They're so unhappy with their marraige they decide to try to kill each other
Mr & Mrs Smith is a very sexy and suave story of a dysfunctional marriage taken to a new level because the couple John (Brad Pitt) and Jane (Angelina Jolie) are both assassins. Their anger at each other gets so bad they try to kill each other.<br /><br />The movie works two ways. First, it lays out the lost romance between the two. They even go to a marriage therapist which leads to some great scenes where their dysfunction is readily apparent. Second, their relationship explodes and that leads to some great action scenes like when they destroy their house trying to shoot each other and raises the question of whether they can overcome their differences or whether the gun will be the answer. The movie obviously takes the idea of a domestic disturbance to a new level.<br /><br />An added bonus is John’s friend Eddie (Vince Vaughn) who provides some extra laughs. He always complains about his ex-wife while he lives with his mom.<br />C

Only for completists as only 2 of 4 movies are any good
Meiko Kaji played a number of famous exploitation roles in 1970s Japanese cinema. There was the Stray Cat Rock series about a girl gang. Lady Snowblood a sword wielding woman out for revenge, and Matsu in the Scorpion series. This collection has all four of the movie in that series #701: Scorpion, Jailhouse 41, Beast Stable, and Grudge Song. She plays Matsu a prisoner in a woman’s prison who constantly rebels and attempts to escape. That’s because the prison is run by sadistic, abusive perverts, and most of the other prisoners resent her. The movies have a mix of action and sex. The problem was the series got drawn out too long and only the first two releases are really any good.<br /><br />Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion starts off by showing her bad streak with an escape at the start and how she ended up in prison being set up by a cop. There was some real production value put into it by director Shunya Ito. For instance, when Matsu remembers her time with the policeman it appears as a blue dream in the upper part of the screen. Then when she realizes her fate her hair is spread out with a lighted background that shines bright read to symbolize her anger. Unfortunately it has probably the weakest story of them all. Matsu is a rebel so the guards try to break her over and over again, and she’s resented by many of her fellow prisoners as well leading to plenty of conflicts. That means girl fights, beatings, torture, nudity, etc. The ending redeems a lot of the problems with the film and establishes Matsu as a real bad ass.<br /><br />Second in the series was Jailhouse 41 which focused upon an escape attempt by Matsu and some of her fellow prisoners. It has much of the same style as the original. In the opening for example the warden comes into Matsu’s cell where’s she’s chained on the floor to gloat at her situation. There’s a close up of Matsu’s face to show her utter contempt for the man with the man standing tall over her to symbolize the power he had over her. There’s also a supernatural element as the escaped prisoners run into a spirit which takes each woman through their crime. Also like the first movie Matsu doesn’t really get to show her stuff until the very end and puts in a great performance. This one moves beyond just pure exploitation like the first. The prisoners and their journey is the focus so it’s really a women’s story about them trying to deal with their past and hoping that will free them.<br /><br />In Beast Stable Matsu is finally out of prison but she’s a wanted woman.<br /><br />The movie has an amazing start as two policeman see her on the subway and try to arrest her but she stabs one and then cuts off the arm of the other after he tries to handcuff her. The opening credits have her running through the streets with a man’s severed arm shackled to her. Unfortunately that is the best part of the movie and it only lasts for about 10 minutes.<br /><br />The plot itself is bizarre. Matsu takes up with a woman named Yuki who is a prostitute, has an incestuous relationship with her brain damaged brother and his pregnant with his baby. This makes it decidedly different from the first two in the series that centered around prison life with sadistic and perverted guards and vicious prisoners. Who foe is this time turns out to be the local Yakuza (gangsters). In the process they throw in the usual perverted sex scenes since this is exploitation.<br /><br />The problem is nothing really happens. Things just meander along. That might make Beast Stable the worse in the series.<br /><br />Finally there’s 701’s Grudge Song. Again, the writers struggled with the plot like the previous movie Beast Stable. Taking the story outside of prison seemed to confuse the company as to what to do with the character. This time Matsu is on the run from the police and a man takes her in and helps her. That’s because he was tortured by the cops and hates them as much as Matsu.<br /><br />The problem is 60% of the movie is Matsu and the man sitting in rooms together looking at each other. It’s absolutely boring. Eventually, Matsu gets caught and is sent back to prison but it’s only marginally better.<br /><br />Overall, that means this collection is a very mixed bag. The first two films are great, the third is a dud, and the fourth is somewhere in the middle. Unless you’re a completist then buying this set isn’t necessary.<br />C

Fast & Furious had become a formula by now but it still worked
The Fast and Furious series had become a formula by this time. Paul Walker was still a cop and Vin Diesel the outlaw and yet they worked together. That meant they drove supped up cars, hit nitrous buttons, and were involved in a lot of chases to bring down the bad guy, this time a drug lord played by John Ortiz. What was different was this was the first in the franchise that featured all the main cast members Diesel, Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Gal Gadot, and Sung Kang. If you enjoy the franchise you’ll enjoy this fourth movie. It’s nothing new but it’s still fun.

Good follow up to 1st film with spoofs costumes and action
The success of the first Charlie Angel’s movie inevitably led to a sequel, Full Throttle. This one might be labeled Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. That was shown by the inclusion of some spoofs. The start for example is a take-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Later they pose as members of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The costume play becomes a mainstay of the film afterward as the Angels get to play BMX racers, nuns, ship welders, and more.<br /><br />At its heart however Full Throttle was just like the TV show and the first movie. It was three smart, sexy and determined women. Basically if you like the first film the second one was just as good.<br />C

Doesn't work as a drama or comedy
Stardust Memories was not one of Woody Allen’s strongest releases. It’s about art, love and fame as Allen plays a celebrity who has to deal with his fans, critics and series of women. The problem is that the drama isn’t always interesting and none of the comedic parts are funny. Even Allen’s usual neurotic self-deprecation doesn’t work here. The drama falls flat as well. For instance, one of the reoccurring scenes of the film is people walking up to Allen and asking for autographs and for him to make appearances for them. Yes, that’s a big part of being famous but it doesn’t make it an appealing story.

Golgo is a man of few words but plenty of testosterone
Guns, sex, action and religion. That’s the basis for Golgo 13: The Professional which was based upon the famous manga. You have Golgo and his M16 sniper rifle. He seduces beautiful women leading to plenty of sex scenes and nudity. He gets into plenty of fights and gun battles and a series of assassins is sent after him. Golgo’s name is based off of Golgotha where Jesus was crucified. That religious overtone is apparent when Golgo 13 goes to a church and other images. Golgo himself is a man of few words but full of testosterone and action. It all makes for an entertaining mix.

Not funny Who thought a kid struggling to get into Stanford would be a comedy?
In Orange County Colin Hanks was Shaun a slacker surfer High School senior. He wasn’t doing much with his life until he found a book by Marcus Skinner and that changes his life. He decides he wants to become a writer like Skinner and attend Stanford where he teaches at. The movie focuses upon Colin’s attempt to get into Stanford despite his friends who are a bunch of surf bums, his mom who is an alcoholic, his dad who remarried and has no real connection with his son, and his brother who is a drug addict. The problem is this is supposed to be. a comedy but it’s not funny. Instead, Shaun is just rather sad. You also had to wonder about the writers who thought it a good idea to make a funny story based upon someone not making it into Stanford. That really sounded like most people could relate to and would see comedy in.<br />C

Story of sacrifice and determination but pace was too slow
Marooned is one of the early space disaster movies. A space capsule has problems trying to return to Earth and the government has to rescue them. The start reminds me of 2001 because they have these long extended shots of the astronauts working outside their ship in space. This was still a brand new concept at the time so the film wanted to show how amazing it was. In fact, that would characterize most of the movie which had long dragged out scenes where people were supposed to be in awe of the space program. I appreciated the story of sacrifice and determination but it just took too long to develop.

Making fun of the sport of boxing
The Great White Hype is a funny comedy about professional boxing. Samuel L. Jackson plays the manager of the heavy weight champion played by Damon Wayans. Jackson is the ultimate promoter and manipulator. He was likely based upon Don King. The title comes from the fact that Jackson needs to find a white contender to boost ratings and profits for the next fight which he finds in Peter Berg.<br /><br />The movie has everything. There’s the women. There’s Wayans’ entourage. There’s all the yes men around Jackson. Jeff Goldblum even plays an investigative reporter looking into Jackson. Most importantly the jokes work. Berg for example keeps saying he’s boxing for the homeless in both America and the United States as if they’re two separate countries.

Another great from the Shaw Brothers
Two young princes Lung Ti and Tung-Shing Yee seek revenge for their murdered father. Ti was trained in Shaolin Kung Fu while Yee has a magic sword. There’s a bit of sorcery thrown into the story with a ghost. There’s a comedic element with the monks called the Three Holy Fools that raise Ti as each has exaggerated features and jokes around. Most importantly the fight scenes are top notch such as when Yee has to take on a phalanx of monks to prove himself. It uses some of the classic Hong Kong wirework.

Story ends up dragging and going nowhere until twist at end
Shutter Island was Martin Scorsese stepping into the psychological thriller genre with his new favorite actor Leonardo DiCaprio as U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels. He travels to Ashecliffe Hospital on Shutter Island to look into the disappearance of a patient named Rachel Solando.<br /><br />The story has two parts. The first is the investigation into Solando. The other is about Daniels. He has deep psychological problems. First, he’s scarred from seeing the Dachau concentration camp during World War II. Second, his wife died and he has visions of her all the time. She was murdered by an arsonist that Daniels is obsessed about finding.<br /><br />The problem is that eventually it feels like the story gets stuck and goes nowhere. That’s because there’s a twist at the end and to not reveal it they just drag things out. It’s very unsatisfying conclusion.<br />C

Starts off good and then becomes like a TV show
Z Storm is about the Hong Kong police investigating one of their own Ka Tun Lam who is a rising star but reportedly corrupt. It leads to a much bigger scandal. Louis Koo is in charge of the investigation. He has an intensity to his role and the story creates a good rivalry between him and Lam. The movie is a police procedural with a good amount of tension. On the other hand it’s completely predictable and ends up feeling like a TV show at times especially with the preachy closing statements.

Has lost some of its luster as I've gotten older but still a fun ride
I really loved the whimsical feel of this movie when it came out but it’s lost some of its luster as I’ve gotten older. The story is about Pee Wee having to hunt down his stolen bike and all the people he meets along the way. First off, you have to buy into Pee Wee’s character to like the film. He’s like a big kid and not all adults will go for that. I still do. It’s just that not all the situations he finds himself into were as funny now when I’m an adult compared to when I was a teenager. It’s still fun though and that’s what mattered in the end.

Chris (Mark Wahlberg) is forced back into the smuggling game to save his brother in law Andy (Caleb Landry Jones) from a group of gangsters led by Tim (Giovanni Ribisi). Chris sets up a plan to bring in counterfeit dollars from Panama. Nothing goes right however in this classic story of a man up against the odds.<br /><br />The movie does a good job constantly ratcheting up the pressure upon Chris. While he’s gone Chris’ wife constantly gets threatened by Tim. Panama is no better as the gangster he’s supposed to get the fake money from forces him into a robbery while Andy runs off to do a side job.<br /><br />Of course in a story like this Chris also has to seek revenge against the people that wronged him.<br /><br />That means everything pretty much plays it by the books but there is a twist at the end that highlights Chris’ skill as a smuggler that makes things not quite so routine.<br />C

Questions what did Israel's eye for an eye strategy against Palestinian terrorists cost?
Munich is about the aftermath of the 1972 terrorist attack upon members of the Israeli Olympic team in West Germany by the Black September group. 11 athletes were taken prisoner and all were killed. Israel decided to take revenge against leading Palestinians with an eye for an eye approach. Eric Bana as Mossad agent Avner Kaufman leads a team tasked with the assassinations across Europe. The movie asks at what cost did Israel take this approach.<br /><br />The movie raises questions about the Israeli policy. For instance, at one point Avner said he preferred his team used bombs to kill Palestinians rather than guns because no one hears about shootings but bombings spread terror. They’re doing what they condemned. Another time Black September responded to the team by sending a series of letter bombs highlighting that terror just leads to terror and doesn’t deter or decrease it. Towards the end the team notes that Black September’s leadership had been decimated but new ones emerged and other groups were formed and the bloodshed never stopped.<br /><br />Palestinians are also given an opportunity although most times they’re just getting knocked off. In one scene Avner is posing as a European Leftist and is in a hallway with a Palestinians and they discuss statehood. Avner says there are plenty of Arab states Palestinians can go to. The Palestinian rebuts that by saying that a homeland means everything even if takes decades to achieve.<br /><br />In the end, the mission takes an unexpected toll on Avner as well, which emphasizes the personal cost of the strategy.<br />C

A reflection on mortality with jokes
Funny People is a Judd Apatow film about mortality. Movie star comic Adam Sandler is told that he has cancer and decides to deal with his past with ex-love Leslie Mann and the future struggling comedian Seth Rogen. Sandler and Rogen have some real moments besides the funny ones. For instance Rogen plays Sandler a country song that’s supposed to keep his spirits up but it really hits him. At the same time Sandler and Rogen both get to be manchildren which they excel at and make a lot of low brow jokes. Still this is one of Apatow’s more serious films due to the subject matter.

Ragnarok was the destruction of Asgard as the movie wipes out the old & brings in the new
Thor Ragnorak borrowed heavily from Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man being a comedy action flick. Taika Waititi also did a fantastic job as the director. Ragnorak came from Norse mythology and was based upon a huge battle that would wipe away Asgard and the gods and lead to a new world. That’s what the movie focused upon saying goodbye to the old and introducing something new.<br /><br />The comedic tone of the movie was set in the opening scene. Thor is in a cage talking to a skeleton about what a hero he’s been. Then he faces Surtur who is supposed to initiate Ragnarok. He tries to listen to Surtur’s spiel about how he is going to end Asgard, but Thor is spinning around on a chain and tells Surtur to wait until he’s come back around and can look at the demon. Once he’s got all the information about Ragnarok Thor decapitates Surtur to try to stop the apocalypse. That’s accompanied by Led Zepplin’s “Immigrant Song.” and a big fight. That’s what the entire film will be like.<br /><br />The theme of the old and the new are played out throughout the film. There’s the disappearance of Odin, the appearance of his long lost daughter Hela the Goddess of Death (Cate Blanchett) who wants to assume the throne in Asgard, Thor getting his hammer destroyed, the introduction of Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), and re-uniting with Hulk/Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo). These are all brought together in the end with Sutur showing up again. Those pose the questions of whether Hela can rule Asgard or will it be destroyed in Ragnorak?<br /><br />Stand out moments are the acting by Blanchett who plays Hela to the hilt. Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster is constantly hilarious. Also to the set designers who introduced a lot of patterns and colors when Thor travels to the planet Sakaar inspired by Marvel’s greatest artist and co-creator Jack Kirby. Finally, the entire time Thor is on Sakaar is hilarious.<br /><br />Thor Ragnorak really re-set the entire character. The first Thor was a good mix of action with a little comedy thrown in as well. Thor Dark World was a bit of a disappointment. Ragnorak was a smash and took the laughs to a new level.<br />C

Just as fun to watch today as when I saw it as a kid
I actually saw King Kong vs Godzilla as a Sunday matinee double feature when I was a kid. Godzilla was a mainstay on weekend TV when I was growing up, so when they had one of the films in an actual movie theater I couldn’t pass it up. The movie is still good after all of these years.<br /><br />King Kong vs Godzilla was the third in the franchise, directed by Ishiro Honda who did the original Godzilla film along with several others plus other Japanese kaiju releases such as Rodan, Mothra, and War of the Gargantuas. This however is the American version of the film, which was re-edited and added an American TV news caster Eric Carter played by Michael Keith who worked for the United Nations as the narrator. The movie itself actually started with an American writer Willis O’Brien who gave the idea to John Beck who eventually sold it to Toho Studios.<br /><br />The story revolves around a submarine reviving Godzilla who immediately attacks Japan. On the other hand, a Japanese businessman wants his own monster and funds an expedition to a remote island in search of one. First a giant octopus shows up, and eventually they find Kong who they drug and take back to Japan. There he awakens, escapes and comes into battle with Godzilla.<br /><br />The movie was a departure from the first two Godzilla movies. The originals played upon the threat Godzilla posed to Japan and the horrors that ensued. This one had plenty of comedy. The Japanese businessman for example that thinks he owns Kong is a buffoon. The two Japanese explorers that find Kong also provides jokes. On the other hand, some sequences are not supposed to be funny but they are like when they play tribal music to put Kong to sleep in Tokyo.<br /><br />The two monsters are a contrast in beasts. Kong is considered a smart and thinking animal, while Godzilla is supposedly simple minded. In a takeoff of the U.S. original, Kong takes a Japanese woman from a tram and then climbs atop the Japanese parliament building, the National Diet with her in his hand.<br /><br />Basically this movie set the standard for all that would follow. Godzilla would show up. The humans would try to stop him, but then another monster would arrive and there would be a series of giant battles. This started with the previous film Godzilla Rides Again, but the style and the extensive use of miniatures used in King Kong vs Godzilla could easily be transferred to any of the following movies all the way up to the current ones.<br />C

I will never tire of this movie
This was the second in what I call Will Farrell’s sports trilogy which began with Talladega Nights and ended with Semi-Pro. It pitted Farrell as the bad boy of pro-skating against Jon Heder who was the poster boy, good guy. They are forced to work together as the first male skating duo. You just laugh thinking about that combination and plot.<br /><br />There are so many good scenes in this film it’s hard to pick the best ones. Farrell being drunk and doing Grublets On Ice. The two training together and more. The added bonus is that they look completely ridiculous skating. Also if you pay close enough attention you can figure out why their coach Craig T. Nelson wanted a team of two male skaters. I will never tire of this movie.

How much can two losers screw up a secret job in New York City?
Made was Jon Favreau’s directorial debut. He also co-produced, co-wrote and co-stared in the film with his friend Vince Vaughn. Favreau plays Bobby Ricigliano. His life is a struggle. He works for Max Reuben (Peter Falk) who has a wide range of businesses in Los Angeles. His girlfriend Jessica (Famke Janssen) is an exotic dancer, but he can’t stand people touching her. Jessica also has a little daughter. He takes care of his friend Ricky (Vaughn) who has even less going on than he does. Not only that but Ricky’s an idiot which causes all kinds of grief for Bobby. The movie is about their friendship through thick and thin.<br /><br />The heart of the story is about Max sending Bobby and Ricky to New York for an unknown job. It turns out to be a comedy of errors. That starts with Ricky paging the stewardess non-stop. First he asks what the movie is going to be. When he doesn’t like the feature he’s told there are videos available. Then he rings her again and asks whether the videos will cost money. Then he rings her again to see if the drinks are complimentary. You get the picture. That’s just a hint at how bad things will get when they get to New York. Despite all that Bobby and Ricky remain friends.<br /><br />The story takes two major twists which are unexpected, especially at the end, which is nothing like the rest of the film. It’s what keeps the story going and the movie interesting.<br /><br />For Favreau’s debut as director this is pretty good. He and Vaughn also hold down the story as the two leads, and there’s plenty to laugh at especially with Ricky’s antics.

The excesses of Rock N Roll
Oliver Stone movies are hit and miss with me but this one really worked. The start captured the zeitgeist of the 1960s in southern California with all the young people, the art, the experimentation, the drugs which marked the decade. This would all lead to The Doors. Their music seemed the perfect soundtrack to the hallucinogenic generation. At its heart the story is about the excesses of Rock N Roll and the elevation of the individual over the group. The main drawback was I did not buy Meg Ryan as a hippie girl. She looks straight and square no matter what.

Very funny and caring comedy-drama
This is a very low key and very funny and caring comedy-drama. Meryl Streep plays an aging singing star. Wait to you hear her voice. What until you see the face of her pianist Simon Helberg! She is a real character full of passion. On the other hand there’s real love between Streep and her companion Hugh Grant. He dotes on her and most importantly protects her as well. The three main characters become a real family by the end. It’s those elements that make Florence Foster Jenkins go.

Totally bizarre story about magic
Puppet Master is a totally bizarre story about magic. Four people are psychically brought together in a hotel after a man they knew died. They are then hunted by animated dolls. The dead guy also keeps popping up around the hotel with a big smile on his face. It’s hard to take seriously sometimes however as the puppets are only about 1-2 feet tall and yet the people struggle to fight them as if they couldn’t just pick them up and smash their little heads into the wall. Of course then there wouldn’t be much of a movie. Eventually the whole story is revealed. All the oddball elements explain why this has become a cult classic.

Move goes nowhere fast
For a B movie, okay this might be a C movie, Another Son of Sam had some kind of budget. The second scene is set in a night club where singer Johnny Charro gets to do an entire song.<br /><br />What the film is actually about is a crazed killer named Harvey who escapes from a mental institution and goes on a killing spree. It tries to build tension with a bunch of short cuts of the killer with sharp music over it in between the regular dialogue between the characters. For example, a woman is walking through a park, then there’s a cut to a close up of the killer’s eyes, back to the woman, and then a close up of the killer’s hand covered in blood followed by the woman running away. The director Dave Adams really liked the close-up of the killer’s eyes as he would use it throughout the movie. The problem is a lot of his transitions were really bad due to poor editing.<br /><br />The movie quickly degenerates into a stand off inside a girls’ dorm at a college. The police can’t seem to find Harvey as he walks up and down one flight of stairs. Then there’s a ridiculous SWAT episode as well.<br /><br />Overall, the editing is poor and the story gets boring real fast.

Movie plays like a comic book with overdone action scenes & moralism
The Untouchables was based upon famed Prohibition agent Eliot Ness and his crusade to bring down famed Chicago gangster Al Capone. The film was directed by Brian De Palma and based upon a book of the same name. The movie features Kevin Costner as Ness, Robert De Niro as Capone, Sean Connery as Officer Jimmy Malone, and Andy Garcia as Agent George Stone. It is a classic good vs evil, crime drama.<br /><br />The movie follows the regular story arc. Ness struggles at first with his job. He runs into Officer Malone and they start the father-son, mentor-mentee relationship as Malone knows the streets of Chicago unlike Ness who is from out of town. Then Ness gets his big break when its discovered that Capone hasn’t filed an income tax return for years and that was the way to prosecute him. It’s also got drama such as when Ness sets up an ambush for Capone bringing in illegal alcohol from Canada into the U.S. Ness and his men even get to ride horses in that scene which harkens back to the Westerns which always had a stark contrast between good and bad. The directing for that sequence however is really bad and makes it more like a comic book than something that might have really happened. There’s another scene involving a shootout and a baby that is also way overdone. De Palma has Ness look at a baby for 5 minutes just beating the audience over the head with the fact that the kid is going to get caught in the middle. These two scenes show what’s wrong with the film. It’s too much of a moralism story and the action is overwrought.<br />C

Run down of the history of Cypress Hill
I remember when the first Cypress Hill album dropped. I had it on cassette and played that tape to death. I got to see them live once as well. This is a documentary about the history of the band. It’s traditional with talking heads and archival footage. There’s a lot of music included which is great. It also has a lot on the second part of the band when they moved into live musicians and added other elements which I didn’t really know about. It’s enjoyable despite being limited by its format.

It's a thrill ride
Man From Nowhere is a Korean crime-action movie. Won Bin is Cha Tae-Sik, a pawnshop owner in an apartment building. Kim Sae-ron is So-mi a lonely little girl in the apartment that befriends him. Her mother steals some heroin and gets Tae-Sik and So-mi caught in the middle of a bunch of gangsters.<br /><br />The movie is a real thrill. Tae-Sik turns out to have special skills from a previous life and the movie highlights all of the as he literally cuts a swath through all the bad guys he runs into. The action is top notch and some of the best I’ve seen in quite some time. So-mi is really endearing. She doesn’t play a cry baby but just a desperate little girl given a bad hand in life.<br /><br />This is one of the best action movies I’ve seen in some time.

Powerful and compelling story that plays upon 2 stereotypes of Catholic nuns and priests
Doubt is a powerful movie playing upon two stereotypes. One is of the evil old nun who terrorized kids at Catholic school. The other is of the pedophile Catholic priest. The story features Meryl Streep as the principal of a Catholic school who accuses Philip Seymour Hoffman a priest of having an improper relationship with Joseph Foster the only black child at the school. This is one of Streep’s standout performances. She plays the controlling personality to a T. Hoffman cares for Foster because he knows the pain he is going through. It provides a stark dichotomy in the film and also sows doubt about who is telling the truth and who is not. It’s a very powerful and compelling story.

Waititi spoofed the entire Marvel Universe
I saw this movie on opening night and thought it was amazing. It made me laugh. It made me cry. I think one big thing that people miss about the film is that it is a satire of the superhero genre. This is something director Taika Waititi has become known for with movies like JoJo Rabbit where a young Hitler Youth believes that good old Adolph shows up at his house to talk to him while he makes friends with a Jew.<br /><br />The opening has a story about Thor which reduces him to an action hero and nothing else. That of course is the trope all comic book protagonists follow. Yes they might have girlfriends and families, etc, but in the end they are just about the big confrontations that happen at the end of every story. Here Waititi just takes that entire thing to task. For example, Thor saves the Guardians of the Galaxy but then destroys the temple of the people they were supposed to help while the new Asgard has been reduced to a tourist trap to fund itself.<br /><br />Waititi was given control of his second Marvel movie and decided to spoof the entire franchise and he did an amazing job There is so much ridiculous over the top things happening in this movie. It is all highly entertaining and has to be one of my favorite in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. I couldn’t stop laughing.<br /><br />Not the whole movie is like that however. The ending is very touching and personal about Bale’s character and Thor. It will hit you in the gut.<br /><br />If you can’t tell I truly love this film.

Always pushing the border of good taste but pulls it off to hilarious effect
The Dictator was one of Sacha Baron Cohen’s funniest movies. He plays the fictional Arab dictator Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen of the country of Wadiya in North Africa. He is an idiot but a very dangerous one. For instance, he takes advice from cartoons on his nuclear weapons and holds his own Olympic games where he shoots his competitors and the referees to make sure he wins.<br /><br />The movie is constantly pushing the boundaries of the ridiculous and good taste. For instance, when Aladeen arrives in New York he has a parade riding a camel while a fake Arab version of Dr. Dre’s The Next Episode plays. He’s then introduced to his American security expert Clayton (John C Reilly) who says he hates all Arabs including the blacks, the Jews, and the people from the film Avatar, and then tells the dictator that he should go see the Empire State Building before a terrorist blows it up. Then when his double gives a speech to the United Nations he pees in a water pitcher, drinks some of his own urine, and then drops some on the Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. The skits just keep up like that all the way to the end getting crazier and crazier.<br /><br />If that’s your type of humor then you will love The Dictator. It will have you laughing out loud.<br />C

Rise and fall of Emperor Jones but end of movie is too dragged out
Emperor Jones is famous for the performance of Paul Roberson as the lead character. You can tell it wasn’t made by Hollywood but an independent company right from the start because it shows a realistic depiction of a black church with people taken by the Spirit and dancing.<br /><br />The story is about Jones leaving his small time to work and finds himself the dictator of a Caribbean island. I thought the first 2/3 of the film were good. Roberson is smart and ambitious. The last part after he arrives in the Caribbean gets too long winded.

I didn’t appreciate them breaking up the conclusion of the Harry Potter series into two for the money but it’s a damn good movie. Probably the best of all of them.

Delves into politics and identity in 1980s San Francisco Chinatown
Chan Is Missing was Wayne Wang’s first film. Made in black and white it was a look into the Chinese American community in San Francisco in the 1980s. Thus in the second scene the two main characters Wood Moy and his nephew Marc Hayashi are talking about the differences between those that backed the People’s Republic of China versus Taiwan which was a big political division at the time and a major theme of the film. Another is Chinese identity in America. That’s shown through all the abbreviations thrown out like FOB, Fresh Off The Boat, which refers to new Chinese immigrants, and ABCs, American Born Chinese. In one scene Moy gets into a conversation with a restaurant owner about how Chinese have been in the United States for over 100 years and they’re still considered foreigners, meaning they will never be accepted into the country.<br /><br />There’s even an ode to the International Hotel which used to house a large number of retired Filipinos before it was torn down in 1981. It led to a protest movement against its destruction which I was taken to when I was a kid.<br /><br />Speaking of which my mom took me to see Chan Is Missing when it came out. I was too young to understand anything that was going on in it. Watching it now it all makes sense. I think someone that doesn’t have background in the community at that time however will miss a lot of things just like I did when I was young.

The best Roger Moore Bond film
The Man with the Golden Gun was Roger Moore’s second James Bond film. It is by far his best. Live and Let Die which was released the year before was very interesting because it was a blaxploitation flick. The Spy Who Loved Me however, which was Moore’s 3rd release showed how the franchise was falling off with its heavy emphasis upon comedy. In comparison, The Man With The Golden Gun had a great villain with the gentleman assassin Scaramanga played by Christopher Lee. He was assisted by Herve Villechaize as Nick Nack. There was a beautiful Bond girl with Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight. A bit of humor like when Moore has to fight a series of martial artists and kicks the first one in the face right after the ceremonial bow. Interestingly there were no gadgets even though that had become common in the Bond films by now. The only throw away part was the return of Sheriff J.W. Pepper from Live and Let Die. He was supposed to add some more comedy, being a redneck cop from Louisiana teamed up with the debonair Bond during a chase through Thailand, but he’s really not necessary. Despite that the movie found the perfect balance between all its elements, which was why it was so good.

Intrigue takes characters from Morocco to England but didn't like the ending
Dr. McKenna (James Stewart) and his wife Jo (Doris Day) who used to be a Broadway singer are fish out of water vacationing in Marrakesh, Morocco. They don’t know the customs. They’re suspicious of others. They get worked up over a man named Louis Bernard (Daniel Gelin) who befriends them and then ignores them, and then later tells Dr. McKenna a secret that makes him the man who knew too much.<br /><br />Morocco simply provides a background for the intrigue because its exotic. Once the secret is divulged the setting switches to England where the movie becomes a hunt to discover what Bernard’s secret means. There are all kinds of twists and turns like your usual Hitchcock film.<br /><br />Stewart had been in several Hitchcock movies so played his part as the good doctor well. Doris Day was always type cast as the innocent American female. Here she does a good job as the determined wife and mother.<br /><br />I thought the movie played out well and then the end was a bit of a letdown.<br />C

This was a dud
I was really disappointed with this movie. It’s a celebration of the Greek resistance to the Nazis on the island of Crete during World War II. The problem is nothing really happens. The majority of the movie is a few British agents and Greek fighters trying to smuggle a German general off the island. Most of it is them hiding and then running and then hiding again. It just comes off as a dud.

Worst of the three with poor writing
Robocop 3 returned with its anti-corporatist message. This time Omni Corporation was bought up by a Japanese company but it had the same goal to use police to control the population and earn more profits. The plot was a spinoff of the first movie. The company was using the police to forcefully evict people so that Detroit could be redeveloped. The added twist was that the corporations’ plans led to popular resistance and urban terrorism. Unfortunately, being a third in the franchise it was the worst one and had some pretty big holes in the action and story. Basically poor writing finally had its way with this franchise.<br />C

Really up and down
The first Paul Blart movie was a pleasant surprise. This one wasn’t as good. Yes, it was still funny and there were a couple scenes where I laughed out loud. It just wasn’t as funny as the original. This one has Blart going to a security guards’ convention in Las Vegas and having to rescue his daughter from some thieves. Many scenes just weren’t well written. Kevin James for example does this serious talk which is supposed to be ridiculous over and over but it just doesn’t work. On the other hand seeing him getting kicked by a horse was hilarious. Overall this was really up and down.

Most interesting part is Strummer's transformation in his early life to start of The Clash
Joe Strummer was the front man for The Clash. The documentary has some talking heads but is mostly interviews played over archival footage and some photographs. The most interesting part of the story is the transformation that Strummer went through. At one point he was a college student, then an art student because he didn’t know what to do with his life. Then he started a rock band but then the big change happened when Bernard Rhodes came along and said he wanted him to be in a band he was putting together which was The Clash. Strummer said he went through a Stalinist type transformation when he joined because he shunned all of his old friends. Some of them are interviewed and said when they went to see the band play and tried to talk to Strummer he completely ignored them. The rest is pretty much standard fare like the costs of fame, the changes in the line-up, the post-Clash life, etc.

Strong addition to the Saw franchise
The movie gets its name from the spiral swirl that Jigsaw uses. This time the killer is stalking corrupt cops and Chris Rock and his rookie partner Max Minghella are in charge of the investigation. Everything is filmed in dark hues to set the tone. Rock plays the angry black cop which leads to some funny moments as he yells and screams at people. The story is split between the killer taunting the cops and the elaborate deaths that he creates for his victims. It’s a good balance because I think the later Saw films were more about the gore than anything else. That makes it a strong addition to the franchise.

Making the sacrifices to protect the greater good
Avengers End Game is about sacrifices. The first Avengers movie was about the challenges of having power. Age of Ultron was about unintended consequences. Infinity War brought those two themes together when almost the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe was faced with the challenge of the mad god Thanos. Endgame starts in the aftermath of that event.<br /><br />The initial mood is one of sorrow and remorse. Stark for example, talks about “losing the kid” aka Tony Parker-Spider Man (Tom Holland). There are support groups for people to talk about their losses, which features a cameo by Joe Russo, one of the co-directors. Clint Burton (Jeremy Renner) was even turned into a killer as a result. Everyone was completely devastated by Thanos.<br /><br />Sacrifice is then introduced when Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) returns from the Qauntum Realm and tells the Avengers that time operates differently there. If they could manipulate the realm, they might be able to go back in time and reverse Thanos’ act. Different characters then have to give up something to carry out this task. Tony Stark for instance, has to leave not only his wife Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), but his young daughter as well. One of the team has to sacrifice themselves to attain one of the Infinity Stones. Others pay in different ways.<br /><br />Going to the past also allowed Marvel to pay homage to its previous movies since this marked the end of that whole first generation. The first place visited is New York City when the Avengers were formed and fought off Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the Chitauri. There, Banner runs into the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), and Stark and Captain America (Chris Evans) come across a bunch of Hydra agents working inside SHIELD that were seen during Captain America Winter Soldier including Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford). Then Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Rocket (Bradley Cooper) go to Asgard during Thor: The Dark World where the Thunder God gets to reconnect with his mother Frigga (Rene Russo) James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) visit Morag from the first Guardians of the Galaxy, while Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) and Barton go to Vormir seen in Infinity War. There’s even one extra flashback where Stark gets to meet his father (John Slattery) and Cap sees Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), which is some foreshadowing.<br /><br />The film is still able to throw some laughs in despite the general feeling of loss. Scott Lang for example, says they should be able to travel through time as long as they don’t break the rules, which come from Back to the Future. Then when they experiment Scott gets transformed into a pre-teen, an old man, and then a baby. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) declares that a win. What really steals the show however is the depressed Thor. That is one of the funniest things I’ve seen. There’s a great line where Stark says Thor reminds him of Jeff Bridges from the Big Lebowski. It turns out Thor has some problems with players on Fornite as well that’s worth some laughs.<br /><br />Of course, there’s a big giant battle at the end that has some fantastic parts such as a whole army coming to the rescue to back up the Avengers against Thano’s forces. All the female heroes forming up to push through the bad guys, and a great exchange between Cap and Thor.<br /><br />Really, every Marvel movie up to this point was leading up to Endgame and it delivered.<br />C

A fine movie about revenge with plenty of blood and guts
I heard mixed things about The Northman when it came out in theaters but I’m watching it now and I thoroughly enjoy it. The first thing that stands out is the dark tone in all the colors used in the film. That reflects the subject matter which is about violence, power and revenge. At the start for instance there’s a raid on a Russian village where most of the people are massacred. The second thing is the story incorporates Viking mythology and religion. Thus Warriors act like wolves in ceremonies to connect with Fenrir the son of Loki and there are spirits both good and evil. Third The Northman was shot in Ireland and used some of its beautiful scenery in great sweeping landscape shots.<br /><br />The story itself revolves around Alexander Skarsgard whose father was a king who was murdered in a coup. He obviously wants revenge but that is a long and arduous trip.<br /><br />After all that what really surprised me was Nicole Kidman. She doesn’t really get to shine until halfway through the movie but when she does she turns out to be a real force.<br /><br />If you don’t mind all the blood and guts The Northman is a fine movie about vengeance.

Hilarious dark comedy of 3 bodybuilders kidnapping the rich to achieve the American dream
Pain and Gain was a Michael Bay production starring Mark Wahlberg as Daniel Lugo, Dwayne Johnson as Paul Doyle, Anthony Mackie as Adrian Doorbal, Tony Shalhoub as Victor Kershaw, and Ed Harris as Ed DuBois. This was by far Bay’s most restrained release as there was none of the big explosions and gunfire that he was known for. Instead Pain and Gain was a true crime story about three body builders, Daniel, Paul and Adrian who had a twisted sense of the American Dream. They believed they worked really hard on their bodies but had nothing to show for it when they should. What they decided to do led by Lugo was to rob the rich so they could join them. They started with Kershaw who they believed was a jerk and didn’t deserve his riches. They actually believed that was how they were going to be self-made men.<br /><br />The movie is actually a dark comedy. Daniel, Paul and Adrin were dummies and had no idea what they were doing. They go from one screw up to another in their schemes. For instance they go to a parking lot and surround the wrong car to carry off a kidnapping. Lugo’s plans were all the blind leading the blind. After that they only escalate things over and over. That’s what makes the movie so good. You can’t believe what these guys tried to do, many of which were very funny.<br />C

Story pales in comparison to 1st 2 in the Godfather series
I remember seeing this when it came out in a movie theater and being extremely disappointed. Re-watching it years later it wasn’t bad, but it just paled in comparison to the first two movies in the series. Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo wrote all three films but it appeared they ran out of ideas by this time.<br /><br />Here’s the gist of the problem. The Catholic Church was in financial trouble and Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) wanted a piece of a company that the Church was part owner of. While he’s doing that he takes on his nephew Vincent played by Andy Garcia who is a hotheaded gangster. The idea is that Corleone is now a multi-millionaire businessman but he needs a thug with him? C’mon. This of course leads to the conflict in the story as Vincent has a grudge against another mafia boss and Michael gets dragged in the middle. More than that there were none of the complicated plots and twists as in the first two movies.<br /><br />To top it off the movie ends with an opera tragedy and tries to link that to the Corleone family. Overdone and just a huge letdown.

Hilarious satire of the movie business
Tropic Thunder was a hilarious satire of the movie industry.<br /><br />This was a movie about making a Vietnam War movie. There was the famous method actor Kirk Lazarus played by Robert Downey Jr. There was the fading action star Tugg Speedman played by Ben Stiller. There’s the rap artist trying to get into the film industry Alpa Chino played by Brandon Jackson. There’s the drugged out movie star Jeff Portnoy played by Jack Black. There’s the movie agent Rick Peck played by Matthew McConaughey. There’s the over the top movie executive Les Grossman played by Tom Cruise and his yes man Rob played by Bill Hader.<br /><br />They get dropped off in the middle of the jungle and it’s very funny. For instance, Lazarus won’t go out of character and insults Alpa Chino for playing a black man. At one point they get into an argument and Kirk grabs Alpa and embraces him and recites the lyrics to the Good Times TV show theme song. The point overall was to make fun of the film business and they accomplished that. There are eccentric actors. Crazy movie executives and more.<br />C

One of Tyler Perry's better romances
Daddy’s Little Girls was another Tyler Perry film. This time he flipped the script a bit as both the main characters, Idris Elba and Gabrielle Union, not just the woman had bad experiences in their lives. The two also came from different backgrounds with Elba being working class and Union a lawyer. Elba was a struggling single dad who Union comes to help in court. The love story between the two wasn’t as sappy as Perry’s earlier films which could get really bad sometimes. That made this one of Perry’s better romances.

good but not great Tom Clancy adaptation
Patriot Games was another adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel starring Harrison Ford as the CIA officer Jack Ryan. It’s a good but not great film overall featuring Ryan facing off against Irish terrorists.<br /><br />The story has Ryan and his family in England where he foils an attack of a breakaway group from the Irish Republican Army (IRA) upon a British minister. The splinter IRA group is led by Sean Miller (Sean Bean), who then plots to get revenge upon Ryan. So that’s the plot, can Ryan escape the Irish terrorists and foil their next plot against the British government?<br /><br />Ford does his usual good job. He has a quiet intensity to him that goes well with the character. This is not as good as my favorite Clancy film Clear and Present Danger but it’s not as bad as the others thar largely created unbelievable stories.<br />C

Has a lot of ups & downs and not as many laughs as the original
The original Borat was an example of guerilla comedy by Sacha Baron Cohen. He traveled across the United States posing as a reporter from Kazakhstan not telling them he was filming a movie to see what they would say. He returned to that role with some mixed results.<br /><br />This time the movie focused upon Borat bringing his daughter Tutar played by Maria Bakalova with him to try to bring up issues about women and sexism. For instance they go to a “sugar baby” a young woman who explains that she goes out with older men to get their money. Other times the skits have a lot of potential but they fail to go anywhere. For instance they pretend that the daughter ate a plastic baby on top of a cupcake and then go to a medical clinic asking to take the “baby” out of her. The doctor thinks they’re talking about an abortion and he’s an evangelical Christian. He talks about how God created life and he won’t end it, but it just falls flat because you know exactly what the doctor will see and it’s pretty mainstream conservative rhetoric.<br /><br />Other times Cohen exposes some of the extremes of America. He stays at the house of two Republicans, one of which believes in QAnon and says that the Clintons ran a child slavery ring so that they could drink the adrenaline from children. This was one of the strengths of the original Borat and he was still able to find the people who were quite open about their crazy thoughts.<br /><br />The best parts are when they go completely over the top like when they go to a debutants ball and the daughter shows she’s on her period during a dance. That’s the shock value that you miss from a lot of this movie that made the first one so exciting.<br /><br />Of course the climax is the segment with Rudy Giuliani.<br /><br />Overall, there are many ups and downs and it doesn’t have the shock nor the laughs of the original.

Beverly Michaels carries this entire Film Noir as a Femme Fatale
Wicked Woman has a great start. Beverly Michaels shows up in a new town and is completely cynical, jaded and has a mean spirit. She yells at people and cops an attitude with everyone she meets. Other times she uses her looks to manipulate men. The story focuses upon her trying to make plans with Richard Egan. The ending is especially memorable.<br /><br />Michaels really carries the entire film. She’s got all the looks of a classic Femme Fatale with the blond hair and body. She’s determined to get what she wants and is willing to do anything to achieve it. She really made this a worthwhile Film Noir to watch.

Have to be patient for story to develop because it moves at a very slow pace
Boiling Point is a very slow paced film by Takeshi Kitano, his second overall release. The story is about friendship. It focuses upon Yurei Yanagi who is a completely lifeless individual. In one scene he’s told to coach third base at a baseball game. He slowly walks out to his position and then just stares off into space completely ignoring the game. That’s his whole life in a nutshell. His friend Taka Gadarukanaru should have been the lead as he’s much more interesting because he has a temper. There are little bits of comedy thrown in as well such as when Yanagi’s friend sells a motorcycle to a young kid who immediately crashes it. Thank god for those because they break up the monotonous speed of the film. I think a lot of times Takeshi wanted to show basic life in his shots but that meant there were tons of minutes wasted on just showing people standing around or looking off in the distance. It ends up being interesting but you really have to be patient and wait for things to develop.

Start of one of the greatest Japanese samurai/exploitation series of the 70s
Sword of Vengeance was the first Lone Wolf and Cub film based upon the famous manga. It led to one of the greatest samurai/Japanese exploitation series of the 1970s. Tomisaburo Wakayama played Ogami Itto the Shogun’s executioner whose position is stolen by the Yagyu Clan forcing Itto and his young son Daigoro/Akihiro Tomikawa onto the white path of righteousness as an assassin. It has to be one of Wakayama’s greatest roles. He has the perfect scowling face for it.<br /><br />The opening sets the entire stage for the movie. First it shows Itto in his official duty for the Shogunate. That includes having the ruling Tokugawa crest on his uniform. The next scene he and Daigoro are looking disheveled wandering the roads of Japan offering their services to kill people.<br /><br />It’s the action you want to see in great Japanese 1970s style with gushing blood every time someone is cut down by a sword. Sone of the stories such as when Itto goes to a hot spring town occupied by outlaws is taken right form the manga.

Gritty look at working class whites caught in a life of petty crime
This movie is about two petty neighborhood crooks Peter Greene and Adam Trese. They steal a radio out of a car and try to sell it to a fence. They walk into a department store and heist as much as they can handle. It deals with their relationship and their relationship to others. It’s a really gritty look at working class whites, a group that is rarely covered in the movies anymore. I found their hijinks to be both funny and poignant at the same time. I wanted to see what happened to them.

Like a performance artist in an outrageous and crazy film
Borat is one of Shasha Baron Cohen’s most outrages movies. He poses as Borat a hapless reporter from Kazakhstan sent to the United States. What Cohen and his production company did was walk up to people posing as Borat and not tell them it was going to be part of a movie. He would then ask and do ridiculous things to see how they would react. Only a few scenes were staged such as the opening where Borat explains himself and introduces the audience to his village in Kazakhstan. It took a huge amount of time to compile all the footage because obviously people would do different things and not all of it was film worthy. What finally came out was hilarious and crazy.<br /><br />The first scene in America is an example of what the film would be like. Borat gets on a New York City subway and introduces himself to the passengers by shaking their hand and then trying to kiss them on the cheek. Two men cuss him out. Then he picks up his suitcase and lets it open and chickens jump out and he chases them through the subway car. It just goes from there.<br /><br />In doing so he caught some really off the cuff moments as well. At a rodeo for example a man says he thinks men with mustaches are Muslims and might be carrying a bomb. He gets picked up by some drunk college kids who say that they wish America still had slaves. It’s amazing what people would say and do around a total stranger.<br /><br />It’s really like a performance artists in a one of a kind film.

Not what you expect from this high school story
Honor Society is another one of those movies focusing upon a teenager, Angourie Rice, who is too cool and smart for school ala Ferris Bueller. In this case she’s trying to undermine the two other top students to ensure a recommendation into Harvard.<br /><br />Just like Bueller’s Day Off Rice talks right into the camera at the audience about her thoughts and ideas.<br /><br />The movie surprised me by the plot twists in the second half. They threw everything that you expected off balance.<br /><br />At the same time the story is full of stereotypes adults have of high school which don’t happen in real life like bullies throwing a nerds lunch on the floor. I also question who thought up the idea of having the most popular boy in school being the captain of the Lacrosse team. What school has Lacrosse as one of the top sports?

Engaging story of the origins of Watergate's Deep Throat
Anyone who knows anything about Watergate knows the famous name Deep Throat. He was the government source that told Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein inside information about how the Nixon White House ordered the break in at the Democratic headquarters to try to undermine the 1972 presidential election. Mark Felt played by Liam Neeson was Deep Throat.<br /><br />The movie portrays him as a company man. Someone who served FBI Director Herbert Hoover for decades and who wanted to protect the agency. Neeson also plays him as a man of integrity. When Watergate happens he has to pick between investigating the case or serving the government which is trying to cover it up. We all know what Felt ended up doing so it was up to the movie to make it an interesting explanation of his motivations and all the intrigue emanating from the White House.<br /><br />I have to say it did a good job. The soundtrack for instance quickly takes a dark tone to create the mood. Nixon’s men like the FBI Director played by Marton Csokas looks sinister. You can feel the pressure the White House put on the FBI to hush things up.<br /><br />The only problem with Mark Felt is a side story they have about his runaway daughter. It was meant to show him as a family man, but it was a complete distraction and waste of time.

Scorsese does Hitchcock in this thrilling remake
This is Martin Scorsese’s remake of the 1960s classic. The first thing that stands out is that Scorsese used some techniques that he hadn’t used before such as going black and white and then negative during one scene, and then in another having Robert De Niro being superimposed over a background. It reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock. Bernard Herrmann also did the soundtrack who worked with Hitchcock on some of his classics. Speaking of De Niro he is really creepy and sinister from the start. He becomes like a living nightmare for Nick Nolte who is the father of the family De Niro is stalking. Nolte also shows a level of desperation which increases as the story progresses. Finally, Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum who were in the original have roles as well. It all makes for an engaging thriller.

Story about sense of belonging and fears of the unknown
The Sandlot is a classic kid’s story about a nostalgic view of baseball and children’s fears. It focuses upon a group of kids who play ball all day long. It provides camaraderie, a sense of belonging and promoted the idea of teamwork. Mixed in with that is their fear of a giant dog next to the baseball field. It symbolizes the unknown which is a lot for elementary school kids. It’s a great kid’s movie and it’s enjoyable for adults as well.

Fun stuff from director Tsui Hark and Jet Li
Lion dancers, Kung Fu and comedy, that’s what the film is about. The movie actually has a much stronger plot then the first Once Upon A Time In China focusing upon a lion dance competition sponsored by the empress of China. Still, most of it is driven by Jet Li going from one situation to another. Sometimes he goes for laughs like when he breaks up a conversation between his auntie and a westerner and insults his understanding of Chinese. Other times it’s straight action such as when he breaks up a huge fight between different Kung Fu schools singlehandedly. It’s all pretty fun stuff.

The original and best Saw film
The movie that started an entire franchise. This one was much different from what Saw became. That’s because it’s more of a psychological thriller with two men chained up in a bathroom with a dead man in between them trying to figure out how they got there and how to escape. Yes, Jigsaw carries out killings but they are nowhere near as graphic as the later film. The ending was a complete surprise. I wish Saw had stuck with this formula rather than going for the shock value.

This is a Japanese production with Catwoman being captured by Batwoman and forced to help her and INTERPO break up an international crime ring. Loved the animation.

Batwoman was as mechanical as Batman usually is but Catwoman did get her to let down her guard once much to her embarrassment. The villains were interesting as well.

In The Outfit Robert Duvall, Karen Black and Joe Don Baker seek revenge against a crime boss Robert Ryan for the death of Duvall’s brother.

Jodie Foster has to prove herself in a man's world full of FBI agents & seriel killers
Silence Of The Lambs was a game changing police procedural-psychological thriller featuring Jodie Foster as FBI trainee Clarice Starling and Anthony Hopkins as serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter. A series of young women were being kidnapped and murdered by a man called Buffalo Bill. The FBI assigned Starling to do a psychological profile of Lecter to try to gain insights into mass murderers. Later it turns out Lecter and Bill are connected. The movie has three parts to it. First is the talks between Starling and Lecter as she tries to extract information from him. It’s like a battle of wills as they pit their intelligences against each other. Second, is the hunt for Buffalo Bill. Third, is Starling attempting to assert herself as a young woman in the man’s world of the FBI.<br /><br />The best and most memorable parts of the movie are those with Starling and Lecter where they match wits. Lecter sizes her up by asking her both formal and probing questions, some of which embarrass her to see how she’ll react. For example, he quickly deduces that she grew up poor and is attempting to move into the white middle class. Starling is being pushed but she doesn’t break. She throws back his analysis of her by challenging him to answer the questions she’s got for him. Even though it seems like Lecter is not impressed by his interviewee he can see her strength and throws her a bone about looking up one of his former clients that will help with the Buffalo Bill case. That sets the relationship between the two. Lecter continues to push and probe, but she stands up to him and gets more and more information from him as her reward.<br /><br />Director Jonathan Demme placed Starling at the center of everything and used interesting techniques to do that. Not only was she the main character but the film was shot from her perspective. When characters talk to her they speak right into the camera to give her point of view. That’s to emphasize her female perspective on things, and how all the other characters who are almost all men, view her. It also shows her brilliance. She is able to catch things that others miss and she is the only one that Lecter will talk to.<br /><br />Silence of the Lambs is one of those movies that after you see it will stay with you for a long time.<br />C

Much better than I thought it would be
I don’t usually like Adam Sandler when he does a voice for an entire movie but this was an exception. Sandler has a history of creating ridiculous situations in his films and Little Nicky is no exception. For instance, he’s being chased by more and more people including a group of wheelchair basketball players. That being said I would put Little Nicky right in the middle of Sandler’s films. Yes it’s funny but not as much as his best.

Like any good Asian martial arts story this is all about revenge
Like many Asian films Afro Samurai is about revenge. When he was a child he saw his father killed in a duel for the title of number one warrior. He was obsessed with payback ever since.<br /><br />The cowboy is a fitting foe because the movie plays out like a Western. Thus Afro Samurai comes into a town, goes to the local saloon and gets into fights or meets an opponent in a desolate setting just like America’s old West. At the same time there is an ode to samurai films of the 1970s with gushing blood when someone is killed with a sword. There are also cool touches like Afro Samurai’s opponents sounding like a bunch of old black guys, and of course Afro’s sidekick is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson. Finally the action, which takes up a large part of the series is well done and so is the animation.<br /><br />I never took the time to watch this when it came out but I’m glad I now have it on blu-ray to enjoy.

Starts off as interesting concept but can't keep your attention
Locke is about Tom Hardy being in a state of crisis. He’s married but he got his girlfriend pregnant. What’s unique is that the entire film takes place in Hardy’s car as he’s driving towards the birth of his child. He takes constant phone calls from his family, the woman that’s having his baby, his work and others. At first the film comes off as an interesting concept but then it loses its charm. Just watching Hardy sitting in his car can’t keep your attention for an hour and 24 minutes. The conversations also start all sounding the same.

Creates a real sense of excitement and adventure
The previous Indiana Jones movie the Temple of Doom was a horrible take on an exploitation movie. The Last Crusade got the franchise back on track with Jones (Harrison Ford) re-uniting with his estranged father Henry Jones (Sean Connery) and facing off with the Nazis once again in a search for the Holy Grail.<br /><br />I really like the start of the film. It has a young Indiana played by River Phoenix. It shows how Indiana got his whip and hat, why he didn’t like snakes and most importantly how he got into archeology. It’s a great bit of background for the entire franchise.<br /><br />The story itself is played out like a great mystery as Indiana goes through a series of clues to find the Grail. He climbs through crypts, gets chased, etc.<br /><br />Then when he runs into his father it starts getting comedic as the two play an odd couple.<br /><br />In the end, The Last Crusade re-creates the sense of excitement and adventure into mythology and history that the original did.<br />C

Some sexy Soul from Barry White
Barry White has one of those voices that you know it’s him as soon as you hear it. The sexy soul he sang over was just as good. He also knew about the “one” that means accenting the first beat in every count. That’s something that James Brown really innovated and seems to have trickled down to White. Added bonus this concert includes Love Unlimited the three member female group that White created.

Couldn't make light of the racist justice system in the South
Here’s the problem with Life. It took a very serious topic, a racist criminal justice system in the south and chose two comedians Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence to be the main characters. Could they make light of the tough situation they find themselves in getting life in prison in Mississippi for a crime they didn’t commit? There are a couple laughs here and there, but it’s really not a comedy. What you do get is how blacks were forced into chain gangs to do hard labor. How racist guards ran the prison system, etc.<br />C

Totally new take on a haunting
A World War II U.S. submarine picks up three shipwrecked survivors. Then strange things start happening and they think they have a saboteur on board. It turns out it’s a ghost. There are only so many things you can do with a submarine film like depth charges, leaks in the boat, etc. Making it into a ghost story then was a whole new twist and what a great one it was. Having a haunting within a confined space like a sub was a strike of genius.

One of the better Hammer films with some real horror

If the Muppets were a bunch of degenerates they would bein Happytime Murders
Happytime Murders seemed like a ridiculous plot, but it was really funny. It had Melissa McCarthy as Detective Connie Edwards working in a world full of humans and puppets where the latter were discriminated against. The other main character is a puppet Phil Phillips (Bill Barretta) who plays a hard boiled detective. The story is about the two investigating a series of murders.<br /><br />The movie is definitely low brow and raunchy humor. There’s puppet sex. Puppets doing drugs. Puppet jokes. There are puppets being shot and puppets being blown up. It’s like if the Muppets were a bunch of degenerates. If you like this kind of humor than Happtyime Murders is for you.<br />C

Satire of 50s/60s white Baby Boomer America
This version of Hairspray had a lot to live up to because the original 80s movie by John Waters was really something. I think this version based upon the musical captures the spirit of the original. That’s seen in the opening song Good Morning Baltimore that features rats, a flasher and a drunk. That’s what the movie is about. It’s a satire of 1950s/60s which is held up as the heyday of Baby Boomer white America. Hairspray reminds the viewer that this golden era had racism and segregation as the main characters attempt to integrate a teen dance TV show. The songs are good. Nikki Blonsky as the spunky main character is great with her attitude and dance moves. So are the other stars like John Travolta as her mom and Christopher Walken as her dad.

George C Scott leads a bank robbing crew in this comedy heist film
The Bank Shot is a comedy heist film featuring George C. Scott who is a thief who is broken out of prison to rob a bank. Clifton James who I remember from being a bumbling sheriff in some Roger Moore James Bond films is chasing Scott. There’s all kinds of funny moments like when Scott and his crew are trying to break into the safe when they hear the police telling Scott to come out with his hands up. He walks out and finds the cops are talking to another place and he goes back to cracking the safe. They also decked out Scott with these huge bushy eyebrows and gave him a lisp. It made me smile every time I saw him.

Old or new songs Stiff Little Fingers still sounds great
Stiff Little Fingers was formed in Northern Ireland in the 1970s during the Troubles when there was constant violence. They had a distinct sound and released two amazing albums. They split up in the 80s only to reform a few years later. This is a concert from 2004 and they still sound great. They deliver a catchy form of Punk that I’ve always loved. They played all their old hits like Alternative Ulster and Suspect Device and even their new songs were good as well.

Moving and entertaining
Roger Ebert had a huge impact on my movie viewing life. I grew up watching him on TV. He not only knew cinema but American culture as well, which made his insights that more valuable. Part of that was because he began as a newspaper reporter and editor before he was a critic. The film is a mix of Ebert reading from his memoir Life Itself and some of his reviews along with interviews and plenty of archival footage.<br /><br />Right at the start the documentary hits because it shows Ebert late in his life in the hospital. He lost his jaw from cancer and he was using a computer to speak. He still seemed in a great mood but it was very, very sad to see his physical state.<br /><br />There are some light moments as well such as when some of his friends talk about how he had the worst taste in women they’d ever seen. Ebert had a real sense of humor as well.<br /><br />Finally and most importantly the movie is touching. Ebert gave credit to his wife Chaz for not giving up when he was struck with cancer and was constantly in the hospital. Another time Martin Scorsese broke down talking about his friendship with hi. Those are by far the best parts of the film.

By far best of the 3 Divergent films
This was the conclusion of the Divergent series. Shailene Woodley found out that the caste system that had controlled the postwar world was part of an experiment and there was more outside the city. Unfortunately the new people in authority wanted to keep that from the people. It was up to Woodley to find out what was out in the world which meant she was still going to be a rebel against the powers that be. Ultimately the story was about whether Woodley could liberate humanity from those that sought to control them.<br /><br />Again the movie delves into the post-apocalyptic world. For instance the casteless have taken power and they want revenge upon the old order. The revolution they led ends up being simply a new system of control hence they won’t let anyone out of the city. Another group that claims they are trying to save humanity is actually just another group of oppressors.<br /><br />For the third installment in the series this was actually the best movie of the lot.

Interesting concept of soldiers going back in time to samurai period but horribly handled
A small group of Japanese soldiers, sailors and pilots commanded by Sonny Chiba are out for an exercise when all their watches stop, and suddenly the sky and the environment begins going through dramatic and colorful changes. The soldiers find themselves in ancient Japan facing samurai. That’s the opening of Sengoku Jieitai, Sengoku being the Warring Era in Japanese history when rival samurai lords were competing for power and Jieitai being the Self-Defense Forces.<br /><br />What might seem like an interesting concept goes south quick. The writers seemed to want to include everything they could think of. There’s one soldier that wants to go back to his girlfriend in modern times and runs off. There’s another that falls in love with a peasant girl he finds and takes her with him. There’s one group of soldiers that steal a boat, and decide to rape and pillage. Chiba decides to capture the rebels by hanging out of a helicopter by a rope and shooting at them and their ship. One of the most ridiculous things you’ll see. Even when Chiba and his soldiers face off with samurai it’s not very satisfying.<br /><br />Very disappointed.

Biker exploitation with a killer soundtrack
Biker movies was its own separate genre in exploitation cinema. This one was only of interest to me for one reason, its soundtrack. It has some great psychedelic Rock tunes featuring some walking bass and plenty of drum breaks that will have your head nodding. The story itself is about Jeremy Slate trying to get his stolen motorcycle back which leads to plenty of violence. The theme is that Slate and others value the bike over everything else including their friends and women and are willing to risk their lives for it. It’s not bad seeing what Slate and company are willing to do for this bike.

THE 1st and greatest hip hop movie ever!
Before Beat Street, Krush Groove and Breakin there was Wild Style, THE first Hip Hop movie. The film was made by Charlie Ahearn and Fab 5 Freddy and captures the early days of rap music and culture.<br /><br />The story loosely follows a graffiti artist named Zoro who runs around the subway yards in the Bronx at night tagging the trains.<br /><br />That’s really secondary however. The real stars are the music, the art, the mood, and the times Wild Style captures.<br /><br />Right at the start there’s all kinds of real New York graffiti featured both on walls, on subways, and in books. The stuff looks amazing. There’s also a stark contrast between all the color the graffiti brought to the neighborhood compared to the empty buildings and lots and general destruction that had hit the Bronx by this time.<br /><br />Then there’s the music. Even the background music is banging, which was made just for the film by Grandmaster Caz and Chris Stein of Blondie. Some of the artists featured are Busy Bee Starski, Rodney Cee, the Cold Crush Brothers, the Fantastic Freaks, Double Trouble, and Grandmaster Flash. They’re captured in the club, on the stoop, and in one of the most iconic scenes on the basketball court. This was before all the flash and glamor and money hit the rap scene. If you want to hear rap in its most rawest and organic form this is it. Plus there’s pop-locking, break dancing and more.<br />C

This is not your regular coming of age story
The Virgin Suicides is a disconcerting film. On the one hand there’s a family of sisters which a group of boys totally obsess over. There’s a voice over commentary about how much this group of kids’ entire lives revolved around these girls. Then the sisters suffer a series of suicides so it’s not your usual coming of age tale. The two are actually connected because the boys treat the sisters like things to be conquered. There’s one sequence where Josh Hartnett goes out with one of the sisters Kirsten Dunst and then just abandons her. He too couldn’t stop thinking about Dunst before and then used her and threw her away. Pay close attention to how the sisters are talking to the boys at the end as well. It’s a very interesting and odd mix. It was also Sofia Coppola’s directorial debut.

Rivalries and foreigners mark this season
First off, these seasons are mislabeled. This is not the second season. This is from 1998 and the show started in 1993.<br /><br />The highlights of this set of shows are the foreign chefs and the rivalries. One challenger comes from San Francisco and was completely disrespected by the judges for being American. The Ohta Faction was a group of chefs who believed that Iron Chef Japanese Morimoto was an afront to their tradition and presented one challenger after another to try to take him down. Iron Chef Chinese Chen also had a fight with a famous Chinese restaurant from Yokohama that sent three chefs against him.<br /><br />Most importantly this was a one of a kind food show when it aired in the 1990s. The idea of a cooking competition that was part outrages thanks to the host Chairman Kaga along with top rated chefs from across Japan changed the food game on TV. It’s impact is still felt today on the genre.

Good modernization but not as compelling as the original
Jealously, mistrust and manipulation. (O) captures those basic elements of Shakespeare’s play. The movies adds resentment to that list with Josh Hartnett as the Iago character being angry with his father played by Martin Sheen for ignoring him and showing him no love. He takes that anger out on Mekhi Phifer who is the Othello character. I’m a fan of Phifer and he delivered along with the other main characters in the cast. It was a good modernization of the story but didn’t think it was as compelling as the original.

One of John Wayne's better war movies
This is one of John Wayne’s better war films and that’s saying a lot because he was in so many. It’s about him being a Green Beret commander early in the Vietnam. It’s also a propaganda film to promote the war. That starts right at the start as some journalists question the conflict while two Green Berets talk about fighting for freedom against a Communist attempt to dominate the world. They lay it on thick. Once you get past that it becomes a more traditional feature.<br /><br />The plot has two parts. The first is defending a combat outpost topped off by a huge battle scene. The second is a secret mission behind enemy lines.<br /><br />It’s also one of the few from this period which had Asian actors in leading roles with Jack Soo of Barnie Miller fame as a South Vietnamese Colonel, George Takei of Star Trek as a captain that works with Wayne, Craig Jue as a little kid who hangs around an outpost and Irene Tsu as a spy.

New Deal era film against racist and anti-immigrant groups
In the 1920s the KKK had a revival in the United States. This iteration focused upon immigrants to the U.S. as much as African Americans. The Black Legion is an anti-racist, anti-nativist movie made during the New Deal/Great Depression era. Humphrey Bogart joins the Black Legion which is based upon the KKK even down to its hooded uniforms. After he loses a management position at his job he turns against immigrants which leads him to the Black Legion who blames foreigners for America’s problems.<br /><br />I thought the movie had an interesting take on the topic. Instead of focusing upon the Black Legion’s attacks on people it went into how it acted like a mafia and ruined Bogart’s life. It was trying to say it wasn’t just a group that threatened others with violence, but one that challenged the American way of life. That included a long monologue at the end by a judge about democracy.

Couldn't balance the three stories so was inconsistent
Scream And Scream Again features three different stories spliced together. They go back and forth and you have to keep up. The most disturbing is about a man who finds his body parts are disappearing one by one in a hospital. There’s literally no explanation and hardly any dialogue besides the man asking an occasional question and then screaming after the latest bit has been cut off.<br /><br />Another is about a serial killer that has interesting parts but then the last is about a dictator that didn’t seem to fit with the rest because it was about totalitarianism which is a horror but not the same as the others. At the end they are all linked together. If the stories had been equally good Scream And Scream Again really could have been something. Instead it was rather inconsistent.<br /><br />Last the Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee get top billing but they aren’t the main characters and only appear occasionally.

If you like Jackass and inappropriate comedy than you'll love Bad Grandpa
Bad Grandpa was a derivative of the Jackass series. Originally, one of the shows’ creators Spike Jonze would dress up like an old lady and walk up to unsuspecting people and do skits.<br /><br />That led to Bad Grandpa where Johnny Knoxville dressed up like an old man and played grandpa to child actor Jackson Nicoll. Like Jackass the two would walk into unsuspecting locations and start acting outrageous to get people’s reactions.<br /><br />Just like Jackass Bad Grandpa really pushes the boundaries of good taste. For example one of the first skits is Knoxville at a gas station where he pretends that his private parts are stuck inside a soda machine and he asks for people’s help. In another Knoxville and Jackson are in a restaurant and Knoxville gets gas and then projectile poos on the walls. In another Knoxville tries to ship his grandson in a large box to his father because he doesn’t want to drive him. When the ladies at the store see that there’s a boy inside one asks if he wants a blanket, while the other says they can’t send human beings. If you can watch that and see the comedy in it then Bad Grandpa is for you. I always liked Jackass so I thought this was a hilarious movie.<br />C

Made me laugh out loud
The Five Year Engagement is a funny romantic comedy. One moment Jason Segel and Emily Blunt have their engagement party, the next moment Segel’s boss accidentally cuts off the tip of her finger and gushes blood as the head chef at a restaurant. Another time Segel goes deer hunting and the next the deer slides off the top of the car and Segel has to put it in the passenger’s seat. In fact the movie is more of a comedy than a romance and there’s no problem with that. Of course then I saw this was a Judd Apatow production and it all made sense. It also made me laugh out loud.

Epic historical drama of two armies trying to out strategize each other
Red Cliff is an epic Chinese historical drama starring Tony Leung and directed by John Woo. The story focuses upon Prime Minister Cao Cao/Zhang Fengyi attempting to conquer two southern kingdoms. He is portrayed as a powerful man who covets what others have whether that be generals or women.<br /><br />The war scenes are what the movie is all about. They don’t have Woo’s trademark stylized motifs but they are quite good. That’s because he employed hundreds of extras and kept the special effects to a minimum. The two sides employ different formations and attack on both land and sea to out strategize each other. That’s the big differences from similar films. It actually tries to explain what the two armies are doing and doesn’t rely upon CGI.

Some amazing acting and a story that's both interesting and funny
This is an amazing movie about the political career of Dick Cheney. Christian Bale is just incredible as the lead. This is a man who is known to go through dramatic transformations for his role and he did it again to play Cheney. There is some other great casting like Steve Carell as Donald Rumsfeld and Sam Rockwell as President Bush. Next, director Adam McKay does a deft job handling the story. Sometimes it’s straight biography. Other times its satire such as when the commentator says they don’t know what Cheney and his wife played by Amy Adams said in a certain situation so they bust into a dialogue from Shakespeare. The theme of the film is that Cheney amassed more power around him than any other vice president in history. People should remember that movies are fiction and not fact so if someone gets mad at the film for something that didn’t happen their anger is misdirected.

Tale of 2 halfs 1st too carried away 2nd more satisfying
In the first Ip Man Donnie Yen went from a Kung Fu instructor to a symbol of Chinese nationalism as he stood up to the Japanese during the start of World War II. In the second installment of the series Yen and his family have moved to Hong Kong after the war. The story comes in two parts. The first is about Yen struggling to set up a school and the second is taking on the pompous British imperialists.<br /><br />The opening half has Yen facing off against Sammo Hung. It gets carried away with the special effects. That’s especially true when Yen fights Hung using a table as a ridiculous prop. Standing up to the English is much better. It was still overblown with the Brits were caricatures but satisfying.

It's all about the soul of Daniel Day-Lewis' character
There Will Be Blood is about the soul of Daniel Day-Lewis’ character.<br /><br />Director Paul Thomas Anderson made a bold move with the start because there’s no talking for the first 14 minutes. That’s because it’s all about the hard work Day-Lewis put into developing his oil well. He literally put in his blood, sweat, and tears into it. It showed his unrelenting drive. As he says in one scene he hates people and only cared about his own success. The movie explores what he was willing to do to achieve that.<br /><br />It’s quite a remarkable performance by Day-Lewis. He has the look, the voice, and the presence to carry out this role.

Lackluster c-list exploitation
I only watched this movie because it reminded me of Kill Bill when Umma Thurman said she was in a TV show called Fox Force Five. The film is a c-list production of a secret force sent in to investigate a reverend who’s running a cult. What’s crazy is that part of the beginning is just like the A-Team with a crazy helicopter pilot who has to be broken out of jail. The movie came out before the TV show. Unfortunately the movie was pretty lackluster. Even the action was really up and down. Some people could pull off a fight and others couldn’t.

Bittersweet story of friendship and love
I remember when Sophie’s Choice came out. It took my until 2022 to actually watch it. It kind of reminds me of The Great Gatsby with a frivolous couple, Kevin Kline and Meryl Streep, and a third person as the friend, Peter MacNicol. The difference is that MacNicol is in love with Streep. The story is marked by all kinds of highs and lows. One moment the three are dressing up in costumes and painting the town red. The next Kline goes into a fit and accuses everyone of betraying him. Mixed in with that is Streep’s stories of her time in a Nazi concentration camp during WWII. It’s definitely a bittersweet tale, but a very moving and beautiful one.

People doing dumb stuff so dinosaurs can eat them
This was the restart of the Jurassic Park series. The theme was exactly the same as the original and based upon Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein novel. That being when man interferes with nature it will suffer the consequences. This time they’re not just bringing back dinosaurs but creating new ones genetically with predictably horrible results. That’s really the reason why people watch this movie to see dinosaurs eat people and you get plenty of that. It’s some very predictable chaos that follows with people doing dumb stuff to the dinosaurs benefit.

What do bored, ignored and neglected housewives do?
What do bored, ignored and neglected housewives do? They eat little objects like a marble in Swallow featuring Haley Bennett. She takes these little acts as a way to make herself feel special in a world where she believes she’s treated like a little child. The story grows in weirdness as it progresses but then seems to lose its way halfway through. The ending did not feel fulfilling as it tries to go into Bennett’s root problems. I understand why it tried to do that but it didn’t seem to work.
