This Is It (2009)

Reviewed on Nov 12, 2009

As close to the real show as we’re ever going to get. He was ready to do this show, no doubt about it. A closer look at Michael and his working habits. Most people have only seen performances and tabloid clips, never this side of him. Had more footage of…

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

Reviewed on Nov 10, 2009

All the same problems of the first. I had hoped they’d learn from their mistakes, but they have not. Are they planning on prolonging the agony with a third? Climactic battles, but no character development to set them up. Prime dies? Really? I wish I cared. Every scene features a…

The Proposal (2009)

Reviewed on Nov 9, 2009

Reynolds and Bullock are OK. Not horrible, not hilarious. I almost always hate movies that feature their main characters posing for the camera on the movie poster/DVD cover.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)

Reviewed on Oct 24, 2009

More of the same low-brow drug and potty humor.

JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America (2009)

Reviewed on Oct 18, 2009

Fantastic collection of footage. I wish we knew the truth. Garrison really was a bad-ass, wasn’t he? I’m surprised he wasn’t shot.

The Brave One (2007)

Reviewed on Oct 15, 2009

Foster can do anything, but she excels playing the victim. This time, she gets some revenge. This has the same grittiness and vigilante storyline as Bacon’s Death Sentence. It’s even shot with a similar style.

Wanda Sykes: I’ma Be Me (2009)

Reviewed on Oct 15, 2009

Wanda’s humor is cute and nasty. She’s got a good delivery, and her voice definitely helps. She’s got some zingers in there and relatively few misses. I like how emotional she seems when she comes out for her curtain-call.

The Omega Man (1971)

Reviewed on Oct 11, 2009

Stupid monsters, stupid effects, but a great story. So when people get infected with this bacteria, most of them die, and the rest wear black and speak philosophy? Heston is his overstated, bitter, belly-laughing, toothy, awesome self. I can’t believe he was a sex symbol. He’s got a very average…

For Your Consideration (2006)

Reviewed on Sep 28, 2009

Another Guest movie. Same cast, similar comedy. These guys must really love working with each other. A few pretty funny moments. A lot of the comedy is so tight that it’s amazing the scenes are mostly improvised. For improvised comedy dialogue, these people give “Curb Your Enthusiasm” a run for…
