Not an essential Spike Lee joint
Summer of Sam is another Spike Lee ode to New York City. It focuses upon three friends, Joh. Leguizamo, Mira Sovino, and Adrien Brody in the summer of 1977 and how the killer the Son of Sam tore them apart. The problem is that like a lot of Lee’s early films the story goes all over the place and people probably lost focus. It reminds me of Crooklyn in that sense. What I liked were the small bits of New York that Lee always includes like an argument over Mickey Mantle vs Willie Mayes, a concert at the famed CBGB’s Punk club, and the Yankees winning the World Series. Overall I don’t think this is an essential Lee joint.

CBGB was a dive bar that booked bands no one else would touch
CBGB attempts to tell the story of the legendary New York City club that helped give birth to Punk Rock and alternative bands.<br /><br />The main character was Hilly Kristal played by Alan Richman who opened Country Blue Grass and Blues (CBGB) in the Bowery in the lower east side of NYC, one of the most rundown parts of Manhattan. He started booking bands that were just starting out and no one else was interested in because he had a dive bar in a bad part of town so why not? He also saw something in these bands, their potential. Richman did an amazing job with the character. He has a tendency to slow down his speech and talk very low to ask someone for something and they amazingly do it.<br /><br />Besides Kristal being a real character the other star of the movie is the bands that started playing at CBGB and their music. The first is Television, followed by Talking Heads, Blondie, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and the Dead Boys. The last band gets the most time because Kristal managed the band.<br /><br />If you love music then this is a great movie.<br />C

Son dealing with his father's legacy
Smoke Signals is a moving yet funny story about loss, remembrance, and coming to terms with one’s parents. Part of the movie is Adam Beach thinking about his recently passed father Gary Farmer. His dad was drunk, abusive and yet the center of Beach’s world when he was a kid. By doing so Beach finds out about himself. The background to all this is Native American culture which is often dealt with in humorous ways. There are many stories however which as one character points out is maintaining the oral tradition of Indians. Another time a woman says Beach and his friend Evan Adams are like the Lone Ranger and Tonto and Adams replies they’re more like Tonto and Tonto.

Seth MacFarlane and company dropped the ball with the writing
I’ve enjoyed Seth MacFarlane’s work before on TV and in the movies but he couldn’t pull off this Western. It’s just that the writing was really up and down. There’s be one funny part followed by two scenes that didn’t work.<br /><br />I tried giving it a chance but I eventually lost interest again, because it was too inconsistent.

If not for Nick Nolte this would be a 1 star film
The most important thing to know about Angel Has Fallen is that the writing is so bad that you can figure out who the bad guy is and the twist in the story right away. That means you're just left watching George Butler as Secret Service agent Mike Banning being chased around and a bunch of gun play.<br /><br />The second thing you need to know is that Nick Nolte as Banning's father completely steals every scene that he is in. He is hilarious. His performance alone makes this very bad movie watchable which is quite an accomplishment.

Had talking heads describe Ali WAAAY more than letting the man speak for himself
The Trials is another biography of Muhammad Ali. It goes through familiar stories of his original backers in Louisville, the Nation of Islam, etc. The main problem is that it is almost all talking heads more than footage of Muhammad Ali. When I watch movies about him I want to see him. Those interviews should be supportive of the man in his own words but this film didn’t do that. That also meant they allowed things like the Nation of Islam to deny that they killed Malcolm X when they did. That just adds to my disappointment with this documentary.

Might be most disappointing Jackie Chan film I've ever seen
This might be the most disappointing Jackie Chan film I’ve ever seen! It starts off with a greatest hits montage of the scene from Police Story I which featured some of Chan’s most iconic stunts. Then the movie goes nowhere. Chan is investigating a bomb threat against a rich businessman but the whole movie is about the investigation with very little action. There’s only two memorable fight scenes. This is not what you expect from a Jackie Chan flick.

Classic Film Noir of a man who can't say no to a woman who means nothing but trouble
Lady From Shanghai is a classic Film Noir made by Orson Wells who co-wrote, produced, directed and starred in the movie. He plays Michael O’Hara who falls for a woman named Elsa (Rita Hayworth) who he rescues from a mugging in New York’s Central Park. She offers him a job on a boat trip to San Francisco which he accepts. She says she’ll make it worth his while but it turns out she’s married to a crippled lawyer Arthur Bannister (Everett Sloane). She is the definition of a Femme Fatale and will be nothing but trouble for O’Hara.<br /><br />Right from the start O’Hara knows he shouldn’t get involved with Elsa but he does anyway. For instance after saving her in the park he notes that she had a gun in her purse but threw it away. She claims she didn’t know how to shoot it. He replies “It’s easy you just pull the trigger.” That’s some of the quick, fast and witty dialogue the best Noir’s were known for. When he finds out she has a husband he notes he didn’t like married women and if she would fool her spouse she would definitely fool him. Then Mr. Bannister comes to recruit him for the trip and O’Hara promises he won’t accept but does anyway. He says that Mr. Bannister was like a “sleeping rattlesnake.” Here again O’Hara sees the warning signs about taking up Elsa on her offer and yet he can’t turn her down especially when she pleads with him in a sexy little sailor outfit. This is another Noir trope, the male main character feeling helpless against the odds. So what if it is of his own making in this case. The fact that he feels trapped by Elsa’s beauty is all part of the thrill of this genre. You can also tell where the story is going but you play along just to see how it will work out and what dark fate awaits O’Hara and Elsa.<br /><br />The climax is one of the classics in cinema where O’Hara and Elsa confront each other in a hall of mirrors in San Francisco. It’s symbolic of the confused relationship between the two as well as them having to face themselves.<br /><br />Overall this is a great Noir. It has all the elements and Wells and Hayworth play their roles to a T.

Completely changed the zombie genre
World War Z was based upon a best-selling novel of the same title. It completely changed the zombie genre, and was one of the best films of the year when it came out.<br /><br />The movie focuses upon Bradd Pitt as Gerry Lane, a man with experience in conflict zones around the world who is asked by the acting head of the United Nations Fana Mokoena as Thierry Umutoni to try to discover the cause of the zombie apocalypse so that scientists might start working on a cure. Things automatically go wrong and Gerry has to travel the world to South Korea to Israel and to England investigate.<br /><br />This is the Unrated Version, which I wish would have been the theatrical release, but they didn’t want an R rating. Unless you really know the film, you probably even wouldn’t notice the differences between the two because they are very subtle. One that stands out is when Gerry is in Israel and a zombie bites the arm of a soldier named Segen played by Daniella Kertesz. In the Unrated Version you get a graphic amputation as Gerry cuts off her arm to try to stop the infection from spreading with some gushing blood.<br /><br />What made this movie so good was the zombies. Since the start they had always been portrayed as slow moving living dead, which people could outrun if given the chance. Here, zombies were like the undead on steroids. They ran, they jumped, they were like wild beasts hungry for flesh! They swarmed like bees. They took leaps off buildings. They breached walls. It was incredibly exciting and created lots of tension when they showed up because people really had to run for their lives to survive. This really put World War Z heads and shoulders above most horror films and it’s still fun to watch to this day.<br />C

Enjoyable Kung Fu Fun
Bruce Li and Angela Mao want to close down Paul Smith’s illegal businesses and get caught in the middle of a gang war. I immediately liked the dynamic between Mao and Li. At the start she’s beating up all of Smith’s henchmen. The next she sneaks up on some other tough guys and takes their guns before they can ambush Li. The problem was she just didn’t get enough screen time to make them a real dynamic duo.<br /><br />Still the story was engaging as it expanded from Smith to another gang and then some surprises. Most importantly the fight scenes were well done. Then at the end however Smith turns into the Hulk and it gets a bit ridiculous!<br /><br />Last but not least this movie company had no regard for copyright. There are two club scenes which feature big American hits from the 1970s. The main background music comes from a Bruce Lee film and then in the climax they even used a bit of a James Bond tune in there.<br /><br />Even though it gets a bit over the top at the end I enjoyed Return Of The Tiger.

A family friendly version of the Mummy but still a really good film
The Mummy was a family friendly version of the horror genre. That means there’s nothing really scary, and there are plenty of laughs. Despite that, the film is still wildly enjoyable.<br /><br />The story centers around an American Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser) who was in the French Foreign Legion when he came upon an ancient ruin in the Egyptian desert. He believes there might be treasure there and hooks up with the siblings Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) and Jonathan Carnahan (John Hannah) for help. Evelyn is an Egyptologist who can decipher the secrets of the crypt they find. On the other hand, Rick’s Foreign Legion friend Beni (Kevin O’Connor) works with another group of treasure hunters that are intent upon beating Rick’s group to the gold. Unfortunately they end up releasing a curse instead in the form of an ancient priest Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) who sets a plague upon Egypt.<br /><br />The movie has great pacing. There’s plenty of action as shown right from the start when Rick and Beni fight off a group of Arabs in a battle that reveals the ruins or when Rick battles Imhotep and a group of mummies at the end. The wisecracks are good for a laugh as well. The movie keeps the iconography of the mummy genre going, so the light take doesn’t disrespect the history.<br /><br />The film was so popular it led to a series of sequels all of which are pretty bad. This is the one you really need to see.<br />C

The original Great Escape
This movie is based upon a true story when the Nazis tried to create an escape proof prison full of Allied prisoners who’d made escape attempts before. Of course as soon as the soldiers showed up they started planning ways to get out. The movie actually starts like a comedy as all the different nationalities literally fall on top of each other with their different plans. The plot would maintain that light mood for many moments and then throw in something more serious. Watching it it’s hard not to compare it to The Great Escape. I think they’re both good.

Shocking and emotional
Blackfish is a documentary that tries to explain how a Sea World trainer was killed by a Killer Whale in 2010. The story gets surprisingly emotional at times like when they tell the story of how they originally captured the whales. There are other moments like that as the story becomes one about systemic abuse. The movie is really amazing. Once you start watching it you can’t stop and this is a traditional documentary with one talking head after another which I really don’t like. It’s also shocking because I used to go see Killer Whale shows when I was a kid. I had no idea the story behind them.

Not bad for 70s crime flick with Bill Cosby standing out
This was a take-off of the I Spy TV series featuring Bill Cosby as Hickey and Robert Culp as Boggs. They play hard up private detectives hired to find a missing woman named Mary Jane Bower. That leads them to three hitmen, a bank robbery and a lot of dead people.<br /><br />The first thing that stands out is that this is not your typical Cosby role. He’s desperate for money. He has an estranged wife and kid. He’s the first one to get his gun and he even curses. Cliff Huxtable he is not.<br /><br />The story itself is a bit like a hardboiled detective story.

Penguins and lemurs stole this movie from Marty the zebra and Alex the lion
Madagascar was a Dream Works animated comedy about a bunch of New York City zoo animals who get shipwrecked in Madagascar and have to learn how to survive outside of captivity.<br /><br />The movie has a large ensemble cast. While the main characters were Chris Rock as Marty the Zebra and Ben Stiller as Alex the lion, the side characters actually stole the show. There were a group of penguins for example who were also launching plots. They were so popular they ended up getting their own spinoff film. There were also some chimps who always talk about throwing poo at people. At the very top however was a colony of lemurs in Madagascar led by King Julien XIII (Sacha Baron Cohen). Their main priority is to party and survive the predators on the island.<br /><br />The dilemma in the story turns out to be Alex realizing that he eats meet and wants to eat all his friends the longer they stay in Madagascar. Can his animal instincts be overcome by friendship?<br /><br />Overall Madagascar was a very entertaining and fun movie especially with those penguins and lemurs.<br />C

Captures a special period in music history
This movie brings back so many memories. This is about the people I grew up with. I know almost everyone in this documentary. There’s even a picture of one of the bands Crimpshrine playing in my living room in Richmond in the house my mom still lives in to this day. I remember all these bands, all the places like Ruthie’s Inn to New Method to Own’s Pizza. I mean me and my friend Rick who is in the movie put in the toilets at 924 Gilman St. It just creates a huge amount of nostalgia. The pictures, the interviews, the music are all great.

Creation of Israel full of melodrama sappiness and bad dialogue
Cast A Giant Shadow has such a bad melodramatic start. Kirk Douglas is a retired American officer who gets recruited by Zionists to advise them. What happens next? He has to explain himself to his wife Angie Dickinson who goes on a long monologue about men going off to war replete with them dancing. That’s not the only time the movie turns to a sappy love story.<br /><br />When things finally get to Palestine it depicts the Haganah which recruited Douglas as victims. They are under attack by Arab villagers. Are denied entry to Palestine by the British authorities. They get taunted by Arab fighters and there’s the diatribe about a small group of Jews being surrounded by hostile Arab states. It also shows the comradery of the group with plenty of singing and dancing.<br /><br />The second half of the film is about the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the underdog theme continues along with the love story and some bad dialogue to boot.<br /><br />I know some will say it’s an inspirational story about the struggle to establish the state of Israel but it could have been so much better.

Fitting conclusion to Evil Dead trilogy Ash deals with a medieval dead in this horror-comedy classic
Army of Darkness was the third film in the Evil Dead series. Once again it starred Bruce Campbell as Ash and was directed by Sam Raimi. The first Evil Dead was a school movie project turned into reality about a haunted cabin using a shoestring budget. Evil Dead 2 was where they went back to the cabin with more money and effects and started to play with the horror genre. Army of Darkness actually started off at the very end of the last one as Ash defeated the evil in the woods only to be sent back to medieval Europe. There Ash again faced evil, but this time Raimi mixed the horror with comedy to great effect. That couldn’t be accomplished without Campbell who was the perfect foil for the story.<br /><br />The story centered around Ash trying to find the Necronomicon, the Mesopotamian book of the dead in medieval Europe so that he could get back to his time period. During the course of that quest he runs into not only the evil dead, but an entire army of them that lay siege to a castle that Ash has promised to protect. This showed off what Raimi could do with an even bigger budget than his last film as there were far more effects, plus plenty of wardrobe with the medieval outfits.<br /><br />Raimi also let Bruce Campbell go with Ash. When he first uses his shotgun for example he tells everyone to “Shop smart, Shop S-Mart” like he was doing an infomercial. Later he had to fight off an army of small versions of himself who constantly laughed and made fun of him, while trying to find the Necronomicon. One actually went down his throat and he had to find a way to get it out. Next thing he knows he has a twin growing out of his side. Evil Dead 2 already had some of this, but Raimi went all in on the Comedy-Horror vein in this film.<br /><br />Army of Darkness was a fitting conclusion to the Evil Dead trilogy.<br />C

Low brow comedy that's actually about questioning faith
I remember seeing this in the theater and I was not ready for it. They instantly introduced you to what the movie is going to be like in the opening song which includes cursing, Nazi jokes and hot dogs and buns talking about having sex after they’re bought by a customer. I should’ve known this was going to be some low brow humor since Seth Rogan is one of the main voices. The gist of the movie is that a sausage/Seth Rogen, a bun/KristinWiig, a bagel/Edward Norton and some lavash/David Krumholtz explore their grocery store after they escape their shelves. It actually is really funny because it’s so over the top. Not only that but the theme of the movie is questioning faith and beliefs. Yes a movie with a bunch of food cursing and talking about sex turns out to be dispelling religion. All the products were told a myth about what happens to them when they’re bought but Rogan and company want to find the truth.

The Riddler thinks he's saving Gotham just like Batman
I really liked the start of this film. Batman/Robert Pattinson was doing a voice over about being a vigilante. It showed that there was rampant crime and vandalism in Gotham which led to the action It set a dark mood throughout the film. The plot was about The Riddler/Paul Dano going on a crusade against the powerful in Gotham who were all corrupt. He believed that he was a hero trying to fix the city just like Batman.<br /><br />I thought Robert Pattinson as Batman/Wayne was a bit too emo for me with the moody scowls, etc. On the other hand, I liked how he missed some major clues set by the Riddler so he wasn’t perfect like he’s often portrayed. Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon and John Turturro as the mobster Carmine Falcone were all great. Dano played a convincing psychopath. There was a good twist at the end where the Riddler was able to organize other extremists who all felt like they were vigilantes.<br /><br />I have to admit the first time I saw The Batman in the theater I thought it was way too long. After a second viewing I enjoyed it much more.

A most unusual story of revenge
Christopher Plummer wakes up in a nursing home to find out that his wife has died. He then sets out on a mission to get revenge upon a Nazi guard from the Auschwitz extermination camp where his family died. The movie is very interesting because it keeps on playing upon Plummer’s growing dementia. Whenever he wakes up for example he keeps calling for his wife as if she’s still alive. The past also comes up in his mission as Plummer runs into all kinds of old Germans who have their own story of what happened to them during the war. It is a completely unusual story of revenge with a huge twist at the end. Plummer is great in his role and creates immediate empathy for his character.

Writing was really inconsistent
I gotta say some parts of this story make no sense. Andy Lau is a warlord in China who has guns but gets ambushed by guys with axes. His wife gets thrown down and she gets knocked out? This was supposed to add to the drama and action but just makes you shake your head.<br /><br />After that sort of ridiculous intro the movie settles down to Andy Lau’s rebirth. He joins the Shaolin temple and finds out what life is really all about. Of course there’s plenty of martial arts mixed in as well because it is Shaolin after all. That includes training with a little kid on a cold night which is cute. Jackie Chan is featured as well as a mentor for Lau.<br /><br />Everything seems on course again, but then they drag out the ending.<br /><br />Overall this movie is really up and down in quality.

Went from cheap exploitation into trying to be a thriller
This movie is infamous because of Denise Richards’ nude scene. I was wondering if the movie was actually about something. It turns out to be trash that tries to turn into a thriller. The first half is so bad. It’s like an exploitation flick with a car wash scene with two high school girls followed by Richards walking into Matt Dillon’s house dripping wet. The only redeeming quality is Bill Murray being Dillon’s lawyer. He had some great scenes especially in court while Richards had her moments talking about how spoiled she was. These helped make up for the garbage plot. Then it tries to get all serious in the second half!

You can't trust a single thing that comes out of Suge's mouth
Movie director Antoine Fuqua had a series of one on one talks with Suge Knight from 2011-12 with some additional interviews with his family that became the basis of this documentary.<br /><br />The first thing that struck me was the contradictions in his stories about growing up. He talks about how hard his life was and how everyone was for himself. He claimed he went to a family function and no one made him a plate and he went without eating and that was a life lesson. He grew up with both parents and his uncles and we’re supposed to believe no one got him any food???? He talked about how his neighborhood was all Bloods but he wasn’t running with them. He was playing football the entire time. Finally, he got a contract with the Los Angeles Rams and claims the NFL was like a slave plantation, and that’s why he didn’t play. In fact he got cut during training camp and only got called back during the players’ strike. This seems like a re-occurring theme of his stories. He exaggerated things left and right. Later on in the doc Suge denies all kinds of things that he did. The basic take away is that you can’t trust anything this man says. It doesn’t help that he’s high and drunk all the time. In fact, he throws up at one point probably from drinking too much.<br /><br />What was more convincing was when Knight got into music he used threats and violence to get his way. That’s documented in court papers, some of which they show in the film.

Still irreverent and fun
Wayne’s World was one of the few Saturday Night Live skits to become a successful film. The spirit of the movie was captured in the second scene as Mike Myers, Dana Carvey and crew sing along to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody in their car. It was irreverent and fun. Myers was also talking into the camera directly at the audience years before Deadpool did it. The film contains some great spoofs like one segment they have on product placement in movies. All together that makes Wayne’s World entertaining to this day.

Cain's character is good but I was expecting more from the story overall
Michael Cain plays a cold blooded criminal plotting a complicated heist. He’s getting information about the target from James Fox who he doesn’t quite trust. The story follows a familiar path of coming up with a plan, forming a crew, etc. There’s one twist where a loner kid at a private school gest involved by accident. I’m not sure that was really necessary. Cain’s character is the best part of the film. He’s mild mannered at one moment and then completely ruthless the next. In the end I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting more.

A deal with the devil
Ten Seconds To Hell is about a group of German soldiers who return to Berlin after World War II and are tasked with defusing unexploded bombs. It focuses upon a dance with the devil as the men bet on who will stay alive.<br /><br />The start makes no sense however. A voice over said that they were German soldiers and thus not favored by the Nazis? Huh???<br /><br />The movie is actually good so it makes up for that huge gaff. It focuses upon the mechanics of defusing bombs which of course creates the tension. One man in a pit with a large bomb that could explode at any moment is quite a show.<br /><br />The film was also made in Berlin in 1959 when there was still war damage adding to the realism.

Such a moving story about a girl forced out into the world on her own
I thought this movie was about a young Filipina teen in Texas wanting to be a Country singer but it’s about so much more. It’s really about an immigrant experience in America. Eva Noblezada’s mom Princess Punzalan is an illegal and gets caught by immigration at the start of the film separating the two forcing Noblezada to fend for herself. Music turns out to be her escape from her hard times. It’s a very moving and powerful story about survival, perseverance and soul.

Chemistry between Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan off screen translated on screen
It was pretty amazing but with each Rush Hour they actually got better. Rush Hour 2 had more action and was funnier than the first.<br /><br />Director Brett Rattner got things started with his ode to Bruce Lee with the opening that was inspired by Enter the Dragon and even had a theme song by Lalo Schifrin who did the score for the Lee movie as well.<br /><br />Really though all the Rush Hour films were driven by the chemistry between Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. They really liked each other off screen and that came off on the screen. That’s shown right at the start as they’re singing a Beach Boys song together. Chan even got to throw in one fight sequence using his trademark acrobatic style of jumping around sofas. It’s fun stuff.

The food and dinner table binds the family together but is also where the troubles start
Tortilla soup is about a close knit Mexican-American family led by chef Martin Naranjo (Hector Elizondo) and his three daughters Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors), Leticia (Elizabeth Pena), and Maribel (Tamara Mello) who still live with him. Each one starts moving on with their lives (moving out, finding a husband, etc.) creating the dilemma of whether they can keep their bond or not.<br /><br />Food and dinner acts as the binding for the family. Martin makes huge elaborate meals every night and dinner is the one time when everyone comes together. It’s also an expression of the father’s love of his daughters. That’s also where the problems arise. The daughters make their announcements there, almost all of which anger and confuse Martin. It turns out the dad has some tricks of his own.<br /><br />The film presents a very heart felt, funny and cute portrayal of the Naranjo family.<br />C

Songs were pretty good and the interview had some depth
Guitar Center did a series of these videos where they would interview artists and then have them perform. In this case it was Megadeath. I’ve never been a big fan of the band because Dave Mustaine’s singing used to really annoy me. He’s actually changed his style and it’s much more digestible and the songs they played were pretty good. The interview isn’t bad either as there were some substantive questions and Mustaine seemed honest in his responses.

Not worthwhile
This movie does not play out at all like you thought it would based upon the beginning. It starts with Maurice Ronet killing the husband of Jeanne Moreau but then the two get separated and half the movie becomes about a young couple Georges Poujouly and Yori Bertin who steal Ronet’s car.<br /><br />I really liked how the movie played out in the end but most of it was just boring. Poujouly and Bertin play dumb young people. Moreau mopes around most of the movie looking for Ronet. I don’t think it’s worth it to sit through this entire film just to see the conclusion.

Modern interpretation of Hitchcock's Rear Window
Disturbia is a modern interpretation of Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window. You wouldn’t know that from the first third which is about Shia LaBeouf being on house arrest and going crazy. Then he gets suspicious of his neighbor David Morse and the thriller finally takes off. The film has all the same characters and roles as the Hitchcock one. Sarah Roemer is Grace Kelly the girlfriend and Aaron Yoo is Thelma Ritter who become LaBeouf’s partners in crime peeping on Morse to see if he’s a killer or not. Roemer is kind of plain but Yoo has his moments. This isn’t a direct remake so there are differences especially as the film progresses. For a movie that’s inspired by another it’s quite successful in providing the mystery and thrills.

A kid gets sucked into a movie with his favorite actor Schwarzenegger
The Last Action Hero was part spoof, part fantasy. The main character is a kid named Danny (Austin O’Brien). He dreams about movies and his favorite star Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger). The movie is about him dealing with life through the films and the action hero he loves.<br /><br />The start showed how the movie would proceed. Jack confronts a crazy man with a child hostage. He tells Jack to drop all his weapons. After he drops the pistol in his hand the villain says that’s not the only weapon Jack has after which he pulls out a number of guns and knives from all over his body. It turns out this was just a scene from a movie Danny (Austin O’Brien) was watching. Later on however Danny joins in on Jack’s latest action flick and gets to play out his fantasies. They do all kinds of ridiculous stuff like Jack electrocuting a dead man to get him to shoot a gun. They go into a Blockbuster video where Danny notes all the women are good looking and everyone has a phone number starting with 555 because they’re in a movie.<br /><br />While this was an interesting idea and Schwarzenegger was the perfect actor it didn’t quite work as good as it might have. One of the biggest issues being it just went on too long.<br />C

Christopher Walken and Al Pacino are aging gangsters who have a dirty job ahead of them. The movie has great music from the opening Hard Times by Baby Huey to jokes as Pacino and Walken break into a drug store so Walken can fill out his prescriptions without having to make a co-pay and Pacino can get some Viagra. The main draw is to watch Walken and Pacino interact. They’re very funny together. Alan Aarkin even joins the crew later on. It makes for an entertaining movie about what old guys can do.

Senseless fun fighting vampires
Priest is a takeoff of the vampire genre. The intro explains that humans and vampires have been fighting since medieval times which devastated the planet. People ended up living in huge walled cities protected by warrior priests that specialized in fighting vampires. The undead were eventually defeated and put on reservations. Then one of the priests played by Paul Bettany finds out that his niece has been taken by a powerful vampire. That starts the adventure.<br /><br />The movie didn’t get much play when it was released. It’s actually not that bad. They made the vampires into beasts with no eyes that run around on all fours with big claws rather than the traditional humans with fangs form. That adds some drama to the fight scenes which are well choreographed. The one big drawback is Cam Gigandet who joins Bettany’s crew is a horrible actor. There are some lines that he gives where you just cringe they are so bad.<br /><br />Overall some senseless fun.<br />C

Romantic comedy that also covers the problems of celebrity
Top Five is part romantic comedy part commentary on Hollywood. The dual themes seemed to confuse a lot of people, and not appeal to many others. I fell in love with it when I first saw it in the theater.<br /><br />The movie featured Chris Rock as Andre Allen who started off as a shooting star comedian who then predictably went into a series of bad comedy movies. The fame and attention eventually got to him, and he became an alcoholic. Now he’s trying to be a new man and chart his own course being a serious actor staring in Uprize, a story about the Haitian Revolution. He was still trapped in his old persona however having to do a live marriage with reality star Erica Long played by Gabrielle Union. Into this mix steps Chelsea Brown (Rosia Dawson) a New York Times reporter who wants to do a one on one interview. Allen is initially standoffish and reluctant, but it turns into the heart of the film as the two take a trip through New York. Along the way, Andre and Chelsea form a relationship but all the trappings of celebrity get in the way.<br /><br />There are a bunch of great cameos throughout the film as well. J.B. Smoove is Andre’s driver and is always trying to pick up on big women. Kevin Hart is Andre’s agent and stops talking to him to go see Ben Stiller. Cedric the Entertainer is a Houston promoter that takes over Andre’s afterparty. Ben Vereen is Andre’s estranged dad. When the two run into each other all Vereen does it make jokes about Andre’s stardom only to turn around and ask for some money. Tracy Morgan, Leslie Jones, Jay Pharoah, and Michael Che are Andre’s old friends from the hood. That leads to where the title of the film comes from when they each name their Top 5 rappers of all time. Towards the end, Andre goes to his bachelor party and talks with Jerry Seinfeld, Whoopi Goldberg, and Adam Sandler about marriage. They warn him not to cheat, stay loyal, and don’t confess to anything. DMX however steals the show when Andre runs into him in jail and he explains how he wants to start a singing career and then belts out a tune.<br /><br />I understand how the two themes could throw people off about what exactly Top Five is about. For me it worked perfectly.<br />C

Mingling echoes of Woody Allen and Dick Gregory with the energy of Kanye West and Jay Z, TOP FIVE is an original and radically new kind of American movie. Written, directed by, and starring Chris Rock, TOP FIVE tells the story of New York City comedian-turned-film star Andre Allen, whose unexpected encounter with a journalist (Rosario Dawson) forces him to confront the comedy career--and the past--that he's left behind..

This is a bad copy of a Toho classic but it's such a classic it doesn't matter
King Ghidorah was one of Godzilla’s greatest foes. This was the monster’s first appearance and directed by the great Ishiro Honda who did the originally Godzilla film. It also marked a change in the series with Godzilla becoming a good guy protecting the Earth, and also other Kaiju helping him out.<br /><br />This is a bad copy of the original. You can tell that during the opening where the credits are all blurred.<br /><br />King Ghidorah was the start of a new theme in Toho Kaiju films which was the threat from outer space. There was a constant wave of aliens attempting to invade the planet and Ghidorah was their first try.<br /><br />Things begin with a princess (Akiko Wakabayshi) being possessed by a Martian. She wanders around warning whoever will hear her that the end of the world is coming and eventually says that Ghirdorah will be the cause. Its appearance leads Godzilla to challenge it but it proves so powerful that Rodan and Mothra have to help. This was the first monster mash that Toho made. Rodan and Mothra had their own individual movies beforehand, but this started the trend of Godzilla teaming up with other Kaiju to face down some space monster.<br /><br />The movie then becomes another great Toho production with men in plastic suits smashing through model cities, miniature tanks and planes blasting away at the Kaiju, etc. Ghidorah was also great because it had three heads that shot electric bolts and just looked like a real bad ass. This is a real classic.

Lawrence gets more than he can handle in this love triangle story
Martin Lawrence is a player with a slew of girlfriends who might have met his match in Lynn Whitfield. At the same time an old flame in Regina King returns home which might be his real love. One of them proves to be way more than he can handle. This is a romantic comedy so Lawrence isn’t going full bore with the jokes. He still has some funny lines. His business partner is Bobby Brown who has some good parts. This was also the first time King played a sophisticated woman and marked Tracy Morgan’s debut even though it was a bit part.

Stands out for female hero and being filmed in Thailand
The Ghostly Face is different from your average run of the mill Hong Kong martial arts flick from this period. First of all it was shot in Thailand. Second it features a female heroine Polly Shag Kwan Ling Feng. She is on the trail of a killer named Ghost Face who murdered her father and stole a family sword. They used a lot of Thai settings like an ancient temple and included Thai dancing as well. It’s what makes the movie stand out. I also wonder if this is where Ghost Face Killer of the Wu Tang Clan got his name from.

I laughed out loud
Nerdy guy Jay Baruchel gets a hot girl Alice Eve. The movie is very predictable and yet fun. Baruchel has his group of nerdy and jerk friends especially T.J. Miller who’s always got a line to say. Nate Torrence on the other hand is convinced that Baruchel and Eve are replaying the story of the Aladdin cartoon. The laughs come from the situations they put Baruchel and Eve into like going to a family lunch where everyone acts inappropriately. I laughed out loud and that was what was most important.

They really screwed up this story with selfish lead & some glaring gaps
This was Tim Burton’s version of Planet of the Apes. He has a very distinct style so it was interesting to see what he did with the story. It turned out to be a real disappointment.<br /><br />Burton decided to take elements from the original but mostly add new ones to make it his own. The start with Captain Davidson (Mark Wahlberg) as an astronaut was an addition. Him landing on a planet and being captured by apes was from the original film. One of the biggest changes was in the first film the humans couldn’t talk, but here they can. That changed a major element as Charlton Heston in the original was special because he had the ability to speak. This was one of many major mistakes in the script.<br /><br />Even more important than dropping one of the main sources of tension in the story was they made Davidson completely selfish. He’s captured by the apes and all he cares about is finding his way back to his spaceship. He escapes with a group of humans and apes and doesn’t care about them at all. He just wants to get off the planet and he wasn’t going to take them with them. With that kind of main character why would anyone care about him? There are also some huge gaps in the writing that really stand out.<br />C

Guillermo Del Torro's love of Japanese Sci-Fi and anime
Pacific Rim is a story about redemption and sacrifice. Charlie Hunnam is a former Jaeger pilot who lost his brother fighting giant Kaiju that came through an interdimensional portal. Idris Elba brings him back for one more battle. The movie is Guillermo Del Torro’s ode to Japanese Sci-Fi and anime. The beasts are called Kaiju, Japanese for monsters. The Jaegers are giant robots which was commonly used in Japanese kid TV shows and in anime. Both the Jaegers and Kaiju are brilliant CGI creations. They provided plenty of action. There’s a bit of comic relief as well thanks to Charlie Day who plays a Kaiju researcher. I’ve liked this movie since the day it came out in the theater and it's still good today.

Despite Bay's excesses The Rock is a fun action movie due to Connery and Cage
The Rock was an action-adventure movie made by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Michael Bay with all their bells and whistles. The movie featured Ed Harris as General Frank Hummel who was bitter at a military operation gone wrong that cost the lives of many of his men. Seeking revenge and compensation he takes over Alcatraz Island and threatens San Francisco with biological weapons unless money is paid to the families of his lost men. Nicolas Cage as FBI agent Dr. Stanley Goodspeed is picked to infiltrate Alcatraz and disarm the biological devices. He’s a complete nerd however and needs the help of Sean Connery as John Patrick Mason a former British commando who escaped from Alcatraz. The film focuses upon Hummel’s motivations and then Goodspeed and Mason’s adventure inside Alcatraz.<br /><br />The opening is a perfect example of what Bay likes. There’s a bunch of explosions and the U.S. military. Bruckheimer as well liked these types of big budget movies that went bang. There are other Bay trademarks like slow motion sequences and filters on the cameras to make everything in darker than normal hues.<br /><br />Then a scene with Goodspeed and a colleague shows the kind of over the top action Bay was known for. Goodspeed and friend are inspecting a package when a doll starts shooting out gas and also contains a bomb. The gloves of the co-worker began eroding while Goodspeed is trying to disarm the device. The co-worker is told to inject himself so he doesn’t die but he refuses to do so, while a sprinkler system isn’t working. The bomb and gas should’ve been enough but the co-worker is for added tension but it’s unnecessary.<br /><br />Despite Bay’s excesses The Rock is a fun movie to watch mostly because of Connery and Cage.

Movie about compassion even though it has a major problem
I am split about this movie. On the one hand I appreciate the story. It’s about loving thy enemy no matter how bad they are. Forest Whitaker who plays a reverend talks about the word of Jesus and the power of love. At one point he says he doesn’t want to help Garrett Hedlund who is a former KKK member but if he didn’t he couldn’t be a preacher anymore because he would be going against everything that he believed in. It shows a lot of heart and compassion that normal people don’t have. It’s what Martin Luther King Jr. talked about and it’s very moving. At the same time the film is about changing an individual as if that is the solution to the problem of racism. This is the traditional view in America that race is all about individual hate when it is about how institutions work. It’s not the single banker that redlines blacks and Latinos to deny them loans to buy them a home it’s the entire banking system. Still, you can’t not like this movie.

Lonely kid joins a group of skinheads and has to quickly grow up in Thatcher's England
This Is England takes place in July 1983 when the country was facing massive changes with deindustrialization, the government slashing social programs and breaking up unions which led to protests against the Thatcher government, the rise of the racist National Front, and more. That’s highlighted in the introduction using archival news footage from the time. The film centers around Shawn (Thomas Turgoose) who lost his father in the Falklands War. He falls in with a group of older kids who are Skinheads. It is thus a coming of age story.<br /><br />The movie begins with Shawn’s alienation and loneliness. Then how he changes when he falls in with the Skins. There are some usual things like girls. More importantly Combo (Stephen Graham) shows up and is not only in the National Front but is a sociopath. The story plays on how young and impressionable Shawn is and how he desperately wants friends. In the process he needs to figure out the difference between right and wrong and which way he wants his life to take.<br /><br />This Is England is a great story about both friendship as well as the social dislocation the country was going through in the 1980s.

Is humanity a destructive race or one that can learn from its mistakes?
I always liked this remake. Keanu Reeves is an alien who arrives on Earth to decide its fate. The dilemma is whether he believes humans are a destructive race or whether they can realize their mistakes and change. There are a couple great scenes that deals with this when Reeves meets John Cleese who plays a Nobel Prize winner and they discuss humanity or when Reeves talks with James Hong who was an alien scout who says humans never learn but he loves them anyway. My one complaint is Jaden Smith who is just an annoying kid throughout the film.

A unique take on the violence in Northern Ireland
The Outsider is a unique view of the conflict in Northern Ireland. The start is about pure political cynicism. The IRA wants to manipulate their new and naïve American recruit Craig Wasson in the hopes that it will earn the group publicity. The film touches on a number of topics. One is cutting away the romanticism surrounding revolutionary groups and showing they are about power politics. It gives a stark fictionalized view of Belfast and what the violence was like in the 1970s-80. Third it gives an argument for and against the use of violence in liberation movements. Fourth it shows the excesses and abuses of the state. Finally at the end Wasson comes to terms with why he went to Ireland in the first place. It is a very interesting story that really tries to peel away some of the popular images of Northern Ireland.

Charles Bronson plays Machine Gun Kelly as a cut throat criminal who had a short temper and a propensity for violence. His crew finds out when he beats them. His girlfriend knows because he’s always snapping and threatening her over how she acts. Basically if you want a really bad guy Bronson is your man in this film.

Worthy sequel even though borrows everything from 1st film & Mr Chow steals the show
I have to say when I saw Hangover II in the theater I was really disappointed. The movie simply takes all the main elements from the first movie and re-casts them. The opening scene of both films are the same with Phil (Bradley Cooper) calling Tracy (Sasha Barrese) to say that they screwed up. From there it’s basically point for point a remake. In the first movie the three friends Phil, Alan (Zach Galifianakis), and Stu (Ed Helms) lose their friend Doug (Justin Bartha). Here they lose Stu’s future brother-in-law Teddy (Mason Lee). In both movies Alan messes them up and causes all their problems. In the first film they find a baby and in this one they find a monkey, etc. etc. I didn’t appreciate that initially, but then upon further viewing I actually came to enjoy it. The basis of the Hangover series is that three guys get into one ridiculous situation after another and get really stupid. If you accept that you’ll like the sequel.<br /><br />One of the highlights of the Hangover II was Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) was given a more prominent role. Jeong was hilarious in his short stint in the first movie, but now he gets to really role with the character as he temporarily joins the crew. How they run into Mr Chow has to be seen to be believed. It is outrageously funny. He then gets them into a high speed chase, he sings a song, he talks about his life as a criminal, etc. He literally steals the show.<br /><br />If you like the series you will also like the interaction between the trio of friends. Alan always says something off hand leaving Stu and Phil dumbfounded. For instance, when they tell Alan he can come to Stu’s wedding he takes out a needle and injects himself in the thigh to do his vaccinations so he can travel abroad. Stu tells him that’s supposed to be done by a registered nurse, and Alan replies he is a nurse, he’s just not registered. Later at the airport they meet Teddy who is going to Stanford to become a doctor. Alan asks him if he knows Doogie Howser. Then he says that he turned out to be a gay and he read that in Teen Vogue. The writers always did an outstanding job on his dialogue.<br /><br />Overall, the Hangover II was a worthy sequel and a blast to watch. I just had to accept it for what it was and then I came to appreciate it.<br />C

Beginning & Ending great Then they have Julia Roberts plays Julia Roberts in the middle
Ocean’s Twelve had all the elements that made Eleven and Thirteen successful. There was the look of the film which was impeccable. Soderbergh creates great shots and uses colors to accentuate things. The witty dialogue and jokes were back and the soundtrack was still great. The movie had a very good beginning and ending as well. The problem was the middle. This is where they came up with the great idea that Tess Ocean played by Julia Robert would pose as Julia Roberts to help with a job. This lame piece of writing nearly destroys the whole movie for me. It was not an interesting twist, but just lame. Thank god for the rest of the movie. If not for that this would have gotten 2 out of 5 stars.<br />C

Good odd couple comedy about corruption in govt & corporations
The Nice Guys was a good buddy film comedy about crime and corruption in government and corporations set in 1977 Los Angeles. Ryan Gosling plays Holland March a hapless and bumbling private detective who lives with his daughter Holly (Angourie Rice), while Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) is a hardened, tough guy enforcer. Holland gets hired to find a teen girl named Amelia and Jackson is hired by her to stop Holland. They eventually come to work with each other on the case, and that starts the odd couple story.<br /><br />The comedic scenes come in all kinds of forms. When Jackson first asks Holland to work together he’s sitting on a toilet in a bowling alley. He’s afraid of Jackson for beating him up earlier so he pulls a gun, but he can’t keep the bathroom stall door open nor pull up his pants. Later they find a dead body of a porn king and dump the body over a fence to try to get rid of it, but it lands in the middle of a family party.<br /><br />There’s plenty of action as well as tough guys and assassins come to get Holland and Jackson.<br /><br />I appreciated the plot about the corruption of the government working to protect corporations as well. There’s deep irony to it, but I can’t say anything without spoiling the plot.<br />C

Huge problems with the story but has a redemptive ending
A sudden sickness hits a country causing blindness. The government immediately quarantines those effected. The movie starts off interesting but then runs into some real problems. First, there are only a few people affected and the government creates an immediate quarantine. They put the people in an old asylum and just leave them largely to their own devices. There are police outside the facility that shoot people when they step out of bounds. There’s no reason why the authorities would then leave all the affected to basically rot. It just makes no sense. It’s there for dramatic purposes. Things get really Lord of the Flies inside the asylum after that. At one point it becomes very difficult to watch it gets so sick. Thank god it has some redemption at the end. That’s it’s saving grace but still doesn’t overcome all of its issues.<br /><br />In the end it gets 2 stars for the disturbing content in the middle.<br />C

Like a tripped out dream created by the Coen Brothers
The Big Lebowski is one of the Coen Brothers greatest creations. The movie is about the Dude (Jeff Bridges). The Dude was the right man for the right time and the right situation. Yes, he might be a slacker. Yes, he might be the laziness man you’d ever seen as he went to the grocery store with loafers, an undershirt and his bathrobe, but what happened to him only the Dude could deal with in this dark comedy.<br /><br />The best part of the movie however is the characters and they are all real characters if you know what I mean. Besides the Dude there are his bowling bodies. John Goodman plays Walter, a man with a lot of pent up anger who explodes at the smallest provocation such as when he yells at a man during bowling league for crossing the line which disqualifies his throw. When he contests the point, Walter pulls a gun on him. Then there’s Donny played by Steve Buscemi who can’t stop talking and always annoys Walter. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Brand the kiss up assistant to the millionaire Lebowski. Julianne Moore is Maude Lebowski the daughter of the millionaire and an eccentric artist. In one scene she’s suspended from the ceiling of her studio and thrust towards a canvas to create an art piece. Peter Stormare plays Uli who leads a grouip of nihilists who are involved with the millionaire Lebowski’s wife and eventually come after the Dude as well. Finally, Sam Elliott plays The Stranger who is a cowboy in the big city of Los Angeles who narrates the film. There are actually many more but that gives you an idea of the ensemble cast and how abnormal each one is.<br />C

Goldie Hawn finds herself and becomes a strong woman
This movie had a hilarious start as Albert Brooks is a horn dog who constantly wants sex from his newlywed bride Goldie Hawn. It’s the complete opposite of what you expect from Brooks. Then Harry Dean Stanton sweet talks Hawn into joining the army and thus begins Private Benjamin.<br /><br />The first half of the film is the best. You get Hawn going through basic training, complaining and getting in trouble. It reminds me a bit of Stripes even though this was before that. In the latter half Private Benjamin turns into a love story and it isn’t half as interesting. Despite that the movie is about Hawn finding herself and becoming a strong woman and I’m all for that.

A touching family portrait of Mexican Americans
A Better Life is a touching story about a Mexican American immigrant family in Los Angeles starring Demian Bichir as Carlos Galindo and Jose Julian as his son Luis.<br /><br />The gist of the story is the generation gap between father and son. Bichir is an illegal immigrant who works as a day laborer and sometime landscaper. Luis on the other hand is barely making it in high school. Bichir came to Mexico for a better life like so many other immigrants and wanted Luis to have everything he didn’t. The problem is Luis considers himself a Mexican American and looks down up his father and other immigrants as poor Mexicans who do gardening and wash dishes. The movie is about how they overcome their differences.<br /><br />The movie works as good family film, and social commentary about many Mexican immigrant families in America. It also champions Mexican American life and culture. The ending is a complete tearjerker and an important story of what happens to many families.<br />C

Wong Feihung rouses Chinese nationalism again this time vs the Japanese
Wong Fei-Hung is a favorite character in Chinese period pieces. That’s because he was a symbol of Chinese nationalism. This one features Vincent Zhao in the role fighting the Japanese another favorite topic. In fact, there’s a take off of Bruce Lee’s Chinese Connection when some of Wong’s students attempt to enter a Japanese business and are told no Chinese dogs are allowed in. Resentment against how the Japanese treated China for decades is still a big issue.<br /><br />The movie takes place at the turn of the century and portrays a country in chaos. There are people protesting the Japanese who China is about to go to war with, and the White Lotus Society wants to get rid of corrupt officials. Wong is caught in the middle of all these forces. The story includes some political rivalry and intrigue. The fight scenes are the real draw of the film and they’re good. Lots of fast action mixed in with some wire work. There’s some comedy in there as well with Wong’s students.

Ophelia attempts to maneuver around the powerful that surround her
Ophelia is a new take on Shakespeare’s Hamlet featuring his love Ophelia (Daisy Ridley) as the main character. It gives her perspective on all the intrigue at the royal court and why Hamlet went from a carefree young man to an angry and melancholy one over the death of his father. There’s a love story between the two in the middle but really the backbiting and plotting is much more interesting as the story weaves in and out of the play. It’s a nice addition to Hamlet but not a necessity. Ridley does well in her role as a strong young woman attempting to maneuver around all the rich and powerful people that surround her.

Didn't like anything about this movie
I just could not get into this movie. Kate Hudson is hired to take care of John Hurt out in the Louisiana swamp where she finds a bunch of hidden secrets. There’s no tension to the story.

Took them awhile to find their groove
I’m so glad I got a hold of this DVD box set. I was a huge fan of Saturday Night Live in the 1970s when I was a little kid. I don’t think I started watching it until the third season however when Bill Murray joined the cast. Now I get to check out what it was like at the start. 1st they still had great guests starting with episode one that featured George Carlin who did a monologue about the difference between football and baseball in his opening. 2nd there’s great music like Billy Preston and Simon and Garfunkel. There were even special guests like Andy Kaufman and the Muppets.<br /><br />What stands out is that the first season started off more as a variety show than what we know of it today as a sketch program. Carlin just did little stand up bits by himself and didn’t do anything with the cast. There were also more than one musical guest and other specials. This was what a lot of 70s TV shows were like such as Captain and Tennille show or the Osmonds.<br /><br />I gotta say the 1st episode was a real dud. The second one however started to find something with a skit about Paul Simon playing one on one basketball versus Connie Hawkins which was hilarious. It slowly built up from there with things like John Belushi doing his Joe Cocker imitation singing With A Little Help Form My Friends and Chevy Chase doing Weekend Updates.<br /><br />There is one major drawback to this set. That is you can’t hit play and go through all the episodes on each disc. You have to hit play for each individual show. There are four shows on each disc.

Makes you question what you just watched in a strange yet interesting way
Donnie Darko is one of those movies that makes you question what exactly is going on. It focuses upon Jack Gyllenhaal as Donnie. He goes to therapy, he’s on medication although he doesn’t take them. He’s alienated from his family, and then he’s struck by night visions where he sees a bunny figure that warns him about the impending end of the world. Things start on that weird note and get weirder as the story progresses. There are questions about good and evil. About religion. About time travel and whether you can change the past. There’s an impending sense of doom as the Rabbit tells Donnie there are only 28 days left in the world. To say it’s a bizarre tale is an understatement and the ending really makes you think about what you just saw.<br /><br />If you like these types of strange tales like Twin Peaks, etc. than Donnie Darko will be right up your alley.<br />C

Just a huge disappointment
The start of this movie features one of the common gimmicks Hollywood was using in theaters at the time. That was a dark and sinister voicer over warning the audience that this feature involved evil and Devil worship. What a way to get things going. Unfortunately the movie really doesn’t live up to that hype. It revolves around Peter Wyngarde discovering that his wife Janet Blair is a witch. It never creates anything exciting about that to dynamic to draw the audience in. Yeah they try to build up some tension but it fails. Overall this just turned into a huge disappointment.

Horrible failure at making Lisabeth Slander an action hero
The Girl in the Spider’s Web was the fifth film and second American one based upon the Stieg Larsson books about Lisbeth Slander this time played by Claire Foy. It is by far the worst adaptation.<br /><br />The main problem is that they attempted to turn Slander into a superhero like Batman. She starts off the movie being a vigilante taking the money from an abusive husband in his home. She has all kinds of gadgets. She makes several high speed getaways from the police and bad guys. She runs around with a gun, etc. This is nothing like the character in the book or other movies.<br /><br />Not only that but staying with the action theme they have Lakeith Stanfield playing Edwin Needham an NSA analyst who Slander steals a program from. As all NSA analysts do he goes to Sweden with a bunch of guns to track her down, because that’s what computer analysts do.<br /><br />What was so good about David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film was that he and actress Rooney Mara really captured Slander even better than the Swedish originals. You really got the sense that Slander had a dark past, was punk rock, and dysfunctional. it was a completely believable portrayal. This movie is the exact opposite.<br /><br />The only good thing I can say about The Girl in the Spider’s Web is that Stanfield got cast. It’s good to see him branching out into other roles.<br /><br />Other than that though I can only say watch Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo instead.

Cold War story of how the SAS has to protect against the radical left
This movie is a reflection of the Cold War. It argues that groups against nuclear war were a threat because they got taken over by terrorists. It also plays upon political theater with staged events to gain support for both sides the government and the radicals. That helps make up for a gaping hole in the story later on when the radicals plan an attack which I won’t reveal because it will be a spoiler. There’s also a dual diatribe at the end between one of the terrorist leaders Judy Davis and the U.S. Secretary of State played by Richard Widmark where he gets to call her a lunatic. They even take a stab at the Labor Party as being ideologically aligned with the radicals. The end is a big SAS show down with the terrorists. Despite its many flaws it wasn’t bad.

Fantastic representation of a future world with no emotions
Nicholas Hoult lives in a post-apocalyptic world where people’s emotions have been suppressed to maintain control and stability. He comes down with Switched On Syndrome where he starts to have feelings especially for Kristen Stewart. The story is about what will happen to them. The movies creates a completely sterile world with everyone wearing white, people silently going to work, etc. That’s all disrupted by Hoult’s feelings which are beautifully shot like when he stands next to Stewart and begins looking closely at her face with the background fuzzed out. It’s a great visual representation of what Hoult is going through. All together this makes for a fantastic movie.

Do the ends justify the means in the War on Drugs?
Sicario has a dramatic beginning which is a flashback to the Drug Wars during the crack years. An FBI armored vehicle crashes through the front of a house, a group of heavily armed SWAT and FBI agents comes in, shoots and kills a suspect and then find dead bodies hidden in the walls. The house is run by the Sonora Cartel. The movie is about the current drug wars against the Mexican cartels and how the U.S. government is using extralegal methods and being involved with some unsavory characters in order to carry it out.<br /><br />Emily Blunt as Kate Macy and her partner Daniel Kaluuya as Reggie Wayne are FBI agents who are assigned to a secret government task force led by Josh Brolin as Matt Graver. Benecio del Toro as Alejandro Gillick is part of the team working for the government. It quickly becomes apparent that Graver’s unit is doing far more than simply investigating cases. They are doing some very questionable things on both sides of the border and Macy is simply being used as a front for their activities. That’s what the movie is about, what exactly is the American government doing in both the U.S. and Mexico in the War on Drugs? What kind of illegal and excessive activities might be involved? In the movie the U.S. isn't actually trying to stop the flow of drugs but rather manage it by manipulating the cartels. One issued raised by the movie is does the ends justify the means? The other is what is the point of the drug war overall if the best the American government can hope for is to try to regulate the flow of narcotics?<br /><br />There is a subplot going on as well. At the very start a Mexico boy is desperate for the attention and time of his father who is a Mexican policeman. At the end his father is killed by Gillick. The point is to show the costs of the drug war. Thousands of people are killed some innocent some not, but it is a huge price that Mexico has to pay.<br /><br />The movie is a great thriller. That doesn't come from the investigation into the Sonora Cartel as much as Macy trying to figure out what Graver is doing. The background music with very deep base tones adds to the tension. There is plenty of action as well, which is set from the opening scene. The acting is strong as well. Blunt is like a deer caught in the headlights. Brolin is cold blooded. Del Toro is very quiet but completely menacing. All that plus the theme makes this a very powerful movie.<br />C

A story of growing up and consequences
City of Men was made by Paulo Morelli who was responsible for the incredible City of God movie. This film is a bit different. It takes place in Rio in the Dead End Hill neighborhood and focuses upon Ace (Douglas Silva) and Wallace (Darlan Cunha). Ace is a teen father who doesn’t know how to be one while Wallace is attempting to find out who his dad is. There’s also the story of a gangster named Midnight (Jonathan Haagensen) and a war he gets into which Ace and Wallace get caught in the middle of. The writing is really strong because it connects everything together in unexpected ways with a twist. It’s a real story about growing up and consequences.<br />C

The first and the best in the Chucky franchise
Child’s Play was the first in the franchise and one of the best. It’s a film about revenge by the antagonist played by Brad Dourif as Charles Lee ray a criminal on the run from the police. He’s shot and dying, but finds a way to continue on by placing his soul inside of a Chucky doll and hence the legend was born.<br /><br />For a film about a possessed doll they did a really good job in the first installment. They slowly rolled out the fact that the doll was alive. Then they had some great sequences with him such as when he tries to kill policeman Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon) by stabbing a knife through the car seat or when he’s all burned up at the end. The kid who gets the Chucky Doll Andy (Alex Vincent) also starts off thinking that Chucky is his friend, then knowing the truth, but having no one believing him, to finally standing up to the doll. Overall, a nice bit of mindless horror fun.<br />C

Was hoping for a lot from this Mel Brooks film but was disappointed
I had high hopes for this movie because it was a Mel Brooks production but I thought it fell flat. There were some funny moments but the movie was not overall. The story is about Brooks taking over a mental institution and finding out there was something nefarious going on. It had his usual cast of characters that he used in other movies like Madeline Kahn and Harvey Korman but they didn’t have the writing to make their talents shine.

Great variation on the zombie genre
28 Days Later was Danny Boyle’s take on the zombie film. This time an infection called Rage is released upon the world leading to extreme violence amongst the population. Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from an operation to find the world infected. He meets Selena (Naomie Harris) and together they try to survive the apocalypse. The landscape starts off as what looks like an abandoned London. There’s the loneliness of the main characters as Jim and Selena might be the only people left. It’s also a harsh world where people will immediately turn upon each other if they think they are infected.<br /><br />The movie has many great moments. There are the infected jumping through windows and chasing Jim and Selena. There’s the duo meeting up with a family which offers hope that maybe there are some other people out there. There’s also the harsh reality that survivors may have their own plans on how to survive which don’t fit Jim and Selena’s.<br /><br />Boyle did a great job creating his world. Usually in zombie films you have a whole city filled with the undead. Here he chose to show a London that looked completely empty. You actually had to look for the infected to show up and then they came in waves. This was another change. The infected ran as fast as they could, a big change from the usual slow walking zombies which can easily be outrun. The dog eat dog world was also new. Instead of the apocalypse bringing together the few survivors it made everyone only think about themselves.<br /><br />Overall if you like zombie films you’ll like 28 Days Later.<br />C

John Waters critique of 50s conformity
Cry Baby is a John Waters satire of 1950s Rock N Roll films. It pits the squares against the juvenile delinquents in Baltimore. The story focuses upon Cry Baby (Johnny Depp) falling for a square named Allison (Amy Locane). Waters always liked highlighting the losers, the rejects, the outcasts, and this was no different.<br /><br />The film goes through all your usual tropes of this genre. There’s Rock N Roll, fights, prison, and musical bits where the entire cast busts out in song.<br /><br />Waters also had a social conscience. He had the delinquents being friends with African Americans. This was a subtle poke at the racist and segregated America of the 1950s which is when the film takes place.<br /><br />The whole movie is told with a tongue in cheek attitude. For instance, the first time Cry Baby is with Allison he tells her to “Kiss him hard.” To which she asks, “Will I get mononucleosis?”<br /><br />It really is a blast.

Yen gets to show his stuff. He gets to stand up to the obnoxious and racist British imperialist. What’s there not to like?!

Very predictable start saved by the end
Emma Thompson has a late night TV show that is tanking and she’s about to be replaced. She needs new blood to turn her fortunes around and finds that in an unlikely source, Mindy Kaling who just got hired as a writer, the first female on the staff.<br /><br />The movie has a predictable start as Kaling is resented by the rest of the writers who are all young white males. They see her as a diversity hire which she was. Luckily they only play on that a little bit and then move on. The story is supposed to be a comedy so they couldn’t have Kaling arguing and bickering with her co-workers the entire time.<br /><br />The next phase of the movie could be foreseen as well as Thompson breathes life back into her show. They do throw in some interesting ways she does it escaping some stereotypes like her trying to pander to young people with stupidity.<br /><br />The highlight of the movie is when Thompson runs into some controversy because it was original. That actually saves the whole thing as you could tell what happened most of the time.

Heartbreak and frustration in another masterpiece by Wong Kar Wai
2046 was director Wong Kar-Wai’s follow up to In The Mood For Love. It has the same main character Mr. Chow (Tony Leung). You wouldn’t know that from the start however, which is a science fiction story set in the future where a Japanese man went to a place called 2046 where people go to look for love. That after all is the theme of the film. It’s not so much about being in love, but about looking for it, losing it, and being frustrated by it.<br /><br />After the sci-fi start the story settles down to Mr. Chow returning to Hong Kong. He’s still hurt from losing Su Li-Zhen in the last film, so he becomes a ladies man while he continues his writing for newspapers. He lives in 2047 and a female acquaintance was killed in 2046. He used the number in one of his stories, which was the start of the movie. Eventually the story actually morphs into the story 2046 before returning to Chow in Hong Kong. In the Mood For Love was about how Chow was hurt in a relationship. This time he dishes out the pain as well as receives it.<br /><br />Wong is a master at his art. The way he frames scenes and transitions between them is always a joy to watch.

Becomes about tricks team created which is interesting but limiting
Bones Brigade was made by Stacy Peralta about the skate crew he put together that was one of the most famous in history. Peralta was part of the Zephyr team in the 1970s which created modern skateboarding. It broke up early on which left a lasting impact on Peralta. That led him to create the Bones Brigade out of young teens. The movie follows a traditional documentary approach with all the people interviewed sitting in the same room in a chair talking. The draw is the footage and pictures of the team at work. Much of the doc turns out to be about how the team created new tricks which revolutionized skating. It’s nice to see but it has its limits. It gets interesting again when skateboarding fell apart and people were going to backyards for ramps. Lance Mountain also emerges as the standout person of the team because he had a kid and was married and had to do working class jobs to support his family and couldn’t spend all day everyday skating.

Got too ridiculous
Kara Wai and Lau Kar-Leung have to protect her late husband’s estate from long time Shaw Brothers bad guy Wang Lung-Wei in this Kung Fu comedy. Things start with Wai and Lau mistaking each other for different people and then beating up some young men that make fun of them. From then on however it just gets completely ridiculous from Hsiao Ho as Lau’s son destroying his ancestor’s shrine in a fight with Wai to Gordon Liu showing up with a horrible mustache and wig and singing. There’s even a masquerade ball thrown in. It just got too over the top.

Set a standard for the entire Mission Impossible franchise with its style story & action
Mission Impossible 2 was when the franchise really started taking off. That was largely because it was directed by John Woo. It was much more stylized and the plot wasn’t as convoluted as the first release. The story is about an Impossible Mission Force (IMF) agent Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) turning on the group and attempting to acquire a biological weapon called Chimera. The theme is about betrayal with not only Ambrose but others turning on their friends as well.<br /><br />The first three scenes show that they’d picked up their writing and film making for Mission Impossible. First, Ambrose uses the IMF masks to pose as Hunt and kidnap the scientist that created Chimera. Second, they had Hunt rock climbing up a huge cliff when a missile is shot into the rock which gives him his next mission. Third, Hunt watches a Spanish dance team and sees the person he’s supposed to meet a thief named Nyah (Thandie Newton) that used to be in a relationship with Ambrose while the dance routine goes back and forth between regular and slow motion speed. These types of scenes would help define the movie.<br /><br />Of course that didn’t mean Mission Impossible 2 strayed away from the gun play, gadgets and action. There was plenty of that. Woo used a lot of his trademark slo-mo sequences for those scenes.<br /><br />Overall MI2 set the standards for all the following movie with the style, the story and the action sequences.<br />C

Has a mercenary fought one too many wars?
Dogs of War is a war film about mercenaries in the make believe African country of Zangaro. A company wants to invest there but doesn’t like the dictator General Kimba so they hire some soldiers of fortune to overthrow him led by Christopher Walken as James Shannon. You’re supposed to be drawn in by the daring mercenaries who get to go to exotic foreign places and kill people for money. The story has a good start but the ending is unsatisfying.<br /><br />The movie highlights how greedy the company is that hires Shannon. They of course are not interested in Zangaro other than to exploit its resources and are willing to pay off corrupt people to ensure they can do that. The action scenes however are really badly choreographed. There’s a lot of posing and shooting at nothing. What redeems the film is the twist at the end about whether all the money and killing was really worth it.<br />C

Friends grow up together move apart and yet still hold a bond
Friend is a coming of age story set in 1970s-90s South Korea. It centers around four friends. Joon-seok has a mobster for a father, which gave him instant status as a child. Dong-su’s father is an undertaker which embarrasses him and makes him frustrated because he doesn’t want to end up like him. Those two become gangsters. Sang-taek is a good student and heads off to college. Jung-ho is a goof off but also goes to college. The movie covers their lives from little kids, to high school, then college, and into adulthood.<br /><br />The film has many great moments. There’s the abuse kids took in school. There’s violent confrontations with other kids. There’s drug addiction and abuse of subordinates. It’s the relationships, the comedy and the violence that makes the movie so engaging. The story constantly flips from highs to lows. It’s far more than your usual story of four friends growing up together.<br /><br />It’s a really great film about how people can move apart and yet still have a bond through thick and thin.

How terrorist prisoners were considered guilty and never meant to be charged with crimes
The Mauritanian is based upon a true story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi/Tahar Rahim who was held by the Americans at Guantanamo Bay on charges that he was the head recruiter for 9/11. The film deals with the legal battle over suspects at Guantanamo and how the government ignored their rights.<br /><br />The movie switches back and forth between the defense and the prosecution with interviews, investigations, and scenes with Rahim in Guantanamo. The lawyers on the opposing sides are Jodie Foster for the defense and Benedict Cumberbatch for the government. They deliver powerful performances as usual. All together they help create a gripping legal and human rights drama.<br /><br />An example of what Foster was up against was when she was given the case files from the government with the evidence against Rahim and almost everything was blacked out so they couldn’t find out anything. Another time Cumberbatch is going through papers and there’s nothing but hearsay which can’t be used in court. It shows that Washington didn’t want to help anyone in these cases to either defend or prosecute them. They were simply considered guilty and imprisoned.

Story was too inconsistent
Jonathan Rhys Meyers follows one path in life but secretly wants another. The story is all about which one will he ultimately choose and at what cost. That was a good premise but the movie was really inconsistent. For one, the main character Meyers was reserved and withdrawn most of the time which didn’t make him that interesting. Then it had an unexpected twist which regained my interest only to drag things out afterward.<br /><br />Match Point was made by Woody Allen but you would never know it. It doesn’t show any signs of his style although he’s dealt with a similar story before.

Just a re-make of Terminator 2 so just watch it for the action
Terminator 3 follows John Connor/Nick Stahl as a young man attempting to escape a new terminator played by Kristanna Loken. As became the norm Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up as the savior. Out of the Terminator franchise this one doesn’t seem to be talked about as much because it’s basically a remake of Terminator 2 minus the great effects on the T-1000 shapeshifting Terminator. It’s also light on story and much of it is like one big chase. It’s still fun to watch Arnold blow stuff up but this is definitely a second tier film in the series.

Surrealist view of how America has fetishzed crime and violence
I am not a big Oliver Stone fan who made this film, but I was pleasantly surprised by Natural Born Killers. The fact that Quentin Tarantino did the original script was a big plus. The movie focuses upon two serial killers Mickey (Woody Harrelson ) and Mallory (Juliet Lewis) and how they are turned into celebrities by the media who fetishize violence for ratings. The movie gives an absurdist take on their escapades to show how crazy America is about crime.<br /><br />The movie is very stylized to give it a surreal feel. It flips back and forth between color and black and white for instance. When re-telling Mallory’s abusive family she grew up in it uses a sitcom format. There are flashes of animations as well.<br /><br />Many of the characters are overtop as well to continue the surrealism. For instance Tom Sizemore plays Detective Jack Scagnetti whose dream is to sleep with Mallory. There’s Tommy Lee Jones as Warden Dwight McClusky who is totally nuts and rants and raves at everything. Robert Downey Jr plays TV host Wayne Gale who makes Mickey and Mallory famous. He’ll do anything to get a good TV show and becomes enthralled by Mickey and Mallory’s violence. The whole point is to emphasize how insane America has become over crime. It’s both scared by it and can’t get enough of it on TV and in movies.<br /><br />Overall, Natural Born Killers was a crazy ride to the wild side of America’s love-hate relationship with crime and violence.<br />C

That includes walking into a deli and telling the business he’s from the city and they are charging too much so all the customers deserve a rebate! He’s matched with Ossie Davis who plays the straight guy. Together they travel New York City reminiscing about their past, fight for Davis’ rights, and even smoking a little dope!

Makes you think about how love works
The opening sets the stage for the entire movie. Joaquin Phoenix works at a company that writes intimate and personal letters for other people. It’s a comment about how people are losing connections with each other. This is part of a future world that the story takes place in where technology is even more prevalent in people’s lives. The last part of the puzzle is that Phoenix is finalizing a divorce. You take those three factors and you can understand the entire story which is about love. Phoenix plays a man that comes out of his shell as the film progress. Scarlett Johansson plays his new operating system that he talks to all the time. Even though she’s just a voice she conveys some real personality which can be a bit odd because she’s often stiff as an actress. In the end it make syou think about how love works.

Really weird story of Mifune's Yojimbo waiting for something to happen
Incident at Blood Pass, released in Japan as Machibuse – Ambush, is a very interesting Japanese period piece made by Mifune Productions and released by Toho. That’s because it’s not your typical Japanese samurai drama.<br /><br />Almost the entire story takes place at an inn along a mountain pass in central Japan. The business is run by Oyuki and her grandfather. It also employs a new woman named Okuni. The main characters however are Toshiro Mifune in his last rendition of his famous Yojimbo character, Yojiro Ishihara as Yataro a traveling gambler with a heart, Kinnosuke Nakamura as an over zealous policeman Heima Ibuki, and Shintaro Katsu of Zatoichi fame as Gentetsu a former doctor running an illegal medicine business with the grandfather.<br /><br />At the start Yojimbo is hired to go to the pass and “wait for something to happen.” Neither he nor the viewer knows what that means. He has to scheme to keep everyone he meets at the inn to stay there and simply see what develops.<br /><br />It’s not until deep into the movie that the main plot is revealed. It turns out to involve robbery and gangsters.<br /><br />The pacing of the movie and the twist in the story is really weird. For most of the movie it’s just the characters sitting in the inn talking to each other. Oyuki for example falls for Yataro and begs him to stay when he leaves. Then the gangsters show up and the entire story turns around. There’s a giant climax scene with a very weird ending, followed by the conclusion that is just as disconnected from the rest of the film. It just seems a very strange mix that doesn’t quite work.<br />C

Sticks close to the book and highlights the hollowness of the American Dream
This 1974 version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic book sticks close to the source material. It maintains a lot of the original dialogue by the narrator Nick Carraway/Sam Waterston. I’ve always taken the book and this film adaptation to be a commentary on the American Dream. Many have said Fitzgerald was writing about the unattainability of the dream. To me it was actually about how hollow it was. Like in the book, Gatsby played by Robert Redford went from nothing into a millionaire in an attempt to obtain the love of his life Daisy/Mia Farrow. That not working out wasn’t the message. It was the fact that he believed he could buy happiness. He couldn’t. In fact, Redford’s character is completely crass. For example, he thinks he has to offer Waterston a business deal in order to get him to invite Farrow over to his house. In another scene when Farrow comes over to Redford’s house he shows her all his expensive clothes thinking showing off his material possessions will make her love him. Gatsby can also be seen as a commentary on the Roaring 20s when people were living in excess which all came crashing down in 1929.<br /><br />If you really want to get a sense of what the book is about this is the movie to watch.

They couldnt just stick to the war story had to throw in unnecessary love triangle
Enemy At The Gates is a historical war drama focusing upon the 1942 Battle of Stalingrad which was a major turning point in the war in Europe during World War II. It was known for its brutal urban warfare. The story surrounds the struggles of Vasily Zaytsev (Jude Law) a Soviet sniper in the city. He’s turned into a hero his Commissar (political officer) Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), but when they both fall in love with the same woman Tania (Rachel Weisz) the two have a falling out. Vasily also gets into a sniper duel with Germany soldier Major Erwin Konig (Ed Harris) as the Nazis and the Soviets compete for a propaganda victory if either one can kill the other.<br /><br />The movie automatically captures your attention with its portrayal of what the fighting was like within the city. The opening has Vasily and hundreds of soldiers get off a train and look upon Stalingrad which is burning. They have to take ferries across the river to get to the city which are being strafed by German planes. When they get there they don’t have enough rifles for all the soldiers but they’re told to charge the Nazi lines anyway. The ones that refuse are shot by their own officers. It’s utter chaos.<br /><br />The movie does a good job with the cat and mouse game between Vasily and Konig. They are both extremely good at their jobs, very smart and skilled. Konig for example is constantly trying to set traps for Vasily. I didn’t care as much about the love triangle between Vasily-Danilov and Tania. That seemed like Hollywood wanting to add some unnecessary romance and drama.<br />C

There's nothing like revenge and saving face in a Hong Kong martial arts flick
Fei Men plays Fong Sai Yuk who kills a man earning the wrath of a Kung Fu school. Revenge and saving face are the themes of the film. First things first the fight scenes are well choreographed. They have speed and precision. Second, Fei Men’s mom is the real martial arts master pushing him forward with his skills. That’s a nice twist. Third it’s got great villains in Yasuaki Kurata and Wong Ching. Of course this means Fei Men has to come up with new fighting techniques to defeat his opponents with the mandatory training scenes. Overall good but not great Hong Kong release.

Rodriguez was still working out his visin for El Mariachi
Desperado was Richard Rodriguez’s second film in his El Mariachi series. The first was an independent film made on a shoe-string budget. This was when Rodriguez got signed to a major production company and had the budget to try fulfill his vision. The movie featured Antonio Banderas as El Mariachi a guitarist and gunmen seeking revenge against a drug boss named Bucho that killed his lover.<br /><br />I think Rodriguez was still working on his story however. There are a bunch of extraneous scenes. For instance, Quentin Tarantino makes a cameo appearance, showing up at a bar that’s run by Bucho’s men. His first scene is Tarantino telling a story that adds nothing to the plot. There’s another scene at the same bar where some American women complain about the service. What purpose does that serve??? Rodriguez’s action scenes were much better with a lot of influence from John Woo with guys pointing guns right at each other’s faces.<br /><br />The result is a very uneven movie.<br />C

Great mix of music dance love and the mob and race in America
The Cotton Club was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and portrayed a slice of life of musicians, dancers and gangsters in 1920s New York from both a white and black perspective. This is a remastered version of the original.<br /><br />The very first scene portrays the paradox of the famous Cotton Club which was located in Harlem. The doorman asks a woman if she were black or not. Her date protests, but then they are not allowed in. All the performers at the club were black but it only allowed in white patrons.<br /><br />The two main characters represent the artists of the city and the swinging 20s. Gregory Hines plays Sandman Williams who along with his brother Clay (Maurice Hines) get hired to dance at the Cotton Club. Richard Gere is musician Dixie Dwyer who saves the life of mobster Dutch Shultz (James Remar) and goes to work for him. Williams highlights the wealth of black talent that was present at not only the Cotton Club but New York but America in general. Hines of course gets to show up his tap dancing skills. At the same time he faces the racist management at the Cotton Club. Dwyer provides insight into the gangsters that ran New York.<br /><br />All together it’s a great mix of music, dancing, love, the mob, and race in America.

It's a lot of fun
Monster Squad is based around a group of elementary school kids who confront the famous monsters of cinema Dracula, the Mummy, the Wolfman, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Frankenstein. The movie definitely reminds one of contemporaries like The Lost Boys and the Goonies which also featured kids on adventures. It’s a lot of fun because it mixes innocence with monsters. They also pay homage to the original source material like when Frankenstein befriends a little girl.

Suprisingly good Mexican super hero mixing Batman and the Punisher
In this era of representation it was only natural that a Latino superhero movie would be made. That’s El Chicano.<br /><br />I was initially apprehensive about this movie due to the opening scene. That centers around three youngsters in East Los Angeles in the past going home and seeing an old gangster Shadow played by Emilo Rivera being killed by a man on a motorcycle with an Aztec style knife known as El Chicano. The victim was one of the boys’ father. The problem I had was the kids were talking what I call Hollywood Mexican. I don’t mean Spanish but Hollywood’s stereotypical view of how Mexican Americans in LA speak with the last vowel dragged out as in “Andale vatoooo.” Thankfully that quickly disappeared and the movie turned out to be surprisingly good.<br /><br />The film fast forwards to the future where one of the kids from the opening has become a cop, Raul Castillo as Detective Pedro Diego, and the one with a dead father, David Castaneda as Shotgun, a gangster. The latter is working with a Mexican cartel that wants to expand into Los Angeles and is willing to kill to achieve that. The cop turns to vigilantism to fight back. That sets up the conflict between Mexicans and Mexican Americans which ties into the title El Chicano, or the Mexican American.<br /><br />There’s nothing ground breaking about the film, but it was just well done. It included some nods to Mexican American and Los Angeles history. The action was good. The hero turned out to be part Punisher, part Batman. Overall I was really surprised with El Chicano.

Classic 70s dystopian tale
Logan’s Run is a classic 1970s dystopian tale. Overpopulation caused a world crisis and a new society was created where people at 30 are “renewed” which means killed to control the number of people. To enforce the rules are Sandmen like Michael York that hunt down people who refuse to die. York meets Jenny Agutter and together they go on the run. The movie definitely kept your attention with interesting scenes like cubs, kids who dropped out of the system or a killer plastic surgeon and a robot gone wild. The pacing was also good because there are a lot of 70s movies that dragged out the story.

Didn't buy into contrived story when this came out 15yrs later and it's no better
M. Night Shyamalan has been trying to live up to the success of the Sixth Sense since it came out in 1999. That has often trapped him in a box as the writer who comes up with the surprise endings. Sometimes that’s forced and has led to bad movies. Lady In The Water is one of them.<br /><br />The start of the movie should’ve been a sign that this wasn’t going to be one of Shyamalan’s hits. It has Paul Giamatti finding Bryce Dallas Howard swimming in his apartment’s pool. Yes from there the whole mystery of the plot is supposed to be revealed. The rest of the movie is Giamatti attempting to figure out the riddle around Howard and what she’s doing in his apartment complex. Howard on the other hand plays an almost completely passive character as Giamatti does all the work.<br /><br />Overall the story comes off as completely contrived and I never bought into it from the start. For instance, there’s a scene with Howard sitting in a shower with a big group of people Giamatti has collected from the apartment who he thinks can help her. They just stand there as if this is a normal event. I saw this in a theater when it came out and I had the same reaction. Watching it 15 years later and it hasn’t improved my opinion at all.
