Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
Nothing like the 1992 original masterpiece. And NOTHING like that bland, generic poster they’re trying to promote this thing with. This is a lively, funny, bizarre, BIZARRE ride that dances wildly on the boundaries of taste, genre and sanity. You’ll be hearing a lot about how this is Cage’s [...]
The Merry Gentleman
Michael Keaton hasn’t done his career (once glowing huge with blockbusters like Batman and several classic comedies and dramadies) any favors since inexplicably taking on Jack Frost. But few actors are capable of being this smart, this funny, this watchable, this dark and eccentric on such a quiet, understated level (though he has [...]
Land of the Lost
Really really really not a good movie. Personally, I think the problem rose from deciding to make it PG-13 instead of PG and casting Ferrell as a prideful doofus scientist rather than a dad. You may know very little about the original show - but if you know anything, you likely know [...]
Memories of Murder
If you liked Fincher’s masterpiece Zodiac, you should try this flick from Korea. Another one that is much more about the maddeningly unsatisfying years of detective work trying to catch a serial killer…rather than the serial killing. I suspect that’s one of the reasons kids didn’t like Zodiac, actually - the lack of [...]
Don’t know why I wasn’t in love with this movie - too high of expectations? I get the innovation, but still it’s dated. Angie Dickinson, though, might be the sexiest person to ever grace silver screen. If you don’t feel like seeing her in this, check out the huge masterpiece entertainment Rio Bravo….
Basically, Jason Bateman is one of the finest, funniest, most watchable actors working right now - and he never ever adds a hint of nonsense. He carries the hell out of this movie, which is also pretty funny and watchable.
What a strange strange little slapstick movie. I watched it (because of Tarantino’s inclusion of it as one of the greatest ten movies ever made) late late at night and meant to watch it again (without the impairing fog), but discovered to my great dismay that I had accidentally returned it instead of another movie. [...]
Great script from a great play. An incredible performance from Macy, but his co-star gives one of the worst performances I have ever witnessed. And it’s just the two of them. The whole time. Mamet has the absolute worst taste in actresses. It’s fine with me if he wants to marry them - but to [...]
Wink, wink - nudge, nudge. That’s the name of the game here. And it kills all the dry, disturbing humour the non-fiction book so brilliantly invokes to tell a story about some strange and scary stuff the US may or may not have been involved in over the past few decades. The movie is pleasant [...]
