So many unanswered questions...
| Movie: | crank | Rating: | R |
| Reviewer: | tpb | Date: | October 11, 2009 |
Movies can be evaluated on so many levels. The subjectivity of likeability and interests and what one gleans from a film can evoke so much in one and so little in another. Sometimes it's not so much what one sees, as what one doesn't that creates for the viewer his or her memorable film-going moments …
Rourke Makes The Wrestler
| Movie: | The Wrestler | Rating: | R |
| Reviewer: | PoseyDozer | Date: | July 19, 2009 |
With Michael Jackson's death so lately in the news, it's hard to begin watching The Wrestler without thinking about plastic surgery gone awry. The Wrestler unintentionally plays on the public appetite for celebrity face lifts by opening with several long shots of Mickey Rourke's character from the back. When his face is finally exposed, you can't help but spend at least a few moments clucking over the alterations he's made …
Great Cast Breathes New Life into Beloved Franchise
| Movie: | Star Trek | Rating: | PG-13 |
| Reviewer: | PoseyDozer | Date: | May 11, 2009 |
Let's get the bad stuff out of the way first: The music. Biblical. Over-dramatic …
Something to Talk About
| Movie: | A Wednesday | Rating: | NR |
| Reviewer: | PoseyDozer | Date: | April 22, 2009 |
In A Wednesday, director Neeraj Pandey explores the impact of terrorism on ordinary Indian people. There are no muscular, wise-cracking action heroes here. No gorgeous women …
Bourne, Bourne again, and Bourne again.
| Movie: | The Bourne Identity | Rating: | PG-13 |
| Reviewer: | tpb | Date: | April 19, 2009 |
The Bourne trilogy (The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)) is, arguably, the best Action Movie series out there. Sure Die Hard is perfect. But Die Hard 2: Die Harder is just plain difficult to watch …
The Kitchen Sink's In There Too
| Movie: | Ghajini | Rating: | NR |
| Reviewer: | PoseyDozer | Date: | April 5, 2009 |
If Shakespeare were alive today, I suspect he'd be writing scripts in Bollywood. Indian audiences who consume these movies demand comedy, romance, melodrama, action, musical numbers, and an intermission — all packed into one three-hour-long film. Ghajini exuberantly delivers on every count …
Show Me
| Movie: | Tell No One | Rating: | R |
| Reviewer: | PoseyDozer | Date: | April 3, 2009 |
Nothing beats a well-crafted thriller of the kind that Tell No One aspires to be. The wife of the film's protagonist, Alex Beck, is murdered as the film opens. Eight years later, Beck is implicated in her death when two more bodies are discovered near the murder scene …
Sadly, This One's Miss-Able
| Movie: | The Princess and the Warrior | Rating: | R |
| Reviewer: | PoseyDozer | Date: | February 27, 2009 |
The Princess and the Warrior will disappoint anyone who has seen Run Lola Run. The latter film, which also starred Franka Potente and was written and directed by Warrior director Tom Tykwer, should not be missed. Unfortunately, The Princess and the Warrior probably should …
Bride of Spinal Tap in three sentences
| Movie: | The Princess Bride | Rating: | PG |
| Reviewer: | tpb | Date: | February 22, 2009 |
The Princess Bride speaks for itself. With its tongue-in-cheek fantasy storyline (Buttercup (Robin Wright) to Westley (Cary Elwes) in the Fire Swamp: "What about ROUS-es?" Westley: "Rodents of unusual size? I don't believe they exist"); hilarious dialogue (Prince Humperdinck (Chris Saranden): "Surrender!" Westley: "You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept. "); swashbuckling swordsmen (Inigo (Mandy Patinkin) "My name is Inigo Montoya …
Sting for a day. Who will it be?
| Movie: | Nine Queens | Rating: | R |
| Reviewer: | tpb | Date: | February 19, 2009 |
Nine Queens (originally titled Nueve Reinas) is something of an Argentinian take on The Sting (1973). Two con men hook up to scam a stamp collector into buying forgeries of the famous Nine Queens - nine stamps on a sheet with the likeness of Queen Victoria. (What is it about Queen Victoria? She is one formidable-looking woman in that famous profile-pose that adorns so many movie sets …
