Body: Undeterred by the countless warnings I received on this movie, I watched it, expecting an impactful story of two objectified women taking out their rage through the only means available to them. It's anything but impacting. From both a plot and a technical viewpoint, it's awful. The film is very poorly made with very low quality film, awful framing, and extreme close-ups that usually lose the subject. The plot is thin at best and fails to make any kind of statement. If the women had been normal before their various traumatic experiences, then I might be able to buy into their murder-and-sex spree, but both were women of ill-repute with little reason to snap. Though it was created to disturb, it really just bored me. The characters are impossible to relate to or feel empathy for, the plot is hashed together, and the graphic content is almost laughable in its pointlessness. Perhaps I'm just very jaded, but this film utterly fails to communicate any kind of social commentary.

Body: I just saw "Ratatouille" tonight, and I'm baffled as to why it's receiving such rave reviews. It's not bad, but it's not that good either. It just...is. It's as forgettable as "Ghost Rider." Hardly anything stands out. The story is stale, there's very little humor (unless you enjoy endless slapstick), and the characters are shrug-inducing. The animation is very good though. It's impressive to see how far Pixar has come technically. I just wish that the story was better executed. There's only so much humor you can get out of a kid being controlled by a rat. Ironically, most of the humor came from identifying which Disney movie stories were almost outright copied in the script. There is, of course, the very obvious nod to "The Little Mermaid" when the father rat warns his naive son to "stay away from humans, they're dangerous" among other similarities. And there's the "American Tail" reference with him being separated from his family, drifting through the sewers, and finally running into them in the big city. And then there's the very odd similarity between the head chef and Gollum. Many of his facial expressions nearly had me yelping out, "Gollum! Gollum!" or "My Precioussssssss!" as he leaps for the papers the rat steals. A friend called this film delicious. To me it tasted like stale graham crackers. It's fine in a pinch, but it's not all that great. Overall, it's not bad or great. It's just ok. (By the way, I felt the same about "Monsters, Inc." and "Finding Nemo." So now you know if you can heed my review. If you loved those movies, you'll enjoy this. If not, then heed me...heeeeeed meeeee!)

Body: I've been waiting for this movie for a while ever since it showed in the Dublin independent movie hall. Finally, after years, it's been released to America, and I don't know why it took so long. Perhaps it was trying to put some distance between it and "The Matrix" because the two share some minute similarities. This low-budget movie demands much concentration from the viewer and demands that they figure some details out for themselves, but it's ultimately quite rewarding in the end with a twist that neither I nor my friend expected. The story centers around a very awkward accountant who volunteers to spy on rival companies for a technology company called DigiCorp. What he doesn't realize is that far more is going on than merely spying on trade shows. Soon he is embroiled in a world that he cannot understand nor escape from. Relying on shadowy figures and his panicky nuerosis, he gropes blindly from one revelation to another. Lucy Liu's acting could have been better, but what can you expect from one of the new Charlie's Angels? While the story isn't as fast-paced or exciting as it could have been, it is nonetheless a smart sci-fi thriller that will keep you guessing.

Body: I always feel better about myself after watching a movie like “Closer” because the characters are so messed up that they make me look angelic. Rife with graphic sexual dialogue and nudity, the film isn’t for everyone, but it’s a well-done and raw film that strips mankind down to its basest instincts and lays its feelings bare for all to see. I liked it for its honesty and powerful dialogue. I would even watch it again, but, like “Sin City,” it left me feeling a little dirty after the credits rolled. Clive Owen is as masterful as ever, and Natalie Portman does very well also. Jude Law is so good at being detestable, and he’s very detestable in this film. Julia Roberts said in an interview that she hated her character in this movie because she’s so disgusting, and she is. Damien Rice has two songs in the movie (“The Blower’s Daughter” & “Cold Water”) which adds a lot of depth and meaning to the movie because the characters, for all their selfishness, still cannot take their eyes off of each other. This has disastrous results for some but delivers hope to others. Ultimately, it’s about forgiveness and being able to see past the filth to see the person you love and stick with them through their follies.

Body: Inheritances are usually good things such as values, a good reputation or wealth inherited from one generation to the next. However, this inheritance is the last thing anyone would want. This Danish film is a scathing criticism of how social pressures and the drive to succeed can taint and destroy even the kindest and happiest of people. The film opens with the main character happy and content with owning and running a restaurant while his pretty wife acts on the stage. They make love every night and live only for each other. However, his idyllic life is shatttered when his father commits suicide, forcing him to take over the family steel conglomerate to save it from financial collapse. What he doesn't realize is that this job will demand so much of him that he will have to choose between his wife and being loyal to the family. Being the responsible eldest, he chooses his family and loses his wife, his son and his idyllic life to become a shell of a man, a mere shadow of his former self, devoid of any emotion, care and compassion. Relentlessly depicting the dark side of capitalism, the film shows how easily one can lose himself and his decency all in the name of "business." This film is a definite morality play that is extrememly relevant to a world that values wealth and possessions over love and affection, for, though he provides a lavish life for his wife, she knows that's not what life's about and leaves him to wallow in his self-made misery. Definitely not an upper, the film is still vital, especially to foreign film buffs who will find this Denmark film to be a gem worthy of Criterionizing.

Body: The film was pretty pointless and sloppily "resolved" several outstanding questions and avoided others altogether. It's a giant grinder of ideas with chunks flying every direction. It won't make sense even if you have seen the previous two. If you want my full lambasting of it, check out my latest review.

Body: In summation, Pirates 3squpkI3k can best be explained by the following equation: Story = Bad Convoluted, Pointless Plot = Good Special Effects = Popular, profitable movie Convoluted, Pointless Plot + Special Effects x 100 = Pirates 3squpkI3k It basically wasn't worth the money spent to see it. Sure, it was relatively nice to look at, but it was a case study of style over substance. If you look beyond the countless explosions and soaring body count, you'll realize that there isn't much of a story there. Did they have to spend 3 hours to bring Captain Jack Sparrow from the dead so he can kill Davy Jones? Hardly. They just like to screw us, though. I think the studios are having a secret competition between themselves of who can sucker-punch the audience the most. Right now, Spidey 3 is in first place with Pirates 3squpkI3k rapidly catching up. This 3rd (and unfortunately probably not the last) installment in the Pirates franchise is the darkest and least funny of the bunch. It has more plot holes than plot points, more plot twists than a salsa dancer on speed, and more impossible feats of heroics than...you get the idea. Their mantra seems to have been, "When in doubt, blow something up" or "When the plot falls apart, distract the sheep with lots of fighting and stunts." Death becomes entertainment, and what better way to excite and entertain the audience than with lots and lots and lots of deaths? Pirates 3squpkI3k is like cotton candy with roman candles shooting out of it. There's a lot going on and pretty to look at, but there's nothing actually there. It's brainless and pointless with enough recycled material to make you think you were watching a mash-up of the previous two films. One of the most intellectually insulting elements is the character of Elizabeth Swan. Her acting was horrendous. She's a pretty face, nothing more. She was so unconvincing that my Dad asked me, "Is she the child of some famous Hollywood couple? Because I can't think of any other reason why she got that job." Well put. Movies usually require some willing suspension of disbelief but asking the audience to believe that she could be a pirate lord who can rip off the Braveheart speech nearly word for word to inspire the fierce pirate hordes is asking just a bit too much. *shudder* I still shudder whenever I recall that pirated version of William Wallace's "Sons of Scotland" speech. What a lazily written movie. The entire film is such a disappointment. It just goes to show that even a $300 million dollar budget can't buy a quality story. Save your money and go rent Gladiator or The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This summer's films are turning out to be stinkers.

Please feel free to comment again.*** Blade RunnerChutes of flame pierce the darkening sky; an eye fills the screen, its glossy retina reflecting the flames outside; Vangelis’s haunting and moody score slams the viewer into their seat. And this is just in the first minute.“Blade Runner” was one of those rare films that immediately captured me and never let go. The acting is okay, the script is decent, and I’ve never really noticed if there’s much of a story or not. Like Altman’s “3 Women” and Gilliam’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” “Blade Runner” is more of an experience, a sensory immersion, than anything else. Its mood is so tangible and unsettling, that I feel as if that nightmarish version of Los Angeles actually exists.Harrison Ford plays the titular character, a retired cop who gets pulled in for one last job. He’s the best at hunting down and “retiring” renegade replicants, and there are several on the loose that require his abilities. While there is action and violence, the premise acts more like a tapestry to paint a rich experience upon.It’s a very different kind of sci-fi that will either alienate or absorb its viewer. The cinematography, lighting, sound, and score all masterfully weave together to create a creepy yet intriguing apocalyptic future that’s both recognizable and alien.In this nightmarish vision, both human and robot struggle to find their identity and place in a society that seems to be unraveling. Vast apartment buildings stand vacant, the streets are filled with bizarre vagrants, and memories may be nothing more than technological constructs. In that world of false pasts, a decaying present, and an uncertain future, they have to act out to change their future and make themselves who they want to be, instead of just accepting what they were created to be.Initially shunned, this film has stood the test of time to remain one of the few sci-fi films that continues to amaze and be relevant. Criterion would do well to add this to its ranks. Extras I would like: Making-of featurette Interviews with Ridley Scott Interviews with the cast, specifically Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer (Also, I want to know why Ford hated this movie so much) Trailers Commentary Interview with the producers on the journey from its disastrous release, through its enduring legacy, and on to its lasting cult status. *This review only pertains to the director’s cut. I haven’t seen the original with the voiceover and happy ending, and I would prefer not to. The less that’s explained, the better.

Should I re-purchase my entire collection just so the image is a bit crisper? I'm thinking no. Besides, I kind of like the intimate feel of standard DVDs as opposed to the sharp clarity of Blu-Ray or HD. Is it really worth spending $25+ per title just for some enhanced sound and picture?

Body: Neo-Noir is an odd beast. It encompasses everything from “L.A. Confidential” to “The Usual Suspects” to “Pulp Fiction.” One of the latest additions to this genre is the satirical “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.”Whereas most neo-noir films take themselves and their content seriously, KKBB makes fun of the genre while also remaining true to its finer points. Like other neo-noir films, nothing is as it seems and plot twists fly around as fast and plentiful as bullets. This film's difference is that the lead character knows he’s in a movie and pokes fun at the narrator device as well as miraculous survivals and how-did-I-not-think-of-that plot twists.The story begins with our lead man running away from cops after trying to boost some toys. In his haste, he accidentally runs into a movie audition and manages to land the part. He’s then flown out to Hollywood where a private detective starts giving him lessons on how to be a convincing detective on screen. On his first night of training, they accidentally witness a murder that embroils both of them in a convoluted murder mystery/thriller. Throughout it all, our unassuming lead man hooks up with his high school crush (who is, of course, somehow embroiled in it as well) and wittily slices up L.A. life in a sharp script that would make Joss Whedon proud. The film’s greatest assets are its sharp, sarcastic dialogue and bizarre plot twists. Despite its rambling, obtuse ending, the film is very enjoyable and highly recommended.
