Quite a thrill ride as the title takes on dual meanings
A space station returning to Earth from Mars is bringing back samples. Among those it finds a life form. This is considered a huge scientific discovery until it attacks one of the crew. Then the title takes on a second meaning. First it was about the alien form found. Then it’s about whether the scientists on the station can stay alive.<br /><br />To make any such film effective they have to come up with a good alien and they definitely do with this one. It starts off innocently enough and then takes on new and more threatening forms. The movie then sticks to a common trope the cat and mouse game with the humans trying to hunt down the alien.<br /><br />All together this was a definite thrill ride.<br />C

Story of outsiders, tragedy and a critique of the American Dream
Growing up an 80s Punk Rock kid my friends and I were always desperate to see ourselves in film. Suburbia was one of those rare occasions. It was directed by Penelope Spheeris who made the classic The Decline of Western Civilization documentary that covered the early Los Angeles Punk scene. That background helped shape the story as she also wrote the script. The story is about outsiders and tragedy, while critiquing the American dream.<br /><br />The film features Evan (Bill Coyne) who runs away from his alcoholic mom and ends up joining a bunch of Punks squatting in a house. They rob and steal and cause general anarchy in the neighborhood they live in while getting into it with the locals. The Punks are obviously the outsiders. Their looks and their lifestyle are all in defiance of society. Their lives are also filled with abuse and family dysfunction like Evan’s mom. One of the girls in the Punk house was also sexually abused by her father.<br /><br />The film is also a critique of suburbia and America. Evan reads his mother’s diary which said that suburbia was a perfect name for where they lived because it was a combination of suburb and utopia. Evan’s friend comments that little did his mom know that the suburbs would turn into the slums. That’s shown as they ride around the neighborhood, and then the squat they live in, which is part of an abandoned housing development. Further analysis would point to this as a comment upon the American Dream as well. The suburbs were where the middle class moved to buy brand new homes and start new lives. Things didn’t always turn out that way as shown by the Punk kids and their family experiences.<br /><br />The film has a very rough and neo-realistic look to it. The Decline of Western Civilization definitely influenced how the movie was shot.<br /><br />Suburbia also includes some great footage of LA Punk bands performing starting with D.I., followed by T.S.O.L. and The Vandals. Again the influence of The Decline of Western Civilization can be seen in these scenes. There are plenty of other Punk tunes in the background as well.<br />C

Young John Woo Sammo Hung Jackie Chan but story & fights are routine
John Woo is known for his Hong Kong action movies with plenty of gun play and iconic images. He actually got started making Kung Fu flicks like Hand of Death released by Golden Harvest in 1976.<br /><br />Woo obviously hadn’t developed his distinctive style as this is a run of the mill martial arts film. The story takes a familiar theme of the evil Manchus trying to take over the Shaolin Temple because it was seen as a threat to their rule over China. Doran Tan, a follower of Shaolin seek revenge upon one of his brethren that sold out to the Manchus.<br /><br />The opening fight sequence features a young Sammo Hung which for some reason they gave a huge set of fake teeth. Later Tan hooks up with a pre-eye surgery Jackie Chan.<br /><br />The action sequences are decent but nothing to write home about. The only real reasons to watch this are to check out the young Hung and Chan and because it’s one of Woo’s earliest releases.

A film about unintended consequences
Age of Ultron is about unintended consequences. When powerful people like the Avengers take action there is no way they can tell how they will affect others and the world. There are two such examples in the movie. First, the Maximoff twins of Pietro played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Wanda played by Elizabeth Olsen lost their parents to a Stark munitions in Sokovia which left with them extremely bitter and angry, and was why they were working with Hydra. Second, Tony Stark played by Robert Downjey Jr was still traumatized by his near death experience saving New York City from Loki and the Chitauri with a little boost from Wanda Maximoff. He convinces Bruce Banner played by Mark Ruffalo to help him create an artificial intelligence defense system for the world. That backfires however when it gains its own consciousness and becomes Ultron the antagonist in the film. The fact that both of these events were linked to Tony Stark showed that his ego could lead to as much bad as good.<br /><br />Like the best of the Marvel movies there are great action scenes. My favorite is when Wanda drives Banner crazy and Stark has to bring in a super suit to try to subdue the Hulk in Kenya.<br /><br />As usual there are a ton of Marvel Easter Eggs in the film. For example, Ultron goes to Ulysses Klaue played by Andy Serkis to buy vibranium which he stole from Wakanda. This was the first hint of the Black Panther. Ultron also cuts off Klaue’s arm which in the comics becomes his sonic cannon. In the Black Panther movie it’s replaced by a Wakandan ray gun. The film was also setting up the Infinity Wars films with Loki’s scepter having one Infinity Stone which was placed inside the Vision. Then Thor goes to a magical pool and sees all the Infinity Stones. At the end, Thor warns that someone was manipulating events with the Infinity Stones. That was Thanos. At a party at the start of the film the Avengers each try to pick up Thor’s hammer. Captain America played by Chris Evans is the only one that can make the hammer shift. That actually plays out in Avengers End Game. Wanda also gives each member of the Avengers a nightmare. For Thor he’s warned that his power will lead to the destruction of Asgard. That’s foreshadowing Thor: Ragnarok. For the first time the name Hawkeye is used when the Avengers hide out at Barton’s home and his wife calls him that. The Black Widow also calls Iron Man Shellhead which was how he was referred to in the Avengers’ comics.<br /><br />Don't forget the secret endings as usual.<br /><br />Overall, one of the best Marvel releases.<br />C

Interesting take on the famous Holmes story
This was a Hammer Films version of the classic The Hound of the Baskervilles story featuring Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes, Andre Morell as Dr Watson, and Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville. They added some littles twists. For one, Holmes tells Baskerville to be weary of the forces of evil. Not something you Holmes who believed in logic and deduction would usually say. He also didn’t do much investigating. Watson plays a prominent role in the story and isn’t the bumbling sidekick as portrayed in the Basil Rathbone films. In the end it was an interesting story and a good take on the Holmes character.

South Africans search for their musical hero and find a truly humble man
Searching For Sugar Man is about some record/music nerds that became obsessed with finding an obscure 1970s artist named Rodriguez. He released two albums which became a big hit in South Africa. No one knew his background but there was a story that he committed suicide during a concert. That led a few South African music enthusiasts to research his life and eventually led to the movie. They found far more than they were looking for.<br /><br />Half of the movie is about the South Africans and plays out like a detective story. While Rodriguez never sold anything in America he became a huge hit amongst white Afrikaans youth. They even claimed that his lyrics about rebellion and the establishment helped motivate them to protest against Apartheid. It really shows how powerful music can be. Later some of his fans decided they wanted to find out what happened to Rodriguez especially because they heard stories that he killed himself. That’s the mystery part of the film as they go through various record executives, producers, etc. to try to find him.<br /><br />It turns out that Rodriguez was from Detroit where he still lives to this day. The second half of the film is about him. He turns out to be a truly humble man who has done working class jobs his entire life. He was involved in different social movements and even ran for city council in Detroit. He never knew about his fame in South Africa until the guys behind the movie found him. That led him to travel to that country to the adoration of his fans. Showing his true character he gave away most of the money he earned performing in South Africa to his daughters.<br /><br />Really this is the reason to watch this film. Yes, there’s a lot of record nerdery but seeing Rodriguez in person and hearing him is really special.

This is a great satire about Los Angeles. Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov are struggling to find the money to open up their own restaurant and fall into killing swingers to steal their cash.

How women were objects in medieval Europe
Last Duel is about rape and power. It features Matt Damon and Adam Driver as friends turned enemies over the rape of Damon’s wife Jodie Comer. The story is interesting because it is presented in three chapters representing the point of view of each of the main characters. I read one review that said this was like a medieval soap opera and I have to agree with that. I was hoping there would be more action, but that only happens in passing. It’s not about the truth of the sexual assault either. On the one hand it’s about the relationships between the three and how they saw each other. Comer by far has the most interesting tale. Damon and Driver are caught up being knights and their rivalry. Their stories are very similar as a result. Comer on the other hand is all about life, socializing, the role of women and more. More importantly it’s about how power operated in medieval times. Comer is considered an object. Driver believed he could do whatever he wanted to women, while Damon thought it was just another slight by Driver against him rather than an act of violence against his wife. Her rape wasn’t even considered a crime because she was a woman. The main drawback is Ben Affleck as Damon and Driver’s count. He’s horrible. I didn’t buy his portrayal at all. If he was gone this would have been a much better film. Luckily he’s a side character.

Questioning the limits placed upon blacks in America
Something The Lord Made is about collaboration, friendship, medicine and race.<br /><br />Mos Def plays Vivien Thomas who was hired as a carpenter but quickly became the medical assistant to Dr. Alfred Blalock (Alan Rickman) at Vanderbilt University and then Johns Hopkins. Together they would do groundbreaking work in medicine on things such as the effect on trauma on the human body and heart surgery. The story captures the excitement of scientific discovery. The fact that Thomas was African American made their collaboration difficult.<br /><br />Blalock was impressed by Thomas’ intelligence and initiative. To others however Thomas looked like a janitor or other menial worker. There was the general racism of society as well. This is played out in several scenes. When Thomas and Blalock start work at Johns Hopkins for instance, they can’t walk in the front door together because the school was segregated. Another time Thomas was fixing up their new lab when another doctor walked in and told Thomas to get some coffee and donuts for him.<br /><br />The movie makes a strong comment upon overcoming the limits placed upon blacks in America.<br />C

About the dysfunction within the Tea Leoni-Adam Sandler family
Spanglish is supposed to be symbolic of the Mexican maid Paz Vega and her relationship with the rich family of Tea Leoni and Adam Sandler that she works for but that’s misleading. It’s really just about the Leoni-Sandler family and their dysfunction who get around 80% of the screen time. Leoni is annoying as a thoughtless character harming all kinds of people around her. This was probably Sandler’s first serious role and I wish he got more screen time. Cloris Leachman is Leoni’s mother that lives with the family and she has some great scenes landing a laugh several times. Vega shows great strength as a mother

Never bought into the love story
Moulin Rouge! is a musical about a love story between Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman that was never supposed to happen. I think the film actually got off to a messy start with just too much happening at the same time. First it starts with McGregor retelling his story, singing starts, John Leguizamo shows up as artist Toulouse-Lautrec with a stupid list, then dancing, more music, etc. The draw was that much of the music were pop hits such as Like A Virgin by Madonna. The big problem for me was that I never bought into the love story because it was too routine and predictable. Appreciated the music but didn’t care for the story.

Embrace the cheesiness and enjoy the goofiness that is Howard The Duck
Howard The Duck was one of the most unlikely Marvel characters. Howard was an alien from a different dimension who ended up on Earth. His comic was known for its satire of American society and Howard’s smart aleck comments. Even more unbelievable was that George Lucas decided to turn it into a full length film because he was a fan. The movie is incredibly cheesy and hard to take seriously. Ironically that captures some of the mood of the comic which was supposed to make fun of the comic book-hero genre.<br /><br />The secret to Howard The Duck is to enjoy the goofiness, embrace the cheesiness and just lay back and take it all in. He hooks up with a human woman? Sure! He fights a dark lord? Why not! It’s a one of a kind story and movie and nothing like you’d expect from a comic book based film.

2 characters who think they are righteous turn out to be petty and flawed
Election was a dark comedy featuring Reese Witherspoon as over achieving high school student Tracy Flick and Matthew Broderick as Social Studies teacher Jim McAllister who was determined to take her down a notch. Flick is running for school president unopposed until Mr. McAllister recruits injured football star Paul Metzier (Chris Klein) to run against her.<br /><br />The irony of the film is that Mr. McAllister and Flick see themselves as outstanding citizens, even righteous, but in truth they are both petty and flawed human beings. The story explores how those two personalities clash and it’s not as lopsided as one would suppose with an adult versus a teenager. It also pokes fun at the whole idea of school elections and government as being a farce. As Paul’s sister Tammy (Jessica Campbell) says, they are totally meaningless and won’t change anyone’s lives.<br />C

A masterclass in comedy
I saw The Other Guys in a movie theater when it first came out and I couldn’t stop laughing. It still holds up to this day. The start with Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson being supercops sets the mood. Then Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg start arguing because Wahlberg can’t stand him. This was largely improvised and shows their comedic talents. This is just the start of several iconic moments like Jackson and Johnson jumping off the top of a building chasing a group of thieves, Wahlberg talking about wanting to fly like a peacock, Michael Keaton slipping in titles to TLC songs, and more.

The best Ip Man film with a social justice theme
Inspired by the Ip Man films featuring Donnie Yen this one came out in 2013 and had Anthony Wong in the lead. The story is about an older Man who comes to Hong Kong with nothing and builds up his school and his name once again. The theme is about social justice more than Kung Fu as Man’s students struggle through 1940s-60s Hong King.<br /><br />I like Wong for the part. He has the right look and demeanor, plus he kicks butt. His main role is actually to dispense wisdom to his students. They represent the theme. The man who helped Ip Man set up the school and another student are both union leaders. A female apprentice also had a romantic belief in standing up for what was right based upon the books she read. A fourth member was a policeman. There are strikes, gangsters and more.<br /><br />All together this might be better than then the Yen films as a result because it’s not just a martial arts flick.

Bryan Brown is a top special effects artist asked by Cliff De Young of the Justice Department to help hide a mafia boss. Things go wrong for Brown however and he finds himself on the run in New York City. In order to escape he obviously uses his special effects skills which is the draw of the film. Some of them are simplistic like throwing a mannequin out the back of his van during a car chase which stops the cops cold because they think it’s a real person. Others are much more ingenious.

Vanity is Laura Charles and especially Julius Carry III as Sho’nuff the Shogun of Harlem. Sho’nuff wants to fight Leroy but he refuses at first.<br /><br />Every time Sho-nuff shows up it’s worth a laugh. He beats people up and has a crew of followers that chant out his name in a call and response routine he likes to do to re-enforce his power. His outfit which features football shoulder pads adds to his look. He is the most iconic figure in the movie. He also points to how most of the people in the film are like cartoon characters.<br /><br />This is one of those films you just need to sit back and laugh at because that was the point of the whole project.<br />C

How women had to overcome stereotypes and prove themselves as atheletes
During World War II when so many men went off to war including many star athletes the idea was birthed to have a professional female baseball league. That’s the basis of A League Of Their Own. While being a comedy the main theme is women’s rights<br /><br />The first thing the women considered for the league have to contend with is sexism. Jon Lovitz as Ernie Capadino is sent out to scout women who might be able to play. One of his criteria is that they have to look good because one of the draws of the league won’t just be baseball, but eye candy for men. Second, the league will have the women play in skirts to again show off their bodies. Third, they’re given etiquette lessons so that they act like proper women. Last, each one has their looks modified so that they look prettier. These all arose out of the fact that the baseball league was created by and for men. They wanted women to look at just as much as to see them play. The players therefore had to fit the stereotypes of women that men had for them. Their athletic skills were secondary.<br /><br />it’s against this background that women have to play. That’s what the majority of the film is about the women proving themselves as baseball players. They have to go through the cat calling, the low attendance, the doubts, etc. The movie is about how they persevered.<br />C

Strong female led action-spy-thriller
Salt was a very good spy-action movie featuring Angelina Jolie as Eveyln Salt. She was a CIA officer who was accused of being a Soviet double agent. That put her on the run and so the adventure is on. First, she tries to save her husband, then stop the assassination of the Russian president, then find the other agents and discover what they are up to. In the process she climbs on the outside of buildings, jumps onto moving trucks on a freeway, and blows up part of a church all while looking calm, cool, and collected.<br /><br />Overall this is a strong spy thriller. There’s plenty of exciting action and Jolie is very strong as Salt. There are not many movies that have female leads like this. The story also slow roles what the Russians were doing so you get new tidbits every couple scenes. Worth the time to watch.<br />C

Good man is pushed into doing a bad thing, an armored car heist
Armored is a heist film driven by a moral dilemma. The main character is Ty Hackett (Columbus Short) who works for an armored car company. He and his teenager brother live together. The brother is getting in trouble in school, Ty isn’t sure he can pay the bills, and a social worker shows up talking about putting the brother into a foster home. That drives Ty to join with some of his crooked co-workers to rob the business they work for. The theme is whether a good man like Ty will be brought down by his immoral friends.<br /><br />Ty makes a predictable choice when faced with his dilemma. Most of the movie is about his co-workers trying to kill him. Despite that it’s still got good action and tensions to see how it plays out.<br />C

John Travolta wants to take Jonathan Meyers on a wild ride
From Paris With Love is an odd couple-spy-action flick. Jonathan Meyers plays the straight guy and John Travolta is the loud mouth loose cannon. Even though Travolta is supposed to be a good guy he acts like some of his past criminal roles like the ones in Face/Off, Swordfish or The Taking of Pelham 123. The movie is funny because a lot of the first half is Travolta killing people and taking names with Meyers just looking confused about what’s happening. There’s a nice twist in the middle as well. It all makes for a very enjoyable film.

Stanely Kubrick Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall created an all-time classic with the Shining
The Shining contained four outstanding elements. First, it had great source material being based upon a Stephen King book. Second, it was directed and co-written by the legend Stanley Kubrick. Third, it featured Jack Nicholson as writer Jack Torrance in one of his most memorable roles along with Shelly Duvall as his wife Wendy who did an incredible job as well. Finally, it created such a remarkable mood with thrills and scares it has become an all time classic.<br /><br />The story centers around the Torrances and their young son Danny (Danny Lloyd) staying at an isolated resort in the Colorado mountains during the winter. The resort is haunted and Jack starts going insane. The son begins seeing visions and repeating the phrase “Redrum” over and over. Wendy is terrified.<br /><br />The movie creates plenty of great scenes. There's Danny seeing twin girls in the hotel, Jack cusses out his wife for disturbing his writing, and of course the "Here's Johnny!" scene between Jack and Wendy. The score also gets louder and louder during these moments. Things eventually shift from the creepy to the insane by the end.<br /><br />It’s really one of the best thrillers out there with great performances and direction.<br />C

Starts as a detective story Ends up being a descent into hell
Angel Heart blew my mind when it came out in 1987. It even inspired me to read the book that it was based upon. It is a story posing as a crime-detective drama, which is really a descent into pure evil.<br /><br />The setting is 1955 where Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) hires private detective Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) to find a former singer named Johnny Favorite. As soon as he starts on the case things begin to get weird. He hears voices in the air, the same tune on the piano gets replayed in the background over and over, and he keeps seeing a vision of an elevator. More importantly every person he talks to ends up getting killed. His investigation leads him to New Orleans where the plot thickens and more importantly gets weirder. Angel finds out that Favorite was involved in the occult, he ends up with a lover Epiphany (Lisa Bonet), and more dead bodies appear. When he ultimately solves the case it will shock you. If you watch the movie a second time you will catch a lot of foreshadowing hinting at the conclusion.<br /><br />I don’t want to give any spoilers but this is an amazing film. When you see it, it will stick with you, and make you think of the story over and over. It begins like a detective case and then goes deeper and deeper into death, depravity, and a kind of hell. There are hints of Film Noir in the story as well. Rourke of course is a detective which was used throughout the genre. He is also a man up against the odds, although the ones he is facing no Noir character ever had to go up against.<br />C

Gaping hole in the plot
Chain Reaction is a political thriller that mostly consists of Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz running from the cops.

Of course that would mean there would be no movie. It also points to how bad it is.

Much better than original
This was the second attempt to adapt Stephen King’s book of the same name into a feature film. I wasn’t a big fan of the original 1986 version so had hopes that this one would be better, and I was not disappointed.<br /><br />It starts with a family of Louis, Rachel, their daughter Ellie and son Gage moving into a new house in New England. They go for a walk and come across a group of kids with masks on having a funeral for their dead pet that they bury in the Pet Sematary which is part of the family’s property. Louis is the first to find out something is wrong with their new land when a kid he failed to save from mortal wounds temporarily re-animates and warns him “The barrier is not meant to be broken.” Of course that’s exactly what Louis does. He then has to pay the consequences for his action.<br /><br />The movie is not especially scary but is more like a thriller. The audience is waiting to see what comes from the Pet Sematary. I can say I was pleasantly surprised, and this film was much better than the original which I thought was pretty badly done.

John Woo's last Hong Kong movie and he went out with a bang
Hardboiled was John Woo’s last Hong Kong movie before he left for Hollywood. He went out with a bang.<br /><br />First Hardboiled had an iconic movie poster with Chow Yun Fat as Inspector Yuen Ho-yan holding a shotgun in one hand and a baby in another.<br /><br />Second it continued Woo’s love of gun play. The first scene has Yuen trying to arrest a gang selling guns in a restaurant that turns into a huge battle with great choreography and a lot of dead bodies. That includes one of Yuen’s fellow cops.<br /><br />Third the ending was completely over the top as a gang takes over a hospital and guns down people as they try to escape.<br /><br />The story revolves around Inspector Yuen trying to bust the gang that killed his friend in the restaurant at the start of the movie led by Anthony Wong as Johnny Wong. Wong is expanding his business against his rival Uncle Hoi played by Kwan Hoi-Shan. That includes recruiting Hoi’s own henchman named Alan played by Tony Leung.<br /><br />Woo revolutionized the action genre and Hardboiled is an example of how.

Terry Gilliam creates a fantasy movie with a bit of the absurd based upon Grimm stories
The Brothers Grimm were German folklorists that collected together some of the most famous European stories of their times such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty and more. Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame directed this film posing Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as the Brothers Grimm who were fake occult investigators but run into the real thing based upon Grimm stories.<br /><br />The ruse of the brothers is exposed at the very start as they enter a small town where people have complained of a haunting. They pretend to expunge the ghost using their team who set up an elaborate hoax in a barn. Then bad things begin happening for real such as a little girl in a road cloak disappearing which obviously came from the Little Red Riding hood story. The brothers are then charged with finding a group of missing children. The fake occult fighters end up having to fight real ghosts and demons.<br /><br />Gilliam was perfect for this story. He was known for his artistic vision from his Python days and continued that as a producer. He transformed the Grimm stories into a workable movie with a hint of the absurd with some of the characters like Peter Stormare as the crazed Cavaldi who looks unhinged in almost every scene he's in.<br />C

Saddam's rule was based upon ruthless and family
House of Saddam was an excellent series created by HBO. It starts with Saddam’s overthrow with the 2003 invasion and then flashes back to 1979 when Saddam assumed power from President Bakr. Part 1 has two main themes. The first is the ruthlessness Saddam showed as ruler getting rid of people left and right that were threats. The second is family. Saddam had two wings of his family which were rivals. Igal Naor played a convincing Saddam. He never showed too much emotion and portrayed a lot of what his character was thinking through facial expressions. The supporting characters were all great as well as they attempted to kow tow to Saddam to win his favor.

Too much talking and not enough action
Thunder Road was a Robert Mitchum production as he wrote, produced and starred in the film about bootleggers and moonshiners. Mitchum is a driver who has to deal with a boss trying to take over his family’s territory and the Feds who are trying to arrest him. The movie had a lot of potential. There were fast cars, chases, guns, and more. The problem was those elements weren’t exploited enough. Instead you had Mitchum talk to his girlfriend who just wanted a normal life or he talked to his mother about trying to keep his little brother out of the business. Too much dialogue and not enough action became the downfall of Thunder Road.

Loved the stories music and footage in this doc about The Clash
I usually don’t like documentaries dominated by talking heads because it is so traditional and boring. This is an exception. Perhaps it was the people they talked to like Mick Jones of The Clash or Don Letts or Steve Diggle of the Buzzcocks or perhaps it was all the great stories they had but I really liked this. They also had a lot of songs by the Clash and some old footage which is always great to hear and see.

A story of redemption and wanting
Jimmy Stewart breaks his brother Dean Martin out of prison and kidnaps Raquel Welch along the way. The story revolves around who will get Welch and Stewart trying to reform Martin. At first I didn’t think Welch would get that much of a role because she hardly talks and is just admired by all the men but she eventually comes into her own. The Stewart and Martin dynamic was a good one. Martin was a Confederate during the Civil War and destroyed a town which Stewart thinks was wrong. That leads to a lot of back and forth. Of course there’s a posse after them and some Mexican bandits are thrown in as well for the action elements. It all makes for a pretty good Western.

Tapped into sense of urban decay in the 70s while presenting some iconic images
One of the great movies of the 1970s. The Warriors are blackmailed for killing Cyrus who wanted to unite all of the gangs of New York City. As a result they have to fight their way from the Bronx at the very top of the city all the way back to their home in Coney Island at the bottom taking on all comers. The story is about survival and masculinity. It captured the sense of urban decay that was affecting many major American cities during the decade as well as the actual growth of gangs at the time.<br /><br />The film has several iconic images. One is the female DJ who makes announcements about the Warriors. All you see of her is a close up of her mouth and lips and some of the studio she’s in. Another is obviously the various gangs the Warriors face. Some are ridiculous like the Baseball Furies that wear pinstripe uniforms like the Yankees and paint their faces. They were like something out of a comic book. Finally there’s Luther (David Patrick Kelly) from the Rogues who set up the Warriors clicking two bottles together and saying “Warriors come out and playay.”<br /><br />There’s a reason why this is a cult classic. It was stylish without much of a budget. It created lasting images while portraying how many U.S. cities were in decline after white flight to the suburbs robbed the urban areas of their economic base leaving behind the poor and minorities.<br />C

Questions the justice system in the Old West
After making a name for himself in movies with a series of Spaghetti Westerns made by Sergio Leone in Italy Clint Eastwood returned to the United States to try to re-establish himself in his home country. Hang Em High was his first release back and was done by his own production company Malpaso Company. Eastwood plays Jed Cooper who is wrongfully lynched but survives. The tale is about him seeking revenge against the men who tried to take his life.<br /><br />The movie takes an unexpected twist when Cooper becomes a marshall and works for vengeful judge who hangs almost everyone that comes before him. Cooper starts questioning the law as a result which of course is not what a traditional Western would do.<br /><br />Hang Em High was part of a movement away from traditional Westerns in American cinema. Before there was always a clear difference between good and evil. Here the lines are blurred with the judge.<br />C

Highly entertaining
Leslie Cheung is the adopted son of the chief of the Wu-Tang Clan whose been trained since childhood to eventually become the leader. The problem is he’s irresponsible. To make matters worse he falls for Brigitte Lin the chief fighter of the cult the Wu-Tang is tasked with destroying.<br /><br />The movie is highly stylized. Much of it is filmed as if it is a dream. There’s also the traditional Hong Kong style wirework for the action sequences mixed in with some Japanese influence using graphic violence of people being chopped up in a few scenes.<br /><br />Cheung is great in his role. He’s so nonchalant. He reminds me a bit of Toshiro Mifune in Yojimbo. One minute he’s drunk and not giving a care in the world and the next he’s fighting off the cult with a bamboo branch.<br /><br />It’s all highly entertaining.

Debate over religion and life
Sunset Limited is based upon a two man play. You can tell that because it’s just Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones sitting in a small apartment and talking. The main topic is Jackson attempting to convince Jones who is an atheist that God exists. Jackson is convinced that faith will help Jones through the problems that led him to contemplate death. It’s a deep conversation that goes back and forth on the main topic and life in general. I’m not sure I liked the ending but it was definitely a provocative story.

The personification of addiction
Adam Sandler is a gambling addict who owes money all over. The story is about how he digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole. It’s like he’s on a rocket straight to hell. The choices he makes just makes you shake your head. Amazingly he ties his fate to Kevin Garnett who is in the movie playing himself. It’s an amazing performance by Sandler. He’d done a few serious roles before but this has to be his best. He just personifies addiction.

Good message about the excesses of the war on terror but bad execution
A terrorist cell is operating in Brooklyn motivated by U.S. policy against Iraq and it’s up to Denzel Washington as an FBI agent and Annette Bening as a CIA officer to try to stop it. The movie is a critique of the war on terror where Arabs are automatically considered suspicious and some are willing to take extreme measures and end people’s civil liberties to stamp out the threat. That’s also the reason why the story takes place in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan because the borough is far more multi-ethnic and therefore more people can be considered dangerous. The message is good but its execution is very mixed.<br /><br />I’m never going to turn down the opportunity to watch Denzel. I didn’t really care about Bening and Bruce Willis as an army general is a stereotype. The movie starts going big with the action scenes because Hollywood thinks it will be more exciting and therefore make more money. For example there’s a scene where a guy sets off a grenade. Somehow that blows up half a building and then the army shoots up the whole place. It’s an overkill of explosions and gunfire to try to create drama. The story also includes the threat of never ending terrorism which undermines its plot. In the end the negatives outweigh the positives.

I still listen to Alicia Keys to this day so I loved this old MTV Unplogged concert. She brings out some guests like Mos Def, Common and Damian Marley.

It takes running drugs for Clint Eastwood to figure out what's important in life
The Mule is the most unlikeliest of stories. Clint Eastwood starts running drugs to help his family and friends. Despite the dangerous job he’s doing Eastwood plays his character as a laid back old man who’s just driving the highways. Eastwood fits perfectly into the role because he literally is an old man. It leads to some funny situations like when he’s dealing with some gang members. What the movie is actually about is Eastwood’s self-realization. He finally figures out what’s important in life and tries to change things. That adds another human element to the story and makes for some emotional scenes. Eastwood is amazing. The movie is funny and touching and really worthwhile to see.

Sharky investigations corruption & ends up falling for a prostitute
Sharky’s Machine featured Burt Reynolds as Detective Sharky. He stumbles upon a case of corruption and prostitution connected to a candidate for governor of Georgia. The movie doesn’t play out like your usual police investigation however.<br /><br />There are several variations from the usual cop movie. First there’s a long stakeout of a high end prostitute called Domino (Rachel Ward). Sharky actually falls for her from just observing her from afar. What this is supposed to do is humanize the hardboiled cop. At the same time it completely objectifies Domino as a sex pot which is pretty common in Hollywood. The second thing is there is a lot of unexpected comedy thrown in. Sharky’s boss Friscoe (Charles Durning) for example gets enthralled by listening to a recording of a prostitute and her customer. He’s literally hanging on her every word as a bunch of cops stand around watching him and chuckling. Another time Sharky and his friend Nosh (Richard Libertini) are watching Domino and Nosh reminisces about when he paid for sex in Japan. He couldn’t remember whether he paid $1.30 or $1,300 for the night because he paid in Yen.<br /><br />Where the film falters is in the Sharky-Domino relationship. There it ventures into melodrama.<br /><br />Overall, a pretty good 80s cop movie.<br />C

Fun adventure bird movie with serious theme of how exotic animals are captured & sold
Rio is an animated adventure comedy. Hearing that you wouldn’t think it would have such a serious theme behind it, but it does. The movie turns out to be about the capture and sale of exotic birds.<br /><br />The start of the film is about how a parrot named Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) is captured in Brazil and sold to a woman named Linda (Leslie Mann) in Minnesota. That proves to be the main theme. Birds like Blu are taken all the time from around the world and then sold in different continents to be pets for humans.<br /><br />Like any good animated movie there are plenty of characters that Blue and Jewel run into from other birds to monkeys and even a dog played by Tracy Morgan. All together they get chased, they try to learn how to fly, dance, etc. It’s all good fun in this great cartoon movie.<br />C

Symbolizes the Allied cause in WWII vs the Nazis
Sahara represents the liberal democratic ideals that shaped the West’s view of World War II. It’s about the men that fought the Nazis that came from all over the world. There’s a group of American tankers led by Humphry Bogart. There are British soldiers, a French soldier, a South African, and a Sudanese Colonial soldier. It tried to portray that the whole world was united in its opposition to fascism. While that’s an inspiring message it’s not without irony. In one scene for example the Allied soldiers capture a German pilot who doesn’t want the Sudanese soldier touching him because he considers him an inferior race. This is what Americans thought about black people at the time as well which was why the U.S. military was segregated during the war. The second part of the film is about Bogart leading his ragtag force against a much larger group of Germans which is symbolic of the war when the film was made. The Allies were the underdogs and the Nazis controlled Europe and most of North Africa.<br /><br />Even without the message Sahara is a good war film. There’s tough going and then a dramatic battle. Bogart is great as the leader and the Allied soldiers present a cast of different characters.

Material girl grows up hunting vampires
The movie that started a whole new trend in the vampire genre plus a spinoff TV show. It was a totally new take on the coming of age story as well. Buffy begins by capturing many of the stereotypes of young white middle class materialism that would be featured in many other films of the 90s. Thus Buffy/Kristy Swanson and her friends are caught up on fashion, putting down others, etc. Her transformation into maturity is via hunting vampires! Yes she gives up going to the mall because she has the more important job of killing the undead. Plus the movie doesn’t always take itself seriously like seeing Paul Reubens as a vampire. He always brings a laugh. Overall Buffy was unique and enjoyable.

Emphasizes humanity during the apocalypse
Greenland pits the plight of a family of Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin and Roger Dale Floyd against the end of the world. Rather than focus on the apocalypse showing cities being destroyed, etc. the film instead shows a family split up as millions of people try to escape the unescapable. It makes the story much more human than your usual disaster flick and you empathize with the family’s situation especially when their little kid is separated from his parents. The theme of the movie is that the end can bring out the worst but also the best in people.

Story of sacrifice and brotherhood amongst soldiers
Steven Spielberg liked making epics and he definitely accomplished that with Saving Private Ryan. A Ranger unit led by Tom Hanks is sent far behind enemy lines in Normandy during World War II to try to find Private Ryan/Matt Damon and bring him back to safety after his brothers were killed in combat. It’s a story of sacrifice and brotherhood amongst soldiers.<br /><br />In terms of a war film it has probably the best version of the Normandy landing put to film. It captures the utter chaos, death and fear that the soldiers met as they hit the beaches under intense fire from the Nazis. The climax where Hanks’ unit takes on the Germans with tanks is harrowing as well.<br /><br />This was a human story however as shown by the premise of attempting to find and rescue Damon. The characters in Hanks’ unit start off opposed to their mission but eventually come to realize why they’re doing it. Their humanity is constantly brought up and questioned as well such as when they have to deal with a German prisoner or some French civilians.<br /><br />Finally Hanks delivers another outstanding performance. There’s a sequence where his men see his hands shaking. Before he was their fearless leader but then he showed he was just like them.<br /><br />It all adds up to a classic.

Good mummy offering by Hammer
The Mummy’s Shroud was one of Hammer’s later offerings on the Egyptian monster. It starts off with the background story of the young son of the pharaoh Kah To Bey played by Toolsie Persaud who was forced into exile when his father was killed. He and his party travelled the deserts for days until finally succumbing to the elements. One of his servants Prem played by Dickie Owen survived. The story then flashes to the 1920s when an archeology team attempts to find the tomb of Kah To Bey. Along the way, Claire, played by Maggie Kimberly warns that some of them won’t make it back. That takes place and of course when they eventually find the mummy there’s a curse, which takes its toll on all involved. The movie does a good job playing on tensions, and never falls into campiness.

Love can be like Jazz
Starting in the late 90s Hollywood began making black romance movies and Love Jones was at the top of that list. It’s about the on again off again relationship between Larenz Tate and Nia Long. It’s a great movie full of romance as Tate tries to woo Long with his intellect. It’s also not just your regular boy meets girl story as they go through ups and downs. Tate likes listening to Jazz and that’s what the story is like. It can be melodic one moment and not the next. It can be played by the book or improvised.

Probably Russ Meyer's most well known and best film
Beyond The Valley of the Dolls is probably Russ Meyers best and most well known film. It had an actual story with the help of Roger Ebert who did the screenplay. The plot is about the excesses of the Hollywood entertaining industry as a female band moves to Los Angeles to try to make it big. The movie explores the phrase sex, drugs and rock n roll. That means there are many predictable scenes such as Psychedelic Rock, parties, smoking, nudity, etc. The music is actually surprisingly good. There are plenty of cheesy moments as well such as the relationship between Marcia McBroom and Harrison Page. I think the movie went off the tracks with the over the top conclusion.

Roberto Benigni's lively performance drives the movie about three criminals in jail
Down By Law was a Jim Jarmusch film about three men Tom Waits, John Lurie and Roberto Benigni who were down on their luck and found themselves in the same jail cell. The movie is broken down into three parts. The first is about how they ended up incarcerated, the second is about their time in jail, and then the third is about their escape. Jarmusch stays focused upon the relationship between the three. Waits and Lurie for instance don’t like each other, while Benigni is the heart of the three. He’s funny and always has a positive attitude. One time for instance he gets Waits and Lurie to chant with him, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream” so he can practice his English. If not for him Waits and Lurie would be at each other’s throats. I liked this movie far more than Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise. The pacing was so slow in that film as Jarmusch focused upon the little things and pauses in life. This one was much better in all aspects, largely thanks to Benigni’s lively performance.

John Ford tried to cover the end of the Old West but 3 plots ruined it
James Stewart returns to a town to for the funeral of John Wayne. His death and the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is about the passing of the Old West. The problem is the movie had three storylines which was far too many. One moment Liberty Vance/Lee Marvin is robbing James Stewart. The next it switches to Stewart courting his future wife. The melodrama killed the Western. It’s not until the last quarter after Marvin is killed that it switches to democracy which relates to the main message. People were settling in the territory and wanted it to turn into a state which symbolized the coming of civilization, towns and cities and the end of the days of the Wild West. I congratulate John Ford for trying to pull off this plot but it just didn’t work.

Interesting but convoluted story
The End of Violence is an interesting but convoluted story. It centers around a secret government program to try to end violence. Bill Pullman stumbles across it and Gabriel Bryne is part of it. Thrown in with that is spoken word performances, a maid for Bryne and a bunch of other sideshows. Oddly most of the story is about Pullman dropping off the grad rather than the government effort. Still I found it a weird movie that I wanted to see what would come of it.

Knowing chess to defeat your enemy in Kung Fu
Offensive Shaolin Longfist is loose on story, it’s about a student seeking revenge for his master, and high on action. Both of these were common in Kung Fu flicks of the time and pretty formulaic. The start has a good dose of comedy thrown in when the student goes through his training. The fight scenes are the best because they’re fast and well choreographed. That was topped off by the climax which was over the top. It reminded me of a Japanese kids show where the three robots have to come together to defeat the bad guy as the three heroes have to unify their attack to beat the villain. In the movie they actually put it in terms of chess where you have to predict your opponent’s moves and counter them to win.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg dropped the ball when writing Pineapple Express
Pineapple Express was another product of the partnership of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The two were childhood friends and together they wrote Superbad, Green Hornet, The Watch, This Is The End, The Interview, Sausage Party, and Neighbors 2. Pineapple Express was their second collaboration. Some constants in their scripts were low brow humor, marijuana and man child characters. They got all three of those in this film. This movie has a lot of fans because of that but I always thought it was the worse one the two made. That’s because it’s not funny.<br /><br />Seth Rogen’s character Dale personified almost every part he ever played. He was 25 years old dating an 18 year old high school student and spent all day smoking weed as he delivered subpoenas to people. His partner in crime in the film was James Franco as Saul, Dale’s drug dealer. The story revolves around the two smoking a lot and trying to devise ways to escape a criminal named Ted (Gary Cole) that wants them dead. That’s supposed to provide the comedy. Dale and Saul are high and watching them should be fun, but it’s not.

A condemnation of religious zealots and the mob
The Crucible was Arthur Miller’s condemnation of Puritan Massachusetts and how that led to the Salam Witch Trials. What started off as girls dancing in the forest, something banned by Puritans who thought it was evil, quickly deteriorates into people accusing each other of devil worship with horrible consequences. I took it as not only an attack upon religious zealots but on the mob as well that turns on their fellow man out of fear and a sense of power. Kudos to another powerful performance by Daniel Day-Lewis. He plays a man of God but who will not stand for Christianity to be abused.

Some mindless fun as security robots go crazy and kill people
Chopping Mall is an 80s slasher classic. It focuses upon a mall that has installed robotic guards that go haywire. The cast included Paul Bartal as Paul and Mary Woronov as Mary who were both veterans of these types of movies.<br /><br />As usual with this genre it did not take itself that seriously. That means during the opening credits you get beauty queens in bikinis walking through the mall. There’s an Italian restaurant owner that is a total mess with food completely staining his white shirt. The main plot itself is ridiculous as well as a group of people have a party inside a store in the mall, and they get attacked by the robot security. This leads to all kinds of nice deaths like a woman getting her head blown up by a laser fired by a robot to a woman getting blown up and burned to death amongst others.<br /><br />For some mindless fun this isn’t bad and there are far, FAR worse releases from this period.<br />C

Godzilla has to defeat Seatopia that's being destroyed by nuclear testing?
Instead of aliens trying to invade the Earth again which had become a mainstay of Godzilla films this one is about people under the sea fighting against the surface people who threaten their life with nuclear tests. The people of Seatopia unleash Megalon upon the Earth which only Godzilla can defeat. Added to that is the Kaiju Gigan while Godzilla gets help from a robot Jet Jaguar. The story develops quickly and there’s little time spent on going into the characters or Seatopia. It’s all about getting right into the action. I have to say this is one of my least favorite Godzilla looks. They made the eyes really big so he would be more kid friendly. Still there’s nothing like seeing a bunch of guys in plastic suits battle it out. The story is also ironic. Godzilla was originally born through nuclear testing and the first movie was against nukes and weapons of mass destruction. In this one the people who are being destroyed by testing get defeated.

Questions what's the difference between good & bad in war on drugs
Deep Cover has a bad start but turns into a strong crime drama that questions what’s the difference between good and bad in the war on drugs.<br /><br />Laurence Fishburne is an undercover cop trying to bust a Los Angeles drug gang. The films depiction of drug dealing is so laughable it’s like a cartoon. After that things get much better as Fishburne takes over. He just has a presence about him that draws you in. He also does a voice over and has back and forth with Victoria Dillard that gives Deep Cover a neo-Film Noir feel to it. Jeff Goldblum is Fishburne’s partner in crime and didn’t do his usual neurotic character. The film is ultimately a condemnation of the war on drugs. It argues that the war isn’t about stopping drugs it’s all about politics.

Jurassic Park had become a cliche to watch dinosaurs chase people
When Jurassic Park turned into a franchise it became a cliché. Every movie was just a variation of the first. People go to the dinosaur island. Ooh and aww over the animals, act stupid, then get chased and have to escape death. It’s just a matter of watching which dinosaur is going to do what to each person that sets foot on the island.<br /><br />The second movie The Lost World brought back Jeff Goldblum from the original to be the lead. This time they had Sam Neill return. He tries to tell the other people what to do when facing dinosaurs and they all ignore him to their own detriment. In fact, they really play up the stupid amongst the cast. This has been a mainstay of all the Jurassic Park films. Humans ignore nature and suffer the consequences.

Obsession verging on fanaticism
The Bedford Incident is a Cold War drama featuring Richard Widmark as a naval commander obsessed with hunting a Soviet submarine in the North Atlantic. How far will he go is the source of the tension in the story. Widmark is great verging between being a hard nose officer and a fanatic. For some reason Sidney Poitier is thrown in as a reporter on the boat, but you didn’t even need him. I really liked the ending where Widmark finally reflects upon his actions even though it’s done silently.

Everything you wanted to know about Hammer Films
Flesh and Blood is a Hammer Films documentary about its famous horror movies. It’s narrated by Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing which gives it immediate provenance. The film is split between talking heads and clips from some of the company’s releases. The best parts are actually the flops and excesses such as the push to have more flesh to meet demand and competition in America and the move towards exploitation flicks. If you want to know about Hammer and its legacy this is the movie to watch.

Takes patience to get through this arty independent film meditating on life
A Ghost Story is an arty independent film meditating on life. Casey Affleck comes back as a ghost and observes life inside his house after he passes away. He can’t talk so he can only observe. The filmmakers try to make the audience feel the way Affleck does by making them sit through Affleck watching his wife prepare and eat a salad. All you hear are the fork hitting the plate and her chewing. I’ve never understood why some artists have done this. They feel the power of art can make people feel emotions so they decide boredom is something others should experience. Yes, I want to watch a movie and get bored. Wow cinema is so amazing. Thankfully the movie picks up afterward. It ends up going into how things come and go from different families that live in the house to people passing away. The slow pace continues in sections and the arty feel is felt throughout both of which detract from the movie. It’s definitely not for everyone. You really need patience to get through it.

Very weird original and surprisingly good film
The Endless is a really weird movie in a good way. Two brothers, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead, who escaped a cult decide to return. They find birds flying around in weird places, locked doors, notes posted on the wall, and more. It just keeps getting stranger from there. That’s the allure because you want to see what all these events are leading to. The story is very original and creates a real mood. I thought it was great and a real surprise.
