Reno 911!: Miami (2007)

Reviewed on Dec 16, 2008

Where’d they find these people? They’re a pretty talented and funny group of actors…

Flashbacks effectively tell the story. Interesting idea, and some suspenseful sequences. The scene with the gun in dark magnificently shot. Monsters were a bit too CGI, though. Will Smith is engaging. He really needs to stick with victim roles. Seeing a cocky guy humbled by the drama is one of…

Black and White (1999)

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)

Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)

Reviewed on Dec 2, 2008

Some really nice black and white photography, good acting, and the story depicts an important moment in history, arguably the “death” of television. But it’s boring.

American Gangster (2007)

Reviewed on Dec 2, 2008

Interesting story of a real guy, played admirably by Denzel. A bit long and slow, though. Showing Crowe struggle a bit more as the protagonist would have made it a bit more dramatic.
