There's a reason why no one talks about this Denzel film
Ricochet is one of those early Denzel Washington films that is forgotten. He plays Los Angeles police officer Nicholas Styles. The plot is about a personal struggle of revenge by a criminal named Earl Blake (John Lithgow) that Styles arrests at the start of the film.<br /><br />The first thing you notice is that there’s a reason why people don’t talk about Ricochet. Styles has a standoff with Blake after he’s committed a murder. Styles strips down to his underwear and then pulls a gun out of jock strap and shoots Blake from a behind the back shot. Then when Blake is in prison he has a death match with his cellmate put on by the Aryan Brotherhood. You see this stuff and just shake your head it’s so bad.<br /><br />On the other hand, Denzel does get to play both his charming and tough self, which is always a joy.<br /><br />Unfortunately the movie was never able to recover from that poor start as scene after scene was unbelievable.<br />C

The original Japanese verison of Godzilla is still a masterpiece
I’ve wanted to see this movie for so long but it wasn’t available to me. This is the original Japanese version of Godzilla. There’s no Raymond Burr and Japanese American actors.<br /><br />The first thing that stands out is that it doesn’t emphasize the anti-nuclear message of the U.S. version initially. Instead, it talks about Godzilla being a monster from folklore that had terrorized Japan for decades. An old man for instance talks about how his village used to sacrifice a girl to Godzilla. When the big guy shows up his appearance is blamed upon repeated nuclear testing which drove it out of its lair deep at the bottom of the ocean to land. This was a theme that resonated in Japan as the only nation to be hit with two nuclear bombs.<br /><br />The movie still stands out as a turning point in cinema. It took what King Kong did in the 1930s with the stop action animation and updated it with a man in a giant rubber Godzilla suit. It would go on to create a whole genre of Kaiju films in Japan which are still being made today and has spread to America with the new Godzilla franchise.

Major secret revealed & unexpected twist makes this one of the best Harry Potter films
After skipping a beat with The Order Of The Phoenix, The Half Blood Prince returned to the dark mood which was established with The Prisoner Of Azkaban. Mixed in with that was a lot of tension between the major players Potter, Hermione, and Ron as they finally discovered who they liked. Most importantly with the series winding down they revealed a major secret about Voldemort that leads to a hugely unexpected twist in the story. It’s easily one of the best Potter movies.

None of the characters are good people but the movie totally draws you in
I, Tonya is a biopic of infamous skater Tonya Harding/Margot Robbie. Her mother excellently played by Allison Janney is a foul mouthed, abusive parent who endlessly pushed her daughter about skating and nothing else. They have a completely dysfunctional relationship. Sebastian Stan was no better as her husband who beat her. It also portrays Harding as the black sheep of the American skating association because of her attitude and how she was seen as not being the perfect princess they wanted all of their women skaters to be. Basically, it paints Tonya as having a completely messed up life. It’s not meant to excuse Harding but explain her and it provides a compelling story.<br /><br />Janney actually walks away with every scene she’s in. She is just so mean. She had the perfect lines to constantly put down Robbie at every turn. Robbie does a great job as well. She goes through so much and never acts like the victim. In fact, she’s often defiant. That’s the major strength of the movie. None of the characters are good people but you’re still totally drawn in by them.<br /><br />I like the story telling technique the film used. It intersperses interviews with the main characters with the traditional story. Then sometimes during a scene a character will look into the camera and talk directly to the audience.

All the usual elements of a Zatoichi flick but still fun to watch
The original Zatoichi series had almost finished its run when Zatoichi in Desperation came out in 1972. There would only be one more film.<br /><br />The movie had an unusual start as Zatoichi runs into a woman on a bridge who offers him some advice about where to go. In return, he tries to give her some money, but then she slips and falls off the bridge. Faced with this tragedy, Zatoichi goes looking for the woman’s daughter who works in a brothel. This is your typical Zatoichi situation where he finds someone downtrodden who is need of redemption.<br /><br />Of course, there has to be a bad guy, which comes in the form of the local Yakuza boss who terrorizes the locals. He also employs a ronin, a masterless samurai, who will of course have a confrontation with Zatoichi. They threw in another little twist because Zatoichi actually gets severely wounded while confronting the gangsters.<br /><br />Overall, another good release in the series showing that although every movie always had the same situations they were still fun to watch.<br />C

A 70s classic about breaking boundaries
Harold and Maude is about an unlikely relationship between a young man and a much older woman. It’s all about breaking boundaries and has a feel of the Counterculture of the 1960s/70s. Harold/Bud Cort comes from an exceedingly wealthy family. He’s completely unhappy with his life and desperately wants attention. He pretends to kill himself all the time to try to get some reaction from his mother but she just ignores him. Maude/Ruth Gordon has a heart of a young woman. She likes stealing cars and speeding for instance. Cort’s death theatrics are hilarious, just as Maude’s antics are. Vivian Pickles as Harold’s overbearing mother is great as well. It all makes for a great dark comedy that would never be made today.

How a relationship fell apart
This movie is about how the relationship between Gary Oldman and Alfred Molina changed over time and became dysfunctional. Oldman and Molina are fantastic. One was young, one was old. One was cultured, the other a novice. One was confident, the other neurotic. It’s easy to say that fame destroyed them but they might’ve been doomed from the start. The movie also explores gay London in the 1960s when homosexuality was illegal. It shows both the thrill and danger that involved. All around an excellent film driven by the two leads.

Multifaceted story on how a deadly global pandemic starts & spreads & how public and govt responds
Before the coronavirus pandemic there was the swine flu, Ebola, SARS, and others. Those influenced the story of Contagion where a deadly virus quickly spreads across the world with deadly consequences. The film deals with the outbreak at all different levels. There’s how the virus is easily transmitted through day to day activities like touching credit cards or being near someone who coughs. There’s the panic that sets in amongst the public and the people and families that try to stay healthy. There are the health officials working in the labs and out in the field trying to save people and find a cure. There are those that attempt to exploit the situation for their own personal gain. It’s because of all these interrelated stories that makes Contagion so gripping and especially relevant today with the current coronavirus spreading across the world.<br /><br />Contagion has a large ensemble cast to cover all the different storylines. Things start with Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) who was one of the first to be infected in Hong Kong. She dies when she returns home to Minneapolis. Next her son Clark dies leaving behind the father Mitch (Matt Damon) and daughter Jory (Anna Jacoby-Heron). She spreads the disease to various people around the world which is the first plot of how pandemics begin and are easily transmitted through populations. Mitch and Jory’s life in Minneapolis is then followed to show how the general public reacts to these situations with a mixture of fear, panic, and violence as law and order breaks down.<br /><br />Next is Dr. Leonora Oranes (Marion Cotillard) of the World Health Organization in Hong Kong and Dr. Erin Mears (Kate Winslet) of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) who is sent to Minneapolis. They represent the health workers out in the field who are sent to investigate the outbreaks and relay information back to their organizations who try to contain the spread and work on a cure. As they find out local officials are usually slow to react to these outbreaks worrying about how the public will react, what will happen to their cities and economies. They unwittingly help the virus spread. There is a very effective scene where Mears meets with local officials and tries to explain how the virus will spread, and they respond by saying no one knows what the virus is and they don’t want to spread fear.<br /><br />Dr. Mears boss is Dr. Ellis Cheever (Laurence Fishburne). He directs the field work and the research in the laboratory to find an antidote. Some of that is done independently by Dr. Ian Sussman (Elliott Gould) at University of California and Dr. Ally Hextall (Jennifer Ehle) of the CDC. Cheever represents the government bureaucrats at the top who have to deal with pressure from the White House and politicians while seeing the bigger picture of how quickly the virus spreads and the human toll it takes. He along with Drs Hextall and Sussman also provide the procedural part of the movie as they tirelessly work in the lab going through test after test after test trying to find something that will counter the virus.<br /><br />Alan Krumwiede (Jude Law) is a blogger who early on discovers the stories about the virus and tries to exploit it. First he sensationalizes the outbreak, then he claims that he has a cure. Tragedies always attract profiteers and conspiracy theorists. Krumwiede combines both.<br /><br />Steven Soderbergh directed the film. He’s always been known for very smart releases like the Ocean’s Eleven trilogy. Here he delivered again with a very intelligent and multi-faceted portrayal of how epidemics start, spread, effect populations, and how people and the government try to respond.<br />C

Powerful movie about the limits placed on women in 1950s America
Crime of Passion is about whether women could break out of the role of housewife that America created for them. It features Barbara Stanwyck as a popular columnist in San Francisco who gives up her career for a cop played by Sterling Hayden.<br /><br />The movie is full of messages for women such as when Royal Dano tells Stanwick she should be raising a family and making dinner for her husband. On the other hand, Stanwyck writes a column which says that women are often betrayed by their men who write all the rules for society. Another time she tells Hayden that she thinks of marriage as akin to a life sentence and she wanted something more than that. This was some powerful stuff for 1957 America.<br /><br />It continues in that vein when Stanwyck gets married. There’s one scene where she’s having a party with other policemen and their wives and she gets sick because of the atmosphere and the people are so stifling. Being a Film Noir you can guess how things turn out.<br /><br />It all makes for a very interesting movie which really went against the status quo in the 1950s when white America was supposed to be living the dream in the suburbs with the nuclear family. Crime of Passion really highlighted the limits this had for women.

Movie is more about Willard being beaten down by life than the rats
Willard was a 1971 horror film about a loner named Willard (Bruce Davison). He’s pestered at work and has to take care of his aging mother at home. His only friends are rats which he trains. When things start going wrong he unleashes his rats upon people. There’s a twist at the end however.<br /><br />In terms of horror or thriller Willard is pretty tame. Yes there are scenes with some rats but that’s about it in terms of shocking an audience. The story is really about Willard being beaten down by life and how he couldn’t escape that fate. It proves to be a big letdown.<br />C

Struggles of trying to make it in the comedy business
2 Minutes of Fame is about an aspiring comedian played by Jay Pharoah who challenges a huge star played by Katt Williams. The focus is upon stand up comedy. That’s because a lot of the movie is about Pharaoh working on his routine and takes place in comedy clubs with him and others doing jokes. It gives a brief look at the struggles of trying to make it in the business. Williams’ character is actually better than Pharaoh’s. Williams goes from being mad at the challenge Pharaoh poses to him to trying to be a mentor to the young up and comer. The story becomes like a coming of age story which is actually fitting because Pharoah’s character is immature.

Some VERY fast and original action scenes
If the start of this movie doesn’t catch your attention nothing will! It’s shocking and gruesome and yet interesting. The opening reveals the plot but it takes a while to figure it out. It’s got to do with assassins, cops and a sense of honor. There are some action scenes which are VERY fast and excellently choreographed. I don’t think I’ve seen such speed before. They’re also original such as a man killed by a soda can and another by a toothbrush. Masanori Mimoto is the star. He’s very quiet and intense.

The original Street Fighter and the best in the franchise
Street Fighter was released in 1974 by the Toei Company and put Sonny Chiba on the map in the U.S. People who went to the matinees on the weekend to see a slew of martial arts films fell in love. That was despite being rated X for its violence, which by today’s standards is really nothing.<br /><br />The story focuses upon Chiba as Terry Surgury a martial arts expert and his sidekick Rakuda (Goichi Yamada). Terry begins by visiting a condemned killer named Junjo (Masashi Ishibashi) on the day of his execution and helps him escape. Terry was paid by Junjo’s sister and brother. Those three get into an argument over money afterward leading to the brother’s death. Junjo will seek revenge for that affront, which plays out at the end of the film.<br /><br />A second story then begins as some Chinese gangsters want to hire Terry to kidnap a rich heiress named Sarai (Yutaka Nakajima). Instead he decides to protect her, but first he has to prove himself to her uncle Kendo Masaoka (Masafumi Suzuki) who is a Karate master. The gangsters hire Junjo to take care of Terry linking the two tales together. The writing surprisingly stands up and is better than a lot of Street Fighters’ Hong Kong competition and contemporaries.<br /><br />Masaoka also reveals Terry’s background. He was the Chinese-Japanese son of a Japanese soldier stationed in China during World War II who wanted to mix Chinese and Japanese martial arts into a new style. He was executed by the army, but not before telling Terry to not trust anyone and become the greatest fighter he could be.<br /><br />Obviously, the real center of the film was the fighting. There’s plenty of that. Right from the start Terry gets into a tussle with Junjo, then his siblings, then the gangsters, followed by Masaoka’s students and then Masaoka himself, and then some killers like a blind guy with a sword which was an obvious take off of Zatoichi the blind swordsman before the climax with Junjo. Terry had his own style with lots of heavy breathing and flexing of his muscles before he would strike, which sometimes gets a bit funny. The fights are generally well choreographed. Terry also had a tendency to force a kiss upon all the ladies he met such as Junjo’s sister and Sarai.<br /><br />Of course, the success of Street Fighter led to a huge number of sequels, which were a mixed bag. This one is the original and the best of the franchise.<br />C

You never know who you're dealing with when it comes to spying
Robert Redford runs a security company that’s blackmailed into spying on a scientist. They find out they got into more than they were expecting in this political-espionage thriller. As usual with this type of story there are twists and turns and betrayal. There’s some light hearted moments as well mostly provided by Dan Aykroyd who is part of Redford’s team. He loves conspiracy theories and puts them past Sidney Poitier who is always annoyed by him. The story also has an anti-establishment theme to it about not trusting the government and official secrets as well.

Humphrey Bogart the war hero vs Edward G. Robinson the gangster
Humphrey Bogart goes to Florida to see the father of his dead war comrade only to find himself held prisoner by a bunch of gangsters led by Edward G. Robinson.<br /><br />Key Largo is another classic pairing of Bogart and Lauren Becall this time directed by John Huston. Becall is only a supporting character here as the movie really revolves around Robinson and Bogart. Huston adds to that by slowly building up tension starting with Robinson taking them hostage and then a hurricane approaching. It makes for a very interesting crime drama.

Adds some variations to the usual zombie story
The film takes place in a post-apocalyptic America where most of the population has turned into zombies. The story focuses upon three people made up of Jack (Jeffrey Donovan), Patrick (Matthew Fox) and Lu (Quinn McColgan) the daughter. Jack and Lu live in one house while Patrick lives next door. Jack refuses to allow Patrick to talk to Lu. They might be the last three people left in the world which is now frozen. Of course what kind of movie would that be if that were true. You know there’s going to run into survivors living and otherwise.<br /><br />Extinction isn’t your usual zombie movie. That’s because a lot of it is dealing with Jack, Patrick and Lu like a dysfunctional family. Thankfully it doesn’t turn into a melodrama.<br /><br />The zombies also have a twist to them as they have adapted to the winter and are more like animals. When they finally show up it gets pretty intense.<br /><br />All together that makes this a nice addition to the zombie genre.<br />C

So routine it even gets boring at times
The story is about the FBI handling three cases at the same time. I have to say none of them stood out. In fact, the entire movie was rather routine and even got boring at times. There were only two things that I really remembered. First was the voice over that reminded me of the opening to the TV show Dragnet and had the same purpose to laude the work of the Bureau and their ability to fight crime. Second was the use of the Hollywood sign in the climax.

Better than original which was a trainwreck but still not a compelling story
I literally didn’t even know Spike Lee made this movie until very recently. It was a remake of a very strange and arty black Vampire movie called Ganja & Hess. The two movies share the same trait of not being scary despite being horror films.<br /><br />The movie begins with a Lee trademark of highlighting New York City. A dancer begins his routine on top of a New York Knicks logo on a basketball court. Then there’s the Statue of Liberty behind him, and the One World building, and then other backgrounds form the city.<br /><br />The story sticks pretty closely to Ganja & Hess. It starts with Dr. Hess Greene (Stephen Tyrone Williams) being stabbed by his assistant with a cursed African dagger which makes him thirst for blood. He then has to find it. It then takes a twist as his assistants ex-wife Ganja (Zaraah Abrahams) shows up and they start a relationship. This was one of the main downfalls of the original. If it had stuck to the doctor’s quest for blood it would have stayed within the horror genre but it turns into a love story instead and the conflict that causes with the doctor because now he’s a killer in a romance. Just like the original as well it’s never able to bring those two topics together into an interesting story.<br /><br />Ganja and Hess was a wreck of a movie.

A lot of it's predictable but Jeff Bridges & Karen Allen are great
I thought I knew all of John Carpenter’s films but apparently I didn’t when I found out about Starman. It’s not like any other movie he made. That’s because it’s an alien romance as Jeff Bridges is an alien who takes on the form of Karen Allen’s dead husband. The two have to adapt to each other but then predictably she falls for him. There’s a good bit of comedy thrown in with common tropes about aliens not understanding Earth customs and language. There’s also the theme of the government seeing aliens as a threat. While those are very predictable it was still an enjoyable movie. Bridges and Allen both give strong performances and that’s really the reason to watch the movie.

Unconventional love story between an assassin and a little girl
The Professional is about a hitman named Leon (Jean Reno) who finds himself in an uncomfortable situation having to raise a pre-teen girl Mathilda (Natali Portman). Leon ends up taking her in after her family is massacred by a crooked DEA agent Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman).<br /><br />The combination of Leon and Mathilda make for one of the classic old couple stories in cinema. They have plenty of fun with it as well. For instance, like when Mathilda tells their apartment manager that she’s Leon’s lover. There are also crazy points like when Leo shows Mathilda how to use a sniper rifle because she wants to get revenge for the murder of her family. There are some iconic images created in these scenes such as when Mathilda asks Leo to let her into his apartment after her family is killed. She’s begging him and crying in a very emotional moment.<br /><br />Oldman also has one of his best roles. He plays the DEA agent as a loon. For instance he guns down Mathilda’s family and then talks about his love of classical music. It makes Stansfield a really scary character.<br /><br />Portman also brought emotion to her character and showed Mathilda to be a tortured soul. She was abused by her family and then goes through the trauma of losing them.<br /><br />Of course there’s plenty of action as well and the ending is fantastic.<br /><br />It’s really a standout movie.<br />C

If you love food you'll love Ratatouille
Ratatouille might be my all time favorite film by Pixar and that’s saying a lot. It’s about how food can bring people and in this case rats together. That seems like a disgusting mix but the movie makes it happen. As a food lover I adore this film.<br /><br />The theme is laid out in the opening scene as a famous French chef Auguste Gusteau released a cookbook called Anyone Can Cook. This is the basic idea of the film. Anyone that loves food can make it. In this case it means both humans and rats.<br /><br />Next up is the main character Remy a French rat who has a highly developed sense of taste, smell and loves eating and cooking. That meant he was fascinated with humans and what they did with food. He watches Gusteau’s cooking show in a woman’s house and even reads his book. Here the film explains the beauty of food such as when Remy talks about things like mixing flavors together and how it made him feel. You can feel Remy’s joy. It also sets up the conflict between humans and rats. People obviously don’t want rats trying to cook in their kitchens like Remy likes to do.<br /><br />The heart of the movie is about Remy meeting up with Alfredo who works at Gusteau’s restaurant. He has no idea what he’s doing, but Remy finds out that he can control Alfredo’s body and therefore Remy can become the chef he’s always wanted to be. Here you get to see the different jobs of the different chefs in a restaurant. There’s the discrimination against female cooks. There’s the critics. Most importantly you just get to see the joy of cooking. This will also lead back to the conflict between rats and humans. Can Remy’s cooking overcome that divide?

Mixed bag with two major flaws with the story
The kingdom of Pei has been humiliated by its ally the Yang. The Pei commander Deng Chao has felt that shame as well as being frustrated by his impetuous emperor and his estranged wife. The movie is about him saving face.<br /><br />I’ve been a big fan of director Zhang Yimou for years. His use of colors is striking. Here he went in the opposite direction with the entire film stressing shades of grey. It even appears black and white at times. That’s symbolic of Deng’s mood. There’s also great imagery using the Yin and Yang which holds the solution to his problems.<br /><br />I have 2 main complaints. 1st, the film is very slow during the first half. You get a lot of contemplative and morose Deng. The second half is like a new movie with Deng’s sparring with the rival general and a huge action sequence. 2nd the ending was dragged out far too long.<br /><br />Overall Shadow is a mixed bag. I was hoping for a lot more. The art of the film might actually be better than the story unfortunately.

Samuel L Jackson delves into his madness to find a killer
Samuel L. Jackson plays a mentally ill homeless man called The Caveman. A friend of his dies and Jackson is committed to discovering who did it using his visions that are caused by his illness.

Raquel Welch hunts down 3 outlaws who raped her
Three ruthless outlaws Ernest Borgnine, Strother Martin and Jack Elam rape Raquel Welch who then attempts to hunt them down and exact her revenge. She gets help from a bounty hunter played by Robert Culp. It’s definitely not your usual Western.<br /><br />Welch and Culp make a memorable duo. Culp is the mentor to Welch teaching her how to shoot. Welch is the victim and the follower for the first half. Then she finally comes into her own which is a sight to see. The story really reminds me of Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained with Welch being Christopher Waltz and Welch being Jamie Foxx.

Psychological thriller based around the exploitation of black bodies
Get Out was the smash hit of 2017. That was a total surprise because Jordan Peele who’d been known for his comedy beforehand wrote, directed and co-produced it. While many talked about it being a horror film it was more of a psychological thriller pitting the main character Daniel Kaluuya as Chris vs the Armitage family. What was so good about it was that Peele wrote the story so that each twist and turn was completely unexpected and always kept the audience off balance and guessing what would happen next. On top of that there was the added theme of race as whites were attempting to exploit the bodies of African Americans as they have historically done.<br /><br />The opening is a perfect example. Lakeith Stanfield as Andre is walking through a white neighborhood when a car turned around, pulled over, and a man in a mask abducted him. The following scene is completely unrelated as it introduces Chris, his girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams). Chris is nervous to meet Rose’s family because they’re an interracial couple. Again, people didn’t know what to make of that combination of the shocking kidnapping and the relationship between Chris and Rose.<br /><br />Bonus fact the opening featured Childish Gambino’s Redbone and made it that year’s summer jam.<br /><br />Without spoiling anything what Get Out came down to was white’s fascination with the black body. Whites have always been huge consumers of black music, entertainment and athletes. That was taken to a new level with this story. The white characters believed that black bodies contained a strength and vitality which they wanted to posses literally. That was the big surprise of the movie, the lengths they were willing to go to achieve this goal. Again Peele did such a brilliant job with the writing that this wasn’t even apparent until deep into the movie. If you watch it a second time however, there are hints and foreshadowing of the theme very subtly dropped here and there at the beginning.<br />C

Crusin down the street in my 6-4
Straight Outta Compton is a musical. That means it presents the biggest hits of N.W.A., Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and wraps a story around it with some real events, some not.<br /><br />The movie starts with the main players. Eazy E was a drug dealer. Dr. Dre and Dj Yella worked together as DJs but were unhappy with their gig, Ice Cube was in school writing lyrics. MC Ren was a friend of Eazy’s and the D.O.C. was tight with Dre. They all came together to form N.W.A. and released the single Boyz N The Hood. That brings in their manager Jerry Heller. Then they put on their first show featuring the song Dopeman. That’s the rhythm of the movie. There’s a main event, and then a song that goes along with it.<br /><br />If you want to get technical there’s a lot that gets left out. For example, the Arabian Prince was an original member but he’s not included. Dre and Yella were in the World Class Wrecking Cru and released two albums, but in the movie it’s portrayed like N.W.A. was their first venture into music. On the other hand, Eazy E’s parties were infamous. The fight between Ruthless people and Ice Cube’s after the two split at the New Music Seminar went down. Does that matter to the average viewer? No. What you get is great music with some interesting events like the Ice Cube’s diss tracks against N.W.A. after the split, the craziness that was Suge Knight, Ice Cube smashing his record executive’s office for not paying him, the discovery of Snoop, and of course Eazy contracting AIDS and dying. People loved it too. When I saw the film in a theater people were singing along with the lyrics.<br /><br />Along the way you also get a slice of 1980s-90s LA that gave rise to that music. Of course, that means touching on the crack years with the gangs and drugs, but there’s also the hanging out on Crenshaw on the weekend with all the people and cars, the parties, etc. There’s also the police harassment of young black men.<br /><br />Overall you get great music with an engaging story.<br />C

Low budget but has its charms
This is a low budget film about pool hustling that has some interesting cameos. Mars Callahan is a guy who’s entire life revolves around playing pool for money. He was mentored by Chazz Palminteri who screwed him. His local pool hall owner is Rod Steiger. He meets his girlfriend’s boss Christopher Walken who loves pool as well. Even Ricky Schroeder shows up as a hustler. While there are definitely the traits of a cheap movie like some bad acting and not the greatest scenes all the time I liked Callahan’s attitude. There are a couple times where he tells off pool players that are a sight to see. That gave the film a charm and made me want to watch it.

Best of the Final Destination films, mortality and interesting catastrophes
This was the beginning of a franchise and the best one in the lot. The start reminds me of the famous Twilight Zone episode where William Shatner sees a beast on the wing of the plane he’s flying on which eventually takes it down. Likewise Devon Sawa has a vision of his jet exploding. The deaths of the cast members are also well thought out. That’s why you end up watching Final Destination to see how each character gets it. They’re not as exaggerated as many that followed in the sequels. They also have to deal with mortality when they realize that they’re all going to die. Overall it makes for a good thriller.

Endearing story about a teen dealing with pressure anxiety & sanity
Keir Gilchrist is stressed out about school, his future and girls. You would think that would make It’s A Funny Kind Of Story your typical coming of age tale accept Keir is suicidal. He check himself into a hospital where he meets a cast of characters including Emmba Roberts and Zach Galifianakis. It’s a very endearing story.<br /><br />It’s A Funny Kind Of Story presents the anxiety that Gilchrist faces that leads him to contemplate killing himself. It becomes an exploration into this life about how he grew up, how his parents were unaware and indifferent to his problems, his friends, etc.<br /><br />One of the best scenes is a fantasy sequence when there’s musical therapy and Gilchrist and the others are all transformed into Rock performers decked out doing a version of Queen and David Bowie’s Under Pressure.<br /><br />Galifianakis almost steals the show sometimes. He gets to play his usual irrelevant self. The first time he shows up for instance he stole a doctor’s scrubs so he could sneak into the check in center to get some coffee. When he hears about Gilchrist being suicidal he says he should be chasing girls instead like it’s no big deal. Other times he gets to play serious as he has real problems with his mental health and family. It’s something he usually doesn’t get to do.

Just rehashed the story from the last movie
By part IV of this series Vincent Zhao had taken over the role of Wong Fei-hung from Jet Li. Tsui Hark was still involved but he was no longer the director but the co-writer and co-producer. Those changes led to a decided drop in the quality of the film. That starts with the fact that the story is almost exactly the same as part III focusing upon a lion dance and foreigners. Of course these movies barely stuck with the plot but all the fighting and jokes can’t make up for the fact that this is mostly a rehashing of the last film.

Liked the music and the stories
This concert had me right from the start when Blondie opened with Heart Of Glass which was their Disco tune. Debbie Harry sounds great and founder Chris Stein and drummer Clem Burke were still part of the line-up. Like others in this series the session mixes in live performance with an interview with the band about its history. A lot of that focuses upon the 1970s New York City scene like playing at a gay dive bar and the influence of the New York Dolls. I enjoyed both the music and the stories.

Love and life in black America but there's a whole section that could've been cut
The title of this film comes from James Baldwin who said every American city had an African American neighborhood with a Beale Street in it. That literary tradition continues throughout the story with Kiki Layne doing a voice over mostly about her relationship with Stephan James. That after all is the theme of Beale Street, love and life in black America.<br /><br />There’s a real innocence to Layne and James’ characters. It goes from them to all kinds of other issues such as the incarceration of black men, the hustle to survive, and more. I thought all that was great. However, mixed in with that was a trip to Puerto Rico which was dragged out and seemed unnecessary. I would have thrown that whole section out. Thank god for the ending, which saved things with a message that people can go through hell and still continue on.

Suprisingly original vampire story
Daybreakers is a dystopian vampire film. The Earth has been taken over by vampires after a bat spread the disease amongst the people. That of course caused a problem because only 5% of the human race were left for the vampires to feed on. As a result vampires were starving, mutating back into bat like creatures and feeding on their own kind. Ethan Hawke as scientist Edward Dalton is attempting to find a solution. That’s the dilemma of the movie how can the vampires continue to survive with their food supply running dry? The solution the movie comes up with is both surprising, original, and very bloody. This makes Daybreakers an above average vampire flick. It’s pretty hard to take what has become routine and expected an add a new twist to it.<br />C

Classic fairy tale love story with a sexual assault
Pretty Woman is a pretty traditional fairy tale about a hooker who gets a millionaire but it adds some twists.<br /><br />The start of the movie Julia Roberts is just eye candy. The first time they show her for instance it’s a shot of her butt and then her cleavage. Richard Gere on the other hand is a heartless businessman who hires her as a convenience. Thankfully they give her character a soul such as when she tries to go shopping and gets turned away because of the way she dresses which causes her to cry.<br /><br />The main plot is about Roberts breaking down Gere’s hard exterior. That works because the two have chemistry. This is all very traditional, familiar and predictable.<br /><br />There are two twists to the story however. One is subtle with two references to class differences between the rich and poor. The other is more shocking when Jason Alexander sexually assaults Roberts. Not something people usually remember about the movie.

Tried to be different but too up and down
This movie was up and down. It starts off with a group of college friends going to a cabin for a vacation. That’s a usual trope for them going off to their deaths. Then they find all kinds of weird things in the house they’re staying at like a cabinet full of syringes and a closet with a tape playing a crying baby. That was the gimmick they were going to try to create some different kinds of murders. I have to say they weren’t that successful. It wasn’t until the twist at the end that things got interesting again.

Dreams of the Younger family to better themselves
This remake of A Raisin In The Sun starts off with Langston Hughes’ famous A Dream Deferred poem which has the line “What happens to a raisin in the sun?” The movie is about the dreams of the Younger family. Each one has a different one from starting a business to connecting with their African roots but what they all have in common is the idea of escaping their current situation. That being five working class African Americans living in a small apartment in Chicago in the 1950s. The movie touches on how black people have always tried to improve themselves such as the mother Phylicia Rashad moving North durimg the Great Migration to escape the racism and hardships of the South. The differences however are what drives the story and the conflicts such as between the son played by Sean Combs and the mother Phylicia Rashad.<br /><br />The two standout performances are by Combs and his sister Sanaa Lathan. Combs captures the bitterness of his character. He truly feels that his dreams have not only been deferred but destroyed. Lathan on the other hand is full of hope thinking about her African roots and her professor played by David Oyelowo.<br /><br />This is a fine remake but I don’t think it has the explosiveness of the original 1961 one.

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

Game changer creating an entire new genre of horror the zombie movie
Night Of The Living Dead was a game changer because it created a brand new horror genre the Zombie flick. Director George Romero would become its godfather. He wasted no time in this masterpiece as a brother and sister go to a cemetery to lay a reef and next thing you know a member of the undead is chasing after them. Almost every zombie movie that followed copied the plot. That was a motley crew of people find themselves trapped together trying to escape the undead apocalypse. The pressure ends up dividing them on the inside while they have to survive the zombies on the outside. It’s a fantastic piece of art and still a great horro movie to this day.

Comic book store clerk and prostitute turn into action heroes in script by Tarantino
True Romance was written by Quentin Tarantino and had an all start cast of Christian Slater as Clarence, Patricia Arquette as Alabama, Dennis Hopper as Clifford, Gary Oldman as Drexl, Brad Pitt as Floyd, Christopher Walken as Don Vicenzo Coccotti, Michael Rapaport as Dick, James Gandolfini as Virgil, Chris Penn as Officer Nicky Dimes, Tom Sizemore as Officer Cody Nicholson, and a small cameo by Samuel L. Jackson as Big Don.<br /><br />You can see Tarantino’s influence right at the start as Clarence is in a bar flirting with a woman and asks her out to see a triple feature of Sonny Chiba films. Tarantino would later put Chiba in his Kill Bill film.<br /><br />Alabama and Clarence meet by accident at the viewing of the Sonny Chiba films and instantly hit it off. Things immediately run into problems however. First, it turns out Alabama is a prostitute who was hired by Clarence’s boss at a comic book store to pick him up for his birthday. Clarence doesn’t mind, and the two fall in love and get married. That’s just the start. Elvis appears in Clarence’s imagination and tells him that he should kill Alabama’s ex-pimp Drexl because he’s abusive, and thus the chaos begins. The movie quickly turns into an action-thriller with lots of gun play.<br /><br />Arquette really stands out amongst the main characters. She’s tough as nails as she literally takes a beating and keeps on ticking. Sizemore and Penn as policeman also have some great lines.<br /><br />Overall this is a good romantic action film that’s best known because of its association with Tarantino.<br />C

Boondocks wentout with a bang
The fourth season of the Boondocks came out in 2014. It lacked the involvement of Aaron McGruder who created the Boondocks as a newspaper comic strip and turned that into a very successful animated series on the Cartoon Network in 2005. Even without McGruder the fourth and last season was still hilarious and captured the same mood of the earlier seasons.<br /><br />The first episode is a perfect example that features Pretty Boy Flizzy. He’s a Chris Brown type of character that is constantly getting into trouble with the law, but keeps his popularity going. This is a well-known theme amongst many celebrities, but the Boondocks takes it to a ridiculous level. First he’s accused of robbing a store, but in the past he smuggled weapons to Nicaragua. After each scandal he gave a speech apologizing to his fans. Hopeless neighbor Tom becomes Flizzy’s lawyer. It turns out Flizzy’s trouble is all an act to keep him in the eye of the media and retain the attention of women. This is the Boondocks at its best. They take a current issue and either make some social commentary or more often than not satirize it. There are similar episodes such as “Good Times” about how credit is a scam, “Breaking Granddad” which mocks black hair products, “Granddad Dates a Kardashian” makes fun of reality TV and the Kardashian curse on black men, “I Dream of Siri” is about artificial intelligence, etc.<br /><br />The Boondocks really went out with a bang even though it was unfortunate that McGruder was no longer part of the series.

Uninteresting and uninspiring story
Uninspiring Sherlock Holmes story. A criminal in prison is passing message in music boxes he makes. His accomplices on the outside are acquiring the boxes that get auctioned off by hook and by crook. Since the story is pretty much laid out in the first 10 minutes or so the only thing Holmes has to figure out is what message the music boxes are trying to send and then catch the criminals accomplices.

A place of innocence ruled by corruption
This movie is so messed up. It will hit you in the gut every time you see it. At first Sleepers seems like a coming of age story as four kids grow up in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen. They pretend to be priests and hear someone’s confession. They play basketball with their favorite priest played by Robert De Niro. Then it takes an unexpected turn to the dark side when they are sent to juvenile hall and raped and abused by the guards led by Kevin Bacon. What seemed so pure at first becomes a story about trauma and revenge. As the main character says during a voice over, the kids lived in a “place of innocence ruled by corruption.”<br /><br />This powerful story is delivered by an amazing cast. Besides De Niro and Bacon, Brad Pitt, Billy Crudup, Ron Eldard, and Dustin Hoffman are all included.<br /><br />It’s a gripping and brutal story that will have you riveted. You will be on the edge of your seat to see how things play out.

If you're not spoiled then you will go far
Willy Wonka is an all time classic. I can remember growing up and watching it on TV all the time. It’s got iconic moment after moment from the song The Candy Man to the brat Veruca Salt/Julie Dawn Cole turning purple to my favorite the Oompa Loompas and their song about Wonka.<br /><br />The film was actually about how the poor and humble would prevail over the rich and voracious. Charlie being the former and Salt and the other kids that found golden tickets being the latter. The fate of each bad kid was a moral for what not to do. As the Oompa Loompas sang, “If you’re not spoiled then you will go far.”

Perspective mythology and race the themes that explain the film
I was a huge fan of the original Candyman film so I was excited to see this version. It’s like a continuation of the story rather than a remake.<br /><br />This is a movie that you have to pay attention to.<br /><br />First, during the opening credits all the words are backwards. This comes from the fact that the Candyman appears in mirrors so it’s giving his perspective on the world. Very subtle but detailed touch here.<br /><br />Then it tells the story of Candyman, loosely based upon the first movie, using shadow puppets. This is symbolic of how Candyman was a myth or fairytale but a dark one like the kind the Brothers Grimm created.<br /><br />Next the main character Yahya Abdul-Mateen II talks about basing his next art project upon Cabrina Green, an infamous housing project in Chicago and the setting of the original, as an example of white segregation and oppression. Also like the original, racism is an issue.<br /><br />These are the themes you should stay aware of throughout the movie: perspective, mythology and race. Those will help explain the origins of Candyman, how he’s seen and other elements of the story.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this release but there is one thing it was missing. It never got creepy or scary. That was a big disappointment.

Love story to NYC & its subways
Stations of the Elevated is a documentary about New York City’s subways. It was made in 1981 but wasn’t released until 2014. It has no commentary and some Jazz by Charles Mingus and an Aretha Gospel tune as a soundtrack. Other times it’s just the natural sound the city, the trains and nature. Not all of the shots are of trains however. Manfred Kirchheimer who made the movie had an eye and filmed things like shadows, advertising and more. Other times he shoots some of the slums and abandoned buildings that must have been in the Bronx. The idea is to give the environment that the trains were part of. He obviously loved NYC. As for the trains he starts off in a yard where they start off and then catches them as they go by in the city on elevated tracks. It shows all the graffiti which was an iconic part of the New York system at that time. Some pieces that he liked he showed over and over. The film comes in at 45 minutes which might be a touch too long. Without any narrative it does get a bit trying at time but you have to hand it to Kirchheimer who really captured some beautiful images.

Posed a moral question which made it interesting but middle of movie dragged
Can Nicholas Cage pull off a period piece horror flick? That was the question in Season of the Witch where Cage played Behmen von Bleibruck a German knight who returned from the Crusades to find the Church blaming a girl named Anna (Claire Foy) for the Black Death. Bleibruck and another knight named Felson (Ron Perlman) are told to take Anna to a monastery to remove the plague.<br /><br />Story is interesting at first but gets rather dull in the middle. There weren’t enough moments along the trip to take Anna to the monastery to keep one’s interest. The end was better which made up for the slow middle.<br /><br />Overall, a good but not great fantasy film.<br />C

Jaden Smith is SOOOO bad it's difficult to watch this movie
People told me this movie was really bad so I had to see it myself to find out whether that was true.<br /><br />The story is about Will and Jaden Smith crash landing on a planet where the latter will be able to prove himself to his father.<br /><br />The most remarkable thing about After Earth is both Smiths are over acting. Jaden for example is trying to be too scared when they crash and talks with a funky accent. He’s supposed to have been in soldier training but he acts like a little child. He is so bad and annoying it makes it difficult to watch the film.<br /><br />Not only that but as soon as the ship crashes you can predict what will happen at the end.<br /><br />To top it off it was directed and partly written by M. Night Shyamalan! Boy are his releases up and down.<br /><br />Overall, I should have listened to my friends and skipped After Earth because it is as bad as they said.

Drama intrigue and action in this thriller about stolen nukes
A group of rogue Russian soldiers steals a bunch of nuclear bombs to sell. Nicole Kidman as Dr. Julia Kelly is put in charge of an American team tasked with finding the devices with George Clooney as Lt. Col. Devoe who is her military liaison. The movie has a good sense of drama, intrigue and suspense mixed in with increasing action as the story moves along.<br /><br />Kelly and Devoe start off with an investigation, which quickly leads them to try to track down the Russians which is where all the action comes in. Kidman plays the analytic and serious character while Clooney is free-wheeling and unconventional. For instance the first time they meet Clooney keeps on interrupting Kidman during a presentation and then blows up everything she was talking about. Their dynamic helps drive the story along as well.<br />C

How Don Corleone created his mob & what his son Michael did with it mixed in with revenge
Part II of the Godfather series was divided up into two parts. First, it covers the rise of Vito Corleone played by Robert De Niro as a gangster in New York City in the early 1900s. Second, it deals with his son Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) moving his money into legitimate businesses. It’s really two parts of the same story how Vito created the Corleone mafia family and what his son Michael tried to do with it. It’s also got some good old revenge in there as well.<br /><br />Michael Corleone’s story is far more interesting. It involves plots, double crosses and murders left and right. You can’t tell who is a friend and who is an enemy there are so many twists and turns. It also has an interesting twist as part of his plan was to invest in Cuba while the revolution led by Fidel Castro was growing in strength.<br /><br />Michael’s wife played by Diane Keaton really gets a scene to shine in a scene towards the end as well about how his life was affecting their family.<br /><br />Overall it was a fitting sequel to the original.

Group of heroes from 19th Cent literature are assembled to save the world
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was based upon a comic book of the same name. It took an interesting take on the superhero genre. It’s heroes came from the works of the turn of the century literature. Sean Connery was Allen Quartermain from King Solomon’s Mines. Naseeruddin Shah was Captain Nemo from Jules Verne’s work. Peta Wilson was Mina Harker a female vampire from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Tony Curran was Rodney Skinner who was the invisible man originally written about by H.G. Wells. Stuart Townsend was Dorian Gray created by Oscar Wilde. Shane West was Tom Sawyer from Mark Twain’s novels. Finally Jason Flemyng was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde who appeared in a Robert Louis Stevenson book. They face off against the Fantom (Richard Roxburgh) who is creating modern weapons like machine guns, tanks, etc. to start a war he hoped to profit from. That’s foreshadowing the horrors of World War I. He actually turns out to be another villain from a well known writer. M, from the James Bond films brings the heroes together to counter the Fantom, but they turn out to be betrayed in a devilish plot.<br /><br />The movie is an action story so there’s chases and shootings, etc. Quartermain and Sawyer for example have to hunt down Mr. Hyde in Paris. There were enough twists to keep the plot interesting as well so it didn’t become just one fight sequence after another. Who the Fantom turned out to be was a surprise and another play with literature.<br /><br />Overall, I saw this film when it first came out in a movie theater and greatly enjoyed it and it still hasn’t gotten old.

A puzzle the audience has to figure out
21 Grams was the second in director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s provocative trilogy of films that started with Amores Perros and ended with Babel. Like the latter there’s an ensemble cast (Naomi Watts, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Charlotte Gainsburg) and interrelated stories going on at the same time. Watts is a drug addict trying to kick her habit. Penn is in the hospital on a breathing machine. Gainsburg is his wife and wants to have babies. Del Toro is a street minister. The movie is about how they got into these situations. The stories are confusing at first because they’re not told in order but Inarritu doesn’t tell the audience that. It’s like a puzzle you have to figure out.

Coming of age with the draw of the big city and an all female skate crew
Skate Kitchen is a coming of age story focusing upon Rachelle Vinberg. She is full of rebellion and wants to do nothing but skate and hang out with her all female crew in New York City. The movie plays upon the alienation of living out in the suburbs and the draw of the big city along with comparing life in a dysfunctional family to the appeal of being with other girls. The movie is supposed to be loosely based upon Vinberg’s own life. She’s a great skater and definitely portrays a teenager well. She just seems very realistic and nothing is forced. The same goes for her friends. Can’t recommend this enough.

This film captures the experience of women in male-dominated spaces and tells a story of a girl who learns the importance of camaraderie and self-discovery..

Great action packed ending
The 90s were the heyday of women starring in Hong Kong action flicks. The Inspector Wears Skirts is a perfect example as it follows a group of female police cadets training for a commando unit. Like a Kung Fu movie much of the movie is about their training. They also throw in some comedy and a love story with male cadets. That last part gets pretty cheesy at times. Of course at the end the women are ready for duty. The action at the conclusion is great with the women jumping and kicking all over the place, and a fine way to end the film.

Interesting thriller about the sins of a family and the church
I really liked this thriller about priests and nuns being killed for the sins of a family and the church. That made it interesting right from the start and there was a good amount of mystery and suspense thrown in as well. There was a strong cast starting with Donald Sutherland as a priest with a conscience who would be the main person trying to figure out the murders. He’s haunted by the murders which was very well done. One scene he goes to throw darts at a board only to find yellow flowers hanging on it from the killer. Charles Durning was the head of the church who talked like it was “his”.

Rocky start turns into completely unbelievable movie
This movie came out in 1991 but it might as well have been made in the 1940s and 50s. That’s because it follows a completely traditional war film plot of the hero, Brad Johnson, finding a lover, Rosanna Arquette, before he finds himself in a giant war scenario. It just drags out the story. Thankfully the combat scenes are very well done. The second half however goes in a completely wrong direction because what happens is completely unbelievable. In fact, the climax even gets worse if that’s possible.

3 troubled cops and whether they can turn their lives around
The story revolves around three troubled cops. Richard Gere is Officer Eddie Dugan who is finishing his career and is completely cynical and burned out as a result. Ethan Hawke is Detective Sal Procida who can’t support his growing family on a cop’s salary and is becoming increasingly desperate as a result. Finally, Don Cheadle is Detective Clarence Butler who’s been undercover so long he’s losing himself in his alter ego. The question for the three characters is whether they will continue their downward spiral or will they be able to pull themselves out of their troubles.<br /><br />What works about the movie is that it focuses upon three interesting characters. It’s not your usual good/bad cop plot. Hawke for instance has five kids, his wife is pregnant with twins and she’s sick from the mold in their house. You can feel the pressure he’s under. Cheadle on the other hand feels like he’s trapped by his circumstances. Not all the stories go the way you would expect either which makes it a great story overall.<br />C

Hilarious over the top spoof of action movies
This is a hilarious spoof of action movies with Will Forte as the hero MacGruber and Val Kilmer as the bad guy. This was obviously a take off of the TV show MacGyver. There are so many funny moments like Forte begging Ryan Phillippe to screw him or watch him screw anybody or thing so he would join his team to the absolute overkill Forte uses at his wedding. It points to the film often going over the top in its comedy and it really works. It had me laughing out loud.

Not only can't you control nature it usually fights back
I saw Nope in the theater and none of my family could figure it out. I was confounded as well until near the end when everything came together for me. The confusion comes from the fact that Jordan Peele uses symbolism to convey the stories’ theme instead of just laying it out for the lay person. That starts with the opening scene where a monkey brutally attacks and kills members of a hit TV show it was part of. That didn’t make any sense to me at all because the movie is about a UFO so why is it starting with a chimp? It’s actually the message that people thought they could tame this monkey which is what people tried to do with the alien. They found out that they couldn’t control nature and that nature usually fights back with deadly consequences as the actors discovered in the beginning.<br /><br />My main complaint about Nope was it took so long to get to the point about the alien. I think it would’ve been a lot better if it had edited down the start. Still when it gets to the UFO it’s great. To me that made Nope a fun watch but it wasn’t as good as Peele’s Get Out or Us.

A storyof chance adventure and addiction
Ryan Reynolds plays a fast talker that believes in seeing where adventures takes him. Ben Mendelsohn is the epitome of a born loser. They two meet by random and go on a trip across the Midwest and South. It turned into a great and moving story of the limits of friendship and chance. Reynolds didn’t play his usual character. Yes he did like to talk but it wasn’t like most of his other roles. He both believed in people and thought he and others deserved what was coming to them and would actively work to create consequences for wrong actions. Mendelsohn did the perfect job portraying someone with an addiction. It didn’t matter what the situation he just could not say no to his habit. I can’t recommend this movie enough.

The struggles of life
I saw this in a theater when it came out and it blew me away. That was when it came out in 2000 so I was anxious to see whether it held up to the test of time. It did.<br /><br />The first thing going for this film was that it was directed by Alejandro Inarritu who would make two more amazing films Birdman and The Revenant.<br /><br />The movie is broken up into three inter-related stories. The one I liked the most was the first about two brothers, Gael Garcai Bernal and Marco Perez, who hate each other and how they try to make a living. Their story is very gritty and deals with poverty. The other two are about an affair between Alvaro Guerrero and Goya Toledo, and Emilio Echevarria who is trying to make contact with his daughter. They all have dogs hence the title but what really connects them is that they all struggle in one way or another. That’s what makes this a remarkable film is to see these characters go through their life journeys and all the things they face.

Battle of the sexes caused by Steve Harvey?
Think Like A Man was the first of three romantic-comedies produced by Will Packer. It focused upon four couples and two friends Michael (Terrence J) and Candace (Regina Hall), Dominic (Michael Ealy) and Lauren (Taraj P. Henson), Zeke (Romany Malco) and Mya (Meagan Good), and Jeremy (Jerry Ferrara) and Kristen (Gabrielle Union) along with Cedric (Kevin Hart) and Bennett (Gary Owen). The men all believe that they are doing good but the women all find out about a book by Steve Harvey called Think Like A Man that completely changes how they look at relationships. Mya is the one effected the most telling Zeke that they have to go on 90 dates before they have sex. They even have to go out several times before he can go inside her house. Kristen demands that Jeremy who is a slacker grow up and apply himself and get a job. Steve Harvey constantly appears in the film explaining his main points about men and women. The question was could the men adapt and save their relationships?<br /><br />Of course, there’s lots of comedy as well. For instance, when all the men are having a drink they ask Bennett if white men are born with good credit. He says yes. Later Jeremy said that Bennett wasn’t white he was clear. Or there’s when Michael drops Candace off at home after a date and her son opens the door and asks him did he touch his mama?<br /><br />The success of the movie came from screenplay writers Keith Marryman and David Newman creating different types of relationships and interesting character interactions. There were plenty of laughs along the way.<br />C

Trevor Howard finds some illegal activity in Tunisia but it’s really about his love affair with Wilfrid Hyde-White.

An appreciation of boxing and the champ Muhammad Ali
This is a great documentary. It’s a mix of footage of Ali and interviews with a series of men who fought him such as Larry Holmes, George Foreman, Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, Leon Spinks and more. There are some real stories here such as Sonny Liston talking a fall in the second Ali-Liston fight. The fact that one heavyweight champion’s manager almost got beat to death for threatening Ali.<br /><br />The fighters also get to tell some of their stories and some of them are tragic. George Chuvalo for example lost his entire family. Ernie Shavers grew up in a sharecropping family and his dad escaped being lynched by the KKK.<br /><br />The film does touch on Ali’s politics, but it is really about the fights and the fighters and I’m not mad at that.

One of the best Shaw Bros releases with great characters & lots of dead henchmen
A government official played by Sun Chien is tasked with delivering some gold to famine victims with the help of fighters Wei Pai, Helen Poon, Shu Pei Sun, Chiang Sheng and Kuo Chui. They have to face off against the Chi Sha gang led by Golden Arm (Lo Mang), Silver Spear (Lu Feng), Iron Robe (Wang Lung Wei) and Brass Head (Yang Hsiung). There’s plenty of henchmen on both sides which means lots of people are going to die. The best character is Golden Arm whose skin is impervious to weapons. He struts around like nothing matters. After that it has to be Kuo Chui who uses a drunken style. The story also has all kinds of tricks and booby traps to add to the usual martial arts scenes. It’s by far one of the better Shaw Brothers’ action films.

Represents some of the cultural changes of America in the 1960s
Talk about a counter cultural film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice reflects many of the changes brought about by the 1960s. That’s seen right at the start as Robert Culp and Natalie Wood visit a New Age institute with a nudist colony and a marathon long group session. After that they try to use what they learned in their relationship and relationships with others. The dilemma is whether everyone can dig it or not to use the vernacular of the time. Some are open to change and others are resistant. That’s the key to the story. It’s definitely a movie of its time. I like Robert Culp the best. He embraces the period but then has deep questions about it because he can’t overcome the sexual roles of America.

THE best James Bond film
Goldfinger in my honest opinion was the epitome of the entire James Bond franchise. Dr. No was important because it set out all the themes and tropes that would appear in all the subsequent movies. Goldfinger was when they all came together at their absolute best.<br /><br />The movie starts with a great spy scene where Bond blows up a facility, then gets with a woman, only to escape an assassination attempt. Connery is his usual cool and collected self, such as when the bombs go off and he just looks around like nothing happened.<br /><br />Then it gets to the heart of the story where Bond attempts to undermine Auric Goldfinger’s, played by Gert Frobe, Operation Grand Slam to corner the market on the world’s gold supply by attacking Fort Knox. The two run into each other in Miami when Bond finds Goldfinger cheating at cards and undermines him with the help of a beautiful young lady named Jill Masterson, played by Shirley Eaton. They of course hook up afterward, only for Bond to be knocked out and then he finds her dead, covered in gold paint. That’s one of the most iconic Bond scenes ever. Bond then chases Goldfinger around the world until they end up in Kentucky for the climax. That includes humiliating Goldfinger again at a game of golf and being captured by Goldfinger and having the classic exchange, “Do you expect me to talk?” “No Mr. Bond I expect you to die.” Finally, Connery runs into another classic Bond girl, Pussy Galore played by Honor Blackman who is part of Goldfinger’s scheme.<br /><br />For me, Connery is the pan ultimate Bond. He had the looks, the swagger, the sexism, and the feel for the character like none other. In this film he also gets plenty of gadgets to play with which set a standard for the following films. The most iconic is his Aston Martin car.<br /><br />The title song is another excellent tune by Shirley Bassey. It might be the best Bond theme ever.<br /><br />All together this is the best of the best. You get Sean Connery at his peak. You get the spy tools. You get a classic Bond villain and two of the best Bond girls. There’s action, there’s adventure, there’s sex. It’s a Bond movie!

Only for true fans as most of the films are really bad
This collected together the first six of the original seven Gamera movies. There’s Gamera the Invincible aka Gamera the Giant Monster, War of the Monsters aka Gamera vs Barugon, Return of the Giant Monsters aka Gamera vs Gyaos, Destroy All Planets aka Gamera vs Viras, Attack of the Monsters aka Gamera vs Guiron, and Gamera vs Monsters X aka Gamera vs Jiger. These are all the American releases of the films hence the different titles. The first one also has extra footage of American actors added to it.<br /><br />When I was a kid I was a HUGE fan of Japanese movies and kids TV shows like Godzilla and Ultraman so Gamera was right up my alley. Watching these movies now that I’m older however they are really disappointing. Daiei Film really didn’t know what to do with this franchise. In the first film, Gamera tends to just stand around and does very little. In War of the Monsters there’s far too much on the humans and not enough on Gamera. Around a quarter of Destroy All Planets is stock footage from the previous two movies! Plus the studio did a horrible job with its monster foes. All of them except Jiger look really bad.<br /><br />Really the only good films in this series were Return of the Giant Monsters and Gamera vs Monster X. Those were the ones that really focused upon the big turtle and had a lot of action.<br /><br />That means this collection is only for people who are real fans of the series because most of the movies are not that good.

Anthology of 3 struggling women
Personal Velocity is an engaging anthology about three struggling women. Kyra Sedgwick is dealing with an abusive husband. Parker Posey is in a boring marriage. Fairuza Balk is completely lost and looking for direction. Each one gets a segment of the movie to go through their trials and tribulations in a very tight and compact way which I enjoyed. That meant they didn’t have any time to dilly dally around or waste time on tangents or excesses. Each was interesting in its own way and presented the many experiences women can go through.

Oldies but goodies by Blondie
What a great show. Blondie broke up for a while but then they got back together and were as good as ever. This set mixes in a few new tunes but is mostly their oldies but goodies like Heart of Glass, The Tide Is High, Dreaming, Hanging On The Telephone and more. Debbie Harry still looks great and can still hole a tune.

Some great footage of late-70s Punk, Ska, Mod, Rock bands from the UK
This might be the best in this series made by a German filmmaker. This one is really about the British Rock scene in the late 1970s with a few Punk bands thrown in. There’s concert footage mixed in with a few interviews. The first is with Bob Geldof who makes some poignant comments about how Punk was revolting against the musical establishment only to create their own establishment and most of the bands weren’t able to escape it. Plus the music is pretty outstanding with groups like The Clash, The Jam, The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, and The Pretenders.

Satire about racism in the movie business which stereotypes & limits blacks
Hollywood Shuffle is Robert Townsend’s satire about how the movie industry treats black actors. The opening is a perfect example as Townsend practices a scene with all kinds of stereotypes about black people. He goes to the audition where black actors complain about white directors telling them they’re not black enough. Then he dreams of a black acting school where African Americans are taught how to speak jive, walk black and other skills by whites. The point is to mock Hollywood’s treatment of blacks where the only roles open to them are as slaves, criminals, and servants. That’s also how the movie plays out. Townsend talks about something and then imagines how the industry should be like such as having black movie critics, etc. Not everything is funny but the overall message about the racism inherent in the movie business rings true.

Excellent modern neo-Film Noir driven by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Joseph Gordon-Levitt drives this whole movie. He’s smart, has short crisp lines and sounds like an adult despite playing a high school student. He also does the unexpected like hold his own in fist fights. Most importantly he’s obsessive. In this case it’s about his ex-girlfriend and her problems. He’s determined to figure out what happened to her. The dialogue and the mystery makes Brick like an old Hard Boiled detective story. There’s even a femme fatale character. It all makes Brick a very good neo-Film Noir.

Best rendition of Dracula tale as tragic Gothic love story
This is by far my favorite rendition of the classic Dracula tale. That’s because the actors, with one exception, do an outstanding job, the look of the movie is fantastic and the telling of the tale is crazy. Francis Ford Coppola made the movie and he really did a great job. At its heart this is a Gothic love story between Dracula (Gary Oldman) and his dead wife Elisabeta (Winona Ryder) who he thinks has been reborn as Mina Harker. It makes Dracula into a tragic figure.<br /><br />The first thing that strikes you is the look of the film. Coppola featured red in many of the early scenes from Dracula’s armor to the hue of the sky as Jonathan Harker (Keanue Reeves) travels to Transylvania. Everything then switches to black inside Dracula’s castle. The director also created many striking images. The first time you see the undead Dracula for example is via a shadow that slithers across the wall before you see him. It’s like his shadow is alive. It all helps set the mood.<br /><br />Next, the cast was great. Even the lesser supporter characters like Tom Waits as the crazed R.M. Reinfield who was imprisoned in an insane asylum. He has great scenes eating bugs and then screaming his head off. Oldman of course shines playing Dracula as a tortured soul. That was a twist from the usual portrayal where Dracula is a ladies man who also happens to suck people’s blood. Anthony Hopkins as Professor Van Helsing acts like a cooky old nut. The only one that doesn’t fit is Reeves. He’s great in some roles, but this one he just fails. His English accent for example is horrible. Coppola really should have picked someone else.<br /><br />The story is strong and you even get to see Dracula cry again harkening back to this being a tragedy.<br /><br />This puts Coppola’s Dracula above all the other renditions of the story.<br />C

Much deeper than your usual horror linking racism in the past & present & subverting it
Candyman is a classic bit of horror based upon urban legends. Candyman went far beyond that in several ways however. First of all Candyman was said to live in Cabrini Green one of the most infamous housing projects in Chicago before the area got redeveloped and gentrified. Second it mentions urban segregation such as cutting off black communities using things like highways. Most importantly Candyman’s origins date back to the Reconstruction period and the fear of black men mixing with white women. It thus mixes past with present racism in America. They even subvert race in the second half as a white person is blamed for the Candyman’s handiwork. These elements make the story much deeper than your usual story of a boogeyman. Of course there’s eventually some real gore added as the Candyman gets down to business. It’s a pure classic.

When Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) hears about Candyman (Tony Todd), a slave spirit with a hook hand who is said to haunt a notorious housing project, she braves the gang-ridden area to visit the site. Helen arrogantly assumes Candyman can't really exist…until he appears, igniting a string of terrifying, grisly slayings. The police refuse to believe Helen's story and charge her with the crimes. Now the only one who can set her free is Candyman..

Heroism and tragedy as the world looked on
Hotel Rwanda was the shocking true story of how the country of Rwanda disintegrated into civil strife and genocide in 1994. Rwanda was colonized first by the Germans and then the Belgians who took over during World War I. Both promoted the Tutsis as their surrogates to rule the country. In the 1960s the Hutus took power and began repressing the Tutsis. In 1990 civil war broke out. In response Hutus began talking about eliminating all the Tutsis in revenge. That’s the setting of Hotel Rwana which begins with a radio broadcast calling the Tutsis cockroaches who deserved to be exterminated.<br /><br />The movie is based upon the true story of Paul Rusesabagina played by Don Cheadle who was the manager of the Hotel des Mille Collines in the Rwandan capital when the country came apart. After the president was killed the Hutus began a concerted campaign to murder all the country’s Hutus. Rusesabagina’s hotel became a safe haven for people fleeing the genocide. The movie is about the heroism of Rusesabagina who held out against all odds as people were being massacred all around the country. It is also about how the world stood by and did nothing while Rwanda bled. The United Nations was in the country but was toothless because none of the major powers cared. France sent in a military force but it was only to save the Europeans. The Tutsis were left to be killed. That led the head of the U.N. military mission in Rwanda played by Nick Nolte to tell Paul they were “dirt” and the world didn’t care about them implying that was because they were black and African.<br /><br />The movie is as powerful as it is horrifying. Rusesabagina was an amazing man who saw the humanity in all people and tried to save as many as he could. Rwanda was also a tragedy that everyone should become aware of and remember. After the Cold War Africa became largely a forgotten continent. You have to ask if the genocide happened in another part of the world could the international community have ignored it?<br />C

You have to see this film
The Mist is one of my favorite adaptations of a Stephen King story. First, what happens is completely unexpected. Second it does not have your stereotypical Hollywood ending which makes it really stand out. In fact, the conclusion is shocking in how tragic it is. The story is about a group of people coming apart as they’re trapped inside a supermarket. Faced with a danger outside they turn on each other. To say anymore would be to spoil this fantastic film.<br /><br />One of the strengths of the movie is that it keeps on throwing new things into the mix. Most movies build up to one thing and then that’s it. The Mist has one surprise after another.<br /><br />I really can’t talk enough about this film. You just have to see it.

Story of loneliness survival plus aliens
This was one of the movies that used to be on TV all the time on the weekend. Seeing it again brought back some nostalgia but more importantly I wanted to see whether it was any good. The story focuses upon Commander Draper (Paul Mantee) crashing and being trapped upon Mars and whether he can survive. His only companion is a monkey that was on his ship with him. The movie focuses upon the quest to live and loneliness. It provides an interesting plot that follows the basic outlines of the original Crusoe story but this time with aliens thrown in. That’s actually one of the drawbacks because the special effects are a bit inconsistent. There’s even some screw ups if you watch closely enough. Overall it’s better than many other sci-fi films of the time. That’s because it had good source material from the original Crusoe story.<br />C

She starts off in the back doing the dishes but then falls in love making Sushi. She’s encouraged by the sushi chef but the owner disapproves. The movie highlights the beauty of food as well as the role of Latinos in the restaurant industry. There’s a powerful scene when Juana demands that she be allowed to make sushi. She says that Latinos are in the back unseen in every restaurant and it’s about time that they are allowed in the front.<br /><br />The movie is just great and I’ve seen it several times since originally viewing it at a theater. I obviously liked it so much I bought the DVD. It is a real joy to watch.<br />C

After getting robbed while tending the fruit cart, she applies for and is hired as a sous chef at the Japanese restaurant Osaka. She starts off as a kitchen helper, but as her interest in sushi grows, she starts to develop signature sushi dishes on her own time through much trial and error.

She improves and impresses the veteran chef Aki, to whom she starts to get close. But the Japanese owner refuses to let her work as a sushi chef to "keep the authenticity of the restaurant." Juana, though keeping her head down at first, demands a chance to become a sushi chef, but the owner, Mr. Yoshida, turns her down because she is a woman and not Japanese. She angrily quits and starts working at a car wash, but is selected as one of four finalists in the "Champions of Sushi" contest, which is televised. She tells Aki the good news and both go on a date, eating mostly Mexican food from food trucks. With the staff at her former restaurant watching her on TV, she puts up a good fight in the contest but ultimately places second. She cries backstage after her defeat. However, she has gained the respect of her fellow competitors that previously mocked her, and Mr. Yoshida. The film ends with a scene of her father and daughter eating at Osaka Restaurant with Aki, and Juana working as a sushi chef. She and Mr. Yoshida drink a toast..

Cuthroat businessman learns how to rejoin the human race
Russell Crowe is a cutthroat investor who returns to France after his uncle Albert Finney passes to find out how to be part of the human race again. He plays up the jerk persona in the first part as he bosses people around and pulls off an almost illegal deal. Everything changes as soon as he arrives at his uncle’s estate. He gets a childish grin as he sees things that are nostalgic and his character is transformed. In one scene he sees a bunch of French bikers and yells “Lance Armstrong!” at them just to make them mad. Of course there’s a romance thrown in there as well. In contrast there are some hard hitting parts about Crowe’s legacy and his uncle’s love. This turned out to be produced by Ridley Scott of all people. Not the type of film I would expect him to make but he did a fantastic job.

Great picture of mental illness and then ruins it at the end
Russell Crowe is a genius mathematician working at Princeton. Early on he shows signs of mental problems and then has a full breakdown. The movie slowly reveals the extent of his sickness in interesting ways by bringing you into his madness without you knowing it. It’s a real innovative way of showing mental illness. It’s also funny because some of it uses the most stereotypical images people have of conspiracy theories. On top of that Crowe acts like he’s autistic and is almost incapable of social interaction. When he talks to women it’s hilarious. After all that the movie fails at the end by having Crowe say he will fight his problem on his own. That’s a real letdown.

Disappointing
This movie definitely has a striking beginning as a group of young woman are all dressed alike and standing in a building looking like mannequins or robots waiting for a playboy. It’s very Mod although he rides a motorcycle instead of a scooter. After that there are a series of voiceovers complaining about the new generation. That would lead you to believe that this was a movie about the 60s youth culture. Instead it’s a comedy about a hapless teacher getting pointers about women from the playboy. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. It’s like some writer heard about Mods and saw them in a magazine so incorporated them into the story but really had no idea what they were about so just used them as a background.

1 of the best "realistic" detective movies from the 50s
The voiceover intro tells the viewer that The Naked City was another attempt to create a realistic crime drama. It also shows that Manhattan will be a main character as well. There are dozens of location shots of New York City and all the masses of people. It’s not just uptown either as much of the story takes place in the Lower East Side. That brings up the next subject which is the class differences and diversity in the city. One young detective is middle class living out in the boroughs while his boss is working class with an Irish accent. The end of the film takes place in a Jewish immigrant neighborhood. The case itself is interesting and the movie is mostly a police procedural with interviews, following leads, etc. It reminded me of the TV show Dragnet that I used to watch as a kid. It all ends with a great chase scene on foot across what I think is the Williamsburg Bridge. I’ve watched several other movies for this period attempting to do the same thing and this is one of the best ones.

Great start Then it falls apart
I thought this movie had a good start and then went off the deep end. At first Sylvester Stallone is chasing a serial killer who only goes after cops. He leaves their bodies in these gruesome positions to sow terror. That was great. Then Stallone is going to a rehab program in a facility that looks like a nuclear fallout shelter in Siberia. That’s where everything falls apart. There’s not even an investigation into who the killer is. There’s just a chase, and then it’s done.

He represents how corrupt the police have become.<br /><br />Keital really plays the crooked detective well. He drops off his kids at school and then does some cocaine. He extorts money from two shoplifters. He parties while on the job. He even tries to steal drugs from a crime scene. He has absolutely no shame and no scruples. It’s an open question if he ever does any real police work or if he thinks what he does is his job. Because he’s a detective he thinks he has the privilege to profit from his position.<br /><br />The problem with the movie is that there is no progression in the story. It’s just Keitel’s daily debauchery. It’s interesting at first to see what he tries to get away with but you’d like something to happen him at the end, anything other than the way the story concludes.

So badly written it's amazing
The writing in this film is so bad I don’t know what to say. The story is about two brothers Eli and Jimmy being on the run from a gangster that Jimmy owes money to. Where to begin with the problems? Eli finds a laser gun left by aliens in a factory that he later uses to help his brother. The aliens want it back. Why did this mix of crime and sci-fi come about? Jimmy just got out of prison and tells Eli that their dad is busy but they’re going on a road trip all the way to the West Coast and Eli says yes, like that’s not suspicious. Jimmy takes Eli into a strip club and they party with a bunch of strippers and no one says anything about Eli being 14 allegedly because Jimmy is spending lots of money. The gangster Jimmy owes money to chases them down even though there’s no way to track them. Basically this whole thing is a mess.<br />C

Funny heist comedy written and starring John Cleese
The fact that this movie featured John Cleese and Michael Palin was reason enough to watch it. Cleese also wrote the story which was an added bonus. It was a comedy heist film.<br /><br />George (Tom Georgeson) has a plan to rob a bank with the help of Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis), Ken (Michael Palin) and Otto (Kevin Kline). Wanda is manipulating all the men and plans to betray them all. When Otto rats out George to get rid of him Archie Leach (John Cleese) becomes his lawyer. That makes him another target for Wanda.<br /><br />Cleese wrote a great script. Otto is an idiot. Ken has a stutter. Leach is a completely nondescript lawyer who is completely unhappy. Amongst this odd mix of men Wanda is the one with the brains.<br /><br />As would be expected there are plenty of hilarious moments. Wanda is trying to seduce Leach when Otto shows up because he’s insanely jealous. When he hears them talking about how stupid he is he pops up and demands an apology from Leach who refuses. Otto then hangs him upside down out of a window. Ken on the other hand is tasked with assassinating an old lady that saw George at the robbery. Instead of killing the woman however he keeps on taking out her dogs, which greatly hurts Ken because he’s an animal lover.<br /><br />Overall the movie is a good laugh.<br />C

Surprisingly twisted film about revenge
Cold Pursuit was a really surprisingly good movie. I watched it with no expectations and was really happy when it concluded.<br /><br />At the start it seems like a traditional Liam Neeson movie. He plays father Nelson Coxman, a working class snow plow driver in Colorado. His son is killed in a botched drug robbery. As per previous Neeson movies he becomes the avenging father. That’s the end of the similarities between Cold Pursuit and those other films.<br /><br />Cold Pursuit is a dark comedy about revenge. There’s Neeson who wants revenge for his son. There’s a Native America drug kingpin named White Bull played by Tom Jackson that wants payback for his child. There’s another drug dealer named Viking played by Tom Bateman who is the villain. Finally, there are a lot of dead bodies, and each one gets his name, his nickname, and a religious symbol as a homage to their passing. This becomes part of a running joke in the film. There are a lot of other morbid moments that are played for laughs as well such as how Neeson gets rid of bodies. There are lighter ones too such as how Viking’s son talks with his bodyguards or how Neeson’s sister in law treats him.

The local police aren’t used to much action until the son of unassuming town snowplough driver, Nels Coxman (Liam Neeson), is murdered at the order of Viking (Tom Bateman), a flamboyant drug lord. Fueled by rage and armed with heavy machinery, Nels sets out to dismantle the cartel one man at a time, but his understanding of murder comes mainly from what he read in a crime novel. As the bodies pile up, his actions ignite a turf war between Viking and his long-standing rival White Bull (Tom Jackson), a soulful Native-American mafia boss, that will quickly escalate and turn the small town’s bright white slopes blood-red..

A character study of a ronin and how he got into his hopeless situation
Samurai Assassin is based upon the historical event of the murder of the Shogun’s High Elder Il Naosuke in Edo in 1860. A group of samurai thought his murder would change the direction of the country that was being forced open by the arrival of the West. Toshiro Mifune played a ronin (masterless samurai) named Niiro Tsurochiyo who joins the plot. It would seem like the story is about their plot, but it’s actually about Niiro’s situation.<br /><br />Niiro is a completely hapless ronin. He lives in a broke down hut on the edge of the city. He joins the plot not because he believes in their cause, but because he hopes of moving up in life. He can’t even womanize because he has no money. The only thing he has is his sword skills. This was the lot of many samurai during the Tokugawa rule. There were no more wars so only getting a position with a wealthy family ensured a living. Otherwise they struggled only having their samurai status to lord over peasants and common folk. The film focuses upon how Niiro got into his dilemma. It’s tied in with the strict class structure of feudal Japan with an added twist on top.<br />C

Was really disappointed in this
I heard a lot about this movie but I have to say I was disappointed. Pierre Brasseur is a surgeon and Alida Valli his assistant who kidnap young women hoping to cut off their face and graft it onto Edith Scob who plays Brasseur’s daughter who was disfigured in a car accident. It’s always great to see Valli on the screen as I’ve been a fan of hers from The Third Man. The problem however is there is no tension or horror in this film. The characters just go about their work. Brassuer especially plays his part with a stern face and no emotion. It just didn’t do anything for me.

This time Langdon has to save the Catholic church from destruction
Angel and Demons was the follow up book and movie to the Da Vinci Code. Nothing could match that mind-bending tale, but this was still a very good film. Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) returned this time trying to help the Roman Catholic Church. The Pope just died and some of the leading Bishops that might replace him are kidnapped by a group claiming to be the Illuminati, which not only threatens to kill them, but destroy the city of Rome using anti-matter. The Illuminati are said to be an anti-religious and pro-science group. They thus want to wipe out the church using the latest discovery anti-matter.<br /><br />Like in the Da Vinci Code the film features Langdon’s analytic abilities and how he can link disparate pieces of evidence together. For example he reads a book by Galileo, he looks for something built by Gianlorenzo Bernini, and then they go to St. Peter’s Square. That of course leads to the drama as Langdon and company run through Rome trying to find the bishops. In the end, Angels And Demons just like the Da Vinci Code ends by re-affirming faith and this time the church as well. That makes it a very worthy sequel.<br />C

Opening is like Michael Jackson's Beat It video
I swear to god I thought the start of this movie was going to lead into Michael Jackson’s Beat It video. Two gangs are facing off and a guy puts a tape in his radio to provide a soundtrack to the fight. I don’t think True Blood ever recovered from that start. The movie is supposed to be about two estranged brothers Jeff Fahey and Chad Lowe reconciling but the gang parts are as bad as the opening.
