What can I say................ |
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
I saw it in theaters and it stuck as one of my favorites of the year. It's been awhile. Then I watched it again. And remembered why. |
The Aristocats.
(Hey, I have a one-year old...try not to flame too much) |
Clerks 2 with unused podcast commentary.
|
The Card Player (2004)
I'm sorry, but this film didn't really do it for me. |
Part of Pulp Fiction, but I fell asleep... again

Bikini Bloodbath - I thought it was amusing. Some of it worked and most of it did not, but not a total loss.

10,000 B.C.
Given the hype, AND the endless (limitless is a more fitting word) possibilities for CGI to be exploited to the full in this premise, Emmerich's epic was a letdown. For all the movie-lovers who love a good helping of CGI in bits, this movie will rock your socks, but sorry...even with a totally open mind, it failed to impress me. Plotwise there's not much to write home about - it concerns the survival instincts of various human tribes, kidnapping, rescue and adventure, and confrontations. You have a good idea by now. The characterisation is decent, with a gorgeous Camilla Belle leading the pack. The background score is overtly loud and mis-fitting in some places...BUT, the cinematography is absolutely dazzling. Some of the battle and confrontation sequences are exceptional in an otherwise flat movie. I would say the direction was the biggest drawback. Emmerich couldn't decide whether to go for storyline/drama, or CGI-loaded sheer histrionics. The end product - a double dish of bloated-splotched experience which looks to promise so much, and delivers so little in the end. Want to see a better concoction? Catch Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C. BUT, for the entertainment in sporadic moments in this one, I will give it ***. |

Dead Meat
I didn't go in expecting a lot and really got what I expected in terms of acting, script, and direction. I did however get a lot more than I thought I would in the gore department, and even toward the end when things started to drag the gore level was kept at a respectable level. Honestly, it almost reminded me of Peter Jackson's early stuff, just with a little less flair. The vacuum and the arm amputation scenes were a couple that stood out I felt. 3.25/5 |

"Rio Bravo" (1959)
-John Wayne, Dean Martin, Angie Dickinson The sheriff of a small town in southwest Texas must keep custody of a murderer whose brother, a powerful rancher, is trying to help him escape. After a friend is killed trying to muster support for him, he and his deputies - a disgraced drunk and a cantankerous old cripple - must find a way to hold out against the rancher's hired guns until the marshal arrives. In the meantime, matters are complicated by the presence of a young gunslinger - and a mysterious beauty who just came in on the last stagecoach. I love this movie. In my opinion, it's Wayne's most "enjoyable" movie. "The Searchers" is his masterpiece and his greatest film, but this one is more fun. Great cast (and wasn't Angie Dickinson just drop dead gorgeous )and a fun story. |

Alien: Director's Cut. (with some commentary in-between)
Needless to say, the mind needed some refreshing...so out came the DVD for a comparative analytical viewing. The Director's Cut is a gorgeous visual experience (the reels look so spic and detailed), and the additions to the much-loved movie we already know are...interesting. For one, it retains most aspects of the original without going overboard. Some of the scenes stand snipped (like Dallas's queries from Mother regarding disposal of the Alien) and there's a really delicious scene added in the last 20 minutes of the movie. Most of you who have this DVD know about it, others might have read about it...but still I wont spoil it. Let's just say, it solved two queries of the die-hard viewer. Overall, the Director's Cut is great. By no means perfect, (because IMO it still can't beat the overall effect of the original, which has stood the test of time) it was still awe-inspiring to watch this. The original scores a big 9 everytime for me, and for the Director's Cut I give 8.5/10. |
Code Of Silence
Quite possibly Chuck Norris' greatest moment :) Great no bullshit 80s action flick Henry Silva is great as the villian. |

Made (2001)
It's no Swingers, but it's always good for a few chuckles. I love the buddy chemistry between Favreau and Vaughn, no matter the situation. |
king of california (2007)
not great, but it has a sort of indie charm. the performances were very good, though, i thought. |
