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…
“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…
“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…
I was all set to see “W.” but in my heart I knew it would be stupid. It looked like a low budget made-for-tv movie complete with bad wigs. So I changed my ticket and saw guy Richie’s latest limey gangster flick. After reading Mancini’s “W.” review I know I made the right choice. Guns,…
Riddley Scott’s new film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crow is an okay film. Seriously, nothing has blown me away since Dark Knight. I know I say that in every review now but c’mon! It’s not my fault. Everyone in this is a good actor. Not sure why Russell Crow put on all the weight…
Let’s call it Pride and Boring because I fell asleep during a daytime showing of this film. I like all the actors in it and they give good performances but this took way to much time. It’s like watching a 2 hour NYPD Blue episode. Wrap it up. I got crappy food to eat on…
Clint Eastwood is a really good director and this is a really good film. Riveting performance by Angelina Jolie and supporting cast makes it even better. I’m so glad oscar season is starting because the late summer/early fall is a train wreck. This film kept me interested the whole time, always wanting to see more.…
I like the idea of showing a darker Bond. A Bond who doesn’t have gadgets and catch phrases. Just brooding rage and deadly precision. But this film is a little slow at points. Daniel Craig is a great 007, but Quantum was just ok. The film picks up right after were “Casino Royale” ended which…
When I see a biopic I always ask, “Is this how it really went down?” In “Frost/Nixon” I vowed to renew my membership to the Museum of TV and Radio so I can watch the actual interviews. Also want to listen to as many of the Nixon Whitehouse tapes as possible. I want to do…
I first want to thank my parents for never putting my brother and sisters in Catholic school. We went to a “hippie” church in the 70’s that had guitar mass with weirdo modern dancers, patchouli oil and insane amounts of plaid and hair. It wasn’t until I was in my 20’s that I learned that…
