i’m just conceding i’ll never match the wit of nate’s review titles.   anyway this was about what you’d expect.  the funniest parts for me usually were with john c. reilly - the first time ricky bobby is ready to race and ’cause i like to party’ especially.  i also laughed at the crystal […]

i can’t believe keitel was 52 when they made this.  the story is pretty well set up and it flows well, not harping too much on how much trouble he’s in, but enough that it’s a focus through the haze.  i thought they should have completely left the rape scene out - it’s the only […]

recorded this off tcm’s ‘underground with rob zombie’ show and wasn’t expecting much, but it really pulled me in.  i thought meyer was all camp but this was pretty much solid drama with some well-placed nudity.  i liked the story and its development a lot and there were some real nice small scenes like calif […]

caught this on amc’s ‘dvd on tv’ segment, so there was a constant scroll of text at the bottom of the screen.  i tried to ignore it and just watch the movie but it was tough.  anyway, i thought the pacing and development was great.  the cinematography was kind of all over the place, the […]

going in i expected this to be psychologically terrifying, and it was, but there are also a few viscerally terrifying sequences when they’re speaking to the kids at the camp that i didn’t expect.  during these they added some score and did some quick cuts but i think they should have kept it simple.  for […]

i was immediately put off by how the first scene was shot and put together. all handheld and just too deliberate in its shakiness and glorification of how cool gosling is. and they continued throughout but i mellowed out on both fronts and did appreciate the story and all the closeup rack/out of […]

i recorded this off amc and watched it over 5 sittings or so - not ideal conditions and predictably i wasn’t that into it. they start right into the mickey rooney stuff and what’s more they make a joke out of continually waking him up. anyone who’s woken me up at the wrong […]

going in i was prepared to be annoyed at a movie in africa through white eyes, but the protaganist is so flawed it was a lot more interesting than that. the third act was all ’save the white neck’ so it dipped, but amin’s speech to him was pretty great. ‘name one good […]

i’m a big miike fan and almost an apologist, and this is definitely lesser miike.  like white collar worker kintaro it’s a terrible formulaic script that he pushes over the edge so you have to get campy joy out of it.  there’s a lot of ridiculous stuff, like the super-cool cop who i had no […]

another one where i don’t usually like the story arc, but liked this particular one.  someone takes a look back at their life, sees their stubborness or whatever, goes through a catharsis, and ends the movie completely changed and better.  i just hate how simple it makes it all seem.  but this focuses more on […]
