Great ending to the Sami Rami-Toby Maguire Spider Man series
Spider Man 3 was the end of the Sam Rami-Toby Maguire phase of the Spider-Man series. The movie tried to come to a conclusion about the Peter Parker (Maguire) – MJ (Kirsten Dunst) – Harry Osborn (James Franco) trio. At the start Parker wants to marry MJ while Osborn wanted revenge for the death of his father. Could they come back together as friends or would Osborn or Parker have to die? The problem is that Venom a symbiote from outer space and the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) get involved.<br /><br />The start of the movie is great but when Venom takes over Parker it takes a bad turn. There’s a ridiculous scene where Parker is strutting down the street, snapping his fingers and looking at women. He also starts pushing down the front of his hair. This is supposed to be the bad Parker because of the symbiote. It has not aged well and doesn’t work as either serious or satire.<br /><br />If you drop that part the rest of the movie is very well done. You get the Sandman as an extra foe which was a nice addition. Venom eventually jumps to another character which is a blessing. The effects for Venom and the Sandman are also top notch.<br />C

John Carpenter proves he's a master once more
The cast of Donald Pleasence, Victor Wong and Dennis Dun immediately caught my attention. More importantly this was John Carpenter made the film. You can hear that in the keyboard theme that’s played in the opening one of his trademarks. All three of the actors had worked with Carpenter before on Halloween and Big Trouble In Little China. They work together to try to stop the emergence of pure evil at an old rundown church.<br /><br />This is the perfect vehicle for Carpenter to do his thing. He starts off slowly with a vagrant woman with ants on her face to homeless people being drawn to the church led by Alice Cooper of all people! It just takes off from there.<br /><br />Carpenter was a real master at his trade and this is a great example. I’ve seen The Prince Of Darkness several times and it never gets old.

A skinhead gang dominated by a life of violence
A group of skinheads led by Hando (Russel Crowe) beat up on Vietnamese immigrants in Melbourne, Australia. According to Hando there’s a plot by rich men to bring in Vietnamese and other immigrants as cheap labor to denigrate the white working class. He believes that he and his gang are standing up for the common man whites against the system. It’s this ideology that drives Hando and his friends to get Nazi tattoos and attack Asians. They’re a bunch of thugs with dangerous ideas about a race and class war going on in their country.<br /><br />The movie is a bit like A Clockwork Orange with the gangs and the violence but much more realistic and scary. It also raises the question of whether the group can deal with any situation without resorting to violence including how they treat each other.<br /><br />In the end it’s a very nihilistic picture about white supremacy. At the same time it’s enlightening. With feelings of economic dislocation, a belief that the system is against them and xenophobia all mixed together you can get violent groups like in the movie which is happening in real life across the world right now.

Unknowingly makes fun of Hollywood while getting to laugh at Chris Farley
What’s so funny about Beverly Hills Ninja is that it makes fun of Hollywood’s obsession with Asian culture and the common trope the industry uses. That is having a white guy as the main character in what should be an Asian film. Hence The Last Samurai is of course a white man. American Ninja, yep, it’s a white man. That's because the movie industry is racist and doesn't believe Asians can lead their own films. Here Chris Farley plays that role as Haru who is literally called The Great White Ninja, but instead of being the hero he is actually a complete buffoon. He was supposed to be the chosen one, but he can’t get anything right. The actual hero of the film is Robin Shou as Gobei who has to follow Haru around to make sure he doesn’t get killed. That leaves Farley to do all the comedy and he is fantastic in that role. All together this is why Beverly Hills Ninja is such a laugh. Farely’s physical comedy is hilarious. Chris Rock as Joey is also in there, and you get to laugh at Hollywood as well because I don’t think they even knew how ironic this film was.<br />C

It's so sad that he's gone but his shows remain
I’d seen Paul Mooney’s stand up several times. He recently passed away which was a real loss to the comedy world. That inspired me to watch this 2012 special. Mooney is not for everyone because his act is about calling out whites for their racism and blacks for their foolishness. His first piece for example is about cultural appropriation by white people of black culture. He really hits hard while making you laugh which was his talent. He could cut deep with social satire in a hilarious way.

Reflection on maintaining family ties in modern times
An old couple visit their children in Tokyo. Hoping for some quality family time they end up mostly staying in the house because their kids are too busy with work to do anything with them. That’s tied in with Tokyo as the mother and father say it’s a big and busy city meaning people don’t have time for each other in such an environment. Asian societies always push filial piety but in modern times that has become more and more difficult. This movies makes you reflect upon that concept.

Tragic comedy? Delivers both a sad situation and laughs
The Hollars is a family comedy based upon a tragic event. The mother Margo Martindale has a brain tumor which causes more dysfunction within the family that includes father Richard Jenkins, and sons John Krasinski and Sharlto Copley. The jokes are many such as when Jenkins sent his wife to Jenny Craig to lose weight when she had loss of sight, numbness in her toes and fingers and other symptoms of a tumor. That’s what the movie does constantly switching back and forth between the comedy and the mother’s medical situation. There’s all kinds of dysfunctions within the family which are brought up as well to great effect. It makes for both a sad and funny experience which is not what you usually expect from a movie.

Story about why the middle class is shrinking in America
After World War II America thrived on Fordism. That was a deal between ownership and labor that the latter would get high salaries which they would then spend buying things from companies. Both sides profited leading to the postwar expansion of the economy and middle class. In the 1970s corporations broke the deal by moving jobs overseas for higher profits. Wages have stagnated for middle and lower class workers since then while the earnings of the wealthy have skyrocketed. That’s what Company Men is about.<br /><br />The movie comes in two halves. The first is about Ben Affleck who was an executive being fired in a massive layoff to increase revenue. Tommy Lee Jones was his friend within the company who feels guilty that his stocks continue to rise while people are losing their jobs. The second part is about transitioning after being fired. Affleck's family for example struggles to pay the bills. It’s a powerful message about where America is going. In 2015 the middle class dropped to 50% of the population. Company Men gives a hint of how that happened.<br /><br />The supporting cast is very strong as well. Craig T. Nelson is the head of the company, Chris Cooper and Maria Bello are other executives, Rosemarie DeWitt is Affleck’s wife, Kevin Costner is his brother in law and Eamonn Walker is a member of the unemployed that Affleck befriends. They all get their moments.<br /><br />Here's the main problem with what is an otherwise strong release. It focuses upon two top executives in a company to explain how the U.S. economy is changing instead of someone who is working or middle class.

Total classic! It's like a dark action comedy about the end of the samurai era
In 1950 Akira Kurosawa became an international star with Rashomon. 1954 he released Seven Samurai. In 1957 Kurosawa’s adaptation of Macbeth Throne of Blood was released. Then in 1961 Yojimbo came out, which is considered one of the greatest rogue hero movies ever made.<br /><br />It stars Toshiro Mifune as a nameless ronin, masterless samurai. Dozens of movies had featured such a character before, but this was a complete change. Mifune's ronin was disheveled, was unshaven, he appeared to only care about his own personal gain rather than the samurai code, and yet he actually had a heart. This completely remade this character type in Japanese cinema.<br /><br />The story takes place at the end of the Tokugawa era and portrays it as a desperate and lawless period. For instance, Mifune comes across a farmer whose son runs off to be a gambler because he feels like he’s starving at home. His mother says that kids have gone mad. Later Mifune sees a dog carrying a man’s hand in its mouth.<br /><br />The heart of the story takes place in a town in the midst of a battle between two corrupt businessmen Ushitora an inn keeper and Seibei a brothel owner. Each has hired a gang of ruffians who hold constant street battles for control. Mifune decides to play the two sides against each other for what appears to be his own profit. That’s where the title of the film comes from, Yojimbo, meaning bodyguard as he rents himself off to the two warring parties. To prove his bona fides he cuts down some of the ruffians. It turns out Mifune has a conscious however, and his going back and forth between Ushitora and Seibei as a strategy to improve the town.<br /><br />There have been plenty of other movies about ronin but Yojimbo came to define the character type. Mifune was a master swordsman, was a strategic thinker despite his rough exterior, and ultimately had a heart despite his image of selling himself to the highest bidder. Many enjoyed the narrative of Rashomon with multiple perspectives. Seven Samurai became a classic of the samurai genre, and created the storyline of a team coming together for a cause. Throne of Blood was a haunting drama. Yojimbo however is more like a dark comedy of the era. Mifune for example, before he kills his first three criminals tells them what he’s about to do to them will hurt. Then tells the coffin maker to build two caskets, then looks back and says maybe three. When Ushitora and Seibei’s men are about to fight they are more afraid than anything else and constantly fall back at any aggressive move by the other side, and barely get to within striking distance of each other.<br /><br />The movie was hugely popular and led to a number of western remakes, most famously Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars. That’s for good reason because the movie is a classic and highly enjoyable to watch.<br />C

Great movie about a period in American music history Chicago's Chess Records
Cadillac Records is loosely based upon the story of Chicago’s Chess Records. The movie gets its name from the fact that the record company used to buy its top artists Cadillacs. Chess was one of America’s leading Blues, Jazz and Soul labels from the 1950s-70s. It was founded by two Jewish immigrants from Poland Leonard and Phil Chess. The movie only includes Leonard Chess played by Adrien Brody. The movie focuses upon how Chess promoted its artists Muddy Waters (Jeffrey Wright), Little Walter (Columbus Short), Etta James (Beyonce), Chuck Berry (Mos Def), and Howlin Wolf (Eamon Walker). Like other labels of that time Chess ran into financial problems and cheated many of its artists. That’s all here in Cadillac Records.<br /><br />The movie starts with Muddy Waters. One reason why Chess was so successful was because Chicago was the destination for many African Americans who wanted out of the south. Muddy was one of those migrants who left a plantation in Mississippi and headed north for the big city. Chess found plenty of talent like Waters out of that diaspora. Finally, Chess had to put its artists out on tour and get them on the radio that required bribes. Chess also placed the artists basically in debt. They paid them in advance against their future royalties, charged them for recording, etc. This was all part of the music business back then. This is what’s so good about Cadillac Records. It has the artists. It has the music. It has the business. It has their stories. It captures part of American history, although yes, a lot of it is made up but the larger story is true.<br />C

Light heartec comedy about difficulties of finding employment for both young and old
Get A Job is about the difficulties of finding employment for both young and old. That was the twist because it didn’t just focus upon 20 somethings in Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick and Brandon Jackson, but also in Teller’s dad Bryan Cranston. Teller was successful in college and then struggled to find a job. His father Cranston on the other hand gets fired and has his own difficulties due to his age. It’s a light hearted comedy with some low brow humor thrown in with things like drugs and Teller’s friends all being slackers. In fact, some of the side stories stand out like Jay Pharoah as a sophisticated pimp who has one hilarious scene.

Not as good as it could've been
The Golden Compass is a fantasy story where a group called the Magisterium is seeking to control society by destroying free thought. The threat to their plans comes in the form of a young lady named Lyra (Dakota Blue Richards) who possesses the Golden Compass. It’s power is to always reveal the truth. The story is about whether Lyra can reveal the Magisterium’s plot.<br /><br />The movie is full of magic and fantasy. People for instance have an animal spirit that always accompanies them called a daemon. There are witches and talking bears who are warriors. There’s evil as well in the form of Mrs. Coulter (Nicole Kidman) who is kidnapping children for the Magisterium. There are heroes as well such as Lyra’s uncle Lord Asriel (Daniel Craig) and Iorek Byrnison (Ian McKellen) who was once a prince among the bears and becomes Lyra’s protector.<br /><br />For whatever reason ever since I saw The Golden Compass in a movie theater I thought it had too much going on. It introduces things like Dust and never says what it is. It has a big battle which makes no sense like bad guys with guns that get beat by a bunch of Lyra’s friends charging at them with swords.<br /><br />It’s not bad overall, but it’s not as good as it could have been.<br />C

Hilarious tale of a monk that wants to become a luchador/wrestler
Nacho Libre is a story of a frustrated monk Ignacio played by Jack Black who always dreamed of becoming a luchador, a Mexican wrestler. During the intro it shows a young Nacho collecting/stealing together different trinkets to create his own wrestling uniforms. Unfortunately he was living in a Catholic church’s orphanage and became a monk instead. The film is about whether Nacho can fulfill his dreams of becoming a wrestler, while remaining in the church.<br /><br />Ignacio never gave up on his dreams and after seeing a famous wrestler Ramses and all the attention he garnered decides to secretly enter the luchador business. He can’t do it alone however so he finds a partner Steven played by Hector Jimenez, a homeless man that tried to steal chips donated by a restaurant to the orphanage. Steven takes on the luchador name Esqueleto.<br /><br />The movie has one hilarious moment after another. For instance, Nacho’s job at the church is to make the food. It’s so bad the priests complain they had diarrhea for weeks. There’s the wrestling match when Nacho and Esqueleto take on two midgets who dress and act like demons, and proceed to give Nacho and Esqueleto the beating of their life. Then there’s when Ignacio asks Sister Encarnacion played by Ana de la Reguera on a faux date to preach the gospel to a man. She asks why Ignacio is not wearing his robe. He says it was stinky and he needed to wear his recreation clothes. He then flinches his butt cheeks and tells her that beneath his clothes he is a man and beneath the man is his nucleus.<br /><br />A bonus to the film is the amazing soundtrack that is included. It’s a mix of Mexican originals and new work by Danny Elfman and Beck. Like any good soundtracks the music enhances each scene. For example when Steven finds himself chased by a woman at a party he crashed and she is giving him a lustful look just the right song comes on.<br /><br />In the end Nacho actually transforms from someone that just wanted the fame of a luchador to finding meaning in his life and wrestling via a holy mission.<br /><br />Overall Nacho Libre is a hilarious movie that keeps the laughs going after multiple viewings.

Lots of action based upon a true story
As the opening explains in March 1945 the Germans were almost done and were falling back across the Rhine River. They hoped that would provide a natural barrier to stop the Western Allies. The Nazis proceeded to blow up all the bridges across the waterway to block the Allied advance. All except one at Remagen, which led to a famous battle, and eventually this movie. The characters are based upon real figures featured in a book.<br /><br />The story centers around a U.S. unit led by Lt Hartman (George Segal) and his Sergeant Angelo (Ben Gazzara). They are war weary and constantly being pushed by their commander Major Barnes (Bradford Dillman). They are tasked with taking the bridge. On the other side is German Major Kreuger (Robert Vaughn) who has to keep the bridge open for as long as possible to save the retreating German troops and civilians, and then destroy it. He’s told he has hundreds of men to defend the bridge, but when he shows up he’s got little to nothing. The movie does a good job setting up the two sides leading up to their final confrontation.<br /><br />When that comes there’s plenty of great action. The production company was able to get a lot of WWII era hardware from Czechoslovakia where most of the film was made. For example, a bunch of Chafee tanks burst into Remagen followed by Hartman’s men. That after all is why most people watch war films for the fighting, and this delivers it.<br />C

Youth dreams and hard knocks
The start of this movie immediately caught my attention. That’s because it started off with the song Armagideon Time by Willie Williams and then featured tunes by The Clash. The story is about a 15 year old kid Daniel Huttlestone who is forced to grow up quick when his dad Dougray Scott is put into the hospital. He has an absent mom Natscha McElhone and has to take care of his younger sister Anya McKenna-Bruce. The story really takes some interesting turns from him falling for a Punk Rock girl Nell Williams to dressing like a woman so that he looks older and can drive his dad’s taxi to make money. It’s a great plot about youth, dreams and hard knocks. I can’t recommend it enough.

Some great kid actors in this story of abductions and ghosts
I heard a lot of positive things about The Black Phone when it came out and they turned out to be true. First off, I loved how the movie developed. It starts off with kids in the 1970s with insults, bullies, abusive parents and more. You would never know it was going to lead to a horror story with that beginning but it created the right atmosphere of lost adolescence which occurs later. Second, the body of the plot is about abductions and ghosts. It seamlessly blends the two. Third some of the kids really stand out. Mason Thames is the abducted kid who shows a lot of fortitude that he didn’t know he had. His sister Madeleine McGraw is fantastic as a foul mouth fighter. Miguel Cazarez Mora as the toughest kid in school draws blood from his opponents while being philosophical about it. I would say this is a must see if you like thrillers.

Love story masquerading as action flick
You think this is going to be a Chinese martial arts movie but it’s not. That’s just to draw you in. It’s actually a love story. Charles Lin and Yuxi Liu were separated and then re-united. The story is about whether they can start life over again or be foiled by the powerful that want to control Lin. It’s far too sappy and there’s not enough action to make up for it.

A dog cause a revolt against corrupt officials

Doesn't stand up to the test of time from when I saw it as a kid
King Kong Escapes was released in 1967 during the heyday of Japanese kaiju films. It came out after the success of 1963’s King Kong vs Godzilla.<br /><br />The movie features an evil genius Dr. Who that built a robot Kong in the North Pole and was employed by a foreign country to find a rare Element X to rule the world. At the same time, a United Nations submarine comes across the real Kong in the middle of the Pacific. Like usual there’s also a woman that gets Kong’s attention, a blond U.N. sailor on the submarine Ms. Watson. The two come together when Who’s robot breaks down and he wants the real thing to find the Element X. Why they thought an ape would work in the freezing North Pole is another question.<br /><br />The movie is filmed much like the other kaiju movies of its time with men in suits and plenty of miniatures. The problem was the Kong suit they came up with looks ridiculous. The eyes are huge, the mouth is so big it always looks like he’s smiling, and the head mask keeps coming up in the back. It just undermines the entire movie because you can’t take Kong seriously. Conversely, the mechanical Kong looks quite good.<br /><br />I saw this as a kid years and years ago on the local Asian station. It did not stand up to the test of time.

When the robot proves less than reliable, the devious duo scheme to kidnap the real Kong from his remote island home of Mondo. But interfering with their plans are the heroic trio of U.S. Cmdr. Carl Nelson, Lt. Jiro Nomura, and Kong's current crush, Lt. Susan Miller. It's up to them to outwit the greedy ape-nappers in this sci-fi adventure that takes Kong to unprecedented heights of excitement..

Scary look at how fast food can give you an addictive feeling
Super Size Me was Morgan Spurlock’s documentary about what eating McDonalds every day for a month would do to his body and health. Spurlock was inspired by the growing obesity in the United States. You could guess it was not good.<br /><br />Watching the film you get a perverse desire to see just what McDonalds will do to the guy. He consulted with a series of doctors and had weekly check ins with them to test his weight and physical condition and the results were crazy. It wasn’t just weight gain but it affected his liver and because almost everything he ate had sugar in it his mood and mental state changed as well. You wouldn’t think you could get an addiction to fast food but that was the sense he got from it.<br /><br />Along the way Spurlock touches on some side issues as well such as how bad school lunches are, lawsuits against fast food restaurants, the lobbying power of the food industry, and others. Again this was what led him to make the movie so he wanted to include them.<br /><br />After seeing the film it will definitely make you think about your diet. Unfortunately the number of people who might actually change is probably a depressingly small amount.<br />C

What destroyed dreams does to a kid in 70s Glasglow
Neds is about destroyed dreams. It features John McGill (Conor McGarron) who went from wanting to be at the top of his class to not caring because the schools are run like dictatorships. The teachers are abusive and whip the kids. They simply offer nothing. John then falls into a spate of nihilism hanging out with the local toughs in 1970s Glasglow, Scotland. The story seems like it’ll all be about a fall from grace but then it takes some dramatic turns towards psychosis and then the ending is completely unexpected. There’s an attempt at redemption but in a really odd way that doesn’t quite work. It’s definitely not your usual coming of age flick.<br />C

Colin Firth stands out as a pompous cynic brought in to debunk Emma Stone
Colin Firth is a magician who is brought in to try to debunk a psychic played by Emma Stone who is charging a rich family money for her predictions. Firth immediately stands out because he is so contemptuous of mystics that he starts insulting the family and Stone to their faces when he first meets them. He’s a cynic extraordinaire. His character is also totally pompous and they play that for everything it’s worth. The story plays out in both predictable and surprising ways and even has elements of a mystery story to it. Despite being directed by Woody Allen it’s not really funny although Firth’s attitude does cause some laughs here and there.

1 of Kevin Costner & Susan Sarandon's best movies
Every season Susan Sarandon picks one up and coming minor league baseball player to be with to shape him into a man and a better ball player. She picks Tim Robbins who is a hotshot pitcher but a bit of a dimwit. Competing for her attentions is the old vet whose on the verge of retiring Kevin Costner. The movie is one of the best for both Sarandon and Costner and that’s for good reason. Many times Costner comes off as stiff and emotionless. Here he’s loose and joking around. Costner for example does a voice over of his thoughts when he’s at bat which are very funny. Sarandon on the other hand is like a guru for Robbins telling him how to improve on his pitching through things like wearing garter belts. Robbins has his own musings whenever he pitches as well. It’s a very fun film with a different take on your usual sports story.

1 of the best Shaw Brothers releases w/great fighting and more depth to the story
A group of brothers is killed defending the Chinese against the Manchus in a giant battle that included elements of Chinese opera. That opening also showed the production value of the Shaw Brothers house at the time which spent all kinds of money on costumes and sets unlike the other studios. Gordon Liu and Sheng Fu are the only survivors. The movie deals with the most common tropes of Hong Kong movies such as revenge, sacrifice, training, the Shaolin Temple and the evil Manchus. Gordon Liu is great as usual and I like all the sets, etc. that they created. My main complaint is that it took too long for Liu to finish his training and get back into the action. When it does come to the big confrontation however it is really good with Liu taking out people’s teeth.

You think it's just about the sex but it's actually about being lonely
Shampoo is a classic 70s film. I can remember people talking about it when I was a kid. I can see the appeal. Warren Beatty is a hairdresser and ladies’ man involved with several different women, Julie Christie, Lee Grant and Goldie Hawn. The film opens with Beatty having sex with Grant although it’s just the sounds, nothing visual. For the 70s this was a shocker and tantalizing.<br /><br />Watching the movie today I thought it was a bit pointless. Beatty is split between all these women. He goes from house to house, doing their hair and then doing them. It wasn’t until the end that the actual story became clear. It’s about how lonely Beatty is. He doesn’t like his life. He wants his own beauty salon but has no money. He’d like to be with one woman but just goes from person to person instead. If you pay attention closely you can see his unhappiness in his face from the start. It actually surprised me because I thought it was just about all the sex at first.<br /><br />There are some real highlights as well like when Christie gets drunk at a dinner party for the re-election of President Nixon and tries to have sex with Beatty under a table. The irony is that this is happening during a get together for conservative Republicans.

They just remade the 1st Die Hard yet still succeeded despite the script
Die Hard was such a hit they had to turn it into a franchise. So what did they do? They just remade the original. In the first movie he goes to Los Angeles on Christmas, now he’s in Washington D.C. for the holidays. In the original he’s running around inside a skyscraper. Here he’s running around an airport. In both movies the head police officer is a jerk. Reporter Dick Thornburg is back again as well exploiting the situation for his own fame and making things worse. This time the bad guys are a bunch of ex-soldiers trying to free a Latin American dictator from being delivered to U.S. officials for being a drug lord. Seeing as it’s a sequel they also didn’t waste any time on the story as John McClane (Bruce Willis) is shooting at people within 10 minutes of the start. Despite the limitations of the script the movie is still a fun action movie. In fact, the film is good despite the story.<br />C

Never gets funny nor that interesting
After Woody Allen’s heyday in the 1970s his output has been up and down. This was a disappointment. The story is about Woody Allen wandering in a city at night while a serial killer is lose. He plays his usual neurotic part. The problem is he doesn’t push it enough to become funny. Usually when he becomes absurd he gets the laughs. That doesn’t happen here. The rest of the film is about a star studded ensemble cast talking about love and life. That includes Mia Farrow, John Malkovich, Donald Pleasence, David Ogden Stiers, Jodie Foster, Lily Tomlin, Madonna, Kathy Bates, John Cusack, and more.

Based on the 1970 Soledad Brothers case in CA
Brothers was inspired by the 1970 Soledad Brothers trial in California where the brother of the one of the defendants took over the courtroom at gunpoint. It features Bernie Casey who is radicalized in prison by his cellmate Ron O’Neal. Casey’s brother Renny Roker tries to get him released and goes to a professor played by Vonetta McGee for help. Her character is based upon Angela Davis who was part of the Soledad Brothers incident. Along the way it comments upon the criminal justice and prison systems where people are told to cop a plea and serve time rather than argue their cases. How they are dehumanized and the racism they face in prison. The problems start halfway through when it turns into a love story between McGee and Casey. It then redeemed itself with the ending and a powerful image.

Are businessmen conmen or do they just believe in a dream?
Gold is about trying to keep Matthew McConaughey’s dreams alive. He owns a mining company that goes through huge ups and downs. McConaughey is great as usual. He added a belly and thinned out his hair on top to look like an aging businessman. He’s full of bluster because he believes so much in what he’s doing whether things are working or not. In the end it’s about whether he knows what he’s doing or not. It really makes you think that businessmen are really conmen. It all makes for a great and engaging story.

George Raft as a good guy
I’ve always associated George Raft with tough guy parts. Here he’s doing something different playing a guy who’s trying to get his life together after getting out of prison.<br /><br />The film has a common Film Noir theme of the little guy up against it. Rather than being about Raft the main character however it’s a group of auto workers who are all in debt to a loan shark and getting beat up as a result.<br /><br />There’s also a few bits of sharp dialogue which I’ve always enjoyed in Noirs such as when Raft first sees Dorothy Hart. The camera goes up and down her figure when he looks at her and then they have some back and forth about him liking what he sees.<br /><br />Overall Loan Shark is a decent Noir. The main draw is to see Raft as a good guy.

A call for women to stand up and fight!
This movie got better as it progressed. At first it seemed like a typical teenage movie with mean girls, hormones, etc. Then the heart of the story arrives as an all girls school wants to become co-ed. That’s when the characters begin discussing the inequalities between the sexes and sexism in general in America. There’s even a monologue about how women don’t support women’s institutions. In the end it’s a call to arms for women to stand up and fight. These are topics that are rarely if ever brought up in cinema.

Surprisingly good despite much of it being very predictable
Thunderheart is a predictable yet still interesting story about an FBI investigation at a Sioux reservation. It deals with the haves and have nots on the reservation and finding ones identity.<br /><br />Val Kilmer is a young FBI agent who is a part Sioux yet in complete denial about his heritage. He’s sent to the reservation to investigate a murder. His partner Sam Shepard calls the reservation the Third World in the middle of the U.S. because of the poverty. Faced with what he sees Kilmer starts re-evaluating his past.<br /><br />The other part of the film is about the chief who has a small army of armed thugs terrorizing his opponents. He’s backed up by the FBI which uses the worse practices of policing. The chief is up against people using tradition to try to improve the present. The two plots are obviously related and work well together.<br /><br />Movies with good representations of Native people are few and far between. Here they don’t come out with the traditional ways being high and mighty. Instead, Indian policeman Graham Greene mocks Kilmer with them until he starts taking it seriously.<br /><br />I was thoroughly surprised by the movie. Yes you could see most of what was going to happen from the opening scene but there were lots of interesting parts and characters.

1 of my fav Humphre Bogart movies that deals with a moral dilemma on a US Navy ship
This is one of my favorite Humphrey Bogart movies.<br /><br />I like how the start of the film completely misleads the audience as to what it’s about. If one just watched that they might think The Caine Mutiny was a comedy. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. It’s only later that you figure out the opening sets up the entire plot. That’s about the moral dilemma faced by officers on the USS Caine.<br /><br />Bogart played an iconic role beginning with the metal balls that he spins around in his hand which symbolizes his stress and mental state. Bogart goes through a complete transformation becoming a paranoid petty dictator.<br /><br />The other major performance is by Jose Ferrer who only shows up at the end as a lawyer. It seems like the odds are completely stacked up against him and yet he’s so calm and collected. His restraint given the circumstances is what makes him stand out. He turns out to be the most moral of officers and gives a great monologue at the end.<br /><br />My only complaint was that in true Hollywood fashion they threw in a love story that had nothing to do with anything. Totally extraneous, unnecessary and yet so traditional.

Ian Curtis' choices and their repercussions
Control is set up like a traditional musical biography mixing in music of Joy Division with the life of Ian Curtis. The tunes are great and Ian Curtis did have an interesting life. It’s also a tragedy which is different from others in the genre. The movie presents a compelling story of the choices Curtis made in his life and their repercussions. Samantha Morton did a convincing job as Curtis’ wife who was left at home while Curtis became famous. Toby Kebbell also stood out as the band’s manager with his attitude.

Eddie Murphy's relationship troubles
Boomerang is about Eddie Murphy’s adventures with women. He’s a successful businessman who goes from woman to woman. He finds his match in Robin Givens. The movie is actually more about his relationships than the jokes but they are there. Murphy getting down with Eartha Kitt who is the over the top owner of the company that Murphy works for, the rantings of Tisha Campbell who lives next door to Murphy, and John Witherspoon who comes over for dinner talking about his clothes are some of the funniest moments. There’s a number of other strong cast members in Halle Berry, Lela Rochon, Grace Jones, David Allen Grier, Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock.

One of the greatest fantasy films ever!
Conan the Barbarian is one of the greatest fantasy films ever made. It’s got huge landscapes. An amazing cast, with James Earl Jones as the bad guy! Big fight scenes. A giant snake, treasure, evil spirits and more. What more could you ask for? What’s funny is that they barely let Arnold Schwarzenegger say a word because they were afraid his English was so bad that the audience couldn’t understand him. He still did an amazing job as Conan.

Totally over the top sci-fi-comedy
Buckaroo Banzai was a science fiction comedy that was completely outside of the box when it came out. Banzai (Peter Weller) was a jack of all trades. He was a surgeon, a scientist, a musician, etc. He had a rag tag team behind him that were just as eclectic called the Hong Kong Cavaliers. The villain was Dr. Emilio Lizardo (John Lithgow) who was kind of a crazy scientist to begin with but then in 1938 was possessed by aliens from another dimension who really made him loose his mind to the point that he was institutionalized. The story revolves around Dr. Lizardo attempting to free his alien compatriots from the eighth dimension to wreak havoc upon the Earth.<br /><br />The movie is totally crazy. Lithgow as Dr. Lizardo is over the top. To think of a character like Buckaroo Banzai who had such a mish mash of interests and talents was a stroke of genius and ridiculous at the same time. Things even get weirder when some good aliens attempt to help Banzai by sending an agent to help him who comes in the form of a Rastafarian. The movie will basically have you chuckling, laughing, and wondering what they were thinking.<br />C

Woody Allen deals with the complications of love
This is the kind of Woody Allen movie I like. Cafe Society is about Jesse Eisenberg getting caught up in the complications of love. He goes from Hollywood in the 1930s back to his hometown of New York City and meets two women he falls for. Included with that is plenty of celebrities and the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Surprisingly Eisenberg doesn’t provide any of the jokes. That’s left to his gangster brother Corey Stoll who for instance converts from Judaism to Christianity at the end to the great consternation of his mother. I’m up and down on Eisenberg because it seems like he often plays the same kind of character. Here he really shined. He’s confident and goes after what he wants. Stoll was also great as the tough guy.

Too bland
This is a middle of the road family comedy made not to offend any grandmother that might watch. That means it’s completely bland. There were only two parts that I liked. One was when Cedric the Entertaining and Steve Harvey were trying to one up each other during the family prayer. The other was when Credic and his family performed Fantastic Voyage. Otherwise I say pass.

Name's Tupac's killer but the rest has been done before
I can’t get enough of these documentaries about Suge Knight and the murders of Biggie and Tupac. This one was actually made a British team that made an earlier film on the subject. Last Man Standing was supposed to shed new light on the cases by talking to more people. So did they deliver? Yes, it has a new take on how Tupac was killed and names the person that did it.<br /><br />The rest however has all been done before. Suge was a gangster, ran Death Row like a mafia, surrounded himself with Blood members, there were crooked LA cops that worked for Suge, etc.<br /><br />The one thing that stood out was that it emphasized something that I’ve always said. That was Tupac was not a gangster but when he went to Death Row he thought he was one and that’s what got him killed.

Great 1st half but then change things up and sort of ruin story
Will (Daniel Craig) retires from his job, thinks about writing a book and then finds out the house that he moved into was the site of a grisly murder. He decides to investigate which leads him down a rabbit hole.<br /><br />The movie begins like a traditional domestic story until Will finds some teenagers in his basement commemorating the anniversary of the murders. Then a mysterious man appears in his backyard. He finds the books of one of the murdered kids and more. On top of it he finds out that the man responsible Peter Ward is still at large. This all does an effective job building up the tension. The twist is that the more he digs the more he learns about his own past.<br /><br />The first half of the movie is great as it appears to be a psychological thriller. Then in the last part they throw in a conventional crime story and ruin everything. The writers would have been much better off just focusing upon Will, but I guess they couldn’t think about how to finish his story and sort of ruined things as a result.<br />C

Much more than your typical war film
We Were Soldiers is based upon a true story and covers the development of the U.S. Air Cavalry, soldiers ferried to and from the battlefield in helicopters in Vietnam in 1965. It’s different from your usual war film in several ways. First, the commander played by Mel Gibson studies the French loss in Vietnam which opens the story. He notes that they made all kinds of mistakes and got massacred in one encounter. Second, right before they deploy Gibson is told that one third of his men he just trained will be rotated out and be replaced with all green soldiers. Such rotations had a big effect upon unit cohesion during the war. Third, most of the movie focuses upon one engagement that went wrong right from the start. A bad decision meant the unit was going to suffer huge losses. That’s brought home by Gibson’s wife played by Madeleine Stowe having to deliver the death notices to the wives of officers. Fourth it includes a bit on the Vietnamese side with the commander of a Vietnamese division played by Duong Don. Last the film highlights what a waste the Vietnam War was. Duong comments it was a tragedy and the Americans would face the same fate as the French before them. All together that makes We Were Soldiers a superior war film.

De Niro and Grodin make classic odd couple as they get chased across the US
Robert De Niro is a bounty hunter tasked with detaining and bringing in Charles Grodin who was an accountant for the mob. Grodin is a non-stop talker which drives De Niro crazy. That’s part of the charm of the film, the interaction between the two. They make a classic odd couple in this action-comedy.<br /><br />The interaction between De Niro and Grodin drives most of the film. Grodin wants to talk about everything from De Niro’s family to him fearing flying to more. Along the way there are chases, gun play, another bounty hunter who De Niro uses and abuses to comedic effect and more plus the FBI and the mafia are after them.<br /><br />An added bonus is Yaphet Kotto as an FBI agent. He just looks angrier and angrier every time he appears on screen. That starts with De Niro pickpocketing him, taking his ID and posing as him. It’s great to see him show up as a result.

Girl new to city becomes social activist and women in unique coming of age story
Emma Mae is a coming of age story about a young woman Jerri Hayes who comes from Mississippi to stay with her aunt’s family in 1970s Los Angeles. The story is about her journey into the big city. The movie has a lot of good elements. There’s some L.A. pop lockers at a party Emma goes to. She beats up a bunch of people. The heart of the story however is about her finding a boyfriend Ernest Williams III who is nothing but trouble. He ends up in jail and she tries to get him out. She becomes a social activist as a result. There’s a couple monologues about how the system is set up against black people and how the community has to organize in order to fight oppression. It was a surprising turn of events and not what I expected from the start of the film. She becomes a woman as well after everything she goes through.

Matt Damon tries his hand at professional gambling in Chicago. Will he be played or beat the odds and be a player? Will he know his limits or fall to temptation? I’ve always liked Damon and this was a good role for him. He had the look and attitude for the part.

A world of schemers plotters and manipulation
Anne Boleyn (Natalie Portman) married King Henry the VIII (Eric Bana) and was later beheaded. This movie is a derivative of her famous tale and includes her sister Mary Boleyn (Scarlett Johansson) who was a mistress of the king. The story focuses upon how men and women attempted to manipulate each other to gain power.<br /><br />The first part of the movie is about how women were used as pawns by men of the ruling class. After the king took a fancy to Mary for instance, she’s brought to court, given a position with the expectation that she will become a mistress even though the king is already married. Her father (David Morrissey) and uncle (Mark Rylance) immediately begin coming up with plans about how she can get pregnant and they rise in standing as a result. Things turn with Anne who is just as much as a schemer as her family. As she tells her sister, love means nothing without power. She stands out in a man’s world.<br /><br />Everything revolves around lust, love, plots and betrayals which is what makes it interesting. Portman is by far the most interesting character. She’s like an anti-hero for her plotting but also how she plays men like a fiddle. Of course the message is that there is always a cost to power.<br />C

Biopic of Marine who refused to hold a rifle but was determined to serve during WWII
Hacksaw Ridge is more of a biography of World War II medic Desmond Doss who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroism during the Battle of Okinawa than strictly a war movie. Oh yes, Okinawa is in there and it’s pretty dramatic but the movie tries to give a full story of his life.<br /><br />The movie goes through Doss’ upbringing with a drunk and abusive father to his time in basic training. Doss was a Seventh-Day Adventist who refused to hold a weapon. His sergeant and commanding officer tried to drive him out of the Marines through abuse and he was even brought up for court martial but he insisted that he wanted to serve his country as a medic. That gives the background to why he joined the Marines. Originally I thought this part was too melodramatic but it proved its worth as the story progressed.<br /><br />The second half of the story takes place in Okinawa and it is some of the most dramatic and bloody war footage put to film. They said the fight in the Pacific was the worse during World War II and the movie tries to show why.<br /><br />Overall it makes for a group biopic of Doss’ life.<br />C

Men In Black II had Agent J (Will Smith) re-uniting with Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) to save the Earth from Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle) who was looking for the Light of Zartha on Earth.<br /><br />The movie had even more jokes than the first MIB. That started with J teaming up with Frank the alien talking dog. Then when J goes to find K he’s working at the post office and all the other workers are aliens as well including a cameo by Biz Markie. These scenes continued throughout the film.<br /><br />Of course there were plenty of new aliens that got introduced.

Hype Williams was a famous Hip Hop video producer so it would seem only natural that he would decide to write and direct Belly featuring DMX and Nas as two New York City crooks who decide to go into the drug business which brings them nothing but trouble. DMX plays the loose cannon while Nas is more reflective. Each goes through a transformation that is driven by Islam.

It just keeps going on and on and on
Sand Pebbles features Steve McQueen as an engineer on a U.S. navy ship patrolling Chinese rivers in 1926. At nearly three hours the film is far too long and many times it doesn’t seem like the story is progressing at all.<br /><br />There are two storylines in the movie. The first is about McQueen’s relationships with the Chinese and his fellow crewmates. The second is about the struggle for power between the Nationalists led by Chiang Kai-shek and the Communists. That leads to protests against the presence of McQueen’s boat because the Americans are an imperialist power in China.<br /><br />An example of how dragged out the movie is the first hour focuses upon how McQueen doesn’t like Chinese and then befriends one that works on the ship played by Mako. Then the next hour it turns to another subplot. None of them are satisfying nor feel like it makes the movie worthwhile. It just goes on and on and on.

Good plot of rich vs poor but Timberlake doens't quite pull off his role
In Time was a science fiction film where people stopped aging at 25 years old. The problem is they can only live for one more year and unless they earn more time. The film focuses upon the differences between the rich and poor as the rich can live forever because they have the money to buy as much time as they want while the poor struggle to stay alive.<br /><br />Justin Timberlake is Will a factory worker just keeping his head above water. One night he runs into a rich man named Henry (Matt Bomer) who explains to him the system is fixed to keep the rich alive and keep everyone else down for the simple matter that the world couldn’t support a population that never dies. Thus the system constantly increases prices on the poor and other hardships to make sure they die. For listening to him Henry gives Will all of his time. He goes to tell his mom but she runs out of time and dies. The movie is about what Will will do with all his time and whether he can get payback against the rich for what they do to the rest of society.<br /><br />It’s an interesting story but Timberlake isn’t able to fully pull off his role, which undermines things.<br />C

Jimi Hendrix plays a jam session with his new band
This is black and white footage of Jimi Hendrix and his new Band of Gypsys which was Buddy Miles and Billy Cox recorded at the Filmore East. Most of the songs sound like long jam sessions. They have Blues based rhythms with some Funk and Rock thrown in. That means they’re cool to listen to but none are really hits. This is one of those rare Rock recordings where the bass is loud and resonates which gives the songs a heavy bottom end. I didn’t realize that Miles did some of the singing as well like in the middle of Machine Gun and during Miles’ tune Them Changes.

Life of a man whose entire life is struggle and yet has a calmness
God’s Pocket follows the struggling family of Philip Seymour Hoffman. They were having problems making ends meet when their son is killed at his job. How Hoffman deals with the situation is at the center of the story.<br /><br />Hoffman plays the kind of character that can’t win. He robs a truck and doesn’t get paid in cash but in meat. His local bar raises over a $1,000 for his son’s funeral and he bets it on a horse race. The movie comes to be about how much more can he lose. That’s the beauty of the story. You want to see what else can happen to him. At the same time he knows what he’s facing and calmly accepts it. There’s no panic or desperation. It’s just what he knows is his life.<br /><br />You wouldn’t think this type of story had any room for some laughs but there’s some dark comedy thrown in there as well at just the right times. It does come completely unexpected at first.<br /><br />The movie also tries to make a connection between Hoffman’s plight and the working class neighborhood he lives in called God’s Pocket in Philadelphia. They work, they struggle, they face setbacks, but they don’t give up. There’s some nobility in their situation while they are also completely parochial.<br />C

A murder that ends up revealing the people of a town
Robert Altman likes big ensemble casts and letting them lay out their stories before getting to the plot. That’s true of Cookie’s Fortune which introduces people like Charles S. Dutton, Patricia Neal, Glenn Close, Liv Tyler, and Chris O’Donnell before ever getting to what the movie is about. Dutton for example is a man about town who tries to look out for the aging Neal who is the Cookie in the title. The story ends up revolving around a murder mystery. It actually isn’t about that but really the town and its people and all their histories which get explored while looking into the case. Dutton shines as a man with a heart of gold. Close is crazy. I mean really crazy. This is definitely one of Altman’s best films.

The movie has a lot of elements going on from the escapades of a famous movie star played by Peter Sarsagaard to a local mobster John Goodman to the racial divide in Louisiana and even the ghosts of Confederate soldiers. Jones also does a voice over of his thoughts like a good Hard Boiled detective story. Most importantly the characters are interesting and there’s a good amount of mystery and tension to keep you interested. It all makes for a great mix.

A question of faith
This is about a question of faith. Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver are two Jesuit priests who travel to ancient Japan during a government crackdown upon Christianity. They constantly question their religion and purpose in life after what they see in Japan. It eventually becomes about how much can they take and whether they will break. Garfield is the main character and provides a reserved and subtle performance. You can see the costs of his experience on his face and body. The movie was done by martin Scorcese who provides his usual strong direction.

It's not what you expect especially after the opening
If you wanted to see a good prison stabbing and gang fight with some artistic flair then Nightfall has that in the opening scene. That’s complete misdirection however because this is not an action film. It’s a crime drama with detective Simon Yam investigating an ex-con Nick Cheun. It seems like an open and shut case but the story keeps on throwing twists and turns to keep you off balance. Ultimately it comes down to one of the characters teaching the other about loving their children. Definitely not what you would expect and a very good watch.

A story of thuggery and radicalization under the Nazis
There are two major take aways from watching this outstanding film. First it’s about how Georg Elser went from a frivolous young man who only cared about music and women to being radicalized by the Nazis which led him to try to kill Adolf Hitler. Second is the pure thuggery of the Nazi regime. Christian Friedel really shines as Elser. The film begins with his bombing of a hall in Munich where Hitler gave a speech to flashing back to how he came to that point. You would have never guessed that he would became an anti-fascist. Step by step however the Nazi rise to power with the street brawls, the concentration camps, the persecution of the Jews and more turned him into an assassin. This also gives an intimate view of how Hitler came to power with promises of street violence, militant nationalism, chauvinism and more. In addition, there’s the senseless brutality and bureaucracy of the Nazi regime. It got the truth of what happened but didn’t like it so went on and on looking for a written confession. If it wasn’t on paper the government couldn’t accept it.

Bruce Lee always championed Kung Fu to the point of being pompous about it
This is a biography of Bruce Lee featuring Bruce Li. It begins with Bruce going to America and being a student at the University of Washington. That’s not before he has a last sparring session with his teacher Ip Man who has become famous in his own right with a series of films about him.<br /><br />The movie emphasizes that Lee was always a champion of Kung Fu to the point of being pompous about it. Yeah Lee was amazing but he had a huge ego as well. I think it does a better job valorizing Lee than something like Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.

I would watch this if it popped up on TV but that's about it
When I saw the ads for this movie I thought it would be like Jaws but on land. That’s largely how it played out. A lion had its family wiped out and went on a rampage. That meant it was very predictable such as when one of Idris Elba’s daughters got out of car while a lion was outside and then the beast attacked. What’s different about it? They tried to humanize the story by including Elba as a single father with two young daughters who are mourning the death of their mother. In the end, this is one of those movies you would watch if it were on TV but you wouldn’t recommend it to anyone or go out of your way to see it.

Fun treasure hunt despite its limitations
The Librarian was a set of three made for TV movies that aired on TNT. You can tell they were for the small screen because the writing and acting is a bit below that for a feature film. A lot of the special effects were really cheap as well. Despite that there were things to like about it. First they made Noah Wyle an ultra nerd with around 10 college degrees, who lived with his mom, and had never gone anywhere. Second Sonya Walger was his bodyguard and played the super tough, smart talking woman warrior. Third Bob Newhart and Jane Curtin were Wyle’s bosses. Newhart had his usual deadpan delivery and it’s always great to see Curtin. Finally the story was like a giant treasure hunt.

Boy feels boxed in by life and finds refuge in Bruce Springsteen
Blinded By The Light tells an immigrant story. Viveik Kalra is Javed a second generation British-Pakistani living in an English town called Luton. He hates his life. His dad is over-bearing and suffocating. He’s sick of hearing him tell him that he always needs to work harder, do good in school, so that he can get a good job. He wants to be a writer constantly penning poems, stories and song lyrics but he doesn’t feel like anyone listens to him especially not his father. He wants to get out of his hometown and go to the big city. On top of that it’s the 1980s and England is deindustrializing costing Javed’s father his job. Finally, there’s rampant racism in society, especially against Pakistanis. What does he find as the escape from his doldrums? The music of Bruce Springsteen.<br /><br />The movie does a good job incorporating the Springsteen music and new and creative ways. One time he puts on a tape of Bruce and it seems like the lyrics are speaking directly to him as the words appear all around him. From there the movie starts becoming like a musical. Another time he puts on some Springsteen and begins singing the lyrics out loud and then serenading a girl he likes and the crowd starts dancing around him.<br /><br />The movie has a serious side as well with the problems with his father. In the end Javed realizes what his father has meant to him which is the emotional height of the film, and of course, he relates it to the lyrics of Springsteen.<br /><br />Blinded By The Light is a British story. It’s an immigrant story. It’s a musical story. It’s a family story well worth watching.<br />C

Gut wrenching story of family and survival
Blue Bayou is about family and survival. Justin Chon and Alicia Vikander are about to have a baby when Chon gets arrested and is threatened with deportation. I love Justin Chon. He makes really emotional movies like this one. You immediately feel empathy for his character’s situation and want to see whether he will be able to get out of situation or not. The movie slowly builds in intensity until the gut wrenching ending. This is another trademark of Chon’s films. He really hits you in the gut when things are done. I can’t recommend this movie enough.

3 songs is enough to hold you over for this video short
In the 90s I was really into underground Hip Hop. One of the biggest labels in that business was Rawkus and that’s how I heard about Talib Kweli. This session was recorded in 2003 right after that period. The first part of it is Kweli, his DJ and two back-up singers in a studio performing for the camera. After that is an interview with him, a commentator going over his career, and then it gets weird as Kweli takes questions off the Internet. I guess this was for some TV show. The music is obviously the best part. The back-up singers really add a soulful element to Kweli’s tunes. The problem is there’s only 3 songs!

It's a comedy about identity and stereotypes for young African Americans in the inner city
Dope features three friends Malcolm (Shameik Moore), Diggy (Kiersey Clemons) and Jib (Tony Revolori) leading a carefree life. They go to school in Inglewood and are enjoying their senior year. All three are nerds, listening to old school Hip Hop, playing in a punk band, getting picked on by the hood kids, and for Malcolm, hoping to go to college. Everything seems like it’s just another day when everything gets completely out of control. The movie focuses upon identity and stereotypes for young African Americans.<br /><br />The film focuses upon Malcolm. Exactly what kind of kid is he? Is he the nerd that he looks like with his hi-top fade? Is he the aspiring college student with a unique take on things with his essay on Ice Cube? Is he a sophisticated drug dealer? Or is Malcolm his own man, being able to create his own future and identity? The message is about how looks and stereotypes can be deceiving.<br /><br />The film was produced by Forest Whitaker and Nina Yang Bonglovi and directed by Rick Famuyiwa who's done movies such as The Wood, Brown Sugar, and Talk To Me.<br /><br />Dope mixes some great old school Hip Hop, some young and engaging actors with a lot of comedy and some serious themes in the background. Highly recommended.<br /><br />C

Folktale comparing innocence of Gump with sometimes ugly realities of America
Forest Gump is like an American folktale. It weaves through Forest’s life starting off with his spinal problem that made him wear leg braces when he was growing up and having a low IQ through playing football at the University of Alabama then a soldier in Vietnam and most importantly his love for Jenny his boyhood crush. By doing so it goes through some of the major events of post-World War II America starting with meeting Elvis, and then issues like school desegregation, the Vietnam War and the protests against them, Watergate, and so much more.<br /><br />The movie compares the innocence of Forest which was the image America had of itself with the reality. For instance, Jenny was abused by her father and was eventually taken away from him. More importantly it talks about the political and social problems America had such as the assassinations of Governor Wallace and Bobby Kennedy when they ran for president and President Kennedy.<br /><br />There is plenty of comedy thrown in there as well. When he went to the University of Alabama he was the punt returner. He didn’t know he was supposed to stop when he reached the end zone however and one time ran right out of the stadium.<br /><br />Forest Gump was an instant classic when it came out and still captures people’s imaginations to this day.<br />C

Archenemies change faces and get to do some bad things
Face Off is one of John Woo’s great Hollywood productions. It featured John Travolta as FBI Agent Sean Archer and his archnemesis Nicholas Cage as criminal mastermind Castor Troy. At the start Archer captures Troy but then finds out that he planted a biological bomb in Los Angeles. The FBI has to find out where it is so it uses an experimental procedure to switch faces between the two so Archer can pose as Troy within his gang and discover where the bomb is. The problem is afterward Troy escapes and with Archer’s face infiltrates the FBI to carry out more crimes. The dilemma is whether Archer can get his face and identity back.<br /><br />The fun part of the film is to watch the Troy version of Archer. He shows up at the house and tells his daughter that she’ll be seeing a lot of changes because papa’s got a brand new bag to quote James Brown. On the other hand you get a bit of the crazy Cage when Archer realizes he’s stuck with the face of his most hated enemy.<br /><br />The next thing that sticks out is that Woo brought a lot of his famous action sequences to the film. The opening has Archer and Cage with two guns firing in each hand. Then they have a stand-off where they stick their guns in each other’s face. The climax takes place in a church with birds another Woo aesthetic. What was good for Hong Kong obviously worked in Hollywood too.<br /><br />Cage and Travolta do great jobs with their parts and they both get to act bad which was fun. Woo got to show off his directing chops as well to a Western audience.<br />C

Underwhelming fight sequences
Lo Lieh was one of the great villains in Hong Kong films. He started off as a hero however. The Five Fingers of Death is a perfect example where he plays Chih-Hao who is training for an upcoming martial arts competition. Master Meng Tung-Shan (Tien Feng) is determined to win by any means necessary and deploys a variety of fighters including some Japanese mercenaries and a traitor from Lo’s own school. The Japanese look hilarious with big hairdos by the way.<br /><br />Lo’s saving grace is that his master teaches him the Iron Fist technique. The first time it’s used in combat many will recognize the score as Quentin Tarantino used it in Kill Bill. He also borrowed a scene where a fighter’s eyes are plucked out. Unfortunately the fighting choreography is not that good and makes the movie a bit of a disappointment overall.<br /><br />Last but not least the version that Amazon has on Prime is a horrible copy. It looks like it’s a copy of a VHS tape.

He’s confused and she has anger issues and superhuman strength but he’s just so happy to see her he ignores everything which leads to the zombie apocalypse. Things play out like a dark comedy like DeHaan’s dead grandfather showing up at his house out of the blue and his parents welcoming him in and offering him a seat. Matthew Gray Gubier plays DeHaan’s psychotic brother who just wants to shoot everyone including DeHaan and John C. Reilly is Plaza’s dad who just wants to make his daughter happy. It’s pretty fun.

Takes time setting the story & mood but it's worth the wait for the ghost to be revealed
The Woman In Black is a period piece ghost story. Daniel Radcliffe as Arthur Kipps is a lawyer who travels to an isolated town in rural England in the early 1900s to look into the will of a deceased woman. He finds the locals don’t want him there and a bunch of calamities befall the town, which is blamed upon him. It turns out the estate Kipps is looking into is haunted by a vindictive woman ghost who is taking out her revenge.<br /><br />The movie is a slow burner. Much of the beginning is setting the mood of the film. Everything has dark over tones and is kind of Gothic. As for the ghost there are only hints of it at first. There are noises and screams and then a brief glimpse of a woman. Kipps in turn, spends a good amount of time walking around the estate looking for clues as to what is going on. Eventually that all builds up as Kipps begins to see more and more of the haunting, which finally gets to be scary. Things even become personal as his own son is coming to town at the end of the week and he’s afraid what might happen to him.<br /><br />The Woman In Black takes a while to get to the good stuff but it’s worth it. It’s a very good supernatural thriller with a surprise ending thrown in as well.<br />C

Surprisingly good sci-fi about helping a young woman wanted by the powerful
I had absolutely no expectations for this film and it surprised me right off the bat. First it’s a dystopian setting with a sharp divide between the rich and poor. The struggle between the powerful is the theme of the film. Second Michelle Yeoh shows up as a nun overseeing a young woman Melanie Thierry that Vin Diesel is supposed to deliver. Yeoh is worth seeing in any movie she’s in. Thierry provides the drama in the film as she’s opposed to the violence of the world. There’s action. There’s mysticism and religion. There’s the struggle for power. It’s all a good mix in Babylon A.D.

3 phases of Chiron's life and struggles
Director Barry Jenkins created a unique coming of age film with Moonlight. It covers three decades of the main character Chiron’s life from elementary school to high school and then adulthood. In each phase he faced a different struggle. First it was dealing with his single mom who had a drug problem, then discovering his sexuality to trying to find peace with himself when he grew up. The standout performances are by Mahershala Ali who plays a drug dealer who took Chiron under his wing when he was little after he saw him being chased by other boys, Ashton Sanders who played Chiron as a teenager, and Naomie Harris as the mother. There’s a real tragic irony about the relationship between Ali and Chiron that’s brought out in two powerful scenes. There are also some memorable images such as when Ali tries to teach Chiron how to swim. It’s an image that symbolizes Ali becoming a surrogate father. Another time there’s a silent sequence of Chiron’s mother yelling at him which explains their relationship. The last two scenes bring everything full circle creating a fitting conclusion to Chiron’s life.

Holds true to the best elements of the Godzilla movies
Growing up as a kid in the 1970s I used to watch Godzilla movies all the time on TV. In the 1990s Japan restarted the series but like the later originals they were aimed mostly at kids and were not too enjoyable. I was very happy therefore when the 2014 American remake came out and captured many of the best elements.<br /><br />First, the opening scenes pays homage to the original Godzilla films with tales of giant monsters and the effects of nuclear tests. In the original 1954 Godzilla the monster was born from the nuclear age. This version flips that a little bit by saying that these beasts had lived off of nuclear energy since before the birth of mankind, and that the nuclear tests after World War II were actually an attempt to kill Godzilla.<br /><br />Second, every movie like this needs a good villain and that’s provided by two giant insect like beasts that are drawn to each other to mate and to combat Godzilla. One of them first appears when it causes a nuclear disaster at a power plant in Japan.<br /><br />That also introduces the main human characters Ken Watanabe as Dr. Ishiro Serizawa who has been researching these giant monsters, Bryan Cranston as Joe Brody who was a technician at the nuclear plant, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as his son Ford Brody who grew up in the shadow of his father’s loss after the nuclear disaster, and who was also a Navy officer, and Elizabeth Olsen as his wife Elie Brody. Cranston would become obsessed with what happened at the nuclear plant especially because his wife died. The son would end up fighting the monsters, and the wife was caught in the middle as the battle between Godzilla and the bugs occurred in her hometown San Francisco.<br /><br />Third, like a good monster movie the star isn’t immediately revealed. Instead, it builds up with the two insect beasts until Godzilla arrives to fight the first one in Hawaii. The main event however occurs when the two insects meet in San Francisco. The humans have a plan to destroy them with a nuclear bomb, while Godzilla has his own ideas. That leads to one of those classic battles with buildings being smashed, monsters being thrown around, and Godzilla showing his best.<br /><br />Overall, a great movie and an exciting addition to the Godzilla franchise.<br />C

Makes fun of 80s action flicks
Tango & Cash is a classic 80s buddy cop comedy starring Sylvester Stallone as Tango and Kurt Russell as Cash. The movie is over the top and ridiculous from start to finish as the two police work together to take down a mysterious crime lord Yves Perret played by Jack Palance who has it out for them.<br /><br />As soon as you see Tango and Cash you can’t help but chuckle. Tango wears a suit and glasses while Cash has a mullet. They constantly make one liners and some of the action like the two driving an armored and armed van just make you laugh as it’s supposed to. They even have Cash dress up like a woman to get out of a club.<br /><br />If you love your 80s action movies you have to see Tango & Cash because it makes fun of that entire era.

Tale of lost ideals and corruption during Vietnam era America
Talk about how cynical America had become because of Vietnam. The start of this movie has disillusioned journalist Michael Moriarty buying a bunch of drugs to make it rich because he’d lost his ideals while reporting on the war. The movie actually deals with Moriarty’s friend Nick Nolte dealing with the drugs back in California. He runs into all kinds of slimy characters one after another. That’s another comment upon where the country was going in the 1970s. It all makes for a surprisingly good tale.

The best of the G.I. Joe films
2021 was the year of the Asian superhero. Not only did Shang Chi come out but so too did Snake Eyes.<br /><br />The plot is very familiar to people who like Kung Fu flicks. It’s about Henry Golding seeking revenge against the man that killed his father. He finds himself caught in a web of deceit.<br /><br />First off, this is a re-imagining of the origins of not only Snake Eyes but Storm Shadow as well. The tale of the two was originally told in another G.I. Joe film.<br /><br />Second the action was good but not great. The best part was actually Eri Ishida the head of a Ninja clan jumping around and killing people! These big Hollywood films could really do with some new fight coordinators that tried some new things and made the fighting stand out.<br /><br />Despite that I still enjoyed the film. It was actually better than G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra which was just an excuse for action scenes and gadgets. It also had the most developed story of the three Joe films.

They did not do Teddy justice with this doc No energy and too many talking heads
Teddy Pendergrass was an amazing singer but this documentary doesn’t do him justice. That’s because there are too may talking heads and the pace is so slow. Yeah there are some interesting stories like how his new manager booked female only shows early in his solo career and the music is fantastic but they go from that to more talking heads. The movie just has no energy. It’s such a shame that his life story got such a poor treatment.

Over the top action movie that didn't take things so seriously
Shoot Em Up was a high octane action film starring Clive Owen as Smith, a mysterious man who knows how to use a gun. The movie begins with Smith ending up with a newborn baby after its mother is murdered by a bunch of gunmen led by Hertz (Paul Giamatti). Smith wants to know who is after the baby and finds out powerful people are involved. He recruits a hooker named Donna (Monica Bellucci) to help him with the baby while he uncovers the plot. The film is full of gun play and made its own unique take on the action genre.<br /><br />During the opening there are several scenes that show Shoot Em Up was a bit tongue in cheek. First, Smith talks about how he hates men with pony tails and then shoots one off a gun man. Then in a gun battle he shoots out the letters of a neon sign to spell “F** U Too.”<br /><br />The second thing that made the movie interesting was the twists it added to the action. For instance, Smith drops his gun into a toilet and has to disassemble it to try to dry it out. It’s still wet however so he puts it under a hand dryer until he can use it. Another time he picks a gun up off the floor after dispatching a bunch of henchmen but it has a thumb print lock on it so he picks up the severed hand of the former owner and uses his thumb so that he can shoot Hertz.<br /><br />The goal was to go over the top while also not taking things too seriously and led to this rousing movie.<br />C

Moving portrayal of fighting in Sarajevo but through western eyes
Welcome To Sarajevo is a condemnation of the West’s response to the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s. It’s based upon a book written by a reporter about his experiences there and his adoption of a Bosnian girl.<br /><br />The movie switches between a small group of journalists including Michael Henderson (Stephen Dilane) and Jimmy Flynn (Woody Harrelson), aid workers like Nina (Marisa Tomei) and some Bosnian helpers such as Risto Bavic (Goran Visnjic). The killing of civilians, the humanitarian crisis and the displaced are all emphasized using scenes of the reporters out in the field such as the start when a family is heading to a wedding and one of the women gets gunned down by a sniper. There is also actual news footage from the time period mixed in along with quotes by U.N. and western officials about how they would not save the people of Bosnia from the war. The people of Sarajevo are also given voices through characters like Risto and his friends who contemplate their lives and the war.<br /><br />The movie is very powerful and moving. There are plenty of harrowing scenes of displaced families and kids and aid groups trying to get them out of the war zone and the dangers they faced. Of course the drawback is that it’s based upon Western reporters in a warzone rather than the people of Bosnia themselves.

Dark side of pop stardom but loses focus at the end
The description says this movie is about dysfunctional pop star. Then it begins with her in high school when she was a victim of a mass shooting. It’s a shocking start and not what you would expect. Violence was a reoccurring theme throughout Vox Lux as it tries to contrast Natalie Portman’s pop career with the realities of the world.<br /><br />The film includes several elements that I enjoyed. First, William Dafoe provides a voice of god narration to story. It’s kind of surreal. Second, Jude Law is the manager who is rude, abrasive, and completely jaded. Third, it covers the wear and tear and toll that stardom takes on celebrities.<br /><br />All those were great but I didn’t like the ending which was an extended concert scene. After presenting mostly a dark story of pop life it shows all the glamor and power of an artist. I didn’t think those two things connected.

2 manipulative people neither of which is sympathetic
Lolita is about a middle aged James Mason falling in love with a young teenage girl Sue Lyon. Given the censorship rules and moralism of the 1960s I’m surprised it ever got made. What it does instead is focus upon Mason’s relationship with Lyon’s mother played by Shelly Long and then him acting like a controlling father for Lyon. It was probably the only way to make the film given the time period and constraints. The problem was it didn’t make for an interesting story especially in the second half when it devolves into Mason nagging Lyon and her acting out as a result. Even the ending which doesn’t make much sense doesn’t really add anything. What the movie comes down to is two manipulative people neither of which is sympathetic at all.

Changed the game for Marvel and super hero movies
When Deadpool came out in 2016 it was a complete game changer. It wasn’t just that it had an R rating because the Blade trilogy had done that. It wasn’t just that it was a comedy action movie since Ant-Man had come out the year before and the Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014. It was because it captured the irreverence and ridiculousness of the Deadpool comic. That meant ultra violence, wise cracks, not taking itself seriously, and breaking the third wall by Deadpool talking directly to the audience watching the film.<br /><br />That position was seen in the opening with a slow-mo CGI sequence of Deadpool shooting a bunch of guys in a van while the credits are being made fun of. For instance it starts with “Some Douchebag’s Film” then starring “God’s Perfect Idiot” with a flash of People magazine declaring Ryan Reynolds the sexiest man alive. There’s even a Green Lantern card shown which was Reynolds previous superhero flick, which was a huge flop. That sets the mood for the entire film.<br /><br />The director and writers took full advantage of the R rating with the comedy, the cussing and the action.<br /><br />There are all kinds of references to the comics as well. Pool and the other mercenaries hang out at Sister Margaret’s School. During the big fight at the end DP runs into a friend Bob amongst the mercenaries, which is Hydra Bob. There are plenty of others.<br /><br />If you’d seen X-Men Origins Wolverine Ryan Reynolds first played Deadpool. He captured the non-stop talking and jokes, but the rest was a wreck. Reynolds wanted to reprise the role but do it right, and that’s exactly what he did.<br />C

I saw Dio in the early 1980s after his first solo album Holy Diver came out. I remember him being a great vocalist and being really short as well. This was from 2002 in New York City.

On the other hand there’s a song that Rage Against The Machine ripped off the opening guitar line from and all his old hits which are still golden.

Fun to watch but not that original
The idea of a group of people being dropped into a deadly house that was out to get them has been around forever. 2019’s Escape Room was the latest version. The movie had six people from different backgrounds being invited into a competition for $10,000. They enter a room which unknowingly begins the game for their lives.<br /><br />There is nothing original about the concept of the film. Each room they are in has a series of clues they must find and solve before they die. The first room for example begins going when one of the character pulls off the exit door handle, which reveals a thermostat. One of the characters sees the book Fahrenheit 451 and thinks the temperature should be turned to that degree. That actually turns on a series of heaters that are going to raise the temperature to 451 degrees. They have to find the way out before they are cooked alive.<br /><br />While it’s exciting to see the players go through the rooms you can see obvious influences, especially at the end. One of the first things I thought about was Saw.<br /><br />Overall, fun to watch, but not that original.<br />C

There’s no honor amongst thieves and there’s no business without connections. Those are the two main themes of Mobsters which covers the rise of the new generation of mafioso Lukcy Luciano (Christian Slater), Bugsy Siegel (Richard Grieco), Meyer Lansky (Patrick Dempsy), and Frank Costello (Costas Mandylor). The movie has the four youngsters rising through the ranks and having to navigate between the mafia bosses Don Giuseppe (Anthony Quinn) and Don Salvatore (Michael Gambon). That includes escaping assassination attempts and making shifting alliances. This is all classic gangster stuff and it’s well done. There’s violence, there’s the deals, there’s all the talk and of course the backstabbing. My only complaint is that they throw win some arbitrary love stories. Thankfully they don’t get a lot of screen time.

Yen shows up with a smile and just believes that his positive attitude will change things. It’s a story meant for 13 year olds.

Vivica A Fox lays it down on how to control your man
Two Can Play that Game is a running commentary by Vivica A. Fox about how to keep men in line. It’s good to see a woman’s perspective because these types of movies are almost always about men. Anthony Anderson was great as Morris Chestnut’s wingman and relationship philosopher. He got to crack some funny anecdotes and stories about how to handle women. Bobby Brown’s even thrown in there for a short hilarious cameo.

1st 3/4 is are fun then the ending just jumped off a cliff
Art School Confidential is a coming of age story. Max Minghella was an introvert who was picked on in high school. He goes to art school to try to find himself and his voice as an artist. What I liked best about the movie was the people that Minghella meets. Isaac Laskin is a cynic who hates on everyone at school. Ethan Suplee is a crazed movie maker. Jim Broadbent is a graduate of Minghella’s school who says that you need to learn how to kiss butt to make it in art. Minghella’s art classes are also ridiculous when they try to break down someone’s piece with all kinds of esoteric observations. What I didn’t like was that it added this crime angle that I think had something to do with the suffering artist trope. I thought it was really unnecessary and made for a bad ending.
