"Rookie FBI agent, "Johnny Utah" (Keanu Reeves) has been assigned to the Los Angeles in to the Bank Robbery Division fresh out of training. He is a bit gung-ho, and is partnered up with a veteran (Gary Busey) who is fairly similar to him."Agent Angelo Pappas" (Busey) has been hunting a gang of professional bank robbers, each wearing a mask in the resemblance of former US Presidents which caused the authorities to nickname them "The Ex-Presidents.""Pappas" has a theory that the bank robbers are, in fact, surfers financing their travels in search of the best wave. However, not even the head of the division believes his theory, which is based on evidence.The two, with "Utah" going undercover, go to the local beaches to find possible suspects, as the robberies continue.Now, the two go in search of the bank robbers to bring them to justice.Let me say first, this is not the best movie I've seen as of late. There are more problems with this movie than entertainment.First of all, the acting ... "

"While Karina (and indieWIRE) sits off to the side celebrating the recent indie box office record-breaker, most of the interweb is talking about the weekend’s mainstream achievements. Well, actually people are mostly focusing on just the shocking success of Friday the 13th, which I believe broke records for its franchise, its genre, its rating and for President’s Day weekend (though not for the month of February). As for the other monumental marker, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, I’ve seen maybe two bloggers comment on how it’s just passed $100 million. How is this a remarkable feat? Well, not only does this make Paul Blart the highest grossing January opener ever, but the oft-derided comedy is also the first film to debut in January to reach the $100 million point (not cou "

"Kathryn Bigelow hasn’t made a feature film since 2002’s Harrison Ford starrer K19: The Widowmaker, unless you count the “blink and you’ll miss it” Mission Zero with Uma Thurman. The Hurt Locker returns her to real roots as a character-driven action director, and she gets some terrific performances out of relative unknowns Jeremy Denner and Anthony Mackie in this film about the war in Iraq. In our interview, she discusses fictionalizing real war stories, what The Hurt Locker does that other Iraq films haven’t, and the everlasting legacy of Point Break. How did this project come together? It really predominantly came from his account and his first hand observations. I worked on the shaping of the script with him but he wrote it. We kind of shepherded it together onto the screen.

"Hot Fuzz Yes, it's Christmas and I'm writing a movie review. Why not. My friend Noah came to visit me for a while and brought a couple films with him, including Hot Fuzz. I liked it about as much as Shaun of the Dead made by the same group of filmmakers. Which is to say, it was enjoyable enough but otherwise fairly forgettable. These guys are praised for having seen so many movies that they know all the cliches and are able to make a good parody / homage. I guess I enjoy the parody part, but it's apparent the filmmakers actually have respect for movies like Point Break or even *shudder* Bad Boys II, both of which are blatantly referenced several times by characters in the film. [POSSIBLE SPOILER] One interesting coincidence is that in the same weekend that we watched this movie, we also watched The Wicker Man which this movie is obviously referencing with it's primary plot points and main plot twist. Rating: 6/10 "

"Oh, Keanu Reeves, must you continue playing cops? I’d rather you did more Shakespeare, in which you’re actually more believable. But no, after Point Break (I consider FBI agents to be cops) and Speed, you have to go and do Street Kings and try to make us accept you as one of the hardest vice detectives to ever grace the big screen. Want a cookie? Or an Oscar? Even if you do pull off the equivalent of what Ethan Hawke did in Training Day, you’re not going to get the notice of the Academy. The only thing keeping you from being the least likely actor to be taken seriously as a tough undercover officer is the existence of Paul Walker, whose performance in The Fast and the Furious makes you look like Dirty Harry. Speaking of Training "

"Point BreakTo all of you out there who have listed this movie as a guilty pleasure, you should feel guilty. Real guilty.I gave this movie a 5/10 and that probably would have been even lower if I hadn't been watching it with Adam who said this was one of his favorite "verve" movies when a kid. He used to watch it every day as a kid wanted to emulate the lead characters apparently.Ok I can see how you could get sucked up in this movie, but it just makes me feel so dirty. It's a bunch of brainless macho stupidity.Yay guns, and cops and robbers, and shirtless football! Ok, there's a small portion of me that doesn't say that sarcastically, but only a small portion.It may be a funny line in the movie, but I think this movie is for those who are young, dumb, and full of come.Ridiculous.Rating: 5/10 "

"In 1991 Point Break was a fun movie. I was barely a teenager so I'll comment on it like it's 1991. It's kind of cool. "
