Body: Quentin Tarantino garners a very big mixed reaction. A lot of people find him overrated, while a lot of people find him to be one of the more brilliant minds in cinema today. I tend to find myself leaning somewhere closer to the brilliant, so when a movie comes out he has written/directed it tends to be a big event for me. Enter Inglorious Basterds. It follows three main stories: that of a group of Jewish soldiers lead by Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) that are attempting to kill as many Nazis as possible, much to the chagrin of Adolf Hitler himself. It also focuses on German officer Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), known by the Jewish people as the “Jew Hunter” due to his ability to sniff them out of hiding. Finally, we see Shoshanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent), a woman whose entire family was snuffed out by Hans Landa and his men. The film is pretty typical Tarantino. A misconception is this is a remake of a film with the same title; they have nowhere near the same plot. Quentin hasn’t lost his knack for dialogue, and may be at his best here. Brad Pitt was superb as Aldo Raine. You could tell he was really having fun with the character. One thing I’ve always enjoyed about Pitt is he’s not afraid to take on interesting, different roles. This is far from anything I’ve seen him do, and he shined in it well. A particular scene with him I must admit though, no one shocked me more so than Christoph Waltz, playing Hans Landa. He was phenomenal, and seemed to steal every scene he was involved with. I hope to see him in more English language films from here on out. A lot of people will compare this film to his other works, and rightfully so: people will always compare a film-maker’s catalog. If I were to compare, I would honestly say this film could potentially be his best yet. It’s too early to tell, as I’ve had multiple viewings of each other one. I must say this does give his other flicks a run for their money. If you like Tarantino, you will not be disappointed.

Body: I’ve always been a sucker for alien movies. They just intrigue me. I always believed there to be something out there, so they spoke to me. With that said, there isn’t a whole lot of substance when it comes to alien movies. A few classics, but a good majority of them are duds. The best movie I’ve seen in 2009 so far is District 9. It follows a man named Wikus (Sharlto Copley) who is leading MNU through a movement of aliens from District 9 into District 10, which is smaller and has less roomy homes. The aliens just want to go home, but Earth-dwellers won’t let them leave. The story is well-thought out. It goes back and forth between a faux-documentary and a standard, fictionalized story, and it works shockingly well. The characters are all well-thought out and make perfect sense. Sharlto Copley has never acted in a film, with the exception of the short film District 9 was based on, but he does a phenomenal job as Wikus. The evolution his character completes and is forced into is remarkable, and he plays it perfectly. He doesn’t overdo the naivety and loveable idiocy that is portrayed at the beginning, and he isn't exactly the ultimate badass at the end. It's a believe arc. District 9 is well-written, well-acted, and well-directed. This is going to be on many people’s top 10 lists at the end of the year, and likely somewhere high.

Body: Time travel is a tricky subject. Many films attempt it, but a lot of films also mess it up. It’s a very touchy topic to take on. Timecrimes takes swing, and hits a home run. It’s one of the best movies involving time travel that I have ever seen. Timecrimes follows Hector; a man sent traveling back in time after being chased in the wilderness by a strange man with a bandaged face. There really isn’t much more to be said about the plot without giving away the twists and turns that it follows. I watched the film with the overdubbing. I can’t say anything about the subtitles, but the overdubbing could have been better, but wasn’t bad. At no point did I ever get distracted by the English in the film. The acting itself is hard to say, again, because it wasn’t the actors themselves speaking. The direction and writing of the film is very excellent, both tasks by Nacho Vigalondo. This is his first film behind the lens, and he is starting out incredibly strong. His shots are powerful, and there is not a wasted frame anywhere. He does a lot with his time, and makes it all worthwhile. Timecrimes is a must-see for any fan of time travel, sci-fi, and unexpected twists and turns.

Body: I didn’t have much expectations going into the Last House on the Left. I’m not a horror film buff, and generally don’t rush to see these types of movies. Expecting a typical, tired movie in a genre full of the familiar, I only watched with half-interest. After a slow start, I found myself hooked into the movie I originally hardly cared for. The Last House on the Left follows a family that is going for revenge against a group of criminals that torture, rape, and kill their daughter and her friend. One thing I particularly enjoyed was the lack of bumbling, idiotic cops who completely ignore police protocol in similar situations. In fact there was just no police in general. It gave the film a far more realistic tone than other movies in this genre that I feel is sorely lacking. All the actors in the film did a wonderful job. Sarah Paxton, in particular, I found to be excellent. The pain and suffering she experienced she really brought to life. I’m used to seeing horror films with poor acting, and this film definitely defied that standard. Spencer Treat Clark portrayed Justin very well. I don’t think he will have any problem finding acting work. Director Dennis Iliadis I felt did a very good job of making the suspense stick, and during a very important scene involving a character’s rape, he kept it as tasteful as a scene of that nature could possibly be. He made interesting choices in cinematography as well as soundtrack, and truly made the film unique. The only concerns people will have is comparing it to the original. I haven’t seen the original film, but after watching this version I read up on the history of the film and I will admit that some undertones that you are supposed to feel and witness are lost in translation. In particular a torture scene near the end of the film seemed to have contradicted the complete point of the original. With that said Wes Craven had a lot to do with this version as well as the first, so if that’s the route he decided to take with the reboot, more power to him. Anyone tuning into the Last House on the Left is in for a suspenseful, well-made film. A treat in a tired genre that pumps out awful remake after remake, this update is fresh, very well-acted, and excellently directed.

Body: I had very high hopes for The Goods: The Don Ready Story. I had seen the standard trailer and the red-band trailer as well, and thought it looked hilarious. What I got was an uneven outing. I found myself laughing hysterically at some parts and wincing at others. In the title role, Jeremy Piven played the jerk well, but he’s been doing it for years on Entourage so it was nothing new to him. He was supposed to be the main character, and he was, but he didn’t have as many jokes as I was expecting. He played backseat in the funny department. Ed Helms did great as his nemesis Paxton. Helms is always on-point and rarely will you find him to not be funny. Dave Koechner, Ving Rhames, and Kathryn Hahn all played roles on Piven’s team, and all were funny in their own right. Rhames probably had the best line of the movie, specifically when talking about his past sexual exploits. All the supporting roles in the film were good, and Craig Robinson was his usual hilarious self The problem I found was a lot of the jokes just didn’t land, and that isn’t good in what appeared to be an improv-comedy. Robinson and Helms were the only consistently funny characters, as all the others wavered between hilarious and flat. Will Ferrell had an amazing cameo in the movie as McDermott, told in a flashback. The second and third Ferrell cameos however, again, fall flat and just don’t land. The Goods is an easy-premise with paper-thin substance. This is a comedy that will deliver some laughs, but won’t reach the levels of quoting that Anchorman or 40 Year Old Virgin possesses.

This is a comedy that will deliver some laughs, but won’t reach the levels of quoting that Anchorman or 40 Year Old Virgin possesses.

Body: Let’s face it, The Time Traveler’s Wife this weekend shouldn’t be your first choice headed into the theaters this weekend considering District 9 is out the same weekend. However, if you have a lady in your life that is taking you to see this movie, or you’re the lady yourself, you really could do a lot worse than the Time Traveler’s Wife. Eric Bana finds himself in the main role, playing Henry. At the age of 6, Henry is involved in a car accident that kills his mother, and for reasons wisely unexplained, also sending him hurling through the space-time continuum. He visits Clare, a young girl who grows up to love him, played by Rachel McAdams. The rest of the tale chronicles their struggles with love, marriage, children, and more. Bana does a good job as Henry, and makes his confusion and love for Clare come to life. McAdams does fine in this, but it’s not new material for her. She’s been the love interest in epic love tales many times. Ron Livingston shows up as Henry and Clare’s good friend, but his actions are confusing. At the beginning he seems apprehensive towards Henry. Time passes in the story and all of a sudden they are friends, without ever addressing their issues. Time travel is a touchy subject, as it is used in many instances of film and television. This film takes the path of not bothering to explain why he’s traveling. It makes sense, as this is not about the traveling itself, but just taking a different approach to a romantic drama film. None of the scenes of time-traveling seemed off or inappropriate. What you get when you take away the elements of time travel is a standard, run-of-the-mill love story. There is really not much separating it from the rest of the same films in the genre, but the time-traveling does give it a fresh feel. I can’t say how this compares to the book, as I’ve never read it, but Time Traveler’s Wife never feels boring, stiff, or unrealistic despite the supernatural elements. If you’re a guy taking a girl out to this movie, you might not love the film, but you won’t be bored praying for the film to end.

Body: Informers is a film that follows interweaving characters who are all connected by a very thin premise – they are all going to the same concert. Set in the 1980’s, There are a plethora of characters, all of which are boring and have nothing of importance to say. Billy Bob Thornton plays William; a man who wants both his wife (Kim Bassinger) and his mistress (Winona Ryder) but neither will share. Mickey Rourke plays a useless character that doesn’t get enough time to be effective. Chris Isaak is a creepy father who tries to steal away his son’s new lady on their Hawaiian vacation. All of the aforementioned characters problems are there, and are generally legitimate, however all of the personality traits and quirks these people possess don’t even leave you rooting for them to overcome their issues: you just don’t care. The majority of the screen time goes for Jon Foster, who no longer wants his girlfriend (Amber Heard) to have sex with the man he is having sex with (Austin Nichols). His internal debate just seems to be immaterial and selfish since he’s asking his woman to be faithful when he cannot be. Amber Heard is wasted in the movie as his girlfriend, who barely has any speaking roles. Her entire existence in the movie is to have sex and be nude in every single scene she is in. I actually found myself shocked in a scene when I saw her wearing clothing. Informers is a jumbled up, boring mess that loses you every second of the way. There are too many characters with too many problems to even know who is who or to care about anyone. The gratuitous nudity was bothersome, even as a straight male. Unfortunately for director Gregor Jordan, the nudity was the only interesting scene in this 90-minute waste of time. Foster’s character states in a car during the film “I need someone to tell me what is good and what is bad.” Well, Mr. Foster, this film is bad.

Body: Visioneers is a weird movie. Let’s get that out of the way, and move on. It’s a very different look at the everyday boredom of office work, and also lampoons our nation’s willingness to let news reporters influence our actions. It straddles the comedy/tragedy line perfectly, and keeps you enticed and interested throughout, even as you’re unsure what the hell is going on. Visioneers follows the hilarious Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) as George Washington Winsterhammerman, a descendent of the nation’s first president. He works at an omnipotent company know as the Jeffers Corporation that essentially runs the free world, and even has the president in its pockets. He hates his job, but the bigger problem is that people are spontaneously combusting due to stress in their lives, and George has all the symptoms, which include dreams and ambitions. A lot of people that watch this movie are going to be looking for Zach Galifianakis’ usual brand of humor, and will walk away disappointed. As a fan of his, I want to say this is not a bad thing. He plays the role nearly straight and most of the jokes in the film come from outside of him. He does a great job of being a “dramatic” actor, in the loosest sense of the word. Judy Greer does an excellent job as the paranoid wife who is willing to do anything the television says to do to keep from exploding, word for word. She is funny and dark at the same time, and really plays her part well. The other supporting actors really hammer home their roles, as James LeGros plays George’s brother, and D.W. Moffett really gets under your skin as Jeffers, the face of his namesake corporation. The movie is written and directed by brothers Jared and Brandon Drake, and this is their first film. They do an excellent job as none of the shots feel out of place, and all flow well together. They seemed to let Zack do his own thing in a few spots and it really paid dividends for them. Their storytelling and directing combination really came out successful, and should lead to a long career in film if they can continue this quality. After I finished the movie, I still wasn’t exactly sure what I had just finished watching. After much contemplation, it all came to me, and I loved it. This movie is not for everybody though, as it is off-the-wall and doesn’t follow many film formulas. With that said, this is a film that I can see becoming a cult classic of indie lovers everywhere.

Body: It's not that the story itself of Bridge to Nowhere is uninteresting. And it's not that ALL of the actors are bad. In fact, I found myself caring about a couple of the side characters, and enjoying certain scenes with the side characters. The problem comes with the implausibility of some elements of the story, and the acting by the main character. Bridge to Nowhere is about four friends from the rough streets of Pittsburgh. They are all struggling to pay bills, and earn money by taking bets on sports games and dead-end jobs while they each have their own family problems they struggle with. A chance meeting with two newly-arrived women, who happen to be hookers, sets them into a spiral of prostitution and drug-dealing that leads them to financial riches. The story follows the rise and fall of their empire. I found Ving Rhames to be spot-on in his role as a drug-lord giving the young men advice on how to deal for a cut of their profits. He was humorous in parts, and also heartless when the story turns. Danny Masterson did a good job as the friend torn between his money and love. The other two friends, played by Daniel London and Sean Derry (his first – and only – theatrical role) did a fine job as well. However after that, the casting seems odd. Ben Crowley plays Brian, the main character who occupies nearly every scene. However Crowley just didn’t get it done as the self-proclaimed catalyst of the group. He speaks in a white-guy-who-wants-to-be-black accent, when none of the other characters do. His dramatic scenes intending viewers to feel sympathy for him are made less potent by his poor acting. Thomas Ian Nicholas is a talented actor wasted in the film as the fifth friend who opts not to join his buddies in their illegal activities, and rarely makes the screen. Why not give him a more important role, or demote the screen time Brian receives? Maybe a role-reversal would’ve benefited both. The main theme of the movie is that these guys made a lot of money and lost it all. However, there seems to be an issue with the math in their finance department. They claim to have made over seven million dollars in the course of one year, selling drugs and with their prostitutes. However, they only sold drugs to the men using the prostitutes. And they only had five of them. The numbers just don’t seem to add up. I feel the writers should have maybe looked into the prices hookers charged and how that would add up before filming began. Overall, the film could’ve benefited by some casting changes and a little bit of foresight by the filmmakers. Blair Underwood seemed to be a very serviceable director in only his second movie behind a camera, and wouldn't mind watching additional films he helms. However, Crowley is an albatross around the neck of what could have been ultimately an entertaining film.
