Not really funny but interesting to see what Vincent Price and Peter Lorre try to get away with
Comedy of Terrors was a dark comedy by American International with an all star cast of Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone. Price and Loore are two bumbling undertakers who create their own clients if you know what I mean. I didn’t really laugh that much but it was still an interesting story to see what the two tried to get away with.

All about the action and not so much the story
The Destroyer was the follow up to the highly popular Conan the Barbarian. This one was actually inspired by a Marvel comic of the Conan character. This time Conan is manipulated by Queen Taramis to take her niece Jehnna on a quest to bring back a horn. Conan agrees because Taramis promises to bring back his lover Valeria who died in the first film. There’s not as much of an in dept story as the original as this one is almost all based upon the action.<br /><br />Unfortunately, all the things that were great about Conan the Barbarian are largely missing from the sequel. The first film spent a lot of time showing off the great settings and the incredible fantasy world that it created. There was a strong villain in Thulsa Doom. Here that’s all sacrificed to get down to the adventure, the fighting and the magic.<br /><br />On the other hand, you have to give it to the producers and director on the casting. Wilt Chamberlin was a great pick along with Grace Zones and the reappearance of Mako.<br /><br />Overall the Destroyer pales in comparison to the Barbarian, but it’s still a good fantasy flick.<br />C

Horrible first half ruins the entire movie
Evil Under The Sun is an adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel featuring Peter Ustinov as the detective Hercule Poirot. As usual he meets a cast of characters this time on a resort island and has to find out who is up to what. That includes Diana Rigg, James Mason, Maggie Smith and Roddy McDowell. Seeing a bunch of the well to do at a resort wasn’t that interesting. In fact it got downright boring at times because nothing was happening. You had these great actors but they weren’t being utilized other than to make snide comments about each other. It takes almost an hour for something interesting to happen which really tries the audience’s patience. I almost turned the movie off it was getting so boring. Finally Poirot gets to work and the story actually shows movement. Still that poor start effects the entire viewing experience. It should have never made people wait that long to get down to business.

Better pacing but lacks the passion of the original
I used to show the original 12 Angry Men in my 12th Grade Government class. This remake is interesting because it’s almost a word for word recreation of the first film. What it adds is a much faster pace. That’s welcomed because the old version did drag in parts. What it’s missing is the passion of the arguments between Jack Lemmon who questions the case against the suspect and George C. Scott who thinks the boy was guilty. In the original Henry Fonda and Lee Cobb in those two roles really went at it. So overall liked the speed of the story but didn’t have the passion of the first version.

Interesting French monster movie but it's a tad too long
This is a French horror film about a wolf that is terrorizing a town in the 1700s. Unexpectedly Mark Dacascos shows up as the sidekick of the main character played by Samuel Le Bihan. Dacascos is a Native American which allows him to speak some broken French and pass. Not only that but they put him in a fight scene where he takes on a bunch of people using martial arts. Yeah, so much for historical accuracy!<br /><br />As for the wolf story it’s not bad. There’s a lot of build up with murders and hunts without ever revealing the beast. There’s also women that might be witches mixed in as well. That keeps the movie going despite its length at 2 and a half hours. That however is its major drawback. At one point I thought the film was coming to an end and checked the time and it was only halfway through! It could’ve been much shorter.

It's the guests like The Staple Singers and Van Morrison that make this show a must see
I’d know about this concert documentary for years but never realized it was made by Martin Scorsese. I have to admit I’m not a big fan of The Band. They just sound like a dozen other groups from the time. They had a Country-Blues-Rock mix. The reason I wanted to see The Last Waltz was all the guest appearances they had during the show. THE best by far is their collaboration with the Staple Singers doing The Weight. The groups trade off lead vocals but there’s really no comparison. The Staples steal the show. After that it’s got to be Muddy Waters who looked awkward singing without a guitar and Van Morrison who I didn’t realize was so short but had a lot of soul. Bob Dylan wasn’t bad either.

John Carpenter classic of post apocalyptic New York ft Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken
Escape from New York is a John Carpenter classic. The movie featured one of his favorite actors Kurt Russell as the iconic Snake Plissken. The movie is a post-apocalyptic film based around New York City that had been turned into a prison colony. The government called in Russell when the president, played by Donald Pleasence crashes inside the city. Russell of course has to rescue him.<br /><br />Russell plays the tough guy role to a T. He’s got a constant scowl on his face and only talks in short sharp sentences.<br /><br />The action is over the top as it should be in a film like this.<br /><br />It’s all great fun in this must see movie. The combination of Carpenter and Russell were a dynamic duo and this is one of their finest collaborations.<br />C

Can Keanu Reeves think about other people that might be facing bigger problems then he is?
Keanu Reeves plays a gambling addict deep in the hole to his bookies who gets talked into coaching a little league team in Chicago’s projects for some money. The movie is about whether he can stop being selfish and think about some other people that might be facing bigger problems then he is. Reeves does a convincing job as an addict and jerk. He blows people off. He’s always on the run from the people he owes money to. He can’t stop thinking about the next bet. The kids are all great. That includes a very young Michael B. Jordan. I thought Hardball did a good job creating an image about the issues the kids faced growing up in a poor urban neighborhood. For instance a kid is asked by his teacher to reply to a book they read. He said it wasn’t believable because in his area when a dad leaves they never come back.

His daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) goes to Europe and gets kidnapped by a criminal gang.

His wife divorced him because of his career. He’s trying to create a relationship with his daughter, but it’s difficult. At the same time he’s completely paranoid and sees the world as one big threat, which makes him opposed to his daughter’s trip to France.

A touch of genius
Secretary is about two dysfunctional people, Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader, who are attracted to each other but are in capable of finalizing the deal. One minute Spader is spanking Gyllenhaal in his office and the next he’s ignoring her. The way they try to communicate sexually is so outlandishly bizarre you have to see it. Spader for example likes to mark papers with a red sharpie. The burning question is whether they are able to overcome their hang ups. That makes Secretary a one of a kind movie and a little bit if genius.

3 views of black male life in the inner city
Boyz in the Hood was John Singleton’s first release in 1991. It presented three visions of black male life in the inner city. This was a pressing issue at the time because as the opening sequence said 1 of 21 black men were being murdered at the time, often at the hands of another black male. That needed to stop, which was why there was a close up of a stop sign.<br /><br />The three main characters represented the different paths for black men.<br /><br />One was Cuba Gooding Jr’s Tre Styles. He had both parents even though they were separated. He did good in school and wanted to go to college. His father Laurence Fishburne, as Furious Styles taught him about African history and black pride and continued to preach to him into his teen years. Fishburne also tried to instill discipline in Gooding, something that many of the other kids never got at home. That’s something Fishburne told him when he was growing up. The point being that young men needed male role models. He was tempted to join in on the neighborhood’s violence, but his upbringing stopped him.<br /><br />Morris Chestnut as Ricky Baker was a high school football star who believed that sports was his ticket out of the ghetto. He gets recruited by USC, but he doesn’t have a vision for his life outside of football. He also struggled with his SATs to be eligible for a university. He had a baby and gets killed in a drive by, Singleton’s way of saying that this was not a good way to lift up black men.<br /><br />Finally Ice Cube as Doughboy Baker was Chestnut’s half brother who cared about his friends, hanging out, and all the trouble that entailed. His mother not only neglected him, but berated him from an early age taking out her frustration with his daddy on him. She also liked Chestnut much better because of his football skills. He represented all the boys that got caught up in the hood, and had no future besides that. That included going in and out of jail which started when he was a little kid. Their life was about survival, while they also perpetuated all the problems of the community.

In a world where a trip to the store can end in death, the friends have diverse reactions to their bleak surroundings. Tre's resolve is strengthened by a strong father (Larry Fishburne) who keeps him on the right track. But the lessons Tre learns are put to the ultimate test when tragedy strikes close to home, and retaliation seems the only recourse..

3 Nazi generals suspected of grisley murders during WWII
The Night of the Generals is a murder mystery set during the end of World War II and its immediate aftermath.<br /><br />The movie begins with a Polish woman being gruesomely murdered in 1942. The only clue was a man saw general’s stripes on the murderer’s pants. Major Grau (Omar Sharif) is the investigator, and found three generals as possible suspects. Grau pursues the case despite the dangers of taking on the high command. The movie sweeps back and forth between the war and the postwar period when French Inspector Morand (Philippe Noiret) is still investigating the cases. That’s because there was a similar murder in Paris in 1944 with the same suspects once again and Grau was there as well to re-start his inquiries.<br /><br />Mixed in with the mystery is some events from the war. One of the three generals lays waste to part of Warsaw to root out guerrillas. Although that’s supposed to take place in 1942 it harkens back to putting down the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. In Paris, it brings up army officers plotting the murder of Hitler.<br /><br />The movie is very well done. Peter O’Toole plays General Wilhelm Tanz. He has a crazed look upon him the entire time. Sharif and Noriet are very smooth as well. Very good mix of a mystery investigation and World War II drama.<br />C

Documentary made at the right place & time to capture a budding movement
Style War was an iconic film highlighting the budding youth culture coming out of New York City in the 1970s-80s. It focuses upon graffiti artists who started a new art form and were the bane of the city. The documentary also breaks done some of the stereotypes of the movement.<br /><br />First, there is beautiful footage of the New York City subway trains with small to large pieces covering the outsides. One has to be impressed by the art and the time it took to make them. While it starts off by saying that graffiti was part of the new Hip Hop culture coming out with rap music. There are plenty of great early Hip Hop tunes, break dancing, and even a dance battle at a club. However, some of the older writers were interviewed and said they actually started in the early 1970s before Rap even started with simply tagging their names on the trains. eventually that developed with more and more style and into larger and larger pieces. Another common myth that was dispelled was that it was all black and Latinos who were responsible. There are plenty of white youth who were out in the train yards as well.<br /><br />Second, there are all kinds of city officials from Mayor Koch on down talking about how bad graffiti was for the city. One official talks about how it was right up there with three card monty and pick pocketing. The city was in a constant battle with the artists attempting all kinds of new techniques from cleaning solvents to building fences and using dogs to deter the artists. It’s funny watching them complain. Eventually they would win however, but that’s not included in the movie.<br /><br />Last, the film talks about the different directions the artists took. Some became insurgents purposely painting over other people’s work. Some tried to hit the New York art scene and make money off of their pieces by selling them at galleries. That showed that movement was evolving and going in new directions.<br /><br />Overall, this is a great piece of documentary film making that captured a budding movement.<br />C

Why not let Dave Chappelle put together a concert in Brooklyn
Dave Chappelle was the biggest comedian in America at the time so why not let him put on a concert in Brooklyn. That was the basis of this film which saw Chappelle bring together some of his favorite Hip Hop acts, some people from his native Ohio along with a Historically Black College marching band and you had some magic. The film flips back and forth between behind the shots of Dave goofing around, making jokes, talking to people and the concert itself which featured Kanye, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, The Roots, Common Dead Prez, Jill Scott, John Legend and most surprisingly he got the Fugees back together. The movie really shows Chappelle’s personality and comedic genius. At one point he’s trying on some suits in Ohio and he’s able to garner a laugh. The music of course is great as well. One of the best moments is one of those spontaneous moments when Wyclef Jean is talking to the school band about what they want in life and then ties that into a song and they start singing along with him. It’s a beautiful moment.

Really good adaptation of a Stephen King story
Thinner was another movie based upon a Stephen King story. It’s about a lawyer named Billy (Robert John Burke) who accidentally killed a gypsy woman and was cursed by her father. He was really overweight and suddenly starts a dramatic weight loss afterward hence the title.<br /><br />The movie seems to be overlooked out of the early dramatizations but it’s pretty good. First, it doesn’t rely upon many effects which has been a fault of some movies based upon King’s work. Second, Billy’s curse isn’t just about him killing someone but is a result of what he did with his life as a lawyer. Third, the ending is really good.<br />C

Season 3 has Kenny Powers trying to start a new life by returning to all of his worst habits. He’s back in America. This time he’s in South Carolina playing for a minor league baseball team hoping to make it back into the majors. That means he’s acting more of a jerk than ever because he believes he’ll be a superstar again so he needs to return to that lifestyle immediately. That causes problems for the other big change in his life, the fact that he and his high school sweet heart April had a baby. Of course, he’s completely unprepared for that. Those two worlds collide when April leaves the baby with Kenny to take care of. The tension between Kenny trying to act like a celebrity and being a father is the theme of season 3.<br /><br />Like the previous seasons Danny McBride is at his best playing ridiculous, a-hole characters like Powers. They throw him into one over the top situation after another. If you like the first two seasons you’ll love the third.

An excuse for Adam Sandler and his friends to goof off
The Grown Ups movies were just an excuse for Adam Sandler to get all his friends together and goof off. There are a plenty of funny moments like Sandler waking up with a deer in his face inside his house to Chris Rock and Tim Meadows being dueling Princes at an 80s costume party. I have to say it’s not as good as the first Grown Ups but it’s still funny.

A comedy classic with a social message about racism that should be seen by all
Undercover Brother is a lost comedy classic. It’s hardly ever on TV so not many people have seen it since it came out in the theaters in 2002.<br /><br />The plot is a comedy inspired by 1970s Blaxploitation films. Eddie Griffin is the Undercover Brother who comes into contact with the Brotherhood, a secret black organization committed to fighting The Man, i.e. the racist power structure in America. The Brotherhood consists of Sistah Girl (Aunjanue Ellis), Conspiracy Brother (Dave Chappelle), Smart Brother (Gary Anthony Williams), Lance (Neil Patrick Harris), and The Chief (Chi McBride). They find out that The Man has launched a plot to brainwash African Americans via a fried chicken franchise run by General Warren Boutwell (Billy Dee Williams).<br /><br />Writer John Ridley and Michael McCullers did a fantastic job because Undercover Brother is one of those films with a joke in every scene. There is no let up on the laughs. Conspiracy Brother for example, is set off at almost every occasion such as when Undercover Brother tells him he should relax and go see a movie. Conspiracy Brother tells him he doesn’t like movies because the black character always gets killed. Undercover Brother then has to go undercover at a corporation that leads to more hilarity. He meets Penelope Snow (Denise Richards) and they end up singing “Ebony and Ivory” together at a Karaoke bar. Later they end up seeing each other and run into Sistah Girl at a department store where Penelope calls her “Tan-jah” when her name is Tanya. Then when Undercover Brother gets defensive about seeing a white woman, a voice comes over the store’s intercom saying “angry black man in khakis.” Mr Feather (Chris Kattan) works for the man and is running his fried chicken scheme but secretly loves black culture. During one scene he’s looking for a song and comes across Mary J. Blige and does an entire dance routine to her music. He has a ridiculous fight scene with Undercover Brother at the end as well. Neal Patrick Harris is a scene stealer as well. Towards the climax, he gets challenged by three big security guards who he dispatches by squishing their heads and tearing out their spins, and finishes by saying they should have never called him “sissy.” In fact, there are so many funny moments in this movie it’s impossible to go into all of them.<br /><br />The film also has a social message amongst all the laughs which is that all races of people should work together to fight the racist power structure, which is used to divide and conquer people in America.<br /><br />I can’t recommend this movie enough. It is a fantastic comedy that more people should see.<br />C

A heist gone wrong
Vault is about a heist gone wrong. Theo Rossi is the lead. I’ve been a fan of his since he was on Sons of Anarchy. He gets caught up in a robbery full of greed, revenge and double crossing. One moment he’s a happy go lucky guy, the next he’s strung out on drugs. He carries the whole story and his performance is strong enough to make it worth your time.

It drew me into an amazing real story
The Walk is based upon the true story of French performance artist Philippe Petit/Joseph Gordon-Levitt waking a tight rope between the World Trade Center towers in 1974.<br /><br />The first thing I thought was I don’t believe in Gordon-Levitt and his French accent. I decided not to knit pick and see where the film took me. That was to Gordon’Levitt’s character who was young, brash, impulsive and didn’t like to listen. That I could buy into. That made for a convincing performance artist and would be daredevil. Obviously the build up to the walk is the best part. It’s pretty amazing that they were able to pull it off in real life. I have a slight fear of heights and just watching him walk across the wire between the two towers in a movie made me feel a bit woozy at times. Overall it’s pretty incredible.

One of the most brutal and amazing depictions of survival in the American West
Revenant has to be one of the most realistic depictions of survival in the American West put to film. Leonardo DiCaprio and his son Forrest Goodluck have to survive the government, Native Americans, nature, and their own group they are hunting with. It’s all provided in a very brutal and graphic manner. It just doesn’t stop. It’s one challenge after another. Hats off to director Alejandro Inarritu for making such an amazing movie.

Another disaster film but kept my interest
Moonfall is another disaster movie this time involving the moon being knocked out of its orbit and a sole spacecraft being sent to try to fix it. That opens up the door to an entire Sci-Fi fantasy. Part of it is totally original like a tale about the moon. Other parts are taken from other movies like The Matrix. I didn’t have high expectations for the movie at first but I ended up liking it. There was a good mix of action and plot thrown in to keep it interesting.

It's a mixed bag When Cyrstal & Haddish are together its fun When they're not it's dry
Billy Crystal has been doing some of these independents lately. This one he co-wrote and directed. He plays a TV comedy writer who is starting to have dementia but then is revitalized when he meets Tiffany Haddish.<br /><br />There’s some behind the scenes look at comedy writing and making skits for TV but really the best parts are Crystal and Haddish together. Haddish is full of energy while Crystal is calm but constantly makes one liners. That’s the good and the bad side of the film. When Crystal and Haddish are on screen it’s fun. When they’re not it’s kind of dry. Especially the show that Crystal works on. It’s not funny one bit. It’s actually actively bad. That makes the movie a real mixed bag.

Bad producing and directing undermines critique of mercs and racism in Africa
The Wild Geese was one of those big star war films that were so popular from the 50s-70s. It features Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris and Hardy Kruger as a group of mercenaries who are hired by a British businessman Sir Edward Matheson (Stewart Granger) to rescue an imprisoned and deposed president Julius Limbani (Winston Ntshona) in the fictional country of Zembala to protect Matheson’s copper interests. It suffered from poor action and poor acting.<br /><br />While the story would seem like it glorifies the mercenary there were questions about the trade as well. In one scene Kruger gives a monologue about how immoral their endeavor is. Then of course they are dealing with the greed of Matheson who simply wants to use them. Finally, they run into a priest in a Zembala village who calls them murdering bastards and if left to their own devices would start a civil war that would leave the people’s lives devastated.<br /><br />The film however is fatally flawed. First, the action is badly planned and choreographed. For instance, there’s a scene where the mercs get attacked on a bridge by an airplane. They stay in trucks while the plane strafes them instead of running for cover and then when some of the vehicles get blown up they make it like one part of the team can’t travel to the other side of the bridge when all they would have to do is walk across a dried river bed. Second, the film also tries to throw in some politics as Lambani talks with Kruger who plays a South African about race relations in Africa. After one speech by Lambani Kruger is ready to change his tune. Completely unbelievable.<br /><br />Wild Geese tried to capture the excitement of previous war films while criticizing mercenaries and throwing in some messaging about the racism then going on in Africa. The producing and directing was so bad however all that is lost.<br />C

Jackie Chan still couldn't figure out balance between Kung Fu & comedy
1978’s Half A Loaf of Kung Fu still saw Jackie Chan struggling to figure out the balance between martial arts and comedy. The opening is very good as Chan poses as various characters and proves incapable of defending himself in a fight. The problem was the movie went for all comedy mostly of the slapstick variety. There’s not a serious scene during the entire first half. After that it finally improves but the damage had already been done. It’s just too goofy to take seriously.

1 of THE iconic 70s films Part thriller police procedural & action flick
The French Connection is one of THE iconic films of the 1970s.<br /><br />The movie’s title comes from the actual drug trade that saw heroin shipped from Turkey to the southern French port of Marseille and then onto the United States. Hence the film starts in that southern French port with businessman Alin Charnier (Fernndo Rey) setting up a plan to ship a huge cache of heroin hidden inside a car to New York City with actor Henri Devereaux (Frederic de Pasquale) as the cover.<br /><br />In New York City two cops, Popeye Doyle (Gene Hackman) and Buddy Russo (Roy Scheider), just happen to come across Chanier completely by chance. That starts when they run into some mafiosos at the Copacabana they frequent. One of them is Sal Boca (Tony Lo Bianco). By following him they stumble upon Chanier.<br /><br />The movie is part thriller. What can the two cops find out about Boca and Chanier? It’s part police procedural. There is a lot of time spent sitting in cars staking out suspects, listening to wire taps, and tailing people through the streets and subways of New York. It’s part action including one of the greatest chase scenes when Popeye almost gets killed by Chanier’s hitman and then goes after him with a car while the hitman is in a train. That’s all what makes this a great movie. The procedural part for example, gives this movie a sense of realism. Cops don’t just come into big cases and work everything out right from the bat. There is a lot of hard work finding evidence, etc. The film also played with that aspect such as when Doyle is following Chanier and he keeps on getting off and on a waiting subway just to mess with Popeye.<br /><br />A note should also be made about the conclusion without giving it away. The message of the ending seems to be that the police don’t really care about big busts and getting the people responsible for bringing in the drugs to the U.S. This is something mentioned in real analyses of the war on drugs, and it's a very important element to be considered when viewing this movie.<br /><br />This movie has really stood up to the test of time and is always a joy to watch.<br />C

Secret histories of two girls leads to a real tragedy
Every Secret Thing is a crime drama about two intertwined stories. The first is about a missing girl which two detectives, Elizabeth Banks and Nate Parker, think might have been done by Dakota Fanning and Danielle Macdonald. That’s connected to a baby that went missing years ago.<br /><br />Every Secret Thing creates instant tension and a real sense of unease. It goes through all kinds of secrets and histories of the two girls and becomes a real tragedy but not in the way you might think. This was a real surprise thriller for me in the way the story unraveled. It’s definitely worth checking out.

Look at black representation in cinema through horror movies
Horror Noire is a documentary about African Americans and the Horror genre from behind, on and in front of the screen. It’s actually a wider look at how blacks have been portrayed on film overall in America.<br /><br />The film begins with how black people were originally portrayed in film as dangerous and idiots by white film makers. It begins with Birth of a Nation which showed the KKK as the savior of the South from a black menace. Then how Hollywood stereotyped black roles to things like servants. When science fiction started in the 1950s African Americans were excluded. I don’t buy everything they push in that part where some of those interviewed claim that many monsters like the Creature From The Black Lagoon were actually based upon black people. There are some other faults with the analysis later on as well.<br /><br />The game changer was Night of The Living Dead that starred Duane Jones. He was the lead in the story and defended white people from a zombie apocalypse. Later on Blacula came out which introduced black Horror. That led to a whole slew of movies not all of which were good however and some reinforced stereotypes. Again, there’s some over analysis and then some praise of some bad movies which they give high marks for the messaging. They even critique two films for tropes and then praise them later.<br /><br />Overall the documentary definitely has some faults but it’s still important to watch because it does explore black representation in cinema beyond just Horror films.

Premise of movie doesn't work
Iron Lady has a very interesting start. Margaret Thatcher is long been out of office and she’s suffering from dementia. They use her visions to tell her story through a series of flashbacks. It’s very odd because it just show little glimpses into her life but rarely goes into any depth about anything. You do get a gist of things like Thatcher grew up middle class, the daughter of a shop keeper which shaped her political views and she struggled at first. The best part might be the Falklands War. I don’t think showing her in her old age was meant to demean her but rather humanize her since she had such a hard image, hence “The Iron Lady.” I just don’t think that angle worked.<br /><br />Meryl Street plays the older Thatcher and she has a great transformation with the make-up. I just wish she had more to work with in this film.

Cold War spry thriller full of thrilling action and double crosses
Atomic Blonde was an action-spy Cold War thriller starring Charlize Theron as Lorraine Broughton, an English agent for MI6 sent into East Germany to help a defector code named Spyglass (Eddie Marsan) escape with the help of fellow agent David Percival (James McAvoy). The film is about espionage and double crosses.<br /><br />The first thing of note about the film is that all the action scenes were realistic. That meant one punch didn’t knock someone out. One bullet didn’t kill someone. Instead, when Broughton got into fights they lasted for quite some time as she and her opponent beat the hell out of each other. Plus you could see the aftermath with bruises, black eyes, etc. In the second scene for instance, Broughton is sitting in a tub full of ice with a black eye and multiple cuts which she bandages up after completing a mission. That made for some thrilling action scenes, and was a refreshing script decision.<br /><br />Second, since the movie takes place in the 1980s the soundtrack is chock full of 80s pop hits by the likes of David Bowie, Nena, George Michael, A Flock of Seagulls, and others.<br /><br />Third, you can tell the movie is about betrayal right from the start. Broughton is assigned to bring Spyglass out and as soon as she lands in West Germany she’s made by the Communists and almost gets killed. There would be many more double crossing as the movie progressed as one lie was built upon another which really threw off the viewer until the very end.<br /><br />Overall, this is a top notch action movie and it’s also nice to see a woman in the lead. The realism in the fight scenes made it a thrill, and the music was an added bonus.<br />C

Corporate greed & Political intrigue in this thriller
The Pelican Brief was based upon a John Grisham book. The movie is a mystery thriller about the sudden deaths of two Supreme Court justices which turn out to be by contract killings. The movie stars Julia Roberts as law student Darby Shaw who writes a paper about why the two judges might have been killed. It gets circulated within the government and people go after her as a result. She contacts Denzel Washington as reporter Gray Grantham that tries to expose what happened. The theme is corporate greed, political intrigue and hubris.<br /><br />Hubris is portrayed throughout the film. The idea that two Supreme Court justices and various other people can be killed with impunity is a major part of the story.<br /><br />The thrill comes from the hunt for Darby Shaw. She gets chased several times. A man she was holding hands with gets shot in the head. She also takes a lot of chances which decreases her likelihood to stay alive. Roberts does a great job looking shaken up when a tragedy befalls her.<br /><br />The corporate and political aspect come from a powerful businessman and the money he spent on politicians. That bought the man political cover.<br /><br />It’s a really good movie. It’s nice to see a young Roberts and Washington working together. The movie is able to fluctuate between the high tension and the investigation.<br />C

Writing and acting is so bad the action can't even save this film
This was the second in Jason Statham’s Mechanic series. I have to say a lot of the acting was pretty horrible and the writing poor. There’s Jessica Alba’s story about how she got black mailed. Michelle Yeoh talking about what a hurt soul Statham had. They’re cringe worthy. That means the only reason to watch this movie is for the action sequences. They gave Statham a series of impossible missions. One was actually pretty cool when he kills a guy in a swimming pool. That’s still not worthwhile to spend your time on this film.

One of the greatest heist flicks of all time
Heat directed, produced and co-written by Michael Mann is one of the all-time great heist flicks. It’s about how everything goes wrong for a robbery crew led by Robert De Niro. Their problems are foreshadowed in their opening job when a member gets gun happy and leads to the death of a number of people. De Niro is being hunted by Al Pacino who plays a police detective. He brings the heat hence the title.<br /><br />There are some great cat and mouse elements to the story as De Niro and Pacino attempt to outsmart each other. That’s topped off by the two going for coffee together where they get to test each other’s egos. The movie posits the main characters as very similar. Pacino also gets to be manic and crazy in some scenes and yell which is one of his trademarks.<br /><br />Of course, what Heat is known for is one of THE greatest robbery/shoot out scenes put to film. It is an amazing expenditure of ammunition.<br /><br />If you want to watch how a crime drama is supposed to be made watch Heat. It is fantastic.

Rough balance between supernatural thriller & action flick
This movie starts as a supernatural thriller but then Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up and it becomes a big action flick. Despite that bad start the film actually recovers.

Could've been any Kung Fu comedy made in the last 30 yrs
Iron Monkey was such a great movie it was inevitable that a sequel would be made. Unfortunately this is not anywhere as good. First, the original story was very simple as Iron Monkey was a folk hero trying to help the people. Here the plot is all over the place with a scam artist, an assassination and more. Donnie Yen doesn’t even really show up at the start. Really this could have been any Kung Fu comedy from Hong Kong made in the last thirty years. I was really disappointed.

Accents so bad didn't care about the movie
Ryan Phillippe is on vacation in Morocco when he’s taken captive by Laurence Fishburne. I have to say they put on the worse accents I’ve ever heard. Phillippe is supposed to be Dutch but he sounds Eastern Europe or just muddled. Fishburne on the other hand sounds like a southern African or something. He’s followed by Gina Torres who does a little better job. The one actual Arab actor Said Taghmaoui gets one line and it’s in Arabic! It was so bad I literally didn’t care anything about the story which revolves around some money Phillippe had, and him obviously lying about it.

1 of the better Jackass movies with plenty of laughing at others suffering
The Jackass movies were as inconsistent as the TV show. That’s because it’s based upon dumb stunts and skits which many times don’t work, but sometimes they do. This one used unused footage from Jackass 3 and was one of the better films they put out.<br /><br />The Jackass style of comedy is shown in the opening as Steve-O gets bit by a snapping turtle. It makes you flinch just thinking about it but captures what a lot of the show and movie were about laughing at others pain. If you don’t mind that this is a funny film.

Great coming of age story about Victor dealing with his difficult family & new love interest
This is a great coming of age story about Victor Vargas growing up in New York City. He has to deal with his sister Vicki who he constantly bickers with, his younger brother Nino that looks up to him, and his grandmother who thinks Victor is a bad influence upon his siblings. There’s also a girl he likes named Judy who is very stand offish because of all the men constantly hitting on him. Victor has to do a lot to break down her defenses and win her over.<br /><br />There are a lot of funny moments thrown in with the drama. For instance the grandma walks in on Nino masterbating, blames Victor and takes him to family court to try to have him kicked out of the house.<br /><br />The movie doesn’t have your usual run ins with the law or drugs or violence that most urban dramas deal with. It’s just about Victor and his friends and family and it’s all the better for it.<br />C

It's like one big adventure for man that stumbles into being a drug dealer
Mr. Nice is loosely based upon a true story of Howard Marks (Rhys Ifans). He came from Wales, got his education at Oxford, became a school teacher and then one of the biggest drug dealers in England.<br /><br />The movie plays out like one big adventure. Marks just stumbles into the business and starts making money hand over first. He also meets some oddball characters like Jim McCann (David Thewlis) who is a bit of a nut and a member of the IRA who help him smuggling in drugs to England. One of his friends from Oxford Hamilton (Christian McKay) goes to work for MI6 and wants Marks to work for him. More amazing was that he was able to emerge from this life and keep his family. It’s real a tale to see.

As if WWI wasn't horrible enough movie follows the war underground
As if World War I wasn’t bad enough with machine guns and trench warfare, eventually the two sides started using engineers to dig underground. That’s what this movie is about. It features Brendan Cowell as Oliver Woodward an Australian miner who was deployed to France and Belgium in 1916 which is based upon a true story. The film is a bit uneven.<br /><br />The movie has some dramatic war scenes. Germans digging into a tunnel system and blowing it up. A men hopelessly crying because of shell shock. There is also the incompetence of the leadership. There’s one commander specifically that knew nothing about mining and yet continued to berate the work being done and giving senseless orders.<br /><br />The flashbacks to home where Woodward had a girl waiting for him was supposed to show what he was fighting for. There might have been too many of them however.<br /><br />Overall the movie had its ups and downs but doesn’t highlight one little known part of what was an already horrible war.<br />C

Thoroughly enjoyable despite the traditional documentary format because of the music & personalities
The Damned were the first Punk band to release a record. They were completely irreverent and had a bad boy image both on and off stage. This documentary talks about their history and the endless line-up changes they went through and their causes. Those divisions between ex-members ran deep. It’s a traditional format with talking heads and voice overs. The great parts are all the music which is shown both from the original recordings plus live footage. I found it thoroughly enjoyable.

The Satan Bug is a Cold War whodunnit thriller. A deadly weapon of mass destruction is stolen from a government lab and George Maharis is brought in to find out who did it. I think the story was very well done. The beginning is a heist when the thieves take the agent. Then the rest is like a police procedural as Maharis goes through the evidence and does his investigation. There’s also betrayal and more.

Heavy hitting story of 2 people trying to find happiness out of endless tragedies
Monster’s Ball is about the impact of the execution of Sean Puffy Combs. That effects everyone involved from his wife Halle Barry and kid Coronji Calhoun two the two prison guards Billy Bob Thorton and his son Heath Ledger. Both families are dysfunctional. The story hits VERY hard as it is one tragedy after another initially. They use this repeating sequence to drive that home of Thorton wiping blood off of things. In the end the story comes down to the two main character Barry and Thorton being two very lonely and depressed people that even hate themselves in a way trying to find some happiness.

Nothing like a good Korean crime drama
There’s nothing like a good Korean crime flick and that’s definitely The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil. Ma Dong-seok plays the gangster. He’s been one of my favorites since I saw him in Train to Busan. He’s such a versatile actor playing in all kinds of genres. Kim Mu-yeol is a cop with an attitude. I’m talking BIG attitude. The story is not your usual cops and gangster film however but rather about a serial killer. There are some twists which keep things going. Some action thrown in. Some police procedural. The best part however is the ending especially Ma’s smile.

Story took so long to develop didn't care when things finally happened
Tale of Tales is a fantasy story. Selma Hayek plays a queen who was so obsessed with having a child she sacrificed her own husband the king.<br /><br />At first the movie seems like it will be about Hayek’s struggles with her young son. He has a twin from another woman that deeply angers Hayek. Then the story goes off about another king played by Toby Jones that has a giant insect as a pet and a daughter to be married off as well and then a third king played by Vincent Cassel who is a womanizer who falls in love with the voice of an old hag. All three stories end up meandering along and the first especially drags. It doesn’t appear that there is any point to any of them. It’s not until 2/3 of the way through that things start happening. By then you have to ask yourself whether it even matters it took so long.<br />C

Best of the 3 Beverly Hills Cop films
Beverly Hills Cops was important because it was Eddie Murphy’s first solo lead performance. While he got to goof off a bit he largely played his role straight. Now that he was a bona fide star they just let him go. That meant he got to do little skits in almost every situation in the film. It wasn’t just him, Judge Reinhold also got more funny lines and the film was better for it. Even John Ashton got in the act. The result was the best of the three Beverly Hills Cop films.

The diversity of black men and a call for bortherhood
Get On The Bus was a Spike Lee joint about a group of black men taking a bus from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. for the 1995 Million Man March.<br /><br />Because the movie mostly takes place within the confines of a bus it had to have an interesting set of characters to make it work. That’s something Lee usually excels at. In this case there are Harry Lennix and Isaiah Washington as a gay couple, Thomas Jefferson Byrd who has his son played by De’Aundre Bonds handcuffed to him, Ossie Davis as the wise old man, and more. The point of the ensemble cast was to raise issues about the black community such as homosexuality, the generation gap, light skinned vs dark skin blacks, and more. It’s also meant to show that African American man are not a homogenous group. IN the end it has a powerful message about the need for brotherhood.<br /><br />Get On The Bus is one of Lee’s lesser known films but it’s a powerful story.<br />C

Has too many songs but still does good on debate over US independence
This musical used to be on TV when I was a kid all the time but I haven’t seen it since then. As you might guess it’s about the Continental Congress and the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. There are debates about independence, funny bits about Benjamin Franklin being a womanizer and no one liking John Adams. On the other hand, there are too many songs. There’s a song for when Adams leaves the Congress for a trip! That’s the reason why the movie is nearly three hours long. Still I enjoy the bit of history it conveys about the arguments for American independence despite it being drawn out.

1/4 of the film is stock footage from two earlier Gamera films
Daiei Film had finally figured out how to make a successful monster movie after three tries with Gamera. This was the fourth release in the franchise and it took a step backwards. It originally came out in Japan as Gamera vs Viras, but for the American audience it was called Destroy All Planets.<br /><br />Things start with an alien race wanting to colonize Earth only to have the big turtle run into them and destroy their ship. By this time Gamera had gone from a menace to humanity to its protector.<br /><br />Gamera had also always been a children’s movie. The first film for example featured a little kid that loved turtles and then came across Gamera. This one has a group of boy scouts as the main characters. The problem is the movie spends far more time on the kids than the monster.<br /><br />Another issue is it seems like the studio ran out of ideas with this film. Hence there’s a long sequence where the aliens want to find out Gamera’s weaknesses so they just replay the end fight from Gamera vs Barugon.. The fact that Barugon was a horrible looking monster doesn’t make this any better. Then they do the same thing with the third Gamera film Gamera vs Gyaos. There’s nothing that says lack of creative imagination then simply putting in a long scene from an old movie into a new one, and here they did it twice!<br /><br />Gamera was created in response to the Godzilla craze. It was never half as successful due to films like this one.

How people will willinglly go along with state sponsored violence
I heard about this experiment before so I was interested to watch this movie. It turns out to be quiet profound. A professor at Yale played by Peter Sarsgaard set up an experiment where people were told to deliver an electric shock to another person if they answered wrong questions on a test. They wanted to see how far people would go to inflict pain on others. It showed how in formal situations people were willing to follow orders and seriously hurt people. Sarsgaard’s character was inspired to try to understand why people took part in the Holocaust and other egregious crimes. Sarsgaard speaks directly at the audience to make his points such as what he thought his experiment said about how America would react if it was faced with the threat of a dictator. It wasn’t pretty. You can just guess what the institutional response is. It’s a film everyone should see.

Jesus as a subversive undermining empire and slavery
In the 1950s and 60s Hollywood was big on giant historical dramas about the Greeks and Romans. Here Richard Burton is haunted by the death of Jesus. In trying to rid himself of this curse he finds Christianity.<br /><br />The movie has a very interesting beginning because it focuses upon empire and slavery under the Romans. Those at the bottom are the ones drawn to Jesus as he leads a subversive movement that challenges the powers that be by preaching to look out for the poor and sick and loving others. The unmentioned irony is that the Roman empire eventually became Christian so all the wrongs in the film were later done by followers of Christ.<br /><br />Burton does the same job he did in other epics like Cleopatra. He also suffers from some real overacting in places but I can overlook that. It’s definitely a worthwhile film.

It very well could have been called bumbling because that’s what everyone does. It goes in some REALLY weird and unexpected directions. The backdrop is life in a small southern town where most people know each other and little happens. If you like quirky stories than The Death Of Dick Long is for you.

Not impressed
A drug dealer has set up shop in an old theater across the way from the local Veterans of Foreign Wars outpost. The two come into conflict in VFW. It’s like a mix of Assault on Precinct 13 as the old vets make their stand inside the club and a zombie movie as a never ending group of druggies and gang members come through the doors. It might have worked on paper but in terms of the actual product it’s just okay. You know the rules of the movie and what to expect and it delivers but it’s only slightly entertaining. The best part of the movie is the cast of Stephen Lang, William Sadler, Martin Kove, David Patrick Kelly, Fred Williamson and George Wendt.<br />C

It's like a horribly written space soap opera
I was really disappointed with this movie. It’s a history of Captain Harlock’s relatives throughout history. The writing is so bad. It sounds like a soap opera most of the time with yearnings about freedom and people talking about their love for each other will never end. It just started grating on my nerves having to listen to the dialogue. I literally couldn’t wait until it was over.

Four ghost stories from ancient Japan
Kwaidan is made up of four ghost stories. The first is about a wrong choice. The second is about a broken promise. The third is about samurai legends and the fourth is about a haunting. Each one is unique and many of them borrow from the style of a Noh play. I liked the third one the best because it starts with one of the most famous samurai battles. It was unique because it took place at sea. Then the dead samurai come back and ask a blind monk to sing their tale to them. The imagery is just as good as the stories. In that third tale for instance the monk is covered head to toe in a sutra to protect him from the ghosts. He looks striking.

Good Film Noir version of Batman's origins
By the title you can tell this is about the origins of Batman. It has a Hardboiled detective/Film Noir feel to it with both Bruce Wayne and Gordon doing voice overs. Not only that but Gotham is portrayed as a city full of corruption starting with the police. That gives is the individual against the world feel to it as well. I liked the combination and they even threw in the start of Cat Woman for good measure.

Beatnik horror flick that's got a bit of genius to it
A horror movie based upon The Beatnik movement? Yes, that’s what A Bucket Of Blood is about. Thus the start has a poet reciting a piece of work over a saxophone in a club.<br /><br />The movie features Dick Miller as a simple man who works in the club but aspires to be an artist like all the ones he sees at work. His work turns out to be murder.<br /><br />I liked the Beat elements which are throughout the film from the Folk singer to the characters in the club. Then Miller tries to be a Beatnik and it’s hilarious.<br /><br />This really is a bit of genius and one of Roger Coreman’s greatest releases. The only drawback from this version is that it’s colorized. It’s actually not half bad, but the black and white version is what you want to see.

Loving Hip Hop as a metaphor for Lathan and Diggs' love for each other
Brown Sugar is an engaging story about how difficult love can be. Sanaa Lathan and Taye Diggs have known each other since they were kids but never followed through with their emotions for each other. They also love Hip Hop and it’s like a characters in the story. Lathan and Diggs are always talking about the essence of Hip Hop and whether they can still find it or not. Which of course is also about whether they can find each other. That also means there are lots of cameos by old school stars like Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, De La Soul and others, plus Mos Def and Queen Latifah are part of the cast as well. The chemistry between Lathan and Diggs drives the movie. That was easy because they were just in Love and Basketball a few years before. The story never gets sappy as well.

Fitting exit for Sean Connery from the Bond series
Diamonds Are Forever was the seventh James Bond film and the last with Sean Connery. He actually announced he was no longer going to do the series after You Only Live Twice, but after the experiment with George Lazenby in the lead didn’t work out in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service Connery was convinced to come back and do one more. SPECTRE leader Ernst Blofeld (Charles Gray) returned as the bad guy this time with a plan to put a laser into a satellite and hold the entire world for ransom. The movie gets its name from the fact that Bond initially gets involved in the case chasing smuggled diamonds, which are used for Blofeld’s laser. The movie was a fitting exit for Connery from the franchise because he really looked like he was aging out of the role.<br /><br />The film has most of the elements associated with Bond movies by this time. There was a classy title track by Shirley Bassey and composed by John Barry. There were two Bond girls, first Tiffany Case (Jill St. John) who was working for the diamond smugglers and then becomes Bond’s companion. Also Plenty O’Toole (Lana Wood) who Bond meets at a casino in Las Vegas. Interestingly there were no real gadgets in this film. The movie was also unique for having two contract killers Wint (Bruce Glover) and Kidd (Putter Smith) who were gay lovers.<br /><br />As for Connery he wore a hairpiece in all the Bond movies even the first one Dr. No. Here it was really apparent that he had a toupee on. He was also looking much older and this role called for someone with a more youthful look.<br /><br />Still Diamonds Are Forever was a very good Bond film and was much better than the previous two in the series On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and You Only Live Twice.<br />C

Plenty of special effects but forgot about the story
Sky Captain is a science fiction film which takes place in a fantasy 1939 New York City which is under attack by giant robots sent by an unknown enemy. The Sky Captain (Jude Law) is the hero pilot who protects the city with the help of his technician Dex (Giovanni Ribisi). There’s also his ex-girlfriend and journalist Polly (Gwyneth Paltrow). The story revolves around New York being attacked and the Sky Captain and crew trying to figure out who is behind it. That takes them on an adventure across the world.<br /><br />The movie is highly stylized with everything shot with special effects. That’s meant to make it look like an old film from the past.<br /><br />The problem is that the movie is just not engaging. None of its characters nor action are that interesting. I never felt any of it was compelling. It’s like they went for all the bells and whistles and forgot to write a good story.<br />C

Great ending that would never be done in Hollywood
Andy Lau is a police bomb expert going up against Wu Jiang who wants revenge. The movie takes a cue from John Woo’s Hard Boiled on the dramatic hostage situation when Jiang takes over an entire underground highway tunnel. He also taunts Lau by leaving bombs all over Hong Kong for him to deactivate. The best part is the big confrontation at the end because it doesn’t follow the usual script and would never be made in Hollywood.

Harold works for 2 idiots and decides to turn the tables on them
Gringo is a comedy based around David Oyelowo as Harold Soyinka. He’s a very loyal worker at Promethium Pharmaceuticals. His bosses Richard (Joel Edgerton) and Elaine (Charlize Theron) are not only jerks, but they’re dumb as well. It turns out they were supplying drugs to a Mexican cartel while trying to sell the company which would include firing most of their workers including Harold. The story is about how Harold deals with his two idiot bosses.<br /><br />The movie focused upon personalities like Richard and Elaine and used them for the comedy as well. When they travel to Mexico for example Elaine sees a manager of a factory they work with, the pictures of all his kids on the wall and then asks if they sold birth control there or not. Them being jerks is used to great effect.<br /><br />Oyelowo does a great job as first the innocent and then the schemer, especially because he’s not very good at it. Special shout out goes out to Sharito Copely who plays Mitch a man whose sent to Mexico to retrieve Harold. I always love seeing him in the movies.<br /><br />The story also goes through a number of twists and turns to keep it interesting.<br />C

Step above the usual 70s Japanese exploitation/Pinky films
Sex and Fury was a 1970s Japanese exploitation film featuring Reiko Ike as Ocho who was famous for this genre, known as Pinky films.<br /><br />Things start in the Meiji era when Japan was opening up to the west, carrying out reforms, and becoming an imperialist power in Asia. A very young Ocho is walking with her father who is suddenly murdered by two villains for being a policeman. Later in life Ocho becomes a sword wielding Yakuza (gangster).<br /><br />Yakuza films were a huge part of Japanese cinema and the ones set in the past all had the same major elements. There was thievery, there was gambling, there was murder. Thrown in with that is some political intrigue and lots of sex and nudity as well. For instance, a gang boss wants revenge upon Ocho and sets his men upon her, but she cuts them all down while wearing no clothes. That scene actually turns into a ballet as Ocho is jumping around cutting off extremities and dropping men left and right. At one point you just see her feet and her victims falling. In another scene Ocho is trying to help a man carry out a political assassination against a corrupt businessman on a train when she’s confronted with a bunch of nuns with knives. These are some of the reasons why Sex And Fury was a step above the usual Pink films of its time. Then again, there is a LOT of softcore sex scenes in between.<br />C

Enjoyed the campiness of it all
The Puppet Master series of movies are a cult classic. You have to suspend your sense of belief to get into it because it’s about puppets taking down people. I enjoyed Part II for its campiness.

Fear mistrust and repression in USSR
“There can be no murder in paradise.” This is an opening quote in Child 44 which is about living under Stalin in post-World War II USSR. Tom Hardy plays a former secret policeman who is exiled to a nether region of the country. There he finds a child molester killing kids. The problem is Stalin says murder only happens under capitalism. The story plays upon the fear, mistrust and repression under the totalitarian state and how the truth did not exist. The movie is part political commentary about the Soviet Union and part murder mystery. Hardy turns in a strong performance as usual and shows how someone could go from a hero to a villain in a flash under the Soviet system.

One of Sergio Leone's classics but pacing could've been better
Italian director Sergio Leone took the American cowboy movie and made it his own creating the Spaghetti Western. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly was a perfect example. The story was part war movie taking place during the Civil War and part treasure hunt as three desperate characters Clint Eastwood as Blondie the Good, Lee Van Cleef as Angel Eyes the Bad, and Eli Wallach as Tuco the Ugly searched for a cache of hidden gold. The story is about friendship, revenge, and betrayal.<br /><br />At first, Angel Eyes is the only one that knows about the gold and Tuco is just chasing Blondie seeking revenge against him. Eventually all three find out about the money and they attempt to manipulate and abuse each other to find it. It takes half the movie however to get to that point. They could have cut down the first half a bit.<br /><br />The best part of the movie is saved for the end as Blondie, Angel Eyes and Tuco face off in a cemetery. Each takes up a separate side of a circle and stare each other down waiting for one of them to pull their gun. To the winner goes the gold. Leone played up the tension between the three by doing close ups of each characters’ face with their eyes darting back and forth looking at their other two opponents. Then the camera focuses upon their hands as they got closer and closer to their pistols. The music grows louder and louder until they draw. It’s a classic scene.<br /><br />The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is considered one of Leone’s masterpieces. My only criticism is I wish they would have speeded up the pace of the film because the second half is markedly better than the start.<br />C

A completely absurdist world
To say this movie is a bit bizarre would be an understatement. A woman gets out of her car and guns down a cow. Later Colin Farrell looks over a group of people who have been shot with tranquilizer guns for being loners. Then Farrell is told that he’ll be turned into an animal unless he finds a partner. What?!? It just keeps on getting stranger and stranger. That’s the reason why you watch The Lobster. To see how weird things can get. The movie creates a totally absurdist world. It’s like something out of a Monty Python skit but without the laughs. It’s quite a feat to have thought this all up and pulled it off.

Not your typical love story but it'll still pull on your heartstrings
I’ve wanted to see Love Story for a long time and finally did. It was really worthwhile. I can’t recommend it enough. O’Neal and MacGraw are very endearing and make the story go. I love MacGraw’s attitude. As soon as they meet they insult each other non-stop. If that’s not romance what is?! Added to that is class conflict and a BIG twist at the end.

Surreal exploraiton into machines sex and revenge
At the start of the movie it says this is a monster movie in human size. (As opposed to the giant Kaiju popular in Japanese cinema). The story is about machines, sex and revenge all mixed together in a black and white, art film exploration into the surreal.<br /><br />The plot is discordant. The scenes don’t always seem to go together and some random things are thrown in as well. It’s meant to throw the viewer off balance. The filming does the same. In one scene the main character is at a train station and sees a woman’s hand turn into a machine. She chases him as the camera flips all around from different angles to upside down and side to side, etc. It’s meant to portray the fear and confusion of the character. There are other scenes where everything is in fast motion or go in reverse.<br /><br />There are some really crazy and outrageous scenes to the film as well that you just have to see.<br /><br />It’s easy to see why it’s a cult classic but it is definitely not for everyone.<br />C

Eccentric exaggerated and fun
When Tim Burton remade the classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory you knew it was going to be eccentric, exaggerated and fun. The movie had the same theme as the original that the poor and humble would be rewarded while the rich and spoiled would get their just desserts.<br /><br />The start of the movie closely follows the original. It’s not until the kids arrive at the Chocolate Factory that Burton starts putting his stamp on things. You get a display that goes up in flames and then Wonka appears and is a complete weirdo. The next thing you know Wonka is talking about how everything it edible including himself but that would be cannibalism and is frowned upon. That’s when you know you’re on a wild ride to the far side.<br /><br />The one drawback of Burton’s version was that none of the songs were memorable. In the original you had tunes like The Candy Man and the Oompa Loompa song which I still remember from my childhood. The new ones were really lacking in catchiness.<br /><br />Still I really enjoyed this version of the Wonka tale.

Great spoof of the horror genre
Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is a spoof of the horror genre. It plays with popular trope of college students going camping where they run into Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk. The kids think they’re a bunch of creepy rednecks which sets up the whole story about misinterpretation between the two groups.

Chiwetel Ejiofor man of principles pulled in different directions by friends and foes
Redbelt was written and directed by David Mamet. It’s a story that will constantly surprise you. It’s based upon Chiwetel Ejiofor a judo instructor with strong principals based upon his interpretation of martial arts. He’s caught between his school which he can’t finance, his student Max Martini who gets in trouble with a cover up, Rodrigo Santoro who wants Ejiofor to fight in a MMA match he’s promoting, and Tim Allen a star actor that looks like he’s trying to help but just wants to manipulate him. These people pull Ejiofor in all different directions. Not all of them work however. Allen’s role seems muddled for instance. The saving grace is Ejiofor who I’ve always liked. He provides another strong performance as a moral man surrounded by many immoral people.

A battle between the haves: Vampire lords vs the have nots: Werewolf slaves
Rise of the Lycans was the third installment of the Underworld franchise. This one went back to the origins of Lucian (Michael Sheen) and how he became the leader of the Werewolves. The theme is more pronounced than the first movie about the world being divided between the haves the Vampires who are the lords and the Lycanthropes/Werewolves who are the have notes who serve as slaves.<br /><br />The story of oppressors and oppressed is laid out right at the start. The vampire lord Viktor (Bill Nighy) returning from the original film, bred Lucian to be a servant and keep other werewolves subservient. Lucian is even told to kill other werewolves who are in the wild because they are considered “beasts.” This is a typical tactic to control the minds of slaves to repress them and turn them against their own kind.<br /><br />Of course no system of oppression can go unchallenged and Lucian eventually leads an uprising which is the second part of the film.<br /><br />The movie has plenty of action, plenty of werewolves and vampires, and a good message on top which makes it just as good as the two previous releases in the series.<br />C

Not bad for a B movie
An officer that was never supposed to be a skipper gets command of a submarine for a super secret mission to find a Japanese fleet during World War II. That’s the basis for Submarine Seakhawk. Every submarine movie has the same elements. They spend lots of time underwater leading to tension, get hit with depth charges, etc. Submarine Seahawk has that. What’s original about it is the resentment the crew has for the captain. Instead of coming together under the pressure of war they come apart. Yeah there are some cringe worthy moments like when they try to get the nerdy crewman a woman but it’s still pretty good for a B movie.

Chris Christofferson is hired to bring law & order to town but he's a bad guy
This movie is like an old Western. A group of rowdy and violent oil workers terrorize a small town so they go to Vietnam vet Chris Christofferson who brings along some friends to bring law and order. The twist is Christofferson isn’t so straight himself. That’s the big dilemma in the movie as the town has to figure out what to do with their new police. What stood out was all the 70s stars in the films before they got big. There’s Victoria Principal from Dallas. Most of the time she was just there to look pretty as she flung back her hair. Bernadette Peters plays Christofferson’s girlfriend and has some funny moments about her singing ability. David Doyle from Charlie’s Angels, Loni Anderson from WKRP in Cincinnati, plus Paul Gleason which I always associate with Mr. Vernon from The Breakfast Club make appearances as well. It all makes for a decent 1970s action flick.

A story that touches on survival nature and religion
Life Of Pi is a story about survival, nature and religion. It’s the tale of Pi Patel (Suraj Sharma) surviving on a boat in the middle of the Pacific with a tiger named Richard Parker. Nature is not only represented by the tiger but the ocean and all the animals in it which are beautifully presented via plenty of CGI special effects. It’s about religion because Pi embraced Hinduism, Christianity and Islam when he grew up in India. During his ordeal he asked why God had put him in that situation and then thanked him during the journey. It’s a pretty amazing story, but I have to say it’s a bit like Castaway in that it tries your patience sometimes because of its length and the monotony of the sea.

Political thriller about a coup in US that goes a bit off the rails
The Enemy Within is a political thriller. Forest Whitaker plays a Marine colonel who believes his boss Jason Robards who is the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is plotting a coup against the president Sam Waterston. The story slowly builds up tensions and Whitaker plays a good character feeling conflicted about what to do. Things go off the rails a bit when the Russians get involved however. If they’d cut that this would have been a lot better.

Crime drama road trip love story social commentary Black Fantasy
Queen & Slim is part crime drama. It’s part road trip. It’s part love story. It’s part social-political commentary on America today. It is a black fantasy. Director Melina Matsoukas said she was inspired by every conversation she’s had with African Americans.<br /><br />The story revolves around two young black people going on a date via Tinder. They are exact opposites. Slim is outgoing and religious. Angela is anti-social, curt, and doesn't believe in God. The date goes nowhere and on their way home they get stopped by the police for not using a turn signal. The stop goes wrong, and the two become fugitives. They travel across America on the run. They become heroes in the black community, criminals to whites, while they discover each other. It's at this point that the movie becomes like a fairy tale as the two go from one amazing and fantastical situation after another that would never happen in real life.<br /><br />Some people are going to be offended by this movie as celebrating criminals ignoring the long history of America making heroes and myths out of those that break the law. Others are going to remark about why the couple would flee a crime scene, but that's because they are unaware or simply don't care about what police have done in real life to unarmed black people, even some within their own homes.<br /><br />More importantly it’s a comment upon present day U.S. society where there are constant stories of police violence and murder of black people. It will make you mad. It will make you cry. Well worth seeing.

Movies are so inconsistent it's not worth buying this collection
This collection of four movies is so wildly inconsistent it’s really not worth purchasing.<br /><br />First, there’s Legend of the Eight Samurai which is a really cheesy 80s release that showed why Japanese cinema fell apart during that decade. It looks like a live action anime film with an evil villainous Lady Tamazusa trying to exact revenge upon the Satomi Clan. The characters look like they walked off the set of a Power Rangers episode. Sonny Chiba has a supporting role as a warrior protecting the Satomi princess from Tamazus. So sad that movies had come to look like Japanese kids TV shows.<br /><br />Next is Ninja Wars, which is a more serious period-fantasy film featuring a very young Hiyoyuki Sanada as Jotaro trying to save the spirit of his girlfriend and her half sister from an evil samurai Lord Donjo who wants to use the them to seduce the wife of his rival. This was released before the country’s films fell apart so it’s not so bad. Chiba is barely in this movie however.<br /><br />G.I. Samurai had a very interesting concept of a group of Japanese soldiers from the modern era travelling back in time to the Warring period of Japan and joining a young samurai in an attempt to take over the country. What could have been very interesting turns into a ridiculous plot that was really horribly written. Chiba is the star of this film leading the Japanese soldiers.<br /><br />Finally Resurrection of Golden Wolf is probably the best of the four movies included, but again suffers from poor writing. It centers upon Tetsuya Asaukra who looks like a run of the mill Japanese office worker at Tawa Oil Company, but is actually secretly a thief. He tries to swindle his company out of money only to get hired by his bosses to carry out an assassination. The movie is about the corruption within corporate Japan, but when the movie should have ended it just kept going on for no good reason. It just dragged on and on. Again, Chiba has a bit part in this film being a pimp and blackmailer trying to take advantage of one of the corporate heads at Tawa.<br /><br />Overall, none of the movies is a must see and Sonny Chiba is barely in some of them. This was obviously a compilation simply trying to cash in on his name.

Fun follow up while offering nothing new
Wrath of the Titans was the follow up to the Clash of the Titans. It featured many of the same characters including Sam Worthington as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, and Danny Huston as Poseidon, while introducing new ones such as Rosamund Pike as Andromeda, Edgar Ramirez as Ares, Bill Nighy as Hephaestus, Toby Kebbell as Agenor, and John Bell as Helios. The movie is about Perseus trying to save the gods from human stopping worshipping them which unleashes all kinds of evil upon the world.<br /><br />The story follows the same basic path as the first movie but with more action. For example Perseus gets together a group of warriors and goes on a quest. This time what he runs into are bigger and better like a family of cyclops and a labyrinth. While this is fun there’s nothing especially original. The ending battle is much bigger than that in Clash of the Titans, but it’s the same basic idea as the first with Perseus going up against a giant monster.<br /><br />Despite the limitations the movie is still a good watch.<br />C

Burton does great job with classic Sleepy Hollow story part mystery part horror
Sleepy Hollow was Tim Burton’s take on the famous Legend of Sleepy Hollow short story featuring the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane. If there was ever a story Burton was born for it’s Sleepy Hollow. His love of the macabre and dark themes meant he did a fantastic job.<br /><br />Burton made the movie part procedural whodonit and part thriller-horror. Crane questions the townsfolk, goes through their records, and examines the victim’s bodies to try to figure out who the Headless Horseman is. The Horseman himself emerges from a tree full of blood and severs the heads of the leading townsfolk one after another. It turns out the story is one about a conspiracy and revenge.<br /><br />Christopher Walken as the Horseman does a great job. He doesn't get to do anything but kill people and scream and growl, but it is impressive. His facial expressions portray a real evil. Depp has a strong performance as well. He’s part bumbler part detective. They give some background to him as well and his dealings with the occult.<br /><br />Burton should be commended for Sleepy Hollow. It was the perfect outlet for his unique vision of movies.<br />C

Best Terminator in the entire franchise
It’s hard to pull off a successful sequel in any business. Terminator 2: Judgement Day however took the story to a new level. This time James Cameron who co-wrote, produced and directed the film flipped the story. The original Terminator (Arnold Schwazenegger) became a hero to save the future instead of trying to destroy it and a new generation of Terminator the T-1000 (Robert Patrick) was created to wipe him out along with Sarah (Linda Hamilton) and her son John Connor (Edward Furlong).<br /><br />The first thing that helped out Terminator 2 was the advances in special effects. Both the first and second movies for instance had scenes from the future. With the progression in technology Terminator 2’s vision of the machines wiping out the humans looked far more realistic. More importantly the job they did with the T-1000 who was able to shape shift was state of the art at the time and still holds up today.<br /><br />Changing Schwazenegger’s character was more than just having him going to protect the Connors, they gave him a makeover as well. For instance, when he first appears he comes out of a bar and they play “Bad To The Bone”. They also turned part of the movie into an odd couple/buddy film as he protects John Connor.<br /><br />He wasn’t the only one, Sarah Connor also went through a transformation. In the first movie she was an innocent. After he run in with the Terminator however, she became a warrior preparing herself for the coming apocalypse.<br /><br />The story, the effects, the action all added up to a great sci-fi move that proved to the best of the entire franchise.<br />C

Exposes the institutional flaws with the American criminal justice system
Just Mercy is a very important film dealing with due process, equal justice, race and class. It is based upon a true story that makes the message more powerful. It teaches an important lesson. It will have you shed a tear. That being said it is not without flaws.<br /><br />First the good.<br /><br />Just Mercy focuses upon a young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) who is fresh out of Harvard Law School and decides to take up cases of people on death row who lack representation in Alabama. His main client becomes Walter McMillan aka Johnny D (Jamie Foxx) who was convicted of murder and given the death sentence based upon a flawed case.<br /><br />The movie deals with the institutional racism of the criminal justice system. As Stevenson investigates McMillan’s case he comes up against police who considered him a criminal before they arrested him, public defenders who never argued his case, courts who already decided Johnny was guilty before the trial, and an appellate court that maintains this system of injustice. As Stevenson eloquently argues several times before a judge, America should be judge not by how it treats those at the top or the majority but those who are poor and minorities. That will be the true test of whether America has justice. This is an important message that needs to be emphasized again and again because most people take the system for granted and believe that it works when it rarely does for people like McMillan.<br /><br />Here’s the problems with the film. First, maybe because it’s just the nature of these types of procedural films where the lawyers have to investigate, go through court records, interview people, etc., but the pacing is very, VERY slow for the first half of the movie. Clocking in at just over two hours long that means a lot. The second issue is that the movie is very conventional meaning you know where everything is going beforehand.<br /><br />This is still a great movie and it really needs to be seen by a wide audience.

Fun heist movie
Audrey Hepburn’s father Hugh Griffith can’t stop making forgeries of great pieces of European art. She decides to work with Peter O’Toole to save her dad from his vanity. The movie mixes comedy with a heist story along with some romance between Hepburn and O’Toole. I thought it was a fun movie with Hepburn, Griffith and O’Toole all shining. Griffith was funny when he went on and on about why he did what he did. Hepburn and O’Toole brought their charisma. There are also some twists and turns thrown in with the robbery.

Good overview of the Stooges but most of it is Iggy talking
Gimme Danger is a documentary about Iggy and the Stooges by Jim Jarmusch. At the start Jarmusch says he’s making a movie about “The greatest Rock ‘N’ Roll band in history.”<br /><br />The movie covers Iggy’s early exposure to music and how that led to his first bands in high school. How the Stooges were formed. How they weren’t political and yet they were. For instance he said they lived in a squat together in Detroit and were Communists because they lived together and shared everything. Mc5 came along and helped them sign a music deal but Iggy was disillusioned with the business believing it was exploited by record companies and managers to put out puffy pop music. Then drugs wrecked everything.<br /><br />At the same time it’s really apparent that they couldn’t really play for a long time and they tried to have free form songs like Jazz going on and on that were really bad. They were trying to experiment and were under the influence of drugs but when they can’t play making long songs just ends up sounding like garbage.<br /><br />There’s old photographs, archival footage, random shots of the 50s and 60s, and music by the Stooges thrown in to push the story along. The major drawback is that the vast majority of the movie is just Iggy talking. It’s a traditional approach but maybe they could have done somethings just a little different.

One of Chan's best from the 90s
In Operation Condor Jackie Chan plays a treasure hunter who is sent by the United Nations to find some gold hidden by German soldiers in North Africa during World War II. It was obviously inspired by the Indiana Jones series of films.<br /><br />Of course what you want to see in a Chan movie is stunts and have some fun and Operation Condor delivers on both counts. The first scene has Jackie going down a huge mountain in an inflated ball. Another time two men are beating up Jackie to get the treasure map and he complains to them about why they don’t beat up the woman who is in charge of the expedition instead. Don’t forget the blooper reel that runs during the closing credits as well.<br /><br />Overall the writing was very good. The action was great and Chan and his cast really looked like they were having a good time making this movie.<br />C

Film Noir in a small rural town in Wyoming
Red Rock West is a thriller featuring Nicholas Cage who is mistaken for someone else which sinks him deeper and deeper into trouble. The film has elements of Film Noir such as Cage being the doomed lead and Lara Flynn Boyle being a femme fatale. Usually Noirs are about urban life but this one takes place in a small town in Wyoming. Parts are also like a dark comedy with some of the situations Cage gets into. I remember watching this in a theater when it came out and it still holds up today.

Chan really got to show off his highly choreographed fight scenes in this historical action comedy
Hollywood always had to put Jackie Chan in buddy movies because they were afraid that American audiences couldn’t understand him with his accent. Shanghai Knights was one of these as Chan hooked up with Owen Wilson in a historical action comedy. The story focuses upon two lords, one Chinese played by Donnie Ye and one British played by Aiden Gillen plotting to seize power which Chan and Wilson have to stop.<br /><br />As with Chan’s other U.S. films there are familiar roles. Wilson is the fast talking America. Chan is the action man. What Shanghai Knights did better than Chan’s previous movies was allow him to do his elaborate choreographed fight scenes like he did in Hong Kong. In one scene they play Singing In The Rain in the background because that’s what Chan’s style was really like a dance routine. That also provides the main draw of the film along with some comedic moments play by both Chan and Wilson.<br />C

The story is about the conflict that ensued as she moved up in life and he continued trying to grift off of her. The movie is made out to be like a documentary so it switches from Hemingway and Roberts’ life to interviews with people like Cliff Robertson as Hugh Hefner. I have to say Roberts really had the slimy act down pat. As soon as you look at him you can tell he was a swindler. Hemingway plays the insecure and innocent girl which explains why she was taken in by someone like Roberts. It makes for a powerful story about the cost of fame.

Tense starts as hijackers try to take over a plane but story fades halfway through
7500 was obviously inspired by the 9/11 attacks. A group of terrorists attempt to take over a plane flying from Europe. This time they don’t take over the cockpit however. The story is the struggle between the co-pilot Joseph Gordon-Levitt who controls the plane and the terrorists who control the passengers and crew.<br /><br />The movie was filmed in just the cockpit and the area right outside of it. That was meant to increase the drama by using two very confined spaces. Unfortunately the story loses steam about halfway through. The dynamic between Gordon-Levitt and the hijackers fades and you can predict where things go at the end.<br />C

A man finds out his whole life is a lie when he goes to Mars
Mars is the site of strategic mining for Earth. There is a revolt going on there however which threatens the enterprise. Thrown into the middle of things is Doug (Arnold Schwarzenegger) a working class construction worker. Doug has constant dreams about going to Mars so he tries a new system called Total Recall that implants thoughts into people’s minds including a trip to the red planet. He chooses a package that would make him a secret agent. The problems start when he claims he’s a secret agent even before the process begins. He finds out his whole life was a lie.<br /><br />Total Recall was a blast when it came out and is still great fun today. It had some of the best special effects before CGI took over. There’s a great scene where Doug is using a mechanical woman’s body and it comes apart in segments. The story was just as good. Even after the first reveal that Doug’s life wasn’t what he thought it was their continued to be twists and turns. By this time writers also realized that Schwarzenegger was great with one liners so there are a bunch of those throughout the film. It even plays upon a common theme of the rich and powerful exploiting the people for their own gain. Overall this still stands as a great piece of sci-fi.<br />C

Throws in 2 plots when it should have stuck to 1
Confidence Girl was another attempt to make a realistic crime film. It starts with the actual sheriff of Los Angeles giving a speech about the danger of scam artists. It then goes into the story of a woman played by Hillary Brooke who rips off department stores and a private detective Tom Conway on her trail. It what seems like a very routine story throws in an immediate twist which keeps things interesting as there is a scam within the scam. That makes it not your usual crime drama but then the movie becomes drawn out and goes into a whole other story about Brooke being a clairvoyant. If it had just stuck to one of the two stories it would have been better off.

Classic comedy about a day in the life of Craig (Ice Cube) living in LA
Friday is the classic comedy about one day in the life of Ice Cube as Craig and Chris Tucker as Smokey in Los Angeles. The story was co-written by Ice Cub and made by his production company. The movie was full of funny situations but was really driven by the characters.<br /><br />Right at the start you get a sense of what Craig’s life is like. He wakes up, makes a giant bowl of cereal but finds out there’s no milk. His dad tells him to put some water in it and eat it. Then his friend Smokey comes over and they spend the day out on the porch talking.<br /><br />Smokey is a perfect example of the characters that surround Craig. He’s always talking trash and trying to get high. There’s Deebo (Tiny Lister Jr) who is the bully of the neighborhood and takes whatever he wants. He’s a like a shark who everyone is scared of when he shows up. Ezal (Anthony Johnson) is a local crackhead who’s always asking for money. Their interactions is what makes the story. It's a great comedy about life in the hood.<br />C

Beautiful coming of age film with a twist involving the mafia and race
A Bronx Tale is an amazing coming of age movie based upon a play of the same name written by Chazz Palminteri who also stars in the film. It was based upon his own experiences growing up in the Bronx. Robert De Niro saw the play and decided to make it into a film. He too appears in the movie and was the director. The film is about father figures, peer pressure, interracial love, and the mafia.<br /><br />A Bronx Tale tells the story of Calogero Anello played by Francis Capra when he was young and then Lilo Brancanto as a teen growing up in 1960s New York City. His father Lorenzo, Robert De Niro, is a bus driver who always tells his son that “The saddest thing in life is wasted talent.” He’s very protective of Calogero but unfortunately he looks up to the local mafia boss on his block Sonny LoSpecchio played by Palminteri. That creates one piece of drama as Calogero is drawn towards Sonny while his father tries to stop him.<br /><br />You also get the mafia angle. Sonny kills a man on the street over a parking space for instance, he and his boys beat up some bikers that come into their neighborhood, and Sonny is afraid someone is going to kill him. The movie shows both the allure of mafioso which Calogero gets caught up in, but his father and even Calogero talk about how it’s not a good life because you can never trust anyone. As Calogero’s father says, no one loves Sonny, they just fear him.<br /><br />The third conflict in the film is that Calogero falls for a black girl named Jane Williams played by Taral Hicks. When Calogero first sees Jane on his dad’s bus it’s like time stands still. When he sees her for the second time in school she has the same affect upon him. Both times the song “I Only Have Eyes For You” plays in the background. This is an immediate problem because most of Calogero’s neighborhood was racist against African-Americans, while Italians are not popular in Jane’s neighborhood either. This adds another element to the coming of age story.<br /><br />A Bronx Tale is a wonderful mix of themes, well-played by the three main stars De Niro, Palminteri and Capra-Brancato.<br />C

Man faces repercussions for gaining knowledge
John Travolta gets special powers one night from lights in the sky. The movie paints a believable path of what happens to him afterwards. First he tries to improve himself through reading, gardening, etc. Then he tries to help others like when he finds a sick boy. He eventually catches the attention of people outside his small town and that’s when all the problems start.<br /><br />At first I wasn’t sure where the story was going because it seemed like he was going to use his gift to get a woman and that wouldn’t be that satisfactory. When the story got complicated that’s when it was at its best. Of course, you can still predict much of the end but it's still engaging.
