this did well balancing un/likeable characters on both sides. and i liked how they made jim a bit of a brat right out the gate. the woman slapping him was a great moment. then when he’s in the camp he gets to be a little too incredible.
i thought it was overscored, especially in the evacuation […]

this was fine, and i liked the score. to enjoy it you have to buy into the 2 leads’ greatness, which is getting more and more difficult for me. i could buy into newman’s bit of light-heartedly being smarter than everyone else. i just couldn’t buy redford acting all tough with his jaw stuck out. […]

i first saw the preview for this in imax 3d and saw it was george miller so i was pretty psyched for it. then i saw the reviews were so-so and tempered my expectations. thankfully, cause this is a pretty standard kid movie. the decision to use a bunch of popular music […]

i first saw this a long time ago and all that stuck with me then was m. emmet walsh bemused at being mistaken for a ’swinger’. this time was a bit more memorable. the main thing is how impressive their camera movements are and how they can tell the story with little exposition. there are […]

i watched this and spaceballs back to back the other night/morning when i couldn’t sleep. i guess the 2 purposes of this were to see deniro cry and the scene with billy crystal at the big meeting. neither of which i found funny. all the setups were just beyond absurd, which is fine, but then […]

well this clinches it - i don’t like mel brooks. other than rick moranis i don’t think i laughed at anything in this. oh, except for the absurd ’spacebaaaals!’ song during the evacuation. it reminded me of the weird song during planes, trains, and automobiles that looped steve martin saying ‘i’m a reasonable guy!’ or […]

at one point i was ready to like this movie. it goes from jailbreak to gangsters to zombies really quick. then it hits epic showdown and gets stuck there for an hour. if they could have wrapped up that part in about 20 minutes i might have liked it, but it was tough to get […]

i started out watching this and expecting to compare it unfavorably to i spit on your grave, but this is way different and actually not too bad. the decision to make her a mute was a major mistake, they were too aggressive in trying to point out phallic power, and some of the actors and […]

i was apprehensive about seeing this because the tv show was so uncomfortable. i was thinking i should wait for the dvd so i could do something else during the cringe parts. but they seemed to know that and tried to alleviate it some by adding the parts without real people involved, cutting the real […]

caught this off turner classic; it was alright. i guess this was pretty serious for a movie at the time but seems really purile compared to other wilder stuff, especially double indemnity which came out a year earlier. i guess people were more scared of alcoholics than murderers. the brother character especially is such a […]
