Casey Affleck really shines in this story about loss and family
Originally I wasn’t impressed by Casey Affleck’s roles as supporting characters. He wasn’t bad but he didn’t get my attention. Then I started watching a couple movies where he was the lead and he really impressed. In Manchester By The Sea he plays an anti-social repairman who has to take care of his nephew Lucas Hedges after his dad Kyle Chandler dies.<br /><br />Right from the start Affleck is given some funny scenes where he tells off a woman and then gets into a bar fight because two guys were looking at him. Then there are awkward ones like when he gets into a talk about sex with Hedges. That’s not the overall tone of the film however as it reveals Affleck faced a series of tragedies.<br /><br />The role really lets Affleck shine. He gets to show highs and some real lows. Hedges as the nephew is also good. It’s a very powerful film about loss and family. I do have to say that the end dragged a bit and some editing could have tightened it up a bit.

One of Craig's better Bond films
Spectre was the culmination of the previous three Daniel Craig Bond films. Starting with Casino Royale he ran into a mysterious criminal organization which he eventually found out was called Spectre. This was based upon the original Bond movies where Sean Connery faced off against Spectre as well and its leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld here played by Christopher Waltz. The new twist was that this was a battle over Bond’s past which began in the previous release Skyfall where Craig returned to his ancestral home.<br /><br />Spectre has one of those spectacular James Bond beginnings set in Mexico City during the Day of the Dead celebrations where Craig drops a whole building and then gets in a big fight inside a helicopter flying over the middle of Zocalo the square in the center of the city. I like how they mixed in the action with the celebrations featuring a great set of costumes.<br /><br />The plot had a nice build up as well leading to Blofeld. He literally comes out of the dark the first time he meets Craig. They also played with a line from Goldfinger about Bond coming to die. There was further nostalgia with Craig driving a new Aston Martin the brand that Connery was famous for.<br /><br />It all makes for one of Craig’s best Bond films.

Kung Fu murder mystery
Fight For Glory was not your usual Hong Kong Kung Fu flick. The story is a martial arts mystery. Li Ching had her father and fiancé killed by a group of assassins led by a mysterious figure Cold Moon. She recruits David Chiang and Norman Chu Siu-Keung to find who Cold Moon is. There’s also plenty of back stabbing and double crosses. It makes for a much more interesting plot than was the norm for this period. The fight scenes are also well choreographed with a lot of speed and towards the end there’s wirework with Chiang and an opponent flying through the trees. The one drawback is that this print looks like it was copied from an old VHS tape.

The future is staring Ryder McLaughlin in the face but it'll cost him
The future is staring Ryder McLaughlin in the face. The question is will it cost him his friends and family. The movie does a good job showing the toll it takes on McLaughlin each time he makes a decision. He captures the role perfectly. He’s not that old so it must have come easy for him playing this skater kid. The story was also realistic. You see teens in similar situations all the time. There’s a good soundtrack backing things up as well.

Robert Mitchum has the swagger for his role but love story drags things down
Robert Mitchum is a “town tamer” basically a gunman who gets deputized and cleans out the bad guys one way or another. Mitchum has the right swagger for the role. Like usual there is a love story which drags things down. There’s nothing like seeing the tough gun fighter beg a woman for answers to his love lorn questions. If not for that this would be a pretty good Western.

Defending the role of the press in a democracy
The Post is an engaging drama about the Pentagon Papers which was a top secret report about the history of the Vietnam War. It showed how administration after administration escalated the war even though they knew it wasn’t winnable. The report was leaked to the media which led to a legal battle over whether it had the right to write about it or not.<br /><br />There are several outstanding moments in the film. The best is obviously about Vietnam which shows how the government consistently lied about what was going on. There’s one moment where Daniel Ellsberg played by Matthew Rhys who helped write the Pentagon Papers said the study found 70% of the reason why U.S. troops were sent to Vietnam was not to win the war but to stop the humiliation of a U.S. defeat. Another memorable part is actual recordings of President Nixon and his aides talking about prosecuting the media for reporting on the Pentagon Papers. The Post also showed how the political establishment in Washington works with both Streep and Hanks being close to the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, going to vacation with the them and having dinner with them. It emphasizes that the media just doesn’t report the news it also reflects the political elites’ views and ideas. Another time Hanks goes on a monologue about the role of the free press in a democracy. He said that the government can’t lie to the people and it’s the role of the press to expose them and stop them and hold them accountable. It’s the ideal that the media believes in even if it doesn’t often do it. Another time the editors and reporters at the Post get into a heated argument with the lawyers and executives about whether the Post should publish stories or not because it could put the paper out of business. It showed the risk the paper was taking. What I didn’t like was this background story about the financial situation of the Post. It was supposed to add to the dilemma Streep faced over whether or not to go with the story but I thought it was extraneous.<br /><br />Overall it’s an excellent movie about the role of the press in America at one of its best moments in history.

Uses zombie apocalypse to comment on the class differences and govt authoritarianism in Korea
Seoul Station is an animated prequel to the fantastic zombie flick Train To Busan.<br /><br />The movie follows two groups of people. On the one hand, there’s a young woman Hye-sun and the other group is the woman’s boyfriend Ki-Woong and her father who are driving around the city looking for them. They and the supporting characters all represent the underside of Korea. Hye-sun for instance is a runaway prostitute. When the zombies first attack she befriends a homeless man that helps her out. It’s they who are first afflicted and other people don’t listen to them because they are poor hitting at the class differences in the country.<br /><br />The government also shows up and makes things worse by attacking humans instead of the zombies. This definitely a poke out how Seoul has dealt with protests and other social movements in the country, often resorting to force.<br /><br />While not half as entertaining as Train To Busan it’s still a good zombie story. It’s political message about government repression in Korea and how the poor are not seen and respected by society makes it better than your usual story of the undead.<br />C

An interesting story about a scene and a club in Costa Mesa Orange County CA
Clockwork Orange County covers the Punk scene in Orange County in Southern California in the late-1970s to the early-1980s. There’s a bunch of rebellious and bored kids that felt like outsiders formed a scene. Some of the bands that emerged out of that were the Adolescents, Agent Orange, T.S.O.L., and others. They found a venue in a place called the Cuckoo’s Nest, which was eventually shut down by the city.<br /><br />The story is relayed through a series of interviews from the past and present. There’s also a lot of really bad sounding vintage footage. Many of the interviews are interesting and the bands are pretty good.<br />C

Martin Lawrence at the top of his movie game
Blue Streak is a comedy crime buddy cop film all wrapped into one. After Martin Lawrence as Miles fails at a robbery he poses as a policeman to try to get a diamond he stashed inside what became a police station. He gets partnered up with Detective Carlson (Luke Wilson).<br /><br />Lawrence got to exaggerate everything to play up the jokes. Whether that was playing a pizza delivery man with fake teeth or getting to drive crazy in a cop car. That was all part of the joke. Miles liked the fringe benefits of being a cop like going fast down the street, but he didn’t like the other parts like chasing criminals.<br /><br />This was released when Martin Lawrence was at the top of his game as an actor and is still funny today.<br />C

4 cripples battle the men that handicapped them
Crippled Avengers is another Shaw Brothers classic which featured members of the Venom Mob thus named for their collaboration together at the studio and their appearance in the film Five Deadly Venoms. The story is about Karma as Chen Kuan-tai has his wife killed and his son Chu Cho Chang’s hands amputated and turns evil afterward. Together they cripple several men in town blinding one, making another a deaf mute, cutting off the legs of a third, making a fourth mentally handicapped. They join together and seek revenge upon the father and son.<br /><br />The story goes through a familiar pattern with Kung Fu films. Chen and Chu get wronged. There’s the aftermath. Then they wrong the men in town who train and prepare to fight Chen and Chu with a big climax confrontation at the end.<br /><br />I think Chu stands out the most from the ensemble cast. He just looks evil, far more than Chen.<br /><br />The fight scenes were of course top notch. One of the things the Venoms were known for was choreographing their own action sequences using elaborate movements.

An inspirational story of dreams and social class
Breaking Away was one of my favorite movies growing up. Watching it years later brought back a lot of nostalgia and I remembered just how good it was.<br /><br />The themes of the film are dreams and social class. Dennis Christopher wants to emulate the Italians which he thinks are the best bicycle racers in the world. He and his friends Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern and Jackie Earle Haley are called Cutters, the kids that don’t go to college in a college town. They are looked down upon as the poor kids by the college students.<br /><br />The movie sets a great tone. Much of the opening is about the freedom Christopher gets from riding his bike and his strange obsession with Italians which makes him speak Italian and listen to Italian music. That drives his father Paul Dooley crazy. There are a lot of comedic moments as a result.<br /><br />The second half switches to the themes of whether Christopher can realize his dreams despite his class.<br /><br />It’s really an inspiration film.

Socially awkward Joaquin Phoenix falls in with cult leader Philip Seymour Hoffman
Joaquin Phoenix plays a socially awkward man who is lost in society. He didn’t fit in with the Navy during World War II and has an even harder time afterward. Then he’s taken in by Philip Seymour Hoffman who runs a cult and is called The Master. The question is whether Phoenix can stay with the cult as he’s never been able to stick with anything else before.<br /><br />Phoenix has come to play these types of characters to a T and Hoffman of course delivers as usual. The first half of the movie laying out Phoenix’s problems with people and then finding Hoffman is the strongest part. There’s a period in the middle however where Phoenix is put through Hoffman’s process which gets kinda boring and then the ending didn’t quite work for me either.<br /><br />More importantly it gives a glimpse into how cults, New Age and splinter religious groups are formed. A strong personality speaking about higher truths can seemingly always find followers if they are persistent enough.

How people cope with problems
100 Streets is about different people in London facing difficulties. One couple is separated. Another wants to adopt a baby. A young man has run ins with the law but has dreams of writing and being an actor. The person I was really drawn to was Charlie Creed-Miles. He played a good guy who just couldn’t get a break. Franz Drameh is the type of character that usually draws me in but his story was a bit routine until the second half when it really started hitting home.

If you like the Zatoichi films you'll like the TV series
Shintaro Katsu’s role as Zatoichi was so successful that it led to a TV series running from 1974-1979. This DVD contains the first few episodes of season one. Just like in the movies the blind swordsman travels from place to place trying to right wrongs caused by the corruption in ancient Japan caused by criminals and the government.<br /><br />In the first episode for example a Yakuza (gangster) boss has taken control of a copper mine with the complicity of the authorities. Asa result he has refused work to some and offered it to others as an exercise of his power. He comes to help a family that is struggling against the new boss. Of course that confrontation leads to a swordfight at the end.<br /><br />The TV series also borrowed many successful elements from the movies. In episode 2 Zatoichi takes part in his favorite trade, which is gambling. He uses his usual act of playing a dumb blindman that everyone can take advantage of and then he wins angering the gangsters that run the place. That leads him to draw his sword so that he can collect his winnings. The Yakuza try to get the money back leading to another displace of Zatoichi’s sword skills while he’s eating noodles for a little comedy thrown in as well.<br /><br />Basically if you like the Zatoichi movies you will like the TV series as well.

Great idea for a story but not well executed
This is an old school 1950s Science Fiction movie that had a good premise but wasn’t well executed. The story was inspired by Noah’s ark as a planet comes so close to the Earth that it would destroy it and only a select few people would get off the planet in a space ship and land on the on coming planet. It had the skeptics of the science. It had people turning on each other as the end neared. What failed was the obligatory love story and the ending which was just too corny for me.

Good sci-fi action with one of the few original stories in the Terminator franchise
Salvation stands out from the entire Terminator series for a number of reasons. First of all it doesn’t take place in the present but in a post-apocalyptic future where John Connor/Christian Bale and the resistance is fighting for their lives against the machines. Second it doesn’t include Arnold Schwarzenegger. Third, out of the 6 films in the series this is only the third one with an original story.<br /><br />It’s not a bad sci-fi film. There’s plenty of action. There are a lot of different terminator variants you don’t see in any of the other movies. It’s not as good as the best in the series but about the same as the later ones which were all variations of the first two releases.

2nd half saved this film
I was split on this movie. At first I was disappointed because it was mostly Eddie Griffin doing his usual schtick a lot of which he did in other movies like in Undercover Brother. Than the second half was a lot better because it was more original. Irish Jam involves the fish out of water and David vs Goliath tropes as Griffin goes from Los Angeles to Ireland to own a treasured community pub which a rich guy Kevin McNally wants to buy. The second part is when the story got better because it was Griffin actually acting out a plot rather than just doing his thing.

Humanistic portrayal of army basic training
I really enjoyed this film. It features Colin Farrell as an army recruit going through basic training during the Vietnam War. He’s a dissenter who actually cares about others but has no interest in the army. The scenes of him helping fellow soldiers is not what I expected from the movie. It also shows the psychological toll the stress of training and going off to Vietnam placed upon soldiers. It’s a very humanistic story and was directed by Joel Schumacher.

Lights Out was the directorial debut of David Sandberg who would go on to do Annabelle: Creation and Shazam! The movie was a supernatural horror flick. The premise of the film is that a beast appears when the lights are out.<br /><br />The movie does a good job with the horror aspect. The light saves people so there are all kinds of scenes with lights going off and on, etc. The story also creates the right amount of tension. That makes it an effective thriller.<br />C

It's not funny and without the laughs it's not that good
I was a big fan of the Hitchhiker’s book and the BBC TV series so I was excited to watch the movie. It captures the irreverence of the book and TV show, but it’s not as funny. That’s the main drawback because it really tries especially with Sam Rockwell. I didn’t laugh once however. It does have a sense of adventure as Martin Freeman is thrust across the universe but it’s not the same without the jokes working.

prostitute seeking redemption
This movie has a great start as Constance Towers is beating up her drunk boyfriend with one of her shoes. Then he pulls at her hair and it’s a wig revealing that she’s bald!<br /><br />Towers is a prostitute seeking redemption by moving to a small town in middle America. There she tries to do good and save others to make up for her past.<br /><br />The story features a lot of over the top character and scenes. For instance, Towers falls for “a local baron” and fantasizes about the two in Venice while an opera plays over the top. There’s also a recurring scene of Towers singing with crippled kids in a hospital. It’s purposefully angelic.<br /><br />There’s also a contrast between the little town and a dark underside. There’s prostitutes, pimps, talk of abortion, and a perverse secret at the end.<br /><br />It’s really a wild mix.

Very nostalgic watching this childhood favorite again
When I was a kid there were a lot of Japanese anime on TV. One was Battle of the Planets which was called G-Force on my local station. I loved the mix of robots, spaceships and action. Watching it today on this DVD creates a huge amount of nostalgia. My only complaint is that there are only two episodes on the disc and not more. Added bonus Casey Kasem did the voice of Mark the G-Force leader.

How southern prisons replaced slave plantations
Brubaker (Robert Redford) poses as an inmate in a southern prison to see how conditions are. What he finds is shocking. There are routine beatings and whippings sometimes for no apparent reason. Rapes happen in front of everyone and they look on. When he turns out to be the new warden he finds even more malfeasance. Inmates who were guards called Trustees, the former warden, and members of the prison board were involved in all kinds of corruption schemes. As he digs deeper it just gets worse and worse. What Brubaker discovers is a corrupt system from top to bottom.<br /><br />What is immediately apparent is that the prison system was a replacement for slavery in the South. The prisoners were used as free labor to make money for others and they were beaten to keep them in line and silent.<br /><br />Given that is it possible for Brubaker to change things as a reformer? That’s the question the movie poses.<br /><br />The movie is very gripping and the fact that much of it is based upon a true story that took place in Arkansas makes it even more disturbing.<br />C

You can't run a legit business in Vegas working for the mob
Casino was another one of Martin Scorsese’s epic mafia movies. It featured Robert De Niro as Sam Rothstein, Joe Pesci as Nicky Santoro and Sharon Stone as Ginger McKenna. Rothstein was given control of the Tangiers hotel in Las Vegas by the mob in the 1970s. The story is about his struggle to run a competent business in the face of all kinds of pressure to screw it up.<br /><br />Like Scorsese’s best films it’s a character driven story. Rothstein is a control freak in a business that he can’t control especially when he has friends like Santoro who feels like he can do what he wants and McKenna who is a loose cannon. Those two stars also get to shine. There’s all the crime and killing that Santoro does and McKenna just plays men like fiddles. All three of their performances were outstanding.<br /><br />There’s also many great mafia moments like Rothstein having his car blown up. Scorsese is just fantastic at creating memorable scenes.<br /><br />Finally the story takes a shot at Las Vegas. Everything looks so good but below the surface it’s so bad.<br />C

Story of an alienated kid who joins a gang
I’ve owned the soundtrack to this movie for years but it’s not until now that I’ve actually watched the film. I have to say I was pretty impressed. The story was about an alienated kid Bryan O’Dell who takes up with a gang. You saw his problems and then how things escalated from there. It also featured Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs who I will always remember for being in Welcome Back Kotter that I watched as a kid. My only complaint was that the ending aws very abrupt and didn’t really resolve anything.

Awe inspiring as a warrior princess
This is the origins story of Wonder Woman. She was an Amazon born out of Greek mythology to stop Aeries the God of War who emerges during World War I. It’s up to Diana/Gal Gadot to find him.<br /><br />Gadot is great as the heroine who is both naïve about the world but a true leader and fighter at the same time. There’s a great scene where she’s faced with the death and destruction of World War I and decides to charge a German trench on her own. It’s awe inspiring and creates her image as a warrior princess.<br /><br />The movie works well as a fantasy film and a war movie.

One of a kind of story of a boy who would never give up on his first and only true love
At its heart Slumdog Millionaire is a beautiful love story. Jamal and Freida met when they were very little but were almost immediately separated. Jamal could never forget her though and spent the rest of his life looking for her. That would take him through conflicts and fights with his brother, running into not one, but two gangsters, and eventually the police, and yet he wouldn’t give up. He was so determined he wouldn’t let anything get in his way.<br /><br />At the same time, in the background the movie is also about the development of Mumbai. Originally it was called Bombay. Jamal and his brother Salim grew up in a slum in the city. They were Muslims and early on their mother was murdered in an anti-Muslim riot there. They went on a journey across the country and when they returned Bombay had turned into Mumbai which had become one of the fastest growing and richest cities in the nation.<br /><br />The story was relayed in a unique way. It was told through a series of flashbacks. That became popular with Pulp Fiction, but what was added was that the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? was how the history of Jamal and Freida was portrayed. He got on the show because he knew Freida watched it. He was then accused of cheating and taken in by the police. The inspector played by the late Irrfan Khan goes through each one of the questions he answered on the show. He explains how he knew the answer because of an event in his life and that leads to the flashbacks. For instance, he was asked what American figure was on a $100 bill. He knew that because while he was looking for Freida he ran into an old friend who gave him a $100 and named Benjamin Franklin as the person’s face on the currency.<br /><br />The movie has plenty or tragedy and comedy mixed in to make it enduring. For instance, when Jamal and Salim were young a movie star came to their slum. Salim, who was always mean to his little brother locked him in an outhouse as he went to see the star. Salim was so determined to see him he jumped through the poo hole into a huge pile of excrement and ran off to see the celebrity as well.<br /><br />The movie is truly unique and memorable and should be seen by all.<br />C

Absurdity of South Africa's apartheid and questioning of race
Skin is based upon the true story of Sandra Laing. She was born in South Africa to white parents but looked black. Under the racist Apartheid system she was considered African and discriminated against. The theme is about the absurdity of Apartheid that ruled South Africa for decades.<br /><br />The conflict is apparent from the start. She’s sent to school, discriminated against and eventually kicked out by the administration. Then she gets classified as colored by the government. There’s even an insane set of tests they do to prove their point. For instance, they put a pencil in her hair and tell her to shake her head to see if it falls out. In such a racist country like South Africa there was no way that Sandra was ever going to be treated equally.<br /><br />You also see the psychological toll this takes on Sandra. In one instance she’s so ashamed of her looks that she mixes a bunch of cleaning supplies and applies it to her skin to try to lighten it so she can pass for white. As in every racist system it not only separates people but causes self-hate as well.<br /><br />This obviously causes conflict with the parents. There’s the added twist that the father Abraham (Sam Neill) is racist against blacks as well such as when customers come to his shop he won’t allow them to put money in his hand because he doesn’t want to touch them and instead demands that they drop the money on the counter.<br /><br />In court it’s brought up that most white Afrikaaners had black relatives sometime in the past. That accounted for Sandra. The African genes in the family came out after years. More importantly it questioned Apartheid that was based upon whiteness. What did it mean to have such a drastic racist system if most whites were actually mixed? That was the point of the movie to question not only Apartheid but race as well.<br />C

WWII was about King country and family for UK
In Which We Serve was a British World War II film. It focuses upon a Royal navy boat that was sunk. It’s full of war propaganda like saying the Germans were cowards and the Italians were lazy because they lived in a warm country. It also flashes back and forth from the sailors trying to survive in the sea and their families. Amazingly the middle and working class sailors live almost exactly alike to wipe away the class differences which were so stark in England. In the process what starts off as a war film quickly becomes a story about families to show that the WWII was all about King, country and loved ones. The result is a decent film but nothing special.

THE best Film Noir ever!
Double Indemnity THE greatest Film Noir of all time. The movie has some of the famed tropes of the genre but also bucks others. The story is about Walter Neff played by Fred MacMurray an insurance man in Los Angeles who plots with Phyllis Dietrichson played by Barbara Stanwyck to kill her husband. The movie was based upon a book by crime novelist James Cain but was extensively re-written with the help of Raymond Chandler another purveyor of the hard-boiled detective style.<br /><br />The movie begins with Neff recanting his tale of murder and betrayal to his boss Barton Keyes played by Edward Robinson. Neff thought he’d gotten away with the perfect crime of killing Mr. Dietrichson, but then everything unraveled. The doomed man up against the odds is a mainstay of Noir. The movie however also breaks some of those standards. For example Phyllis is not a femme fatale as many would think. When Neff first meets her she’s just gotten out of the shower and walks down the stairs to the front door and Neff can’t stop thinking about the bracelet on her ankle. If it was all about her sexiness that got Neff to take out her husband than this would have followed that trope about women in Noir. However it’s not the seduction that draws them together. Instead it’s the fact that the two are grifters, conmen out to buck the system by killing Mr. Dietrichson so they can collect the insurance money, which pays double on certain deaths, hence the title of the movie Double Indemnity. Another way the film breaks the genre is that when Neff realizes the game is up and he’s about to die he doesn’t go to Phyllis to bear his soul but rather Keyes who was like a father figure to Neff. It was about trying to beat Keyes as much the money that led Neff towards the insurance scam-murder.<br /><br />Double Indemnity also has some of the best Film Noir dialogue ever recorded. That was due to the writing chops of Ramond Chandler. There are so many great exchanges that my friend I originally memorized several of them after we first saw the film. That just adds another gem onto this already great film.<br /><br />The Academy of Motion Pictures agreed on how great Double Indemnity was when it came out nominating it for 7 Academy Awards. It didn’t win any, but that showed how much of an impact it had and it still does today.<br /><br />This version of the film comes with an introduction by Robert Osborne who used to be the host on Turner Classic Movies channel.

Art student enters a world of exploitation murder and horror
Alienated art student Thomasin McKenzie finds herself shifting back and forth between the present and the 1960s London where she sees and feels the experiences of Anya Taylor-Joy who is an aspiring singer. That leads into a world of exploitation, death and horror. I liked the turn towards the dark side and the ending of course is a giant surprise. Did not see the twist coming. My one criticism is I think the middle got a bit stale because McKenzie keeps doing the same thing over and over. A little bit of editing could have made this even better.

He tries to fit in by going to high school, finding a girl he likes, and getting picked on.

Critique of the British military & class system but it's too long
Charge of the Light Brigade is about the Crimean War fought in the mid-1800s between England and France vs Russia. The movie focuses upon the Hussars Cavalry Regiment. The movie is a critique of the British military, the class system, and the pointlessness of war.<br /><br />The differences between the officers and fighting men of the Hussars symbolize the rich and poor in British society. The regular men are recruited out of the slums of London and are looked down upon by their sergeants and officers as lazy scum. One officer says that the men only fight because they are flogged not because they are paid or believe in any ideas. The officers on the other hand are all upper class and spend their time doing little to nothing, which is ironic because idleness is one of the stereotypes they have of their men. The regiment is led by Lord Cardigan (Trevor Howard) who runs it like a tyrant.<br /><br />The first hour of the film is not only about how the regiment is run and the class system but throws in a love triangle as well for some melodrama which is completely unnecessary. The second hour is the actual war.<br /><br />The start of the conflict is another critique. The British army is full of bluster when it lands in the Crimea. It soon falls apart in the heat and long march. Men are passing out left and right as their officers are completely uninterested in their fate. That’s foreshadowing of how the war will go. Needless to say it’s a farce.<br /><br />If they’d edited this movie down from its 2 hour and 10 minute playing time it would be much better. It’s only the stupidity of the entire endeavor which keeps things interesting.<br />C

Samuel Jackson doing his classic angry man to prove he's being framed
After Samuel L. Jackson is framed for stealing money from the police pension fund and killing his partner he takes hostage to figure out the truth. Kevin Spacey is the police negotiator trying to talk him down. The role allows Jackson to do his classic angry man. There’s a hilarious situation where he’s talking to a policeman and trying to teach him never to say no during negotiations but he keeps on saying it. It reminds one of the scene in Pulp Fiction where he tells a man not to say what but he keeps on doing it anyway. Spacey is very smart and professional. There’s a nice tit for tat between him and Jackson where Spacey keeps on hanging up on him to re-establish some authority. The movie also does a good job confusing the audience about who’s behind everything. It makes for a good police drama.

Bad writing & James Bond rip off make this a Police Story too many
First Strike was the fourth installment in Jackie Chan’s Police Story series. Jackie plays an agent called Jackie of all things, sent to investigate weapons dealers. The story is all about double crosses. Its got the usual comedy, stunts and action. The main drawback is that it is such an obvious take off of James Bond and full of some bad writing choices.<br /><br />The problems with the story are apparent right from the start. Jackie is sent to Russia and immediately gets stuck in the middle of a shootout and chase. That’s where the James Bond comparisons start as there’s a ski scene that is just like a Bond film. Even the music sounds like a Bond film.<br /><br />Fortunately Chan’s antics save everything until the end. That’s when they decide on the ridiculous idea to have an extended fight scene inside a fish tank replete with mechanical sharks.<br /><br />Overall, the movie suffered from some really bad writing and if not for Chan’s usual charisma and stunts it would be almost unwatchable.<br />C

Movie is a little rough around the edges but you gotta root for the kid Albrizzi
Tucker Albrizzi and his friends are being terrorized by a kid in high school. The story is about him finding the strength and determination to deal with his difficult situation.<br /><br />The movie definitely takes this familiar tale in an unexpected direction as Albrizzi is assisted by a group of older men to learn how to defend himself, namely one of my fav actors Danny Trejo, and Ron Canada. They help the kid transform most importantly in attitude. The movie also takes a comedic look at Albrizzi’s plight. Not everything is refined about the movie. Some of the acting is a bit awkward at times but the story is fun and you have to root for Albrizzi.

As the action got bigger it didn't get any better
This was the first GI Joe film. The story centered around Cobra stealing four warheads and Joe trying to get them back. Along with that was some background to the main villains and heroes like the connection between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. Really though this was just an excuse to have a bunch of action scenes pitting Joe vs Cobra full of gadgets, guns, ships and vehicles. Mixed in with that was a large dose of nostalgia for 80s kids who grew up watching the cartoon. Most of it was senseless fun but there were some problems as the movie progressed. One was casting namely having Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a member of Cobra. He still looked like a kid even with heavy make-up on. Second, while I liked the action at first, as it got bigger and bigger I didn’t think it got any better. Thus the giant climax at the end was just okay. That was my ultimate opinion of the film when it ended.

One small Danish unit seemingly fights the entire Nazi invasion in 1940
April 9th is about one small Danish army unit facing the German invasion on April 9, 1940. The movie pits the Danes as the huge underdogs against the Nazis.<br /><br />The state of the Danes is laid out at the start of the film. An army unit does a training mission where they are drilled on changing the tires on their bicycles. More importantly the political leadership didn’t want to provoke the Germans even though it was clear to everyone they were about to invade. That meant the soldiers were kept in their barracks while the Nazis positioned their forces on the border. When the war finally starts the unit is all by itself.<br /><br />The movie is very depressing. The Danes are completely undermanned and underarmed versus their German opponents. It almost questions the point of fighting against such odds.<br /><br />At the end there are interviews with actual Danish soldiers who took part in the war.<br /><br />It’s a very short and sweet war film just like the Danish-German War.

Not as bad as some critics say but still has some big problems
Daredevil was one of the pre-Marvel Cinematic Universe films. It featured Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock who would become Daredevil, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Michael Clarke Duncan as the New York crime boss Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, and Colin Farrell as the villain Bullseye who is hired by Kingpin to get rid of Daredevil. The story is about Murdock’s relationship with Elektra which brings him into conflict with Kingpin and Bullseye.<br /><br />The movie tries to give the story a little Film Noir feel to it. Murdock does a voice over about his crime fighting. There’s plenty of night scenes playing upon the darkness and shadows that were popular in Noir. One time Murdock wonders whether he’s making any difference which is a classic Noir trope of the main character up against the world.<br /><br />The main problem with the film is that Affleck is just not a convincing superhero. There’s a sequence where he first meets Elektra and they have a battle of skills in a playground and while she has a nice flow to her motions Affleck does not. Of course most of his action scenes are full of special affects as well.<br /><br />The director also did a bad job with Bullseye. For instance he kills Elektra’s dad with one of Daredevil’s sticks which has a blunt tip. How do you kill a man with a stick that doesn’t have a point to it????<br /><br />Overall, the movie wasn’t as bad as some said, but it still had some big flaws.<br />C

A story about race and corruption in post-WWII Los Angeles
Devil In A Blue Dress was a film adaptation of Walter Mosley’s first book of the same name. The movie featured Denzel Washington as Easy Rawlings, Don Cheadle as his friend Mouse, Tom Sizemore as DeWitt Albright, and Jennifer Beals as Daphne Monet. The first part of the film sticks closely to its literary source. The second half was new and unnecessarily made the plot far more complicated than it had to be. DeWitt Albright hires Easy to find a woman named Daphne. During his investigation dead bodies start showing up and Easy is afraid he’ll be blamed because he’s black and would make a perfect scapegoat for the police. That brings up the themes of of African Americans after World War II and the corruption in Los Angeles.<br /><br />The story is good but goes through too many twists at the end. At first, it’s a straightforward detective job as Easy goes around to different locations and talking to people looking for Daphne. The two eventually find each other but she tries to manipulate him, hence she is the Devil In A Blue Dress. After that however things get twisted around so much many people might get lost as to what happened. I blame this solely on the screenwriter Carl Franklin. If he’d just stuck to the book more the plot would have been much better.<br /><br />The message about blacks in postwar LA uses a lot of subtle symbolism but is very important. Easy came to the city from Houston, Texas in what was called the Second Great Migration as African Americans left the south for the West Coast to get war jobs during WWII. Easy fought in the war, got out, worked in an aircraft factory and used the G.I. Bill to buy a house, which was his pride and joy. He represented the black middle class that was formed in the state during the war. When the conflict ended however, blacks were the first fired. That’s shown as Easy gets laid off from his plane job, which is why he goes to work for Albright, he needs the money to keep his house and maintain the California Dream. A man in Easy’s neighborhood keeps on trying to cut down people’s trees including Easy’s. That represents cutting down the dreams of African Americans. They came to California, found success, but afterward many of them took a step backwards as they got laid off, their kids were segregated, their children went to inferior schools as a result, and many of their neighborhoods turned into ghettos. Daphne also has a message, but to reveal her symbolism would be to spoil the story.<br /><br />Finally, Devil In A Blue Dress is a neo-Film Noire. Easy finds that Daphne is connected to all kinds of powerful people in Los Angeles who are corrupt and racist. They try to hush up their crimes and maintain their images as the fathers of the city. Easy is caught between them in what seems an unwinnable situation which is a hallmark of Noire films. Daphne Monet is also a femme fatale a beautiful woman who causes nothing but trouble for the women that get involved her with. It also has some of the sharp and short dialogue Noir's are known for.<br /><br />Overall, Devil In A Blue dress is a very good mystery. While the story gets complicated it actually might be better than the book, and the messaging about race and Los Angeles are stronger in the film than the original novel.<br />C

Classic odd couple rom-com featuring the movie star & the book shop owner
Notting Hill is a classic romantic comedy featuring Julia Roberts as movie star Anna Scott and book shop owner Will Thacker played by Hugh Grant. The story plays upon the odd couple theme with the rich and famous Anna falling for the common guy Will.<br /><br />The story is told from Will’s perspective. He starts off by explaining his working to middle class neighborhood of Notting Hill. His bookstore that’s struggling to stay open. Then one day Anna Scott walked into his store. That leads to an unlikely romance which is what the entire movie is about. Of course there are ups and downs as well to add some drama.<br /><br />The comedic moments are quite good. Will’s housemate is an idiot. One time he walks out in a scuba diving suit because he found it in Will’s closet and thought it looked good. Another time Will shows up to see Anna at her hotel and it turns out to be a presser for her new movie. He poses as a journalist from Horse & Hound magazine. As the two talk every time her agent walks in he has to ask her some inane question about horses and hounds. When they’re done Will is shuffled off to all the other cast members and has to interview them as well.<br /><br />There were some cheesy parts but in the end the film had just the right mix of comedy and romance which is why it’s considered a classic.<br />C

Crimes against humanity at Alcatraz prison
Kevin Bacon was a prisoner in Alcatraz who tried to escape and as punishment was put into solitary confinement for three years. When he got out he killed the man who put him in solitary and Christian Slater was made his defense attorney. The movie turns into a case against the prison system for abuse. Bacon and Slater dominated the film with their characters. Bacon played an emotionally and mentally damaged man while Slater played the crusader for justice. They also had them going up against a system that didn’t want to be exposed. Those two factors are the reason to watch Murder In The First.

Symbolic story about a revolution
Each one of Jordan Peele’s movies has a distinct message to it. The problem is he’s not straight forward with what it is using symbolism instead. That means there’s a lot of people who watch his films and come away dumb founded about what they were about. Us is a perfect example.<br /><br />A family goes to Santa Cruz, California and runs into their doubles who are intent upon killing them. What the story is about is the oppressed rising up in a bloody uprising. The doubles literally live below everyone else marking their social status. They’ve been forgotten and neglected and now want their time in the sun.<br /><br />An example of the symbolism Peele uses is at the very start of the movie when there’s a TV ad for a special event called Hands Across America which was meant to raise consciousness about the hungry in America. Well the doubles want to make people aware of their situation as well but they will use violence and leave a trail of blood behind in true revolutionary fashion. There’s other messaging as well like the rabbits in the cage, the numbers 11:11 showing up, and more.<br /><br />I thought Us was great and even if you don’t get the message you can still enjoy it. It’s a great and creepy slasher film.

Compares the Red Scare with the US bringing in Nazis to fight the Soviets
House On Carroll Street is an interesting story about the Cold War. It compares the Red Scare with the U.S. bringing in Nazis to help with the fight against Communism. It poses the question of what kind of country would accuse its own people of being traitors and then align itself with Nazis? It mixes a political thriller with a police drama and does it quite well. It takes place in New York City and uses that landscape in scenes such as a chase within the Strand Bookstore and Grand Central Station.

2 people that can never be together give inspiration to Romeo & Juliet
William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) is struggling with writers block. He goes to a psychologist who suggests that his problem is that he lacks romance in his life. Then he meets a young actor Mr. Kent that captures his imagination with his skills and then sees Viola de Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow) and falls in love with her not knowing that they are one in the same. Viola is enthralled with Shakespeare’s words while having to deal with her parents who have married her off to Lord Wessex (Colin Firth) of Virginia. The story is obviously about whether Will and Viola can find love given their situations.<br /><br />Romeo and Juliet is the backdrop to the affair between Shakespeare and Lesseps. On the stage the actors rehearse the scenes and slowly but surely realize how special the play is. Off stage, Will and Viola struggle with their situations which gives inspiration to the play. It’s a great piece of writing to intertwine the two stories together, and a very special experience to watch.<br />C

A search for a car in a harsh and declining world
This movie reminds me a bit of the first Road Warrior film. First, they were both made in Australia. Second, the world is going to hell but there are still vestiges of civilization left. As Guy Pearce says it’s a dog eat dog world and unless you learn to fight you’ll perish. The irony is he just wants his car back from three criminals that stole it. He’s matched with Robert Pattinson who together form a typical odd couple. Pearce is angry and violent while Pattinson is meek and scared. The sparseness of Australia’s outback matches the simple task Pearce and Pattison are on.

By far the best of all the Mission Impossible releases Set a new standard for the franchise
The Mission Impossible franchise had always tried to be bigger and better with each release. With Ghost Protocol they took it to a new level. The stunts they pulled off would become a staple afterward.<br /><br />The story was about Swedish theorist Kurt Hendricks (Michael Nyqvist) dreaming of starting a nuclear war, which he believed would lead to a world renewal. He orchestrated a theft of Russian nuclear codes, and Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his teams of Impossible Mission Force operatives Benji Dunn (Smon Pegg) and Jane Carter (Paula Patton) with the addition of analyst William Brandt (Jeremy Renner) were tasked to stop him. Along the way they went to Moscow, Dubai, and Mumbai to add the international flare to the film. Those provided some of the most memorable action scenes such as when the Kremlin gets blown up or Hunt has to scale the outside of the tallest building in the world in Dubai. These scenes took the franchise to a new level. They also used some inventive gadgets as usual such as when Ethan and Benji have to break into the Kremlin and employ a camera and projector to make it seem like there’s just a blank hallway when in fact they were moving a projection screen down it so that they could get into a room. They weren’t afraid to make fun of themselves either such as when Jane has to work up the guts to seduce an Indian millionaire or when Brandt is afraid to jump into a room and have a magnet catch him.<br /><br />Afterward the Mission Impossible franchise tried to build upon Ghost Protocol and have more and more giant stunts, but they never topped what happened in this release. It really set a high standard that made it incredibly enjoyable to watch.<br />C

Compelling true crime story even though you know what will happen at the end
Empire State is a true crime story. It takes place in New York in the 1980s with a heist that was bound to fail. I liked the beginning which set the mood of the decade in the city. The problem of course is a big mouth which comes in the form of Michael Angarano who can’t shut up. That means nothing but trouble for his friend Liam Hemsworth. There are other problems as well as this motley crew decide to rob Hemsworth’s job. What’s crazy is that the story just keeps escalating. That’s because Hemsworth and Angarano had no idea what they were doing. Even though you know what’s going to happen at the very end they still made it a compelling story that made you want to see what and how things transpired.

The Allied Attempt to destroy the Nazi rocket program
Operation Crossbow gets its name from the Allied attempt to destroy Nazi Germany’s rocket program during World War II.<br /><br />The movie starts in 1943 before the invasion of France. Prime Minister Winston Churchill played by Patrick Wymark calls in Duncan Sandys played by Richard Johnson to investigate the Nazi rocket threat which the premier fears could stop the Normandy landings. Sandys puts together a team of experts to go over the intelligence, while the Germans have just completed their V-1 flying bomb. The movie does a great job showing the German rocket program with very realistic reproductions.<br /><br />The British decide to put together a secret team to infiltrate the German rocket factory and put it out of business. The spies pose as European engineers and scientists, but that causes all kinds of problems. One of which is one of the spies John Curtis played by George Peppard runs into the wife of the man he is impersonating played by Sophia Loren.<br /><br />The movie is a good but not great espionage thriller. It starts with the intelligence work the Allies had to do to find whether the Germans actually had functioning rockets yet. That is by far the best part of the film. It then has the spies dropped into occupied Europe. That's where the movie falters as the section is too long and the inclusion of Sophia Loren is superfluous to the story. The last act is the action part where they have to expose the underground factory to a British bombing raid. The first half is a good fictional telling of what actually happened. That's done well.

Entertaining but not really funny
From the title you would think that Date Night is another romantic comedy but it’s not. It’s actually an action comedy. Tina Fey and Steve Carell get mistaken for another couple and get chased by a couple of dirty cops. I thought the jokes were VERY tame. I think I only laughed once. Still I watched Date Night until the end because I’m a fan of Fey and Carell and I wanted to see what happened to them. While the movie was entertaining it wasn’t that special.

The vampire world is no paradise
The vampire world is no paradise. That’s the theme of Daybreakers as vampires have taken over the world which led to a shortage of blood for them to survive on. Rather than focus upon vampires vs humans it’s more about vampires vs vampires. The end was a fantastic picture of horror and gore. Loved the twist on this age old story.

He just wants some love and respect
My tolerance for mindless comedies has grown over the years. Mall Cop is a perfect example. I would’ve never watched this in a theater and probably would’ve passed when it was on TV. Nowadays I’m like ok I’ll gladly check out Kevin James. And why not? He plays a lovable character. He’s a guy with a thankless job just looking for some love and respect. You can tell what’s going to happen like the pretty girl and the humiliation but James is such a good guy you just go along with it. That’s especially true for the over the top sequence in the second half. I especially like his daughter Raini Rodriguez giving him pep talks about how he can get a life.

Has many of the common features of film noir but the writing just flops
Mulholland Falls was a neo-noir set in 1950s Los Angeles. The movie begins with a secret filming of a couple Allison Pond (Jennifer Connelly) and General Timms (John Malkovich) who was the head of the Atomic Energy Commission. Later Allison is found dead, pulverized to the point that all her bones were broken. A hardnosed Los Angeles detective team led by Max Hoover (Nick Nolte) and including Ellery Coolidge (Chazz Palminteri), Eddie Hall (Michael Madsen) and Arthur Relyea (Chris Penn) are tasked with investigating the murder which leads them to corruption in the government.<br /><br />What the film does well is capture the tough guy heroes in Hoover and his team. They also represent the classic noir trope of the common man up against forces much more powerful then themselves.<br /><br />What’s off about Mulholland Falls is that the story just isn’t that interesting. The audience is supposed to care about who killed Allison and all the intrigue surrounding her death but the writers just didn’t make it a good whodunnit. Without that there’s no motivation to stick with the film.<br />C

Trials and tribulations of the main character meant to symbolize Nigeria in the 1960s
Half Of A Yellow Sun is based upon a book of the same name. It follows Olanna (Thandie Newton) who came from a wealthy family from Lagos. It seems like she has everything. She has money, a college education, and she is a college professor. The story starts with her personnel life with her boyfriend Odenigbo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and the problems that ensue. Politics slowly takes over as the Nigerian Civil War begins and the country is divided by tribalism. It is a very bitter sweat tale.<br /><br />The first thing the movie does is lay down Olanna’s family and relationship. They represented the elite of Nigeria living happy lives, but under the surface there were all kinds of problems.<br /><br />The second part of the film was about the impact of the Nigerian civil war. Biafra in southern Nigeria declared independence stoking a bloody war. Olanna and Odenigbo supported Biafra and became internal refugees during the conflict. They lost family and friends and had everything taken from them. Mixed in with their own struggles are news reels covering the war.<br /><br />The point of the story is Olanna’s perseverance and how her story related to Nigeria. No matter what happened to her or what she lost she didn’t give up. It’s a great performance by Newton and a great story full of joy, sorry, and loss. Olanna is also meant to symbolize the trials and tribulations that Nigeria went through during the 1960s. You had a developing and wealthy African country torn apart.<br />C

Didn't always take itself seriously which is the film's saving grace
The head of President Sawyer’s (Jamie Foxx) secret service detail Martin Walker (James Woods) wants revenge against Sawyer for the death of his son. He decides to lead a group of mercenaries into the White House to try to kidnap the president. The only thing standing in his way is police officer John Cale (Channing Tatum) who was interviewing for the secret service that day. Yeah, it’s ridiculous, but that’s Hollywood.<br /><br />There are some light notes to the story which are a good touch. John takes his daughter Emily (Joey King) with him to the job interview because she is a government nut. After she blurts out a bunch of facts John asks her if she gets picked on at school. Another time they run into the president during a tour of the White House. She claims her dad is going to be part of his secret service detail. The president shakes John’s hand, pulls him close and whispers into his ear, “Stop lying to kids.” The humor which keeps up throughout the film saves it from being your routine action flick. That’s especially true for when the shooting starts which sometimes goes over the top. In the end that’s the saving grace of the movie. The tongue in cheek approach shows that it didn’t take itself entirely seriously.

Great stories despite traditional format Why is Basquiat's voice missing though?????
Boom For Real is about the New York City art scene in the late 1970s/early 1980s as much as Jean Michael Basquiat. I usually hate talking head documentaries because they bore me and are so traditional but I enjoyed this because the stories were so interesting. They talk about graffiti, Punk Rock, Hip Hop, bringing black culture to whites in midtown Manhattan, and more. I also dug the art. Plus Fab 5 Freddy and Lee Quinones from Wild Style are two of the main people that got to talk. My main complaint is that they never let Basquiat talk for himself. There are plenty of interviews with him as he got really famous so it’s shocking that he doesn’t get his own voice in this movie.

Prosecuted for challenging the UKs role in the invasion of Iraq
Official Secrets was based upon the true story of British intelligence analyst Katharaine Gun (Keira Knightley) who leaked to the media that the U.S. was spying on diplomats deliberating on a United Nations resolution to authorize the use of force against Iraq in 2003 just before the invasion. Gun was opposed to the war and thought that spying on members of the United Nations Security Council to sway their votes was wrong. The Observer reported her leak and part of the movie is about their work on the story. Gun ended up being prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act hence the title. The film is about her decision, the repercussions within the larger context of the Iraq War.<br /><br />England does not have freedom of the press like the United States. The Official Secrets Act places large limits on what government officials and the media can do and say. For example, Gun couldn’t see a lawyer initially about her case because that’s illegal under the act. It’s this wide ranging law that Gun is up against. The legal case to defend Gun ends up challenging not only the Secrets Act but the war as well, which is the point of the film to question the invasion. The tension therefore comes from what will happen to her.<br />C

God needs to teach Jim Carrey some humility
Jim Carrey as an angry journalist and Morgan Freeman as God? I’m in! Carrey usually ad libs a lot of his scenes and you can tell he did that a lot here when he just starts going off saying thigs like the first time he meets Freeman. Speaking of which Freeman has played God several times and he fits the role perfectly. He’s got the deep voice, the elderly but distinguished look, etc.<br /><br />The point of the story was that Freeman would give Carrey his powers to teach him humility. Of course in the process he does a whole bunch of goofy things like parting his tomato soup like Noah parted the Red Sea or having a monkey come out of a guys butt! It’s just the perfect vehicle for Carrey to show his comedic talents. It’s make for a very fun movie.

Filmed in Arnhem with 1st British Airborne Div survivors right after WWII
Theirs Is The Glory is one of the most famous World War II war films even though it’s not well known. That’s because it was filmed in Arnhem, Netherlands right after the war, using survivors of the British 1st Airborne Division that took part in Operation Market Garden, and employed real German tanks. The story emphasizes the heroism of the British paratroopers who fought against all odds.<br /><br />The movie begins with shots of Arnhem after the war to show the destruction the city suffered as well as some grave markers of the British paratroopers that died there.<br /><br />Things then shift to the battleplan of Operation Market Garden which was to seize three bridges in the Netherlands using airborne forces while a British Corps would push inland and connect them to open up a route to Germany. There’s some archival footage of the preparations and then it gets to the veterans giving some short biographies of some of them.<br /><br />The heart of the film however are the battle scenes within Arnhem. It portrays all of the problems the British ran into such as being dropped six miles away from Arnhem, being cut in two by the Germans, and losing their drop zones. This is also where you get to see the captured German tanks that were used such as a French Char B1 Bis converted into a flame tank, a knocked out King Tiger, two Panther tanks, and a Tiger tank. The movie definitely adds new meaning to realism.

Shows inhumanity of basic training & war but completely dehumanizes the Vietnamese as well
Full Metal Jacket was Stanley Kubrick’s adventure into the Vietnam War. It begins with basic training and then follows a Marine unit in Vietnam. The movie features the dehumanization recruits go through, the horrors of war, but also reduces the Vietnamese to caricatures.<br /><br />The first part of the movie is all about Marine basic training. The system is based upon breaking down the individual through constant physical tests combined with verbal abuse from their drill sergeant Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (Lee Ermey). Private Lawrence (Vincent D’Onofrio) is singled out by the Sergeant for not being physically fit and often being scared and confused. This is the process the military uses to turn ordinary people into killers. It’s not just about getting them physically fit but recalibrating their brains. The process eventually reshapes Lawrence with deadly consequences in one of the famous scenes from the film.<br /><br />The second part of the film shifts to Vietnam and follows Sergeant “Joker” Davis during the 1968 Tet Offensive. It shows the horrors of both sides during the war. On a helicopter flight out into the field a gunner shoots at civilians and brags about it. Then he goes to see civilians who were executed by the North Vietnamese. Kubrick didn’t choose the jungle for his combat sequences but rather a bombed out, destroyed city since that was what the Communists attacked during Tet. Some soldiers talk about how they want to win but in the end their victory is simply surviving the war.<br /><br />The major problem with this half of the movie is that the Vietnamese are completely dehumanized. The first time they’re shown it’s a prostitute asking Joker and his friend if they want to have sex. Then two men steal a camera from Joker’s friend. The next time Vietnamese are seen it’s a prostitute again and a man trying to pimp her out. Why include Vietnamese at all if that’s how they were shown and why was it necessary to have two prostitute scenes? It’s a real mark against what is otherwise considered a classic.<br />C

1 great Bon Scott song with some poor quality footage of Japan concert with Brian Johnson
Hell’s Highway Live is a really short video, just 23 minutes, that includes live performances and one short interview clip of AC/DC.<br /><br />Things start off with High Voltage that was performed on the Australian King of Pop TV show and features original vocalist Bon Scott. All the other tunes, Shot Down In Flames, What Do You Do For Money Honey, You Shook Me All Night Long, T.N.T., and Let There Be Rock were all from a concert in Japan with Brian Johnson singing. The quality of the Japan footage is not that great.<br /><br />Since the film is so short I wish they would’ve picked more of the band’s hits instead of some of the filler like Shot Down In Flames. Still it’s really nice to see Bon Scott in at least one song.<br />C

Seeking enlightenment through sensor deprivation & drugs
Altered States is a metaphysical science-fiction tale featuring John Hurt as the scientist Dr. Eddie Jessup. He is determined to discover God. He tries to achieve that by sensory deprivation and hallucinogenics all in the hopes of enlightenment.<br /><br />The movie really looks like a drug trip many times. That’s because Jessup is constantly seeing visions of all kinds of crazy images. The twist is that Jessup’s experiments end up transforming him which is where the sci-fi part comes in. In fact, you can’t tell whether he’s really changing or just having another bad trip half the time.<br /><br />What’s also funny about the story is that Jessup is a genius completely caught up in his own thoughts. His wife for example wants to talk about serious things and he ignores her and goes off into his own thoughts. He’s a dreamer caught within his own dreams.<br /><br />All together it’s an interesting film.<br />C

Tried to do too much but still funny
I’m a big fan of Zach Galifianakis so when he shows up at the start of the film looking like a total nerd with a wooden door on his car I was in.<br /><br />The story is a comedy-heist flick with Galifianakis being talked into robbing job along with Kristen Wiig and Owen Wilson. Amazingly this was based upon a true story.<br /><br />It’s all low brow humor led by Galifianakis. For instance in one scene he accidentally shoots himself in the butt. He has a great mix of jokes and physical comedy.<br /><br />The problem was that the movie went on too long. They threw in too much stuff as well such as Jason Sudeikis showing up as an assassin in the middle.<br /><br />Despite that it was still a fun ride.

Owen and Roberts together are as good as the 2 companies trying to spy on each other
Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson not only own rival companies but intensely hate each other. They have extensive security networks and spies to undermine each other which is where Clive Owen and Julia Roberts come in as they work for different sides in this competition. The two are great together. Owen has a speech he gives Roberts when he sees her initially about being offended that she doesn’t remember him. She really pulled a fast one on him which is part of her job as a security agent. Their relationship is even better than the two companies going after each other. That’s not to say Giamatti doesn’t have his time to shine as the obsessive CEO who goes on rants. It’s all a lot of fun.

2 best friends split by their warring neighborhoods that leads to a tragedy
Two best friends Marco and Timmy come from different parts of London that have gangs that are at war with each other. Like any kids they’re into hanging out, music, going to parties and especially girls. As the violence escalates however the two teens get stuck in the middle and splits their friendship. The film is a tragedy.<br /><br />The movie is really sad. Marco and Timmy always had their backs growing up and stood up to the gangsters when they got confronted. When things fall apart it’s a shame. It didn’t look like anything would split them apart but their rival communities got the best of them. What happens afterward just gets worse. It provides for a powerful and compelling story.<br /><br />There are many other movies that cover similar stories but this one really hits you in the gut.<br />C

How pointless the Vietnam War was
A small group of American and Vietnamese soldiers are told to set up an outpost in an empty village during the Vietnam War. You can guess where that leads.<br /><br />The first thing that stands out is that both the American and Vietnamese troops try to talk Vietnamese but it’s done so badly you can’t even tell whether it’s Vietnamese or not.<br /><br />Thankfully most of the movie is about the outpost and the fighting. That’s done well, but not great. Most importantly it conveys how pointless the Vietnam War was. It depicts a period when the U.S. were just advising the Vietnamese and that was going nowhere. A general said that only U.S. combat troops could turn the tide but they would end up just like this outpost.

The Transporter became a franchise and this was the result a completely over the top plot. Frank (Jason Statham) is hired by a wealthy Florida family to drive their kid Jack.

Nicole Kidman is a master manipulator to make her dreams come true
This Gus Van Sant film is about ambition and greed. It features Nicole Kidman who is willing to do anything to make herself a TV star including murder. She manipulates everyone around her from her husband Matt Dillon to two teens Joaquin Phoenix and Alison Folland to her boss Wayne Knights. The film has a surreal feel to it due to Kidman’s character. She always tries to be charming and determined but you can tell she’s fake at the same time. She dominates the movie and every scene she’s in. Phoenix and Folland play teens well because they look and act like real high school kids. The film really pushes the excesses and draw of celebrity.

Batman find shimself in a horror story
Batman vs Dracula plays out like a horror cartoon. It is dark and moody throughout. The Joker looks and acts insane. Dracula starts off like a blood thirsty troll. It’s definitely not your usual Batman cartoon flick and I like it because of that.

Modern exploitation at its finest
The Piranha films were modern exploitation at their best. Of course you had the hungry fish eating people up and leading to all kinds of bites and blood. Then you had the gratuitous sex. The added bonus of 3DD was that it didn’t take itself seriously. Thus you had David Koechner doing all kinds of ridiculous things like hiring strippers to work at his water park. It really hit on all cylinders. The funny parts were good and the gore was great especially with one scene involving a piranha and a couple having sex.

Could not keep my attention
This movie could not keep my attention. It begins with James Coburn’s daughter Virginia Madsen being killed in a stick up and Coburn trying to find out who committed the crime by tracking the history of the gun. It goes through how guns are distributed throughout the United States from gun shows to the black market. The pace was just so low and the flashbacks were filmed with a video camera to give it a different look than the rest of the movie but it just reflected the lack of money behind this film. There simply wasn’t enough going on in the plot to make it interesting. Even the end which is the film’s comment upon gun violence couldn’t save it.

Pierce Brosnan is an old jaded spy in the middle of things
Everyone is looking for dirt on the next president of Russia. Former CIA agent Pierce Brosnan is in the middle of things being hunted by his former friends along with the Russians. The film has a good mix of intrigue and action. Most of the movie it’s unclear what people are looking for and who is who and that draws you in to see what’s going on. The action is short and sweet and Brosnan has an attitude which is another plus. Olga Kurylenko is also part of the cast and I always enjoy her.

A man with power and another willing to sell his soul to get some of it
This is a classic Film Noir showing the underside of newspapers featuring Burt Lancaster as a columnist in New York City who uses his power in the press to destroy those he doesn’t like. Tony Curtis is caught up the gossip game trying to win the ear of Lancaster in the hope of just getting whiff of his prestige. Curtis would sell his soul if there was a buyer. The movie was filmed on location in New York City and it’s everywhere. It’s as much a character in the film as Lancaster. Sins of the city has always been a mainstay of Noir and here that couldn’t be more clear. The story actually gets better as it progresses and Lancaster and Curtis get slimier as well.

The streets and fatherhood or the lack thereof
South Central is about generations in gangs in Los Angeles. Glenn Plummer was in a gang and his son Christian Coleman follows in his footsteps. The dilemma is obviously about whether the two can save themselves and each other. It’s a well done story about the streets and fatherhood or the lack thereof. The emphasis upon father and son gives the typical gang story a new twist.

Struggle for power and religion is never ending in the world of Vikings
Although Season 5 of Vikings was broken down into separate stories they were all about the core ideas that the series had been about since the beginning. Those were a struggle for power and the battle between the Norse gods and Christianity. Of the main characters Ivar was by far the most interesting because it showed just how crazy he was. On the other hand, King Alfred was the tamest as he was young and inexperienced and really not that interesting. His mother and brother were much better. As usual there were two massive and impressive battle scenes.

Fantastic comedy on Japanese food culture
Tampopo released in 1985 showed that the Japanese were far ahead of most of the world in loving food.<br /><br />The film is based upon a single mom, Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto) who runs a small ramen shop who is struggling because her noodles aren’t that good. Two truck drivers, Goro (Tsutomu Yamazaki) and Gun (Ken Watanabe) stumble across her business and decide to mentor her on how to make a perfect bowl of ramen. That requires her to go to other businesses to compare their products, and go to a series of masters that even includes an old homeless man to learn the trade. Many of these situations are hilarious such as when she goes to one ramen shop and goes over everything they do wrong.<br /><br />You would never know that was the movie however because it starts with a gangster and his girlfriend at the movies complaining about audiences making too much noise. They return throughout the movie along with other small snippets that include side stories. Again, these are rather funny such as when a group of businessmen go to a French restaurant. They don’t know what to order so after the boss makes his decision, all the others order the exact same thing except for a really nerdy guy who knows French and makes a very detailed list of all the food he wants. The scene then switches to an etiquette teacher who tells her students not to slurp when eating pasta. However, then a western man in the restaurant starts slurping the whole class follows his lead and slurps away.<br /><br />You also get the foodie moments. The second scene for example has Gun eating ramen with an expert who goes over how to truly appreciate a bowl of soup. In another Goro puts Tampopo through basic training on how to make ramen. She has to lift and move a bucket full of water back and forth in her kitchen. She has to fill a table full of bowls in a set amount of time, etc.<br /><br />The movie is bizarre at times, highly comedic, and a fantastic food film all wrapped in one. I’ve seen it several times over the years and it never gets old.<br />C

Most disappointing Wes Anderson movie Story falls flat and comedy doens't work
Three brothers Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman re-unite on a train in India. The movie is the most disappointing of Wes Anderson’s releases because it’s not funny. Instead its more of a drama about the relationship between the three brothers and their bonding during their trip. Yes it has Anderson’s quirky style, and yes it has his love of music, sets and colors, but any attempts at comedy fall flat.

Light hearted tale of a small Japanese neighborhood
Director Yasujiro Ozu was one of the great Japanese directors in the postwar era. He emphasized human stories of the common people. Good Morning focuses upon a small and close knit community. It deals with the kids who are obsessed with watching the one TV in the neighborhood and the women who all gossip about each other. There are two cute brothers who go silent with their parents until they get a TV. There’s a mother and daughter who are always arguing with the latter telling her mother to go die one time. There’s also a running joke about farting. It’s a very light hearted tale.

Satire of the buddy cop film genre
Hot Fuzz saw the trio of writer director Edgar Wright, actor and co-writer Simon Pegg as Police Constable Nicholas Angel and actor Nick Frost as Police Constable Danny Butterman united once again. They first worked together on Shaun of the Dead and this movie takes a lot of the elements from that film and applies it to this one which is a satire of the odd couple-buddy cop film. Angel is an overzealous officer and Butterman is a screw up. The situation is made worse by Angel being assigned to a small rural town instead of staying in London as he wanted. Angel and Butterman are paired together and comedy is the result.<br /><br />Poking fun at the police genre begins with Angel being assigned to the small town of Standford. To say he’s unhappy is an understatement. He asks to see the supervisor who walks right in. Then the superintendent who is right at the door, and then wants to know what the team thinks about him being transferred. The office already has a goodbye party ready for him.<br /><br />There’s also plenty of witty dialogue. When Angel shows up at the inn he’s staying at in Standford the desk woman calls him a fascist. It turns out she’s doing a crossword puzzle. Then he calls her a hag, but again, it was part of the puzzle.<br /><br />Of course just sticking to community policing in a small town where the biggest crimes are kids shoplifting and speeding tickets wouldn’t be enough to maintain the full length of movie therefore a serial killer is introduced to spice things up.<br /><br />It’s all good fun and if you liked their first effort Shaun of the Dead you’ll like their second Hot Fuzz.<br />C

Magical black man Will Smith saves white golfer Matt Damon
The Legend of Bagger Vance is about a childhood dream of a local hero. When J. Michael Moncrief was a child his favorite golfer was Matt Damon. He lost himself during World War I and stopped playing until Moncrief pleaded with him to compete in a tournament to stand up for Savannah, Georgia. Will Smith shows up out of nowhere to show Damon how to play golf again. This has been termed “The magical negro” by Spike Lee when a black man appears and helps out white people like in stories such as The Green Mile and Bagger Vance. That’s literally what this entire movie is about. The good parts of the movie are actually the dreams of Moncrief and Charlize Theron who owns the golf course making some wisecracks. The golf isn’t bad either even though you know how it’s going to end.

Gregory Peck's character is unlikeable
Gregory Peck is a British fighter bomber pilot in Burma during World War II who suffers from PTSD. He disregards people and orders. Like most war movies of this time he’s saved by a woman, Win Min Than. The romance parts are pure melodrama that I could skip through. The second half is much better as Peck and two other airmen crash land in the jungle and have to survive. This is a strange movie overall because it’s almost impossible to like Peck’s character even after he starts acting better with Than around. Yes, he becomes a hero in the end but still he’s so unlikeable at first. The survival bit is the real draw but I don’t think it’s enough to make this movie really a worthwhile watch.

What if Superman was a sociopath? Hopefully that story would be better than this movie
What if Superman had landed in Kansas and been a sociopath? That’s the basis of Brightburn that was the brainchild of the Gunn family. James Gunn of Marvel fame produced the film while his brother Brian and cousin Mark wrote the transcript.<br /><br />A child named Brandon crashed landed near a farm owned by Tori and Kyle who took him in and raised them as their own. They loved him, but when he hit puberty he began being impulsive and hurting people. That only got worse.<br /><br />The parallels to Superman are everywhere in the film. The ship crashing and the baby, the human parents raising him, the kid flies, wears a cape and even has laser vision. These are all trademarks of the Superman origins story. The main difference besides Brandon being a sociopath is that there is a lot of blood and guts thrown in as well.<br /><br />In the end, the film is neither original nor compelling.<br />C

Very smart horror mystery film that leaves the viewer wondering at the end
Silent Hill was a very interesting horror film. That was because of its story, which was very ingenious. This was surprising because the movie was based upon a video game, usually not the formula for a successful plot.<br /><br />The film features Radha Mitchell as Rose Da Silva a mother who loses her adopted daughter Jodelle Ferland as Sharon in Silent Hill, West Virginia, a community that had been abandoned after a natural gas disaster. She runs into Lauri Holden as Officer Cybil Bennett who at first suspects Mitchell of kidnapping Ferland, but then tries to help her in Silent Hill. Sean Bean as Christopher Da Silva the father gets cut off from his family and works with Kim Coates as Police Officer Thomas Gucci to try to find them. That split between the mother Mitchell and the father Bean is actually foreshadowing of what happens later in the film.<br /><br />Silent Hill succeeds on several levels. First, the monsters are great and creepy. The story slowly unravels and the ending leaves viewers wondering what happened. Very unusual for a horror film, especially one based upon a video game. So you get the creeps and a mystery.<br />C

Pales in comparison to 1st 2 Matrix films
How do so many movie franchises die? By releasing a bad third movie. Such was the fate of the Matrix series when it came out with Revolutions.<br /><br />You wouldn’t know that at first as the movie has all the looks and action of the previous movies. Then it gets into the machines’ attack upon Zion and it went downhill from there. It turns into a bunch of CGI sentinels spinning around. I’ve always thought they looked like a bunch of mechanical sperm. I wasn’t too happy with the big climax confrontation between Neo and Agent Smith either. All the themes about control and free will that drove the first two Matrixes also disappeared from the script.<br /><br />It’s definitely not as good as the first two Matrix movies however.

The Spanish Prisoner is a movie full of holes. It revolves around Campbell Scott who is working on some secret project which is never explained.

Story of female empowerment undermined by a dud of a villain
Making a solo Harley Quinn/Margot Robbie movie seemed like a no brainer. She’s a psychopath with a big personality. The start of the movie is about her trying to be an independent woman. She even hooks up with a group of other women and a little girl. The female empowerment is great and Robbie really personifies the Quinn character. The problem is the villain played by Ewan McGregor. There’s nothing really bad about him. He’s just a ruthless businessman who’s willing to kill to make money. Big deal! Without a classic villain these superhero movies don’t really work. That means whenever McGregor is on screen the movie drops off. It’s still a fun watch but it could’ve been so much better with a real bad guy.

Goes from completely derrivative to interesting
This movie really rips off Starship Trooper. 1st the Earth has given up democracy for world government. The army wears gray uniforms with domed hats that are EXACTLY the same as Starship Trooper. Despite that rough start the movie actually grew on me. The story is about Gary Sinise being hunted down by the government. There’s a lot of chasing and action and a double twist at the end that I liked.

Short yet interesting look at Camus
Camus is a drama based upon a biography of famed French author and philosopher Albert Camus. The movie covers not only his writings but politics, and the women in his life. It presents him as a complicated man. He constantly cheated on his wife. He questioned his writing and was deeply offended by criticism. He was wrapped up in the Algerian war for independence as he was born and raised there.<br /><br />First there’s Camus’ writing. It shows him as a deeply frustrated writer. He went years without releasing anything. In one scene he said he wasn’t a writer anymore because he wasn’t inspired by anything. He took criticism personally. At one point he comes out with a new book and Jean Paul-Satre savages him which throws Camus into a rage. He wins the Nobel Prize for Literature and says he won’t accept it because he wasn’t worthy. The movie portrays him as a man who was never happy and often angry at himself.<br /><br />Algeria is another issue. The war for independence had begun and he was worried about his mother who still lived there as well as France’s stance. He was afraid of the hatred and radicalization that was happening on the both the French and Algerian sides. He spoke against terror and terrorism. At the same time he didn’t believe Algeria should become its own country. Again he was a complicated man and not one that could easily be pigeonholed.<br /><br />In terms of women things start with his mom. He brags about how his mother brought him up with class consciousness and there was a dignity in not having a lot. His wife on the other hand had a mental breakdown because he cheated on her. She loved him so much and stood up for his work and he repaid her by going from one woman to another. Camus was a renowned thinker but his libido ran a large part of his life. His ideas about humanity were obviously separate from how he would treat his own wife.<br /><br />Overall this is a short yet interesting look at Camus.

Great moody murder mystery based around Jack The Ripper
From Hell was a 2001 adaptation of a graphic novel by the Hughes Brothers. It featured Johnny Depp as Scotland Yard Inspector Frederick Abberline, Heather Graham as a prostitute named Mary Kelly, Robbie Coltrane as Sergeant Peter Godley, and Ian Holm as Sir William Gull. The movie was a murder mystery police procedural surrounding the story of Jack the Ripper the English serial killer in the 1800s. It took that source material and turned it into one about secret societies, the British upper class and their privileges and excesses. The basic theme was that the rich’s wealth allowed them to do as they pleased including commit horrible crimes and cover it up.<br /><br />The Hughes Brothers did a great job creating the mood of the film. It begins with Mary Kelly and her friends who are prostitutes working the streets of London. There are gangs threatening them, they have to pay to sleep on benches because they have no homes, etc. They represent the lower class who were the majority in the country at that time. Most of the story takes place in their milieu. That’s contrasted to the rich who become concerned about the murders, but just want it all hushed up. Inspector Abberline’s boss for example wants to blame foreigners or the Jews for the murders and be done with it. Those all play on society’s fears and racism.<br /><br />The mystery begins as Mary Kelly and her friends become the targets of Jack The Ripper. This is where the movie moves into a police procedural-mystery as Abberline is very meticulous and takes the murders as more than just a whore being gutted on the streets, which was actually a common occurrence back then. He finds out far more than he plans for as the path leads to the upper class.<br /><br />The movie is a great exploration into the legend of Jack The Ripper one of the most infamous mass murderers. It creates a real sense of evil with the killings.<br />C

A story of families and race
There are two themes to Losing Isaiah. One is about families whether they be functional or dysfunctional and the other is about race. Jessica Lange adopts a black baby Marc John Jeffries who was abandoned by his mother Halle Berry who was a drug addict. The first part of the story contrasts the middle class life that Jeffries grew up in and the one of poverty that Berry was in. Then they go to court over who will have custody of Jeffries and both sides play the race card. Can a black boy be raised by a white family? Are poor black mothers capable of raising their children? The movie could have gone into a lot of wrong directions but I think it ended on a humanistic note which I appreciated.

From a star to a tragedy in this outstanding sports film
The Express is a biography of star football player Ernie Davis. He was the first African American to win the Heisman Trophy in 1961. He had a heavy burden on his shoulders. He played for Syracuse and was given the same number as Jim Brown just a few years after he left to play pro. His grandfather played by Charles Dutton wanted him to not only be the best football player but the best student. Finally he had to deal with racism and the expectations of the Civil Rights Movement. For instance when Syracuse went to play for a bowl game and the national championship Davis and the few other black players couldn’t stay with the rest of the team because the hotel was segregated. He would suffer worse indignities.<br /><br />It stars Rob Brown who I’ve always liked since his debut in Finding Forrester. He plays a convincing football player and the game sequences are well choreographed. More importantly he goes through a transformation from someone that was just interested in football to someone who spoke his mind. The movie also didn’t stop at his football career but also covered what happened to him afterward which was a real tragedy.

X-File fans were looking for answers but just got another chapter in the alien story
The X-Files was a TV phenomenon in the 1990s. The stories about aliens especially caught people’s imaginations along with the fact that the series always hinted at what was going on, but never fully explained anything. The film included all of the main characters from the TV show including FBI agents Mulder and Scully, FBI Assistant Director Skinner, the Cigarette Smoking Man and others. The movie X-Files then was high anticipated, and fans were hoping for some answers, but only got more questions.<br /><br />X-Files begins with aliens visiting the Earth during the Ice Age and introducing the living black liquid which was a mainstay of the show. Things then flash to the present as a kid is infected by the black ooze and brings in a secret government organization. Back at the FBI, Mulder is told that a bombing at a government building in Texas was done on purpose to hide something. These two stories run parallel to each other until they converge at the end.<br /><br />Along the way many new pieces of evidence are revealed about the secret group of powerful people the Cigarette Man works for and their knowledge of the aliens. At the same time, nothing is resolved. That made the film just another chapter in the ongoing X-Files story that continued with the TV show. That means you can enjoy it because it was just like the original source material or you might get frustrated because you didn’t get the answers that you were hoping for from a full length feature on Mulder and Scully.<br />C

Great start then gets overblown
The Last Knight is about legacy and redemption. Cybertron was destroyed in the war between Autobots and Decepticons and now all the robots were being hunted into extinction on Earth. Mark Wahlberg and new comer Isabel Merced are tasked with finding a staff that will revive the race of Transformers. In doing so the movie goes into the Transformers mythology as more information is given about their origins and Cybertron.<br /><br />The film comes with all the elements we’ve come to expect from the Transformers and Michael Bay. Lots of military hardware, giant robots, big explosions, copious expenditures of ammunition, wisecracks, and pretty women. I have to admit when I saw this when it came out in a movie theater I wasn’t that impressed. I’ve seen it several times since then and it’s really grown on me. I especially liked the jokes which were prominent at the start. On the other hand, I thought the part with Anthony Hopkins linking the Autobots to the Knights of the Roundtable was overdone. The climax was overblown as well but I did like the special effects of Cybertron appearing.<br /><br />In the end Last Knight is a bit of a mixed bag. The first part of the film is great and very funny. Then it tries to do too much some of which works and some does not. I still thought it was worthwhile to watch again.
