Far more about the band than the album
This documentary is far more about the band and the characters that made up the group than the Ace of Spades album. It starts off with Lemmy since he was in the music game for quite some time and then about how the band partied, toured, had conflicts with each other, their roadcrew, etc. The album comes second to all that. That doesn’t mean there’s not a lot of music because there is. Drummer Phil Taylor is a real jokester and had me chuckling throughout.

Not enough happens to keep the tension going
A heist gone wrong is the plot of He Ran All The Way Home. It features John Garfield of The Postman Always Rings Twice fame who holds Shelly Winters and her family hostage to escape the law. It’s supposed to be a taught thriller with the criminal and the innocent family but it drags on too long and not enough happens to keep the tensions going. The fact that Garfield is a bit of a schmuck doesn’t help things either.

Best movie of 2018 powerful and funny at same time A love story to Oakland
Blindspotting is a love story to the city of Oakland, California, for what it is and what is disappearing due to gentrification. It was written by the two stars of the movie Daveed Diggs as Colin and Rafel Casal as Miles.<br /><br />The message of the old and new Oakland is shown as soon as the credits start. You have the corner stores and the new Whole Foods Market. You’ve got the black people and the new white people. You have the homeless camps while new apartments are being built across the city. Then Colin and Miles eat food at the new Kwik Qay. That used to be a neighborhood burger joint in the hood, but now it has become a gourmet restaurant with vegan burgers and umami ketchup.<br /><br />The story focuses upon Diggs who just got out of prison and has two days left on parole and his life long friend Miles. They work as movers, and they come across all kinds of examples of how the Oakland they grew up in is disappearing as middle and upper class whites move into the city and transform it. Kwik Way was just one example. Another is when they empty out an old house in West Oakland that used to be owned by a black family. These are the type of people that are being forced out of Oakland because of the rising costs, and their home will be refurbished and sold to a middle to upper class family just moving to the city.<br /><br />There are other messages as well. Colin’s parole for example shows how the lives of felons are so limited that it is almost impossible not to have a violation and be sent right back to jail. For example, he’s given a job to move a house outside of Alameda county. Luckily Colin catches that otherwise he would have violated his parole. In another scene his mom asks him why he can’t find an apartment and he says as a convicted felon that’s impossible. Instead he lives in a halfway house with a curfew which he is always on the verge of breaking. Again, if he did that would be a violation and he would be sent back to prison.<br /><br />Police violence is also covered as Colin witnesses the police shooting an unarmed black man that was running from the authorities. That death haunts Colin as his daily routine is disturbed with the images of the murdered man and all the other black men that have been killed by cops. Miles’ young son also gets trained on how to deal with the police so that he doesn’t get shot.<br /><br />Blindspotting was by far the best movie of 2018. It was hilarious. It was touching. It had poignant social and political issues. It was just amazing and everyone should see it.

A big giant high speed chase with a tale of redemption thrown in
George Miller had not done a Mad Max movie since 1985. Since then he’d mostly been doing mainstream family and children’s movies. That meant there were big questions of whether he could deliver on this franchise which he’d mad so famous. He did with Fury Road.<br /><br />It starred Tom Hardy as Max, made famous by Mel Gibson, and Charlize Theron as Furiosa. The connection to the old movies is made from the start as Max does a voice over and flashback to his killed family, has the same muscle car as in the original Max movies, and is chased down by a gang based upon the one from Mad Max 2.<br /><br />As usual there’s a postapocalyptic setting and story. This time there’s a society run by a deformed and dying tyrant named Joe who wears makeup and a body suit that looks like a skeleton. He controls the supply of water which keep his people under control. He has an army that acts like a cult called the War Boys. He has a harem that he hopes will birth him a normal child as most are deformed.<br /><br />It’s quite a feat that Miller was able to create an engaging story with this film as the vast majority of it takes place on the road as Furiosa and Max attempt to escape Joe and his War Boys out in the wilderness. Being confined to vehicles doesn’t usually create good dialogue, although its fine for action. Miller was able to carry the story despite this huge limitation. Furiosa was trying to save the harem women from a life of sex slaves to take them to another world where they would be free and protected by other women. She wanted to find redemption in saving them. The women were also stronger and more resourceful than one might initially believe.<br /><br />On the action front Miller created a huge array of vehicles all decked out. There are ones that look like porcupines. Others that are huge trucks with truck cabs on top of them. One has a huge array of speakers and guitarist playing war tunes on it. These are the vehicles of war that are constantly battling each other.<br /><br />Miller also employs some fantastic cinematography and special effects to create the sweeping plains upon which all these vehicles are fighting each other. For instance, all the vehicles drive into a huge storm with tornados and lightning inside of it which provides some pretty incredible visuals. He also uses strong colors to highlight the characters and action. For instance, the sky is usually grey or clear blue during the day to highlight the people against a blank background. Later the sky turns a beautiful blue reflected on the main characters at night, and then a darker grey-blue as Joe and his friends show up.<br /><br />Overall, this was a great piece of action and a story of redemption.<br />C

Isn't as different as director probably hoped for
Unhuman starts off like a typical monster movie with a bunch of high school kids being chased by zombies. Then it morphs into a story about the cool kids versus the outsiders. The second part is the attempt to make Unhuman different from the norm and it throws in a twist at the end as well. I didn’t think it accomplished that because it didn’t break away that much from common tropes. That doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s still a good watch. It just doesn’t stand out as much as the movie makers probably hoped for.

Top notch Horror-Blaxxploitation flick featuring a woman out for revenge using voodoo & zombies
Sugar Hill is a Blaxploitation Horror film. It starts with Diana “Sugar” Hill (Marki Bey) losing her boyfriend Langston (Larry Johnson). He’s beaten to death by local gangster Morgan (Robert Quarry) who wants Langston’s nightclub. To get revenge Sugar goes to local voodoo priestess Mama Maltresse (Zara Cully) who summons Baron Samedi (Don Pedro Colley) and his zombie army. They go after each member of Morgan’s gang until he’s the last one left. One gets thrown into a pig pen with hungry swine. Another is forced to stab himself, while a third dies from a voodoo doll.<br /><br />Hill is as beautiful as she is deadly. Baron Samedi is a great character showing up playing the subservient black man to Morgan’s gangsters to lure them to their deaths. There are plenty of Blaxploitation films about getting back at the man, but few did it as well as this one did. In so doing it also used voodoo as a means of empowerment for African Americans. An added bonus the outro track is Supernatural Voodoo Woman by the Originals, which is a great soul tune.<br /><br />All together that makes Sugar Hill a really good 1970s zombie flick.<br />C

Jackie Chan's best? YES!
This was the first in a series of movies Jackie Chan released and it is by far the best of the lot. It pairs Chan with Michelle Yeoh in an undercover mission to infiltrate a notorious criminal’s network and bring it down. What sets it apart from many of Chan’s other releases was that the story was much more serious. Yes they had fun but it wasn’t like many of his movies where they are just going to goof off the entire time.<br /><br />What’s so good about it is that the action and the comedy are some of the best that Chan did. For example right at the start they have some fun with the role as Chan has to pose as a Chinese national. He can’t remember his background and when they take pictures he starts messing around making faces for the camera. Right afterward Yeoh makes Chan spar with a police martial arts instructor.<br /><br />Michelle Yeoh early on in her movie career did all of her own fighting scenes and stunts and she really got to shine here. They would be put into all kinds of crazy situations involving a helicopter, a motorcycle and a moving train in the climax. Chan rarely had a female co-star who could stand up to him but Yeoh could.<br /><br />These are all reasons why Supercop is one of Chan’s best movies and is my personal fav.<br />C

Great science fiction story
This is a great science fiction story because it starts off so normal and then takes you down a rabbit hole. Plus it stars Nicholas Cage. He gets to do his crazy Cage routine at the end along with being obsessed. If you watch it a second time you’ll see some foreshadowing of what’s to come at the start plus some references to the Bible at the end. Very well written and engaging.

Just watch Samuel L Jackson do his thing in this neo-Film Noir
The Spirit was directed by famed comic book artist and writer Frank Miller who also wrote the screenplay. The movie is played out like a Film Noir with the main character The Spirit played by Gabriel Macht doing a voice over talking about the dangers of the city. The dialogue is based upon the Hard Boiled detective genre. It also tries to capture the Noir aesthetic by using dark lighting and playing upon the shadows which are classic Noir tropes.<br /><br />The story itself is about the Spirit going up against his arch nemesis The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson). The kicker is that they are both indestructible so no matter how many times they punch and shoot each other they always come back. Jackson is great as the villain. He gets to do his angry, yelling act which is always fun to watch. He really outshines Macht and is the main reason to watch the film.

The best of the best in the Bond franchise
Goldfinger in my honest opinion was the epitome of the entire James Bond franchise. Dr. No was important because it set out all the themes and tropes that would appear in all the subsequent movies. Goldfinger was when they all came together at their absolute best.<br /><br />The movie starts with a great spy scene where Bond blows up a facility, then gets with a woman, only to escape an assassination attempt. Connery is his usual cool and collected self, such as when the bombs go off and he just looks around like nothing happened. This set a standard that all the following Bond movies would start with a bang with an action scene.<br /><br />Next the movie had a good villain and some iconic Bond girls. There’s Jill Masterson played by Shirley Eaton who Bond finds dead and painted in gold. It’s one of THE iconic 007 scenes. Then of course there’s Pussy Galore played by Honor Blackman who will go down in history as one of the Bond girl names everyone knows. Finally Bond’s nemesis was Auric Goldfinger played by Gert Frobe. He had an audacious plan to control the world’s gold supply. Not only that but he has one of the great Bond scenes when 007 asks him “Do you expect me to talk?” and Goldfinger replies, “No Mr. Bond I expect you to die.”<br /><br />For me, Connery is the pan ultimate Bond. He had the looks, the swagger, the sexism, and the feel for the character like none other. In this film he also gets plenty of gadgets to play with which set a standard for the following films. The most iconic is his Aston Martin car.<br /><br />The title song is another excellent tune by Shirley Bassey.<br /><br />All together this is the best of the best. You get Sean Connery at his peak. You get the spy tools. You get a classic Bond villain and two of the best Bond girls. There’s action, there’s adventure, there’s sex. It’s a Bond movie!<br />C

No story more like an experience which I got tired of
Eraserhead was the world’s introduction to David Lynch’s surrealist filmmaking. The movie barely has a plot and watching it is more of an experience. If you ever wondered what it was like to travel down the rabbit hole like Alice then Eraserhead might give you an idea. Lynch created a bizarre world and his audience is taken along for the ride. For instance, in one scene the main character Jack Nance is eating chicken which starts making noises, moves around, and then bleeds. Later he finds out he had a baby which looks like a little lizard alien. It’s really just one weird moment after another. You can tell why it’s considered a cult classic. On the other hand it’s definitely an acquired taste. I actually got tired of it after a while.

Ali was not only one of the greatest fighters but the people's champion This doc shows why
When We Were Kings is one of the greatest documentaries EVER. It covers the Rumble In The Jungle, the 1974 fight between heavy weight champion George Foreman and Muhammad Ali in Zaire. It was a huge event not only for its location, but for the promotional job of Don King, and the amazing concert that took place beforehand. It was pretty incredible that it came out as well as director Leon Gast spent 22 years trying to get financing to finish it. The film is a celebration of Muhammad Ali.<br /><br />Muhammad Ali was not only one of the best boxers ever, but he was charismatic and political. This occurred after he refused the draft during the Vietnam War, and had his title taken away, and had to take his case all the way to the Supreme Court to return to boxing, which is all included in the documentary. His match with George Foreman was his first try at regaining the championship after his legal battle. The movie has plenty of footage of Ali’s famous press conferences where he let his words and personality mesmerize the crowds. His gift for gab was legendary such as when he said, “I’m so bad I made medicine sick.” This is what made Ali so charismatic.<br /><br />Ali’s standing with the public was shown when he arrived in Zaire. Crowds flocked to him chanting “Ali bomaye” meaning Ali kill him! Everywhere Ali went people followed him in huge crowds. That’s because they saw him as more than a boxer. As one artist interviewed for the film said Ali stood for a greater cause of justice because of his stance against the Vietnam War and for freedom for black people.<br /><br />To add to this was interviews with writers that covered the event such as Norman Mailer and George Plimpton, along with news footage of Howard Cossell. The first two hyped up George Foreman who had one of the biggest punches in the game at the time. Mailer for instance, said that Ali must have been afraid of Foreman in the back of his mind because he’d destroyed Joe Frazier and Ken Norton beforehand. Cossell had a similar opinion saying that he thought not only would Ali fail in his quest but retire afterward.<br /><br />Then before the match there was the concert. Flashes of the show are highlighted as well with acts like The J.B.’s, The Spinners, B.B. King, Miriam Makeba, and James Brown.<br /><br />Of course, everything ends with the actual fight and it was one of the most amazing things ever. It all evolved around the Rope a Dope. You have to see it to believe it. It’s incredible.<br /><br />All together this is what makes this documentary a must see.<br />C

Studying a possession but with some twists
It’s 1974 and a professor Jared Harris wants to study the supernatural with his students. Most of the movie is your usual possession flick but then there’s some twists. One is the ethics of what they’re doing as Harris does a number of questionable things. The other is Harris doesn’t believe in the occult. The odd thing is for a movie that gets pretty tense it wasn’t scary at all. Still a good horror flick.

Movie is split between Cash's life and music and his relationship with June Cash
Walk The Line was a biographical film about the life of Johnny Cash played by Joaquin Phoenix. It’s split into two general themes. One is about him and his music from his upbringing to later in life. The other part focuses upon his relationship with June Cash (Reese Witherspoon). The story follows a familiar path of Cash’s rise, fall and rise again, and includes many of his songs which has become the formula for this genre.<br /><br />The story has Cash’s love of music. His peers are there like Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and others. There are all the family problems he got into and the infidelity. There’s his drug addiction and more.<br /><br />The top scene in the entire movie though is when he tries to restart his career and plays at Folsom Prison to record a live album. That’s when his lyrics about being an outlaw, his song is about shooting a woman and doing drugs, wearing all black, and playing in front of a bunch of prisoners all comes together.<br /><br />It's a very traditional depiction of a music star but still an interesting story.<br />C

Wong got too ambitious trying to do 2 stories and having them drag out at the end
Fallen Angels was Wong Kar Wai’s fifth film and dealt with two completely separate stories. Both deal with Wong’s favorite topic love. This time unrequited ones. Michelle Reis played a helper for the killer Wong Chi Ming (Leon Lai). The twist is the two never really meet and yet he was the only thing she ever thought about. The second is about a mute named Ho Chi-Mo (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who falls for a girl who always thinks about other men. I think Wong got too ambitious with this story however as it ends up going all over the place.<br /><br />Christopher Doyle did the cinematography and it was beautiful as usual. This time he laid down all kinds of very subtle shots. For instance in the opening Reis sets up a room for Wong and there’s an outside shot that shows the small room on one side and the street and passing train on the other. It’s like a split screen between the home and the outside world but it’s not because it’s one shot. The colors throughout the film are also put through a filter to give it a kind of cloudy dreamlike feel.<br /><br />The writing is top notch initially. There are many scenes that convey the relationship between Reis and Wong for instance like when Reis goes through Wong’s garbage after he’s done a job just to get a hint at what’s he’s been doing. It’s also very sexual which you wouldn’t expect when the two main characters don’t meet. Ho’s character on the other hand does one ridiculous thing after another like threatening people to eat his ice cream. It also offers a comparison between Wong’s violent life with plenty of scenes of him assassinating people versus Ho’s carefree existence.<br /><br />That being said the story gets real meandering. There’s a whole part of the movie in the second half about Wong and Ho that doesn’t seem necessary. Their relationships are over and they just go off in all different directions. Those parts could have been cut. Overall you have to take the good with the bad when it comes to Fallen Angeles.

Melissa McCarthy goes from girl behind the desk to foul mouthed secret agent
I think Melissa McCarthy really shined in this film. She goes from the nerdy girl behind the desk that tells the secret agent what to do to being the secret agent out in the field. More importantly her attitude and foul mouth was completely unexpected and hilarious. Add to that Jason Statham acting like an idiot talking about using the Face Off machine to get a new face and then cursing out everyone around him and you have a winning combination. There are a lot of little special moments as well such as Miranda Hart being another girl behind the desk, Peter Serfinowicz playing a sex crazed Italian driver, Rose Byrne as a rude villain and more.

A little boy named Atari hijacks a plane and crashes on the island looking for his dog Spot.

The boy gets a plane part stuck in his skull during his crash. There is a rumor of a pack of cannibal dogs and more. It’s not laugh out loud funny, but it’ll make you chuckle. It’s also got some very endearing dogs.

Story never develops any momentum or urgency
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie was an independent film made by John Cassavetes. It featured Ben Gazzara as Cosmo Vittelli. He was a man who thought he was on top of the world and had everything under control. He owned a strip club, he had beautiful women around him all the time, and was bringing in the bucks. In fact, he didn’t have anything and him facing that fact is what the story is about.<br /><br />Cosmo’s dilemma was that he owed thousands of dollars to mobsters. At the start he finally pays off his debt but then gambles that night and goes right back into debt. He ends up signing over his club as collateral. The gangsters then want him to kill a Chinese bookie named Harold Ling to clear all the money he owes, hence the title of the film. It’s a lesson to Cosmo that he’s not the important man he thinks he is. In fact, his life and future is in the hands of others.<br /><br />The problem with the movie is that the story is not believable. Why would some gangsters ask a strip club owner to do a hit for them? I doesn’t make any sense. The Chinese guy even has some bodyguards around him. What chance would a businessman have to take him out?<br /><br />Most importantly however is that there is no tension or payoff in the script.<br />C

1 of my fav Poitier films about the importance of personal relationships in teaching
To Sir With Love is one of my favorite Sidney Poitier movies. First off it’s got a great theme song by Lulu who is also one of the stars. The story places Poitier in London’s equivalent of an inner city school as a new teacher. He’s got to win over the unruly kids that believe they are in control. It’s great to see him mad. He starts calling his female students sluts. It’s hilarious. There’s also some great moments like when Poitier takes his kids to a museum with To Sir With Love playing and short shots of the students looking at the exhibits. Most importantly it shows that personal relationships is one of the keys to being a successful teacher.

Throwback to when Allen was tyring to throw in jokes into almost every scene
Mighty Aphrodite is a throwback for Woody Allen. That’s because it’s a straight comedy. The story is about hubris and love. Allen finds the mother of his adopted child Mira Sorvino and feels responsible for her. Part of that becomes finding her a lover. There’s a chorus of actors dressed like an ancient Greek play who give commentary throughout the film. They’re the ones who keep on saying that Allen is acting out of hubris believing that he can play god with Sorvino’s life. They also have a lot of comedic moments like when they call Zeus for help and they get an answering machine. I really enjoyed the film from start to finish. Now I wasn’t laughing out loud but I liked the writing and the wit. I miss these types of Allen films because he’s trying to be too serious these days in too many of his releases.

What a silly movie
Hammer Films had such success with One Million Years B.C. in 1966 they decided to make a take off When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth in 1970. Instead of Raquel Welch they had Playboy Playmate Victoria Vetri. In fact, they weren’t happy with just Vetri they had a trio of blond women in a prehistoric tribe at the beginning who were to be sacrificed. One runs away and dies falling off a cliff, while Vetri is saved by a storm that blows her into the ocean where she is rescued by a group of men. They take her to their village where she causes problems because the man she stays with already has a woman. Also her own tribe goes hunting for her.<br /><br />The movie is really silly. All the characters speak a made up language so there has to be a lot of hand motions and drawings to figure out what they’re saying. There’s also girl fights, some stop motion dinosaurs and close ups of a lizard made out to be a dinosaur to terrorize the humans. Vetri even makes friends with a dinosaur family.<br /><br />Some might say this is so bad it's good, but no it's just bad.

Ballard (Crash). Victoria Vetri stars as Sanna, rescued from ritual sacrifice by Tara (Robin Hawdon), a member of a rival tribe. Her survival coincides with the mysterious formation of a new "fire" in the sky: the moon! Sanna's old tribe blames her for this affront to the sun; Sanna flees their wrath and Tara follows. Their shared adventures loom as large as the giants who once ruled the earth!.

A classic about the ideals of American democracy and the justice system
12 Angry Men is an American classic that deals with how democracy should work. It focuses upon a court case that appears to be open and shut. A teen is accused of killing his father.<br />All the jurors think the kid is guilty and will get the death penalty except for Juror #8 (Henry Fonda). He believes that the boy deserves a serious discussion about whether he is guilty or not. That annoys almost everyone, but that leads into a heated debate over not only the case, but all kinds of other issues. Juror #10 for example (Ed Begley) is racist against immigrants. Amongst all the talk and arguments Juror #11 (George Voskovec) reminds everyone that they are there to carry out their democratic duty to have the people decide a criminal case, and that this is an essential part of how America works. It’s not the judges or government that decides whether people get sent away, but the public itself. That is the message of the film and delivers it in a powerful way.<br /><br />My only real complaint about the film is that it takes a bit to get the deliberations going, and in the middle, there’s a little a bit of a drag as well. Otherwise this is a great film about the ideals of America.<br />C

College can't escape society's problems of race, rape, police, sexuality, etc
Higher Learning was John Singleton’s movie about American colleges. It starts out like it will just be dealing with divisions between black and white students but then it branches out in all kinds of different directions. It goes into race, the police, rape, and people’s sexuality. Hence one woman gets raped. Another joins a neo-Nazi skinhead group. There’s also white and black students becoming friends, cops always targeting black students, and more. The main problem is that Singleton pushed some things to make his point. That meant when the movie talked about institutional racism it sometimes seemed like a conspiracy theory. There was also some real over acting and some parts haven’t aged well. On the other hand Singleton was willing to cover all these things which are not really discussed when dealing with college life so he was being bold.

A lot better than I was expecting
The Interview is famous for the fact that North Korea threatened the U.S. if the movie was released. It was the brainchild of the writing duo of Seth Rogen and Even Goldberg. James Franco played a popular celebrity interviewer and Rogen was his producer. They get to interview North Korea’s Kim Jong-un (Randall Park) and the CIA wants them to take advantage of the situation and kill the Korean leader. This is akin to asking two little children to do advanced math. That’s also the source of the comedy. You know the two are hapless fools so you want to see how badly they can screw things up.<br /><br />The intelligence of Franco and Rogen is shown at the start when the CIA ask them to kill Kim. The CIA officer says the Agency wants them to take out the Korean leader and the two are confused. Did that mean taking Kim out on a date, taking him to a nightclub or what?<br /><br />Park turns out great in his role. He plays Kim like a crazed fan of the West who likes to party. He and Franco for instance discuss Katie Perry.<br /><br />There are some really funny moments in the movie. That comes from the fact that Goldberg and Rogen are a good duo especially when they don’t focus upon Rogen being a man child all the time. That makes this movie much better than I was expecting.<br />C

Had a lot of potential but failed to capitalize on it
Smoking Gun is a British drama featuring Tommy O’Neill as Jack. He is completely down on his luck. He refuses to work because ironically he thinks it will lead him to a dead end life. He’s a consummate gambler thinking that the right bet will get him out of his problems. He even has a huge bruise on his face showing that he has literally been beaten down. He spends all day at the gambling hall with his two friends. The movie just centers around Jack and his friends spending all their days at the bookies.<br /><br />Most of the movie has Jack and company talking about betting, while Jack reflects about how bad his life is. Things take a turn when he might finally win big and a gangster wants his bet. The story meanders before that and then the mobsters are supposed to create the tension. The plot never really took off and stayed at a slow to medium speed throughout. Even the appearance of the gangster didn’t really change the mood. Smoking Gun had a lot of potential, but never realized it.<br />C

It's all about the battle of the 5 armies and plot suffers as a result
The Battle of the Five Armies was the conclusion to the Hobbit trilogy by Peter Jackson. Each one of the films had a theme. For this one it was about the spoils of war. The tremendous wealth inside the Lonely Mountain corrupted Thorin (Richard Armitage) the head of the Dwarves, and obviously brought five armies together to fight for the treasure.<br /><br />The movie starts off with a series of great action sequences pitting the forces of good versus evil. After that however everything is aimed at the growing forces and the coming of war. It doesn’t make the story half as interesting as the previous two films. Yes, there are some great images like giant trolls being used for catapults and battering rams, but there’s just not much of a story. There’s also a huge plot hole with a bunch of fisherman being able to hold off an Orc army.<br />C

Great epic history on the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty in China
This is a Chinese nationalist movie about Sun Yat Sen/Winston Chao leading the revolution against the Manchus to overthrow the Qing dynasty and create a republic. Jackie Chan is one of his generals. The story is moving and dramatic and makes for a historical epic. There are battles scenes to executed revolutionaries throw into the sea. There are constant explanations for the historical events portrayed and the many people involved. Chao and others give speeches against feudalism, the monarchy and foreign exploitation of China. Chao is especially good in one scene where he tells off a bunch of European bankers about how they have bled China. After all that the ending slaps some reality on the idealism expressed in the film. If you know your history you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Good but not great Marvel outing with a horrible casting choice
When I first saw Doctor Strange in a movie theater I was not all that impressed. The story didn’t strike me as fun and exciting as the previous Marvel releases and I was even a bit disappointed. I was also offended by a casting choice. Upon further viewing however I appreciate it much more than before. That being said if you wanted to break Marvel movies into a hierarchy of great, good and bad, Doctor Strange would definitely be in the middle category.<br /><br />Here’s what the movie does good. First, in the comics Stephen Strange was a vain and pompous character because of his success as a top notch surgeon. Benedict Cumberbatch portrayed that very well at the start of the film, highlighted by him berating Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams) after his accident, which ended his medical career. Second, they did a good job with Dormammu the evil force in the background of the film. In the comics he’s man sized with a flaming head. In a movie that wouldn’t be so imposing so they made him into a huge force, so large you could only see his head. Third, the effects were impressive. They obviously borrowed a page from Inception with the folding and bending landscapes and took that to another level when the wizards fight each other. Last, I have always enjoyed watching Chiwetel Ejiofor (Baron Mordo) on the screen and he did not disappoint in this role.<br /><br />Here are the negatives. My biggest complaint was picking Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One. In the comics he is an immortal Asian man. If Stephen Strange wanted to find a bald, white woman mystic he could have just stayed in New York City and gone to The Village. The producers tried to justify this by saying they made the character more diverse by making it a woman. My take is that they didn’t want to cast an Asian in such an important role. Totally racist. My second major complaint was that Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) was not a good nemesis for Strange. Any good comic book, action movie, etc. needs a good antagonist, one that is an evil genius for instance or just down and dirty. Without that there’s no reason for the audience to care about what the bad guy is doing. Here, Kaecilius steals part of a spell book to bring forth Dormammu. He kills a few people along the way, but that’s it. That’s a really weak villain.<br /><br />Like I said, upon first viewing I wasn’t a big fan of Doctor Strange initially, but I’ve liked it more and more over the years. It’s a good, but not great Marvel release.

A story of saving face but it could have been 30 mins shorter
The first time I saw Akira Kurosawa’s Stray Dog was in a movie theater. While I enjoyed elements of it, I found that the movie was far too long and really dragged. I wanted to see if it faired better during a second viewing.<br /><br />The theme of Straw Dog is saving face. Toshiro Mifune is a rookie detective who had his gun stolen and must find it otherwise he will be disgraced.<br /><br />A second theme is the heat. Right from the start all the characters are sweating and trying to cool themselves. Japan is a very hot and humid country during the middle of the year and it’s meant to symbolize the pressure and desperation that Mifune feels. There are shots of him with his clothes just dripping wet.<br /><br />A third aspect is life in post-war Japan. The story takes place in Tokyo right after the end of World War II. There are shanties, homeless people, prostitutes, criminals almost everywhere Mifune goes looking for his gun. The country was devastated by the war and faced extreme poverty and hardships for many years until the economic boom of the 1950s due to the Korean War started to turn things around.<br /><br />A fourth issue is the role of a mentor. Mifune is eventually teamed with Takashi Shimura the chief detective, a Kurosawa fav. He shows Mifune the ropes of his job and helps break the case.<br /><br />Here’s my one complaint Kurosawa dragged out the story to nauseating effect several times. There’s one where Mifune is casing the streets hoping to come across a lead on his missing gun. It’s meant to portray the fruitlessness of his ordeal by showing Mifune going from place to place over and over. Similarly, Mifune and Shimura are trying to find a man at a baseball game. They show the game again and again and again. It’s just too much and could have been edited to make for a much tighter story. If the film was an hour and a half instead of two hours it would have been much better.

Great comedic spoof of the 70s American Basketball Association
Semi-Pro was an excellent spoof of the American Basketball Association (ABA) that was in business from 1967-76. The league was known for its flashy play and financial troubles. In 1976 it merged with the National Basketball Association. All of those are included in the movie.<br /><br />It focuses upon The Flint, Michigan Tropics who are owned by Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell). He is also the team’s starting power forward. He knows little about basketball, but he’s an amazing promotor. When the ABA announces that it will merge with the NBA and only four teams will continue Moon has a fit threatening to fight the other owners. Then he comes up with a proposal that the teams with the four best records should join the NBA. The movie then focuses upon whether the Tropics can make the top four. They trade their washing machine for Monix (Woody Harrelson) who won a championship with the Celtics, but is now on the downside of his career. He tries to shape the team’s star Clarence (Andre 3000) into a complete player. There’s also great play by play by Dick Pepperfield (Andy Daly) and Lou Redwood (Will Arnett).<br /><br />The movie plays upon all the highs and lows the ABA was known for. Many of the teams struggled with fans which is true for the Tropics. During the opening game Pepperfield and Redwood say neither has been paid as a result. Moon tries everything to bring in people including having a bear fight, and doing a roller skating jump off a ramp over his cheerleaders. The ABA was also known for its innovations. It started the dunk contest and brought the 3-point shot to the NBA. In the movie it has the Tropics doing the first alley-oop.<br /><br />Semi-Pro also has a great soundtrack of 70s Soul and Funk tunes. It really helps capture the times the movie is set in.<br /><br />The film is hilarious. During the bear fight it escapes the cage. Moon tells the crowd to grab a young child and put it in front of them for protection. During a game Moon gets a concussion and dreams that he’s going to heaven where he sees his mom who turns out to be singer Patti LaBelle. It’s really worth a watch.<br />C

Bunch of people talking about Lemmy as well as performances from various bands
This is a French documentary about Motorhead. The first half covers a Motorhead tour that also included Saxon, Girlschool, and Vulcan. It mixes interviews with some of the band members, noticeably Lemmy is not included, and live performances by all the bands and a few videos as well. The main question for the band members is what they think about Lemmy and their history with him. The second half is just different musicians like Metallica’s bassist Robert Trujillo talking about Lemmy. It makes the film uneven because you think it’s about the tour but then it turns out to just be people reflecting on Lemmy.

Would've been a great spoof of the Cold War but it was actually a serious film
Michael Caine returned as the Harry Palmer character which started with the Ipcress File and then Funeral In Berlin. I took this movie different than those two however. It always seemed like a satire of spy films. There were many scenes that felt like they were poking fun at the whole idea of the secret agent hero and espionage. There were caricatures as well such as Ed Bagley as a gun totting, anti-communist crusader who preaches about his fight as a religious struggle. It’s such a stereotype of America. This would have been a great spoof of the Cold War. The irony is that it was made as a serious film and therefore cannot be taken seriously.

Shallow and souless author stuck in high school
Charlize Theron plays a shallow book writer who really has nothing going in her life but thinks that she can get her old high school boyfriend Patrick Wilson back even though he’s married and just had a kid. Patton Oswalt who Theron barely knew in high school tries to be her conscience. Theron has these scenes where someone will tell her a great thing they did and Theron just gives them a blank stare and says that’s a shame because she not only doesn’t care but doesn’t understand what they’re talking about. She’s that soulless. Of course there’s also the irony that Theron who was the prom queen type in high school starts hanging out with Oswalt who she wouldn’t even give the time of day when she was a teen. It’s a fun combination.

Captures the mood and action of George Romero's original Dawn of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead was a really good take off of George Romero’s 1978 classic. The screenplay was done by James Gunn who would go on to Guardians of the Galaxy, its sequel, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame amongst others. He really captured the mood of Romero’s films with the initial shock of the zombie apocalypse, then the adaptation to the environment, followed by malaise and a desperate attempt to escape.<br /><br />The movie does not play around with characters or background. It goes straight into the zombies. A little girl shows up at nurse Ana’s (Sarah Polley) house and bites her boyfriend who then turns into a zombie. She jumps out her bathroom window to find chaos going on outside. She then links up with Officer Hall (Ving Rhames), Michael (Jack Weber), Andrew (Mekhi Phifer) and his wife Luda (Inna Korobkina). They go to a mall where they find other survivors. This is phase one and two where the apocalypse begins and they have to figure out how to survive.<br /><br />The rest of the movie is just as good fluctuating between the mundane of living in the mall to the intense such as when they have to fix the power generator in the basement. The ending doesn’t disappoint either.<br /><br />There have been a lot of zombie movies made. This one stands out as one of the better ones.<br />C

Too inconsistent for me
There are two parts to this documentary. First there is concert footage playing out entire songs. Second the camera follows Grace Jones around with a lot spent on a trip to her homeland of Jamaica. The camera is usually completely passive. It just sits in one spot and just watches Jones talk, put on her make-up what have you. This also meant the footage is really up and down. For instance, at one point she’s in Paris complaining about her finances. I don’t think that was of any interest. There’s another time when she talks about her abusive father which was much better. Overall a bit too inconsistent for me.

Propaganda for Chinese army with some horrible plot twists
A drug lord puts out a hit upon a Chinese special forces sniper Wu Jing. The movie is really a showoff for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). There’s military hardware everywhere from tanks to helicopters and more. They even wear badges that say, “I fight for China.” It also borrows a lot from video games with point of view shots during action sequences and a lot of digital maps.<br /><br />At first it seems like it’ll be a traditional military flick with a lot of shooting and hardware but they throw in a scene where Jing and his unit get attacked by a giant pack of wolves?!?!?! Then a group of mercenaries show up in the middle of a Chinese military exercise. This screamed for an editor so badly but again it’s propaganda not a traditional film.

Coming of age story about learning to be humble
Oddly enough, Thor is a coming of age story. It starts with Thor being the upstart, brash, impudent prince of Asgard starting needless fights, that could escalate into war. To teach him a lesson, his father Odin punishes him by taking away his powers and exiling him to Earth. He’s there until he grows up and understands what it means to be a leader because he’s eventually going to replace The All Father. His half-brother Loki of course, is there to make sure he never gets the throne, and takes advantage of Thor’s absence. The movie therefore is a lesson in humility so that Thor might find his place and stop his brother’s plot.<br /><br />What I liked about the movie was that it wasn’t afraid to make fun of the God of Thunder. For example, when he’s on Earth Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) is looking for him, backs up her jeep and runs Thor over. Then he goes out to eat with Foster and likes what he’s drinking and smashes his cup on the floor and demands more. Finally, he’s looking for a horse so he goes to a pet store and asks for one.<br /><br />Like all Marvel movies the film is full of Easter Eggs. For instance, Foster gives Thor some clothes and there’s a name tag on the shirt he’s given that says Donald Blake. In the comics Donald Blake was Thor’s earthly identity. Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard) is discussing with Foster the appearance of SHIELD and says he knew of a scientist who worked on Gamma radiation, SHIELD showed up, and he disappeared. That’s a reference to Bruce Banner who is the Hulk. The movie had the first appearance of Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) who would later join the Avengers.<br /><br />This was a very good start to the Thor character with drama, action, and a tale of how to be humble<br />C

Jim Carrey plus the Farrelly brothers equals a funny movie
Me, Myself & Irene was another funny comedy when Jim Carrey was in his prime and was directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly. That’s shown in the opening scene where he gets into a fight with his chauffeur who happens to be a small person. The chauffer then has sex with his new wife and they end up with three black kids and his wife later leaves Carrey for the driver. This is the kind of story that the Farrellys were known for.<br /><br />This was actually when the brothers had started to calm down. They didn’t try to put jokes into every single scene and while there were definitely some over top moments they were in the minority. They also threw in a very dysfunctional love story between Carrey and Renee Zellweger.<br /><br />Shout outs also go to Carrey’s three sons who were foul mouthed geniuses who had a lot of great scenes.<br />C

Pretty routine RockNRoll story except Gallagher Bros came from an abusive family
The brothers Liam and Paul Gallagher formed Oasis. As one said that was the power of the band and also what destroyed it. The documentary goes in chronological order. Thankfully it doesn’t use one talking head after another. It has interviews with the band members and the Ghallagher mother over footage and pictures. The one interesting insight I learned was that the Ghallagher brothers loved their mom and resented their dad despite what they claimed because he used to abuse their mother. Otherwise their story is pretty routine Rock N Roll.

It's a big fun action adventure
Three treasure hunters Dirk (Matthew McConaughey), Al (Steven Zahn), and Rudi (Rainn Wilson) along with two World Health Organization doctors Eva (Penelope Cruz) and Frank (Glynn Turman) all find themselves in Mali which is run by a warlord General Kazim (Lennie James). Dirk and company are looking for a missing Confederate ironside with gold inside while Eva and Frank and looking into a disease breaking out in the country. As you can guess the two stories converge.<br /><br />The movie has plenty of action as Kazim’s men are after the foreigners. There’s chase scenes and gun play with some light moments thrown in as well. There’s also a mystery element as Eva and Frank investigate the outbreak. It even goes over the top at certain moments like when Dirk and Al create a land cruiser in the middle of the desert. You have to see it to believe it. It’s all a lot of fun.<br />C

Cops have to break the law to take down LA's top gangster
Gangster Squad is a neo-Noir featuring Sean Penn as real life Los Angeles mafioso Mickey Cohen and Josh Brolin the cop trying to bring him down. Emma Stone as the woman in between them. Brolin creates an anti-mob squad made up of Ryan Gosling, Anthony Mackie, Robert Patrick, Michael Pena and Giovanni Ribisi. Things start with a voice over by Brolin about the hard times of the city. He also plays the hardnosed detective fighting against the odds. Both are Noir tropes.<br /><br />I wasn’t so sure about Penn as the gangster boss but then he gives a speech about Manifest Destiny and Los Angeles being his destiny and I was sold. Some things get oversold however like when Gosling gets angry at Penn. The music rises to a crescendo like it’s going to be a massive scene when it’s not. They do that some other times as well. It’s also interesting that nothing Brolin does is legal with the argument that you need fire to beat fire.<br /><br />Overall Gangster Squad is a good crime thriller. There’s plenty of action although it has some flaws.

THE best of this run of Batman films with a dark plot and focus on the villains
Tim Burton and Michael Keaton returned for the Batman sequel. Burton went even further into the Batman lore with Danny DeVito as the Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. Added to that was Christopher Walken as corrupt businessman Max Shreck.<br /><br />As soon as you see the film it has the look and mood of a Burton film with the dark imagery. There’s also a cartoonish character that was also a Burton hallmark. Thankfully it doesn’t go as far as the first release which reminded me of the Batman TV show with the action and the villains often being comedic.<br /><br />The story is all about the villains. The Penguin and Catwoman were two people shunned by society and sought revenge as a result. Penguin was thrown out because of his looks while Catwoman was not considered important because she was a woman. That led to a much darker tone then original and I like that. It is far superior.

What a thriller!
This was an amazing adaptation of the 1960s TV show. There’s Doctor Kimball/Harrison Ford accused of killing his wife/Sela Ward. The one-armed man/Andreas Katsulas who Kimball searched after. Gerard/Tommy Lee Jones who was turned into a federal marshal and more.<br /><br />It has a beautiful set up. It starts off showing how much Ford loved his wife, then the murder, his conviction and then his hunt for the one-armed man. Ford is set up as a desperate man facing a huge loss. It immediately makes him a sympathetic character and is one of Ford’s more memorable roles.<br /><br />Jones is just as good as the other side of the story. He is as determined as Ford is and just as meticulous. They make a perfect duo.<br /><br />The movie has everything. There’s a bit of action like the crashing train at the beginning. There’s intrigue, who killed Ward? There’s a manhunt, will Jones capture Ford? Most importantly it’s driven by two impassioned personalities.

Based upon a truly tragic event
This film is based upon a truly tragic event during World War II when the USS Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese submarine and the survivors were left out for days in the ocean where they were attacked by sharks and the elements.

Great adaptation of Chester Himes' book about crime and innocents in Harlem
A Rage In Harlem was an adaptation of a Chester Himes book directed by Bill Duke. It featured an innocent God fearing man Forest Whitaker who is taken in by a grifter Robin Givens who is on the run with a chest full of gold. The question is whether she is a temptress or actually cares about Whitaker. The movie uses many themes and characters popular in Himes’ books about New York. That includes common, working class African Americans, the constant conflict between cops and criminals, jokes and his two favorite cop characters Grave Digger (George Wallace) and Coffin Ed (Stack Pierce). It’s a fun combination. It’s also remarkable that the movies that have been based upon Himes’ work have all come out good.

Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder are a classic comedy duo
Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder were one of my favorite comedic duos in the movies when I was growing up. I hadn’t seen See No Evil, Hear No Evil before but as soon as it opened the chemistry between the two started working. Wilder is deaf and starts yelling at a delivery man and Pryor who is blind thinks he’s being yelled at and challenges Wilder to a fight. That just begins the fun in this film. I laughed out loud which doesn’t often happen. There’s both jokes and physical comedy. Seeing the two work together overcame the ridiculous plot.

Another ridiculous Stray Cat Rock movie with barely a plot to keep it going
Bikers, knife fights, gangs, pop and rock music mixed in with a Japanese nationalist group talking about instilling the samurai way and living to die and you have Stray Cat Rock Delinquent Girl Boss. Stray Cat Rock was a series of girl gang movies released by Nikkatsu studios in the 1960s-70s featuring Meiko Kaji.<br /><br />The problem with all the releases was that they only had the loosest of stories that barely held together. Here Meiko’s gang hooks up with a masculine biker girl and have a feud with another girl gang that’s connected to a male gang that’s backed by the nationalists. If that all sounds ridiculous that’s because it is. Like all the movies in this series it just seems like the writers just threw a bunch of things together not caring whether they worked or not.

Doesn't add up to the great 60s TV show
Watching Batman after school was one of my great joys when I was a kid. The show was fun and campy. You would think they would be able to create that same vibe with the film but it didn’t really work.<br /><br />The story itself is about Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin trying to stop the combined criminality of the Joker/Cesar Romero, Cat Woman/Lee Meriwether, the Penguin/Burgess Meredith and the Riddler/Frank Gorshin.<br /><br />The fault lay in the writing that didn’t let the villains get their due time to add their quirkiness that was a mainstay of the show. Instead it spent a lot of time on West and Meriwether romance. I have to say this was a disappointment.

This is a wonderful take off of the Punch & Judy puppet show. It’s set in medieval times where Judy/Mia Wasikowska and Punch/Damon Herriman are puppeteers with Judy being the responsible one and Punch the opposite.

Chi McBride was great but the jokes were lackluster
Let’s Go To Prison is a middling comedy. It’s about Dax Shepard attempting to get revenge upon the son of the judge, Will Arnett, who sent him to prison multiple times. Arnett gets sent to prison so Shepard decides to join him to torture his soul. I appreciated some of the comedic situations like Shepard paying people in cigarettes to punch Arnett every day, but I never really laughed. The person I liked the most was actually Chi McBride as a kinder, gentler prison mate. He steals every scene he’s in.

How humanity could outlast the Holocaust
You would never know what this movie is about from the first half. The start is all romance and comedy as Roberto Benigni is a jokester and romantic who falls for Nicoletta Braschi. In the 2nd half they and their young son are taken away by the Nazis to a concentration camp. It’s so bitter sweet to watch him trying to sugar coat what’s happening to them to his son. It’s such a contrast in parts it’s hard to believe it’s the same movie. One moment you’re watching Benigni profess his love to Braschi the next she learns that the Germans are gassing people. What’s amazing is that it maintains Benigni’s sense of humor and humanity all the way through.

The vision behind this film was better than the delivery
To tell you the truth I had no idea what Mother! was about until about half way through when I figured out the symbolism. The movie is about the failure of creation. No matter how perfect your plans might be they will never work out how you want. Thus things start off beautifully with Jennifer Lawrence in her home and then more and more people show up until it becomes maddening for her. This represents the destruction of the design. I appreciated the art of it but I’m not so sure I felt satisfied afterward. I ended up watching it just for the spectacle of it all but I wouldn’t recommend this film or watch it again. I think the vision was better than the delivery.

Good supernatural mystery but relationship angle gets far too much attention
Anton Yelchin is Odd Thomas who can see spirits. At the start of the film a girl shows up at Thomas’ house. He follows her to a man’s car who turned out to have killed her. Thomas confronts him and chases him down for the crime he committed. Things escalate when a whole group of people appear before him begging for his help while someone guns them down. That’s what Odd Thomas is about, whether he can find this killer and stop him in this occult thriller.<br /><br />The best part of the movie is Thomas using his powers to investigate all the demons he’s seeing. The story compares that to Thomas’ relationship with his girlfriend Stormy (Addison Timlin). Here the script has a lot of fast back and forth and attempts at witty dialogue between the two. They’re supposed to be the perfect cute couple that’s constantly disrupted by Thomas seeing evil spirits. It’s kind of a distraction.<br /><br />The spirits and mystery of Odd Thomas are all strengths. Thomas’ relationship got far too much play in the story. It’s still an enjoyable film overall.<br />C

Enjoyed the low brow humor
Saving Silverman is about Steven Zahn and Jack Black trying to save their best friend Jason Biggs from a controlling woman played by Amanda Peet. As she says Biggs is her puppet and she is his puppet master.<br /><br />Zahn and Black are both man childs and come up with all kinds of ridiculous plans to rid their friend of Peet. Add to that a special appearance by Neil Diamond and R. Lee Ermey as an over the top football coach. I expected nothing but it proved funny with its low brow humor.

Always like a good Nicolas Cage film and this didn't disappoint
Two cops, Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood, who aren’t real cops, they work in evidence, decide to investigate a case on their own and get into a caper. Wood plays the burned out policeman that just doesn’t care while Cage is the gregarious one. They form the usual odd couple. What’s entertaining about the story is that is just keeps on building and building in kookiness. I always enjoy a good Nicolas Cage film and this one didn’t disappoint.

Can a man with an obsessive personality get over a woman?
At the start of the movie it says that “This is not a love story” and it’s not. It’s a story about Joseph Gordon-Levitt who plays Tom and Zooey Deschanel who played Summer. She didn’t want a serious relationship, but he totally fell for her. The movie is about how a man with an obsessive personality deals with loss.<br /><br />The movie plays upon Tom’s obsession running into reality. When Summer eventually called it off with him his whole world collapsed because he could only think about her as his dream girl and not her as a real person. The question is can he ever get over her and pull his life together? That might sound very depressing and there is plenty of that in this film as it shifts back in forth between the 500 days that he knew her, but there’s also romance and some laughs. Obviously that means this movie isn’t for everyone because a lot of people won’t want to see a story like this but it is worthwhile.<br />C

Action sci-fi flick with Frankenstein theme about playing humans playing God
Alien Resurrection was the fourth in the franchise. This one played upon the Frankenstein story. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) was cloned by the military and the alien queen taken out of her body to be used as a weapon. Of course everything goes horribly wrong. Like Frankenstein the story was about when mankind tries to play god and mess with nature it will always come back to haunt it. No one can control an alien they just run around and kill a bunch of people.<br /><br />Resurrection tried to add some twists to the basic alien story. Ripley for instance was mixed with some alien DNA when she was cloned. As a result she could feel the aliens and called the mother her baby.<br /><br />At the same time the story was much like Aliens the second release because it was mostly an action movie with a bunch of aliens running around and the humans trying to escape.<br /><br />If not for the Frankenstein take Alien Resurrection would be much like Aliens a good but not great action sci-fi flick.<br />C

1 of the best adaptations of a Stephen King book
James Caan is a successful romance writer who gets into a car accident and is rescued by Kathy Bates who then keeps him captive. It’s based upon a Stephen King story about obsession and fandom.<br /><br />Bates does a great job with her role. She’s a nurse who starts out caring for Caan’s wounds and then has flashes of madness. The facial expressions on the two characters are great as well. You can see in Bates’ face that she’s not well just as you can tell Caan realizes he’s in a world of trouble just by the look he gives her. The story also keeps up the tension even though almost the entire movie is Caan and Bates talking to each other in one room. It’s by far one of the best adaptations of a King book.

So contrived its unwatchable
The plot of this is so contrived that it was hard to watch it from start to finish. It plays on the little guy who feels cheated by Wall Street and the fat cats and wants some payback. It just gets worse as the movie progresses such as George Clooney asking people on TV to buy a stock that just tanked to save his life to taking over his own kidnapping. Save yourself some time and don’t watch this. It’s that bad.

Another evil plot by the Manchus to destroy the Shaolin temple
As the title suggests this is another Kung Fu flick about the conflict between the Shaolin Temple and the hated Manchus. Once again the Manchus plot to destroy the temple with only a young monk standing in their way. The first 20 minutes of the movie are just the monk training which was a common trope in Hong Kong films. Things don’t really get going until the Manchus make their move upon Shaolin. The bad guy is pretty good and the fights are well choreographed making for a decent watch.

Only for true fans
Attack of the Monsters was the fifth Gamera movie. In Japan it was titled Gamera vs Guiron. Just like its Godzilla contemporaries the movie had become a full on children’s franchise. Two pre-teen kids are the main characters just like the previous film. They find a spaceship and take it to another planet where they find a monster and aliens. Of course, those are the bad guys and Gamera is going to be the hero. Like too many in the franchise this one focuses upon the human characters far more than Gamera. It’s not until the end where there’s the big battle that the big turtle really shows up. This was a fault of too many Gamera movies, which means this one is for the true fans only.

The story focuses upon how Eminem was going to overcome his daily struggles with work and family and get the confidence to move forward with his rapping skills.

Some great performances
Halle Berry loses her husband David Duchovny leaving her with their two kids. She reaches out to his best friend Benicio del Toro who is strung out on drugs. The story is about loss and love. It’s told in non-sequential order using a series of flashbacks and has some very strong performances.<br /><br />I’ve always been a fan of del Toro and he doesn’t disappoint here. He does great with conflicted and struggling characters like this. They don’t spend much time on his relationship with Duchovny but it’s still revealing. The person who actually steals the show is Duchovny-Berry’s daughter Alexis Llewellyn. She’s like the conscience of the family from saying “Meat is murder” to telling del Toro not to steal things for his drug habit. The plot is also surprising because you think it’s going to go in a very predictable direction and then throws you for a loop.

Big hit in the 90s but today is rather routine serial killer flick
Four high school friends Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Barry (Ryan Phillippe), and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr) are out partying one night when they hit and kill a man on the road. Rather than report it they attempt to cover it up. The movie is about fate as they have to pay for what they’ve done.<br /><br />The story follows a familiar path for the serial killer genre. The kids start getting creepy messages and mysterious events begin happening to them. That drives them to try to figure out who is behind things.<br /><br />What could they add to this tried and true formula to not make the movie routine? The main thing was the killer didn’t hunt them down one by one right away. Instead, he tormented the kids like stuffing a dead body in a trunk and then taking it out so they seem like they’re going crazy. Second, they made the killer a big bad fisherman. Yes, that’s right, a fisherman. They also dropped the Friday the 13th/Halloween type villain who walked as slow as a geriatric and yet was still able to kill people. The fisherman walked like normal people.<br /><br />On the other hand, the climax is kind of lame. Julie gets stuck on a boat with the killer but doesn’t want to jump overboard and swim when it’s right by the docks.<br /><br />Overall, this film was held up as one of the great horror flicks of the 90s, but today it seems rather run of the mill.<br />C

Touching story of a relationship thrown a left turn by a coma
The Big Sick starred and was co-written by Kumail Nanjiani and was based upon his own experience with his wife. Kumail plays himself as a stand up comedian. He has to deal with his immigrant family that are unhappy that he tells jokes for a living and is not married to a Pakistani woman. He meets Emily (Zo Kazan) and things seem like they’re going well when she gets sick and is placed in a medical induced coma. The film is about their relationship and the left turn it takes when she gets sick.<br /><br />One of the best parts of the film is highlighting the immigrant experience. Kumail for instance is in constant conflict with his family over not marrying a nice Pakistani girl. Every time he visits them his mom has a single woman come by. It’s so awkward especially because they give him a picture to remember them by. This is a typical immigrant experience as families don’t want their children to lose their traditions and maintain ties to their culture. The fact that Emily is white makes things even more delicate because he feels like he can’t introduce her to her parents.<br /><br />The other good element is the more difficult because it deals with Emily’s coma. The story tries to keep things light. Kumail for instance jokes with her parents that Emily is in a good coma compared to a bad one.<br /><br />It’s a very touching story with some laughs thrown in.<br />C

This is a remake of a classic 1958 horror film featuring Vincent Price. The movie maintains the original premise of Geoffrey Rush inviting a group of people to a house that’s supposed to be haunted. He does it for a stunt but finds out there’s more than he expected. I have to say this isn’t as good as the original. That one really created a mood.

A step into madness Also the greatest Marvel series ever!
Legion is pretty amazing because it never fell off in its creativity and originality. Season 2 was just as mind blowing as the first. Just check out the start. The opening says you are trapped within your own mind and that means you’re insane. There’s a man with a Japanese reed hat that covers his entire head with identical female robots around him that have mustaches. It’s pure craziness which is the main appeal of the series. It’s like entering a drugged out fantasy land. I mean there’s a dance off when the main character Dan Stevens runs into his nemesis the shadow king! There’s nothing like Legion and there likely never will be. It’s a must see show and the greatest Marvel series ever.

Highlights Mr Rogers' humanism and how he related to all people not just kids
These types of roles have come to personify Tom Hanks’ later career. It seems like they were tailor made for him and his persona. Mr. Rogers was a beloved TV personality in the 60s and 70s greeting kids in the morning. Hanks tries to capture the mood Rogers created and explain his humanism in a creative, innovative and unexpected way via a cynical journalist that wants to interview him.<br /><br />The movie begins perfectly with the Mr. Rogers TV show. Hanks walks into the set singing “It’s A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood” changes his clothes and then goes into his first segment about his friends in the neighborhood. The last character however ties into the film as he introduces Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys) who is a journalist writing a profile about Rogers. The movie uses Vogel as a foil to go into Rogers’ ideas on life and what made him such an effective TV personality. It presents Vogel as a troubled person that Mr. Rogers tries to help because that’s what his whole goal was with his TV show.<br /><br />Another thing the movie does a good job with is incorporating some of the elements of the Mr. Rogers show. For instance, when Vogel and his wife go to a wedding they use an animated scene of traffic on a bridge using miniatures. It’s a way to say that everyone is part of the neighborhood, that we are all neighbors that need to know and care about each other.<br /><br />I think the most important thing about the movie was that everyone considers Mr. Rogers a figure for children. He was dealing with all kinds of life issues that affect all ages however. There was a complexity to him that many might have missed and this portrayal brings that all out. Hanks does an amazing job and this movie will really catch you off guard with its emotions. It’s not just a film about a kids show.<br />C

Affirmation of black masculinity and sticking it to the man... Shaft He's a bad mother
You just knew Shaft was going to be something different from the opening scene. The camera pans down Times Square in New York City with all its movie theaters and then Shaft, Richard Roundtree emerges from a subway station and the wah wah guitar of Isaac Hayes’ theme song starts. Shaft is walking across the street and a car almost hits him and he flips off the driver. Yes, as the song would say “Shaft is a bad mother…” The movie was an affirmation of black masculinity and provided an African American hero when both were in short supply in a racist American society.<br /><br />Made by famed photographer Gordon Parks Shaft was not going to be your average Blaxploitation film. It was a game changer with its character and its style and its music all of which proved unforgettable.<br /><br />The film focuses upon Shaft a private detective who’s hired by a major crime boss in Harlem named Bumpy Jones played by Moses Gunn to find his daughter who it turns out had been taken by the Italian mafia who want to muscle into Bumpy’s territory. Along the way Shaft gets the women in an affirmation of black manhood that was derided and targeted by American society, he runs into a black power group showing the politics of the day, he gets to play action star as when he repels down the side of a building and crashes through a window, and he gets to punch and shoot whites which symbolically was very important for blacks at the time to show that they weren’t always just servants or slaves or Uncle Toms in cinema. This was what made the film so enjoyable and important. Shaft wasn’t just a detective he proved to be a hero and inspiration.

Jack Lemon is so beat down in his business he questions the American Dream
Save The Tiger is about the challenges to the American Dream. Jack Lemon owns a fashion line in Los Angeles that’s hard up for money after years of success. He is faced with the question of where he will get cash to keep his company afloat which turns into a moral questions as he contemplates some unsavory choices. Lemon is great as the beat down businessman. In one scene he tells his partner that he grew up believing in America but now there are no rules for how to do business. People do whatever they can to keep going. It’s a stark contrast between the dream and the reality of the United States. I’m not sure many would appreciate this film because of its down beat tone but I did.

Lo Lieh hunts down his former gang in this gritty 70s crime drama
Devil and Angel was a 70s Hong Kong crime drama. Lo Lieh gets out of prison and tries to hunt down the gang that put him there. Yes, there’s some Kung Fu but that’s not the emphasis. There’s knife fights, car chases, gangsters, etc. It’s funny because they used the Theme From Shaft as the opening song and they “borrowed” a bunch of other 70s American tunes as well for background music.

Kept it simple with a lot of fighting
Turning a video game into a full length feature anime movie is no easy matter. That’s especially true for Street Fighter that has no story. They just made a very basic script of a bad guy trying to recruit street fighters and the government setting up a counter force and the two sides fighting all over the world. To that they added a little sex and a fighter finding his Chi. Keeping it to mostly action was a good thing because it kept the plot going.

Joe is a doomed man
John Bromfield plays the doomed man in Crime Against Joe. He’s an innocent guy accused of a crime which everyone even his mother thinks he’s guilty of. There are some really odd characters thrown in like a very overprotective father who tries to keep his young daughter locked up in his house and an unlikely psychopath.

Joy of skating mixed in with racism and cities out to close the rinks
This is a documentary on the dying African American roller skating community. The reason why it is in decline is because so many roller skating rinks have been closed or they don’t welcome black people. There are rinks that say they don’t play RnB or Rap. Others that say you can’t have baggy pants. These are all code words that they do not want African Americans. One family drove out to a rink and were told they couldn’t skate because their wheels were too small. Then they found a white guy who had the same kind of wheels but they were still told they couldn’t skate. In Los Angeles a skate rink owner talked about how the police come out in force on nights when there’s a lot of black people. That same owner said that the city wouldn’t renew his lease because they wanted large box stores to bring in more tax revenues. You see the joy people have skating and then you feel depressed about the racism and the rinks being closed.

Pretty standard biography of Marley
This is another traditional documentary about Bob Marley. It mostly consists of a woman executive from Island Records claiming that she was behind most of his fame. On the other hand she does lash out on how Marley was commodified before he died and people around him did not have his best interests at heart. If you didn’t know Marley’s story this will tell it to you. Unfortunately his music is secondary.

Who can say what is living and what is not More importantly who has the right to say they should die
Blade Runner is an all time classic neo-Film Noir/Sci Fi thriller. The movie is about life and death. The Tyrell Corporation developed advanced robots called Replicants that are the closest things to humans. They were banned on Earth however and if they were found there then a group called Blade Runners would hunt them down and kill them. That poses the questions of whether the Replicants could be considered living beings and whether humans had the right to terminate them or not.<br /><br />The first thing that strikes you is the world created for the film. It was supposed to be Los Angeles 2019. There were huge skyscrapers everywhere. Advertisements were projected on the side of them and ships floated through the air with more ads. The population was a mish mash of all kinds of societies, cultures and languages. Dozens of movies and anime would use these images afterward.<br /><br />Second, the noir influence is apparent as the main character Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is introduced and he begins a voice over narrative of his thoughts and the story, a classic noir technique. The middle of the story is also like a police procedural with Deckard investigating his case another noir trope. Much of the movie is filmed with heavy shading and lots of use of dark areas, which again is like old noir movies of the 1940s-50s. Finally, Deckard finds out he’s fighting against the system which is determined to keep Replicants in their place, which again is what most noir stories are about, the lone hero standing up against an unmovable force.<br /><br />The story revolves around Deckard being brought out of retirement to hunt down 4 Replicants that were suspected of being on Earth. His boss calls them skin jobs, which Deckard notes is a discriminatory term similar to calling black people the “N” word. That points to how Replicants are looked down upon even though they are used for hard labor, soldiers and prostitutes by humans. It turns out that Replicants could develop basic emotions. That was perceived as a danger so they were only allowed to live for 4 years. That was the reason why the 4 Replicants came to Earth, they wanted to live past their time limit because they realized their mortality.<br /><br />There was an added twist as well. Tyrell developed a new kind of replicant that the company implanted with memories. That made them think that they were humans. Mr. Tyrell said the point was to make them easier to control. In fact, this opened up a pandora’s box. If they had memories and emotions who was to say they weren’t living? Also if they thought they were human then who could tell who on Earth was a person and who was a Replicant? Perhaps Deckard was a Replicant created to hunt down other Replicants? In fact, Deckard has an affair with the new Replicant Rachel (Sean Young) who is Tyrell’s secretary raising even more questions about the relationship between humans and robots.<br /><br />Overall, this is a fantastic movie with a great style, story and message.<br />C

Much better than Expendables 2
Expendables 2 was a real dud just remaking the first film. In true Hollywood fashion that didn’t stop them from making a third one. The idea was to add more action stars and more explosions. This time Wesley Snipes, Ronda Rousey and Antonio Banderas join the crew while Mel Gibson plays the bad guy with guest appearances by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, and Kelsey Grammer.<br /><br />The movie begins with a giant battle scene to rescue Snipes from a foreign prison and then some comedy which is well done. Afterward they ask Snipes why he was locked up and he says tax evasion which is what really happened to him. The jokes continue throughout which showed they didn’t take the movie that seriously.<br /><br />The story is simple. Gibson is a bad guy the Expendables have history with and they take him down.<br /><br />Expendables 2 was a poor attempt at a sequel. This one was better.<br />C

Failed satire of the suburbs in the 50s by Clooney and the Coen Bros
Suburbicon is a failed experiment in satirizing white middle class life in the 1950s. It was directed by George Clooney and written by Clooney, the Coen brothers and Grant Heslov. It starts off with the depiction of the American Dream in the white suburbs after World War II which it is supposed to critique. A black family moves in and upsets everyone. Is that what the plot is about? No, it goes into the trauma of a robbery of the main family led by Matt Damon and Julianna Moore even though you couldn’t tell it was a home invasion at first. Then there’s a love triangle with Damon and Moore who plays twin sisters. It’s just a train wreck of a script in its attempt to say that the suburbs weren’t what they were cut up to be.

Not your usual romance movie
Just Wright is about a three way relationship between Common who plays an NBA basketball star, Paul Patton who is a gold digger and Queen Latifah who is a Tom Boy physical therapist. The way it plays out makes for an unusual romance because it’s not boy meets girl, etc. There are ups and downs and indecision. It makes for a better than usual romance movie. There’s also a good dose of basketball thrown in which is always a good thing for me.

The characters make the movie
I thought I’d seen all of Martin Lawrence’s movies but then I found out about this one. This is a family comedy where Lawrence goes to a reunion and has to deal with all his relatives and his past, which includes a woman played by Nicole Ari Parker. It’s all predictable yet still funny.<br /><br />The cast has the usual mix of comedians including Cedric the Entertainer, Mike Epps and Mo’Nique. Michael Clarke and James Earl Jones are also included. It’s these characters and their interactions that drive the story. Lawrence makes fun of how big Clarke’s kids are while Mo’Nique does a play by play as the women at the reunion insult each other. Cedric the Entertainer was Lawrence’s childhood rival and that continues into the reunion. I enjoyed it.

A comedy-heist-Christmas movie?
I was drawn to this movie because if featured Nicholas Cage. It’s a comedy-heist-Christmas film all wrapped in one. Cage’s two delinquent criminal brothers Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz get out of prison and want to rob a bank. It slowly builds up and gets funnier and funnier. For instance, some gangsters kidnap Cage, Carvey, Lovitz’s mother and she gives them nothing but grief. You also get plenty of crazy Cage which is one of his trademarks as he yells at his brothers. Of course the Christmas spirit is also involved in the plot. That’s a lot to ask for combining all those elements but Trapped in Paradise pulls it off.

They ruined the ending
Three friends Matt O’Leary, George Finn and Danielle Panabaker discover a machine that takes a picture of 24 hours in the future. They decide to use it even though it could destroy their future, but I don’t quite understand why. Finn gambles so he’s hoping to make money. O’Leary gets to paint again but is that worth the risk? Panabaker on the other hand gets nothing.<br /><br />The pacing is slow and it’s really an interpersonal story about the problems the machine brings the friends. The pacing is also slow and things don’t really get moving until halfway through. It starts paying off but then goes too far at the end. That made it disappointing overall.

True war leader with a huge ego
Patton certainly has a memorable start. It features George C. Scott giving a speech to his men with a huge American flag behind him. He talks about how he wants to beat the Germans and that his unit will only attack. There’s also some foreshadowing as he says his men will never waver and be cowards in the face of battle. It then goes to a sweeping shot of Kasserine Pass in Tunisia, 1943. This created the themes of the film. That Scott was going to play a heroic figure, a real leader with a huge ego and that director Franklin Schaffner would use a large canvas to tell Patton’s story. Scott delivers a memorable performance. The movie is all about him. For a war movie there are few battle scenes however. His adjutant Paul Stevens however plays the ultimate butt kisser and is annoying with how cloying he is with Scott. It is a classic.

Alain Delon exudes cool in this story about an assassin
Le Samourai is director Jean-Pierre Melville’s stylized 1967 film about an assassin played by Alain Delon. The main exudes cool. He wears a hat and trench coat like he walked out of a 1940s or 50s American film noir. He’s calm and collected when he steals a car or sneaks around a nightclub to carry out a hit. He’s also meticulous about his craft which is killing.<br /><br />The story has two parts. First Delon plays a cat and mouse game with the police. Second he tries to kill the people who hired him because they betrayed him. Francois Perier plays the very smart police detective after Delon. Le Samourai isn’t an action flick but a slow burner. It’s well worth your time.

Ineffective ghost story that neither frightens nor gains sympathy
Dark Water was directed by Hideo Nakata who was known for The Ring. The movie focuses upon Yoshimi and her daughter Iku. The two move into a new apartment but it’s haunted by a little girl.<br /><br />Water is a theme throughout hence the title. The first scene is of Yoshimi as a child waiting by herself as it rained outside. When Yoshimi and her daughter go to see their apartment they walk through the rain. Then when they take the elevator up to see the place there’s water on the floor and drips of water on the ceiling. That all foreshadows what’s coming.<br /><br />The problem with the movie is that it’s not scary at all. It takes a long time for the ghost to actually do something and when she does it’s just not effective. It seems like the story was trying to gain sympathy for the ghost rather than shock the audience but it failed at doing either.

Condemnation of man's inhumanity to man
Children of the Damned was a take-off of Village of the Damned. Instead of evil juveniles however this time the kids who had super intelligence and were all connected to each other just wanted to be left alone. I have to say this is the far superior film. The mood and tone and how the story with the kids plays out is much better. It highlights the evil of countries who seek to exploit their resources, including children, for their own gain and the fear of the unknown. It really is a condemnation of man’s inhumanity to man.

Pleasantly surprised
8 people show up for a test for a job. When they get there it’s immediately apparent this will not be a normal affair. Most importantly they look at the test and it’s a blank piece of paper. They have to figure out what’s going on. That starts this mystery movie about deciphering the test and how to complete it. Each character has a distinct personality which leads to predictable cooperation and conflict. Despite that it’s still a very interesting plot. Most importantly they provide answers and an explanation at the end instead of making the movie all about the people and their exam.

Fun look at a man whose life was changed by music
What happens if you can’t really play an instrument but love music and bands? You start a record label and become a manager. That’s the basis for Creation Stories which focuses upon Ewen Bremner as the man that started Creation Records that featured bands like Oasis.<br /><br />I loved the start of this movie. The main character was a hapless teen who found direction with music. He used to listen to T.Rex and David Bowie but then the Sec Pistols forever changed his life. He’s in horrible bands. The story plays this for all it’s worth not being afraid to make fun of people in the process. There’s an element of surrealism added as well when Bremner gets older and more spaced out. It reminds me of my own childhood as I grew up a Punk Rock kid.<br /><br />I’ve always like Bremner as well. He’s got such an interesting face and he’s been in so many good films. He really made this movie work.

A church focused upon maintaining its power
In The Name of The Rose was based upon the book of the same name by Umberto Eco. It features Sean Connery as a monk who believes in logic and deduction as a kind of medieval Sherlock Holmes and his young apprentice Christian Slater. They arrive at a monastery for a religious debate upon doctrine only to find a series of deaths which they investigate. It goes from a murder mystery to a story about control over knowledge. The fact that this takes place during the Inquisition explains why this is so important. If you pay attention ideas and information are talked about almost from the start of the film foreshadowing the main point. Sherlock Holmes is also the best way to describe the initial plot and Connery’s character. Ron Perlman also stands out as a former pagan monk. Overall the movie paints a picture of a Catholic Church as a corrupt and cruel institution more interested in maintaining its power and the status quo than saving people’s souls.

A movie against war and one of my fav's by Miyazaki
Howl's Moving Castle is my second favorite Hayao Miyazai film. It has his trademark world of magic with a young character in the lead. It also has an anti-war message to it as Miyazai was outraged by the Iraq War in 2003.<br /><br />The movie focuses upon Sophie who lives in a town. Everything is normal until she meets Howl. They end up being chased by beings that look like their bodies made out of oil. Howl takes her walking on air. Later she’s cursed by Witch of the Waste to be an old woman. Miyazai was always great at creating a truly magical world full of the unexpected and great characters and creatures and this was no different. There are some real surprises as well such as in the English version the fire demon that powers Howl’s moving castle is voiced by Billy Crystal.<br /><br />Next is the message. Sophie’s country goes to war and demands that all magicians join. Howl refuses and says that any wizard that does will become a beast and not be able to turn back. That’s obviously a metaphor for people who believe in war. They lose their soul as a result.<br /><br />The characters are engaging. The world is unique as ever. The message is important all rounding out into a fantastic film.<br />C

A judgement on humanity
This movie has a very unassuming start. An old doctor talks to his son about Sidney Poitier always showing up at funerals unexpectedly. Nothing to write home about there. Poitier then shows up after the death of his sister and things slowly pick up and start getting really good. The movie turns to race relations in a small southern town. You have blacks organizing a strike, the local power structure, and of course the cops. Speaking of which Poitier became famous for slapping a white man in the film In The Heat of the Night. Here he does a lot more to a policeman. In the end the story takes what Poitier sees in the town and relates it to the world in the 1970s as a kind of judgement on humanity. You would never guess what Brother John has in store for you when it starts but it’s a worthwhile experience to watch it until the end.

Classic Vincent Price thriller
A black screen, a screaming woman, moans and sounds of a man walking with chains starts House on Haunted Hill. It was made by William Castle who was a true horror genius thinking of gimmicks to be used in theaters to make his movies a true experience.<br /><br />The plot is that millionaire Frederick Loren (Vincent Price) is holding a special party at a haunted house owned by Watson Pritchard (Elisha Cook). If anyone can stay the night Loren will give them $10,000. They quickly find out it won’t be a regular night as a chandelier almost falls on their heads. In another room there is blood dripping from the ceiling from an old murder. There’s a basement with an acid pit from another murder. The guests discover there are ghosts in the house as well as the owner Pritchard was all too willing to warn about. Of course there’s a twist at the end.<br /><br />There’s no real scary parts and much of it is campy fun, but the film does a great job in creating mood and suspense. That’s what you’re really looking for in a movie like this and the House on Haunted Hill delivers.<br />C

Struggles of parolees to create a new life after prison
Two Men In Town is about whether Forest Whitaker as an ex-con fresh out of prison can put a new life together. Brenda Bleythn is his parole officer and Harvey Keitel is the local sheriff that wishes Whitaker never got released. The movie shows all the struggles parolees go through from living in a halfway house to their parole officer going through their things to trying to find jobs and start relationships. On top of that there’s the temptation of his old associates that got him in trouble to begin with. The film is a slow burner. Whitaker comes out of prison looking like Malcolm X. The story focuses upon his fortitude and whether he can keep it together. Keitel’s character is a good man but he has it out for Whitaker. Blyethn provides a real subtle performance. Luis Guzman represents Whitaker’s former life and it’s always nice to see him.

Sudeikis and Brie make a believable couple who can't be together
Sleeping With Other People is a romantic comedy starring Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie. The two met in college and had a fling and then years later run into each other. They like one another but try to be friends because they have so many hang ups. The movie is full of funny lines and situations. I’ve always like Sudeikis and here he does usual fast talking bit. Jason Mantzoukas is Sudeikis’ friend and also has some great parts. Finally Sudeikis and Brie have a real chemistry which makes you buy into the story.<br />C

Gyllenhaal is a sociopath in this critique of local medias obsession with crime and violence
Nightcrawler is about a grifter Jake Gyllenhaal who finds the perfect hustle to sell violent crime videos to the media which is thirsty for death and destruction. As Rene Russo tells him her station wants well off white people being victimized by the poor and minorities.<br /><br />This is one of my favorite roles by Gyllenhaal. His character is completely socially awkward. He gets a crazed look on his face sometimes. He perfectly captures a sociopath. The lengths he goes through to get a story is what drives the film. His partner Riz Ahmed does a great job as well. Their performances are matched by the theme of the film which is a critique of local news content that wants to sell chaos for ratings.

He prowls the streets of LA by night…out to capture crime on camera. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a driven stringer who goes to extremes..

A journey into danger
News Of The World starts off a little slowly but then when it gets going really keeps your attention.<br /><br />It’s a road trip story about travelling into danger. Tom Hanks finds Helena Zengel who is a German child whose parents were killed by the Kiowa and taken into their tribe only to have her Kiowa parents murdered. Hanks is tasked with taking her back to the only family she has left which involves travelling across Texas where they run into one pitfall after another.<br /><br />Here's the one drawback about News Of The World you can predict what the end will be pretty early on. That being said this was a heartwarming story. Hanks was great as the surrogate father to Zengel. He was protective and he knew how to deal with all kinds of problems that came before him. Zengel mostly spoke Kiowa and went from traumatic child to being more confident and opening up. The movie also had good pacing. It knew how to build up the characters while throwing barriers in their way. Finally, the conclusion which you could see coming still put a smile on my face.

Love leads a man into the dark world of prostitution in London
Bob Hoskins gets out of prison and gets a job driving around a high end prostitute Cathy Tyson who he ends up falling for and believes he can rescue. This leads him into the dark world of prostitution in London. Hoskins is very endearing as a working class bloke who is completely naïve about the world he is entering but who does it out of love. Tyson plays a woman who is trapped by her circumstances being a sex worker. Michael Caine also appears as a crime boss, Robbie Coltrane is Hoskins one and only friend and Clarke Peters from The Wire fame is Tyson’s ex-pimp. This was a surprisingly good story.
