Robert Rusler humiliate them by pulling down their shorts and telling the girls to look at them. That in a nutshell is what Weird Science and so many of John Hughes’ other films are about. That is a comparison between the cool kids and the nerds and outcasts. The former are stuck up mean snobs, while the later are the main characters that simply need to find some self-confidence to find themselves and their place in teen society. This one had a twist as Wyatt and Gary create a woman, the perfect woman named Lisa played by Kelly LeBrock. She sees Wyatt and Gary’s potential and tries to bring it out of them so that they can be happy and find the girls they’ve always wanted. This was obviously one of Hughes more outlandish stories but it still stayed true to many of his basic story principles and was great fun to watch.<br />C

A strugle over how to protect the innocent and punish the guilty
Lincoln Lawyer features Matthew McConaughey as Michael Haller a Los Angeles defense attorney. He claims he is playing a vital role in the criminal justice system but really is in it for the money. That’s seen when he shakes down client for a large amount of money. He’s hired by the wealthy Ryan Phillippe as Louis Roulet to defend him against a charge of assault and rape. Haller thinks he’s hit the jackpot and can cash in on this case, but instead finds himself in a struggle over innocence and guilt.<br /><br />Haller’s father said the most difficult thing for a defense attorney is to defend an innocent man. That’s because if he goes to jail it’s all the lawyer’s fault. At first Haller thinks he has an open and shut case with Roulet but it becomes much more difficult and becomes the dilemma of the story. By doing so the film shifts from a court procedural to a personal challenge to Haller’s character.<br /><br />McConaughey delivers another excellent performance. The plot is top notch and has unexpected twists that keep the audience guessing about what Haller will do.<br />C

Kids can be heroes too
This is a kids movie as a bunch of middle schoolers stumble upon a superhero’s lair. It’s pretty good for that genre.

Becomes mindless and repetative very quickly
The shogun’s heir, Takechiyo, is a young boy who is threatened by a series of assassins sent by Lord Abe a powerful government official. Takechiyo’s protector Lord Masamori Hotta (Tetsuo Tamba) hires Igo Gyobu (Ken Igata) and his crew of fighters to protect the heir. Sonny Chiba plays Shoza, a henchmen of Lord Abe tasked with killing Takechiyo during a trip to Edo.<br /><br />The movie is half action, half adventure. The opening scene where Takechiyo is attacked at a hot springs shows what the fighting will be like. This is not the stylized and choreographed samurai battles of the past, but more like Hong Kong Kung Fu flicks with lots of people, lots of swords, lots of death. The adventure part comes as Igo and his crew have to escape an entire army sent to hunt them down forcing them to go through forests, across huge gorges, etc.<br /><br />Unfortunately, things quickly devolve into endless chases, fight scenes that go on too long, etc. and the movie goes nowhere as a result.<br />C

Complacency leads to a life of struggle of their own making
Reality Bites is about a generation feeling lost even though its privileged and affluent. Winona Ryder is Lelaina who was the valedictorian at her college graduation, wanted to do something to help the world, made short documentaries, and ended up working at a morning TV show. Janeane Garofalo as Vickie said she didn’t know what she wanted to do and went to work at The Gap with her college degree. Ethan Hawke was Troy who never finished school, just got laid off and was an aspiring musician. They were all very smart. Two of them had degrees, and yet they ended up with low paying jobs, questioning their futures, and generally being unhappy with how their lives were heading.<br /><br />Each day is supposed to be another example of the pointlessness of their lives. Vickie becomes the manager of the Gap. Troy gives up working feeling like it impinges upon his freedom. Lelaina gets fired when she embarrasses her boss on TV. Their complacency leads to a life of struggles of their own creation.<br /><br />The movie actually deals with two serious issues but sidelines them. Vickie is afraid that she might have contracted HIV and their other friend Sammy (Steve Zahn) is afraid to come out about his sexuality with his parents. They get almost passing treatment.<br /><br />In the end, when you’ve seen people face real struggles in life these types of stories just aren’t appealing.<br />C

One of the greatest Pixar movies EVER!
Up is by far one of the greatest movies ever made by Pixar and that is saying a lot. It’s about overcoming the generation gap between Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner) a grumpy old man who never got over the loss of his wife and Russell (Jordan Nagai) an overanxious kid who wants to get his merit badge for Assisting the Elderly from the Wilderness Explorers. They make an odd couple and a very hilarious one at that as they take an adventure together.<br /><br />The first thing you have to mention about Up is the beginning. It covers the love story between Mr. and Mrs Fredricksen ending in her death. It was VERY daring of Pixar to start off with such a melancholy beginning to a children’s animated film. Really if you didn’t get a tear in your eye there’s something wrong with you.<br />C

Ross character drives movie as she acts as a force of nature to hunt down man that killed her dad
True Grit was the Coen Brothers remake of the famous John Wayne western. Like the original the story is based upon the odd couple of the headstrong 14 year old Matti Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) who hires the drunk U.S. Marshall Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to hunt down the man Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin) that killed her father. Ross acts like a force of nature telling Cogburn and others their business and driving them on when they aren’t interested or too much with drink to move. She also wants to kill Chaney with her own hand. Cogburn when given the circumstances is a good tracker and knows his way around criminals and guns. As Ross says he’s got “True Grit.” The differences between the two drives the adventure they go on.<br /><br />The movie lacks the usual quirky moments of a Coen Brothers production. The closest to that is Matt Damon’s character of Texas Ranger LaBoeuf who likes to hear the sound of his own voice.<br /><br />It is in line with the revised Westerns that began in the 1970s where there wasn’t the stark difference between good and evil traditionally taken up in this genre. Cogburn for example loves to drink and doesn’t like taking prisoners.<br /><br />Overall, it was a very good film with Ross really being the star.<br />C

Good mix of politics and ninjas at the start of the Tokugawa era in Japan
Samurai Spy takes place at the very start of the Tokugawa era before the family had fully established its control of the country. It was still facing off against the Toyotomis. The movie focuses upon the ninja clans that were competing against each other during this time. Koji Takahashi plays a member of the Sanada clan that is neutral in the conflict. He runs into trouble when his friend he’s traveling with played by Saizo Krigakure wants to side with the Toyotomi.<br /><br />The movie has a good mix of intrigue and action sequences. Both the Tokugawa and Toyotomi believe that Takahashi has important information and constantly come to him trying to buy him off or kill him. That’s where the ninjas come in. It’s good to see them throughout the film instead of just at the end. There’s also some great cinematography like when a ninja confronts Takahashi in a hallway and a slim ray of light hits him down the middle from an open door.<br /><br />Finally Takahashi’s character is different from traditional cinema. In Japanese movies it’s always the group like the family and clan that takes precedent. Here Takahashi is basically acting alone. His desire is to have peace and escape the wars that were still part of Japan that’s why he refused to take sides over money. The movie thus stood against those who schemed for power.<br /><br />Overall it’s a very good mix of politics and ninjas.

Jolie starts off as eye candy sort of saves things in the middle but then a horrible finish
Tomb Raider was based upon the very popular video game. What does the opening say about the movie? First, she’s not your usual treasure hunter as she’s fighting a robot with guns. Second, she’s filthy rich living in a huge mansion. Last they have her in a shower scene showing off her body. Basically this is going to be a boy’s fantasy. That raises the question of whether Angelina Jolie was able to make something out of this role or would she just be eye candy during the entire film? Well the movie does end up being interesting in the middle with Croft having to compete with some bad guys to discover the mystery. There’s lots of chasing and action. The ending isn’t that great however and Jolie and Jon Voight who plays her father do horrible English accents. So in the end that crummy intro pretty much foretold the rest of the movie.

1 of the greatest con movies of all time
The Sting is a classic crime drama. From the opening notes of Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer which is the theme song to the first scam Robert Redford pulls you know this is going to be an interesting story. The story focuses upon Redford and Paul Newman trying to pull off the ultimate con game during the Great Depression in Chicago. The twist is they go after one of the biggest mobsters in the city.<br /><br />The movie was directed by George Roy Hill who worked with Redford and Newman on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid previously. This collaboration was much better.<br /><br />I love how they set up the con. It goes in stages and employs a small army of men to pull it off. Plus there are some big twists to throw you off balance. It makes you think of the Oceans 11 series in terms of the complexity of the plan even though this was obviously made years before.<br /><br />In the end The Sting is one of the greatest con movies of all time.

Fun and heartwarming story
I remember taking my son and niece to this film when it came out. It appeared to be just another animated movie that the kids might like. We had no idea the world we would be introduced to which we still enjoy to this day. First off it introduced everyone to the minions. My fav scene of theirs might be when three of them dress up as a family and go to a department store. They of course cause chaos. Then there’s the effect of the three adopted daughters have on super criminal Gru. It’s a fun and heartwarming story.

Look at it as a comedy and you'll enjoy it
Steven Seagal as a cop with an attitude that doesn’t care. DMX as the criminal. Anthony Anderson as his sidekick. Tom Arnold is added for some extra laughs. Sounds like a winning combination to me. They even make fun of Seagal’s tough guy persona by making him a traffic cop. The stunts they have Seagal do are ridiculous but I’m willing to overlook that. There was even a twist thrown in before the conclusion. It was a lot of fun and that’s the way to watch it because it can’t be taken seriously.

Should be considered one of the great fight movies right up there with Rocky Creed The Fighter
Warrior was about two brothers Tommy (Tom Hardy) and Brendan (Joel Edgerton). Tommy was a former Marine that got into fighting. Brendan was a high school science teacher who was a former MMA fighter. When faced with debt and the possibility of losing his home he returned to the ring to earn extra money. You can guess that the two siblings will face off in the climax.<br /><br />The second part of the movie is all about the major MMA tournament the two brothers enter. The two are complete opposites. Tommy was an Internet sensation who relied upon brute force. Brendan was a nobody who had to use wrestling technique. Of course that’s all build up until the two brothers have to fight each other, but it does not end as expected. It’s also very emotional.<br /><br />There have been some great fight movies from the original Rocky to the re-imagining of that franchise with Creed to The Fighter. Warrior ranks right up there with them.<br />C

Gets right into the action
Attack On The Iron Coast is about an Allied attack upon a Nazi command center during WWII. It’s driven by Lloyd Bridges’ character who is a fanatic about training his men and carrying out his mission. What’s good besides him is that the story gets right into the action without any distractions like a love story which happens all too often in this era of war films. That’s what I want in my combat flicks.

Owen Wilson walks away with the film playing a good hearted manchild
Matt Dillon is split between his new married life with Kate Hudson and his old bachelor days when his friend Owen Wilson falls on hard times and moves in with them. The formula is that Wilson starts something innocent like asking all of Dillon’s friends over to watch a college football game on TV but then goes overboard when he hires some strippers as well. This then leads to further problems in Dillon’s life. Wilson really is the star of the film. He does great in his role as a manchild but he also has a heart which comes out in the 2nd half of the movie.

Questions faith and morals
First Reformed is a slow but powerful deliberation on faith and morals. Ethan Hawke is a priest who deals with abortion, the threat to the environment, suicide, extremism, the death of his son, addiction, and even love. It all tests his belief and even makes him feel inadequate sometimes. All that was fine but I had questions about the ending. I could see some of it coming but just thought they could have a better resolution to Hawke’s dilemma.

Throw back sci-fi film by JJ Abrams
Super 8 was JJ Abram's attempt to make an old school sci-fi film. How is this a throwback movie? First, it’s set in the 1970s. Second, Abrams imbues the main characters Joe and his friends with a real sense of innocence. For example, after they see a train accident all one of the kids thinks about is developing his film, and he’s going to steal some money from his mom to do that. He later becomes jealous of the main character Joe because a girl likes him. Third, Abrams takes a long time to expose what the monster looks like and what it’s about. Instead he implies what the monster is doing like stealing engines and eating dogs. In the end, the monster is more about suspense and tension than being scary. It actually has a plan as well and is not a mindless beast.<br /><br />Finally, the kid actors do a fantastic job. When they try to make their movie for example they talk with a monotone and speak haltingly in a very realistic manner because they have no experience making a film. The monster is also very original. This all made Super 8 another great release by Abrams.<br />C

Shaped how Americans view the West
Stagecoach is a classic John Ford-John Wayne collaboration. It’s important because it includes so many message about how Americans viewed the West and how movie makers like Ford shaped it. First, John Ford liked filming in the southwest and Stagecoach was shot in Arizona. You can see that in the opening with the flat plain and then the distinctive Arizona mountains sprouting up. Next is the diversity of characters that travel in the stagecoach from the whore, to the lady, to the drunk, to the gambler, to the outlaw. These are all common to this day. There’s the dangerous Apaches. Every time they appear menacing music comes on and they make up the dramatic climax where 1 shot by a white man takes down 2 Apaches! The scene also includes the chivalry and innocence of the Caucasians as opposed to the savagery of the Apaches. Ford even threw in a gunfight afterward to give an example of frontier justice.

Wong Kar-Wai's most esoteric film?
Ashes of Time is by far director Wong Kar-Wai’s most esoteric film. The movie is made up of a series of short stories mixed in with reflections and remembrances by the main character. There’s a man that drinks wine so he forgets everything. There’s a woman with a split personality. There’s a famous swordsman who goes blind. A hero that fights for an egg. Three themes that are the tales are love, loss and memory. The woman with the split personality for instance has been so hurt by romance that she believed she was a sister and brother duo with the former loving a man and the latter loving his sister.<br /><br />The cinematography by Christopher Doyle was great as usual. The tones are rich. There are great angles and imagery with plenty of shadows.<br /><br />Overall however, this one of Kar-Wai’s weaker releases. The themes are ones that he’s used before but the stories aren’t as engaging.<br />C

Think it's funnier than the first Big Momma
I think Big Momma 2 was much better than the original. That’s because the writing was stronger and they put Martin Lawrence in funnier situations. For instance they have him do a take of off 10 running down the beach in a swimsuit and yellow braids like Bo Derek or another time he faces a drunk woman at Bingo who accuses him of stealing her man.

Ang Lee thought the story was a human one about Banner instead of being about The Hulk
This was the first Marvel movie version of The Hulk. It was directed by Ang Lee and featured Eric Bana as Bruce Banner, Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross, and Sam Elliott as General Thunderbolt Ross. The film was a new version of the Hulk origins story. It begins with Bruce Banner’s father experimenting with Gamma radiation, which was passed along to his son Bruce who also becomes a scientist. He takes up Gamma research as well, which leads him to become the Hulk. Like many science fiction-fantasy stories the theme is that when humans mess with nature bad things result. The problem was it didn’t have the right balance between the characters and the Hulk.<br /><br />The first thing that hits the viewer was Lee attempting to relay the story to the audience like a comic book. That meant all the transitions had the look of a comic book with split screens, fades left and right, up and down, etc. This was the first and only superhero movie to do that, and it was a nice nod to the comic fans.<br /><br />The problem with The Hulk was that it spent far too much time on the people, and not enough on the Hulk. First, there’s Banner and Ross’s research. Then there’s the government interference, etc. There’s Banner’s crazy father still carrying out experiments, etc. etc. etc. Lee interpreted the story as a human one about Banner struggling to control the beast inside of him, and the government trying to control him. That meant even when the Hulk showed up he was subordinated to Banner. That’s not why people watch superhero movies however. If you go see a comic book movie you don’t want to spend most of the time watching the heroes alter ego, you want to see the superhero. Ang didn’t get that.<br />C

Should cut the 2nd half from this movie
This was Tyler Perry’s first venture into films. It sticks a lot to Perry’s formula he created while making plays. That starts with a wronged woman, Kimberly Elise, being saved by the right man, Shemar Moore. Mixed in are some laughs when Perry shows up as Madea acting all crazy. I think there could have been a lot more Madea but that took a few more films for Perry to figure out. There’s also some music and plenty of church as well. Elise gets some sweet revenge. There are problems however and that starts in the second half. First Elise’s story gets overly melodramatic and dragged out. Second there’s a side story about Perry’s drug addicted whife that was unnecessary and should have been cut out. This was a legacy of Perry’s plays which I always felt were too long.

The govt is the bad guy manipulating people in order to get bigger convictions
Snitch is about the government manipulating low level criminals in the hopes that they can net bigger fish. Dwayne Johnson’s son is arrested for accepting a package of drugs and charged with a federal crime unless he leads the government to a bigger drug dealer. The problem is he knows no one which forces Johnson to try to seek out a criminal to save him. The government is the bad guys forcing a law abiding man to risk his life so that the prosecutor played by Susan Sarandon can claim some victories with arrests. It’s a very cynical message.<br /><br />The movie does a good job putting Johnson in the middle of a maelstrom with the authorities on one side and the gangs he gets involved with on the other. It’s like he has no control over his life anymore and it’s all due to the ambitious Sarandon.<br /><br />The cast is also really good. Besides Johnson and Sarandon there’s also Jon Bernthal who helps out Johnson, Barry Pepper as a cop, Michael K. Williams as a drug dealer, and Benjamin Bratt as a Mexican cartel leader.

Got criticized when came out but is way better than most DC movies
The Green Lantern got panned by the critics when it came out. Ryan Reynolds who played the Lantern said he didn’t like the movie either and made a small jab at it in the first Deadpool. Given how bad the subsequent DC films were however, maybe it needs to be re-evaluated.<br /><br />The story focuses upon Hal (Reynolds) being picked to be the Green Lantern. He has to take on an alien known as Parallax that harnesses the power of fear. He infects a scientist named Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard). At the same time Parallax itself is heading towards the home planet of the Green Lantern Corps.<br /><br />Hammond may look goofy as the villain with his head swelling up to a huge size, but the story provided him with good motivation. He was a genius in his field, and yet felt slighted by everyone. His resentment fueled his actions. On the other hand when he gets the huge head some people act like there’s nothing the matter with him. That’s a bad bit of writing.<br /><br />Some criticized the film for having too much CGI including the Green Lantern’s costume. That might not have been needed but the rest is fine. The Green Lantern turns his thoughts into reality using his ring and there is no way else to create that other than computer graphics. There was also a crack in the Green Lantern corps that created added tension.<br /><br />Making a comparison today The Green Lantern really is better than almost all the DC releases.<br />C

Story about white fears of black men and the racist criminal justice system
Marshall featuring Chadwick Boseman focuses upon a young Thorogood Marshall when he was just getting started as a lawyer for the National Association for the Advancement for Colored People (NAACP). His job was to take on criminal cases where blacks were charged for simply being African American. The film focuses upon a case involving Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown) a chauffeur who was charged with raping his employer Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson). As Marshall’s boss Walter Francis White (Roger Guenveur Smith) tells him this case is like the famous book Native Son with Spell being Bigger Thomas threatening white womanhood. The film focuses upon white fears of blacks and the racism of the criminal justice system.<br /><br />Because of the racist judge Marshall isn’t allowed to speak in court and has to have his white co-lawyer Sam Friedman (Josh Gad) who’d never done criminal cases do all the talking. This is a play upon the usual Hollywood trope where the story starts out being about a black person but then the lead character turns out to be white. This time it’s the black lawyer who is the strategist. Boseman does a great job being the moral and intellectual center of the pair. Gad is no push over however. His character argues his points, especially how he will have to deal with the legacy of this case because it took place in his hometown while Marshall will go off to his next case in some other part of the country. The two end up forming a real bond. They’re both outsiders as well, Marshall is obviously black while Friedman is Jewish.<br /><br />The inability of the U.S. justice system to fairly try black people is laid out during the jury selection process. The prosecution excludes all black jurors and the judge intervenes to keep a juror who admits that he is racist and antisemitic. Studies have shown that in criminal cases to this day District Attorneys attempt to exclude black jurors when blacks are being prosecuted.<br /><br />The case ends up taking a turn which makes it far more difficult for Marshall and Friedman than it already was.<br /><br />This movie really didn’t get much of an audience when it came out and that’s a shame. It’s a final legal procedural dealing with race and the faults with the American justice system.

Like a lot of Hong Kong movies the story in The Two Great Cavaliers is very, very loose.

It gets interesting when they throw in a jealous Angela Mao Ying and some double crossing. Still it’s a very inconsistent film.

The story plays upon the moral dilemma facing Cooper. He has has talk with London for example about how people in his town forgave him for his past but now he can’t escape it and might have to kill someone. His family are all played as very dangerous people. That’s what most of the movie consists of the growing tension and threat of violence that Cooper is facing.

Like many Ben Stiller movies only moderately funny
Ben Stiller really enjoys playing in satires. Dodgeball was a spoof of the sports genre. Stiller played White Goodman who owned Globo Gyn who believed most people were ugly and needed to work out and have plastic surgery to look better. Vince Vaugh was Pete LaFleur who ran Average Joe’s Gym who appealed to not only the average but the hopeless. When LaFleur finds out that not only is he in foreclosure on his loan for his gym, but that Goodman wants to buy it. LaFleur decides to form a dodgeball team out of his members to try to win its grand prize of $50,000 to pay off his mortgage.<br /><br />The problem is like many of Stiller’s other movies Dodgeball is just sort of funny. Yes, there are some times when it’ll get a chuckle like when LaFleur’s team plays their first dodgeball game against a troop of Girl Scouts who get disqualified because one of their members was on three different kinds of steroids or when Goodman says nobody makes him bleed his own blood and then he catches his ride from one of his workers on a moped or when they have to wear S&M costumes for their first tournament round. None of these will make you really laugh however.<br />C

Best Gamera movie by far
Gamera vs Monster X was released in Japan as Gamera vs Jiger and was the six release in the franchise.<br /><br />This time things begin with an archeological team trying to remove artifacts from a Pacific island when Gamera shows up. The team doesn’t know whether Gamera is trying to stop them or help them. Then another big monster Jiger shows up, and things get right down to business. That makes this film stand out because too many in the series spent too much time on the humans, almost always little kids, rather than the big guy. The constant action is what makes this BY FAR the best Gamera moving out of the originals. That being said, if you’re not a fan of Japanese monster movies this will not appeal to you. Guys running around in plastic suits is an acquired taste.

Tried to add some new elements to keep the Ultra series going in its 6th season
When I was a kid growing up I never liked Ultraman Taro. I didn’t see the show because they didn’t play it in America but I had Ultraman books and other things and I never liked how Taro looked. Not only that but the Zariba of All Territory (ZAT) group that defends the planet had some really goofy looking vehicles like a car with a clown nose on the front. Watching the show decades later it’s actually pretty good. Taro was the 6th Ultraman and was a little kid given birth by Ultra Mother and sent to Earth. First off the first couple Kaiju look pretty good. As the Ultra series devolved into a solely children’s show the monsters deteriorated as well. Most of them just looked goofy throughout Return of Ultraman and Ultraman Ace years. Plus Taro busts out with some cool weapons like an Ultra Spear in the second episode. Finally various members of the Ultra family show up right from the start. I think this was a realization by the company that Ultraman needed some slight revisions to the formula otherwise it would have been the sixth season of watching the exact same thing.

2 egos out of control
Ben Affleck and Samuel Jackson get into a car accident which quickly spirals downwards as their egos get out of control. Along the way the movie trashes rich and powerful law firms as being greedy and unethical. It makes for a very interesting and engaging film. Jackson gets to do his angry man act a couple times but really it’s more about him battling his inner demons and fighting against the odds. He’s much more interesting than Affleck who plays a jerk most of the time.

Interesting story and characters in this action flick
Protégé is a story of revenge and intrigue. After all of the people close to Maggie Q are killed she goes after those responsible. The story turned out to be better than I thought with a degree of intelligence not usually seen in your typical action flick. Maggie Q’s character was interesting with her mix of sarcasm and wit. Michael Keaton was also in it which is always a plus. He played a thinker and a fighter. Finally, the action scenes were well done although there was one with Keaton where you could tell where the stunt double stepped in every time.

Yeah it's cheesey but so what Its like an old exploitation flick
Ghost Of Mars was a horror/sci-fi flick by John Carpenter where a small group of police officers led by Pam Grier go to an isolated mining town to pick up an infamous criminal played by Ice Cube only to find “ghosts” of an ancient civilization of Mars have turned people into psychotic killers. The story is about the police trying to survive. The movie is infamous for temporarily ending Carpenter’s career because it was such a flop at the box office.<br /><br />The movie was never going to win any awards for style or substance because it’s just like an old time exploitation movie where crazy people dressed like they came out of the Road Warriors series run around trying to kill the police. That being said, if you accept for what it is it’s pretty good. The movie is action packed from almost the start.<br />C

Satire of cultural racism in America
Hair Wolf is a short film satirizing cultural racism and appropriation. It begins with a white girl walking into a black beauty supply shop and asking to touch a black girl’s hair. It then ups the ante when the same girl walks into a hair salon and asks for braids “like Rihanna.” Inside her backpack are found fake butt pads. The girl also has affects upon blacks as the woman who offers to do her hair goes in the back with her and then comes out with a long blond wig on. She then gets the black man in the hair salon to go out with her.<br /><br />All these scenes play upon the long history racism in America. Whites love taking things from African Americans when they become popular. At the same time black culture is full of self-hate due to centuries of living in a white dominated country such as belief in light skin being better than dark and “good hair” being straight like whites. In just over 11 minutes director Mariama Diallo is able to bring up many of these issues, poke fun at them, while bringing them to the fore as well.<br />C

1 of the best Farrelly Brothers movies
Stuck On You was another Farrelly Brothers movie. It features Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear as conjoined twins who go to Hollywood because Kinnear wants to try to make it as an actor. They actually toned down their over the top style for this film and made it a more good hearted story about the love between the two brothers. Thus there’s scenes of the two playing football in high school, hockey when they’re adults, boxing together, Damon coming up with ideas for the TV show Kinnear gets on, etc. it’s actually a pretty endearing portrayal. There’s also a slew of celebrities who make their appearance from Meryl Streep to Cher to Jay Leno and others. It’s one of my favoriate Farrelly Brothers movies.

What's the difference between perfection & obsession & is either good for the soul?
Whiplash is about the relationship between a young jazz drummer Andrew (Miles Teller) and his teacher Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons) who is the top Jazz instructor at the college. Fletcher runs his class like an army. He’s a perfectionist and relentless. When he walks into class all the band members jump to attention. He demands everything be perfect such as when he singles out a trombone player for being out of tune. He calls him names, makes fun of him, and then kicks him out of the band. The student breaks down and cries as he leaves. It turns out the kid wasn’t out of tune he just wanted to make an example out of him showing that he’s a bit of a sadist as well. Andrew’s problem is that he wants to be perfect as well. When they mix together it makes for an explosive situation. The movie asks what’s the difference between the pursuit of perfection and obsession and is either one good for the soul?<br /><br />The film has two great performances from Teller and Simmons. Fletcher’s verbal abuse is hilarious as it is disturbing. He stands out for using and abusing his students and it even looks like he enjoys it. It’s also a very different kind role for him. He doesn’t usually get to play the lead and definitely not something like this. Teller on the other hand plays his role like a maniac. He’s relentless because he wants to be a great musician. It’s like he has a obsessive compulsive personality disorder.<br /><br />It all makes for a unique tale.

There are no surprises in this submarine movie but it still had enjoyable action
Hunter Killer was an attempt to revive the threat of Russia like during the Cold War. A Russian sub is sunk and then an American one that was chasing it goes down as well. The U.S.S. Arkansas commanded by Commander Joe Glass (Gerard Butler) is sent to investigate. It turns out a Russian general is launching a coup and Glass has to stop him.<br /><br />The movie uses all the usual scenes from submarine movies. That includes torpedoes, mines, depth charges, having to go silent to avoid sonars, water leaks, etc. Despite this all being cliché it still creates tension. There are some added twists as well when the Arkansas has to face the Russian rebels. The dilemma obviously is whether the Arkansas can help end the coup without starting a war between the United States and Russia.<br /><br />While not wholly original Hunter Killer proved to be a good action drama.<br />C

Gong Li will stop at nothing to get justice after he husband is kicked in the nuts!
I love director Zhang Yimou’s films and his collaboration with Gong Li. This film is about the search for justice but also her stubbornness. Gong Li’s husband is kicked by the village chief and she goes from office to office, person to person seeking some kind of judgement. The funny bit is the husband got hit in the nuts, which is why Gong Li is so mad.<br /><br />Gong Li is a sight to see. She’s deep into a pregnancy, wobbles around and takes every type of transportation imaginable to get from town to town to city to complain about her husband’s situation.<br /><br />Interestingly it doesn’t portray a faceless and unkind bureaucracy. Instead, one officer is actually very understanding and so are others. The problem is Gong Li isn’t satisfied.<br /><br />The story reveals a lot about Chinese society and government. Officials for instance are still talking about self-criticism and community harmony which comes from Chinese Communist doctrine. Also the stark contrast between the countryside where Gong Li lives and the cities she travels to.<br /><br />It’s an all encompassing and engrossing film.

Dont' mess with mother nature
The Island of Dr Moreau was an adaptation of H.G. Wells book of the same name. It starred Burt Lancaster as Dr. Moreau and Michael York as Andrew Braddock who becomes shipwrecked upon Moreau’s island. At first he’s entranced by Maria (Barbara Carrera) a beautiful woman that lives with the doctor. Then he finds out that the doctor is experimenting upon animals to give them human characteristics like standing upright and human like faces. Braddock quickly assesses that Moreau is a mad scientist and that the island is run like a slave colony. The film used the common trope in science fiction and fantasy that to mess with mother nature only leads to bad outcomes.<br /><br />The movie has a number of great parts. The make up on the man beasts was great. Dr Moreau laid down a set of laws for his man beasts to try to humanize them and those that broke it were punished by being sent to the House of Pain. Plus there’s a twist at the end.<br /><br />Overall a very nice 1970s science fiction film.<br />C

What will you do for love?
You wouldn’t know it at first but Mud is about what people will do for love. Two young teens Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland find Matthew McConaughey living on an island in the rural south. He’s waiting to be re-united with his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon. The two kids end up helping him out. Why? Because they’re impressed by his love for Witherspoon. The story is slow to get to its point. I think the pace is symbolic of the southern setting. When it does reach its climax however its worthwhile. Sheridan is very endearing because he looks at McConaughey as a type of role model and ends up testing what he’ll do to find a girl.

Dilemma of a robot with a consciousness but the ending was too dragged out
The Story in A.I. Artificial Intelligence is a familiar one. It’s been dealt with before in movies like Blade Runner and I, Robot. It’s about the consequences of humans giving robots a consciousness. All these stories begin with hubris. In this case William Hurt poses as God and wants to create a boy robot that can love humans. Being a Steven Spielberg movie it also includes childhood innocence that he often used. That’s portrayed in the robot boy Haley Joel Osment who is like a newborn in the world and has to learn everything. There’s also a fairy tale element to it in the second half when Osment goes on a quest inspired by the story of Pinocchio. My main complaint is that the movie went on too long. I felt like the last part was just unnecessary and they should have ended it earlier but that meant they couldn’t have the happy ending that Hollywood requires. Instead they drag it out to try to pull upon the audience’s emotions.

Crazy erotic Japanese cop story that doesn't fulfill inconoclastic image
Shintaro Katsu will forever be known for his role as Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman. However one of other great, and more bizarre roles was as Hanzo Itami, an Edo period constable who is known to interrogate women by having sex with them which always led to confessions. It was a trilogy made by Katsu’s own Katsu Productions.<br /><br />Hanzo was an iconoclast amongst his peers. In the start of the film for example all the new constables were being sworn in and making a pledge to uphold the law and he refused because he accused his peers of taking bribes from the powerful samurai and lords. He said the authorities should be protecting the common people. This was a theme that he was very familiar with because it was a constant in his Zatoichi films.<br /><br />He was also a masochist. He would routinely torture himself to see if he could take the punishment that the constables gave to criminals. He would beat his privates to strengthen it for his use on women. Totally ridiculous which makes the movie so weird and yet entertaining at the same time.<br /><br />In this film Hanzo investigates an infamous criminal only to find out that he’s linked to the Shogun’s court. Things unfold like a mystery since after all this is a police story. It’s just one full of sex, eroticism, intrigue and swordplay. The odd thing is that Hanzo portrays himself as the champion of the common people against the powerful but he doesn’t go after the latter. He catches the criminal, but not his upper class accomplices. This is sort of a cop out and unfulfilling ending after all the buildup.<br /><br />The extras also include trailers for all three Hanzo films. The first one is a laugh because at least 50% of it features the sex scenes from the movie.<br />C

Rosemary and her husband move into an apartment full of Devil worshippers
Rosemary’s Baby is a horror classic featuring Mia Farrow as Rosemary Woodhouse, John Cassavetes as Guy Woodhouse and the Devil in New York City. The Woodhouses move into a new apartment. It turns out the building is full of Devil worshippers and they want Rosemary.<br /><br />Right from the start the film begins sowing the seeds of suspicion about the apartment. First, there’s a huge dresser covering up what looks like an innocent closet. The problem was the former tenant was an 80 year old woman so how did the dresser get moved and why was it hiding the closet? Next the Woodhouses have dinner with their friend that tells them the apartment has a history with the occult including two sisters who cooked and ate children and a witch who claimed he conjured the Devil in the building. Then there’s chanting heard next door and then a woman Rosemary just met in the building ends up dead. This all builds up to a bizarre and Satanic scene that is a climax of the movie in more ways than one.<br /><br />One of the reasons why the story works is because everything just seems so normal. It’s not like the devil worshippers show up at the door with blood all over them after a sacrifice or something. They’re just regular people in the apartment showing that evil comes in all forms.<br /><br />The movie also has great pacing. It just builds and builds and builds until it seems like Farrow’s fate is set. You can feel her trapped by her circumstances and there’s no escape. It makes the audience feel as helpless as she does.<br /><br />Finally the scenes that do directly involve the occult just have the perfect mood. The standout one is when Farrow gets impregnated. It’s crazy!<br /><br />The movie is a classic for a reason and really explores the occult.

Action packed Western
James Garner and Sidney Poitier were the reasons why I wanted to see Duel At Diablo. They delivered in this movie which is almost straight action from start to finish. Things begin with an overly ambitious cavalry officer played by Bill Travers deciding to take on a much larger Apache force led by John Hoyt of all people who left the reservation. Of course that leads to all the gun shooting and adventure which Garner and Poitier who are civilians get caught in the middle of. There was no extraneous love story which I was worried about. They even threw in some justification for why the Apaches left as Garner says they have nothing there. It all makes for an above average Western.

Nanjiani and Bautista do a good job playing opposites in this odd couple cop comedy
Stuber was an odd couple cop movie featuring Kumail Nanjiani as Stu and Dave Bautista as Officer Vic. Vic can barely see so he calls an Uber driven by Stu to drive him around while he chases after a drug dealer that killed his partner. Stu is a talker and Vic is grumpy. This is obviously the source of the comedy as Vic takes Stu into all kinds of crazy situations such as going to a male strip club where Stu bares his soul to a stripper about a woman he loves or to a veterinarian for a gun battle.<br /><br />Nanjiani and Bautista do a good job playing opposites, and there are some genuine laughs during their travels.

Didn't buy the snake so didn't like the movie
An expedition into the Amazon to film a tribe in the jungle gets attacked by a giant anaconda snake. That’s the basis of the film Anaconda.<br /><br />The movie begins by setting the mood. They’re travelling up the Amazon River and a variety odd events befall them. They pick up a man stranded in the jungle named Paul Serone (Jon Voight) who appears to have his own agenda. The lead scientist Dr. Steven Cale (Eric Stolz) is stung by a poisonous bug. They run into a giant dam in the river. They blow it up and snakes come raining down on them in the debris, foreshadowing for what they will run into.<br /><br />The problem with the film is that you can tell what Serone is going to do and the anaconda itself is just not that well done. It’s no use watching a movie like this when it’s predictable and the beast just isn’t appealing. On top of that it gets unbelievable like when the snake gets shot multiple times but doesn’t die.<br />C

Great sci-fi action fun as fascist Earthlings start a war with alien bugs
Starship Troopers is some rip roaring sci-fi action fun that should not be taken too seriously. The fact that it’s so enjoyable and yet it’s set in a fascist society is a bit of an irony.<br /><br />The fascism is apparent right from the beginning as the government controls the media and presents a steady stream of propaganda. The main message is that serving in the military will ensure citizenship and full rights in the state. During a class the teacher explains how there was a military coup against social scientists who were leading society. The military then established order in society. He also explains how violence is the supreme authority, and that is the way to resolve major problems. Again, overthrowing a civilian government, creating military discipline and control, a government run media that only distributes propaganda, and the emphasis upon force all explain how the society is organized along fascist lines.<br /><br />The story itself is about humans expanding across the galaxy into a new system controlled by Arachnids, giant bugs, which sets off a war. The main characters Juan Rico played by Casper Van Dien, Carmen Ibanez played by Denise Richards, Dizzy Flores played by Dina Meyer, Carl Jenkins played by Neil Patrick Harris, and Zander Barcalow played by Patrick Muldoon, all join the military. Muldoon and Richards become pilots, Harris goes into military intelligence, while the rest volunteered for the Mobile Infantry. The war leads to ups and downs in the relationships between them, but they all remain friends in the end helping each other through the conflict.<br /><br />The action is what really carries the movie. There are some great battles with giant computer generated bugs, which are quite good and have stood up to the test of time. They come in huge waves attacking the Mobile Infantry. It’s so enjoyable it makes people forget that the humans are fascists who have invaded the bug’s territory and created the war. The movie also can't be taken seriously. For instance, the soldiers are on leave and get to enjoy themselves the music they listen to is played on a violin!<br />C

Story is predictable but jokes are good
Nobody’s Fool is an odd couple romantic comedy featuring two sisters played by Tika Sumpter and Tiffany Haddish. Sumpter is a successful businesswoman in an online relationship with a man she’s never seen while Haddish just got out of prison. You can tell what’s going to happen with the story as the film starts so it’s up to the jokes to keep it interesting. Thankfully Haddish is her usual funny and brash self. Whoopi Goldberg plays their mother and has one really funny sequence where she doesn’t want to talk to Haddish who showed up at her house and claims the connection is bad and she can’t hear her daughter as if they’re talking on the phone and then she shuts the window on her. Added bonus Chris Rock has a cameo which is hilarious.

70s Japanese superhero show all about the action
Iron King appeared on Japanese TV from 1972-73. What I like about it is that each episode is all about the action. The show didn’t wait until the end for the fighting to start. The first half of each show is about Gentaro Shizuka/Shoji Ishibashi and Goro Kirishima/Mitsuo Hamada battling the Shiranui Clan and later the Phantom Opposition Party and their giant robots and beasts. Then the Iron King appears. Gentaro actually helps him out most of the times as well. He has a special belt that turns into a whip or a sword that allows him to fight the bad guys.<br /><br />Another twist is that Gentaro the hero isn’t the Iron King but rather Goro is.<br /><br />Speaking of which, the Shiranui Clan and the Phantom Opposition have good looking costumes not the usual over the top ones in so many kids shows from this era had. Most importantly the evil robots are also cool. By the 70s a lot of shows were going for ridiculous looking monsters because they were catering to kids and thought how the kaiju looked didn’t really matter. Hence some shows had things like chicken monsters or top ramen beasts. You don’t see that in Iron King.<br /><br />My only complaint is that the Iron King is fueled by his bodily water and if a battle goes to long stars on his body start beeping warning him that his power is almost over. This is a straight rip off of Ultraman and completely unnecessary. Luckily they don’t bring up every episode like in the Ultra series.

Dystopian story about vampires and loneliness
The Last Man On Earth was a dystopian story featuring Vincent Price as Dr. Robert Morgan and was filmed in Rome. It was the first of three movies to be based upon the 1954 novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. The second was Omega Man starring Charlton Heston, and the third was I Am Legend with Will Smith. Of the three, this one might have the best plot.<br /><br />The story is propelled along by Morgan’s voice over commentary. He talks about how boring and maddening his life is, and how much loss he feels with his family gone. He also spends the day hunting down vampires and at night being besieged by them. There are flashbacks to his past as well to emphasize what he had, and to start explaining the plague. Really, the main plot is about Morgan’s melancholy. It might be Price’s best role ever. It’s also a great end of the world story for this period.<br /><br />Overall this is a very interesting movie.<br />C

Can human relationships be maintained during the zombie apocalpyse?
The Girl With All The Gifts was another attempt to add a new dimension to the post-apocalyptic zombie flick, and what a twist indeed. The story focuses upon a group of soldiers and scientists with on girl infected with the zombie disease named Melanie played by Sennia Nenua. You think it’s your typical horror movie where the team has to fight off the undead to survive and it definitely includes that element. There were new things as well. There’s the tensions within the team over whether they can trust Melanie or not. There’s Melanie’s humanity. The story really comes to focus upon relationships just as much as the zombies. It was a really fresh new take on the genre.<br /><br />Nenua as the lead character does an amazing job with her role, especially because she was so young.<br />C

They are the last hope the human race has for survival. 10-year-old MELANIE (Nanua) attends school lessons daily. Like any young girl she has a favourite teacher and a favourite subject, however, she is escorted to class in full body restraints and when they come for her, it is with guns drawn. Melanie and her fellow pupils are second-generation hybrids - part 'Hungry', part human. But unlike first generation 'Hungries', Melanie excels in the classroom, is acutely attentive, imaginative, highly intelligent and loves her favourite teacher, MISS JUSTINEAU (Arterton). Melanie's talents draw the attention of DR. CALDWELL (Close) who is searching for the key to the evolution of the virus. When the base is overrun by Hungries, Melanie escapes with Miss Justineau, SERGEANT PARKS (Considine) and Dr. Caldwell who is intent on using Melanie to synt.

Might be Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder's greatest collaboration
Stir Crazy might be Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor’s greatest collaboration. The two are hapless New Yorkers who get arrested in Arizona for a robbery they didn’t commit. While imprisoned the warden wants them to partake in his rodeo team.<br /><br />The laughs are throughout the story. At the start for instance Pryor works as a waiter when one of the cooks grabs his stash of weed mistaking it for oregano and seasons all the food with it to hilarious results with the high end diners.<br /><br />It really highlights what an amazing team the two were. They really played off each other and it wasn’t always the straight guy-funny guy routine. In this movie a lot of the time Wilder plays the caring-emotional character trying to talk to people he shouldn’t while Pryor was the realist trying to save Wilder from his misbegotten ideas about humanity like when he tries to talk to two angry cowboys at a bar. They both earned their laughs and this was one of their greatest movies together.<br />C

Delves into cultural racism in US but it's almost all talking heads
Dark Girls is a documentary about the history of cultural racism in the United States. This created a system of self-hate within the African American community with light skin meaning closer to white being privileged over dark skin hence the title of the film. This is so engrained into the community that little girls just starting elementary school or younger will pick light skin over dark skin in tests. The movie goes into the psychological toll this takes on people. This is an important topic to discuss but the film is almost all talking heads with only a few graphics and images mixed in.

It's a bit of a mixed bag
I really liked the start of this film. It begins in a baren land where a Vulcan cracks a smile and laughs. That caught my attention because I thought Spock who was half human was the only Vulcan who could do that. Then it goes to Kirk, Bones and Spock where they partake in their trademark banter making jokes and wisecracks about each other. The story ends up to be a metaphysical one about whether a God exists or not. Some Klingons are thrown in for good measure and to add some action. My problem as when they got to this special planet it fell into the trap that the first Star Trek film fell into which was to try to awe the audience by playing dramatic music and taking a very long look at things. Didn’t work in the first film and didn’t work here. That makes The Final Frontier a bit of a mixed bag.

Pretty mediocre
This is a short history of the police. It takes a traditional and boring documentary approach with one talking head after another interspersed with pictures and video. The film actually has a bit of disinformation that the band broke up when they all agreed they couldn’t get bigger. Actually guitarist Andy Summers said he didn’t want the band to end. According to him The Police split because Sting wanted to go solo. That and the talking heads makes this rather mediocre.

It's esoteric and absurd from start to finish in one of the Cohen Bros quirkier releases
John Turturro is Barton Fink a New York playwright who decides to try to make it in Hollywood. Fink champions the working man but can’t write when he moves to Los Angeles. This is another one of the quirky movies made by the Coen Brothers, but also a commentary about Hollywood.<br /><br />Fink represents struggling writers in the movie business. For example he’s told to do a wrestling movie and he doesn’t even know how to write a script let alone something about wrestlers. He also has writers block as he’s taken out of his environment of New York City and enters Los Angles where everything is foreign to him. He also meets people like W.P. Mayhew (John Mahonye) who is a famous novelist but can’t get any work in LA. Are these people warnings to Fink or foreshadowing of what’s going to happen to him?<br /><br />Overall, Barton Fink is definitely one of the weirder Cohen brothers productions.

Not as epic as the original but still a good fantasy story
The second Conan film wasn’t as amazing as the first but it was still a great fantasy film. This time Conan is recruited to steal from a wizard to fulfill a prophecy. The story isn’t an epic like the original but is all about the action and the characters. Speaking of which they actually let Schwarzenegger talk which was a change from the first movie where he barely said a word. They also included some comedy such as Conan punching horses and Tracey Walter was making wisecracks the entire time. Most notable however might be the casting of Wilt Chamberlain and Grace Jones as warriors.

What if superheroes had to adjust to being regular people?
The Incredibles was another mind blowing release by Pixar Studios. It flipped the script on superhero stories. Most are about the regular person becoming a hero such as Steve Rogers taking the super soldier serum and becoming Capital America. Here it’s the opposite. The Parr family were heroes but because the public turned against them they had to hide their background and settle down as normal people. The film not only played with the superhero genre but delved into the unexpected consequences the heroes created.<br /><br />The movie had all kinds of interesting ways to show its themes. There’s Mr. Incredible for instance who works at an insurance company and hates his life. He wants to fight crime and do good. Being a normal person is completely alien to him. Why have superpowers if he can’t use them? That’s the dilemma for not only Mr. Incredible but the entire family.<br /><br />The Incredibles was just a fun movie to watch. There were so many memorable moments it puts it up there as one of the best Pixar releases. The Parr family dynamics were great. The kids were fantastic and Jack Jack was a blast. There were so many great comments about superheroes that it really made you think if you were paying attention.

Laughs and vengeance!
This movie had me laughing out loud.<br /><br />I didn’t know what to expect when I started watching. It begins when three friends, Alain Uy, Mykel Shannon and Ron Yuan, are young, following their sifu, and getting really good at fighting. Then it switches to when they’re old and their bodies are breaking down. That’s when all the laughs start. To see these guys trying to fight at their age is hilarious. One time Yuan has his hair piece knocked off kilter. That’s where the title comes from. When they were young they were real tigers, but now they’re just paper ones.<br /><br />The story is actually a tried and true Kung Fu one of avenging their master. Their sifu dies mysteriously and they want to find out what happened to him.<br /><br />In terms of action sequences the ones at the start when they’re young are the best. They fight this white guy for example, and just take him apart.

Has its moments for an otherwise pretty routine spy spoof
Operation Endgame is a spoof of the spy genre. It’s about spies turned against spies who work for the same agency. I was drawn to it because Zach Galifianakis is in it but he turned out to have only a minor role. The movie starts with the spies joking about each other and then they try to kill each other in hand to hand combat which involves a lot of blood. This is one of those movies that if it came on TV I would watch it but I wouldn’t go out of my way to see it again or tell anyone they had to see it.

Interracial relationship and the Hip Hop generation
Zebrahead follows a group of high school kids in Detroit who are dealing with growing up, relationships, dealing with parents, music, etc. The two main characters Zack (Michael Rapaport) and Nikki (N’Bushe Wright) start going out in an interracial relationship which is the center of the story.<br /><br />The background to the story is the Hip Hop generation. That means you’ve got all the things that were popular in the 90s. There’s DJaying, an Afrocentric character, making mix tapes, plus plenty of tunes. The larger message was that this culture brought people together and allowed for Zack and Nikki to go out.<br /><br />The beginning of Zebrahead is the best part. You get the comments from different characters about a white guy going out with a black girl, but you also have people defending it. It also just features the ups and downs of their relationship and the beauty of them being together. Nothing seems forced. The ending blows up that vibe with Nikki and Zack having their lockers spray painted with slurs and white and black kids fighting because of them. Some of it is a bit overdone. Still overall, it handled the issue well.<br /><br />The movie also gets props for filming in Detroit.<br />C

Arthur as a Roman fighting the Saxons
King Arthur was a new take on the English legend. Instead of being a medieval knight they placed Arthur in an earlier period during the Roman times as a centurion. Clive Owen played Arthur, Ioan Gruffudd was Lancelot, Mads Mikkelsen was Tristan, Joel Edgerton was Gawain, Hugh Dancy was Galahad, Ray Winston was Bors, Ray Sevenson was Dagonet, and Keira Knightley was Guinevere. The movie is about the birth of British nationalism.<br /><br />The story revolves around Arthur who is a Roman officer and his men being sent on a mission to save an important Italian family before they are captured and killed by an invading Saxon army. They also have to contend with the locals called Woads who are opposed to Roman rule. In the end Arthur and his soldiers make an alliance with the Woads led by Guinevere and her father Merlin (Stephen Dillane) to stop the Saxons. Hence you have Arthur becoming the head of the Brits.<br /><br />Throughout the movie there are references to the Arthurian legend. For instance, Arthur and his fighters sit at a round table in a Roman fort. Arthur calls his men knights. There’s Lancelot’s attraction towards Guinevere. Finally, Arthur has a great sword even though it’s not called Excalibur.<br /><br />Ultimately though this is an action movie and on that front the movie does well. There is plenty of fighting between at first Arthur and the Woads and then Arthur and the Saxons and then a giant battle at the end.<br /><br />Overall, an interesting change to the Arthurian tale and an enjoyable movie to boot.<br />C

One main seeking revenge upon the corporation that cost him his father's life
The Bad Sleep Well was Akira Kurosawa’s exploration of corporate corruption in Japan. It starred Toshiro Mifune as Koichi Nishi who is out to get the company that led to his father’s downfall.<br /><br />The movie has a very odd start. Nishi is being married to the daughter of one of the top executives at Dairyu Construction Company. It and the Public Corporation are both under investigation for kickbacks and bribes and a large group of reporters sit just outside the reception room waiting for the police to come in and arrest some of the wedding guests. Two of the executives were involved in an earlier scandal, but the investigation was stopped when Nishi’s father jumped out a window and committed suicide. When it’s time to cut the wedding cake a second one is brought out that looks like the building Nishi’s dad killed himself from with a black rose in the window he used. The businessmen from the two companies are literally sweating as they give speeches because they know any one of them could be taken in at any time, and the reporters are gossiping amongst themselves about the scandal and what the two companies did.<br /><br />Mifune gets to play a great part like a spy within the company. He turns the executives against each other and has a great face as he sees his plans coming to fruition. He’s cruel at the same time because he’s married to the CEO’s daughter and doesn’t want to be intimate with her because of what he’s doing.<br /><br />The problem is Mifune is fighting against the Japanese corporate culture. As one executive tells him, an underling would never give up a superior no matter what he did. For that reason no one is willing to say anything about any of the wrong doing.<br /><br />The main complaint is that the movie has such a slow pace. It takes forever. Cutting out 30 minutes would have really helped.<br />C

Another time a woman asks what’s wrong with him and he replies, “I’m Trostky.” Wait until you see what he plans for a school dance. It’s a blast, but it actually has a serious message about teenagers and their lives. It asks whether kids are bored or apathetic. One is where people just don’t care about anything the other is like a slumber which people can be roused from.

Sandler and Nicholson who woulda thought they make the perfect duo?
Adam Sandler is given a court order to attend Anger Management. There he runs into a bunch of exaggerated characters such as John Turturro and Luis Guzman, two of my favorite character actors. That’s just the start of the strong supporting cast. Plus Jack Nicholson is his doctor. He is the ultimate provocateur and instigator while being hilarious as well. For instance he gets Sandler to sing I Feel Pretty from West Side story in the middle of a bridge while all the other drives are passing by and cussing him out. It’s definitely one of Sandler’s better movies.

Literally fails at everything
Probability Zero was an Italian war film. The Nazis shot down a British plane in Norway with a new radar system in it. The plane is to be shipped back to Germany for evaluation. The British and Americans set up a secret team to destroy it. It stars American actor Henry Silva as Major Duke an American soldier operating behind German lines who is given the mission.<br /><br />The movie was obviously inspired by the highly successful Guns of Navarone. There’s even one scene with a fishing boat that appears to be directly taken from that film.<br /><br />The problem is that the story just drags. There is literally no excitement. When they try to create tension like when the team attempts to free a captured British prisoner from a hospital it goes nowhere. Even the combat scenes aren’t that good.

To some it's a classic To me it just wasn't funny
This is a classic yet I’ve never seen it all the way through. I needed to rectify that.<br /><br />First thing was it not only starred Chevy Chase but a very young Anthony Michael Hall and was directed by Harold Ramis. Despite that the movie was just not funny to me. Yeah it had its moments, but they were few and far between. This is the reason why I’ve never watched Vacation from start to finish until now because it just never kept my attention.

Not a war movie but a melodrama about a woman's love life and family
The title grabs you and the description says it’s about a woman who goes on a spy mission into Nazi occupied France during World War II and it sounds great. Then you start watching it and it turns out to be a melodrama about love. Even when the main character gets recruited to be a spy they still throw in a romance. She goes on her first mission to France and at the end she goes shopping in Paris. I stuck with this movie for an hour and a half hoping something would happen and gave up. I couldn’t watch another 30 minutes of this corny drivel.

Not half the film that the original Yakuza Wolf was
The first Yakuza Wolf movie was a very stylish story about revenge. This one has a bit of comedy added to a new story of revenge as Sonny Chiba gets out of prison and vows to get back at the Yakuza who cheated him. He plans on doing that by robbing them. I have to say it’s not half the movie the original Yakuza Wolf was. It’s not bad as a straight Yakuza film but it didn’t have the same look for feel. I was actually a little disappointed in it.

If the human soul can survive the Hiroshima nuclear bombing it can survive anything
Nobuko Otowa travels back to her hometown of Hiroshima after the atomic bombing.<br /><br />The movie begins with Otowa giving a voiceover about her city as the camera pans across the coastline. Initially there is only the slightest signs of war damage with some factories and large building missing their roofs. Then there’s another shot of the entire city which shows everything had been rebuilt already. The film was made 7 years after the war so that’s understandable. It then flashes back to the day of the bombing and all the horrible consequences. It’s quite striking.<br /><br />The movie actually focuses upon Otowa talking to survivors and their experience. One time she meets a man that used to work for her father whose face is burned and his wife is dead. The next she’s at an orphanage for kids who lost their parents in the bombing.<br /><br />Ultimately the movie emphasizes that life goes on despite all that happened to Hiroshima. It therefore celebrates the human spirit and how it can survive war, death and destruction.

Always about the unusual and interesting
I used to watch this TV show as a kid. It started with two made for TV movies The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler. It mixed some great elements. First, the star Carl Kolchak/Darren McGavin was relentless and annoying. He never gave up on a story despite everyone always telling him to quit. He also did a voice over of events giving it a hard boiled feel to it. Most importantly it was all about horror and sci-fi. There was Jack The Ripper, voodoo Zombies, vampires and more. It wasn’t really scary but it was always interesting and about the unusual.

A man who had such a horrofic upbringing it scared him deeply until he met a doctor that helped him
Antwone Fisher was based upon a true story and was the directorial debut for Denzel Washington. Denzel also played Navy psychologist Lieutenant Commander Jerome Davenport along with Derek Luke as Fisher. The movie is about Fisher confronting his horrific upbringing and the family that abandoned him.<br /><br />Fisher was in the Navy and kept on getting in trouble. He was about to be kicked out when he was assigned to see Davenport for counseling and assessment. At first, Fisher was defiant and wouldn’t say anything in his sessions. Eventually he opened up about why he always got in trouble. He grew up an orphan. He was taken in by a foster family who beat him and psychologically tortured him. He used to be tied up and left in the basement in the dark for instance. His foster sister tried to molest him. That made him so mad when he became an adult he was ready to explode at any moment.<br /><br />Commander Davenport is able to get Antwone over his initial anger but tells him that only by confronting his family can he really get over things. That’s where the movie goes in the second half.<br /><br />The movie is extremely powerful and moving. The upbringing Fisher went through was a horror no kid should have endured. Denzel does a good job as his mentor, and the end is very touching.

Fun and raunchy buddy comedy
Wedding Ringer is a buddy comedy film featuring Kevin Heart as Jimmy and Josh Gad as Doug. Doug is getting married to Kaley Cuoco as Gretchen a woman that is completely out of his league. Not only that, but he has absolutely no friends. It’s so bad that he has no best man for the ceremony. That brings him to Jimmy who runs a company where he poses as a best man for people like Doug. That includes providing him with a bachelor party and the total groom experience. That’s where the laughs come from as Jimmy assembles an odd ball cast of characters to be the groom’s men and set Doug up with his party and wedding.<br /><br />Wedding Ringer was well written. It’s one of those comedies where the writers tried to put in a joke in each scene. The casting for the groom’s men alone is hilarious. Each one has to interview by giving a monologue and then showing a party trick they can use at the wedding. One does a scene from Titanic. Another dislocates has arm as his trick. The bachelor party is raunchy and full of fun. Right before the wedding Doug and Jimmy play a football game with the bride’s father Ed (Ken Howard) and his friends who turn out to be ex-NFL players like Joe Namath. Doug and company get crushed at first and there’s plenty of trash talk as well. The film will definitely have you laughing.<br />C

Great 70s blaxploitation flick about crime & life in Harlem
Cotton Comes to Harlem was loosely based upon a Chester Himes novel. Himes wrote a series of great crime stories based in Harlem using the characters of Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson, two black New York City cops. In the 1970 movie co-written and directed by actor Ossie Davis, the two detectives were played by Godfrey Cambridge and Raymond St. Jacques respectively.<br /><br />Things start with preacher Reverend Deke O’Malley played by Calvin Lockhart being robbed while he was holding an outdoor rally. Jones and Johnson were present and have a high speech chase to catch the thieves. The problem is when the get away truck crashes there’s no money found. That’s the mystery that the two cops have to solve, where did the $87,000 in cash go? The only hint is some cotton found, which is where the title of the book and movie comes from.<br /><br />The movie tries and succeeds in presenting a fuller picture of black life in America rarely seen in Hollywood. There’s the street preachers like O’Malley, the police like Jones and Johnson, the criminals like the robbers, but also a series of petty ones like a man dressed as a woman who steals some furs off a streets salesman, the church women, the revolutionaries that sprouted from the Black Power movement like a group conducting a Swahili class, to the Afrocentric artists of a dancer at the Apollo Theater. There are also a series of great street shots showing the people and businesses of Harlem in all their variety.<br /><br />The movie also has plenty of comedic moments. For instance, while Jones and Johnson are chasing the robbers a group of beautiful black women walk up the street in African inspired garbs while a man jumps for joy seeing them and trying to flirt with them. Another time two scammers are trying to rob a woman while one claims to be painting her picture, while the other is cutting her skirt to get her wallet.<br /><br />The music is also a highlight of the film written by Galt MacDermot.<br /><br />Overall, a great presentation of 70s black cinema.

Appreciation of the people and animals of the American West
Richard Harris really liked survivalist stories set in the American West in the early 1970s. He came out with A Man Called Horse and then the next year released this film, Man In The Wilderness where’s he’s left for dead and has to fend for himself.<br /><br />The story idealizes the West from the hard life of the American trappers to the various animals to the Native peoples. Much of the movie is just Harris observing the wilderness with no dialogue. Thus he sees some dogs eating a dead buffalo or another time he watches an American Indian woman give birth. Because so much of the movie is just Harris silently by himself it reminds one of Tom Hanks’ Cast Away. That also means you need a lot of patience to watch it.

Captures the feel and look of the times when skateboarding came into its own
Lords of Dogtown covers the emergence of some of the seminal skateboarders of the 1970s (Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta and Tony Alva) who were from southern California. They started doing tricks no one had seen before and skated swimming pools. Predictably the status they gained led to divisions. The strong point of the film is that it really captures the times with the looks, the music, the surfing, etc. It also captures the fun of the young skate culture. As one of the team says they were going to be on summer break for the next twenty years. I liked the short concert scene of Black Flag as well. Heath Ledger as the owner of the Zephyr store where the skaters became a team also stands out as a rebel who had a vision but wasn’t a true capitalist which led to problems. The movie was written by Stacy Peralta who portrays himself as down to earth, Jay Adams as the one that tried to stay true to what he was and Tony Alva as someone who got lost in the fame.

DC's finest
Minor Threat was one of my all time favorite Punk bands. This movie contains three shows the first in DC’s 9:30 Club, the second in New Jersey and the third from a music festival in DC. The band comes with its fast and blazing hardcore. There are plenty of tunes with the catchy choruses and some melodies thrown in there as well. Those were always my favorite parts of the group. In all 3 shows there are people stage diving left and right and others trying to sing along with Ian MacKaye. The main problem is the second show is so loud it distorts everything in the recording. Otherwise this is a great representation of the group.

Incredibly ambitious story of people across the world being interconnected
Babel is about a series of interconnected stories that occur across the globe. There are some Arab kids who are sheep farmers in Morocco, an American couple vacationing in that country, their kids who are in California that get taken to Mexico by their nanny, and then a deaf girl in Tokyo. The movie constantly shifts back and forth between the different characters. It turns out to be a tragedy as one bad thing after another befalls the cast.<br /><br />The first thing that hits you about Babel is how ambitious it is. A man gave a riffle to a farmer whose kids shot a woman involving people from three countries. Of course it also takes a while to understand what exactly the movie is trying to do. The writing alone makes this a very good film although it’s definitely not for everyone. Some will get lost at the start and not be able to keep their interest as a result. People should stick with it because it really makes an intricate painting of how people’s lives can be touched across the globe.<br />C

Bilbo's courage
Like the Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson had a theme for each one of the Hobbit movies. The first film was about starting the quest. The second one, The Desolation of Smaug was about Bilbo’s courage.<br /><br />That’s seen in several scenes such as when Bilbo saves his Dwavish friends from spiders and then unfriendly elves. Of course this is also when he first comes across Smaug.<br /><br />Speaking of which the dragon was awesome. What a great job they did with the effects and his personality.<br /><br />That brings up the biggest problem. The Orc Azog returned and he looked like garbage in comparison. Why they couldn’t use an actor like they did with the Orcs in the Lord of the Rings was anyone’s guess but the CGI Orc didn’t cut it.<br /><br />Finally, Jackson wanted to connect the Hobbit with the Lord of the Rings and that’s shown the most in The Desolation of Smaug. That’s through Legolas (Orlando Bloom) shows up when the Dwarves and Bilbo go through the Mirkwood. He was not in the original book but would become a main character in this movie and the next one The Battle of the Five Armies as well.<br />C

M Night Shyamalan's best movie and his best writing with a story that caught everyone by surprise
The Sixth Sense was M. Night Shyamalan’s breakthrough Hollywood film. It was known for its trademark surprise ending and became a pop cultural phenomenon with millions repeating Cole Sear’s (Haley Joel Osment) line “I see dead people.” The story focuses upon the relationship between Cole and psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) and concludes in a completely unexpected way.<br /><br />Cole and Malcolm are brought together because it’s feared that Cole is going through stress and emotional disorders. Malcolm begins therapy sessions with him and trying to help him through his problems while Cole explains to him the visions that he has which cause him great anxiety. As the story progresses there are more and more hints that the story is about the supernatural hence Cole’s quote. That still doesn’t prepare you for the ending.<br /><br />Shyamalan’s movies have really been up and down.

Maimi Yajima’s father was murdered and she’s on the run from the perpetrators when she comes to the Foxes for protection. She befriends Chihiro Yamamoto the granddaughter of the head of the Foxes who is going through a struggle of her own. The story and some of the acting is overdone, which is the main drawback. The real draw is just watching all the fight scenes and there are plenty of those. Yamamoto event gets to dawn a black fox armor and play the hero.

4 stories on how futile war on drugs is
Traffic was a Steven Soderbergh film about the war on drugs. It used an ensemble cast including Benicio del Toro, Jacob Vargas, Michael Douglas, Amy Irving, Erika Christensen, Don Cheadle, Luis Guzman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and others. They play in four main stories to try to relay the different parts of the war from the corrupt officials in Mexico to Washington’s anti-drug campaign to the DEA to drug use by kids.<br /><br />Things start with del Toro and Vargas as Mexican State Police officers Rodriguez and Sanchez respectively. They get involved with a crooked Mexican general who is working for one drug cartel against another. Then there’s Douglas, Irvin and Christensen as the Wakefield family. Douglas plays the newly appointed drug czar who then finds out his daughter Christensen is into heavy drugs. Next are Cheadle and Guzman as DEA agents Gordon and Castro. They arrest a drug trafficker who spills the beans on his operations in the United States that includes Zeta-Jones’ husband. Starting with Mexico you have drug cartels who are so powerful they control the authorities and the military. Then there’s the irony of the drug czar having to fight drug use within his own family. It brings up the fact that drugs are widely used by Americans, which is the main reason why there’s the drug trade to begin with because the demand is so high in the U.S. Finally, the DEA agents highlight the fruitlessness of fighting the war on drugs on the American side of the border. Overall it portrays that the U.S. drives the drug trade and the war in both Mexica and the United States are failing.<br />C

Tensions between 3 generations living on a struggling Texas ranch
Hud is about the relationships between three generations living on a struggling Texas cattle ranch. It features Melvyn Douglas as the father, Paul Newman as the son and Brandon deWilde as the grandson and nephew to Newman. Each character has a strong personality to set them apart. Douglas is reserved and traditional. Newman lives life loosely getting drunk and womanizing while resenting his dad. DeWilde on the other hand looks up to both his grandfather and his uncle. I liked the tension between the three but the movie moved slowly in many parts. They even threw in a rape and then blew it off as Newman just being drunk.

Tried something new with the vampire genre but failed
The premise of the movie was that Lincoln’s mother was killed by a vampire when he was a kid and he spent his life as a young man seeking revenge. He then meets Henry Sturges that teaches him everything he wants to know about vampire hunting. The added twist was that most of the southern slaveholders were actually vampires that used their slaves for a food supply.<br /><br />The problems with the film are many. First, these vampires can walk out in the sun and the way you kill them is by taking their heads or by using silver. That seemed like taking too many liberties with the vampire genre. Second, and more important is the overuse of CGI. There’s one sequence where Lincoln is chasing after a vampire and gets caught in the middle of a horse stampede. All the horses are made by special effects and Lincoln keeps jumping off and on the horses as they go running by. None of it looks good.<br /><br />The slaveholding vampires was interesting and the story goes up to the Civil War where the South starts employing vampire soldiers as well. That’s probably the best two parts. Otherwise this is a movie that tried to come up with something new but failed.<br />C

It's like the Twilight Zone where the normal is disturbed by the abnormal
Everyone passes out in a small English village and then a group of blond children are born afterward. That’s the start of Village of the Damned. I thought the beginning was nice and reminded me of a Twilight Zone episode where the normal was suddenly disturbed by the abnormal. The problem for me was between the births and the kids doing something was too long. There’s a long gap in the middle that could have been shortened to make the plot tighter. It was still good and I liked the ending.

Get to see Lynda Carter shoot an M-16 and blow people away
This movie barely has a plot. Basically it follows around Marjoe Gortner and Lynda Carter as they are on the run from the law. They start off small time and then become involved in bigger and bigger crimes. At one point they stick up a store and get into a big gun battle with Carter shooting an M-16. Carter in fact is the main reason why I watched this film. She was my very first crush from when I used to watch her as Wonder Woman when I was a kid. For an exploitation movie it’s not bad overall.

Last of the Okatsu films Again based upon exacting revenge upon the corrupt
Women got to throw down with swords just like the men in Japanese cinema. Okatsu was an example. It was a three part series with this one being the last, and stared Junko Miyazono in the lead. The series was about Okatsu seeking revenge and this was no different. A corrupt official kills Okatsu’s parents and she seeks to murder him in return. In so doing it highlights the corruption in ancient Japan as officials and gangs sought to exploit the poor.<br /><br />The opening credits set the scene as peasants are being exploited and murdered in all kinds of ways by the local superintendent and the Yakuza (gangster) boss he works with. Into the mix comes Okatsu’s father who was charged with investigating the trade in contraband tobacco. He was friends with the superintendent and came to talk with him, but was tortured and murdered instead. His wife and daughter Okatsu are also captured and raped. Okatsu escapes however and seeks to exact payback upon the superintendent and his gang.<br /><br />While not as bloody as say the Lady Snowblood films the Okatsu movies were still very good. They focused upon the corruption in Japanese society. Many government officials were corrupt. They had such power they could easily exploit the peasantry and almost kill at will. That provided the storyline for plenty of movies. They’re punishment was to right their wrongs.<br />C

Pleasantly surprised by this superhero story
I was worried about Samaritan at first because I thought it was going to be a kids’ movie since it focused upon Javon Walton who is about 13. It pleasantly surprised me though. There’s an animated start laying out the myth of the Samaritan who fought his brother and then disappeared. The story then takes place in a city near collapse with rising crime and unemployment. It’s a familiar story of a hero being dragged out of retirement. It worked and there’s a twist at the end which I enjoyed.

1 of the great Kung Fu comedies of all time!
Shaolin Soccer is about finding ones chi and saving face. Really though it is a hilarious movie by Stephen Chow. First, Chow isn’t afraid to make fun of convention such as when he’s talking to Man-Tat Ng about the virtues of Shaolin and Ng is transformed into a Shaolin monk or when Wei Zhao uses Kung Fu to make sweet buns. Second he throws in the ridiculous like singing a duet about how great Kung Fu is as a night club act. It’s just completely irreverent. It’s gotta be one of the top 3 Kung Fu comedies of all time.

3 great characters make this movie
Miami Blues is all about the three main characters. A very young Alec Baldwin is a con artist and thief who arrives in Miami and hooks up with Jennifer Jason Leigh who plays the innocent. Baldwin is chased by police detective Fred Ward. Baldwin’s character is completely slimy and manipulative and yet he’s got a flare to him, especially when he robs people. Ward lives and looks like a bum and even has false front teeth, but is actually a good cop. Together they make for a great combination. It’s all about a life of crime with the law in pursuit.

Beautiful movie about love responsibility justice youth & gender roles
In 2000 director Ang Lee blew Western minds with his sweeping action romance Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There were four storylines in the film running parallel to each other. They involved love, responsibility, justice, youth, and gender roles.<br /><br />First is the relationship between Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) and Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh). The two have always liked each other but are too shy and formal to do anything about it. In all their interactions their love for each other is always just in the background. As their mutual friend tells Shu Lien when it comes to emotions heroes can be idiots. Second, Yu Jen (Zhang Ziyi) who is a governor’s daughter wants to escape the restraints of her position and be a woman hero. She has been taught martial arts by the Jade Fox (Cheng Pei Pei) who is a criminal. Jen is both rebellious and impetuous leading her to steal Mu Bai’s famous sword. She is actually the center of the entire flick as her actions affect all the other major character. The Jade Fox also happens to be the person that killed Mu Bai’s master so he is after her as well. The last story is a love affair between Jen and a bandit she meets named Lo (Chang Chen).<br /><br />Each one of these storylines represents a dilemma for the characters. Will Mu Bai and Shu Lien be honest about their emotions for each other? Will Jen learn to be disciplined and be a hero or turn out to be a criminal like Jade Fox? Will Mu Bai capture Jade Fox? Will Jen allow herself to be with Lo or will her desires get the best of her? They also relate to the themes. Mu Bai feels his responsibilities cannot allow him to follow his heart. His duty involves dispensing justice, which drives him to find Jade Fox. Jen and Lo represent the youthful rebelliousness. Finally, Jade Fox and Jen represent women trying to break out of their roles. Part of the reason why Ju wants adventure is to not only escape her arranged marriage, but to prove her skills versus men.<br /><br />On top of all that Crouching Tiger has some amazing action sequences. Ang Lee employed the famous Hong King wire style in his fight scenes which captivated Western audiences. For example in the first one, Jen steals Mu Bai’s sword and can be seen jumping along roofs and flying up walls. There are other great scenes like that such as when Mu Bai is chasing Jen through a forest and the two jump from tree top to tree top.<br /><br />Altogether there was a reason why Crouching Tiger received so many accolades when it was released. It is a beautifully made picture with great action and endearing stories.<br />C

It's not interesting or funny
Buffalo Soldiers is a dark comedy about a U.S. army unit in West Germany in 1989. It’s premise is that the army in the 1980s is just like the army during Vietnam with soldiers doing drugs, stealing and running scams to make money. Thus you have scenes of a tank crew all getting high and then going joy riding through a German town or Joaquin Phoenix the main character ordering tons of floor cleaner to sell to some Germans. The problem is that it’s not funny. There’s also a big conflict and it’s not interesting either. There’s just nothing appealing in this film.
