Constantine (2005)

Reviewed on Apr 13, 2006

Effects are nice, but the story’s kinda blah. Keanu plays the chosen one again.

One of the most depressing and touching movies I have seen in a while. Indiscriminately tugs at your heartstrings like a few other movies in the 80’s, like Beaches. Fabulous cast. McLain is solid. Winger is fun, endearing, and charismatic. The demise of her character is part of what makes…

Brokeback Mountain (2005)

Reviewed on Apr 8, 2006

Lee draws things out a bit too much. It’s an interesting story, but it’s long and slow. Not a lot happens. Gyllenhaal’s got it. And Ledger actually can act, even if he does sound a bit like Karl from Sling Blade. Great aging make-up on the guys. Beautiful landscape photography.

Reviewed on Mar 30, 2006

Reminded me of “Very Bad Things” (I think the characters even refer to that film in the movie), only it’s a bit sloppy and not quite as dark. Acting is pretty good all around.

Sloppy and awkward, it’s a cheap vehicle for Arnie. Arnie’s got a few lines, but not enough to hold the lame story. It sure could have used another name actor.

Wild Safari 3D (2005)

Reviewed on Mar 27, 2006

One of the less interesting IMAX movies I’ve seen. Not much of a story. Even documentaries are supposed to have stories, or points. The footage is OK, but the 3D effects made my eyes hurt. Some of the effects forced us to focus so closely that it made my eyes…

50 First Dates (2004)

Reviewed on Mar 24, 2006

Sandler and Barrymore are decent. Schneider makes my skin curl. Catchy music.

I, Robot (2004)

Reviewed on Mar 23, 2006

Story makes you think a bit, and the effects are actually pretty good. Overall, a lot better than I thought it was going to be, particularly because Will Smith is in it.
