Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
Pretty good story and writing. Everything’s tied up nicely, and some of the camaraderie of the original is preserved. Actually, a pretty good franchise. Gibson is likeable but his tics are a bit much. Kensit’s hot.

The Andromeda Strain (1971)
Like most films of this period, most shots are static, very deliberately framed, and hesitate for a moment too long, giving the film a desolate, sterile feeling. It worked for Planet of the Apes, but not much else. Effects, as expected, are a bit cheesy. The characters are stale, everyopne…

Batman (1989)
OK, but not as good as it should have been. Dark and moody, but Burton’s a bit of a disappointment. The script isn’t too smart, the characters aren’t too interesting, and some of the photography/editing looks a bit sloppy. Keaton isn’t the best choice for Batman. Everyone is too old…

Constantine (2005)
Effects are nice, but the story’s kinda blah. Keanu plays the chosen one again.

Brokeback Mountain (2005)
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.

100 Mile Rule (2002)
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.
