Thoughts on every movie I've ever seen.

88 Minutes (2007)

Better than I thought it was gonna be. Enough twists to keep it interesting, although there is so much going on that it borders on the confusing. Pacino’s getting old, but he’s still got it. What’s with his hair, though?

The Kid from Left Field (1953)

As formulaic as they come. Cameos from real ballplayers would have been nice.

Flyboys (2006)

Some cheesy acting and not much of a story, but some fun flying sequences.

Silent Rage (1982)

The first Terminator. Wasn’t Norris an action star? How come we don’t see any action? I saw one good kick. So cheesy. People actually thought this was good?

Max Dugan Returns (1983)

Filled with unnaturally fast banter and almost-witty wit, typical of Neil Simon. Broderick is goofy but pulls it off. Charley Lau is, predictably, all business.

Margot at the Wedding (2007)

Nice cast, and a different look at Jack Black. But what the heck was this movie about?

Full Review

Into the Wild (2007)

Well-shot, fitting music, great cast, and many wonderful supporting performances, but not emotional enough to carry it’s length or win the boy an Oscar. Chris is mildly interesting, but is he really a hero? Someone to be admired? Sure, he hates society. But what’s his real message? That you’re better…

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)

Horribly dumb. Could it be any more of a plug for the studio and it’s merchandising?

Ricochet (1991)

Denzel used to be super cool, didn’t he? Lithgow’s great.

Blades of Glory (2007)

Pleasantly surprised! Ferrell’s got a few great lines.
