Endearing story of a man trapped at airport becuase of the bureaucracy

Tom Hanks is Viktor Navorski from the fictional country of Krakozhia. He arrives at John F Kennedy Airport in New York to find out that his passport is no longer any good and he’s stuck there indefinitely. That’s the basis of this comedy-drama as Hanks wanders around the airport terminal in limbo. His situation is made worse by the fact that he barely speaks English. Of course this is all played for comedic effect like trying to sleep on airport seats, dealing with immigration, etc. They really went all out finding situations to place Hanks in while he’s trapped at the airport. Bigger picture it touches on the ridiculousness of bureaucracy. Everyone hates filling out paperwork and having to wait at a government office. This takes that scenario to the extreme. It’s a very endearing story.

Usual women in prison flick Nothing special

Big Doll House was one of a number of exploitation films made in the Philippines in the 1970s because of its cheap production costs. This one was made by New World Pictures and directed by Jack Hill. It featured Pam Grier who also sang the title track. It was featured in Quinten Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. Grier is a bully in this women prison flick which were popular at the time because they had a mix of sex and violence. Big Doll House doesn’t really add anything to this genre that hadn’t been seen before. You basically know what to expect when you start watching it.

Ali always brings a smile to my face and that's what this documentary did

I grew up idolizing Ali. He was not only the greatest fighter, but he had the gift for gab and was a social activist. He was a man of his times. The title is deceiving because this is really just a documentary about Ali and that’s what I was looking for. The Dick Cavett show is just a vehicle to tell Ali’s story. There’s lots of talking heads praising Ali, but the joy comes from watching all the footage of Ali explaining his life, his boxing, politics, etc. It also deals with important turns in Ali’s life like when Malcolm X split with the Nation of Islam and then Ali’s refusal to be drafted into the army. Ali always brings a smile to my face and that’s what this film did.

Dystopian society on the brink

I wasn't that impressed with the 1st Hunger Games movie but I watched the second to see if they could improve it and they really did.<br /><br />Catching Fire does a much better job emphasizing the dystopian society the story takes place in. At the start for instance Jennifer Lawrence is doing a tour after winning the games and an old man puts up his three fingers and does a whistle as a salute to her and then he immediately gets taken away by the authorities. Another time Philip Seymour Hoffman talks about increasing punishments for the public and broadcasting them to intimidate the population and show the repressive power of the state.<br /><br />That's all meant to set up the story which is about a society on the brink of revolt and what role Lawrence will play in it. Of course they can't go into that much because she gets thrown into the Hunger Games again.<br /><br />That meant this movie took two steps forward from the first film and then one step back.

Health care system fails Americans

John Q starred Denzel Washington as a father pushed to the edge by the fact that he couldn’t get a life saving operation for his young son Mikey. The movie focused upon working class people who are living paycheck to paycheck who don’t have adequate insurance. It’s a story about the system failing people like John and his family.<br /><br />The villains in the film are the hospital bureaucracy and the company John works for. An administrator tells the family that their insurance doesn’t cover heart surgery. That means they will have to pay cash for their son’s care which they don’t have. The alternative is to just let their son die. Then John’s work tells him that because they cut his hours and they changed insurance they won’t cover Mikey’s health care. That forces the family to go to government agencies and the insurance company and they get denied over and over. This is the system failing the family.<br /><br />The movie of course goes to the extreme with John’s actions but it highlights the health care crisis that America faced at the time. Denzel provides another great performance and the ending is a gut wrencher. Combined with the message that made John Q one hell of a movie.<br />C

Great start with Neeson in a thriller on a train but then the end ruins everything

Put Liam Neeson in a thriller on a train that’s basically the entire premise of The Commuter. Even better he was mad before he got on the train having just been fired from his corporate job. Then his wife calls him saying that he has to go to the bank and refinance his loan so that they can pay for their kid’s college tuition. Then when he’s heading home he’s approached by Vera Farmiga who asks him to find the person on the train that doesn’t belong and he’ll get $100,000. To add to the mystery Neeson is told people are watching him to make sure he completes his task and threaten his wife as well. That’s the good part. The problem was the writers couldn’t just stick to Neeson looking for someone on the train they had to add a big huge giant ending that became ridiculous. Very formulaic and the types of parts that Neeson has unfortunately been increasingly typecast for.<br />C

Great to see Jimmy Yang get his own comedy special.

Another Wong Kar Wai film about his fav topic Love

Chungking Express was Wong Kar Wai’s big hit that got him international attention. It focused upon his favorite topic: love.<br /><br />There were two stories in the film.<br /><br />The first is about a hopeless romantic He Qiwu (Takeshia Kaneshiro) who can’t get over his girlfriend leaving him until he meets a mysterious woman (Brigitte Lin) for one night that re-affirms his belief that he would find someone else. The second is a fantasy affair between a cop played by Tony Leung and a coy woman played by Faye Wong that goes to his apartment without him knowing it. That one is really cute. Leung talks to all his possessions in the house like to his rag which he says is crying when its dripping water after he uses it. It’s a comment about how lonely he is. The best part is when they run into each other by accident in the apartment. It's really funny.<br /><br />The movie only hints at the visual style that Wong would develop in later films. What’s consistent is his theme of love. If you like Wong’s other releases you’ll like this one as well.<br />C

They live with other like-minded people who are like a tribe separated from the rest of society.<br /><br />Wallis plays a great character. She’s full of spirit and fight.

Not a bad fantasy flick but it doesn't compare to the Schwarzenegger original

Conan The Barbarian was a new take on the character created in the 1930s by Robert E. Howard. It had a lot to live up to as the original one by Arnold Schwarzenegger is considered a fantasy classic. The theme of this film is Conan’s rise as a great warrior.<br /><br />If you’ve seen the original Schwarzenegger Conan it is impossible not to compare the two movies. This version had a lot more money for sets and extras. The destruction of Conan’s village for instance was a huge production compared to the original which only had about 10 warriors in the attack. Jason Momoa as Conan also had no real accent so the writers and director gave him actual dialogue throughout the film versus Schwarzenegger who might have only had 10 lines because Universal Pictures didn’t believe his Austrian tinted English would be understandable. On the other hand, the original had a much better and believable setting and mood. The world created in the Schwarzenegger version looked like an ancient one with a harsh environment that would shape warriors like Conan. The newer one fails in those regards. The two films also had the same theme about how Conan found his path towards being a hero. Again, the new version was lacking.<br /><br />Overall, Conan is not a bad film. It’s a decent fantasy flick. It’s just that it has to face up to a much better original production.<br />C

Conflict between homesteaders and rachers can only be resolved through killing

The start of Shane contrasts the loner gun fighter Alan Ladd with a homesteading family led by Van Heflin. At every little noise Ladd goes for his gun showing the danger of his lifestyle. He seems completely out of place taking up the domestic life with Van Heflin and company. The story presents an interesting dilemma for Ladd. Will he become a farmer like Van Heflin but that means being victimized by a large rancher or will he rise to the occasion and become a gun fighter again and kill all the bad guys. You can see why it’s a classic with the underdog story and the cute little kid. I don’t think anyone remembers it as a class conflict between the aspiring middle class versus the rich with the struggle decided by killing people.

Too many annoying moments by Adam Sandler

Adam Sandler starts off Billy Madison using that little kids voice that I really hate. Thank God he didn’t use it throughout the film otherwise I would’ve turned it off. The story is about Sandler trying to redeem himself in the eyes of his dad so that he can inherit the family business. In order to do that he has to finish his education starting with 1st grade. Sandler likes being a manchild so this seemed a natural choice. This allows Sandler to do all kinds of goofy things like playing dodge ball, taking part in a spelling bee, etc. The theme of course is that Sandler has to grow up. The movie has its moments but overall this is the kind of Sandler movie that annoys me more than entertains.

Four couples trying to save their marriages

Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married was a variation of Perry’s themes he’d been playing with since before he started making movies. The film follows four couples that are all having problems mostly related to infidelities. Tasha Smith provides the comedy that would usually been done by Perry as Madea. She’s a loud talker who lays done some great insults left and right. God is just around the corner such as when Jill Scott prays to him so that she can save her marriage. The story is about whether the couples can work out their relationships or not another mainstay in Perry’s films. Out of the ensemble cast Scott is by far the most sympathetic for all she went through at the hands of her husband Richard Jones. He on the other hand is the biggest jerk. Most of the others are pretty melodramatic.

Nick isn't the walking target you think he is

When Nick gets released from prison the warden says he’s not your usual ex-con he’s a walking target. The story is really interesting because it doesn’t turn out how you think. At the start he’s got his girlfriend, his best friend and the cops all breathing down his throat and his hot headed on top of that. It seems like a set up. The twist is Nick isn’t who you think he is. Prison actually changed him. Of course the question is whether he can escape being a walking target. That makes this a superior crime drama.

When Otis Redding gave the Hippie crowd some Soul

Otis Redding performing at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival in California was considered a major breakthrough for him. Before he’d played on the Chitlin circuit to segregated black clubs. Now he was playing for a mostly white audience and they loved him. He had ample backing from Booker T. and the M.G.s’ the Stax Studio band. It was definitely a change from the mostly Hippie Rock acts that dominated the festival that year.<br /><br />Redding’s set was amazing. He was a big powerful man and he put all of that into his performance. He played fast tunes and then brought it down only to bring it back up again.

This is a great spoof of action flicks

I knew nothing about this movie other than it was a comedy. It turned out to be a real laugh as the perfect spoof of the action genre. That started with some great writing. They knew exactly what to make fun of like Channing Tatum being like Fabio who graced the covers of Sandra Bullock’s books or Brad Pitt as a ninja type character. They also had Bullock and Tatum actually progress in the story instead of maintaining their stereotypical roles. Definitely entertaining and glad I watched it.

Story is mediocre Fights aren't dynamic

The story is mediocre. The action isn’t flowing nor dynamic. This was before Jackie Chan turned towards comedy.

Better than the Toby Maguire Spider Mans

I think the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man series did some things better than the Tobey Maguire version. First it captured the smart aleck attitude of Peter Parker from the comics. I liked the relationship with Aunt May better as Garfield and Sally Field were always bickering with each other rather than the Maguire version where she was like a grandma. One of my main complaints about the Maguire films was that they dragged out the love story scenes so much they became a distraction. Here they were usually short and sweet. My major problems with Amazing Spider Man 2 were with the bad guys. First the Green Goblin’s face looked like an Orc from the Lord of the Rings. Second they turned Rhino into a giant armored suit with machine guns and rockets. Ridiculous. Still I would take this movie over the Maguire films.

Made for TV feature was as good if not better than most B-movies of the 70s

This was one of those movies I used to watch on TV during the weekends when I was a little kid. It has a great start talking about how gargoyles were the children of the Devil meant to conquer the Earth from humans. The story revolves around a demonologist Dr. Mercer Boley (Cornel Wilde) and his daughter Diana (Jennifer Salt) stumbling upon a den of gargoyles in New Mexico.<br /><br />The movie gets right down to business with the gargoyles terrorizing the Boleys. That creates the initial tension. They’re not shown much at first, but when they are the head gargoyle looks amazing. It was quite a make-up job with his face and wings. There are some great close-ups of him in slow motion as well that accentuate the evil.<br /><br />Gargoyles was a made for TV feature but it’s just as good as any B-movie of the period. In fact it’s better than a lot of them.<br />C

The zombie apocalypse hits ancient Korea

In Rampant the zombie apocalypse started a little early this time in ancient Korea. Mixed in with that is a plot against the Korean king. Hyun Bin is the lead as a prince who seems like he cares for nothing but actually has a heart. Of course once things get going all that really matters is the zombies and the humans desperately trying to fight them off. Pretty good use of a period piece to give a new twist on the undead.

I laughed out loud

Meet The Fockers is a fun family film. What surprised me was that they got Barbara Streisand to play Ben Stiller’s mom. The story follows a familiar path. Two families who are polar opposites get together. Robert De Niro is the uptight control freak. Dustin Hoffman and Streisand are the free spirits. They tried to put one funny moment in each scene and it really worked. It was easy because they made De Niro such a curmudgeon it was easy to create comedic moments. I laughed out loud.

Moving story that will hit you in the gut

Night Comes On is a very powerful story. It’s full of pain, loneliness, and anger. Dominique Fishback just got out of jail. She can’t stop thinking about how her father killed her mother. Her little sister is in a bad foster home full of anti-depressant drugs. Fishback has been in similar situations throughout her life. On top of that she has no place to live and no job prospects. Her parole officer doesn’t care about her. Her life is compared to the families she always sees which reminds her of what she missed growing up. That’s a constant message in the film. The scenes between Fishback and her sister Tatum Hall can be heart wrenching at times. It also shows that their relationship is the only thing that Fishback really has left and might even be her redemption. Overall this is a gut punch.

Nice imagery and makes the queen out to be more evil than in the original

This is a new take on the Snow White story. It includes all the major elements from the original tale by the Brothers Grimm such as the evil stepmother played by Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna, her magic mirror who she asks who is the fairest of them all, the dwarves, etc. To that they add all kinds of new elements as well such as the queen having a brother Finn (Sam Spruell) and of course the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) who comes to Snow White’s (Kristen Stewart) aid.<br /><br />There are plenty of good elements to the film. For one it makes out the queen to be far more evil then the original. For instance she keeps her good looks by sucking out the souls of young girls. Another is that it has some good imagery. Snow White for instance gets lost in a haunted woods full of bugs and ghosts made out of mists, etc. In fact the entire look of the movie is wet, dreary and full of mud symbolizing the evil that the queen has brought.<br /><br />The movie turned out to be better than expected.<br />C

Horrible copy of film but above avg Blaxploitation flick

Richard Lawson is looking to get into illegal street fighting. He finds out that he has to deal with a crooked promoter and a cop played by Dabney Coleman of all people that all want a piece of what he earns plus betrayal. It’s not a bad plot for a low budget film. The fight scenes actually aren’t half bad either. There’s some really crummy editing however which is apparent during the opening when the title track abruptly gets cut off. The main problem with the film is that the transfer is horrible. It looks like it was made from an old VHS tape. The strength of the story actually puts this above your usual blaxploitation flick. I just wish it was a better print.

Story of son and mother coming together

Sharon Omi plays an overbearing mother that suddenly shows up and asks her son played by Teddy Chen Culver if she can stay with him because she’s having problems with her husband. That begins a period of transition for both of their lives in this family drama with some light comedy. The first part of the movie obviously focuses upon the awkward situation of a son having his mother stay with him. There’s the added dilemma that he’s gay and knows his mom is uncomfortable about it. The second part is about the relationships the two form both platonic and romantic. There’s some jokes thrown in as well. George Takai shows up at the end playing himself. I can’t help but chuckle when I see him. Overall Eat With me was a good story about mother and son coming together.

Endearing & funny story of a hopeless boy being directed in the right direction

I saw this movie as a kid and it’s still appealing today. John Gordon Sinclair is Gregory who falls for Dee Hepburn who becomes the only girl on the school’s soccer team. The film takes place in Scotland and is a coming of age romance as Sinclair has to figure out how to win over Hepburn. The problem is he’s a total geek. The story has all kinds of humorous moments from Sinclair putting deodorant on his shirt to Sinclair’s dad giving driving lessons to a man who almost hits Sinclair. Sinclair really capture the innocence the story was aimed at. In fact almost everyone in the movie except for Hepburn is presented as hopeless for the laughs. That means it takes others to help Sinclair go in the right direction. That leads to a surprise ending in this very endearing story.

How Joan Jett persevered

Joan Jett is a musical icon. She was way before her time creating the Runaways and then going solo. She was into cutting edge music of her time like David Bowie and then Punk. This documentary covers her story. It’s traditional with talking heads and voice overs. What I think is great about it is that it deals with the sexism of the music business and the challenges of doing something new in an industry that wants everything to be safe and the same. That led to plenty of problems with record labels throughout her career. The main theme is how Jett persevered throughout everything.

The ties that bind

This movie is based upon the true story of Boston gangster Whitey Bulger. It’s interesting because it’s not your normal cops and mobsters story. Instead it’s about how close the south Boston community was and its affect upon law and order. People who grew up together and were related to each other thought those ties were the most important thing and it shaped their lives in all kinds of unexpected ways. Johnny Depp as Bulger is amazing as usual. He looks saw calm but can explode in violence at any time.

Nazis attempt to manipulate the deportation of Jews

It’s the eve of World War II and Nazi Germany decides to deport a group of Jews to Cuba on a ship liner. The movie is broken down into two parts. The first is about the trip from Germany to Cuba and focuses upon mostly the rich passengers and the captain played by Max von Sydow. There were some much more interesting people such as two who were released from a concentration camp but they get short shrift. The second part is about how the Nazis wanted to manipulate the voyage. That involves propaganda, corruption, and human tragedy. I thought the plot was a bit up and down depending upon which character was being featured. The second half was much better than the first. The ending is very touching as the movie was based upon a true event.

Mixes style of a 50s crime flick with a Western

The start of this movie is like a 50s crime flick as three outlaws plan a heist by going through their responsibilities on a map of the bank they plan to rob. In fact, the whole style of the film feels like it’s taken from a modern drama rather than a Western. Gun the Man Down focuses upon James Arness attempting to get revenge on the men he did the bank job with who later abandoned him. I have to say I don’t think the film maintained the momentum it began with but it was still good overall.

Bruce Wayne's and the Joker's lives were intertwined from the start

Mask of the Phantasm is an origins story, a love story, and a story of revenge. It covers Bruce Wayne’s early life when he was just thinking of being a vigilante and his relationship with a woman named Andrea. Along the way it shows The Joker’s beginnings as well. The three stories obviously overlap as Wayne has to choose between being a crime fighter and his feeling for Andrea. Very well done as usual. I enjoyed its take on how the Joker got started as well. It highlights this his life and Wayne’s were intertwined from the very start.

B001P5QC1U

Best of the X-Men movies released so far

Days of Future Past is the best of the three recent X-Men movies. It was loosely based upon a 1980s comic where Kitty Pride was in the future of 2013 where mutants are being wiped out by sentinels and goes back into the past to try to re-write history. They flipped that for the movie where Logan would go back in time to stop the emergence of the sentinels and save mutants. Like the first in the series, X-Men First Class, this film has some subtle political messaging as well related to race, which was what the X-Men comic was originally about when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created it in the 1960s.<br /><br />The movie starts in a dystopian future where mutants are imprisoned and the X-Men are a group of freedom fighters battling the sentinels for their kind. The sentinels have come across the last of the super hero mutants who are barely holding on when Professor Xavier and Magneto send Logan back into the 1970s with the help of Kitty Pryde. That’s a great start because it features a lot of X-Men both new like Warpath, Sunspot, Bishop, and Blink and old such as Storm, Iceman and Colossus. This way it connected the current X-Men movies with the past as Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen returned as Xavier and Magneto respectively. That’s shown again at the conclusion.<br /><br />The heart of the movie takes place in the 1970s. Logan has to find Xavier and Magneto and get them to work together to stop Mystique from killing Bolivar Trask the creator of the sentinels. That led the government to accept his machines and using the DNA of Mystique were able to create super sentinels that adapted to mutants allowing them to hunt them down and kill them. As usual Xavier and Magneto are only willing to work so much with each other, and Mystique is a wildcard, which provides the tension in the story.<br /><br />The action is great as usual. Besides the opening scene with the X-Men fighting the Sentinels that’s continued at the end as well. There’s also Quicksilver taking out guards in a Pentagon kitchen which makes great use of special effects. Quicksilver puts on his headphones and then spins around the kitchen, knocking bullets off course, having the guards punch themselves, and even tastes some soup while he’s at it. The biggest however is when Magneto picks up RFK Stadium and drops it around the White House while he controls the sentinels.<br /><br />As usual there’s a bit of humor thrown in as well. For example, when Logan wakes up in the 1970s he’s sleeping with a mob boss’ girlfriend which gets him in trouble. When Xavier, Magneto and Logan confront Mystique in the 1970s Wolverine has a flashback to his own past. When he comes out of it he’s disoriented and doesn’t remember where he is at first. Xavier tries to console him by saying he took a bunch of bad acid.<br /><br />The underlying message of the movie is how the majority deal with the minority other. Mutants obviously have super powers, which makes them different, and people always fear differences. The solution in the movie was to police them with the sentinels and eventually wipe out the other as happened in the future. This relates back to the original symbolism of the X-Men which was about race relations in America. The X-Men symbolized African Americans and the humans whites. Could they live together as Professor Xavier wanted, or would they fight each other like Magneto advocated? Xavier was actually based upon Dr. Martin Luther King and Magneto was Malcolm X. Days of Future Past warned of how the government would deal with blacks by over policing their communities and imprisoning them. The War on Drugs was a perfect example. The message about race and America was apparent in the First Class movie as well.<br /><br />As usual there are tons of Easter Eggs contained in the movie. Trask for example is speaking with Major William Stryker, and asks about his son. It turns out Stryker’s son is a mutant who would play a prominent role in the X2 movie. Stryker himself was also a main character in that same film, and there are flashbacks to it contained in Days of Future Past. He ran the weapons program that put adamantium into Logan’s body.<br />C

Running into burning and exploding buildings

Backdraft was a new kind of action movie. It featured William Baldwin and Kurt Russell as Chicago firemen going into burning and exploding buildings. There had been other movies like this before like Towering Inferno but they didn’t have the special affects available to them to make it this dramatic.<br /><br />The story breaks down into 3 parts. First is the relationship between Baldwin the young gun and Russell as the grizzled veteran. Second is the firefighting. Third there is an arsonist running around the city burning down buildings.<br /><br />I’m a big Russell fan and he didn’t disappoint here playing a guy with a chip on his shoulder. Even Baldwin wasn’t that bad.

Just re-used all the ideas from the previous films

This was the last in the Bourne Identity films and saw the return of Matt Damon as the lead. Unfortunately, it was just a rehash of the previous movies. Thus Damon is once again trying to find out information about a CIA program. There are still shots of Agency people sitting in a dark room staring at screens and surveillance cameras. There is another female CIA operative who starts questioning her orders and sympathizing with Damon. It’s obvious that they ran out of ideas and makes me wonder why a fifth movie was necessary.

Great TV show from the 70s that stands up with the best like Ultraman and Kamen Raida

I never got to see Kikaida when I was growing up but I did pick up an action figure at a store back in the day. The story is about a robot who fights for justice against DARK. Like other Japanese TV shows this one had goofy looking villains called Dark Destructoids this time based off of animals like a mantis, a bull, a rhino, etc. When Kikaida was in human form, a man named Jiro, he also drove around on a motorcycle another popular trend in the 1960s and 70s. He would start playing a guitar many times before he appeared. The best part of the series was that it didn’t mess around with the stories that much before it got to the fighting. Kikaida had several different power besides just his fists to dispatch all the henchmen. Have to say it’s one of the better shows from the period and stands up to the best like Ultraman and Kamen Raida.

Routine heist flick

The Score is a heist film starring Robert de Niro, Edward Norton, and Marlon Brando. At Norton’s work he sees an old scepter likely worth millions locked up in the basement. He goes to Brando who plays a fixer who connects Norton with de Niro who is a master thief.<br /><br />Most of the movie focuses upon the planning for the robbery. This is supposed to create the drama. Norton for instance thinks he knows it all and blows off de Niro’s advice. Brando is a side character it most of this but it’s good to see him in this late in his career. On the downside Norton pretends to be mentally handicapped at his work and you can just tell he’s faking it badly.<br /><br />Unfortunately The Score proves pretty routine. It goes by the numbers of a normal heist. Even when they throw in the twist at the end it’s not surprising.<br />C

Heavy neo-Film Noir feel of the doomed man

Brian De Palma and Al Pacino were re-united in Carlito’s Way a crime drama where Pacino played Carlito Brigante. He got out of prison on a technicality and thought he could change his life and get out of crime but the life wouldn’t let him go. He gives a voice over commentary about his thoughts hopes and dreams as he finds himself falling right back into the things he hoped to escape. It gives the movie a neo-Film Noir feel of the doomed man.<br /><br />The first thing that stands out about the movie is Brigante’s friend and lawyer David Kleinfeld. He’s played by Sean Penn who has a receding hairline and a little Jew fro. He looks hilarious. He’s also completely crazy as well which is a twist because you expect Brigante to be the loose cannon.<br /><br />Second is Brigante. He is a complex character. He has passions, dreams and a conscience. That’s the main draw. He can see the path his life is taking and yet he feels like he can’t get off the train which again harkens back to the classic Film Noir.<br /><br />This is probably blaspheme but I would take Carlito’s Way over De Palm-Pacino’s more famous collaboration Scarface.<br />C

It's called a classic Film Noir but it's more of a melodrama that never seems to go anywhere

The Postman Always Rings Twice is a Film Noir classic. Lana Turner plays the femme fatale Cora Smith, while John Garfield is her luckless victim Frank Chambers. Frank wanders into the dinner-gas station that’s owned by Cora’s husband. The minute he lays eyes on her he’s sprung. He’ll do anything she says and she’s got plans, which is what a femme fatale does. They use their looks and smarts to manipulate men to do bad things. In this case she wants Frank to murder her husband so that she can have his business.<br /><br />The problem with the story is that the duo can’t ever follow through with any of their plans. They try to leave and then go back. They plan to kill and then when it goes wrong they don’t finish it. The story then takes a bunch of twists and turns, which are supposed to create tension, but they never really do. It just gets frustrating waiting for something to happen and there’s never any pay off. In fact, the movie turns into a melodrama more often than naught instead of the taught Noir it’s promoted as.<br />C

Akira Kurosawa's crime thriller but gets drawn out in 2nd half

High And Low was Akira Kurosawa’s crime thriller. Toshiro Mifune plays an executive at a shoe company who was trying to take it over when kidnappers tried to take his son but grab his chauffer’s child instead. If he pays the ransom his business plans are ruined. The police led by Tatsuya Nakadai try to free the kid and arrest the criminals.<br /><br />I was surprised to see Nakadi as an inspector because I’m so used to him playing deadly samurai. Mifune is excellent as usual. You can feel the tension in his outbursts as he has to decide between doing the right thing and making money. There’s a great scene where he tells the police and his wife he won’t pay for the release of the child because it would ruin his business. Everyone turns away from him as he goes on a rant. It's a powerful moment.<br /><br />Most of the film is actually a police procedural with Nakadi leading the investigation, looking for clues, etc. Sometimes Kurosawa went a little overboard being so detailed in these scenes. It makes the film feel dragged out in the second half. Interestingly it also talks about drug addicts in Japan and one scene the kidnapper walks through an entire area full of dope heads. It’s not something I’d seen before in Japanese cinema.

When the good guys aren't so good

Clint Eastwood definitely makes an entrance at the start of High Plains Drifter. He comes to a town, gets into a shootout, kills some men and then rapes a woman. The town impressed by his ruthlessness hires him to be their protector. The story is about why Eastwood was so bad and why the town needed help. The movie was directed by Eastwood and was a variation of the unknown man character that he created in Italy with Sergio Leone. It represented part of the wave of new Westerns where the good guys weren’t so good. Eastwood presented a strong story full of violence and revenge and stands up there with his best Westerns.

Good overview of the Pretenders' music

I have to say I haven’t really listened to the Pretenders beyond their hits. The first two songs they open up with just have some wailing guitar which I think actually distracts from the second song. Things calm down and the set is a good mix of upbeat and slow tunes, and yes the hits are included as well. It’s a good overview of the Pretenders.

A great real life coming of age story via dancing

Some of the elementary schools in New York City started a ballroom dancing program in the 1990s. This documentary covers three schools that were preparing for the city wide dance competition.<br /><br />The movie is very cute. These are pre-teen kids and dancing is one of the first time they are really coming into contact with the opposite sex. That means they talk about girls and boys a lot. Plus some of these kids are really good dancers. They have the energy, the enthusiasm, and the looks. The competition gets really funny and emotional at the same time. This all makes this a great movie about kids learning discipline, acting with the opposite sex, and most importantly how to dance and have fun.<br />C

Completley over the top and ridiculous story

Nicholas Cage plays a Las Vegas magician who can see into the immediate future. At the start of the movie he saves a cashier at a casino from being robbed and then escapes casino security and a high speed chase by the police. The writers took that and went completely over the top by having Cage pursued by the government who want his help to find Russian nuclear devices that are brought into Los Angeles. Then it gets sidetracked with a love story between Cage and Jessica Biel. Not happy with that they throw in some big action scenes as well. Talk about writers with wild imaginations who couldn’t say no.<br />C

Good mix of comedy and drama

Fuzz has a good mix of comedy and police drama. One minute Tom Skerritt and Raquel Welch can’t get out of a sleeping bag on a stake out. The next Burt Reynolds undercover as a bum gets lit on fire by two neighborhood kids. The cast was amazingly strong as well. Besides the three actors already mentioned Yul Brynner also starred.

Light comedy about how the Addams' enjoy pain and suffering and bad days

The Addams Family was marked by some great casting. Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston as Gomez and Morticia Addams are fantastic. They captured the hot and sultry romance between the two that was in the original TV show. Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester and Christina Ricci as Wednesday were other sly choices. Filling out the rest were Dan Hedaya and Dana Ivey as Tully and Margaret Alford who were trying to scam the Addams out of their money which is the plot. Without the right people this movie would not have worked.<br /><br />As per the TV show the movie was based upon the Addams Family. It’s a light comedy with plenty of jokes about them enjoying pain, torture and terrorizing the Alfords. For instance at their school play Wednesday and her brother Pugsley perform a scene from Shakespeare that includes Pugsley getting his arm cut off and blood spewing all over the first two rows of the audience. It’s hilarious.<br /><br />The film invokes nostalgia for those that used to watch the TV show and has enough to bring in a new audience as well.

Aliens bring King Ghidorah back to conquer Earth

Invasion of the Astro Monster was the second appearance of Ghidorah perhaps Godzilla’s greatest opponents. It pretty much covers what most of the Godzilla movies became about which was aliens coming to conquer the Earth with a giant Kaiju in tow. Ghidorah just looks so impressive and the amount of puppetry needed to make it work was amazing. The aliens are just as good plus this was the second film where Godzilla turned from the bad guy to the good guy. A true classic in Japanese monster cinema.

The oppressed standing up to their oppressors

Kundo is about the rich and the poor in ancient Korea. The decadent and corrupt upper class try to manipulate the poor for their own means but the lower class had their own ideas. It features a group of Korean peasant rebels that are like a version of Robin Hood. The film is very good with plots, action and even a little comedy thrown in. Even the soundtrack stands out because it’s a takeoff of a Spaghetti Western.

Old NYC vs the new Technology vs animals all told via monster wolves

It’s 1981 in the Bronx. There’s vast empty lots and abandoned buildings and a developer Christopher Van der Veer wants to renew some of the neighborhoods. He and his wife however get killed by wolves. Ex-cop Dewey Wilson played by Albert Finney is brought in to investigate. The symbolism of the movie is about the destruction of the old and its replacement with the new. Van der Veer represents the modern, and the wolves and the Bronx the past. That’s shown at the start when the Van der Veers are killed at a park dedicated to the original Dutch settlers of New York City. The developer has a Dutch name showing his connection with the history of the city, and yet he is committed to changing it for profit.<br /><br />On top of that there’s also another related theme about modern technology versus nature. Van der Veer employs Executive Security a vast company with files and surveillance around the world. The police also have a high tech interrogation process that monitors people’s body heat, and other indicators to see whether they are lying or not. That’s compared to the wolves who have their own infra red type view of humans that also shows their internal dynamics. The gist is that humans are attempting to replicate what nature has already created.<br /><br />Of course, Wolfen is also a horror movie and very well done. They use a great effect for the wolves using a camera shot at the animal’s level to replicate their perspective as they run through the city. They also add affects to give the wolves’ views of people.<br /><br />Overall, really good in both the horror and message departments.

A ruthless official and five devil monks cause a bunch of havoc and it’s up to a lovesick ninja played by Hiroyuki Sanada to save the day. The bad guys’ machinations and the action are great.

The Holocaust and postwar Nazi networks wrapped up in a thriller

The Odessa File was based upon a novel by Frederick Forsyth. The movie is about a West German reporter Peter Miller (Jon Voight) who is trying to track down an old Nazi Eduard Roschmann (Maximillian Schell) and in doing so discovers the Nazi organization Odessa. Miller finds that Odessa is a vast underground network made up of followers of Hitler that helped them escape Europe, but also set up new lives in West Germany by creating fake identities for them.<br /><br />The Odessa group didn’t really exist but the Forsyth novel and this movie highlighted that there were still Nazis who were helping each other, trying to cover up their pasts, and were still involved in government and business. This was something people were trying to forget or put behind them after World War II.<br /><br />The diary that Miller found also brings up the Holocaust and the Nazi crimes. Roschmann for example gives the argument that he was only a soldier following orders. This was how many attempted to justify the horrible crimes that the Nazis committed. The fact that so many people involved with this were still running around free never facing justice was another point the film tried to make.<br /><br />Overall, this is a very good film bringing up important historical facts within an interesting thriller.<br />C

How missing child case came to haunt a detective

Season 3 of True Detective recaptured the mood, vision and most importantly the writing of the amazing of season 1. This time Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff are investigating the disappearance of two children.<br /><br />The first thing that stands out is the imagery. In the first season for instance there were all these shots of rural Louisiana with the oil industry looming in the background. This time there are great views of Ali. For instance he looks at a photograph of soldiers from Vietnam wondering if they have PTSD and then stares at himself because he’s concerned he might have it too. One time when he’s older he finds himself standing at an intersection involving the case and can’t remember how he got there or what he was doing.<br /><br />Second there’s a looming sense of doom and darkness hanging over the story. In the initial series there was a growing sense of evil. Here you immediately feel that something really bad has happened.<br /><br />Third the story once again is character driven. Ali has always been a favorite of mine and he doesn’t disappoint here. It’s all the little things like how he flirts with Ejogo and is able to get her phone number while passing it off as police business. He also constantly loses himself staring off into the distance because this case had such an effect upon him. He feels the importance of it all which makes you feel the same way. The show is really about Ali as much as it is the case it weaves through his life from the time of the case into when he was older and was still obsessed with it.

West German horror flick right up there with the likes of Hammer Films

This is a German produced horror flick that really has its moments. At the start Christopher Lee gets a mask with nails inside place don his face as punishment for his crimes then he’s gruesomely killed. Another time a carriage is driving through a forest with body parts sticking out of the trees. Next thing you know the branches are full of hanged bodies. It’s moments like these that makes The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism a worthwhile watch. It isn’t always like that but it’s still a good movie.

Intently unhappy man decides to live vicariously through high school classmate

D Train is an offbeat comedy-drama where a friendless Jack Black sees an old high school classmate James Marsden on TV one day and decides that he will make him his friend. It turns out both are lying about their lives. More importantly their relationship goes in very unexpected directions and Black ends up living vicariously through Marsden. Black does a really good job playing a man who is intently lonely and lost even though he doesn’t openly show it. He’s really the focus of the entire movie and shows the range of Black’s acting. He mostly plays it straight but there are moments where his personality comes through. You end up really feeling for his character. Marsden isn’t likeable at first but shows some redeeming qualities at the very end. This is a really overlooked movie that more people should see.

Largely a re-make of Carpenter's original 1982 The Thing

The Thing was the prequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing. Yes, they both had the same title, not the best writing. That was the main problem with this film. The opening music was a takeoff of Carpenter’s. The Norwegians resort to flame throwers to try to kill the monster just like Kurt Russel did in the original. In fact, many of the major scenes are directly related to the first film. That meant this movie just boiled down to introducing a younger audience to what Carpenter did back in 1982. While it can be seen as an introduction to The Thing story it’s no substitute for what Carpenter did first.<br />C

Step above your usual 50s crime drama

Big House U.S.A. begins with Ralph Meeker kidnapping the kid of a rich businessman but that’s just the starting point for Meeker meeting a bunch of other criminals played by Broderick Crawford, Lon Chaney Jr and Charles Bronson. I liked the fact that the writers took this time to develop the story and Meeker’s character. The other half of the movie is about the police investigation. There’s a voice over by the authorities on events like many TV cop shows of the time. It’s definitely a step above your usual crime drama from this period.

What's it like being a struggling musician?

What’s it like being a struggling musician? This movie will give you a hint. Not being paid by the record company, sleeping on people’s couches, etc. It’s all there.<br /><br />Some things worked for this movie and others didn’t.<br /><br />There’s some comedy thrown in such as when Davis/Oscar Isaac makes fun of a kid’s name or a woman screams at him that her cat no longer has a scrotum. Those were good.<br /><br />Isaac was also a fine singer and I liked the music.<br /><br />On the other hand there’s a drive to Chicago and back seemingly on the fly which is supposed to continue on with Isaac’s problems but it just seemed excessive. If they’d gotten rid of that this would have been much better. That being said it’s still worth a watch.

One of the better James Bond inspired movies

A team of female assassins with a groovy 60s theme song? I’m in. The movie was obviously inspired by James Bond with Richard Johnson as the dashing lead who simply has to talk to a woman and she’s willing to jump into bed with him. He travels to exotic locations to find out what the women are up to. It’s actually one of the better 007 take offs that I’ve seen. It also doesn’t take itself seriously which is a big plus seeing as how the movie is completely derivative of Ian Fleming’s work.

Sex deprivation comedy and the Edinburgh police

Sex, deprivation, comedy and the police. That’s what Filth is about. It takes place in Edinburgh with James McAvoy a police detective plotting against his peers for a promotion. He’s full of testosterone as a result. He’s completely immoral and therefore perfect. There are some really comedic parts thrown in as well such as when he takes Eddie Marsan on a hedonistic trip to Hamburg. It’s quite a performance by McAvoy. He’s completely manic most of the film. You can see him coming apart at the seams. He comes to personify the title Filth. There’s also some surreal elements added in when he gets really strung out and begins seeing things. It all makes for a great watch.

Get to hear what Gnarls Barkley really sounds like

Gnarls Barkley was made famous by their hit song Crazy. Their real sound however was based upon slow, moody and emotional tunes. That’s what you get from this set. They even re-arranged Crazy so that it went with the other songs.

Dark comedy on the utter absurdity of war

Catch 22 was based upon the novel of the same name by Joseph Heller. It takes place in the Mediterranean during World War II and was meant to show the absurdity of war.<br /><br />The main character is Captain John Yossarian (Alan Arkin) who is fed up. His commanding officer Colonel Cathcart (Martin Balsam) is ordering more and more missions. Yossarian wants a way out. The physician of the unit describes the Catch-22 of his situation. He can’t claim he’s crazy to get out of missions because that would mean that he’s sane, and if he’s sane that means he has to fly. Yossarian isn’t the only one tired of the fight and they deal with it in a number of absurd ways. That’s the gist of the movie, how these airmen deal with the situation that they can’t escape.<br /><br />To get the feel of the movie Colonel Cathcart is talking to Lt. Milo Mindebinder (Jon Voight) about getting eggs for the unit by trading with the enemy and others. That includes taking all the parachutes of the unit for their silk to be used in the deal. While they’re talking a plane crashes and burns. Neither Cathcart nor Mindbinder pay any attention. At other times the film becomes surreal such as when Yossarian is in a fantasy sequence trying to apply first aid to a gunner in his plane who is wounded and then sees a naked woman asking him to come over in a lake, but he ends up drowning trying to swim to her.<br /><br />The movie is funny and quirky. Many times the dialogue is a play on words and reminds one of a Marx Brothers’ routine. It is extremely anti-war, and well worth watching.<br />C

Great writing and cast continues in season 2

Power and wealth leads to jealousy and betrayal. That’s the theme of Season 2 of Vikings. The series starts off right where it left off. There’s huge battle scenes. The Vikings are still raiding England. There’s still the conflict between the Vikings’ religion and Christianity. Most importantly the writing is top notch along with the ensemble cast. They add some interesting new characters such as Linus Roache as King Ecbert of Wessex. He is just like Travis Fimmel/Ragnar the main character leading to an important partnership and rivalry. Not only that but Katheryn Winnick, Fimmel’s wife has her own tale as she deserved. I can’t say more about how great this series is.

Believe it or not but I like Morris Day better!

Purple Rain is about love and music. Prince plays a young artist who wants to be on top. That position is held by Morris Day and the Time. He has to deal with his ego, Apollonia and his troubled home life. There’s obviously plenty of music involved. To tell you the truth I like Morris Day the best in the movie. His live show was great, I would put his Jungle Love up against any Prince song, and most importantly he and his sidekick Jerome Benton were always funny. That’s probably blasphemy but I’m sticking with it.

Great spoof of Star Trek

Galaxy Quest was a spoof of the science fiction genre, specifically Star Trek. Galaxy Quest was a popular TV series when aliens take the cast (Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Daryl Mitchell and Sam Rockwell) believing that they really were intergalactic heroes. The comedy comes from actors trying to be a starship crew and not knowing what to do other than repeat their parts from television. Rickman might be the best out of them because he is so cynical and jaded. The fans Justin Long and some of the aliens Enrico Colantoni and Jed Rees also stand out for being total nerds in a good way.

Great mix of childish innocence and horror

It was a great remake of the Stephen King novel. In 1990 there had been a TV show based upon the book, which started off really well and then completely fell apart. The film version really carried through King’s vision much better. It had a great mix of youthful innocence and terror.<br /><br />Director Andy Muschietti did a wonderful job mixing together the cast of teenage characters and their day to day lives with the monster Pennywise. The film starts with some horror as a kid named Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott) loses a boat down a gutter. When he goes to look for it Pennywise shows up and lures him into the drain to some dreadful results. Things then flip forward a year to introduce the main characters, which is a group of boys Bill (Jaeden Martell), Richie (Finn Wolfhard), Stanley (Wyatt Oleff), Eddie (Jack Dylan Grazer), Ben (Jeremy Ray Taylor), Mike (Chosen Jacobs) and one girl, Beverly (Sophia Lillis). They are concerned about bullies, girls, and playing video games. Their lives are very similar to another Stephen King story and film Stand By Me. The two stories eventually cross after each one of the characters is haunted by a vision created by Pennywise. He targets them, and they eventually decide they have to go after him.<br /><br />There are some truly scary moments in this movie. Most horror films do nothing for me because they are so predictable. Here there were a series of scenes that really freaked out the audience. I won’t spoil any of them, but every time Pennywise showed up was a creepy moment.<br /><br />This is the Special Edition so it comes with a second disc that has deleted scenes and other extras for those that really want to go into depth in the film.<br />C

Incomplete picture of what happened to Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame

Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife CIA agent Valerie Plame made a name for themselves during the Iraq War. Wilson was sent on a trip by the CIA to Niger to investigate a claim that Iraq tried to buy uranium from the country for its nuclear bomb program. When he accused the Bush administration of manipulating the story the White House launched a campaign to discredit him which included exposing his wife’s name which was classified. Plame on the other hand worked in a CIA investigating Iraq’s WMD. The problem is that’s what most of the public remembers. Most don’t know that Wilson didn’t disprove the Niger story as he claimed, and that he exaggerated his knowledge as well. Basically, Wilson accused the government of making baseless claims about Iraq and then made his own in response. I therefore had mixed feelings about this movie. Would it just present the Wilson/Plame side of the story or give it the nuance that it actually had, something Hollywood usually fails at.<br /><br />The movie paints a black and white picture. It portrays Wilson and Plame as a couple who did their job and were attacked by the White House because they didn’t follow the script about Iraq. It pits the small guys against the powerful.<br /><br />The start of the movie is quite good. It has Vice President Cheney ordering an investigation into the Niger claim. That led Wilson to go to Niger where he found nothing. It even has a single CIA analyst pushing the idea that Iraq tried to buy aluminum tubes to build centrifuges for its nuclear bomb program which was disputed. The film actually goes into some detail into both stories and a few others that actually happened in the run up to the Iraq invasion.<br /><br />Fair Game goes from there to the White House’s campaign against Wilson/Plame led by Vice President Cheney’s office. The two are portrayed as heroes. There’s one scene where Wilson goes on a monologue about how it’s up to the people to maintain democracy for instance.<br /><br />The problem with the movie is that it skips the part about what Wilson actually said. Wilson tells Plame that they needed to get their side of the story out to the public which was that the administration lied about Niger. That wasn’t true. Wilson said his trip to Niger proved there was nothing to the Niger story. The CIA actually thought his trip raised more questions then answers. Wilson claimed that his trip must have been reported to the Vice President which it wasn’t. Wilson later stated that he saw documents on Niger which turned out to be forgeries when he didn’t. What actually happened was that Wilson thought he’d refused the Niger claim when he hadn’t and then he exaggerated what he knew. Of course that wouldn’t make a good movie so it was left out. Fair Game therefore is an incomplete story.

Who are the villains and heroes in this tale?

Beowulf was a fantastic animated feature loosely based upon the classic Old English poem. Beowulf takes place in a world of heroes, monsters and magic. It poses the question of how far will a hero go for fame and what are the consequences?<br /><br />Beowulf arrives in the kingdom of Denmark to slay a monster known as Grendel who has been haunting the country. The problem is Grendel has a mother who offers Beowulf a deal that seems too good to be true thus creating the dilemma of what will happen to the hero if he accepts?<br /><br />The movie is full of action and horror. Grendel for example brutally kills several warriors and looks like a giant deformed child. His mother comes and hangs a whole hall’s worth of people in revenge.<br /><br />The animation is top notch and was originally in 3-D when it was released in the theater.<br /><br />The movie is most interesting because it raises the issue of who is really responsible for the problems in the movie? Is it the monsters or the heroes? Could it be the humans lust for power and notoriety that is really at fault?<br />C

Big disappointment Nothing in this film is scary

La Llorna is based upon a Mexican folktale where a ghost woman kidnaps children and kills them. The film is set in 1973 Los Angeles where a social worker Anna (Linda Cardellini) becomes haunted by La Llorna.<br /><br />The film begins with Anna looking into a mother for a truancy case. It turns out she’s been haunted by La Llorna and the ghost follows Anna home to terrorize her two kids. The problem is the movie just isn’t that scary. La Llorna keeps showing up at Anna’s house, popping up around her kids, etc. but it never gets creepy. What good is a horror film if you don’t get any kicks out of it?<br />C

The music business her dad and her husband exploited Amy & led to her downfall

Amy is a biographical documentary about the life of Amy Winehouse. It starts off when she was a teen and showed her early singing talent to her friend trying to get her into the music business to her rise to stardom. There’s also her personal relationships and how that led to her problems with drinking and drugs. Plus how the music industry helped lead to her destruction. The film relies upon interviews with Winehouse and her friends, along with personnel videos. The videos are the real highlight as they show Amy in her own element not sitting around talking to reporters or talk show hosts.<br /><br />Right at the start of the movie there’s a home video from her friend’s birthday party when she was 14 and you could already tell that she was a talent.<br /><br />Other times it shows that her boyfriends caused her lots of problems. After one break-up with Blake who eventually became her husband her friends found her a mess and wanted to put her into rehab but her dad didn’t think it was necessary. One of her close friends believed that was a big mistake because it was right on the cusp of her big breakthrough where the whole world would be focused upon her and all that pressure led to more issues. Of course that became the lyrics to one of her hit songs where she says she didn’t go to rehab because of her father.<br /><br />Later the film pretty much blames the husband Blake for her drug abuse, overdoses, etc. A drug counselor even said that he felt Blake was dependent upon Amy for the money to keep his habit going.<br /><br />It also shows how the music business contributed to her decline. She was strung out on drugs and needed help and yet they made her do concerts still and that included her father who was running his own side businesses to make money off of her daughter.<br /><br />Overall Amy proves to be a pretty depressing documentary about the rise and fall of a great singer.<br />C

Can't tell what story is about until 1/2 way through

Zorro was created in 1919 by writer Johnston McCulley as a hero who stood up for the poor against the avaricious Mexican elite like Robin Hood. In this 2005 movie adaptation Zorro was protecting California against the greedy. The issue was the story wasn’t revealed until half way through the film so viewers had no real idea what was going on at first.<br /><br />There’s a rousing start as Zorro stops a crooked American from stealing some votes. It has a nice mix of action and comedy. The problem is afterward the plot seems barely discernable. Who exactly Zorro’s opponent is or their plans are not revealed until the mid-point in the movie.<br /><br />That doesn’t mean things aren’t enjoyable. You get immersed into Zorro’s family and get the charms of Antonio Banderas’ acting. It just could have been better with more clearer writing.<br />C

Daiei Films never spent the money to make this franchise anything but kids flicks

Gamera Super Monster was released during the original wave of Japanese Kaiju films. The first couple movies had two defining features. First, they were completely meant for little kids. Second, Daiei Films never really spent that much time or money on productions like their rival Toho did with the Godzilla films which led to some very bad looking monsters that did not stand up to the test of time. By 1980 when this was released some of that had changed. They did spend more money so things looked better. Well, not everything but generally so. Still they cut some corners when they re-used entire fight scenes from the 1968 Gamera vs Barugon and 1969’s Gamera vs Guiron. That means overall Super Monster is better than the earlier films but still inconsistent.

Marvin Gaye had a lot of demons in his life

Marvin Gaye was an amazing singer but he had some real demons. The biggest one was his father who objected to his career from the start. Not only that but his dad was a preacher who beat him and was a cross dresser as well. Talk about a contradiction! Gaye was also insecure, paranoid and became a drug addict which made his life even more difficult. His story is conveyed in a conventional manner with lots of talking heads. One difference is that it used Gaye’s own words from his biography as well as some interviews with him. Thankfully there was plenty of music mixed in there as well. Overall this definitely gives you a different perspective on Gaye.

Investigating a bombing by looking back in time

A passenger ferry full of people blows up in New Orleans. Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Agent Douglas Carlin (Denzel Washington) investigates with the help of a special FBI team led by Agent Paul Pryzawarra (Val Kilmer). The FBI has new technology that allows it to see what happened in the past. Carlin pushes it to sending him back in time to look into a woman named Claire (Paula Patton) who he thinks is the answer to everything.<br /><br />Déjà vu turned out to be different from your run of the mill police procedural story. It starts off traditionally with the team going through a lot of video looking for evidence. Then it adds new elements like Carlin using a mobile camera to go out into the field and look at the past. Of course going back into the past made this a sci-fi type story in the second half. On top of all that there’s chases, gun play and action. It all proved very entertaining.<br />C

Lackluster comedy-crime drama

Taxi is a mindless comedy-crime drama. Jimmy Fallon is a NYC cop and Queen Latifah is a cab driver who make an odd couple. There are a couple funny moments like when Fallon tries to drive, which he can’t do, but much of the film is a high-speed chase with Fallon and Latifah going after a bunch of bank robbers. That’s not that interesting either. So you don’t have many laughs and you don’t have much drama with all the car work either. It’s not a total dud but it’s only worth watching if it happens to be on TV and you’ve got nothing else to do.

Great spoof of 80s horror flicks

Final Girls is part spoof and part horror flick. A group of young people led by Taissa Famiga go to watch an 80s slasher movie Camp Bloodbath and then find themselves inside the film. The added twist is Famiga’s dead mother Malin Akerman is the star of Camp Bloodbath. The plot device really works and leads to plenty of laughs. There’s also a lot of nostalgia for 80s culture like references to New Wave and George Michaels, and it plays with common horror tropes like all the people that have sex get killed and only a virgin can end things. I really enjoyed this.

It starts with adoring German crowds, Hitler Youth, soldiers going to war and Adolf Hitler that then transitions to war footage and then the German defeat.<br /><br />The movie featured James Coburn as Sergeant Rolf Steiner and his squad of German soldiers under the command of Maximillian Schell as Captain von Stransky as they fight on the Eastern Front. Stransky is obsessed with obtaining the Iron Cross medal and will sacrifice Steiner and his men to acquire one. James Mason as Colonel Brandt and David Warner as Captain Kiesel are more sympathetic towards Steiner and the foot soldiers. That sets up the tension in the film as Steiner, his squad, Brandt and Kiesel are just trying to survive while Stransky is a ruthless glory hound, and as it turns out a bit of an incompetent commander. The differences between the soldiers is shown right away as Stransky reports for duty to Colonel Brandt and Captain Kiesel. He tells them he volunteered for combat just to win an Iron Cross.<br /><br />Unfortunately for a war movie the film focuses upon the relationships between those soldiers rather than the fighting. Yes there are some action scenes, but the majority of the movie is spent on dialogue between the main characters as Captain Stransky hunts for his medal. That follows from the theme of the movie, which is anti-war. It tries to portray how men’s lives in war is just about living, while others like Stransky want to try to manipulate men for their own glory.<br />C

A woman willing to do anything to get what she wants

Too Late For Tears is a Film Noir about money and temptation. When Lizabeth Scott and Arthur Kennedy come across a suitcase full of cash from a criminal Scott can’t control herself. She tells Kennedy she grew up white collar poor which meant they were trying to keep up with the Joneses but never could. Her life with Kennedy was only a little bit better with debt and monthly payments. That’s why when she gets some money she wants it all for herself. What she’s willing to do becomes the plot of the film.<br /><br />To say the story is a bit unexpected would be an understatement. Scott turns out to have a driving ego that will not let anything stand in her way. She’s not the classic femme fatale either because she barely relies upon her looks. Rather she’s full of schemes. It’s a great performance and the reason to watch Too Late For Tears.

Zhao Wei's character ruins the story

Three is another crime drama by director Johnny To. It includes some of his favorite actors such as Louis Koo as a hardnosed detective and Lam Suet as a bumbling cop. Koo has this intense look on his face the entire movie. It looks like he’s going to pop a blood vessel. The story is about a battle of wills between Koo and Wallace Chung a jewelry robber who’s taken into a hospital. The problem with the film is Zhao Wei’s character. She’s a surgeon. She does things that just don’t make any sense. There’s a great slow mo shootout scene. Overall though I was a bit disappointed in this release. To is usually a much better story teller but here Zhao just ruins things.

3 teens get superpowers and one is anti-social Guess what happens?

Three high school students, Andrew (Dane DeHaan), Matt (Alex Russell), and Steve (Michael B. Jordan), run into a meteor that gives them superpowers. It’s mostly filmed in the handheld camera style that was such a trend in the past.<br /><br />The movie starts off with some light-hearted fun as the three figure out their powers. Then it becomes completely predictable. One of the three teens is a social outcast with a messed up family so you can guess what happens at the end. Not very satisfying as a result.<br />C

Ridiculous comedy based upon tragedy of a ping pong player

Balls of Fury was a comedy about ping pong. Yes, ping pong.<br /><br />The movie was based upon the tragedy of Randy Daytona (Dan Fogler) who was a child prodigy ping pong player. In 1988 he participated in the Summer Olympics where he lost his match and his father (Robert Patrick) lost his life due to gambling the mysterious Mr. Feng (Christopher Walken). That put Daytona on the slow track to nowhere. When he was grown up he was reduced to performing at a buffet in Reno, Nevada. That was until FBI Agent Ernie Rodriguez (George Lopez) tells him he’s needed for a secret mission to enter Feng’s high stakes ping pong tournament. To get him ready Daytona trains under Master Wong (James Hong) and his niece Maggie (Maggie Q).<br /><br />If that’s not ridiculous enough the non-stop jokes are. For instance, while performing in Reno Randy starts bouncing ping pong balls off a man’s forehead and he keels over and dies. Agent Rodriguez thought it was part of the act and laughed until the paramedics showed up. Later, Daytona has to play underground ping pong to get Feng’s attention. He takes on the master of Chinatown called The Dragon. She turns out to be a pre-teen girl who cries when Daytona wins a point, and then punches him in the nuts and runs off. Christopher Waken as Feng just takes it to another level. It’s this kind of low brow, slapstick humor that is throughout the movie.

Emphasizes the struggle the Tuskegee Airmen faced to be accepted

The Tuskegee Airmen was an all-black segregated fighter squadron during World War II which was trained in Tuskegee, Alabama, hence the name. The first half of the film focuses upon their time in Alabama and the struggle to be accepted by the racist American military and society. The second part is about their deployment to North Africa and Italy where they continued their struggle. This was an HBO movie featuring Laurence Fishburne, Cuba Gooding Jr., Allen Payne, Makhi Phifer, and Malcolm Jamal Warner.<br /><br />The movie starts off highlighting the segregated society the Airmen dealt with. When they reach a certain point they have to get off the train they’re taking to Alabama because they hit the Mason-Dixon line and the train becomes segregated. Not only that but their seats are taken by German prisoners of war. The message is that Nazis had more rights in the U.S. at the time than African Americans. That’s just the start as the pilots have to deal with racist officers and Congressmen all intent upon disbanding the unit.<br /><br />That’s the main focus of the film. There are combat scenes and they used real planes which was good, but also placed limits on what they could do. That’s the one drawback of the movie. I wish they had more combat because this isn’t just about social justice. It’s also a war flick.<br />C

Covers the UK response to Iranian embassy being seized Could've done more on motivation

April 30, 1980 six men seized the Iranian embassy in London and held it for 6 days hence the title. The group said it represented Arabs in Iran and wanted Tehran to release Arab prisoners. Iran said it would do nothing. The movie follows the event at several levels the British government, the police on the scene, a Special Air Services (SAS) unit charged with re-taking the embassy and a BBC crew that was covering the event. The Arabs however are given short shrift.<br /><br />The tension comes from what the authorities will do with the takeover, negotiate or use force? This was the first time England had to deal with such a situation in London so it shows the different approaches and how the government constantly went back and forth on what to do.<br /><br />Everything is focused upon the British so what goes on inside the embassy is hardly dealt with. There are a few scenes of the hostage takers arguing with each other and then a few phone calls to the police and that’s it. They get to say that their people are oppressed in Iran and that’s about it for motivation. It’s also revealed that the Iraqi government funded the attack.<br /><br />The movie has it’s good points like the tension and the eventual raid into the embassy. It could have done a little bit better on why exactly the people stormed the embassy in the first place. Obviously the film is supposed to be about how the British deal with terrorism so that gets all the emphasis.<br />C

The transitions between her personalities is seamless making it a realistic portrayal. What is a trip is that one of her main personalities is a racist aristocratic southern white woman who cusses out black people.<br /><br />There are some great scenes showing her illness.

Curse of the royal family of China

Curse Of The Golden Flower was another movie by famed director Zhang Yimou. The story is one of intrigue amongst the royal family of China with secret affairs and betrayals.<br /><br />When it came out it was the most expensive movie ever made in China. You can tell from the production value with the huge elaborate sets and the amount of extras. One of Zhang’s defining features was his stark use of colors. With so much money he got to go wild. At the start for instance, it shows the hallways of the Royal Palace which are lit up to look like a rainbow of bright colors. The emperor and the empress are decked out in gold. That compares to the army and the outside world which is grey and dark. The royal family got all of the light and color in life due to their power and wealth while the rest of the world was denied those pleasures.<br /><br />The story is very well written. The further it goes the more is revealed about how messed up the monarchy is. It’s obvious the title refers to being part of the royal family was a curse.

Hill talking about the pressure of fame was more memorable than the music

Lauryn Hill got broken down by all the fame she received and dropped out of music and everything else to raise her family. This performance at MTV Unplugged was supposed to be her return and she debuted all new material. She talks about the pressure she felt throughout her show. She goes through the overwhelming media attention she received, having a huge entourage, the stifling of her creativity, her questioning of herself, and more. That’s actually what’s most memorable about the show because the music I have to say was mostly just okay. Hill’s voice is amazing but I’m not sure whether any of the songs she played would be a hit. Of course, it’s impossible to tell because this is just Hill and an acoustic guitar. Some drums, bass, back-up singers and production can do wonders. On the other hand, I didn’t hear many hooks. Still it was good to see her after her self-imposed exile.

Should have been titled Sir Walter Raleigh because that's what it's actually about

This was the sequel to Elizabeth and saw Cate Blanchette return as Queen Elizabeth I. The movie takes place thirty years later when England and Spain were in the midst of a struggle for power. This of course culminates with the Spanish Armada attacking England.<br /><br />Given that intro you would think this would be almost like the first film with plenty of political plots. What the movie actually starts off with is the adventure and stories of Sir Walter Raleigh (Clive Owen) who just returned from America where he founded the colony of Virginia. His tales and character capture the imagination of the queen. That part of the movie starts off interesting and then goes on to long. Thankfully there’s intrigue and the Spanish otherwise this movie should have been titled Sir Raleigh.<br />C

Great stories Great music Marred by the male fantasies of women

Heavy Metal was an animated sci-fi-fantasy-horror movie based upon the magazine of the same name. It included several different tales dealing with a variety of topics from femme fatales to aliens coming to Earth. Many of the stories are based upon male fantasies featuring beautiful women, lots of nudity and sex. Most of them are pretty good. The movie also featured a great soundtrack with some top Rock and Metal tunes.<br /><br />The first story for example is a takeoff of Film Noir. A cabby named Harry finds a beautiful woman who is being chased by mobsters and the police. The woman is manipulating him and Harry does a voice over all common tropes of Noir.<br /><br />It’s a really great collection and the music really stands out.

Woman that loves sushi and sushi that will kill you

Dead Sushi is part food film, part action, part comedy, and part horror. It features Rina Takeda who desperately wants to be a sushi chef. In one scene she tears apart a sushi chef for looking down upon his customers, calls a group of businesspeople fake connoisseurs who claim to know food but don’t, and then beats them all up. It’s even more ridiculous than that with a mad scientist who brings sushi back to life. Completely over the top. It does sort of lose its charm eventually but it’s still a lot of fun. I enjoy watching Takeda. She’s got an innocence about her plus she’s a real life black belt.

Mixes HP Lovecraft with the Counterculture

Dunwich Horror mixes the original H.P. Lovecraft source material with 60s counterculture.

Dean Stockwell is the other main character and he talks about free sex, another reference to the times. He actually wants to gain control of the famed Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead, and release beings from another dimension. For the time it does a good job portraying the monsters.

Pretty amazing story of a daughter dealing with her mother's fame & health issues

X-Ray Spex is one of my favorite Punk bands so I was excited when I heard this documentary was coming out. The movie is about Celeste Bell not only dealing with the legacy of her famous mother Polly Styrene/Marianne Elliott but her mental health issues which made her childhood very, very difficult. The start is very emotional as Celeste talks about her mother’s funeral. It then goes into Elliott’s childhood where she faced a lot of problems being a biracial child in England. The doc has plenty of interviews but thankfully it doesn’t do the traditional talking head after talking head. Instead it has the voices played over images and video. It’s great to see what a genius Elliott was with her poetry and creating her own band and brand/image. It came to overwhelm her and probably exacerbated her mental issues. Celeste’s story is also very touching. There’s plenty of home videos of Elliott and lots of X-Ray Spex music. It makes for a pretty amazing story.

Good dystopian story but there is some bad writing thrown in there

I Am Legend is a dystopian story very loosely based upon a book of the same name. This was actually the third time it had been made into a movie. The first time was in 1964 with The Last Man On Earth featuring Vincent Price, and then in 1971 with The Omega Man with Charlton Heston. This version with Will Smith begins with a Dr. Alice Krippin (Emma Thompson) announcing that she’d found the cure to cancer. That unfortunately almost led to the extinction of the human race. Smith as Dr. Robert Neville is the last man on Earth and believes he can find an antidote. He experiments upon rats and captured beasts that were once humans. While I Am Legend starts off very well there were some plot holes and story choices that spoil things.<br /><br />The dilemma in the movie is that Dr. Neville is the last person left on Earth and needs to survive while continuing to conduct his work on the virus. He is in Manhattan which has become a wilderness. During the day there are animals about like deer and even lions. At night the former humans who have turned into their own kind of beast come out. Neville is determined to try to find a cure, especially because he lost his wife and child. Before they passed he said that he could fix things, and he believes that even more after his family died.<br /><br />Will Smith also plays his role well. He has to carry the whole story for most of the movie because there are no other people left.<br /><br />The problems with the story begin with the beasts. At first they appear to be mindless. Then he captures a female monster and another one risks coming out into the sun after she’s captured. It’s obvious that the two are mates but Neville instead dismisses it as a sign that the monsters have lost all their humanity and are acting senselessly even risking their own deaths by charging out into the sunlight. Then that same male sets a trap for Neville and he still doesn’t get that they have developed an intelligence. Neville is a scientist but can’t figure out these most basic signs.<br /><br />Second it turns out that Neville wasn’t the last man on Earth when a woman and a boy show up. What was the purpose of their appearance? They were simply added to have some hope at the end of the film.<br /><br />If you can just ignore these issues I Am Legend is still an enjoyable film.<br />C

Getting a phone that gives you attitude

Jexi is a comedy mocking America’s obsession with their cell phones. Michael Pena actually has the opening scene and he’s great. I’ve always liked him. The movie is about Adam DeVine getting a new phone whose talking operating system starts giving him attitude. For instance the phone tells DeVine “I am ashamed to be your phone.” That leads to some really funny moments with the phone system insulting DeVine left and right.

It's like reliving my teen years all over again

This documentary took me way back. I was part of the East Bay Metal scene in the 1980s which is the basis for the film. I used to go to the Record Vault in San Francisco to buy records. I used to listen to Ron Quintana on KUSF in the middle of the night when he used to rant about Yngwie Malmsteen being a guitar god. I used to go high school with Larry and Jeff from Possessed. I was at Debbie Abono’s house which was not far from school nearly every day. I remember seeing Exodus and Slayer play at Ruthie’s Inn and then hang out with them afterwards. It’s like reliving by teen years all over again.

Almost all dinosaurs with the bare minimum of a plot

The story to this movie is completely predictable. There’s a plan to take all the dinosaurs off the island they’re on, which is about to blow up due to a volcano and put them on a new one. This gets corrupted by people who are out for their own profit.<br /><br />The first Jurassic World had the same kind of feel as Jurassic Park with the big meat eating dinosaurs plus the majestic ones along with a human element. It seems like this one got down to the bare minimum with the plot and went for almost all action with the dinosaurs. This is the exact same thing that happened with the original movies so you could say that Jurassic World was following in the footsteps of its predecessors.
