Game 6 (2005)

Reviewed on Mar 5, 2008

The Red Sox game footage was more interesting than any other part of the movie, unfortunately.

LaBoeuf is a talent. If the neighbor was a little bit cuter, they might have really had something here. The horribly vicious car accidents at the beginning accident seem a bit dramatic if they only served as a plot point to keep him in the house.

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)

Reviewed on Mar 2, 2008

Like a Christopher Guest film, only this one takes the fringe subject matter seriously. Or does it? Reviews suggest the film is “hilarious”. If these gamers are in fact real people, I wonder how they feel about everyone laughing at them. Either way, it’s interesting, entertaining, and well-made. Mitchell and…

The Out-of-Towners (1999)

Reviewed on Feb 26, 2008

About 1/10 the wit of the original. Martin’s makeup-to-humor ratio has risen exponentially every year since 1991, unfortunately.

7 Plus Seven (1970)

Reviewed on Feb 26, 2008

What’s interesting in the second film of the series is that, at 14, the kids have already taken a huge step forward in intelligence but are now just starting to realize that life sucks. While all of them were more or less equally lively and optimistic as young children, they…

Seven Up! (1964)

Reviewed on Feb 26, 2008

A interesting slice of daily life for kids in the 60’s. I bet it’s only being recognized as valuable now and that it was mostly dismissed back when it was made. Now, it’s a treasure. All new parents should watch it. Probably the last generation of kids to be uncorrupted…

The Wiz (1978)

Reviewed on Feb 23, 2008

Campy horribleness. Instead of Scarecrow, I think Michael Jackson really wants to be Diana Ross. Is this the beginning of his public obsession with kids?

Eastern Promises (2007)

Reviewed on Feb 23, 2008

Boring. Took six attempts to finally get through it. While I like Cassel, I’m not much of a Viggo fan, particularly when he’s naked. Have to admit that they both pull off the Russian thing pretty well, though.

The Pink Panther (2006)

Reviewed on Feb 20, 2008

Kids from this generation just aren’t into the Pink Panther, and it’s not smart enough for adults who used to be. So it’s stuck in no man’s land. A movie without an audience. The hamburger scene is pretty good, but it will take more than that to save this one.
