“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more.” If you can find a movie from the 70’s more prescient about the world today I’d like to see it. I couldn’t sleep, so I turned on the TV which happened to be on Turner Classic Movies. I watched the end of…
James McAvoy is the dull sad sack of a man who is recruited by a fraternity of assassins to carry out his destiny. McAvoy’s transition from scared mope to highly trained killer almost took too long, but then it made sense. I get annoyed when some regular Joe gets thrown into, or in this case…
If Ben Kingsley were a Jedi he would have more power than Yoda. Yeah, you heard me. More understanding of the force he would have. Wackness is a decent little indie film set in the summer of 1994 in New York. It’s about a high school grad that sells weed and doesn’t have much direction…
Anyone who doesn’t like “The Dark Knight” is an idiot. If you can’t get on board with this film then go see “Mama Mia” and stay away from me. You probably liked “Episode 1” and thought Jar Jar was funny and cute. Go away. You’re not welcome here. I was shaking when I left the…
“Bustin’ Down the Door” lives up to its name. It’s a surfing documentary that goes beyond the typical great waves and tropical backdrop fare of other surf docs. This is the story of a group of young surfers from Australia and South Africa who came to the North Shore of Oahu in the winter of…
Rainn Wilson rocks. He always makes me laugh. Even in spandex. I’ve seen some reviews of this film that weren’t that good, but I liked it. Ok too many bumping the head and bodily fluid jokes. But still funny. Funny lines delivered by funny actors. Maybe I was too close to this film. Maybe since…
If I were to cage fight this film it would have been close. Although I would’ve won in the end due to a stupid plot. Have DeNiro and Pacino gone nuts or do they just not care any more? If they don’t care, why? Are they to blame? Or is the Hollywood system chewing them…
“Traitor” starring Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce is a good movie. Yes, it covers the “blurred lines” theme of undercover agent movies. But this film adds the religious faith aspect to it that makes it a compelling story. Plus Don Cheadle is a very good actor. I saw him once at the Toyota dealership getting…
Was this a good film? I’m not sure. Maybe the filmmakers planned to leave me with this uneasy feeling. Or, maybe it just missed the mark. I don’t really know. The actors were all good. It’s based on an award-winning novel. The visuals were extremely interesting and fit the theme of the film. But, I…
“Dark Knight”. The last good movie I saw was “Dark Knight”. “Lakeview Terrace” is a stupid and predictable as I thought it would be. I’m so mad I wanted to Palm Strike the projectionist for hurting my eyes. I wanted to Palm Strike everyone involved in this film. Because this film wasted 2 hours of…
