Teen girl has to figure out that sex won't define her life
Diary of a Teenage Girl is about Minnie played by Bel Powley going through puberty in 1970s San Francisco. It’s always a difficult time for teens and she’s a perfect example. Her hormones are driving her crazy which leads her to make some really bad decisions about sex. These types of movies almost always have happy endings so you just want to see how much Powley will screw up and whether she will fall off the ledge before she gets her stuff together. Her dilemma is that she believes that sex will give her meaning and connections in life when she needs to figure out how to be herself on her own. The movie really captures Minnie’s thinking via her diary entries. She’s also an artist so sometimes her thoughts and emotions are expressed through animation. That helps capture some of the feel of the 70s as well. Overall it’s a successful look at a teenager trying to figure out her life.

Succeeds despite the script
21 Bridges is one of those films that’s successful despite its script. That means you can figure out the twist in the plot half way through the movie, but the action and tension is still good enough to sustain the viewer’s interests until the end.<br /><br />The movie focuses upon detective Andre Davis (Chadwick Boseman). His father was a cop who died on duty, and Davis himself is known for getting into a series of shootings. At the start, he has to go before Internal Affairs to explain his last such incident. That’s actually misdirection.<br /><br />The story is about a robbery gone awry. Ray Jackson (Taylor Kitsch) and Michael Trujillo (Stephen James) pull off a robbery of cocaine that goes wrong from the start. They end up shooting a bunch of cops and are on the run right from the start. Davis is called in to find them in just 4 hours. His new partner is narcotics officer Frankie Burns (Sienna Miller). The movie is part chase, part investigation, part gun play. Despite the plot flaw with an obvious twist the movie creates good tension and drama. Boseman and James do a good job as the two leads.

Nothing but hits
LL has been around for so long that when he does a set like this it’s nothing but hits. There’s no filler from his latest album that he has to use because he lacks material. He also mixed up the old with the new. One moment he’s playing Around The Way Girl the next he’s doing I Need Love. Good stuff.

Can't decide whether it wants to be a crime drama or a romance
Sean Connery as Army Lieutenant Colonel Alan Caldwell and Mark Hamon as San Francisco Police Inspector Jay Austin star in the murder mystery The Presidio. The Presidio was an army base in San Francisco where a murder occurs when a Military Police Officer and two SF Police Officers are killed in an apparent robbery. Austin is assigned the case and Lt. Col. Caldwell is the commander of the base. The movie starts off as a crime flick but then gets caught up in a love story.<br /><br />The movie actually doesn’t focus upon the crime initially but the relationship between Caldwell and Austin. Austin used to be a military policeman at the Presidio, but the two got into an argument about a case and Austin ended up quitting. Austin also likes Caldwell’s daughter Donna played by Meg Ryan. This relationship triangle is supposed to add tension to the investigation as Caldwell and Austin constantly clash over more than just the crime. That’s also the problem with the film because it can’t decide what kind of movie it wants to be. Is it a romance or a crime drama? It never figures that out and the story suffers as a result.

Spends too much time on people not enough on the piranha
Only in horror movies do people sneak into an off limits facility, find a pool and jump in. Of course, this is where the deadly Piranha first appear in this 1978 film.<br /><br />The basis of the story was that the army was experimenting upon fish at the facility and then abandoned it. An investigator looking for the people that got eaten in the opening unknowingly release the experimental fish upon the public.<br /><br />Most of the movie is spent on the humans trying to warn all the people down river about the coming piranha rather than the piranha themselves. It also gets predictable when the army shows up and tries to cover things up.<br /><br />Overall that does not make this a very satisfying movie to watch. I wanted more Piranha and less humans. The proportions are all wrong to make this any good.<br />C

Same villain as Poltergeist II mixed in with bad writing
Was three too many times for the Poltergeist franchise? Heather O’Rourke was visiting her uncle Tom Skerrit and his wife Nancy Allen and daughter Lara Flynn Boyle in Chicago when their entire high-rise apartment is haunted by the old white guy from the previous movie. Questions about making the movie are apparent from the start. First, re-using the same villain showed a lack of writing chops. Second, O’Rourke’s principal thinks that she’s capable of mass hypnosis, a ridiculous comment. I was shaking my head at the boneheaded plot within 20 minutes, never a good sign. It never recovered.

Half way through movie lands a gut punch
Samuel L. Jackson plays Foley an ex-con who has just been released from prison. The story is about whether he can live a straight life or if his past will drag him back to jail.<br /><br />The difficulty of being a free man is presented in three scenes. First, the son of Foley’s old boss picks him up threatening to bring him back into the life. Then he meets a woman named Iris (Ruth Negga) who is distressed and he decides to help her. Finally he loses his job doing construction. It seems like the story is pretty straight forward and Foley will quickly return to crime because he has nothing and has to take care of Iris. Then the writers land such a gut punch to the audience with a twist it’s hard to recover. The problem is this blow is introduced halfway through the movie. It would have been better if it as the climax.<br /><br />The second part turns out to be about whether Foley will be able to be free or not. Still there’s a smart ending to that so the writers definitely knew what they were doing.

Monty Python's first feature film
I used to watch Monty Python when I was a little kid. Their oddball sense of British humor was always a big hit with me. Their movies were a must see. And Now For Something Completely Different was their first full length film. It was basically a collection of skits just like their TV show.<br /><br />The opening was a perfect example of the ensemble’s irreverent humor. It’s titled “No. 42 How Not To Be Seen.” It starts with John Cleese doing a voice over explaining how there were 47 people hidden in the woods. He asks one of them to stand up and he gets shot. Then he asks the next person and he gets shot too. The next person learns their lesson and doesn’t stand up. That’s the point of the short, not to be seen. The government has the upper hand however and know where they are and blows them up. This repeats with several more people being blown up, a man that informed the government about where the people were hiding being blown up, then his house, and then the block he was born on until Cleese is blown up as well. It’s a completely subversive piece with people being killed left and right with the audience supposed to laugh at it.<br /><br />What follows is more like that. A self-defense class about how to defend yourself from people attacking you with fruit. Another about a gang made up of old women called Hell’s Grannies, etc.<br /><br />It's all a lot of fun from this classic comedy group.

The revolution will be televised
Mockingjay Part 1 finally gets to the revolution against the oppressive society which had been building up in the previous two movies. Thankfully there's no more Hunger Games for Jennifer Lawrence to run around in so everything was about the revolt. They actually did a good job talking about the necessity of speeches and images and how people could be inspired by them to fight. It emphasized that the revolution had to be televised to win supporters and come out victorious. In the second half I had some qualms with some over acting and overemotional scenes. Still, this was by far the best of the first three Hunger Games films.

It brings magic back to the public
This movie actually surprised me. When the characters say they wanted to bring magic back to the public I think the film actually achieved that. It mixes a robin hood ethos, a good dose of revenge and one uppance, some action, and some fantasy to produce quite an entertaining story. The cast is great as well. Jesse Eisenberg seems to usually play the same character in a lot of the movies he’s in but here he’s bossy and a bit arrogant. I always like watching Woody Harrelson and Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine are in supporting roles.

Good balance between the comedy and the savior stories
Madea Goes To Jail was one of the last Terry Perry films that kept his original formula from the plays of mixing comedy with a love story. Madea provides the laughs like usual such as at the start when she’s in court, praises the lord for saving her and then brags about how she beat up some cops. The other side is about Derek Luke trying to save Keshia Knight from the streets and his own guilt. I have to say I always liked the Madea moments far more than the melodrama especially in his early works where he got really sappy and always followed a formula. That’s still present in Madea Goes To Jail. The two parts are more balanced and Madea is hilarious like talking about getting get with Dr. Phil and taking out her anger on a woman who took her parking spot.

Very funny odd couple comedy with black man & 9 yr old kid that have some real chemistry
J. Lee wrote, directed and starred in this very funny buddy comedy. Lee is in therapy over his problems with relationships where he meets a 9 year old kid played by Cooper Friedman who is picked on in school and deals with insecurity in extreme ways. They form a classic odd couple. That leads to plenty of funny moments such as when Lee flicks Friedman in the ear for trying to say the N word and then flicks him a couple more times because he thinks Friedman still wants to say it. Lee wrote a very good script and he and the kid have some real chemistry and play off each other. It’s definitely worth seeing.

Each family member has to face their demons
The War is a coming of age story set in 1970s Mississippi. I had to keep reminding myself that this was fiction instead of reality because it’s an imagined South where poor whites and blacks live together as friends. The movie focuses upon the lives of the siblings Elijah Wood and Lexi Randall with stories thrown in by their father Kevin Costner. Each one has a burden to bear such as Costner’s experiences fighting in Vietnam and Wood’s dealing with a group of kids that bully him at every chance they get. Each has to face this problem. There are several moments of total mayhem when Wood and Randall face off against the bullies which might be my favorite part. I have to say I didn’t like the ending which most will probably gush over. It just got too overly melodramatic for me. Still, it’s a good film about growing up.

Remake of Japanese 47 Ronin story that really doesn't add much
The Last Knights was derived from the famous 47 Ronin story from Japan where a lord was wrongfully ordered to commit suicide and 47 of his men decided to get revenge by slowly but surely plotting against the man responsible. They took that story and transported it to a medieval time period. Lord Bartok (Morgan Freeman) is an honorable noble who refuses to pay a corrupt minister and then condemns the entire kingdom for its abuses. He is executed, his clan is disbanded and all his riches confiscated. That leads his lieutenant Raiden (Clive Owen) to seek revenge with his knights just like in the 47 Ronin.<br /><br />When you’re dealing with a classic story it’s really hard to add anything to it that’s worthwhile and that’s the case with Last Knights. Even the end scene is in the snow like the original Japanese tale. That doesn’t make it bad, and I’m not sure how many people in the West even know about the 47 Ronin so this might be totally new. That doesn’t make this a bad film, it’s just nothing special.<br />C

Is it trying to say that even war criminals have a heart?
An Ordinary Man is a very strange movie. Ben Kingsley is a war criminal on the run. He is very proud of his crimes but wants to find some humanity as he feels isolated and alone. What’s weird is that it creates sympathy for this man who acknowledges that he carried out massacres. Is the film trying to say that everyone’s got a soul even ones that kill hundreds of people? I didn’t get where the story was going. On the other hand Kingsley had his usual strong performance.

Anthony Hopkins is an eccentric old man who wants to go fast
Anthony Hopkins is an old man with a dream. He wants to break the motorcycle speed record. I like the start because Hopkins plays his part as a total eccentric. He makes all his neighbors mad with his work on his bike and next thing you know he challenges a biker gang to a race. Things keep on that path when Hopkins goes to America for more fun. The supporting characters stand out as well from a transvestite played by Chris Williams he runs into in Los Angeles to Paul Rodriguez who plays a used car salesman. It’s like one big adventure story. It makes you want to see who Hopkins will run into next and what will happen to him. Most importantly when he goes for the speed trial it will put you on the edge of your seat.

What's it mean to be a thinking and sentient being in the world?
Colin Farrell’s family robot played by Justin Min breaks down. Farrell discovers that Min had a whole life before he joined the family. It deals with an old question in science fiction about whether robots can have emotions. It gives it a little twist however. For instance, Farrell asks if Yim ever loved anyone and he’s told that’s so human to think that everything wants to be like people. Instead the movie asks the question what is it like to be a thinking and sentient being in the world? Farrel is joined by an adorable daughter Tjandrawidjaja Mika who is very shaken up by the passing of Yim. At first I wasn’t sure where the story was going but once it settled in it all started making sense and events fell into place.

Hollywood just couldn't stick to McQueen being a bounty hunter
The Hunter was Steve McQueen’s last film. It’s an example of Hollywood getting a good idea and ruining it. McQueen plays a bounty hunter who travels around the United States attempting to bring in people who have jumped their bail. That’s the good part. He gets beat up by a giant. Chases after a crazy guy who likes explosives. It also leads to the action sequences like McQueen hanging off the side of a Chicago subway train. They couldn’t just stick with his adventures however. Instead they throw in a crazed Tracey Walter who is stalking him and wants to kill him. What is the point of this side story?

A modern blaxploitation flick
Dead Presidents was a modern interpretation of the blaxploitation genre by the Hughes Brothers.<br /><br />It takes place in 1970s New York where Larenz Tate is Anthony Curtis, a graduating senior who doesn't know what he wants to do with his life other than try to get with his girlfriend Rose Jackson as Juanita. He ends up joining the Marines with his friend Chris Tucker as Skip and going to Vietnam. There he sees the horrors of war. When he returns home he finds he has a baby with Juanita and his life is a struggle. He, Skip, his friend Freddy Rodrigues as Jose, Juanita’s sister N’Bushe Wright as Delilah who is in the black power movement, and his mentor Keith David as Kirby decide to carry out a robbery.<br /><br />Here you have all the elements of 60s and 70s black cinema. Anthony and his girlfriend Juanita in school is like Cooley High. You have drugs, pimps, and the black power movement which were mainstays of plenty of films like Superfly or The Mack. Then you have life of crime which was featured in flicks like Black Caesar. The movie also had an excellent soundtrack full of Soul and Funk tunes from the period. They really helped set the mood in each scene. The Hughes Brothers had their own modern take on all of these issues as well. The emphasis upon New York after Anthony returns from the war for instance, shows the decline of urban America which started in the 1970s. Serious drugs like heroin hit the black community, and there was mass unemployment.<br /><br />My only complaint was that the Vietnam sequence was a little over the top. Otherwise this was a great movie about black America in the 1970s mixed in with a heist film.<br />C

Great family fun just like the first film
It was inevitable that there would be a Kung Fu Panda 2. Dreamworks did a fantastic job as the sequel was just as good as the original.<br /><br />The story focuses upon Lord Shen a peacock who both sought to conquer all of China, but also was told of a prophecy that a warrior would emerge and defeat him. Of course, that would be Po, the Kung Fu Panda.<br /><br />All of Po’s warrior friends and teacher return. There’s Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), Tigris (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jacie Chan), Viper (Lucy Liu), Mantis (Seth Rogen), and Crane (David Cross). They join Po in his battle with Lord Shen.<br /><br />All the elements that made the first film a hit are back as well. There’s the martial arts action, there’s a good villain, there’s the comedy, etc.<br /><br />Po is still developing as a character as well. He’s still immature inside, and hasn’t fully mastered his fighting skills. The movie also touches upon his history, which he was ignorant of being an orphan raised by a goose Mr. Ping (James Hong).<br /><br />All together this makes this a great family film.<br />C

Shaped a whole generations view of life in high school during 80s
What Animal House did for college life Fast Times at Ridgemont High did for high school meaning people watched both and wanted to emulate what they saw. I can remember when Fast Times came out people were talking like Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) the entire summer. The film follows several high school students. Spicoli is the pot head. Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is the young virgin. Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates) is the senior who thinks she knows everything including about sex. Mark Ratner (Brian Backer) is the average kid who gets ignored in the crowd. Brad Hamilton (Judge Reinhold) is the senior who thinks he has everything figured out. Finally, Mike Damone (Robert Romanus) scalps concert tickets. Each one is trying to find their place in the high school setting.<br /><br />Like most high school students the main topic of discussion amongst the characters is sex. Stacy for instance thinks that sex is all relationships are about. Her friend Linda gives her nothing but bad advice on the matter leading to a number of bad decisions. Like many teens Linda exaggerates how much she knows and her own experiences.<br /><br />The other part of the movie focuses upon the day to day lives of teenagers. Going to class obviously is one thing and there are a series of hilarious scenes with Spicoli and his History teacher Mr. Hand (Ray Walston). Working crummy service jobs like fast food restaurants.<br /><br />Like Animal House, Fast Times captured the imaginations of thousands of young people when it came out and it's still a fun watch today.<br />C

Girl of his dreams what he thinks she is or just a construction of his obsession?
Paper Towns is like a coming of age story about obsession. Part of the plot is very familiar with Cara Delevingne being the bad girl/rebel and Nat Wolff being the straight/square guy who is in love with her. The difference is Delevinge comes in and out of Wolff’s life. In the end Wolff needs to figure out whether Delevingne is the girl he thinks she is or whether she’s just a construct he made. It’s an interesting take on the genre especially because the two main character are barely together in the film. Other parts of the movie are far more routine.

Jokes are few and far between in this forgettable movie
I saw this when it came out in a movie theater and didn’t think it was funny. Melissa Tomei winning an Oscar for her performance therefore was mind blowing. I decided to watch it again to see if my original impression was wrong. The movie is a legal comedy-drama about a fast talking New York lawyer named Vinny played by Joe Pesci attempting to get his cousin Bill played by Ralph Macchio out of trouble in Alabama. It’s supposed to pit the big cities against the small towns of middle America.<br /><br />First off the movie turns out to be more of a drama than a comedy. The jokes are few and far between and the comedy scenes are not funny.<br /><br />Second, Tomei plays a strong, assertive and intelligence woman as Mona, Vinny’s girlfriend. She turns out to be the real brains of the duo. It’s a strong part and not what you would expect from such a film. The problem is My Cousin Vinny is completely forgettable so I still don’t understand how she won an Academy Award for it.

Focuses too much on relationships which distracts from the murders
The Girl In Black Stockings features a series of murders in a small town. Oddly the movie focuses upon a series of relationship between men and women, some good and some bad instead. I know this is supposed to be setting up the characters and suspects but it completely fails and draws away from the plot as a result. It’s not until the very end that things get back on track and by then it’s too late. That being said I did like who the killer turned out to be and their motivation.

Caan is great even though the storyline is very familiar
Thief was a Michael Mann directed heist film featuring James Caan. It played upon the old plot of a thief who thought he could do one more big job and get out of a life of crime. 1st off Caan has a real way with playing tough guys. He’s very believable. More importantly was Mann and company able to do something new with this familiar theme? Yes they were. The one main problem is that Mann tended to stick to a scene a tad too long. On top of that there’s the loud 80s Rock guitar playing in almost all of these takes which was an annoying trend during the decade. Other than that this is a very good crime story.

American John Le Carre spy story
The Good Shepherd plays out like a John Le Carre spy thriller. That means the story is very nuanced and the plot is very slow moving. It features Matt Damon in two story lines. The first, how he became a spy on the eve of World War II and then when he was a CIA officer and had to investigate the failure of the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. Included in that is a human side as Damon’s job takes a toll on his wife Angelina Jolie and their son. That points to the transformation his character went through which is shown in the two plot lines. It also highlights the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) establishment from Yale to the Skull and Cross Bones that dominated American society and politics at the time. For instance, when Damon is recruited into the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) which would become the CIA by Robert De Niro he says that the government is looking for “the right people meaning no Jews, no Negros and very few Catholics.”<br /><br />Michael Gambon really stands out as a man who stuck by his convictions and knew what a dirty game espionage was.<br /><br />The Le Carre feel is shown in reoccurring scenes like Damon and analysts going over the minute details of a picture and recording they received. It shows spy tradecraft but it is extremely slow going. Damon also has his KGB rival just like in a Le Carre novel such as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.<br /><br />The movie takes patience but it’s worthwhile.

1st half is horrible with comedy mixed in 2nd half is what you come to see
Dr. Frankenstein is met by another scientist who says he wants to create “gods and monsters.” That’s the start of this classic sequel.<br /><br />You can see the influence of the Bible in the plot. God first created Adam, which was the monster, and then Eve, which was the Bride. The two scientists of course think of themselves as God.<br /><br />Not all of the movie works however. They decided to add some comedy which seemed so out of place in such a story. That actually ruins much of the first half.<br /><br />The second part focuses mostly upon the monster as a misunderstood being. It’s much more interesting and saves the movie. The monster’s interactions with his Bride is something to see.

Black power politics, crime and sticking it to the man
Black Gunn was a Blaxploitation flick featuring Jim Brown. It mixes several popular themes of the genre: politics, crime and sticking it to the man. Brown’s brother is trying to set up a black revolutionary group and robs some white mobsters for funding. The movie has a surprisingly good cast with Martin Landau as a mobster, Luciana Paluzzi and Bruce Glover who were both in James Bond films, and Bernie Casey. Famed pitcher Vida Blue even makes an appearance. Of course Brown gets to sleep with his pretty girlfriend, gets into chases, tells off the cops and there’s a big shoot out ending. Not bad. This movie obviously had some money behind it which allowed for it to do more things and hire the great cast.

Female pirates trapped on a plantation where nothing really happens
Muthers was a blaxploitation film made in the Philippines by Dimension Pictures. During the 1960s-70s several low budget American companies started productions in the Philippines because of the cheap costs. It stars Jeannie Bell, Rosanne Katon, Trina Parks and Jayne Kennedy. It was produced and directed by Cirio Santiago who did a number of these films during this period.<br /><br />The story revolves around Jeannie Bell’s sister disappearing. It turns out she’s been captured by a gang which the local authorities want the women to investigate. The gang has a large estate that they run like a slave plantation so the story is a variation of the women in prison genre.<br /><br />The movie starts off okay with Bell leading her group of pirates but when they go to the plantation nothing really happens until a predictable end. It’s like the plot never got developed.<br />C

Mitchum is totally menacing but the 2nd half of story isn't very interesting
Robert Mitchum plays a completely menacing character in The Night of the Hunter. He’s a preacher who murders and steals. He has “love” and “hate” tattooed on his knuckles which he uses to tell a story of good versus evil which Spike Lee borrowed for Do The Right Thing. He manipulates and threatens two little kids and their mother Shelley Winters in order to try to find some stolen money. After that great start however the rest of the movie turns into an extended chase which isn’t half as interesting. It’s very disappointing.

The 5th Amendment protect you from being tried twice for the same crime. That became the basis for this film where Ashley Judd was framed by her husband Bruce Greenwood for his murder.

There’s nothing spectacular about the film because you know how it will end. Judd does play a very strong and determined woman and Jones is always fun to watch.

Overblown and overacted
The Caller was written like a play. It features Madolyn Smith and Malcolm McDowell verbally sparring with each other. It’s overly dramatic and sometimes over acted as well. It also leads to a number of unrealistic moments like when Smith finds McDowell sitting in her living room uninvited and just talks to him like it’s nothing. There’s even a big twist that comes completely out of left field at the end but by then I didn’t care anymore because the movie had gotten so overblown.

An unlikely friendship as two men cross racist America
The Green Book starts with Frank Vallelonga played by Viggo Mortensen losing his job at the Copacabana night club in New York City as it closed for two months of renovation. With a wife and two kids he struggles to find a temporary job stooping to pawning his watch and taking on a friend for $50 in a hot dog eating contest. He’s eventually contacted to be the driver for the pianist Dr Don Shirley played by Mahershala Ali.<br /><br />Their relationship is set the first time the two meet each other. Shirley lives above Carnegie Hall, sits on a throne like chair, and talks very proper while Vallelonga explains his skills in his working class drawl. The unlikely couple set off on a tour that starts in the north, and eventually enters the south. Shirley tries to maintain a hierarchy of him as the wealthy boss and Vallelonga as his lower class help, but that eventually breaks down. The friendship that develops between the them is the heart of the movie as the two grow closer as the film progresses. There are many great moments as this happens such as when Vallelonga gets Shirley to eat fried chicken for the first time or gets him to listen to Little Richard in the car or when Shirley dictates love letters for Vallelonga to write to his wife back in New York. Vallelonga is also won over by Shirley’s piano virtuoso.<br /><br />There’s also the issue of race as Shirley plays at all white establishments and then enters Dixie on his tour. He’s often forced to stay in all black hotels due to segregation, which Vallelonga is shocked to discover. They also run into the police, Shirley is beaten and humiliated several times, and is refused service at segregated establishments. Vallelonga gets an education in race relations and becomes Shirley’s protector from racist whites.<br /><br />Overall this is a great buddy movie. The two characters grow together, and there are laughs throughout the entire film as well as touching scenes.

A melancholy tale of a famed artist
This is another one of those movies that used to be on TV all the time when I was a kid that I haven’t seen since. I didn’t realize it was a John Huston movie until now. It focuses upon artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.<br /><br />The start of the movie tries to capture Paris in 1890 which inspired Lautrec specifically the night clubs with dancing and singing women with all the action, colors and sex appeal.<br /><br />It’s easy to see that Lautrec’s disability and the discrimination he faced because of it led him to align with the outcasts of society like dance hall girls, prostitutes, etc. He tells his mother that in one scene. Mixed in with that is Lautrec’s desire for love and his biting wit and insecurity which often got in his way. It makes him a tragic figure and someone you have sympathy for. It’s really very melancholy.

Fantastic satire of the Soviet totalitarian system
The Death of Stalin is a satire of the Soviet system. It plays upon the fear of the totalitarian system with Stalin at the pinnacle of power. For instance a radio director is asked by Stalin for a copy of a concert but it wasn’t recorded so the director tells all the musicians and audience to re-do the entire event while telling them not to worry no one will be killed as a result. Another time it takes a committee to decide to call a doctor but that causes further problems because all the good doctors in Moscow have been killed as a threat to the state so they have to vote again whether to call a bad doctor or not. It takes a committee to do this because everyone was afraid to make a decision without Stalin. That raises the dilemma of the story which is how will the system perpetuate itself after Stalin’s death?<br /><br />There is some really good writing involved. It reminds me a bit of a Monty Python skit. The ensemble cast is great as well. Some are yes men one moment and schemers the next. Others are blowhards while others are snivelers. The standouts are Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev one of the main schemers, Simon Russell as NKVD chief Lavrenti Beria who wants to kill everyone, Jason Isaacs as General Georgy Zhukov who is the tough guy soldier and Jeffrey Tambor as Georgy Malenkov who is completely clueless.

Having fun with a struggling pro football team in the 1920s
Leatherheads is about a professional football team led by George Clooney in the 1920s which is struggling to survive. The sorry state of the team is shown when they have their uniforms hanging out the windows of the train they’re riding in because they have no facilities to wash them in. Of course this is also the source of the jokes such as when they get a new player who is a giant of a teenager and Clooney tells him to block for him by hitting any man that comes close. The kid starts punching guys left and right including the ref. Added to that is the interactions between Clooney and journalist Renee Zellweger where they lay down a series of fast talking sarcastic remarks about each other. There’s a serious period in the middle which is supposed to be symbolic of the professionalization of football but it seems unnecessary. It’s better when they’re having fun.

Great thriller led by Cruise and Foxx's acting
Tom Cruise plays a hitman who arrives in Los Angeles and receives his job from a cameo by Jason Statham. It turns out he is to eliminate a number of people that threaten a Mexican drug gang. He’s only shown for a brief period however as the opening as the film is mostly about Jamie Foxx who plays an aspiring taxi cab driver who picks up Jada Pinkett Smith who is a lawyer. Despite coming from different worlds the two hit it off and Smith gives Foxx her number.<br /><br />At first it’s two disconnected stories, but they quickly come together when Foxx picks up Cruise in what turns out to be one very, very long night. Foxx gets caught up in Cruise’s murders and eventually he turns to eliminate Smith, which was why she was in the opening. There’s even one points where Foxx has to play Cruise’s character to the mafia that hired him because he lost his hit list and Cruise doesn’t want to reveal himself to his employees. Foxx pulls off the tough hit man persona even though he looks like just a regular guy with glasses and a zip up sweat shirt.<br /><br />The movie was a Michael Man production. Most of it was filmed with a high definition video and you can immediately tell that from the start as there is definitely a different quality to the shots.<br /><br />The action is good as Cruise does his hits and later goes after Foxx and Smith. There’s also building tension as the movie progresses. For example, Foxx and Cruise are pulled over the police because he has a broken window and they almost take away his taxi which has a dead body in the trunk. More importantly the relationship between Cruise and Foxx as they talk to each other in the cab for most of the film is engaging and carries much of the story. At first, Foxx is terrified of Cruise as he finds out that he’s a hit man. Then Cruise takes a liking to Foxx and they have actual conversations. He even encourages Foxx to see his sick mom in the hospital.<br /><br />Overall the movie is a really good thriller with some great acting by Foxx and Cruise.

Barley a plot but it's still entertaining
This movie barely has a story. It’s about Cliff Lok who goes from master to master looking for someone to teach him. In between he gets beat up a bunch. Despite that this is an entertaining film. There’s the usual training sessions but there’s also some random comedy like when Lok has his lunch stolen by a monkey. The fight scenes are also well done.

Major issues mixed with strong characters make Cider House Rules
I wasn’t so sure about this movie at first but it quickly drew me in with its powerful story and characters. It’s about how a person can’t escape their first calling in life. That centers around Tobey Maguire who goes through a coming of age tale from an orphanage to a farm. He learns about medicine and apple farming. He has a father figure in Michael Caine and meets a woman in Charlize Theron. He works with African American migrant workers led by Delroy Lindo. Most importantly he’s faced with major dilemmas and moral choices in life. That mix of big issues along with engaging roles was what made Cider House Rules so enjoyable to watch.

Lackluster plot
Infinites are people that are constantly reborn and keep all their previous memories. Chiwetel Ejiofor is tired of reincarnation however and wants to destroy all of existence. Mark Wahlberg has to stop him. The problem is the plot is lackluster. Ejiofor however has a real psychotic trait about him which draws your attention. Jason Mantzoukas is a great mad scientist. There are some new action sequences as well such as a car chase inside a police station and a drone attack. They just don’t add up to a fulfilling experience.

Might be Scorsese's best film
Goodfellas might be my favorite Martin Scorsese film. It’s based upon a book by Nicholas Pileggi called Wiseguy who co-authored the film with Scorsese. It stars Ray Liotta as Henry Hill, Lorraine Bracco as his wife Karen, Robert De Niro as Jimmy Conway, and Joe Pesci as Tommy DeVito. The story covers the rise and fall of Henry in the New York city mafia.<br /><br />The movie is broken up into two parts. The first is Hill’s rise in the mafia. He and his friends could do no wrong and if they ever got caught they paid off the authorities or had it easy in prison. This is your usual gangster tale of working class people finding riches and power through crime. The first half of the movie definitely glamorizes the mob.<br /><br />The second half of the movie is another story. There Scorsese shows that mobster life is not all that it’s cut up to be. It emphasizes that although the mafia always talks about family if anyone screws up they would be killed in the drop of a hat. For example, Jimmy kills almost every involved in a big robbery he pulled off just because he didn’t want anyone to talk about it or worse rat him out. Tommy excels at the reckless behavior of people who feel empowered beating and shooting people left and right. The problem was that even the bad side of the mafia got romanticized. The murders for example showed what power the mobsters had. They killed people and nothing ever happened to them.<br /><br />Scorsese also creates one memorable scene after another. One of the best is towards the end when Hill is strung out on drugs and thinks a helicopter is following him. It plays into his paranoia and his drug abuse just makes it worse. The did a great make-up job because he looks completely pale and he’s sweating all over the place. It’s also very funny.<br /><br />Goodfellas is one of the best mafia stories ever. It’s one of those plots that you can talk about forever. The acting was on point. It is and remains a classic.<br />C

Not your usual love story & Hank's kid actually steals the show
Sleepless In Seattle definitely has an unusual start for a romantic comedy. First Tom Hanks loses his wife and moves to Seattle to try to start over. Then Meg Ryan who is engaged hears Hanks on the radio talking about his loss. The twist is she lives in Baltimore. The gist is that the two are fated to be together.<br /><br />Hanks’ son Ross Malinger almost steals the show every scene he’s in. He’s like a mini-love guru. Bill Pullman as Ryan’s fiancé plays the perfect dud although he has a great line about his grandmother having fat fingers. There’s also some good writing because like the opening the entire movie is not your normal love story. I won’t say more because it would spoil things.

It's really a character study of Brittany's personality with some laughs thrown in
I was expecting this to be the usual comedy but it proved to be much more. It has some real depth to what the main character went through. It’s a character study and has laughs.<br /><br />Brittany (Jillian Bell) is going through a midlife crisis but she’s still in her 20s. She likes to party all the time but she’s got no money. Her doctor tells her she’s going to have long term health problems. She’s breaking down emotionally. She decides to take up jogging. It’s a story about change and empowerment and a lot more.<br /><br />The movie does a good job showing what a struggle Brittany initially goes through. There’s one scene where she says she’s just going run to the end of her block and it looks so daunting. It’s a great little bit of cinematography and symbolism.<br /><br />Another highlight is that it makes Brittany’s transformation a difficult one in other ways. She loses friends for instance. It shows that it wasn’t just a physical change she went through. It makes the story more than your usual out of shape person suddenly getting fit. It adds some real substance to the plot. It’s a real gem.

Lots of tension and drama at start but loses momentum at the end
Sexy Beast is the tale of a retired crook Gal Dove (Ray Winstone) who is enjoying a life after crime. He has a nice swimming pool. He goes hunting. He has a beautiful wife DeeDee (Amanda Redman). Everything seems fine when his old boss Don Logan (Ben Kingsley) calls him about doing another job. Gal knows this is a bad idea but Logan is a murderous sociopath and Gal knows what will happen if he says no. He even has a dream of a humanized rabbit threatening to gun him down with an UZI as foreshadowing. The story focuses upon Gal’s plight being drawn back into the world he thought he was done with.<br /><br />The movie is driven by the tension between Gal and Don. It seems like Don is going to kill him at any moment if Gal shows any waivering or second thoughts. Kingsley does a great job with the role. He’s truly menacing. Unfortunately the end is a real let down. It had so much potential at first.<br />C

Aimed at kids so dialogue gets cringe worthy at times but saves itself with moral ending
Ender’s Game is a family sci-fi film featuring pre-teen and teen age kids as many of the main characters. The Earth was invaded and barely escaped defeat. Afterward the government turned to kids as the future fighters. The story focuses upon Asa Butterfield as Ender Wiggin who his trainers Harrison Ford as Hyrum Graff and Viola Davis as Major Gwen Anderson have decided should be the next general. The movie includes the classic coming of age story arc but the writing is so bad at many moments that it’s hard for anyone not a kid to enjoy much of it.<br /><br />The beginning of the movie is a bit messed up. Graff and Anderson decided that the only way to prepare Wiggin for his coming responsibilities is to manipulate his life and cause him to get into fights and have others turn upon him. It also suffers from bad writing with some of the people picking on him making head shaking lines. It reinforces the fact that the movie is meant for kids. It ends up redeeming itself at the end by having a moral reckoning about the war.<br />C

They're so broke they have to make adult movies
Zack and Miri was written and directed by Kevin Smith of Clerks fame. It even features Jason Mewes who played Jay alongside Smith’s Silent Bob and Jeff Anderson from that film. The story centers around roommates Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) being so broke they decide to make a porn film to raise some money. The story centers around their relationship and becomes a romantic comedy.<br /><br />What makes the film at first is the ensemble cast. Gerry Bednob as Mr. Surya, Zack’s boss throws some great insults. Zack and Miri go to their high school reunion where Miri finds out the guy she was in love with Bobby Long (Brandon Routh) is gay and has a gay porn star boyfriend Brandon (Justin Long) who says some outrageous stuff.There are plenty more. Smith tried to go for a joke in almost every scene and it worked thanks to this range of characters.<br /><br />The second part of the film turns into a romantic comedy. That would seem unlikely that making an adult film could lead to romance but think of it as a charming twist.<br /><br />Overall this leads to a very funny and underrated movie.<br />C

Story of a man who went from a ex-con to a radio TV and comedic star in DC
Talk To Me was inspired by the real life story of Petey Greene played by Don Cheadle. He was a hustler and a felon who got a break and became Washington D.C.’s top radio personality. He built upon that reputation to become a stand up comic and a local access TV star. The movie is about Greene’s redemption from being a crook to a success story.<br /><br />The plot is based upon the relationship between Petey and the station manager Dewey Hughes played by Chiwetel Ejiofor. Hughes was the one that gave Petey a job at the radio station he managed. The two were a contrast in styles and personalities. Hughes grew up in a project and his brother was incarcerated but he wanted to be an executive, so he always dressed in a suit and talked like a white man. Petey and his whole family including his parents had been incarcerated. He was a fast talking, hustler, man of the streets, who was funny as hell. Hughes eventually saw his potential and put him on the air and his connection with the people of D.C. made him a hit. Hughes wanted to make him even bigger by putting him on TV, and the comedy circuit, but Petey would only go so far. There were things he wasn’t comfortable with and wouldn’t do because he didn’t feel like it was real.<br /><br />The movie is mostly light hearted with plenty of comedic moments and some serious ones as well. For instance, Petey is caught by his girlfriend Vernell played by Taraji P. Henson with another woman. She gets back at him by sleeping with one of the other DJs at the radio station. Petey punches the other DJ but he is a much bigger man and Petey realizes he’s bitten off more than he can chew and immediately tries to apologize. A more heartfelt moment is when Martin Luther King Jr dies and Petey takes over the airwaves to give the people’s hurt and anger a public voice while there was a riot out in the streets.<br /><br />Talk To Me is a really good biopic about a very interesting man.<br />C

It's got the music and the stories to give you the backstory to the musicians that created Motown
This is a documentary about the Motown Records house band The Funk Brothers. It has a mix of interviews, commentary, some old footage, and performance of Motown hits by contemporary artists like Chaka Khan, Gerald Levert, Meshell Ndegeocello, Bootsy Collins and others.<br /><br />It starts on a high note with a voice over saying the band was the greatest hit makers in America because they performed on so many classic tunes. Then one of the members felt like they were being left out of all the fame because the singers were getting all the credit and no one knew about them. That was one of the motivations for making the movie to praise these musicians and what they accomplished.<br /><br />It’s always great to hear Motown music. The stories are also interesting because they don’t just focus upon making the tunes. For instance, it was clear that working for Motown wasn’t always enough to pay the bills so they often went on tour with other musicians to make sure they could make a living. Not only that but Motown spied on its musicians trying to bust them for working for other companies. There’s a lot of great stuff included.

If you ignore the plot & racist Arab stereotypes the movie is enjoyable
If you ignore the plot and some racist stereotypes The Spy Who Loved Me is an enjoyable Bond film. If you pay attention to those than the movie is a mixed bag, and more importantly started a steady decline in the franchise.<br /><br />The story was the major problem with The Spy Who Loved Me. Shipping tycoon Karl Stromberg (Curd Jurgens) wanted to destroy the world so that he might start a new civilization of his own undersea. This was the second time a Bond movie went with a totally over the top plot, the first being On Her Majesty’s Secret Service when SPECTRE were going to use beautiful women to spread a biological agent to destroy the world’s food supply. This one was far worse.<br /><br />Second, Bond travels to Egypt to meet an old school friend. Bond dresses up like a Bedouin and rides into his friend’s camp on a camel, while his friend says the Arabs don’t just have oil. Finally, Bond’s friend convinces him to stay with an offer of a woman from his harem. This was a prime example of Orientalism where the West stereotypes the East. For one, Egypt is not a major oil producing country. Second, the camel, the dress, the harem are all mainstays of Western views of how exotic the Arab world is. Other Bond movies played on racial imagery like Gypsies in From Russia With Love or Asians in You Only Live Twice so it should’ve been no surprise it happened again.<br /><br />If you get over those the rest of the movie is fun. First, the theme song Nobody Does It Better by Cary Simon was very catchy. Second, the main Bond girl Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach) was a KGB agent and the equal to Bond in more ways than one such as when she’s introduced sleeping with a man. They also play with her secret name which is Triple X which of course comes from X-rated movies. It was nice to see a Bond girl who wasn’t just a play thing. The other Bond girl was Naomi played by Caroline Munro who’d mostly been in B-movies in the 1970s made by Hammer Films. Third, this was the first movie with Jaws (Richard Kiel), a 7’2” assassin with metal teeth he used to kill people. He dominated every scene he was in. Last, The Spy Who Loved Me had one of the great gadgets of all Bond films which was a Lotus sports car that turned into a submarine.<br /><br />So there you have it. There’s plenty of good as well as bad with The Spy Who Loved Me. Unfortunately, this would be one of the last passable Bond film featuring Roger Moore as things only got worse afterward.<br />C

It's a propaganda film and not a very good one at that
Hollywood made a ton of war movies very few of which are any good. Most had two major faults. One was that they were melodramas about a soldiers and their girlfriend before he has to go off to combat. The other was that they were full of propaganda about the American fighting man. This fell into the latter category. It was based upon a book written by a journalist who was with the Marines. When they land on a beach and run into the Japanese it’s called a “deceitful” attack. When the unit is wiped out it’s called a “massacre.” There’s plenty of talk about how the Japanese are inferior. Sometimes the combat saves these films but that doesn’t happen here either.

A Farrell-Reilly-McKay classic featuring one of their fav themes The Man Child
Step Brothers was part of a run of classic comedies featuring Will Ferrell with director Adam McKay. Ferrell, McKay and the other co-star John C. Reilly wrote the film, and it had co-production by Judd Apatow. Ferrell and Reilly had already created a great working relationship from Talladega Nights released two years before. Like many other Ferrell movies this one is about older men who mentally have not progressed passed high school.<br /><br />The movie focused upon Brennan Huff (Ferrell) and Dale Doback (Reilly) becoming step brothers when their parents Nancy Huff (Mary Steenburgen) and Robert Doback (Richard Jenkins) get married. At first, they truly hate each other. Then they bond over the fact that they both hate Brennan’s brother Dereck (Adam Scott). Afterward they get to play out their manchild fantasies together. Probably the two best scenes are when Brennan and Dale give a presentation on their entertaining company Prestige Worldwide featuring their song Boats and Hoes and then at the Catalina Wine Mixer Brennan sings the opera tune Por Ti Volare while Dale plays drums. Of course the conclusion when they show up at an elementary school is something to behold. At the end they learn that they can be adults while still keeping their inner child.<br /><br />Again this was one of Ferrell’s top movies. There was no stop in the gags and jokes.<br />C

A Heavy Metal classic
Judas Priest was one of the first bands from the new wave of British Heavy Metal to break through and it was thanks to British Steel. That came out in 1980 2 years before Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast. There were two anthems on the LP, Breaking The Law and Living After Midnight. As usual with this documentary series they interview the band members and the producer and go through the tracks, how they recorded them along with some history on the group. It was thoroughly enjoyable.

Cost of undercover life and the cut throat life in the mafia
Donnie Brosco is based upon a true story of an FBI agent that infiltrated a mafia family in New York City during the 1970s. It stars Johnny Depp as Brosco, Al Pacino as Lefty who brought Brosco into the family, and Michael Madsen as Sonny the head of the family. The movie is about the cost of undercover work.<br /><br />Most of the movie is about the relationship between Brosco and Lefty. Lefty befriends him, brings him into the family, and acts as his mentor and protector. The two form a real bond, which will cause problems for Brosco later on because he’s a cop and his job is to get everyone he knows in the family arrested.<br /><br />Undercover work causes other problems for Brosco as well. He can never see his family which causes great problems with his wife and little kids. There are many times when he feels like he will be found out and get killed by the family. It’s a very stressful experience.<br /><br />Another part of the film is about the mafia lifestyle. Family members, made men, the fear that members have of getting whacked, cutting up bodies, etc. are all touched on. Many of these types of films have been accused of glorifying the mafia lifestyle. This movie definitely doesn’t do that.

Trainwreck of a film full of holes Writer should've been fired
A Russian gangster wants revenge for the death of his brother and hires Bruce Willis to assassinate the director of the FBI. The film is loosely based upon the 1970s Day of the Jackal film. At the start there are a few scenes which are directly taken from that original. Then it makes some bad choices like Richard Gere with a horrible Irish accent and Jack Black as a gun maker. After that things go downhill quickly and even venture into the absurd. You have to suspend your belief to keep watching it’s so bad at points. For instance, Gere plays an Irish terrorist the FBI lets out of prison to help them find Willis. So what do they do? They let him wander around FBI offices unsupervised where there are guns around. Not to mention Gere’s character has no nothing that would make the FBI take him along. Another time they get breaking information and don’t call to warn people. The writer really should have been fired.

Dark comedy about family and class that has to be seen to be appreciated
Parasite is a dark comedy by Bong Joon-ho. I’d seen an earlier movie by him called the Host which was a great take on the monster genre so I expected something good from Parasite.<br /><br />The movie is about a down and out family that lives in a dank basement apartment. None of them have real jobs until the son Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) gets a visit from a friend. He gives Ki-woo a stone sculpture that is supposed to bring family success. The son says it’s very metaphorical. On top of that his friend tells him about a job to teach the daughter of a rich family English. This comes out of nowhere and opens up all kinds of opportunities Ki-woo’s family could never even think of before. In taking advantage of the situation however they become like parasites, hence the title of the film.<br /><br />At face value this is a movie about family. Ki-woo’s goes from nothing to having something. That brings up the larger issue which is class. Ki-woo’s family is poor and struggling. People go the bathroom right outside their front window almost every night because they can’t even tell anyone lives there. Ki-woo goes to work for a family that has everything. The differences couldn’t be made more stark and Ki-woo’s family even talks about how the other half lives. The father of the rich family talks about how poor people have a smell to them which is offensive. There’s also the ways the two families live. Ki-woo’s is always together, while the rich family is almost always apart even when they are in the same house together. Really this film has to be seen to be fully understood and appreciated and I recommend everyone go see it.

An unlikely friendship as two men cross racist America
The Green Book starts with Frank Vallelonga played by Viggo Mortensen losing his job at the Copacabana night club in New York City as it closed for two months of renovation. With a wife and two kids he struggles to find a temporary job stooping to pawning his watch and taking on a friend for $50 in a hot dog eating contest. He’s eventually contacted to be the driver for the pianist Dr Don Shirley played by Mahershala Ali.<br /><br />Their relationship is set the first time the two meet each other. Shirley lives above Carnegie Hall, sits on a throne like chair, and talks very proper while Vallelonga explains his skills in his working class drawl. The unlikely couple set off on a tour that starts in the north, and eventually enters the south. Shirley tries to maintain a hierarchy of him as the wealthy boss and Vallelonga as his lower class help, but that eventually breaks down. The friendship that develops between the them is the heart of the movie as the two grow closer as the film progresses. There are many great moments as this happens such as when Vallelonga gets Shirley to eat fried chicken for the first time or gets him to listen to Little Richard in the car or when Shirley dictates love letters for Vallelonga to write to his wife back in New York. Vallelonga is also won over by Shirley’s piano virtuoso.<br /><br />There’s also the issue of race as Shirley plays at all white establishments and then enters Dixie on his tour. He’s often forced to stay in all black hotels due to segregation, which Vallelonga is shocked to discover. They also run into the police, Shirley is beaten and humiliated several times, and is refused service at segregated establishments. Vallelonga gets an education in race relations and becomes Shirley’s protector from racist whites.<br /><br />Overall this is a great buddy movie. The two characters grow together, and there are laughs throughout the entire film as well as touching scenes.

Confronted with racism, danger as well as unexpected humanity and humor—they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime..

What would you do to protect your child?
The lie is based upon the premise that parents will do just about anything to protect their kids. Kayla (Joey King) pushes her friend off of a bridge. Her parents Jay (Peter Sarsgaard) and mother Rebecca (Mireille Enos) then try to cover it and then more to make sure Kayla is safe. The tension comes from the fact that things quickly escalate and the parents feel like they have to take extreme measures that spin out of control.<br /><br />Many people will instantly relate to the parent’s dilemma. At the same time the story tries to complicate things by the fact that their daughter seems kind of like a jerk. She starts acting like she didn’t do anything and it’s not important anyway. Is this someone you would want to protect? There’s the added element that the parents get really crazy with what they’re willing to do. You start asking when is enough, enough?<br /><br />My biggest issue was I almost immediately did not like the daughter. That meant I didn’t really care whether she got caught or not and thought the parents were going overboard because even they noticed how unthoughtful she could be.<br /><br />Still it’s interesting and there’s a twist at the end as well.<br />C

Chan quit in the middle of production & the story is a total mess
Fearless Hyena 2 is a train wreck of a film. The main issue was that star Jackie Chan left the production in the middle of the movie. Therefore by the end there’s a guy pretending to be Chan. He tries to hide his features by wearing a disguise with a fake mustache and beard. Not only that but the story is like two parts unsuccessfully mashed together. It starts with the evil Heaven and Earth Devils attempting to kill rival martial artists. One man escapes and later his son is Jackie Chan who does his usual comedic martial arts routines. Then Heaven and Earth Devils return which is more serious. Needless to say this film should be avoided.

70s Japanese tobot fun!
When I was in elementary school one of my friends gave me a Kikaida plastic figure. I didn’t know the show but I thought he looked real cool. Kikaida was a 70s Japanese kids show which also got played in Hawaii. The stories are very thin. Usually a new robot is created by the evil DARK and Kikaida has to destroy it. The show has some wild elements. For instance, Kikaida appears as Jiro the Guitarist at first strumming his instrument before attacking the DARK forces. He eventually turns into the robot Kikaida. The bad guys are completely ridiculous. One is Pink Armadillo which is a big pink ball with a tentacle and a drill who takes female form and seduces men to turn them into DARK slaves. It’s great stuff that should not be taken seriously.

Has fun making fun of spy genre
Agents Sterling (Will Smith) was the top secret agent in the world when his arch enemy Killian (Ben Mendelsohn) frames him for a crime. The only person Sterling can turn to is Walter (Tom Holland) who is an oddball inventor who got fired from Sterling’s agency. As a sign of how off Walter is he turns Sterling into a pigeon. Together they have to stop Killian.<br /><br />The jokes obviously come from the interaction between Sterling and Killian. Sterling is a man of action while Killian is a nerd who likes to talk too much. Being a bird also offers more jokes like when other birds like Sterling and when he has to eat. The story also plays with the spy genre. Killian for instance makes gadgets but believes in non-violent methods so he creates a device that shoots glitter into the air to disorientate people. Another time he throws breadcrumbs at Killian so he gets swarmed by birds. There’s also your usual chases and action sequences as well. It all makes for a fun comedy.

Great nod to the Film Noirs of the past
William Hurt meets Kathleen Turner who plays with his emotions as a classic Femme Fatale. She temps and teases him which is all a set up to manipulate him in this neo-Film Noir. Hurt plays another common Noir trope the doomed man. He doesn’t know it but Turner is going to do him wrong. Added to the sexual tension between them is the heat which is constant. Everyone in this movie is sweating all the time as if they hadn’t invented air conditioning yet. Finally you wanted to see how it all ended. It’s a great ode to the Film Noir’s of the past.

Endearing story of 2 friends facing a difficult situation Also introduced OCD before term existed
The Odd Couple is a 1960s classic featuring Jack Lemmon as Felix Unger and Walter Matthau as Oscar Madison. Felix’s wife just left him, he contemplated suicide and then his friend Oscar asks him to move in with him because he’s divorced as well. Felix introduced the viewing audience to obsessive compulsive disorder before that term existed.<br /><br />The movie is more of a drama about the two men dealing with being single rather than a comedy. The two have a dinner date at their apartment for instance and all Felix can talk about is his wife and kids. Of course there are some funny one liners thrown in there. Felix for example shows up at Oscar’s house for poker right after he tried to kill himself. He said he took some pills. The poker players are all asking what kind of pill he took. Oscar responds he might have taken vitamins and he might be the healthiest guy in the room. Another time the weekly poker game ends after one players realizes that Felix cleaned the cards with disinfectant. The player says that’s not how poker is supposed to be played and then leaves.<br /><br />In the end it’s an endearing story of two friends in a difficult situation.<br />C

McDaniel plays a familiar role of the tough love coach but they have him cross the line several times as well. Of course that’s the set up so he can learn something.

A challenge to the conformist WASP culture of 1950s America
Dead Poets Society takes place within Welton Academy an elite, upper class WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) boarding school where tradition and being proper are the most important attributes. Into this mix comes John Keating (Robin Williams) the new English teacher who actually graduated from Welton. His students include Todd (Ethan Hawke), Neil (Robert Sean Leonard), Knox (Josh Charles), and others. Keating introduces them to the beauty of the word, poetry and literature using unconventional methods which endears him to his pupils but gets him in trouble with the administration. The theme is the conflict between discipline and routine vs free thought and individualism.<br /><br />The movie begins by laying down the culture at Welton with an opening ceremony and then how dry the faculty is compared to Keating. He takes them out of their class and into the hallway where he makes some self-deprecating jokes and then gives them a lesson about the need to live their lives the best they can and seize the day. Later he tells his class to rip out the introduction to their poetry textbook because the author wrote that you can judge poetry like a math problem. Keating is offended by the idea and wants it to be expunged from the book. Instead he tells the kids that words and language matter and ideas can change the world. They can actually set people free. Here is Keating’s style and the reason why his kids are drawn to him. He’s the exact opposite of the stuffy style of Welton. That will eventually lead to trouble because the school is an institution set upon maintaining its tradition and conformity to its rules. What happens in this conflict is the dilemma of the film.<br /><br />Dead Poets Society was one of those rare movies where Robin Williams was actually contained. Even when he was teaching he didn’t go as crazy as he usually did in his other films. The story has strong hints of books like Catcher in the Rye. It hints at the conflicts that arose in America in the 1950s with things like Rock N Roll, the Beats, and the Civil Rights movement which would lead to culture and society to crack in the 1960s. The movie isn’t for everyone because it is really WASPy but it’s a strong tale.

Unique and compelling
The Best Offer is a very unique and compelling film. Geoffrey Rush plays an unscrupulous yet famous art auctioneer in London who suddenly gets a call from a mysterious woman played by Sylvia Hoeks who refuses to be seen by anyone. He goes from being completely frustrated to being obsessed by her. It’s very unconventional and that provides the draw. Eventually you want to see her just as much as Rush. After that great build up there’s a huge twist at the end. I wasn’t so sure about it at first because it seemed so unbelievable and outrageous but then as it sunk in I came to appreciate it because it was actually based upon Rush’s character. Kudos to the filmmakers for putting this out.

MUST SEE film about the art of thievery
When Focus came out in 2015 it was hands down the best movie of the year. It’s an amazing tale with twists and turns and all kinds of unexpected events centering around Will Smith as Nicky and Margot Robbie as Jess. One is a con artist and the other is a thief. The movie is about the art of the con.<br /><br />The first thing you notice about the movie is how stylish it is. The lighting and wardrobe are all on point. The interactions between the characters are perfect and you really feel the connection between Nicky and Jess. The soundtrack is amazing. The things they came up with the two to hit from the Super Bowl to a car race have you waiting to see what will happen next. The movie has two scenes about the art of the scam that once you see them you will never forget.<br /><br />The movie has plenty of jokes as well. Nicky’s friend Farhad (Adrian Martinez) created a fake front for an ATM so he could swipe all the card data off the users. Jess asked what he did with all the money to which Nicky responded he created his own line of gravies.<br /><br />All together this is what makes Focus a MUST SEE.<br />C

Was bored throughout this entire film
This movie is uninspired unfunny garbage. There wasn’t anything humorous about it. Kate McKinnon just seemed like she was doing one skit from Saturday Night Live after another.

Trying to tag a superhero like player
If you like manchild characters than Tag is for you. It’s about Ed Helms, Jon Hamm, Jake Johnson, Hannibal Buress and Jeremy Renner who have been playing tag since they were in elementary school. Their goal is to tag Renner “it” something that has never happened. The best part is Renner’s character who acts like a superhero in his ability to avoid being hit. The ending is really fun.

Fighting evil with evil
The first thing that stands out about this series if the beautiful imagery. The start is a classic example of life and death, good vs evil with angels being devoured by monsters and then retaliation. The story is about fighting demons by becoming one of them which leads to the origins of Devilman. The story comes in two chapters and each is full of fighting, blood, cursing and evil which is its main draw. Things are topped off with a confrontation with the demon Sirene. I love the style and look of the film.

1 of a kind twisted tale of how the music industry uses and abuses people
Phantom of the Paradise is about the music industry in America. It tells the tale of how the business takes people and uses them and creates stars. The movie focuses upon a famous record producer Swan (Paul Williams) who steals the music of aspiring singer/musician Winslow Leach (William Finley). He seeks revenge by becoming The Phantom and haunting Swan’s new club The Paradise in this crazy Rock Opera.<br /><br />The movie has all kinds of great parts like how women are expected to have sex to get hired, how contracts are meant to confuse and steal from the artists, how people with no talent are selected to be stars because of their looks, the lure of fame and more.<br /><br />Finley as the crazed Phantom is amazing. He’s got a distorted voice and a great laugh and the outfit they put him in is spot on.<br /><br />It’s a truly one of a kind twisted tale.<br />C

Snoop concernt Not Cypress Hill
I thought this was a Cypress Hill concert but it’s not. Cypress wasn’t even the headliner Snoop Dogg was. It includes all the opening acts such as The Circle Jerks and Bone Thugs N Harmony. Everlast was included who opened with the worst version of Jump Around I’ve ever heard. In fact all his solo stuff is pretty bad. Then Cypress Hill came on and the video only included a few songs before Snoop came on stage. Thankfully he was really good playing a lot of his hits.

England's contribution to Reggae
Lover’s Rock was England’s contribution to Reggae music. In the 1970s and 80s a new generation of British-Jamaicans were growing up and created their own version of Reggae that brought back the soulful singing of the Rocksteady and early Reggae period, featured lyrics about dating, love, and romance with lots of melodies and harmonies added by the producers in comparison to the tunes coming out of Jamaica that were dominated by Rastafarian themes. The genre became the sound of black England.<br /><br />The producers had an interesting take on presenting the narrative. To go along with the usual concert footage and interviews with artists there are skits thrown in as well where actors talk about all kinds of issues from the heaters that were popular during the time to how to properly dance with a woman. Plus there’s commentary about the cultural impact of Lover’s Rock. As people mentioned there was a look that went along with the music, and more importantly it gave black youth an identity, something to call their own. That was so important during this period when racism was so prevalent. There are recollections about police harassment for example, and how radio stations refused to play Lover’s Rock because it was West Indian.<br /><br />Most importantly the music is great.<br />C

Lesson not learned US helped win Afghan War and then walked away and it blew back on it
Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) was a congressman from Texas who was known for partying and his love of women. One day a friend of his Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts) told him about the war in Afghanistan and he should get involved. That led to him championing aid to the Afghan mujahedeen which was funneled through the CIA in the last great battle of the Cold War. Wilson’s secret was that he knew how to manipulate government appropriations to get the CIA what it wanted to help the Afghans. That’s the gist of Charlie Wilson’s War.<br /><br />The irony and lesson of the film was that the U.S. became organized to fight the Communist Soviet hordes in Afghanistan, but when the war was over no one cared anymore. That allowed the Islamic fundamentalists to eventually take power in Afghanistan. This was a lesson not learned.<br />C

Intense thriller playing upon tensions between robbers and their hostages
This movie has to have one of the worst titles ever. It comes from a story one of the main characters gives but it’s still horrible. The film is about three thieves Matt Dillon, William Fichtner and Gary Sinise who hide out at a bar run by Faye Dunaway and M. Emmet Walsh after a botched robbery. The story focuses upon the tension between the criminals and their captives. Fichtner for example plays a violent psychopath who everyone is a bit scared of. He and Damon dominate the screen when they’re on. The writing keeps things taught and it had to because almost the entire movie takes place within the confines of a small bar. It’s a very good thriller and the ending is very unexpected.

Policeman who is used to being in control doesn't like new neighbors disturbing his sense of order
Lakeview Terrace is about a very strict, rigid and perturbed man named Abel (Samuel L. Jackson). When a new couple moves in next door made up of Chris (Patrick Wilson) and Lisa Turner (Kerry Washington) it disturbs him so much he decides to drive them out. The conflict between the two is what the plot of the film is about.<br /><br />Abel’s character is shown right at the start with the way he raises his two kids. He has put up very strong rules for them about how they talk, about how they dress, etc. That shows his life is about control. What’s more is that he is a Los Angeles police officer meaning he is used to being in power.<br /><br />The movie isn’t what it seems as first. For instance many might thing Abel’s issue is that Chris and Lisa are an interracial couple but it’s not. There are also some parts that are a little farfetched. In the end it’s still a worthwhile watch. Jackson of course provides a powerful performance as usual. He excels at playing the angry man.<br />C

Really orginal story about repeating every day of a battle vs an alien invasion
Edge of Tomorrow was a very inventive sci-fi action film featuring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. The Earth had been invaded by an alien horde called the Mimics. They were marching across the planet. The humans believed new armored suits they developed could be the answer to this dilemma. They plan to deploy them in a huge invasion of France. Cruise was a PR officer who refused an order to cover the battle from the front so he was demoted to a private and put into a combat unit. He takes part in the invasion, but is killed by a special mimic. He then wakes up when he first joins his unit. When he’s killed he restarts the day over and over again. It turns out Blunt went through the same experience, together. With the help of Noah Taylor who is a scientist they attempt to find a way to defeat the Mimics.<br /><br />Cruise and Blunt also do a good job with their characters. Cruise is completely confused at first, but then questions whether he can actually change the future and even attempts to give up at one point. Blunt on the other hand tries to be hard edged and doesn’t want to show any emotion because she’s already gone through what Cruise went through and it didn’t turn out good. They have good chemistry together.<br /><br />The repeating of the day is what’s special about this movie. You would think that going through the same events over and over would get tiring but it really works. There are small variations each time, and sometimes they’re used for comedic effect such as when Blunt is trying to train Cruise on the mechanical suits and he gets injured each time leading Blunt to shoot him so they can start again. The Mimics are also original, and the fight against them is exciting.<br />C

Story is kinda goofy and too much time in between action sequences
The actual title of this film is Armor of God. The movie is based upon the Indiana Jones films with Jackie Chan being a treasure hunter. A cult kidnaps Chan’s friend’s girlfriend to force Chan into acquiring the Armor of God for them. By this time Chan had perfected his acrobatic stunts and comedy which is what the movie features. It also has little gadgets like a mini-scooter that comes out of the rear of a car. The film is famous because it includes a scene where Chan jumped on a tree branch but it broke under his weight and his skull was cracked. The main problem with the film is that there is too much time in between action sequences and the story is a bit ridiculous. it also has a scene where Chan fights four black women, but if you look closely enough it’s all men in black face during the actual fighting.

Offbeat murder mystery contrasts interracial relationships with rise of fascism in Europe
I really liked this offbeat mystery about a pair of best friends who get caught in the middle of a murder. Christian Bale is a heavily wounded doctor and John Washington is a lawyer and his best friend. They forged their relationship during World War I. Washington’s former lover is Margot Robbie who tries to help them. Most of the movie is about Bale, Washington and Robbie trying to extricate themselves from being suspects but there are all kinds of interesting elements added to it.<br /><br />For instance, there are flashbacks to their time in France during the war that are really funny. That includes appearances by Chris Rock who adds just the right one liner to a situation like having to deal with racist officers or doctors that that didn’t want the wounded soldiers to be treated.<br /><br />Interracial relationships are also included. Washington and Robbie were an item after the war and Bale has a thing for Zoe Saldana who plays a nurse. That’s contrasted with the rise of fascism in Europe which also plays a role in the murder. That leads to a really big build-up at the end.<br /><br />The film has an amazing cast. Besides Bale, Washington, Robbie, Saldana, and Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Michael Shannon, Mike Myers, Taylor Swift, Timothy Olyphant, Rami Malek, and Robert De Niro all make appearances.<br /><br />This movie made me laugh. It made me want to see who was behind the murder. It made me happy to see blacks and whites in love.

Life death religion and faith
This is my first experience with Ingmar Bergman. The movie is about life, death and religion. It begins with Max Von Sydow trying to fend off his demise by challenging Death to a game of chess. Next a man believes he sees the Virgin Mary. There’s a procession of people flagellating themselves and others and then a priest says that God is punishing them with the plague. In the process people’s faith is reaffirmed and questioned. It brings up whether they can escape fate or not. The best scene is when Von Sydow watches a woman accused of being a witch about to be burned. His squire asks what does she see, angels, God, Satan, or just emptiness? It’s a very interesting movie but for someone who wants to think and be challenged.

Great plot with lots of deception and tension
Sam Worthington is the Man On A Ledge. The movie has a very strong beginning. That’s because it’s all deception. It makes you think the story is about one thing and then another, but then it proves to be something completely different. The plot also creates a lot of tension. It’s got a good cast as well with Elizabeth Banks, Anthony Mackie, Ed Harris, Edward Burns and Titus Welliver who I always like to see. The ending does go a little over the top but it’s still a very entertaining film.

It's a relationship movie posing as a monster flick
A returning space craft brought back alien monsters who are spreading around parts of the Earth including the U.S.-Mexican border. The film follows a familiar pattern of setting up the two main characters Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able first. The problem is that’s what the entire story turns out to be about. Thus you get lots of hiking, finding an old Aztec or Mayan pyramid in the jungle, etc. The aliens are few and far between. It’s almost as if the aliens interrupt their relationship. It subtly tries to say that the aliens aren't the real monsters. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t what I was expecting.

Crime and the family bond between father and son
A young Sean Penn plays the bad boy in At Close Range something that he was perfect at during this time in his career. Here he’s a tough working class kid in a dysfunctional family with Christopher Walken as his dad who is a thief and hustler. The story is about whether Penn will follow in the footsteps of his father or not. The two have a love hate relationship which creates the tension in the movie.<br /><br />At Close Range features a huge cast of rising stars. There’s Penn’s brother Chris Penn, Crispin Glover, Kiefer Sutherland, and Stephen Geoffreys.<br /><br />A lot of the film has no dialogue. It’s just scenes of Penn and Walken robbing, thieving and hanging out. It just highlights the freedom they feel doing crime. You can see why Penn’s character is drawn to that life. The problem is his dad Walken is truly evil at heart. It makes for a great drama which is about the family bond between father and son as much as it is about crime.

Does prison make animals or can inmates maintain their humanity?
Short Eyes was based upon a play by Miguel Pinero about life in Sing Sing Prison, New York. He wrote it while he was incarcerated there. The first thing that hits you is the soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield. He also play a small role in the film as well. The story itself highlights all the types of people found in prison from the predators to the black Muslims to how it’s divided by race and ethnicity and more. It’s got moments of tension like when a man is planning to rape a prisoner to moments of reflection like when they break out in song that makes everyone think about their situation. Of course that offers the opportunity for Mayfield to bust out a tune. Most importantly there’s a running debate about whether prison turns the inmates into animals or whether they can maintain their humanity.

What happens when your teen mom forms a crush on you in the past?
Back To The Future is a classic 80s sci-fi adventure film directed by Robert Zemeckis. Michael J. Fox travels back in time to the 1950s in a DeLorean car modified into a time machine by a scientist played by Christopher Lloyd. There Fox runs into his parents which causes all kinds of problems. It’s a great movie. There’s action like when Fox takes on a bully, there’s jokes like Fox’s awkward father, there’s the whole dilemma of what Fox will do with his parents which starts with his teenage mom forming a crush on him. Plus you get to see the supped up DeLorean and Lloyd’s crazy hairdo which is perfect for his role. I saw this as a kid when it came out and it still holds up today.

Hitchcock delves into misperception and deception in this classic
North By Northwest is a classic thriller by Alfred Hitchcock featuring Carry Grant as advertising executive Rogert Thornhill, Eva Marie Saint as Eve Kendall and James Mason as the bad guy Phillip Vandamm. The movie begins with Thornhill being mistaken for a man named George Kaplan and picked up by Vandamm’s henchmen. This creates immediate tension as the viewer is kept in the dark about what is going on and hence the thrill begins. In the end the audience finds out that Hitchcock has been playing with them via the plot the entire time. That was because the themes were about misperception and being deceived starting with Thornhill being mistaken for someone else.<br /><br />North By Northwest is noted for the expansive settings Hitchcock used. The most famous is when Thornhill is dropped off in the middle of nowhere and a plane attacks him. That scene starts off with him as a little dot getting off a bus with the emphasis on the empty fields all around him. Hitchcock used this technique several times within the film as well to emphasize how Thornhill was just a little a little pawn in a much bigger game.<br /><br />Overall this is a Hitchcock classic for a reason.<br />C

2 powerful sci-fi noirs about life death and revolution
I had two different reactions to these films when I saw them in a theater.<br /><br />Blade Runner was a favorite of mine when it came out in 1982. As I’ve seen it since then I’ve come to appreciate it more as a movie about life and death and its neo-Film Noir science fiction style. Harrison Ford is a Blade Runner charged with finding and killing robots called Replicants some of which want to live past their termination date. It’s theme is who has the right to live and who has the right to kill. The world that was created by director Ridley Scott was stunning with the huge structures of the rich that are like ancient Egyptian pyramids versus the poor slums where most of the population lived. The giant advertisements and more. It’s something that would go onto influence so many movies and anime that came out afterward. There’s also a Film Noir aesthetic to it with the voice over commentary by Ford who is like a hardboiled detective and all the use of light and dark in the scenes.<br /><br />In comparison I did not like Blade Runner 2049 at all at first. I thought it was far too long and actually got bored in the theater. When I watched it a few times afterward I grew to really like it. It has sweeping themes just like the original about whether there would be a revolution of the Replicants against a system that used them as labor and then killed them afterward like robotic slaves. It too has the Film Noir elements such as the use of shadows and Ryan Gosling going up against the system.<br /><br />These are two powerful sci-fi films that you can enjoy on the surface with Ford and Gosling struggling in their jobs hunting Replicants and delve deeper into with their messages about the future.

Classic 70s film of a man pushed too far
Joe Don Baker returns to his hometown in Tennessee and finds out that gambling and prostitution are legal and run the area, which has become totally corrupt. He becomes the sheriff to clean things up in this story that is loosely based upon a real person.<br /><br />Some of the movie is pretty amateurish and crude. The first fight scene for example is badly choreographed. Things get better especially when Baker starts going. One time he moves the local judge’s office into the bathroom because he’s crooked. The violence actually gets pretty brutal at times and Baker is up against a whole slew of characters who are connected via crime and corruption. He also doesn’t come off as self-righteous, but simply an honest guy who was pushed too far.<br /><br />Even with the rough edges Walking Tall is a classic 70s film.

Exceptional Japanese prison exploitation flick with some very artful production
Female Prisoner Scorpion was a series of Japanese women in prison exploitation films released in the 1970s by Toei. It was based upon a manga and featured Meiko Kaji famous for her role as Lady Snowblood. Jailhouse 41 was the second in the franchise. For not having much of a story the movie was very, very well made. There are some really artistic shots, mixed in with craziness, ghosts, and action. The theme of the movie was a battle of will between Meiki as Matsu aka The Scorpion and her tormentors who were both the prison she was in and her fellow inmates.<br /><br />The start of the film has some great cinematography. Matsu is in a prison that looks like a dungeon from medieval times. She’s chained and shackled to the floor when the warden comes in to gloat over her situation. The director used a low shot up close to Matsu’s face to show her utter contempt for authority with the warden standing on high above her to symbolize the power relationship between the two.<br /><br />The story is broken up into three parts. First it’s all about the punishment the prison meted out to Matsu. Second, Matsu and a group of prisoners escape and it goes into the supernatural as they run into a spirit. The spirit goes through the crimes each prisoner committed in another well shot sequence with each woman moving towards the camera as their wrongs are described. The last is the women’s final fate.<br /><br />Meiko puts in a strong performance even though she only talks at the very end of the film. She acts and looks like a ghost or better yet a demon with her facial expressions. Despite being a prisoner and constantly being betrayed she possesses an inner strength that keeps her going.<br /><br />There are some comedic moments as well such as when Matsu attacks the warden while a government official is visiting making him pee his pants.<br /><br />Overall, I wasn’t expecting much from this film when it first started but it actually turned out to be quite exceptional. Unlike the first in the Scorpion series this one moves past just being pure exploitation. The prisoners' journey is the focus so it's really a woman's film. It deals with their past and the hopes that will allow them to be free.<br />C

Woody Allen at his best Not so neurotic and plenty of jokes
Bananas was Woody Allen’s fifth film. It is a political satire of the U.S. fight against communism, American leftists, and Latin American revolutionaries.<br /><br />The movie stars Fielding Mellish (Woody Allen) as a hopeless New Yorker. He goes to the fictional country of San Marcos and gets caught in the middle of the war by the revolutionaries to overthrow the dictatorship. This is where the movie pans politics.<br /><br />For example, he meets the dictator and brings cake. The dictator’s aides get mad because he only brought one kind of cake instead of an assortment. Later, Fielding joins the guerrillas. They run out of food and he is told to go into town and get supplies. He orders 700 sandwiches, coffee and soft drinks. When it’s time to pay the bill he says they’re with the rebels and pulls a gun on them. It's just one hilarious and ridiculous situation after another with no real stop. It showed great writing and comedic minds by Allen and Mickey Rose.<br /><br />To me Woody Allen’s early movies were really his best. He put in a ton of jokes and there wasn’t as much neurotic dialogue as he would be known for later. Bananas is a perfect example of his early humor and it really is a standout.<br />C

It's enjoyable despite the odd casting choices
The Pride And The Passion was based upon a book about the Spanish and English trying to keep a huge cannon out of the hands of Napoleon. In what must have been considered a coup by Hollywood at the time but seems completely ridiculous today was that they cast Cary Grant as an English officer sent to Spain about the gun and Frank Sinatra as a Spanish resistance leader. Hearing Sinatra trying to do a Spanish accent is hilarious because he sounds like he’s trying to be Mexican. The movie was shot in Spain so most of the secondary characters and extras had real Spanish accents. That also led to all the French officers talking with Spanish accent as well because they were all Spanish actors! Out of this mess the only thing that really worked as hiring Sophia Loren. She does a flamenco dance in one scene where she gives a look to the audience that is to die for. Then Sinatra breaks it up with a dramatic “It is late.” That shows that the casting wasn’t the only thing wrong with this movie.<br /><br />What’s also funny is that the movie unknowingly promotes Maoist principles of guerilla warfare such as when Grant tells Sinatra he needs the peasants if they are going to fight the French.<br /><br />On the positive side the story didn’t get bogged down in the love story which could have easily happened. It also had plenty of action scenes although many of them don’t make any sense. The opening and ending sequences were really impressive as well as they involved 100s of extras something you just don’t see in today’s movies.<br /><br />Filming in Spain also offered some striking visuals. Early on in the movie for instance there are a ton of old windmills which reminds one of Don Quixote. There’s also a giant Catholic procession that looks amazing with all the colors and pageantry.<br /><br />Despite the odd casting choices this was still an enjoyable film.

They have to change there's no other choice
The Sisters Brothers is about John Riley and Joaquin Phoenix going on a giant adventure in the American West while they hunt down a man. What I liked about the movie was all the small details and contradictions. Riley for instance gets introduced to his first toothbrush. Phoenix uses a big word which Riley never heard before. These are not things you usually associate with Westerns but add a lot of character to the story. What the movie comes down to is how the trip changes the men involved. That’s what Riz Ahmed says, they have to change, there’s no other choice. It’s a great movie with two great performances.
