that’s one half of the script, the other half some pretty clunky expositional dialogue.  ‘i’m sorry your family isn’t allowed out of the refugee camp because they’re worried about releasing ruf members.’ and the like. 
they didn’t shy away from showing brutality at the start but ultimately  boiled everything down to good vs. bad in […]

i probably had too high of expectations for this and was pretty disappointed.  the makeup, costumes, setting, and just ambitiousness of the whole thing was enough for me to enjoy it.  some of the actors i think struggled with the language, the cgi was pretty bad in spots -as was the panther, and i didn’t […]

watching this it just seemed like ‘no other god’ redux.  any theory as to why it’s ‘lord’s name in vain’ i’ve come up with has been quite a stretch, but fun to think about.  same issues here i didn’t like in the first one - when she lays out her predicament to the doctor it […]

this was pretty manipulative and contrived to me.  putting a big death near the end always seems that way to me, but then replaying the running in slo-mo clinched it.  it’s got to be hard to lay out the science/belief issues in under an hour and the two main scenes that did this - auntie’s […]

this was very pleasant to watch but any thinking since the credits i’ve been a little sour on it.  the way they setup ferrell’s character is not realistic at all, especially in light of his transformation.  but they get away with it because i wasn’t exactly sure where things were going and was ok with […]

more very watchable but kind of disappointing waters.  he has some really good ideas and great taste in music and here some nice production design, but his scripting and staging a lot of times just annoys me.  especially during the ‘everyone hates pecker’ sequence where things just were way too obvious.  i guess things were […]

i’m a little torn on this one.  i loved the tv show and the dancing and the songs, but when the story started focusing exclusively on integration i didn’t really enjoy it much.  i liked how they balanced camp and a genuinely affectionate look back for the first half, and i ended up wanting that […]

they did a really good job keeping the right tone for this all the way through.  even when things got ridiculous and could have turned to boring ‘everything falls into place’ comedy they kept the tone even with the two main characters whose greatest ambition was to rock the crappy little bar and pay the […]

the two big musical numbers were interesting placed in here.  even though they brought the movie to a halt each time, they helped pace things out for the comedy.  i skipped through the first song but the second one was pretty fun until they put the grease on their faces. 
i really liked the scene […]
