Thoughts on every movie I've ever seen.

The Legend of Drunken Master (1994)

Good kung fu. The wire work was fantastic. You can tell this is when Jackie Chan was making the transition to American film. He brought some of his humor back with him to China.

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)

Nice flavor, and some wicked stunts.

To Die For (1995)

Kidman was cute, for sure. But what a lame movie. There’s just not much to it.

Death Sentence (2007)

A nice surprise! Not bad at all for a 20 year-old director. A well-told story, thrilling and unflinching action, and one of Bacon’s best performances. I like how he is a little unstable, yet we still root for him. Takes both talented writing and acting to accomplish that.

Rocky V (1990)

Surprisingly good dialogue, and the streetfight was good, but it’s not a Rocky movie if he doesn’t step in the ring. He should have faced Tommy in the ring at the end.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)

Dumb.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

Quality filmmaking, quality cast, and quality acting for sure. Just not sure the story is dramatic enough.

Iron Man (2008)

Everyone loves it, and I think I know why. This has the best character development and realistic grounding of any superhero movie. But there’s a problem: there’s no drama. The effects are fantastic, and Downey adds a bit of personality, but what does Iron Man risk? What does he have…

Section 60: Arlington National Cemetery (2008)

Depressing, for sure. But is it anything else?

Hitman (2007)

Don’t care about the mindless, bloody action since the characters are so ridiculous. Olyphant is better than this. Kurylenko is pretty foxy.
