Ferrell McKay and Aptow recapture the magic of the first Anchorman
Anchorman 2 was released nine years after the original. There were big questions whether Will Ferrell as Ron Burgandy and co-writer, Adam McKay as director and co-writer, and Judd Aptow as producer united once again could pull this off.<br /><br />The film focuses upon Burgandy trying to climb the ladder back up to the top, while Veronica flourishes. It also has some social commentary on current news as Burgandy makes a name for himself not reporting the hard news but trivia like car chases, the weather, home runs, and other such things on a 24 hours new network. Their producer Freddie Shapp played by Dylan Baker says they’re putting out total garbage but people love it and it gets the ratings.<br /><br />While that’s nice the heart of the story is comedy. Did Ferrell, McKay and Aptow recreate the magic? Yes they did. There are all kinds of hilarious situations such as when Burgandy is talking to his little son and tells him he’ll be nothing he wants to do be and has to aim low like being a light man in an adult movie where he can hold a flashlight while people “do things.” They re-create the news fight but this time there are far more teams such as ESPN, MTV, Entertainment News, and the History Network that brings along a minotaur and the ghost of Stonewall Jackson. Paul Rudd as Brian Fantana tries to tell Brick Tamland, Steve Carell, about which condom he should use. The last one Fantana said he wore 4 out of the 7 times he had illegitimate children. Burgandy asks him if that doesn’t defeat the purpose of wearing a condom. Fantana replies, “Nope.” The only time the film jumped the shark was when it introduced Doby the shark. Sorry for the pun, but it should have been chopped.<br /><br />Ferrell and McKay also continued their love of great oldies putting just the right song with the right scene.<br /><br />Overall, this was a very worthy sequel with tons of laughs.<br />C

Tradion soccer and love all in one
I’ve always heard about this movie but never seen it until now. I’m glad I did. It’s about a young Indian girl Parminder Nagra who wants to play soccer against her parents’ wishes. The scenes with her family are very cute and funny as her mom only talks about marriage and trying to maintain tradition. it leads to discussions about interracial relationships and more. It’s a very immigrant experience that should be portrayed in cinema more. If film is a reflection of society it should show its cultural diversity. It’s also important that Nagra could actually play. It makes the sports scenes realistic.

Fitting and fulfilling end to Ash vs Evil Dead
In Season 3 Ash and his crew have returned to his hometown of Elk Grove, Michigan as a hero after believing he expelled evil. Of course, Ash Williams is an evil magnet and he could never escape. Instead, he finds out that his nemesis Ruby is still alive. That’s only half the trouble. Ash also has a daughter named Brandy which he suddenly has to raise after her mom’s head gets cut off. Things only go down hill from there. Ruby brings more demons to Earth, including a little baby. More interestingly a whole new world of evil is revealed such as the Deadlands, a type of limbo where Ash’s teammate Kelly and Brandy get trapped in, plus the evil lords the Dark Ones are attempting to take over the world.<br /><br />This is a fitting end to the series. There’s all the blood and guts, crazy demons, Ash’s asinine behavior, ridiculous scenarios like when Ash gets attacked at a sperm bank, and an entire high school prom being cut up. Plus you’ll love the finish. It’s really sad to see this show end, but you can always cherish it on Blu-Ray/DVD.

Unlocking the brain and finding out there are still consequences and repercussions
Bradley Cooper is a nobody until one day he’s randomly given an experimental drug that vastly expands his intellect. They movie uses a number of different graphics to show Cooper’s altered states such as letters falling out of the sky when he writes a paper. Like any good drug story Cooper becomes addicted and makes some wrong decisions which creates the dilemma in the film. The story is very original and goes in unexpected directions to keep the audience interested. It plays upon the myth that people only use a small percentage of their brain and that there’s the possibility of accessing all of it and what that would entail. All together it makes Limitless something to watch.

Game changer in modern cinema using multiple perspectives & introduced Kurosawa to the world
Postmodern before postmodernism. Introduced flash backs, a fractured plot, and different perspectives years before it became the norm. Rashomon was a game changer in cinema when it was released in 1950 by famed Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.<br /><br />Three vagabonds played by Takashi Shimura, Minoru Chiaki and Kichijiro Ueda meet in an abandoned temple. One has a tale that he finds outrageous that it challenges his idea of humanity.<br /><br />What happened is then told by different characters each with a different perspective of what happened. That includes Takashi Shimura who was a woodcutter who came across a dead body of a samurai played by Masayuki Mori in the forest. Then Minoru Chiaki adds how he first came across the samurai and his wife played by Machiko Kyo. Third is Daisuke Kato, a policeman who caught Toshiro Mifune who is accused of the crime. He came across Mifune acting like a crazed man. Next is Mifune himself who looks like a caged animal as he testifies bound before the judge. Kyo adds her own tale, and there’s even a psychic played by Noriko Honma who recounts the samurai’s experience. The narrative weaves back and forth between those characters.<br /><br />Kurosawa used a deft hand to introduced the characters and story. Shimura for example, first found Machiko’s hat in the woods. Then Minoru only saw a glimpse of her upon her horse and her large hat with a shroud around it. Mifune actually gets a glimpse of her face, which intrigues him. He tells the judge he thought he saw a goddess. It turns out this woman is at the center of everything that transpired, it’s just that no one has the same recollection. Was she the cause, the victim, the instigator or all or none of the above.<br /><br />Kurosawa never establishes which one was the true tale. Perhaps they all were and just represented the unique perspective of each character? Today this technique is routine, but they all pay homage to Kurosawa.<br />C

Thought it would be about Jazz Turned out to be a romance
I thought this movie was going to focus upon Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier being ex-pat Americans playing Jazz in Paris. Instead it’s a romance as they meet two American tourists Joanne Woodward and Diahann Carroll. Between the two couples Poitier and Carroll are by far the more interesting. Poitier came to Paris to get away from racism while Carroll doesn’t think he should avoid it. They get second fiddle to Newman and Woodward however. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t a little disappointed in this film.

Get behind the scenes of how Paranoid was made
Yes this is a traditional documentary with plenty of talking heads but the stories are interesting. Geezer Butler for instance talked about how he saw all these wrongs in the world and no one was talking about it so he included it in his lyrics. Rather than talk about peace and love which were the popular themes at the time he talked about war and death especially because he was opposed to Vietnam. Tony Iommi talked about how he came up with riffs for classic songs like Iron Man. Ozzy is almost indiscernible he’s mumbling so much. The doc also goes through each song on the album and has the engineer isolate the different players to highlight what they were doing which I thought was great. I didn’t have much expectations for this given the format but it proved to be pretty darn good.

Mostly talking heads but still some interesting bits about Mario Van Peebles' life
How To Eat Your Watermelon is a documentary about Melvin Van Peebles and his artistic creations. Unfortunately it’s mostly talking heads with some archival footage of him plus shots from some of his movies. There are still interesting parts. For instance, I didn’t know he got his start making movies in France where he was also a writer. I’d also forgotten that he did records and plays. It highlights how much of an agent provocateur Van Peebles was. He was very calculating in being controversial and anti-establishment.

Relections on life and love
Beginners is about Ewan McGregor reflecting upon his life and family. His mother, Mary Page Keller, died. Then his father, Christopher Plummer, came out as gay and passed away a few years later. The story flips back and forth between when he was young, when his father was sick, and after he was gone. The theme is about love between family and in relationships.<br /><br />McGregor plays an artist so there are nice expressions of that with collages and voice overs that he does about aspects of his life. It also covers some very touching moments in Plummer’s life. The story is actually a mix of light and melancholy scenes, which is good because you wouldn’t want it to just be about the latter.

Question of humanity and power
There have been several undersea monster/sci films. Some have flopped others have been good. Sphere fits into that later category and was based upon a book by Michael Crichton. A small team of researchers (Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, Samuel L. Jackson, Live Schreiber, Peter Coyote and Queen Latifah) are sent to explore an alien craft found at the bottom of the sea. They of course get far more than they were looking for. The story builds up tension and is divided up into chapters. It’s also very surprising because it turns out to be about humanity and power. Thumbs up.

Whether slave or free Fred Williamson will always be in trouble for being black
Blaxploitation opened up the doors for far more roles and stories for African American actors. Legend of Black Charley is an example as it is a historical drama about slavery and the West featuring Fred Williamson. The blaxploitation elements are things like Williamson beating up a white guy and giving orders to another. That fits one of the main tropes of the genre which was standing up to the man. The major theme is that blacks no matter whether slave or free would always be persecuted in America because of racism. As Williamson says at the end, no matter where he went he’d be in trouble. Overall this is a good black Western but I think Buck and the Preacher with Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte and Thomasine & Bushrod with Max Julien and Vonetta McGee are better.

Too many ups and downs about this man selling his soul to the devil
Richard Burton not only starred in Doctor Faustus but co-produced and co-directed it as well. That’s probably the reason why Elizabeth Taylor appeared in it as well. She doesn’t even say a word and just appears to symbolize the temptation of evil. The story is about Faustus selling his soul to the devil.<br /><br />The movie is really up and down. On the good side there is an argument between a demon and an angel for Burton’s soul. Another time Burton learns that trickery of the devil as he cannot be trusted. On the downside much of the film is Burton alone giving long monologues like a play. Burton goes off to a series of fantasy worlds to play with the powers Lucifer gave him but most are a dud.<br /><br />Overall can’t say I would recommend people to watch Doctor Faustus. There are just too many inconsistencies.

Spoof of James Bond that hasn't aged well
Casino Royal was a spoof of the James Bond series featuring an all star cast of Peter Sellers, David Niven, Ursula Andress, Woody Allen, plus a bunch of cameos by Orson Wells, William Holden, John Houston, and others.<br /><br />The movie starts with the original James Bond (Niven) being asked by British, American, French, and Soviet intelligence to help them because an unknown force is killing all their agents. The movie then goes through all the usual Bond activities like women throwing themselves at them, bombs going off, etc, but they’re all made fun of. For instance, Bond goes to Scotland to a castle where’s he’s challenged to throw cannon balls and is put up against a bunch of strongmen in kilts who can barely lift the balls. The mistress then falls in love with Bond and joins a covenant because she can’t sleep with him. As the movie progresses it becomes more ridiculous and over the top.<br /><br />The main problem is that many of these gags have not aged well with time. They’re quaint but don’t bring out any laughs. That’s a shame because I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and enjoying it. Now it’s just okay.<br />C

Yeah it's cheesy but Wesley Snipes is all you need to see
This movie is so over the top. The villain Bruce Payne is like a comic book character. The main female character Alex Datcher looks like Michael Jackson. There are also some gaping holes in the plot. Despite all that Wesley Snipes saves the day. He gets to kick butt and lay down some classic lines. For some mindless fun Passenger 57 ain’t half bad.

2 conmen compete to see who will stay & who will go in this enjoyable comedy
Two conmen played by Michael Caine and Steve Martin randomly meet on a train. Caine portrays himself as European royalty while Martin is the innocent American. They decide the French town they are in isn’t big enough for both of them so they enter into a competition to see who will stay and who will go.<br /><br />What works about the movie is that the two main characters are always scheming. For instance Martin plays an idiot in a number of schemes and it seems so stupid and unbelievable, but it turns out it was just another play by Caine to outsmart him.<br /><br />When they start their competition the movie gets better as well with some real comedic moments. Martin for instance plays a crippled U.S. soldier in a wheelchair while Caine is his doctor. Caine repeatedly whips Martin on the legs to see the extent of his paralysis. Martin looks so funny holding back the tears as Caine hits him again and again.<br /><br />There’s a great twist at the end as well.<br />C

Yea the main Latin character went to a white guy but it's still a gangster classic
Al Pacino as Scarface has gone down in history as one of the great gangster movies of all time. This is despite the fact that the lead Latin role went to a white guy as usual. The movie was written by Oliver Stone and directed by Brian De Palma. The movie takes place in Miami during the 1980s when cocaine was taking off. The story is the classic rise and fall of a gangster. Pacino as Tony Montana came to Florida from Cuba with nothing. He wanted the American Dream and the way he was going to achieve that was through crime. He starts off small but moves his way up to become a boss. Of course, crime doesn’t pay and there’s no honor amongst thieves so his reign doesn’t last.<br /><br />The first thing that stands out about Scarface is the violence and action. Montana and his friends are placed in a refugee camp in Miami when they arrive in the U.S. and their ticket out is to stab a former Cuban general. Then their first job as gangsters goes all wrong and Tony’s friend gets cut to pieces with a chainsaw. Another time one of Montana’s business partners is accused of being an informer for the police and dumped out of helicopter and hung. The ending is considered a classic as well especially Tony’s famous line “Say hello to my little friend” as he fires a rife grenade at a group of attackers. That initially brought a lot of criticism of the movie but today is celebrated.<br /><br />The other part of the story, which is common to most in the gangster genre is the constant betrayal and lack of trust. Montana first goes to work for drug kingpin Frank Lopez played by Robert Loggia. Lopez later turns on Montana and he pays Frank back by not only killing him but taking his girl Elvira played by Michelle Pfeiffer. Mobsters always talk about how they operate like a family, but it’s one where your brother will stab you in the back at the drop of a hat and everyone is considered under suspicion.<br /><br />These are some of the main elements that make Scarface such a celebrated work. If only Hollywood would believe that people of color could star in their own movies this might have been even better.<br />C

A system which attempts to ban people's basic humanity - their feelings
Equals takes place in a future where all people are controlled by the Collective which has banned strong emotions and having sexual relations with others. Nicholas Hoult begins having feelings for Kristen Stewart which makes them revolt against the system. Usually in these types of movies people rebel for political freedom and the system of control is focused upon people’s minds. Here it’s for love and constraining their emotions. It strikes at a much deeper theme of a government attempting to block people’s basic humanity. I think the film was very well made. You feel for Hoult and Stewart who have to hide their feelings for each other plus there’s some great tension at the end about whether they will be found out or not. A lot of their time together is filmed in dark tones and little light to press the fact that what they are doing is forbidden. There’s also a little take off of Romeo and Juliette thrown in there as well.

Story is driven by a group of strong characters
Truck Turner gave Stax Records’ music man Isaac Hayes a leading role in a Blaxploitation film. Wouldn’t you know it begins with a song from Shaft which Hayes did the soundtrack for with just a minor change. In fact the soundtrack is pretty outstanding from beginning to end. One of the songs was used by Tarantino in Kill Bill.<br /><br />Hayes plays a bounty hunter who gets involved with a pimp that leads to a lot of action. The best example is when Hayes gets caught in the middle of a gun battle in a hospital with doctors and nurses getting gunned down left and right.<br /><br />The movie is propelled by a bunch of strong characters. Hayes gets to affirm his black masculinity, something often denied in Hollywood by doing things like beating up a racist soldier. Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek fame is amazing! She plays a pimp’s number one woman who takes over and has a mouth like a viper. I could just watch her giving her monologues. She commands every scene she’s in. Yaphet Kotto is a pimp who is after Hayes as well.

Some great characters and an interesting investigation makes this a noteworthy crime drama
A rich but mysterious crime boss named Mr. Lee is trying to start anew by killing all those who once worked with him. It’s up to Detective Wonho (Cho Jinwoong) to stop him.<br /><br />The movie has a good start. A businessman woman comes to Wonho to spill the dirt on Mr. Lee. First she wants to eat, but she gets poisoned and goes face first into her stew. Then there’s a crazy Chinese drug dealer that’s mad at having LED lights in his hotel room so he beats one of his henchmen. Most of the movie is a police procedural and investigation as Wonho has to chart Mr. Lee’s organization. It’s quite good with some action thrown in for good measure. The main draw is that at each level of Mr. Lee's business there is another interesting mix of characters. Some are friendly, some are ruthless, some are insane. Some are also surprising and not what you would expect in a crime film.<br /><br />You can actually guess who Mr. Lee is before the conclusion but you have to pay very close attention. That sort of destroys the mystery behind the whole plot but it's still very enjoyable.

Finding friendship and love inside and out of a video game
The Free Guy has a great premise. Ryan Reynolds is a Non-Player Character within a video game who becomes autonomous and falls for a computer programmer’s character inside the game. The movie is very funny and very fun. It plays upon so many stereotypes about games like Grand Theft Auto and gamers. The story even has some heart to it about finding friendship and love out in the real world. Ryan Reynolds is fantastic with his quick wit and gift of gab.

Champions the free press as a check upon the abuse of power by the govt
All The President’s Men gets right down to business opening with the break in at the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C. Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) and Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) immediately begin working the story. Things are fishy right off the start with the robbers having counsel even though they never made a phone call. One of their lawyers refuses to acknowledge that he is there, and the burglars turn out to have all worked for the CIA. Then when Bernstein and Woodward go through the phone books of the burglars they find the number of Howard Hunt who works at the White House, and was a former CIA officer. Thus begins the story that would lead to the impeachment of President Nixon.<br /><br />The film works on two levels. First, the investigative reporting that Woodward and Bernstein do plays like a mystery story. They make calls, they do interviews, they find a hidden source within the administration, “Deep Throat”. It gives a good insight into how journalism on big stories work, and it’s exciting. Second, the story of how the Nixon White House attempted to cheat its way into a second term is one of the dramatic stories of American history. From the start, the Nixon campaign used dirty tricks against the Democrats, which eventually led it decide to break into the Democrats’ HQ to steal secrets to help defeat them in the election. It then launched a massive campaign to try to cover up what it did, which eventually brought down the president. The movie therefore champions the free press as a check upon the government, and condemns the abuse of power. That’s an important message that should be remembered and learned by all Americans.<br />C

Theme song is so bad lets you know this movie is horrible
If an opening is any way to judge a movie than Anzio has to be one of the worst. It has an easy listening theme song where the singer has to basically talk his way through the lines they’re so long not to mention completely horrible as well. Here’s an example “Where have you gone You bright eyed gentle dreamer? … When did you change into a fearsome soldier?” I mean really???<br /><br />The rest of the film turns out to be just as bad as Robert Mitchum who is a reporter with a group of Rangers can see German positions before they fire and minefields even though they’re supposed to be buried. There’s also little action as most of the movie is just a bunch of soldiers talking. What a dud.

Stick to the Deep Purple section and skip the Ian Gillan concert at the end
Masters From The Vaults contains footage from several TV performances by Deep Purple from the late 1960s to early 1970s, plus a few songs by former singer Ian Gillan recorded in 1990. Why the later was included I have no idea, perhaps just to add length to the video.<br /><br />The first song Speed King features the crazy guitar playing of Richie Blackmore as he flings his guitar around his body. That provides an interesting contrast to an earlier performnce where Blackmore basically just stands there during the song. It appeared that he became much more enamored with his playing later on and wanted to show off much, much more than before. That’s shown on songs like Wring That Neck which is a very self-indulgent instrumental for Blackmore. I have to say that Blackmore’s guitar playing gets excessive at points to the detriment of the music because sections of songs just become jam sessions for him to show off and be eccentric even. Despite that the performances show off Deep Purple’s Blues influenced Rock.<br /><br />After that interesting start the video shifts to an Ian Gillan concert from 1990, Gillan being the former lead singer. His songs come off really poor compared to Deep Purple to the point that I would even recommend just skipping this part.<br />C

Tried to be new Rom-Com but ends up being pretty predictable
Bridget Jones’s Diary tried not to be your typical romantic comedy but fell into that trap in the end. The main character isn’t the hot girl just searching for the right man. Instead. Jones/Renee Zellweger is the awkward girl who believes she’ll be alone for her entire life. That’s shown in the opening as she’s insulted by Colin Firth who she’s just met at a Christmas Party and then goes home and sings All By Myself. The story is about Zellweger split between two men. One is Hugh Grant her rich playboy boss and Firth who is the conservative lawyer. How that plays out is rather predictable so watching the movie is all about the situations they put Zellweger in such as wearing a Playboy bunny outfit to a family picnic.

A popular yet mean teen girl gets to change Guess where it goes????
I really didn’t like the beginning of this movie and then it became completely predictable. It’s about Zoey Deutch being part of group of popular girls who ignore people and make fun of others. They are the worse kind of teenagers and it was done on purpose to set up the next part of the movie. That’s when Deutch reaches a decision point in her life and you can tell exactly what will happen. SPOILER. If she starts off as a bad girl guess what happens? Hollywood needs to make more movies that feature almost all girls/women but it has to be better than this.

Low key story of surveilling a spy
FBI agent Eric O’Neill (Ryan Phillippe) is tasked with surveilling senior agent Robert Hanssen (Chris Cooper) whose been accused of lurid Internet posts. That’s just a story they told O’Neill to get him to take the job. The movie was based upon a true story of one of the biggest espionage cases in the Bureau’s history.<br /><br />The movie is a bit odd because O’Neill’s main job for most of the movie is not to investigate Hanssen. That’s done by an entire team. Rather O’Neill’s task is to run interference for that group so for instance he has to slow Hanssen down or keep him somewhere while the group goes through his car, etc. That means most of the story focuses upon the relationship between O’Neill and Hassen. There is no action. It’s all about finding evidence and tripping Hanssen up. It’s very low key and subdued and not your typical spy movie.

Slow start but Marley finally delivers in this concert
This concert did not get off to a good start. The I-Threes sing a set but their first song was out of their range. They had them do a bunch of high notes which they couldn’t pull off live. It just sounded really bad. Their other songs were much better but not outstanding. To tell you the truth I didn’t like the first couple songs done by Marley either. They were just average. It actually takes a couple tunes before the band gets going but once they play I Shot The Sherriff everything is fine.

Dwayne Johnson did a series of family adventure movies and Journey 2 was one of them. It was loosely based upon a Jules Verne story The Mysterious Island.

Cat and mouse game between a fraudster and an FBI agent
The opening animated sequence for Catch Me If You Can perfectly sets the mood. It’s got a 60s feel to it as it shows Tom Hanks chasing after Leonardo DiCaprio who plays the ultimate con man who pretended to be a French teacher, a pilot and more. It provided a whole story starting with his family which motivated DiCaprio to go into fraud. What draws you in about the movie is the cat and mouse element as Hanks as an FBI agent tries to track DiCaprio down across America and beyond. DiCaprio makes a food of Hanks a few times which are really funny. They actually develop a relationship which also adds to the story. The end is surprising and adds another element. Christopher Walken is DiCaprio’s father and he is his usual charismatic self.

Mixed feelings about this movie
I have mixed feelings about this movie. It’s about reconciliation between the North and the South after the Civil War. John Wayne is a former Union officer while Rock Hudson is a former Confederate heading a group of ex-soldiers and their families to Mexico. The two become allies to face the dangers along the journey. That’s not the problem. In fact, there’s also a nice part of interracial love as Roman Gabriel who plays a Native American falls in love with Melissa Newsman a young white girl. On the other hand, during the start there’s several attempts to mythologize the South. For instance, Hudson drives off carpetbaggers that want to buy his plantation and then gives a gift to one of his slaves before he departs. The first was meant to show the slave owners as victims after the war and the second was to say that they cared about their slaves. Total nonsense.

Did the govt want revenge or justice?
Conspirator, directed by Robert Redford is a historical drama about the trial of Mary Surratt/Robin Wright, one of the conspirators in the assassination of Lincoln. She is defended by James McAvoy. The film plays out in the courtroom and in flashbacks about the events leading up to the murder of the president. McAvoy is cast as a conflicted character. He believes that Surratt deserves a legal defense but he’s also a former Union soldier and thinks she’s guilty. He’s also totally lost as this is his first trial. Ultimately it questions the role of the government in the entire affair by asking if it wanted revenge more than justice. It’s a legitimate questions and does a good job presenting it. I enjoyed the court room scenes and made for a good drama.

Richard Gere has to come of age
Richard Gere is a man with a chip on his shoulder. He had to bring himself up when he was with his irresponsible and womanizing father who was a US Navy sailor in the Philippines. He decides to join the Navy to be an officer to prove to himself that he can be somebody. The movie focuses upon his time in basic training dealing with his fellow cadets like David Keith, his drill sergeant Louis Gossett Jr, and a local Debra Winger. It’s like a coming of age story except Gere is obviously an adult already. He has to grow into a man not only with his training but with Winger as well. There’s a great scene between Gere and Gossett that drives that home along with the ending with Winger which is sort of a classic. The one that stands out for me however is when Gere helps fellow cadet Lisa Eilbacher through an obstacle course which shows his maturity. It all makes for a great movie.

Remarkable start to director Marvin Van Peebles' career
The Story of a Three Day Pass was director Melvin Van Peebles first full length movie. The film was based upon a novel he wrote. It’s about a U.S. soldier Harry Baird getting a weekend pass in Paris where he starts an interracial relationship with Nicole Berger.<br /><br />It’s a very stylish film. For instance, Baird enters a club where a bunch of young people are dancing and then they all part like the Red Sea to make way for Baird who walks down the middle of the crowd. The movie is full of shots like that like when Baird and Berger are driving to the beach Van Peebles switches from her talking about her life to just showing her legs. That seemed to symbolize that while she was happy getting to know Baird he was perhaps thinking about something else.<br /><br />The heart of the movie is about the interracial relationship between Baird and Berger. He gets into a fight at a club. He feels like he will be punished by his fellow soldiers for being with a white woman and more.<br /><br />It really is a remarkable start for Van Peebles career.

Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice is pure genius
I think Beetlejuice is an all time classic and one of director Tim Burton’s best pieces of work. Not only is it funny as hell but it also offers a little critique of the wealthy urban elite.<br /><br />Everything begins and ends with Michael Keaton’s amazing performance as Beetlejuice. Here he really got to let loose as the joking bio-exorcist. He got to ad-lib his way through many scenes and it’s genius.<br /><br />There’s the comparison between the mild mannered dead couple of Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis versus the snide Catherin O’Hara and Jeffrey Jones who move into their home. They provide the contrast between those that live in small towns and rural areas versus those from the big city.<br /><br />Of course, Burton created a twisted world for all of them to inhabit. For instance there was the social services office for the dead that Baldwin and Davis went to full of other members of the netherworld such as an explorer who had his head shrunk and a guy who got a chicken bone stuck in his throat and choked to death.<br /><br />The film is near perfect.

They've typecast Liam Neeson yet his movies are still good
They certainly have typecast Liam Neeson as the protective dad who knows how to use a gun. Here Neeson is trying to protect his son Joel Kinnaman from a local gangster. The story is highly predictable and yet I still enjoyed it. It had some good action, drama and tension. The cast was great as well including Ed Harris, Vincent D’Onofrio, Common and a cameo by Nick Nolte.

Good intro but nothing knew if you already know the man
This documentary starts off with Notorious B.I.G.’s mom Voletta Wallace. That’s a fitting beginning because Biggie was a mama’s boy. After that it goes through all the predictable elements of his life from the drug dealing to the music to Tupac, etc. A lot of this was actually covered in the feature film Notorious. The difference is that this movie includes a lot of recorded interviews with Biggie. It’s good to hear his voice telling his own story. That being said I didn’t feel like there was anything new in this doc that I didn’t know already about the man. If you’re new to Biggie then this would be a great start, but otherwise I’m not sure it’s necessary.

Midlife crisis you can both laugh at and empathize with
High Fidelity was about a mid-life crisis. John Cusack as Rob Gordon owns a record store in Chicago. His life comes apart when his girlfriend Iben Hjejle as Laura leaves him. He becomes extremely neurotic and wants to know why Laura broke up with him. To do that he explores his top five splits with women. Despite what seems a very depressing plot the movie is actually a dark comedy.<br /><br />Most of the film is Rob talking directly into the camera about his relationships. When he gets to his third break up Charlie (Catherine Zeta-Jones) he tells the audience that some people never got over Vietnam, he never got over Charlie. He starts organizing his records based upon his life like putting a Fleetwood Mac album in his fall of 1983 pile when he bought it for someone but didn’t give it to them. Things get even worse when he finds out Laura moved in with a man who used to live upstairs from them in an apartment building. That drives Rob into a fit of rage, especially when he thinks about them having sex. That scene will make you chuckle showing that just because it’s about Rob’s downward spiral it could still make fun of his situation.<br /><br />Music is another prominent theme of the film. Rob and his two employees Dick (Todd Louiso) and Barry (Jack Black) are total record snobs. All day they argue about what record is best, which rare album they just found, and make top five lists. They can also be extremely rude to customers who they look down upon based upon their musical choices. When a dad comes in looking for a song for his daughter Barry insults him and tells him he won’t sell it to him. He goes on to say that there was no way the father knew his daughter unless he wanted to play the song while she was in a coma. Another time Barry corrects Dick over whether a song has a “The” at the start of it or not. Their problem is that they have fallen so in love with music they think that they are better than everyone else.<br /><br />There is also plenty of actual music throughout the film for a great soundtrack. The songs were expertly picked to go along with the scene or Rob’s feelings. After he found out that Laura had not slept with another man since their break up for example, Queen’s We Are The Champions comes on. At the end Barry joins a band and does his first performance, which is mind blowing.<br /><br />Overall, this is a really great, heartfelt movie. It delves into Rob’s psyche as he goes through a rough spot in his life. You can both empathize with Rob’s situation, while also laugh at him at the same time.<br />C

The gangster and the doctor an explosive combination
Drunken Angel was Akira Kurosawa’s seventh film and the first time he worked with Toshiro Mifune. Mifune looks like the leading man with his dashing looks and angry, tough guy persona. He plays a local Yakuza who is sick and comes to the local doctor played by Takashi Shimura who was also one of Kurosawa’s favorite actors. Shimura is really funny because he’s loud, abrasive and likes to get drunk all the time. He talks about Mifune’s sickness and gangster lifestyle as one and the same such as one time when he says he’s surrounded by maggot infested bacteria. When the two are together they are like soda and mentos they explode!<br /><br />Kurosawa also got to play with his love of silent films such as in a nightmare sequence Mifune has and also by his make-up looks at the end when he’s really sick. There’s no dialogue in either it’s just the images that drive things.

It's was fun but I think I was expecting even more
I was really looking forward to seeing this movie because I am a big Nicolas Cage fan and the story seemed right up his alley. That revolves around Cage playing himself when he goes to meet Pedro Pascal and gets involved with the CIA who think Pascal is an international criminal. The start is great with Cage playing the angry actor who is also estranged from his daughter. That starts the laughs. When Cage meets Pascal it escalates with the two acting like they’re in a movie when they’re not. Of course there’s some action thrown in as well. It was a great mix although I think I expected even more.

Watch this for the art
Where did all the graffiti artists go after the subways were closed to them? Trains. That’s what this documentary is about. It follows a traditional format with talking heads followed by shots out in train yards with the artists doing their work and then back to talking heads. What really made the documentary was the graffiti. Seeing those giant pieces on the side of a train was really impressive. The interviews are a bit up and down and I hate the talking head format.

The start of this movie is SO bad
The first Ring movie was an amazing remake of a Japanese horror film. It had suspense, it had thrills, it set a great mood and created some real terror. Ring Two is just one dumb moment after another. Naomi Watts’ son David Dorfman tells her not to stop while their driver so she stops. They get attacked and then she stops again. Watts knows the Ring girl comes out of the water but insists on sticking Dorfman in a tub even though he’s completely freaked out because he knows what’s going to happen. Good job Watts! You’re a great mother. The second half did get progressively better but it couldn’t make up for such a horrible start.

Not enough happens to keep this interesting
The Black Godfather has some common tropes of Blaxploitation. First it focuses upon a local crook played by Rod Perry who wants to make it big. In his way is a white gangster thus the black lead gets to take on The Man. There’s also a black power element as Perry wants to keep the black mobsters out of the black community. Of course that’s just so he can control all the crime. The problem with the movie was not enough happened and the pacing was slow on top of that. Probably the best part is when a woman uses a blow gun to knock out a guard and then uses karate against another woman. If there were more scenes like that The Black Godfather would have been so much better.

Soldiers lost their moral bearings but 2 main characters are bad to boring
Casualties of War is based upon a true story when a group of U.S. soldiers kidnapped, raped and eventually killed a Vietnamese woman. Because of the guerrilla war the G.I.s believe that not only are all Vietnamese the enemy they’re not even human beings. That’s what led to their actions. If Vietnamese aren’t people then they can do anything they want to them. They saw no different in shooting the enemy, burning down a village, or raping a woman. It was all the war to them. They had lost their moral bearings which led to this crime. That’s the message of the film. The major drawback is Sean Penn who plays the leader of the group. I hate the accent he used for the movie. It’s so horrible to the point that I couldn’t take his character seriously because he sounded so bad. Michael J Foxx is the character with the conscience but that means he gets to moralize and give a monologue about doing good which falls flat. Good message but some bad characters.

Intense is an understatement for this film
Running Scared is about a little killed named Oleg (Cameron Bright) who shot his abusive father with a gun he stole from his neighbor Joey (Paul Walker). Little did he know the gun he used was from a heist gone wrong that ended up killing a crooked cop. A whole bunch of crooks and cops are after him. Not only that but he runs into one crazy person after another. The story lays out a completely bizarre tale going from one insane situation to another.<br /><br />Some of the people Oleg meets include a homeless drug addict, a prostitute that got beaten up by her pimp, and two child molesters. It definitely goes far and beyond the usual story. What draws people in is to see whether Oleg can survive the night. It really is an amazing bit of writing that never lets off the gas.<br />C

This movie brought together Simon Pegg and Nick Frost again (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz). The two went to Comic-Con in San Diego and then took an RV drive to see famous UFO sites in the southwest when they run into Paul (Seth Rogen) an alien.<br /><br />The movie goes through all the stereotypes about aliens like probes, abduction, secret government agents, etc. Unfortunately it’s not that funny.

Zack Galifianakis does it again
I don’t think I liked this when it came out but watching it now and it’s got a hilarious start. There’s a catastrophe with a giraffe and Zach Galifianakis is back to his usual hijinks. In fact, he’s by far the best part of the film. He just has one good line and part after another. Besides the usual Ken Jeong is back as Mr. Chow. He’s only got one or two good scenes which was disappointing because I was hoping for more. Overall Part III is pretty good but not as good as the first two Hangovers.

Very well written monster-thriller
A Quiet Place is a very good monster movie. At first I wasn’t so sure because the beasts are attracted by sound, so there’s no talking for the first 30-40 minutes. That makes it almost like a battle of wills during the start of the film to see if enough happens to keep your interests. Luckily it has a very good script that keeps the tension going. There’s a tragedy right at the start that introduces the monsters, and then there’s a constant battle of wills between the family and the beasts for the remainder. That leads to a lot of action and suspense as to what will happen. The ending is a cliff hanger as well. Well worth the time to check it out.<br />C

This is when the Leprechaun franchise really came into its own. It had a campiness and tongue in cheek spirit to it that the first movie lacked.

Completely lost flair of 1st Grudge and became cheap and predictable
By this time the Grudge series had given up on the haunting theme that was so effective in the first movie and just got down to shock and gotcha moments. That’s shown by the opening when the surviving kid from Grudge 2 is killed by the ghost in bloody fashion inside a mental institute he was behind held in. The story centers around an apartment building that was haunted in the last movie and a Japanese woman who moves in thinking that she can end it. The change in style meant the film lost its flair and any scary moments. Things become routine and predictable as a result.

Not bad for a traditional documentary
For a traditional documentary this isn’t that bad. It’s a short history of Led Zeppelin. I learned some things from it like how the band struggled when it first got started to questioning whether the bad boy image it got when it went on tour was real or not. It included interviews with the actual band members which was good because it wasn’t just journalists being talking heads. The best part wasn’t about the band itself but the music business and how crooked it was. The band’s manager was known for standing up to all the promoters and others that tried to rob the group.

Can a gangster maintain his lifestyle and fall in love in Wong Kar-Wai's 1st film
As Tears Go By was director Wong Kar-Wai’s first film. It starred Maggie Cheung as Ngor who is sick and goes to stay at her cousin Wah (Andy Lau), a relative she’d not met before, so she can get medical attention for her lungs. Wah is a debt collector along with his friend Fly (Jacky Cheung). The story is partly about Wah and Fly’s gangster lifestyle and partly about the relationship between Ngor and Wah and whether those two worlds can co-exist or not.<br /><br />Some of Wong’s trademarks are seen in this, his initial release. He wasn’t working with Christopher Doyle yet but there are hints at the cinematography the two would become famous for. For instance, Wah goes to see Ngor and they run together and then start kissing in a slow motion sequence. Afterward the two have an awkward look because they don’t know what to say or do next. All they can do is inch closer to each other because even though they just had a moment of passion the two are still unsure of what they’re starting. It’s those types of moments that would go on to define some of his best films like In The Mood For Love.

Can the generation gap between immigrant mothers & American daughters be overcome?
Joy Luck Club was the film adaptation of Army Tan’s famous 1989 novel of the same name. She helped write the screenplay and was a co-producer. It was the first major Hollywood film with an Asian American cast. The movie like the book stressed the generation gap between a group of women that immigrated from China and their Chinese American children. This is conveyed through a series of flashbacks featuring the daughters and the mothers when they were young back in China. The movie is about the generation gap between the mothers and daughters.<br /><br />The differences between the two generations is highlighted in the first flashback. June remembers when she was a child and performed at a recital. Her mother Suyuan (Kieu Chinh) wanted to show her off to her friend Lindo (Tsai Chin) who was her archrival. June however had plans of her own and never put much effort into her playing. That meant her recital went all wrong and June’s mother lost face. This was typical for all of the daughters and their mothers. The children were brought up with the burden of all these expectations put on them by their parents. At the same time, the kids heard all these stories about their mom’s struggles in China but they were like fairy tales. They didn’t understand what their parents had gone through. When the two generations finally understand each other it leads to tranquility in the family.<br /><br />The movie doesn't capture all of the elements of the book but it has the essence of the story about the mothers and daughters and therefore is a good adaptation.<br />C

Not the best Street Fighter collection 2 of 5 films are good
Sonny Chiba had been starring in Japanese movies for some time but it was 1974’s Street Fighter that made him famous in the U.S. Thousands of people that used to go to weekend matinees to watch Kung Fu movies fell in love with his portrayal of Terry Sugury, the Street Fighter. The son of a Japanese solider and Chinese mother during World War II he became a martial arts expert, loner and hired hand.<br /><br />This 2 disc collection contains five films, Street Fighter, Return of the Street Fighter, The Street Fighter’s Last Revenge, Sister Street Fighter and the Bodyguard. Amazingly the first four movies were all released in 1974. Out of the five, only two are really good.<br /><br />The original Street Fighter stands out by far. There, Sugury starts off breaking a criminal named Junjo (Masashi Ishibashi) out of jail, but when his family can’t pay him, so they fight and the brother gets killed. Then some mobsters want to hire Sugury to kidnap a rich heiress but he decides to protect her instead. First, he has to win over her uncle a Karate master Kendo Masaoka (Masafumi Suzuki). The criminals then hire Junjo to take on Terry bringing the two stories together at the end. The movie is great, the action is well done, and it’s better than most martial arts films that came out at the time.<br /><br />The other good film is Street Fighter’s Last Revenge. There Surgury fights the Yakuza who is trying to sell a new formula for heroine. One of the first henchmen turns out to be Mr. Black a Mexican in a cowboy that that shoots lasers. Yeah, it’s as bad as it sounds. Still, the story survives that and is saved by the action sequences.<br /><br />The other three releases however are pretty bad. Return of the Street Fighter is like the leftovers from the first film with many of the main characters returning and finishing up the loose ends. Sister Street Fighter was the female take off starring Sue Shiomi as Tina Long who goes looking for her brother who was an undercover cop kidnapped by the mafia. The major drawback of that movie is the bad guys look like they walked out of a Japanese kids show like Ultra Man or Kamen Raida. For example, there’s a villainous Karate school led by Ishibashi that wear tall black straw hats that look ridiculous. Finally, the Bodyguard has Chiba as himself trying to fight the drug trade in Japan. It tries to play itself like a crime flick but the story just drags.<br /><br />Overall, this might not be the best collection with only two of the five films being worthwhile. Sonny Chiba has his own fighting style and he always looks angry and ready to go. It’s obvious that the Teoi Company was just pumping these films out after the success of the first Street Fighter and the writing really suffered as a result.

3 con artists and what they are willing to do to each other
Anjelica Huston is Lilly Dillon. She works for an East Coast bookie by lowering the odds in horse races. Her son is Roy played by John Cusack who is a small time hustler. He goes out with Myra played by Annette Benning who is also a con artist. The story involves scams and betrayals. What will these three unscrupulous people do to each other?<br /><br />The plot starts off a bit muddled as to what exactly is going to unfold. Eventually the storyline is revealed as the three characters all end up in opposition to each other. The twist is who will get the upper hand and what are they willing to do to get it? The ending is shocking.<br /><br />Overall, Grifters is a pretty good movie about people who live off of others and therefore trust no one. At the same time they still feel the need for relationships but they are full of suspicion given their profession.

Fred Williamson takes on the police & then his own friends over their greed
Bucktown was a blaxploitation film featuring Fred Williamson as Duke and Pam Grier as Aretha. The story is about Duke and Aretha fighting against the injustices of the racist police, but then having to turn on their friends who are engulfed by greed.<br /><br />Part of the movie is a black fantasy as Duke and his friends don’t just stand up to the police but attack them. Then it adds an interesting twist as Duke’s friends are corrupted by the power they now feel they have. Usually fighting the man was the main point of a lot of blaxploitation, but here you’ve got some more nuance to the issue.<br /><br />I have to say how Duke dealt with the police was completely unexpected. Like I said it was like a black person’s dream. I also appreciate how it showed how Buck’s friends were greedy just like the police. Overall, it made Bucktown better than your usual blaxploitation film because it not only dealt with taking it to the man, but then showed blacks had plenty of problems of their own.<br />C

The old ways just wouldn't do
The Queen is about Queen Elizabeth/Helen Mirren and Prime Minister Tony Blair/Michael Sheen dealing with the death of Princess Diana. The two take diametrically opposed paths on how to deal with her passing. One was caught up in tradition, a conservative approach and a personal dislike of Diana. The other recognized the standing of the Princess with the public. I thought both actors were excellent in their roles. Mirren always wanted to keep a tight upper lip while Sheen squirmed at what he saw as her mistakes. I think the movie also did a good job explaining how Diana was a disruptive figure for the royal establishment which was important context for how the queen reacted to her death. There’s plenty of documentary footage spliced in as well to see how people were reacting to both the death and the queen which was a nice touch.

Good retro-70s Noir
The 1970s saw a series of Film Noir revivals with Chinatown being the most famous of them. Farewell, My Lovely was another. It was based upon the 1940 Raymond Chandler novel of the same name. This was the third time that the book had been turned into a movie and featured Robert Mitchum as the iconic Los Angeles private detective Philip Marlowe.<br /><br />Like classic Film Noirs of the past Farewell, My Lovely takes up the voice over technique featuring Marlow to narrate the story. He’s wanted for a series of murders and calls in his friend Lt. Nulty (John Ireland) to explain his tale. It started off oh so simply when he was hired by a crook named Moose Malloy (Jack O’Halloran) to find his girlfriend Velma (Charlotte Rampling). It seemed like an open and shut case, but they never are.<br /><br />Mitchum does a good job with the voice over. He’s got the hard boiled style down pat. The story takes a series of twists and turns. There are women young and old throwing themselves at Marlowe. Dead bodies show up more often than not. Powerful people in the city are involved as well, which makes the case all the more dangerous. All together that makes for a very good detective story and a throwback to the golden age of Noir.<br />C

Story about women gladiators that doesn't work
The Arena was a female exploitation gladiator movie. The idea was to make a titillating movie about women fighting each other in a Roman arena.<br /><br />The movie starts with Margaret Markov and Pam Grier being pagans captured by the Romans and sold into slavery. Their owner decides to change the gladiator game by turning his female slaves into fighters. What ensues is some girl fights, some sex and nudity, some badly choreographed gladiator scenes, and then a slave revolt because the movie was inspired by the Spartacus story.<br /><br />Unfortunately nothing really works in this film. There’s nothing exciting to keep your interest.<br />C

Bourdain had a hole in his soul caused by addictions
Roadrunner portrays Anthony Bourdain as a man with a hole in his soul which he could never heal. The cause of this dilemma was his obsessive/compulsive personality. Thus the film goes through each stage of his life and what he was consumed by. There was drugs, writing which led to the travelling which was captured in his TV shows and then the women in his life. In one scene for instance, Bourdain said something was missing in him and what he initially filled it with was drugs. Then the artist David Choe adds that the addiction just jumped to other things. You can see all the problems that led to in the film which is its strength and the reason to watch it.

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

Teenage exuberance leads to unintended consequences
No Way Home was quite the comeback from Far From Home which I thought was good but had some real problems with it. No Way Home is a bittersweet story about Peter Parker dealing with unintended consequences. He asks Dr. Strange to make a spell for him but his teenage exuberance screws it up. He ends up dealing with some of the major bad guys from the pre-MCU Spider Man movies like Dr. Octopus, Electro, The Green Goblin, and more. Of course what also made No Way Home stand out is that the old Spider-Mans, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield also showed up. It’s really fun and captures the teen vibe that was such a big part of the first Spider Man film.

It's an inspiring work of art.
This is a beautifully made movie about Jackie Robinson starring Chadwick Boseman. It shows how much strength he had to show in order to put up with all the racism he faced as the first black major league player. He truly gets tested in a game against the Philadelphia Phillies when the manager constantly throws insults at him every time at bat to throw him off. It also shows how many of Robinson’s teammates went from resenting him to respecting him and even admiring him. Just as important is Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. He plays his character like a protective father who wants to make sure that Robinson is successful on and off the field. He has some great moments as well. My biggest worry was that they were going to have Robinson/Boseman hit a homerun or get on base every time he was up, but they did a good job showing how that was a challenge as well. It makes for an inspiring work of art. Finally I have to say that 42 makes me appreciate Boseman even more. He got to play a young Thorogood Marshall and the Black Panther along with Jackie Robinson. He will be missed.

Supernatural Michael Myers hunts down his prey
Halloween 4 is a straight slasher film. It’s not really scary even though it tries. It focuses upon Danielle Harris who is the young daughter of Jamie Lee Curtis from the original film. Michael Myers is out to get her. Donald Pleasance also from the first movie is included again. The twist to the story is that Myers is given supernatural powers as he appears and disappears like a ghost sometimes which was included off and on throughout the franchise’s history. The main draw of the movie is to watch Myers hunt down his prey one by one. Not bad horror flick.

Nazi plots and double crosses
From the 1960s-70s there was a slew of films about Nazis. There was the Odessa File, the Running Man, the Boys from Brazil. The Holcroft Covenant came late to the game being released in 1985 but was again about a Nazi plot. In 1945 as Berlin was burning and the Third Reich was coming to an end, three Nazi officers created the Holcroft Covenant named after the German general who put it together. Years after the war the general’s son Noel Holcroft (Michael Caine) is informed that his father and two friends stole from Hitler and created a fund to make up for the wrongs of the Second World War. The account was worth $4.5 billion. The problem is there are several groups who are out for that money as well, which provides the gist of the story as Holcroft tries to find out what the fund is about and who is trying to kill him.<br /><br />Caine plays a character who is like a deer caught in the headlights. All these people come ot him about the covenant and he has no idea who they are or who to trust. The movie does a good job keeping the audience off balance and guessing as to who is who and whose side they are on. The conclusion however gets a little overblown when Holcroft tries to expose everything that’s been happening to him.<br />C

Delve deep into the psyche of a serial killer attempting to teach society about its sins
A serial killer sick of society’s corruption, Kevin Spacey. An old detective tired of the depravity of his city and the crimes that leads to, Morgan Freeman. A young and over zealous cop trying to prove himself, Brad Pitt. Those are the main characters in David Fincher’s Se7en a psychological thriller that changed the game when it came out.<br /><br />Spacey’s character is committing the seven deadly sins in what he believes will be a teaching moment for society. Freeman has the brains to break down the killer’s modus operandi, while Pitt is over his head and eventually becomes a victim. The film revolves around Spacey committing the crimes, while Freeman does all the research to figure out what he’s doing. Freeman knows where things are heading and that Spacey can’t be stopped. Still, it’s his job as police to continue with the investigation. Pitt is almost along for the ride and becomes increasingly angry that they can’t stop the murders.<br /><br />The movie has Fincher’s trademark dark hue throughout. Even when it’s sunny outside Fincher liked to give his scenes a shade to them to represent the mood of the film. Each murder becomes more and more sick. Thankfully Fincher saved the audience from seeing many of the gory details. As the movie progresses it goes deeper and deeper into the dark hole of Spacey’s psyche via Freeman’s work. That’s where all the drama comes from. Of course there’s a twist at the end for the last of the 7 deadly sins. In the end this proved to be one of the great procedural and psychological movies of its time.<br />C

A German version of the Great Escape
The McKenzie Break was another attempt to make a German version of The Great Escape. It included many of the same elements. There was deception by the prisoners, an escape attempt, the aftermath, etc. What it lacked was the wit and humor of The Great Escape. Still it was a pretty interesting and enjoyable movie and had its own original twists. Not a bad WWII film.

A curse leads to murder decdeit and betrayal
Vincent Price did a series of films based upon Edgar Allen Poe stories. This one was more inspired by his work rather than a direct adaptation. The story revolves around a curse which leads to murder, deceit and betrayal. Its origins are very interesting because it has to do with European abuse of Africa although that’s only mentioned and shown in passing.<br /><br />The movie starts off strong but then drags a bit in the middle. The ending makes up for that with some justice done and a Poe theme of being buried alive.<br /><br />Another horror heavy weight is amongst the cast as well. Christopher Lee plays a doctor who pays grave robbers to provide him bodies.

Proved to Hollywood that Asians can make great films that appeal across demographics
Crazy Rich Asians starts with two very important scenes. First, Michelle Yeoh playing matriarch Eleanor Young takes a family vacation to England and is denied service not once, but twice at a swanky hotel because she is Chinese. Unshaken she ends up calling the owner who comes down to personally welcome her in since the Young family is buying the establishment. Then Constance Wu as Rachel Chu is teaching a lesson in her economics class at New York University about how most people don’t play to win, but just not to lose. These both set up the entire story. Mrs Young works behind the scenes to protect her position and her family, while Rachel understands the psychology of others. The two will come to heads as Rachel wants to marry Mrs Young’s son played by Henry Golding as Nick Young. Mrs. Young doesn’t feel that Rachel is good enough because she’s American and doesn’t come from money. Rachel on the other hand has to fight against not only Mrs Young but an entire entourage of women who are all jealous of her.<br /><br />The movie is quite amazing having a good mix of comedy and romance. Awkwafina playing Peik Lin Goh for example steals the show every time she shows up such as when Rachel comes over for lunch and Peik Lin introduces her absurd family that includes Ken Jeong as her father or when she talks about how Mrs Young is a chicken and people don’t run from chickens. Peik Lin then starts bawking in a chicken impression. There’s added laughs with Ronny Chieng playing one of Nick’s cousins who only cares about the image of his family or a family friend Bernard Tai who puts on a bachelor party on a tanker ship off the shore of Singapore. The title of the film after all is Crazy Rich Asians and that’s what the characters are out to prove.<br /><br />Overall this is a great movie and proved that films featuring Asian casts can not only make great films but ones that appeal across demographics and bring in huge profits.

Dark comedy about crime and horror
Matthew Gray Gubler’s crazy girlfriend Anna Lynne McCord wants to rob her sugar daddy. You can tell it will go wrong the minute the idea comes out of her mouth. McCord plays a psychopath while Gubler’s character is naïve. It seems like this will be a crime drama, but it mixes in some dark comedy and horror as well. It plays upon popular white trash stereotypes. It was surprisingly good and glad it wasn’t just a heist gone wrong.

Amazing series about a quest to defeat evil
My son used to watch this show when he was growing up. He drew me in and I started watching the series on my own. Unfortunately I never saw it from start to finish which is why I ended up buying the DVD box set.<br /><br />The story is simple enough. It’s about good trying to defeat evil through a quest. It emphasized that there are no shortcuts in such a battle and everything must be prepared before the final conflict.<br /><br />The main draw of The Last Airbender is the characters. The one I liked the most was actually Iroh, the brother of the Fire Lord who provided wisdom and lots of comedy even though he worked for the bad guys. He was always taking the time to enjoy the simple things in life like a good cup of tea or food or a bath.<br /><br />The adventure was just as good. The story is broken up into three chapters representing the elements that the Avatar had to master before he could take on the Fire Nation. Amazingly the writing was consistent throughout the entire series. There’s not a single episode, and there are A LOT of them, that dips in quality. There are also discs with bonus material on the series.<br /><br />I haven’t watched this show in years but it hasn’t dropped in its appeal one bit.

More than a heist flick about Gordon-Levitt dealing with disability
The Lookout is about Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s disability. He got into a car accident and suffered brain damage which effects his memory. Some people try to manipulate him to rob a bank that he works at. The movie has a good start as it covers the day to day frustrations in Gordon-Levitt’s life as he can’t remember the littlest things. The story then becomes about whether he can really become corrupted or not. It’s a very different take on a heist film but it’s much more than that as it’s really about Gordon-Levitt’s life. Very well made overall.

The best of The Conjuring offshoot films
The success of The Conjuring created an entire franchise with several spin offs including the Annabelle movies. This was the first which featured the doll that was a side story in The Conjuring. The funny thing is if you Google the real Annabelle it turns out to be a large Raggedy Ann doll and not scary in the least bit.<br /><br />The first thing that stands out about the movie is that it creates a normal American family with Annabelle Wallis and Ward Horton and then suddenly throws in a moment of total unexpected terror. That’s the pace of the film. There’s middle class American tranquility disturbed by shocking scenes. I got scared a couple of times and that rarely happens these days. Out of all the Conjuring offshoots this one might be the best one.

Pixie - She's smart and more importantly a master manipulator
Pixie is a crime drama about Olivia Cooke/Pixie taking off with two hapless guys Ben Hardy and Daryl McCormack who unexpectedly came across a whole bag of drugs. They romp around Ireland trying to get rid of it which only gets them into more trouble. Cooke shines in her role as the brains behind the haphazard outfit. She’s smart, she’s a bit ruthless plus she’s completely manipulative which actually proves quite easy with Hardy and McCormack who are like kids playing with adults. Even better is Alex Baldwin as the leader of a gun totting crew of priests and nuns. There are of course plenty of light moments and jokes thrown in as well. It’s a nice take on the genre.

Beatles' happy go lucky attitude and music makes this a classic
The Beatles’ happy go lucky attitudes mixed in with a bunch of their songs is what makes A Hard Days Night a classic. You get a real sense of their personalities as well as what it’s like to be a Rock Star with crowds constantly chasing them. They were really funny as well from John Lennon playing in the tub with a toy submarine to Ringo doing an interview where he’s asked whether he’s a Mod or a Rocker and he says he’s a Mocker.

When a state tries to control its population it always fosters resistance
After a third world war devastates the Earth people come up with a new totalitarian state that regulates human expression claiming that is the only way to ensure stability and prevent another war. Clerics who are more like super warriors are established to monitor society and the population is drugged to suppress their emotions. The story is a classic one of how a government’s attempt to control people’s minds always leads to resistance.<br /><br />The movie lays out how oppressive the government is and how the clerics enforce the system at the start. Preston is presented as a torn soul. He killed both his wife and his boss which leads to nightmares. It’s those types of emotions that the government fears and will lead him to question the status quo. The idea is that if people think and express their free will they will eventually turn on any system that is out to control them.<br /><br />Interspersed with Preston’s soul searching are some very elaborate fight scenes. The clerics for instance have their own fighting style and Preston gets to show it off several times taking down a slew of people in the process.<br /><br />The story is interesting, the action is good but there is just something missing from the story to fully draw in the audience and make it great.<br />C

Beauty of invention tampered by competition and reality of financing
Current War is about the rivalry between Thomas Edison (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George Westinghouse (Michael Shannon) over how to spread electricity throughout the United States. They compete over financing, government backing and contracts because only with Washington D.C.’s support, millions of dollars, and getting cities to buy their system can they make their dreams come true. The movie is a lesson about invention and business.<br /><br />The movie begins with the joy of invention and the miracle of electricity but quickly turns to a cutthroat competition. There’s the creation of light bulbs, the electrification of cities, the attacks they make upon each other in the press. A third inventor enters the field as well with Nikola Tesla (Nicholas Hoult) who worked for Edison and then went independent. For all its emphasis upon the genius of Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla, it’s the bankers with the money that end up determining things, which is a lesson in business. J.P. Morgan (Matthew Macfadyen) after all financed both men.<br /><br />There’s also a side story about how Edison helped invent the electric chair and the first execution using it. That’s a lesson about how invention can not only further human evolution but be used for ending life as well.<br /><br />The lessons from the movie is that money determines how inventions are used and they can be for good and bad for society.<br />C

Apt Pupil is another adaptation of a Stephen King story. It’s about high school student Brad Renfro facing what he thinks is the ultimate evil a former Nazi played by Ian McKellen. What Renfro wants from McKellen is to hear a firsthand account of the Nazi atrocities. The question is why is Renfro doing this and what is he getting out of it? More importantly how is Renfro changed by the experience? Will he transform into a monster like McKellen or is this just some sort of perverse interest in a dark side of History? It definitely makes for an interesting movie.

Costs of working in a highly competitive field
The costs of working in a highly competitive field with lots of backbiting is the theme of Black Swan. Natalie Portman has bruises on her back. She gets to her dance group and women are putting down another dancer for her age. She cuts out all the cushions in her ballerina shoes. She dreams of being the lead in a production. This is the world the main character lives within. The pressure from all sides and from herself begins eating at her. It begs the questions of whether she can handle the situation or will she crack? Winona Ryder makes brief appearances but foreshadows what lays ahead for Portman if she continues on with her current path. Barbara Hershey is Portman’s obsessive mother who is another source of pain for her. There are also strong performances by Mila Kunis as a rival dancer and Vincent Cassel as the head of the company.

Very smart heist film showing women can be criminals too
This time the women get to have some fun carrying off a complicated heist. That’s the basis of Ocean’s 8.<br /><br />The movie is obviously based upon the Ocean’s Eleven series and the main character Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) is the sister of Frank Ocean (George Clooney) from those movies. Debbie gets out of prison and decides to pull off a grand heist with the help of seven other women. Just like the Ocean’s series the heist relies upon deception, acting, an inside woman this time, and theres a twist at the end.<br /><br />Having an all-star female cast is a great addition to the Ocean’s films. Women just aren’t girlfriends and supporting players they can be master criminals as well. The story is very smart, there’s some comedy and the robbery is fantastic.<br />C

A man becomes so obsessed with a case he gets into a twisted love triangle
Vertigo was another one of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic movies. This was a thriller where Jimmy Stewart as Scottie Ferguson is hired by his old friend Gavin (Tom Helmore) to follow his wife Madeleine (Kim Novak). He’s afraid that she’s become obsessed with a person from the 19th Century and that she might hurt herself as a result. The story dramatically escalates after that into an unexpected love triangle and intrigue as well.<br /><br />The title comes from the fact that Ferguson has a fear of heights and suffers from vertigo as a result. Hitchcock does a great job portraying what that’s like for Ferguson in a series of scenes with flashing colors and spinning graphics.<br /><br />What drives the story is Ferguson’s obsession with the case. It gets so bad he becomes a stalker. In this movie it makes it seem like something natural but today Stewart would be seen as a creepy old man. Still, it’s a great performance.<br />C

Starts with a tragedy and ends with one
Mystic River is a crime drama but it’s really a tragedy. Sean Penn’s daughter is found dead and Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne investigate the case. It’s a tragedy because people jump to assumptions and want to take the law into their own hands which leads to unintended consequences. Clint Eastwood directed the film and lets it play out very slowly building up the story. All the performances are very strong. The tragedy at the end really hits hard and is the reason to watch this movie.

Contrasts end of the Shogunate with a samurai's life Just wished there was less melodrama
The Last Samurai takes place at the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate when different clans were battling for the future of the country. That’s shown by the opening scene which has the Shinsengumi, a group of ronin (masterless samurai) who were organized to protect the regime in Kyoto in their famous raid against the Choshu clan in 1864. There is nothing but dead bodies and blood in the aftermath. That’s what Japan was coming to at this time, total chaos. Into this mix comes Sugi Toransuke (Hideki Takahashi). The question is will he survive this tumultuous period and if he does what will he find on the other side?<br /><br />The conflict in the movie is between Toransuke’s immediate situation and his future. In the present, he wants to get involved in the battle for the country. His teacher is on the side of the Shogunate and he desperately want to join him. His teacher however sees the largely picture and tells Toransunke he needs to live to see the new age that is coming and constantly tries to preserve his life. The problem is Toransuke is stubborn.<br /><br />There are swordfights along the way and even three big battles but that’s really secondary to the direction Toransunke’s life will take. The problem is much of that part of the film is melodrama. What saves it is the end. I just wish they had edited the middle more.<br />C

Story implodes with ridiculous climax
X-Men Last Stand which was the first cinematic rendition of the Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix character. It was another rendition of the humans vs mutant story as the humans come up with a cure for mutation. The film had such great promise but just became a mess by the end.<br /><br />Things start with a CGI’d young Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen) visiting a very young Jean Grey in an attempt to bring her into their school for mutants. She immediately shows off her awesome powers by levitating all the cars in the neighborhood. That’s where there’s a cameo by Stan Lee. The scene would be revisited in the middle of the movie to dramatic effect.<br /><br />The plot centers around the famous conflict between humans and mutants. The former fear the rise of super beings and create a serum that neutralizes the mutant gene. The government of course weaponizes the drug. Magneto believes this will mean genocide for his people and creates an army of mutants to counter the state. The X-Men are concerned as well and get caught between the government and Magneto. The moralism of this issue is actually brought up a few times in the movie and is important to consider.<br /><br />In a bit of Marvel nerdery the Worthington Labs is the company that comes up with the serum. Worthington being the family of the Angel who makes a few cameos in the movie and who was one of the original X-Men in the comics.<br /><br />There are great things in the beginning that showed the potential of the movie. For instance, the X-Men are in a training scenario in the danger room that includes Colossus throwing Wolverine in what’s called a fastball special in the comics to destroy a giant robot that is modeled after the Sentinels, machines created to kill mutants. Jean Grey played by Famke Janssen who died in the previous movie, also comes back to life, and kills her boyfriend Cyclops played by James Marsden.<br /><br />There’s also some deft casting such as Kelsey Grammer as the Beast. His voice and demeaner is perfect for the character who is part genius.<br /><br />Where things go wrong is at the end. There’s a huge confrontation between six X-Men and Magneto's army and it is so ridiculous, so unbelievable, so badly choreographed that it simply undermines the whole thing. How can a movie that started off so well go so badly?<br /><br />Overall, the first 2/3 of X-Men Last Stand is great, and then that’s ruined by the conclusion.<br /><br />Last note, don’t forget the secret ending.<br />C

I truly love this movie because it spoofs the entire Marvel Cintematic Universe
I saw this movie on opening night and thought it was amazing. It made me laugh. It made me cry. I think one big thing that people miss about the film is that it is a satire of the superhero genre. This is something director Taika Waititi has become known for with movies like JoJo Rabbit where a young Hitler Youth believes that good old Adolph shows up at his house to talk to him while he makes friends with a Jew.<br /><br />The opening has a story about Thor which reduces him to an action hero and nothing else. That of course is the trope all comic book protagonists follow. Yes they might have girlfriends and families, etc, but in the end they are just about the big confrontations that happen at the end of every story. Here Waititi just takes that entire thing to task. For example, Thor saves the Guardians of the Galaxy but then destroys the temple of the people they were supposed to help while the new Asgard has been reduced to a tourist trap to fund itself.<br /><br />Waititi was given control of his second Marvel movie and decided to spoof the entire franchise and he did an amazing job There is so much ridiculous over the top things happening in this movie. It is all highly entertaining and has to be one of my favorite in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. I couldn’t stop laughing.<br /><br />Not the whole movie is like that however. The ending is very touching and personal about Bale’s character and Thor. It will hit you in the gut.<br /><br />If you can’t tell I truly love this film.

2nd installment of Star Trek franchise returned with the winning formula
Into Darkness was the second Star Trek film in the reboot. It was loosely based upon 1982’s Wrath of Khan this time featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain mixed in with a rogue Starfleet officer. One of the main things that worked in the first film was that it recaptured a lot of the nostalgia from the original TV series from the 1960s. They did it again with the big action intro that had Spock/Zachary Quinto facing death and Captain Kirk/Chris Pine having to improvise to save him. There was also the banter between Kirk, Spock and other major crew members “Bones” McCoy/Karl Urban, Scotty/Simon Pegg, and Uhura/Zoe Saldana. This proved a winning formula with jokes, action, and a story full of twists and turns.

What people are willing to do for love
I have never seen Psycho all the way through until now. I can remember growing up and my mom talking about it all the time and how she got freaked out to take a shower after she saw it when it came out.<br /><br />The beginning is very interesting. First there are several shots of Janet Leigh in her bra. Didn’t think that was common during this time with the movie code. Then she steals a bunch of money from her boss. She did it for love which is the theme of the film. Leigh loves her boyfriend John Gavin and then she runs into Anthony Perkins at the Bates Motel who loves his mom.<br /><br />There were other surprises in the story as well such as when the famous shower scene occurred. In fact, I thought the whole film was about Leigh but it’s not. Perkins also has this great crazed look in the final two scenes. The plot shows Alfred Hitchcock’s love of psychology which he would explore in other films such as Vertigo and Marnie.<br /><br />Psycho isn’t really scary but it is a very good suspense thriller.

Another attempt to add something new to romantic-comedies
How To Be Single is the latest twist on the traditional romantic-comedy. The concept is to focus upon several women at a turning point in their lives. Dakota Johnson just broke up with her boyfriend. Her sister Leslie Mann is starting to think about having children. Alison Brie just wants to meet the right man. Rebel Wilson is the exception because she just wants to party, have sex, and stay single. A lot of the movie is spent at bars and parties, and touches on some of modern dating like using apps. Wilson provides almost all the laughs although Brie has a breakdown while reading to little children that’s pretty funny. The stories of the four main characters play out pretty predictably but it is a fun and mindless ride.

Postapocalyptic story where knowledge equals power
Book of Eli was a post-apocalyptic tale directed by the Hughes Brothers. It featured Denzel Washington as Eli, a man on a quest to get to the west coast. He was bringing knowledge with him, which Gary Oldman as Carnegie believed could be used to seize power.<br /><br />The movie’s world is about survival and desperation after things have been destroyed by nuclear war such as when Eli hunts a cat for food. It’s about kill or be killed as he comes across a woman faking to be in distress which is actually an ambush for a gang. Eli doesn’t like this world. He’s a man apart. He doesn’t like using violence even though he often has to. He doesn’t like how callous people have become because he’s religious. At the same time he feels like he’s on a mission and has to ignore the evil around him.<br /><br />Eli comes into a town run by Gary Oldman as Carnegie simply seeking a place to temporarily stay, but gets caught up in the politics of the place. Carnegie is searching for a Bible so that he might use it to organize society once again with him at the top. When he finds out that Eli might have a copy he tries by hook and by crook to get it. That includes sending in Mila Kunis as Solara to seduce him and his henchmen led by Ray Stevenson as Redridge to kill him, but they all fail. That creates the dilemma for the movie as Eli is caught up with Carnegie and company when he just wants to go west.<br /><br />The movie has great settings portraying the destruction of the world. Denzel as usual does a fine job in the lead. I suggest people watch it two times because when they go back through it they’ll understand it better, especially the twist at the end.

Good update of the classic Mod Squad TV show
I liked this movie right from the start. Each character had a strong personality from Giovanni Ribisi as a screw up, Claire Danes as the conflicted young woman, and Omar Epps who hated the world. The story went right into the case rather than wasting time. There’s action, intrigue, betrayal. The music is a great mix of old tunes from the 1960s when Mod Squad was on TV and new ones. It’s all a great mix.
