Some movies just don’t make a big impression, so here’s a quick take on what I thought.
I really don’t need a reason to see Scarlett Johansson kick ass for an hour and twenty minutes so this was an easy selection for me. Everything is great except for that last twenty minutes when things really go off the rails. That first hour though is so much fun and has some great action.…
Nothing about this movie is scary, the horror scenes are dull and none of the characters are interesting let alone compelling. I should’ve wrote this review right after I watched it because I hardly remember a thing about it except the feeling of dullness. Maybe had I seen the first 2 Joy Ride films it…
I really enjoy Billy Corben as a filmmaker and was looking forward to this documentary about backyard brawls in Florida, but I never could get a handle on what he was trying to say. This came off more as a hype film than than anything else. I enjoyed how the film was shot and learning more…
Just a charming film from beginning to end. Garbage tells the story of two garbagemen in Hollywood who accidentally find a discarded Oscar statue and how it changes their lives. There are funny moments but they come as often as you would think. The charm comes from the performances of the two lead actors, Jed…
This movie is crazy, sometimes that hurts the film more than helps it, but overall I liked it. A movie that tried to be more gonzo than actually focusing on the story and the characters but there’s also a sense of fun and wackiness that you can’t help but get behind. So much less of…
One of the most original and unique documentaries I can remember, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard’s 20,000 Days On Earth is a chronicle of Nick Cave’s life and career told through his own words and those around him. There’s a narrative feel to this movie that marks Cave’s 20,000th day on earth and appearances by Kylie…
An exciting and interesting science fiction movie that has so much style and mood expertly set. What is set up as a road trip movie quickly turns and we’re treated to a seriously good science fiction movie that always seems to be one step ahead. The rules are never really that clearly defined which can…
I am such a big fan of these Korean and Japanese revenge films and this one is something special. Outstanding acting from the two leads that really bring a fierceness and also a humanity to the film. Min-sik Choi has been a favorite of mine since I first experienced Oldboy and Byung-hun Lee has quietly…
One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. I did a rewatch of this, so it’s kind of cheating, but it’s just so good. A movie that starts out simply as a tribute to a friend and a love letter to a child who will never know his father. What unfolds is such a unique…
This movie is so infuriating. Basically a rehash of any zany bachelor/wedding movie. You know you’re going to have problems when you basically loathe every major character. There’s a best man speech that starts off funny and then quickly gets distasteful and then painfully goes on much too long. Kris Marshall I really like but…
